Paws and Claws unveils new windows of hope By Wendy Wilson wendy@olmstedcountyjournal.com
It is a place where kittens scamper across the floor, crawl into laps and tumble after toys – and even dive head-first into one rapt reporter’s pile of frizzy, blond hair. It’s a place where dogs roll in the grass, run and play. Paws and Claws Humane Society in Rochester, Minn. moved the animals into their new home on 19th Street Northwest last week. Construction of the 7,500-square-foot facility
designed by Jackson & Ryan Architects began in September. “Everything is state-of-the-art,” says Paws and Claws Manager Tanya Johnson. Upon entering, light streaming from a bank of windows above bathes visitors with a warm glow. They then step into a world of soft paws and gentle whiskers as they are surrounded by rows of gracious and precocious felines, who stare out through their own windows at potential adoptive families. “There aren’t enough homes,” Johnson says, “You are saving a
life by adopting.” Each animal living at the shelter has a story. Most were brought there because other shelters no longer could keep them and their next alternative was euthanization – some shelters only keep the animals for a couple weeks before euthanizing them. Other animals were found as strays, came from abusive homes or their families could no longer keep them. See PAWS & CLAWS Page 10

MnDOT Projects Higher Number of Traffic Deaths for 2013 the 42, three of them were listed under the ‘alcohol related motorcyclist injuries’ category. The entire state saw a total of 1,563 motorcycle crashes last year, 51 of them considered fatal crashes, 1,320 listed as injury crashes, and 192 property damage only crashes. Within the 51 fatal crashes there were 55 motorcyclist fatalities, 15 of which were alcohol related. In addition to the 2012 motorcyclist fatalities, there were 1,454 motorcyclists injured, 125 involving alcohol (Note: The
number that beats 2012’s 395 fatality statistic by 55 more deaths. There is no denying that the recent spike in motorcycle accidents, though not all of them have resulted in fatalities, are contributing to the rapidly rising total. According to MnDOT’s 2012 motorcycle crash report, Olmsted County had 42 motorcycle crashes reported. Thirtynine of them were considered ‘injury crashes’ and three that were listed under the ‘property damage only crashes.’ Also, of
By Mitchell Walbridge Amidst the events of several motorcycle crashes within southeastern Minnesota the last couple of weeks, MnDOT is concerned that the rising death toll on Minnesota roadways will be significantly higher than the tally from 2012. Currently, the state has surpassed the 200 total fatalities mark, which is of great concern for public safety officials. Officials are estimating a projection of 450 deaths on Minnesota roadways this year, a

A Mass of Christian Burial was on Thursday, August 1, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. at St. Felix Catholic Church with Lenore interment folMargaret lowing at St. Brunsvold Felix Cemetery, both in Wabasha, Minn. Lenore was born January 23, 1933 in Wabasha to Clarence and Marie (McNallen) Wodele. On October 31, 1953 she married Orland Brunsvold in Wabasha. They farmed in Bristol Township until 1980 when they moved to Harmony. Lenore worked as a waitress at the Green Parrott Restaurant in Rochester and at the Harmony Health Care Center. Lenore enjoyed music, flowers, dancing and had a special love for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is survived by her husband of 59 years, Orland; two sisters, LaVada (Roger) Reckmann
of Lake City, Minn., and Mary (Gerry) Becker of Alma, Wis., three children: Carolyn (Bill) of Kalamazoo, Mich., Charles (Julie) of Preston, Minn. and David of Arizona; seven grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren and expecting another in January. She is further survived by Orland’s brother Dean (Mavis) Brunsvold of Harmony and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and a brother LaVerne Wodele. Walter Leonard Martin Walter Leonard Martin, 95, formerly of Wykoff, Minn. died July 26, 2013 in the Chosen Valley Care Center in Chatfield, Minn. Walter was born on March 12, 1918, to Arthur and Agnes (Gorman) Martin on the home farm in Pilot Mound Township. Walter attended Country School in Pilot Mound, then attended Chatfield High School, graduating in 1936. After High School, Walter worked on several farms in the Fillmore County area. Through his work on the farms, he met Rebecca Walker. They were married December 6, 1941 at the Methodist parsonage in Brownsdale, Minn. Walter was inducted into the Army on January 15, 1942, at Fort Snelling in Minneapolis. He completed basic training in Texas and
Wednesday, August 7, 2013 North Carolina. On September 26, 1942, Private Martin of the 9th Infantry Division, 39th regiment-- Fox Company-- boarded the USS Thomas Stone bound for England. On the morning of November 7, 1942, the ship was torpedoed and Walter, along with the other infantry men, boarded life boats and sometime later were picked up by a British ship which took him to Africa. With Fox Company, Walter traveled across Africa and Europe. Like many WWII vets, Walter never talked much about his time in the Army until the last few years. He has since shared many stories with family and friends. He had been in many close battles and felt a strong presence of the Lord, watching over him and guiding him to safety. In December 1944, Walter was wounded in the shoulder and still carried a souvenir of shrapnel for which he received the Purple Heart medal. After discharge from the Army, Walter returned to Wykoff and started farming with Rebecca’s father, Hugh Walker, on the Walker farm. Walter and Rebecca had two daughters, Patricia and Susan. Together they enjoyed traveling, square dancing, playing cards, watching the Twins or Vikings and hosting family in their home. Walter served as a lay speaker
Olmsted Medical Center Begins Construction ROCHESTER, Minn.— Earlier this month, Olmsted Medical Center (OMC) began construction of a dedicated sports medicine and athletic performance facility on land immediately west of its Rochester Northwest clinic. Construction of the 15,000-square-foot facility should be complete by late 2013. The new building will cost $3.3 million to build and equip, and will offer its own free patient parking area in between its entrance and the
Rochester Northwest clinic. The building will house OMC’s current sports medicine and athletic performance services, including clinical care, rehabilitation services, athletic performance training and education, and one-onone nutrition education. Specific programs designed for multiple sports include anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) prevention, personal training, speed/agility/quickness training, strength and conditioning training, a Title-

C ommentary Frankly Speaking The Motor City: It’s past is prologue By Frank W. Hawthorne “Now the American city has been transformed. The poor still inhabit the miserable housing in the central area, but they are increasingly isolated from contact with, or sight of, anybody else... The failure, the unskilled, the disabled, the aged, and the Frank W. minorities are Hawthorne right there, across the tracks, where they have always been. But hardly anyone else is...That the poor are invisible is one of the most important things about them. They are not simply neglected and forgotten as in the old rhetoric of reform; what is much worse, they are not seen.” --Michael Harrington, “The Other America,” 1962. News item of July 18, 2013— “Today, Detroit filed the largest municipal bankruptcy case in U.S. history.” As Kurt Vonnegut, one of the favorite fiction authors of my (Michigancentered) youth, might have fatalistically put it: “And so it goes...” And, no doubt--judging from much of the “Detroit Hate” rising-up in the conservative mainstream media, and of course in the even less-filtered blogosphere--there are now lots of Americans ready to consign Motown and it’s (mostly poor and/or modestly pensioned) citizens to the non-fiction ashheap of history. But surely— to paraphrase an existentialist Peggy Lee song from the era of my youth—that cannot be “All there is” to our collective love/hate relationship with one of the most historic and major U.S. cities. Editorial Cartoon
These are some of my thoughts regarding part of that still “other America” which Harrington wrote presciently about some fifty years ago. Hopefully, there are some lessons for all of us in their telling. When I was about four, in the late 1950’s, my family took a steam train into Detroit to visit my grandparents. It was the first of many visits we made—mostly by car—through the sprawling, greatly changing streets of that once-amazing, oft-thriving place. Even for a disabled uncle who worked at the Cadillac plant on Jefferson Avenue, auto industry jobs seemed plentiful, and paid many of their workers well. But—when I look back to see how that city’s unemployment figures for the “rich” decade of the 1950’s often hovered near 10 percent--I realize now how our limited reality didn’t reflect employment conditions for all Motor-City residents. Grandpa was a recently retired, white-collar professional, and my grandma was still working as a (unionized) public school teacher. My grandfather was a Canadian-American immigrant, and--even after losing his pension to a shady corporate bankruptcy—he was a mostly rigid conservative. Together, until his death from heart disease in 1967, they were an inseparable couple; and presided over a growing tribe of middle-class children and grandchildren. However, I well recall that the one thing they had no wide-embracing love or understanding for was: “The Colored Problem.” Mind, this was in the immediate post WWII era when the race percentages in Detroit
were approximately: 80 percent White & 20 percent Black. In the hot summer of 1967, after years of tension and incidents between the races, blacks rioted for four days in the poorest parts of the ghetto. The result was 43 dead, 1,189 injured, over 7,200 arrests, and more than 2,000 buildings destroyed; and the scale of the riot was surpassed only by the New York City Draft Riots of the U.S. Civil War, and the ’92 Los Angeles Riots. Afterwards, my brother and I accompanied our father into the city with a truckload of relief supplies from our rural church. I vividly remember seeing the armed National Guard soldiers at all the intersections, and how many of the traffic lights were shot full of bullet holes. To us, it seemed like the stark violence of the Vietnam War was being brought home to our own communities. When we later gave a ride to a black family, the two black boys of our approximate ages couldn’t seem to comprehend that there was a non-urban, non-poor reality that existed outside of the blasted city they inhabited. It was almost incomprehensible to us to hear that they had never been outside of Detroit; i.e. beyond the invisible “race wall” of 8 Mile Road that divided their city from the largely white and prosperous suburbs. In the wake of that citychanging event, non-black folks like my relatives didn’t just talk (scared) about the collective failure of the races to communicate and relate, they accelerated “white flight” from the city by the tens of thousands. Who could blame them, many said; but perhaps those left behind then, plus those of us with current-day historical perspective. Today, after decades of
despair and negative trends, those telling population stats are about flipped--i.e. 80 percent Black & 20 percent White. Detroit’s inner-core population of 713,000 is half what is was in those years; even as the ring suburbs continue to grow and thrive. As many others have welldocumented (e.g. See the 2012 award-winning documentary “Detropia” for grim details), the greatly sprawling Motown is now a “Too-much Town” geographically, featuring vast vistas of abandoned buildings and vacant acreage. In fact, one of the few, muchdiscussed business opportunities for a New Detroit lies in “urban farming.” Don’t mistake my personal prejudices, and childhood recollections, as some kind of blanket apology for what has happened to Detroit. I too recognize that there were and are plenty of widely shared bad decisions, and even (public and private) villains, involved in the decline of this once great metropolis. “Where you grow-up matters,” says Harvard economist Nathaniel Hendren, one of the authors of the recently released Equality of Opportunity Proj-

ect study that measures income mobility throughout the United States. Detroit was founded by the French in 1701; and was a successful British colonial city before it ever hosted Old Glory and became known worldwide as an “engine of democracy.” No doubt, with or without help from the rest of us, it will survive in some (more sustainable) form for more centuries to come. Regardless of my own family’s history with--and abandonment of--it, I’m hoping that the American people will not turn their collective back on this tragic, Soweto-like case study in urban decay.

C ommentary One Moment, Please... Capital punishment By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal & Olmsted County Journal Cell: 507-251-5297 jason@olmstedcountyjournal.com I remember when we lived in Illinois and I had the opportunity to watch Governor George Ryan unravel in his political Jason Sethre
and criminal demise revolving around scandal after scandal. But, while there was an endless Chinese box structure of lies and deceit, the one thing that bothered me most was that a governor, such as the once incarcerated (released on July 3, 2013) George Ryan, was empowered to grant clemency on 156 death row inmates. This meant that all inmates on death row were automatically given a life sentence without the possibility of parole. What makes any governor
more knowledgeable than our judicial system, our juries, our Democracy? In many cases, any governor in any of our 50 states lacks knowledge and experience in the area of our judicial system. But, in Illinois, Governor George Ryan waved his magic wand before he was incarcerated, and 156 people who destroyed a lot of lives became a part of our bloated prison system of longevity. So, while my rant on capital punishment may appear to be focused on former Governor George Ryan, it is isn’t. No, my reason for bringing this up is because of the recent ruling for Ariel Castro in his
case relating to 937 counts of murder, kidnapping and rape. He enslaved three women over the course of more than 10 years. And, when I say women, I mean that they were women when they were rescued, but they were in their teens when they were abducted by Castro. We have a serious issue here, folks. As a society, we need to deal with evil people like Castro. Giving him a life sentence is simply throwing money away at the taxpayer’s expense. While some people may accuse me of playing God in this scenario, I simply don’t see any rehabilitation for a person like Castro. Would you let him live with
Hickey, Palmer advance in Ward 5 city council race By Nate Langworthy Rochester voters nearly avoided the fourth 1x3and final election date in a series of special elec8.6.13 tions that have resulted from former council president Dennis Hanson’s death in June of 2012. Fifth Ward City Council candidate Mark Hickey won nearly three times as many votes as his closest competitors in the sevencandidate field. With 648 votes in support of Hickey out of a total of 1,348 cast in total, only 26 more votes would have given
him 50 percent, enough to win the Fifth Ward council member seat outright. Hickey said that he didn’t see that amount of support for his candidacy. “The campaign was Shaun Palmer so unusual that you didn’t know what was going to happen,” Hickey said. “You can distribute flyers, but
actually having that face to face contact counts for a lot.” Clarifying what role the public will have in the implementation of activities related to the Destination Medical Center effort was the prime Mark Hickey concern that Hickey heard in speaking to Fifth Ward residents. “It has overwhelming support, but there’s still a lot of confusion and anxiety about what is going to happen and who makes decisions that will affect them,” he said. Hickey said that he spent 18 hours each weekend, and three each weekday, going door to door talking with Ward 5 residents. In addition, his family
- ready with years of paper route experience - helped distribute Hickey’s campaign literature in the days leading up to the primary. Candidate Shaun Palmer pulled through, advancing to the Fifth Ward general election for a third time after winning 254 votes, enough for a second place finish. Palmer said that he believes name recognition will work in his favor this time around and “We’re happy to have pulled through and you never know what will happen,” Palmer said, noting that he won more primary votes than then candidate Randy Staver in 2010. Staver then went on to win the general election. “The first time I ran against Bob Nowicki, he was well known. I ran against Randy Staver and he was well known.

What he did to his victims is disgusting, and they will forever be tortured emotionally for the rest of their lives for what he did to them. They will never have a normal life. So, why must we give him a life sentence? Why not capital punishment? There is something definitely wrong with our system.

This time I think people are more familiar with me that some of the other candidates.” Palmer plans to focus exclusively on his campaign in coming for a sizable amount of time leading up to the general election. First time candidate Byron Clark finished in third place with 214 total votes. Historic preservation advocate Tim Schmitt finished with 114 total votes. Jan Throndson, who twice ran for city council president in the last year, finished with 46 votes. New Lourdes High School interim principal Joe O’Toole finished with 64 votes, and first time candidate Jerry Lemke won eight votes.

If you are anything like me, you hate seeing things go to waste. Nothing bothers me more than throwing something out that I know could be of good use. I recycle, I compost, I reuse, but there are some things that I just have to sigh and throw out because I don’t know what to do with them. Dryer lint is one of these things that makes me sigh heavily when I have to throw it out. It is an annoying part of laundry, and I create so much of the darn stuff! The mouse on my rusty brain wheel always starts running when I toss the cotton candy like substance into the garbage can next to my dryer… Could I spin it into thread and knit a sweater? My mouse stops dead in its tracks when I realize I would have to not only track down a spinning wheel but learn how to spin things AS WELL AS take up knitting. So that is out. My mouse starts chugging slowly along again as I think about tossing it gently into the wind, allowing the birds to catch it and fly off to line the inside of their nests for their little ones. This time, my mouse falls off the wheel completely after I snap out of my Disney-like daydream and realize my abundance of dryer lint would just be creating a huge mess in my yard. So I sadly kept throwing it out until one magical day (no, we are not still in my Disney daydream)
Oronoco Auto Parts & Auto Sales
while surfing Pintrest I ran across a pin of homemade fire-starters using dryer lint! Resisting the urge to jump up and break into song, I happily pinned it and put it on my to-do list. Soon thereafter I made them (while making a huge mess) and then gleefully gave them to my husband, where he instantly rolled his eyes at my newest
adventure. However, after using them he declared it a great fire starter for our charcoal grill and our summer time bonfires. It is CHEAP, I almost can guarantee that you have all the ingredients at home AND it is easy to make! You can use them for bonfires, the grill, your fireplace etc. Plus, they are easy to pack as they are self-contained in an egg carton! Now thanks to Pintrest, WE CAN MAKE THAT! *Have a question or want to see a certain recipe? Email me at wecanmakethat1@gmail.com
Homemade Fire Starters
Lint from about 8 loads of laundry 1 empty egg carton An old candle you aren’t using anymore (non-glass contained) Glass jar First divide up that abundance of lint, fill all of the empty egg cups and set aside. Take a pot, fill it half full of water and bring to a slow simmer on med-low heat. Take your old candle and CAREFULLY take a serrated knife and cut away small portions of it. Place the portions of wax in a glass jar until about half full. Place the jar into the simmering water and stir with a spoon (don’t use a knife to try and break it up to make it go faster- I made this impatient mistake and ended up breaking a hole in the bottom of my jar, which led to a huge wax-water mess) Stir until all the wax is melted. Using oven gloves CAREFULLY take the jar out of the water and pour the melted wax over the individual egg portions until the lint is saturated. This does not need to be perfect, just enough wax to keep the lint in place. Now let cool until the wax is hardened. You just made fire starters! When you need one, just tear off a cup and light the carton portion. Put a lid on the wax jar and keep it for when you need to make another batch- less clean up that way!

employee. When you’re the employer, however, profiling prospective employees is one the best ways to help determine whether to say ‘yea’ or ‘nay’ to a potential hire. The way you showcase yourself in the interview room is, no doubt, a huge portion of whether you’ll be considered for the job, but the way you showcase yourself online holds significant weight as well. There’s no doubt that controversy exists over whether employers should be able to access and analyze your Facebook account, but whether you give them your login credentials or not, they can

still look you up. Findings after a University of North Carolina study showed that employers often look at applicants Facebook profiles searching for evidence of drug and alcohol use or signs that an individual is not responsible or self-disciplined. Not to stereotype, but heavy drinkers or drug addicts probably aren’t the large target audience to read this column. The reason for this week’s column is to bring awareness to the fact that when posting to your personal social media accounts, it’s important to use good judgment. Being especially attentive to make sure you don’t post something that could easily be mistaken or misjudged. Nothing is private anymore, unless of course you don’t have any link to social media. This group is a very small percentage of people. The bottom line here is social media users – beware of social media profiling because it happens more often than you think. Take a moment and think before you post; employers – I probably just took a little bit of fun out of the candidate screening process by making it more of an even playing field.

Healthier Home The new shelter offers numerous advantages over the prior location. It was designed specifically for animals and sits on nearly two acres of land, providing larger areas for exercise, and room to expand if the need arises. “We have a waiting list for people to bring in animals,” Johnson says. While the old facility only had room for 80 animals, the new space will accommodate 125. It also offers expanded indoor play areas – a special attraction for the kittens – most of whom were bottle-fed and spontaneously bond with visitors – who now spend most of their days cavorting and

wrestling each other across the polished concrete floor. “They just took to it right away,” Johnson says of the animals’ adjustment to their new surroundings. “They are all happy.” The environment offers topof-the-line sanitation, including an HVAC system. “It will make a healthier environment for the animals,” Johnson says. New animals arriving at the shelter enter through an isolated area for greater ease and adjustment to the surroundings. And all of the animals are now in one building, whereas dogs and cats were in separate buildings at the previous location. Open House The public is invited to attend an Open House at Paws

and Claws’ new facility August 11 from 12:30 to 2 p.m. “Owning a pet improves your health,” Johnson says, citing recent research on the benefits of owning a companion animal. “Pets are stress-relievers. Pet owners are healthier and happier and live a longer life.” Paws and Claws is a no-kill shelter, so animals will stay there until they are adopted. Paws and Claws placed 736 animals into adoptive homes in 2012. Right now, the shelter has about 60 cats and 40 dogs living inside the facility. Golfing with a Goal Paws and Claws will hold its first golf tournament August 12 at Rochester Golf & Country Club. Funds received from the event will be used to care for
the animals. Call Paws and Claws at 507-288-7226 for more information. Additional events scheduled include a dog run and fun walk September 28. Donations The new shelter built by JT Egner Construction is funded through contributions. Paws and Claws plans to host several events to help pay for costs of operating the facility and paying its mortgage obligations. The organization’s New Shelter Mortgage Reduction Campaign hopes to raise $616,000. To date, the effort has raised about $152,000. Paws and Claws welcomes volunteers and donations of money or supplies. For more information, visit Paws and Claws Humane Society at 3224 19th Street Northwest, Roch-
ester (next to the Rochester Athletic Club), call 507-2887226, or see their website at http://www.pawsandclaws.org and click on “how to help.” It is wonderful to see caring community members making a difference in the lives of others.

they were the only dealer that bid that type of truck. Roadtrip Bar and Grill’s request to stay open until 2 a.m. was approved by the council. There have been no complaints or issues about the closing time so the council renewed the request after a brief discussion. The city will get bids for fixing a water pooling issue on the sidewalk along Main Street. The sidewalk has settled and water sits instead of flowing away causing water problems for a home in the area. The city is also looking into having the boulevard along Highway 10 hydroseeded to replace the weeds that have grown since road construction was completed. Hydroseeding maintains moisture and improves the seed germination rate for quicker growth and is less expensive than sod.

Farm families impact Minnesota’s economy and rural communities By Bev Durgan Bev Durgan is the dean of University of Minnesota Extension. ST. PAUL, Minn. — Agriculture keeps advancing, adapting new technology to meet the needs of an increasingly global economy. Challenges have intensified as well—a lengthy drought, heavy precipitation and uncertain farm policies, to mention a few. The University of Minnesota started the Farm Family of the Year program 33 years ago to recognize successful farm families for their impact on our economy and rural communities. This year, families from 76 Minnesota counties will be recognized for their contributions to agriculture, the economy and rural communities at an Aug. 8 ceremony at Farmfest, the state’s largest farm
gathering. I salute those selected as 2013 University of Minnesota farm families because they represent the ideals shared by all farm families. Minnesota farm families not only persist and endure, but they continually improve the way they manage the land and produce food for the world. Farm families keep pace with change and innovate, while juggling busy lives and unexpected challenges. Unquestionably, farm families care about the land. As stewards of the land, they know they need to maintain it for future generations, just as they know that their land produces food and energy that must serve a doubling population by 2050. Farmers contribute in ways that

Minnesota’s Wine Industry is Growing Up more,” Tuck said, noting the wine industry in Minnesota is almost entirely a rural enterprise. “To enjoy the growth they’ve had so far, they’ll need to continue to evolve their practices and marketability.” The wine industry is a dynamic force in Minnesota – one that barely existed before the advent of cold-hearty grapes. Beginning in the late 1990s, varieties such as the Frontenac, La Crescent and Marquette were introduced after years of cultivation and research at the University. Today, the University’s viticulture program is considered a national leader in wine grape research. Owners of 101 vineyards and 34 wineries in Minnesota responded to Tuck and Gartner’s survey. They reported that nearly half the grapes growing in Minnesota were planted after 2007; most of the new grapes are Marquette. Grapes plants require three to four years to mature before they’re ready for market.
It’s a distinctive addition to Minnesota commerce, one that contributed $59 million to the state’s economy in 2011 alone. The amount of grapes Minnesota grows is increasing, especially since 2006 and the introduction of the Marquette red variety to the landscape. But the state’s wine industry is no longer a novelty. It will begin facing the same sustainability challenges that occur when any product matures. Those are among the key conclusions in a 46-page report issued by researchers Brigid Tuck, economic impact analyst at University of Minnesota Extension, and William Gartner, professor of applied economics at the University. The study is the most exhaustive look at Minnesota’s wine industry since its inception. “Minnesota’s wine industry is showing signs of become more sophisticated. Vineyard and winery owners continue to understand their markets more and
lion generated by vineyards, $22.1 by wineries and $20.5 by wine tourists. Other Extension findings included: Minnesota wineries sold 540,000 bottles of 2011, with half pricing their wine at $11 to $15 per bottle . Sixty-eight percent of wineries operate a tasting room. Vineyard owners are becoming more sophisticated at sales, with increasing use of contracts instead of informal agreements. Their greatest concerns include focus on pests, insect and disease. In 2011, 3,250 part- and full-
Among grape growers, half indicated they plan to increase their vineyard’s acreage, either slightly (33 percent) or substantially (17 percent). On the production and sales side, almost 63 percent of Minnesota wine is purchased at wineries and their tasting rooms. Event-savvy marketing is crucial; nearly all responding wineries reported hosting live music, weddings, grape stomps and charity fund-raisers. Liquor store sales accounted for only 15.7 percent of sales. “This is very much a customer-comes-to-us scenario. They’ll need to look at other ways to make those sales,” said Tuck. “One thing we found is that they may benefit by greater collaboration in agri-tourism endeavors like the wine trails, which connect vineyards and wineries through various points in rural Minnesota.” Economic activity in the wine industry for 2011 was $16 mil-
time jobs were associated with vineyards and wineries. The industry continues to rely heavily on volunteer and family labor for work such as grape-picking, which may be difficult to sustain over the long term. “This is an industry that didn’t exist until relatively recently. And now it’s generating jobs and millions of dollars in revenue. That happened because of agricultural innovation at the University and our ability to share that research results with the state,” said Matt Kane, community economics program leader at Extension.

Pierson To Run for State House By Karen Reisner Nels Pierson announced on July 25 at Textile Care Services, southeast Rochester, Minn., his candidacy for District 26B representative. The seat is currently held by Mike Benson (R) who announced in June that he will challenge U.S. Congressman Tim Walz (D) for the First District congressional seat in the 2014 midterm elections. Pierson, 40, has a history supporting the election of Repub-
licans. More than a decade ago he served as the Olmsted County chairman for the GOP. He has also managed campaigns for GOP candidates. Pierson is a realtor with Edina Realty and a real estate developer in the Rochester area. He earned a BA from Gustavus Adolphus College in 1995 and a law degree from Hamline University School of Law in 2012. He and his wife Nicole have two children, Sonja and
Nels IV. District 26B includes 14 Olmsted County townships surrounding Rochester on the east and south. Cities located within the district are the southern most portion of Rochester, Eyota, Minn., Dover, Minn., Stewartville, Minn., and the northern portion of Chatfield, Minn. Via a telephone interview, Pierson indicated he chose to announce his candidacy at Tex-
OLMSTED COUNTY JOURNAL
tile Care Services to highlight why he is running. The business employs 200 people. Pierson is pro business and sees a favorable climate for business as a way to prosperity and believes thriving businesses are able to produce more job opportunities. Pierson criticized the direction taken by the last legislative session, saying it was the wrong way to go. He says we need to “reform spending.” He maintained there was a 10 percent increase in spending in the last legislative cycle during
Page 13
a time when there was only two percent economic growth. He wants to see true reform in how the government spends money to reduce government waste. Pierson insists the DFL controlled legislature increased the cost of doing business through increased taxes leveled at businesses during this last legislative session. He wants to make Minnesota more attractive for small businesses. Pierson believes increased business taxes limit prospects for job creation and the prosperity of the region.
