City of Kasson 2012 Drinking Water Report
PWSID: 1200005
The City of Kasson is issuing the results of monitoring done on its drinking water for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2012. The purpose of this report is to advance consumers’ understanding of drinking water and heighten awareness of the need to protect precious water resources.
Source of Water The City of Kasson provides water to its residents from a ground water source: three wells ranging from 828 to 857 feet deep, that draw from the Jordan Aquifer. The Minnesota Department of Health has determined that the sources used to supply your drinking water are not particularly susceptible to contamination. If you wish to obtain the entire source water assessment regarding your drinking water, please call 651201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during normal business hours. Also, you can view it online at www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/swp/swa. Call (507)634-7602 if you have questions about the City of Kasson drinking water or would like information about opportunities for public participation in decisions that may affect the quality of the water.
Results of Monitoring No contaminants were detected at levels that violated federal drinking water standards. However, some contaminants were detected in trace amounts that were below legal limits. The table that follows shows the contaminants that were detected in trace amounts last year. (Some contaminants are sampled less frequently than once a year; as a result, not all contaminants were sampled for in 2012. If any of these contaminants were detected the last time they were sampled for, they are included in the table along with the date that the detection occurred.) Key to abbreviations: MCLG-Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. MCL-Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. MRDL-Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level. MRDLG-Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal. AL-Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirement, which a water system must follow. 90th Percentile Level-This is the value obtained after disregarding 10 percent of the samples taken that had the highest levels. (For example, in a situation in which 10 samples were taken, the 90th percentile level is determined by disregarding the highest result, which represents 10 percent of the samples.) Note: In situations in which only 5 samples are taken, the average of the two with the highest levels is taken to determine the 90th percentile level.
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. City of Kasson is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. Monitoring may have been done for additional contaminants that do not have MCLs established for them and are not required to be monitored under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Results may be available by calling 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during normal business hours.
Compliance with National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from pCi/l-PicoCuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity). gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. ppm-Parts per million, which can also be expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/l). Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas ppb-Parts per billion, which can also be expressed as micrograms per liter (ug/l). production and mining activities. nd-No Detection In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U. S. Environmental Protection N/A-Not Applicable (does not apply). Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water *This is the value used to determine compliance with federal standards. It sometimes is provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
Comment: The Consumer Confidence Report for the City of Kasson will not be directly the highest value detected and sometimes is an average of all the detected values. If it is an mailed to all customers, but a copy is available upon request by calling 507-634-7602. average, it may contain sampling results from the previous year.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metal, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. Organic, chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products, of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production in mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water prescribed systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularily at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.

Research and development scientist Ryan Lins of Byron volunteers for Farmer-to-Farmer program in Africa
Byron resident Ryan Lins, a research and development scientist with Syngenta, collects a fruit fly trap with Louis Bota from the Mozambique Department of Agriculture and another staff member.
by Randy Carlsen Ryan Lins, a research and development scientist for Syngenta, traveled to Mozambique on a volunteer assignment with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Farmer-to-Farmer program. Ryan works out of his home in Byron and does product evaluation and biological assessment for Syngenta (primarily weed control). The program relies on the expertise of volunteers from farms in the United States, land grant universities, cooperatives and private agribusiness to provide short term technical assistance. The volunteers provide support throughout a variety of agricultural commodities, including work with fruit and vegetable, grains, dairy and livestock. Syngenta is a crop protection and seed company Ryan has worked for since 2005. With the main headquarters in Switzerland, the company approved of his desire to volunteer his services in a third world country. “I volunteered for the program two years ago,” said Ryan. When Ryan was first contacted they inquired about an assignment focused on soil fertility, but the assignment did not fit his expertise or schedule. However, within two months another assignment came up that better fit his background. This assignment focused on an area in Mozambique, Africa where farmers had a fruit fly infestation.
Ryan Lins talks to a farmer about the fruit fly infestation in Mozambique which has prevented farmers from exporting their fruit crops to their biggest customer, South Africa.
Ryan had some time to do background research on the fruit fly infestation and problems they were having. The main crops affected were mango, bananas, avocado and bell peppers. The most concerning problem with the infestation is the fact they could not export the products to their biggest customer, South Africa, due to quarantine restrictions. That loss has been severely limiting local agriculture revenues. Upon arriving in Mozambique Ryan met with their department of agriculture and a number of grower groups. He then traveled out into the countryside with people from the ag department and an interpreter to collect a number of fruit fly traps. “It did not take long to see how bad the problem was,” said Ryan. “There were thousands of these fruit flies in one trap.” They did meet up with progressive farmers who knew how to minimize the fruit fly problem. They were however in the minority. Many of the farmers had no control measures in place. Additionally, the Department of Agriculture was promoting an eradication program, but the fruit fly infestation was so big that eradication was ineffective. Farmers also have limited resources and funds to eradicate. After talking to people from the Mozambique Ag Department, grower groups and traveling into the field to talk to farmers, Ryan put together a 12 point plan on how the farmers can manage the pest. “Even if they implement four or five of these points they could make

their products exportable,” said Ryan. A couple of the points had to do with simple orchard sanitation. The farmers were not cleaning up fallen fruit under the trees. Another of the points was determining when the fruit was most vulnerable to fruit fly damage and protecting the fruit during those growth stages. Another problem in a third world country like Mozambique is they don’t have “information sharing networks”. “In the United States we have the University extension system. They don’t have that network of information and good ways in relaying that to the farmers,” said Ryan. Many of the farmers were misusing control options that were available, and in many cases this was contributing to the problem by using those controls. Ryan feels that he can make a difference for the farmers he worked with if his recommendations are taken into consideration. Mozambique is a very poor country. What most people don’t realize though is they can grow enough food to feed all the people. “Poor infrastructure and lack of organization prevents that from happening,” he said. An American research and development scientist with Syngenta from Byron, MN attempted to make a difference in the way farmers from Mozambique deal with a fruit fly infestation. “It was a very fulfilling experience and I felt like I was helpful,” said Ryan. It’s now up to them to follow through.
A farm manager stands near one of the fruit fly traps. This is the typical farm yard in Mozambique. Fruit farming is very popular and the fruit fly infestation has become a big concern.
Ryan Lins is collecting fruit in the bush from a marula tree which grows wild. A local farmer looks on.

Habitat for Humanity plans for another K-M home Following recent successes building homes in Kasson and Mantorville, Habitat for Humanity has begun planning for another KM home to be built in 2014/2015. The local KMHH steering committee has entered the initial planning stage and is currently searching for potential building sites. They have also began fundraising, with their first event being a waffle breakfast on Saturday May 4, 7:30 am to 11:30 am, at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Kasson. Please contact the Rochester Area Habitat for Humanity office at (507-2520849 or volmgr@rahh.org) if you are interested in donating toward this project, interested in joining the KMHH steering committee, or looking for more information. “Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.”
Three weeks ago ground was broken for the third Habitat for Humanity home in Dodge County for the Adreon family in Dodge Center. Missy and Wayne Adreon and their six children had their Zumbro Falls home destroyed in the flooding. Friday construction started on the home with BCM of Faribault doing the excavating. Wayne works for the company and was working at the site (standing in the background). Missy is in the front watching as the hole grows. This will be the second of three homes in Dodge County that has partnered with Thrivent by receiving a grant. Th Adreon family is expected to move into their new home in December. Each family member 18 or older must contribute 200 hours of sweat equity to the project. They will receive an interest free mortgage, but will make payments to pay the mortgage off.

Top driver distractions Distracted driving can be very dangerous. Diverting one's attention from the road for mere seconds can have serious, and potentially fatal, consequences. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found distracted driving kills more than 15 people each day while injuring more than 1,200. Any activity that takes attention away from driving is considered a distraction. These include taking your hands off the wheel, daydreaming or engaging in any behavior that takes your eyes off of the road. Certain activities are known distractions, and understanding which habits can be dangerous and making strides to correct behaviors can help save lives, prevent injuries and reduce accident-related expenses. A study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute indicates 80 percent of crashes and 65 percent of near-crashes in the United States involve some form of driver distraction. This distraction took place a mere three seconds before the vehicle crash. An Allstate Canada marketing survey of 1,605 Canadian adults conducted between July 26 and July 28 found that, although the vast majority of Canadians thinks driving while distracted is unacceptable, nearly three out of four Canadian drivers admits to engaging in a behavior that is considered a distraction. That is perhaps in part because drivers are not aware just how distracting some the following behaviors truly are. Using mobile phones: Leading the list of the top distractions behind the wheel are mobile phones. Phones now do more than just place calls, and drivers often cannot pull away from their phones, even when driving. According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, studies have shown that driving performance is lowered and the level of distraction is higher for drivers who are heavily engaged in cell phone conversations. The use of a hands-free device does not lower distraction levels. The percentage of vehicle crashes and near-crashes attributed to dialing is nearly identical to the number associated with talking or listening. Accident rates have increased thanks to texting, which involves a person taking his or her hands and eyes off of the road. A 2009 study by Car and Driver magazine compared the dangers of texting while driving to the effects of driving drunk to see which would be more dangerous under the same conditions. Measuring the time it takes to brake after being alerted by a red light to stop, the reaction time was recorded when the driver was legally drunk, reading an e-mail and sending a text. Texting easily elicited the slowest response time.

Ironically, in January 2011, Texas man Chance Bothe drove off of a cliff after texting that he had to stop texting or risk dying in a car accident. Bothe survived but sustained significant injuries and had to be revived from death three times. Moving Objects: Whether there's a pet bouncing in the front seat or children being boisterous in the back, passengers and items moving around the car are significant distractions. Turning around to look at the kids or to reach for a ball that may be rolling around on the floor of the car can take a person's eyes off the road. If something really is important and needs to be addressed, it is much safer to pull over and take care of it before getting back on the road. Daydreaming: Many people will admit to daydreaming behind the wheel or looking at a person or object outside of the car for too long. Perhaps they're checking out a house in a new neighborhood or thought they saw someone they knew on the street corner. It can be easy to veer into the direction your eyes are focused, causing an accident. In addition to trying to stay focused on the road, some drivers prefer the help of lane departure warning systems. Eating: Those who haven't quite mastered walking and chewing gum at the same time may want to avoid eating while driving. The majority of foods require a person's hands to be taken off of the wheel and their eyes to be diverted from the road. Reaching in the back seat to share some French fries with the kids is also distracting. Try to eat meals before getting in the car. For those who must snack while en route, take a moment to pull over at a rest area and spend 10 minutes snacking there before resuming the trip. Reading: Glancing at an advertisement, updating a Facebook status or reading a book are all activities that should be avoided when driving. Even pouring over a traffic map or consulting the digital display of a GPS system can be distracting. When driving, attention should be placed on the task of safely getting from point A to point B. All other activities taking place in the vehicle are distractions that can end up risking a person's life.

House moves ahead with damaging changes to education and taxes n By
Duane Quam, State Representative, HD29A/25A
On April 23, 2013 the Minnesota House debated and passed the Omnibus K-12 Education Finance bill, the largest single expenditure of our state’s budget. In our current budget, passed in 2011, we provided a 33 % increase and spent $15.5 billion. This budget also helped spur over $300 million in surplus that will be used to pay back the school shift. With $15.7 billion in funding for our public schools, the bill also creates millions in new bureaucratic mandates that funnel money outside of the classroom. Line items like new “regional centers of excellence” aren’t necessary to improve the classroom experience for our kids. Even more concerning, however, is the elimination of graduation standards that got slipped into the bill. Currently, Minnesota High Schoolers take several assessments in order to qualify for a high school diploma. Two of these GRAD (Graduation Required Assessment for Diploma) tests include the GRAD Writing Test given at grade nine and the Grade 10 Reading MCA. These tests are now on the chopping block. Why would we remove statewide comprehensive standards for our students? Embarrassed by poor results in their metro school districts, some powerful education groups have applied great pressure on Governor Dayton and my Democrat colleagues in the legislature to do-away with these measurements. Unfortunately for our students, the pressure worked.
Shopper A Page 9
With great concern for our local schools and student readiness for post-graduation, I spoke with several teachers in our district and offered an amendment to the K-12 bill which would have kept a grad standard in place. Through an accumulation of scores across subject areas, my amendment would have allowed an overall positive score for students and teacher candidates to outweigh a potentially lower score in one subject area. It would have kept a state standard for our graduates and our new teachers in place. My amendment was rejected by House Democrats and the elimination of crucial learning measurement benchmarks will march on. On Wednesday night, the House also passed the largest tax increase in three decades. Paid for with new higher income taxes and a shift in lower and middle income brackets, the bill also brings about higher sales taxes on alcohol products and tobacco. One lesser known item in HF677 (Omnibus Tax Bill) is the elimination of the state’s charitable giving tax credit for those that itemize deductions, as well as the elimination of a tax credit for purchasing longterm care insurance. With new taxes and fees totaling $3 billion over the next two years, people from our area across income levels will feel the bite of this stone-cold job killer. Businesses will have less to hire and grow jobs, and may raise prices or close down. Farmers will not see the property tax relief they deserve, because the bill is focused on metro-area interests. In all, the new taxes amount to over $500 for every man, woman and child in Minnesota, or $2000 for a family of four. Both bills will now merge with Senate versions and return to the House before they are given final passage and sent to Governor Dayton. Thank you for your input during these long weeks of session, I appreciate hearing from you.

Soldiers Field Veterans Memorial Inc. and Southeast Minnesota Honor Flight are proud to announce the exclusive showing of “Honor Flight, One Last Mission.” This movie is a documentary about four living World War II veterans and a Midwest community coming together to give them the trip of a lifetime to Washington D.C. to see the memorial constructed for them in 2005, nearly 60 years after the War. The movie accurately reflects the experiences of the 1,032 veterans and hundreds of volunteers who participated in the 10 Honor Flights sponsored by Southeast Minnesota Honor Flight taken from 2008 to 2011.

You ask the Senior question
We find the Savvy answer How Health Insurance Marketplaces Will Help Early Retirees Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about the new Obamacare health insurance exchanges that begin next year? I am interested in retiring early at age 61, but need to find some affordable health until my Medicare benefits begin at 65. Ready to Retire Dear Ready, The new health insurance exchanges – also known as Health Insurance Marketplaces – that begin in 2014 will be a welcome benefit to millions of Americans who need health insurance, especially uninsured baby boomers and pre-Medicare retirees who often have a difficult time finding affordable coverage. How It Will Work As part of the Affordable Care Act, starting Oct. 1 you will be able to shop and compare health insurance policies in your area, and enroll in one directly through your state’s Health Insurance Marketplace website. The policies will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2014. You’ll also be happy to know that federal law dictates that Marketplace insurers cannot deny you coverage or charge you higher rates based on pre-existing health conditions, and they can’t charge women more than men. But, they can charge older customers more than younger ones – up to three times more. Every state will have a Marketplace, but each state can choose how it will operate. Seventeen states and the District of Columbia will run their own state-based Marketplace, seven states will partner with the federal government, and 26 states will offer federal Marketplaces. The differences between federal and state programs will be subtle. You will be able to access your state’s Health Insurance Marketplace at healthcare.gov. The policies available through these Marketplaces will be sold by insurance companies and will provide a package of 10 essential benefits, including emergency services, hospital care, lab services, prescription drugs, doctor visits, preventive care and rehab services. To make shopping and comparing a little easier, the health plans will be divided into four different levels – bronze, silver, gold and platinum – each offering similar benefits but with a different cost structure. The bronze plan will have the lowest monthly premiums but have highest out-of-pocket costs, while the platinum plans will have the highest premiums but the lowest deductibles and co-payments. The Marketplaces will also offer a toll-free hotline to help you choose a plan that meets your needs and budget. These helpers aren’t associated with any particular plan, and they aren’t on any type of commission, so the help they give you will be completely unbiased. Costs and Tax-Credits Prices will vary depending on where you live, your age and the health plan you choose. Exact cost structures for most Marketplaces will be released within the next few months. To help make coverage affordable, sliding scale taxcredits will be available if you earn less than 400 percent of the poverty level – that’s $45,960 for a single person and $62,040 for couples. These tax-credit subsidies will provide immediate savings off your monthly premiums. To find out if you qualify, or see how much a tax-credit will reduce your monthly costs, you’ll need to submit a Marketplace application in October, or when you decide enroll. In the meantime, you can calculate your potential tax-credit premium savings by using the Kaiser Family Foundation calculator at healthreform.kff.org – click on “Interactive Features” and then scroll down to “Subsidy Calculator.” For more information on the Health Insurance Marketplaces including a checklist of things you can do now to help you choose a plan, visit healthcare.gov/marketplace.

Name: Dennis Vang Branch: Navy Air Years of service: March 1957-March 1963 Why are you supporting the Veteran’s Memorial in Dodge Center? I am proud to have served my country and those who served need to be remembered. Do you have any memories you wish to share of your time in the military? I joined the U.S.A. Navy Air while still in high school under a special six-year program. After graduating, I spent two years active duty - the first year on Midway Island and another year on Barber’s Point, Hawaii. While there, I was an aviation structural mechanic second class petty officer. I was an E-5 upon my Honorable Discharge. The rest of my duty was in the Navy Reserve. When first assigned to Midway Island, the wrecked Japanese ships that were hung up and rusting on the reef impressed me. It was a sign that during the War in the Pacific no Japanese made it onto Midway. The Battle of Midway in 1942 was the turning point of WW II in the Pacific for the Americans. Our barracks held the reminders of that battle for the beams were bent where the shells had hit them. As an 18-year old I felt like the rest of the sailors…Midway was for the birds. The island is half a mile by one and a half miles and loaded with albatrosses. Because of the size of these large birds no jets were allowed there. Only propeller driven aircraft could be used for antisubmarine warfare. Our planes flew from Midway to Alaska and back protecting our country from enemy submarines. Veteran’s View is a collaboration with the Dodge Center Foundation. It highlights veterans who will be recognized in the Dodge Center Veteran’s Memorial, which will begin construction this spring. For more information or to purchase a paver, please contact Gary Trelstad at 374-6115 or Bill Ketchum at 374-6049.

A Dodge Center man was hospitalized a week ago Sunday night following an accident that occurred on Highway 57 at the intersection of County Road 16. The accident took place around 10:30 p.m. According to the Minnesota State Patrol, Ross Butler, 25, driving a Buick sedan, was traveling north on #57 just outside of Mantorville. He allegedly attempted to turn on to County 16 and was struck by a southbound Dodge truck. As of last Monday Butler was listed in fair condition and the driver of the truck was not hospitalized.

Navy Seaman Benjamin R. Albrecht, son of Kent A. Albrecht, of Dodge Center, MN, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, IL. During the eight-week program, Albrecht completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations". This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Battle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ''Navy'' flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. Albrecht is a 2007 graduate of Kasson-Mantorville High School. He is a 2009 graduate of University of Phoenix, Phoenix, AZ with an associate's degree.

A patriotic-themed handmade pillow case, homemade cookies, a picture colored by a young student, a poppy and a note of thanks. These packets from Mantorville VFW Auxiliary #4555 are given to veterans in the Seasons Hospice program with gratitude and thanks for their service. On Wednesday, May 8th, the Mantorville VFW is hosting a community forum to learn about the Veterans Fund at Seasons Hospice that helps veterans with limited resources reside at the hospice house or provide for other needs that are determined on a case by case basis by the hospice staff. Attendees will also learn about the “Veterans to Veterans” volunteer program that enables dying veterans to receive visits and a final salute from a fellow veteran dressed in uniform. The forum begins at 7:00 p.m. with light refreshments and presentations by Julie Assef, Admissions Coordinator for Seasons Hospice and Christine Humble, Director of Volunteer Services. Whether you are a veteran, a family member of a veteran or just have a love for our military heroes, all are welcome. Veteran thank you packets are made by members of the Mantorville VFW Auxiliary as a way to honor veterans who are on their final journey home with Seasons Hospice. Rose Harris, Auxiliary president said, "We have talented ladies who love to sew and put their skills to use to help us honor veterans. I would like to expand our efforts to include veterans in Dodge County nursing homes and other care facilities, as well as increase our participation with Seasons Hospice to honor all veterans". For additional information contact Rose Harris at 507-272-4918. For additional information about volunteering for the Veterans to Veterans program, contact Chris Humble at Seasons Hospice – 507-285-1930. 19sh

The Southeast Minnesota Human Services Delivery Authority reviews progress
CALL FOR THEATRE ARTISTS! Summer Tryouts will be held on May 12, 19 and 20 at 7:00 PM at the Mantorville Opera House.
The Southeast Minnesota Human Services Delivery Authority is holding meetings to review the progress on creating a common human services department across Dodge, Mower, Steele and Waseca counties. The first meeting was Friday, April 26, with agencies and providers who partner with human services. The second meeting was held Tuesday, April 30, with the four counties’ commissioners. Both meetings were held at the Steele County History Center, located at Steele County Fairgrounds. The Authority is working on an innovative model that would combine four human services departments into one. It promotes the idea that one larger department would more efficiently use tax dollars to better meet the needs of human service clients by sharing expertise, staff and technology. The meetings presented the proposed model, discussed next steps and answered questions. County commissioners in the four counties will soon be making a decision on moving to the next phase in the implementation process. Human services departments provide a number of statemandated programs and services to protect and help children and adults who have health, financial, social or family needs and connect them with other community social service providers, agencies, and the financial and other resources that will help them live safely with independence and dignity.

The economy is beginning to show improvement and employers throughout Southeast Minnesota are gearing up for increased competition for talented workers. Vying to be recognized as one of the area’s Best Places To Work is exactly where every business will want to be. Thanks to the Workforce Development, Inc., the Southeast Minnesota Workforce Investment Board, we all now know who some of those companies are in Southeast Minnesota. Fifteen companies were recognized as the “Best Places to Work” in Southeast Minnesota at an event held on Thursday, April 25 at the Rochester International Event Center. The companies recognized include:
Consulting of Florida. Every company participating in the survey will receive a detailed 19-page report detailing the information on their company and the results of the survey. The data was measured on such parameters as: turnover, rate of growth, promotion rates, employee evaluations and feedback, percentage of employee injured, diversity of management, benefits offered, training expenditures, paid days off and increase in pay. Employers also have an opportunity to highlight programs they are most proud of, or Best Practices that they believe have a positive impact on their workforce. Many highlighted the investments they make in professional development, employee training programs and profit sharing. Tele-commuting opportunities and Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are also common among the recognized organizations, as are new employee mentoring/buddy orientation programs. Some organizations even provide low interest or interest free loans to their workforce. A common theme within all of the recognized organizations is the value they place on recognizing and appreciating their staff. Examples include an Employee Appreciation Week when staff is given gifts and food is brought in throughout the week. Other examples include: “Ice-Cream Thursdays” in the summer, “Bagel Mondays”, family outings, wellness events including flu shot clinics for families, nutrition/exercise classes and “Biggest Loser” style competitions, walking trails, basketball courts, and kickball tournaments. Some organizations use “Peer to Peer” awards, and “High Fives” to provide opportunities for staff to recognize each other. Overall, these organizations make substantial investment in training and retaining their staff. The return on their investment is a highly engaged, highly satisfied workforce that is proud to work for each of these organizations. Workforce Development, Inc. and partners are proud to bring the “Best Places to Work” program to Southeast Minnesota.
