RED BARN

Rochester is a unique city with a welcoming Midwest flavor, a small-town feel and an evergrowing sophistication.

Nestled in the Zumbro River Valley, Rochester was discovered in 1854 by a government surveying party from Winona. Population at the time was 1,500 (30 times the original 50 settlers after an advertising campaign succeeded in extolling the land’s virtues).

Rochester has been expanding and developing ever since, boasting a world-class medical center, expanding job market, cutting edge technology, excellent schools and a livable, safe environment.

Money Magazine frequently votes Rochester “Best Place to Live in the U.S.” Since the first votes in the 1990’s, the city has grown 33 percent from a population of 86,000 to 114,011 plus (2016 U.S Census Bureau). The city is also considered a “Best Small City For Working Women.” Unemployment is low and salaries are higher than average, with women making 90 percent of men’s salaries.

RECESSION RESISTANT

As things change, some things stay the same, and it’s all good for Rochester. In 1961, Sales Management magazine listed Rochester as one of its “markets on the move,” pointing out

that the city was moving forward while much of the country was in a recession.

Urban and economic theorist Richard Florida recently ranked Rochester among the top 20 metros with projected job growth in “creative class” jobs—health care, science, technology, law, education, the arts and media—through 2020 (The Atlantic).

Rochester’s quality of life and prosperous business climate make it a desirable place to live and work. Cost of living is 7 percent lower than the U.S. average. Its commute is the shortest—average 14 minutes—of the nation’s 300 largest cities.

There’s an excellent park system for walking, biking and outdoor family activities. “Historic Bluff Country” to the south, the Mississippi River to the east, rolling farmlands to the west, and the Twin Cities to the north border Rochester and neighboring communities.

MAYO CLINIC, IBM

A devastating tornado struck Rochester in 1883. William Worrall Mayo, the country doctor, sought help from the Sisters of St. Francis to care for over 100 injured patients.

When the crisis passed, Mother Alfred Moes offered to raise money to build a hospital if Dr. Mayo and his sons, Will and Charlie, would serve as surgeons.

Today, Mayo Clinic is the largest not-forprofit medical center in the world. The Clinic employs nearly 34,600 people at its

By Katherine Shine

City on the Move Rochester campus. Approximately 2,400 are physicians and scientists.

The opening of Mayo’s Gonda Building in 2001 created the largest interconnected medical facility in the world. Opened in 2015, a $188 million, 100,000-square-foot proton beam therapy center offers innovative cancer treatments.

IBM, like Mayo Clinic, is an “anchor” company in Rochester. “Big Blue” broke ground in 1956. Employees number around 2,790 (2013), two times more than the number of employees in the 1950s. The main campus has grown to 3.1 million square feet, more than half the size of the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.

Other major employers include Charter Communications, City of Rochester, Federal Medical Center, Kahler Hotels, McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Olmsted County, Olmsted Medical Center, and Seneca Foods.

INNOVATION, GROWTH, INVESTMENT

Destination Medical Center (DMC) is the biggest and boldest expansion plan in Rochester’s 164-year history. With the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in the city’s backyard, DMC is a $5.6 billion economic development initia-

tive promoting Rochester as a premier global destination for health and wellness over the next 20 years.

Three million people a year visit Rochester, primarily for Mayo Clinic. The goal of DMC is to double the number of visitors to 6 to 7 million.

Downtown development has been a topic of conversation since the famous Chateau Theater opened its doors in 1927. DMC plans include additional downtown Mayo facilities, office space, biotech and pharmaceutical firms. Housing, restaurants, hotels, and retail establishments will be needed to accommodate visitors and the employees required to fill over 30,000 new jobs.

DMC, according to plan, will have a positive affect not only Rochester, but also Olmsted County and the state of Minnesota. In addition to the $585 million in state money, Mayo Clinic, private investors and the City of Rochester will invest nearly $6 billion.

With changes on its horizon, Rochester must continue fine-tuning its goals to meet the inevitable challenges ahead: aging and retiring Baby Boomers, diversity, affordable housing for students and job seekers, transportation, crime and population increases.

If history is an indicator, Rochester’s growth will continue on a positive, upward trend.

MAGICAL

SILVER LAKE When Rochester was named one of the best places to live by Money Magazine in the 90s, apparently humans weren’t the only ones listening. Rochester is home to one of the largest geese populations in North America.

While many visitors and residents are still discovering the outstanding liveability of Rochester, these giant Canada Geese have known about it for quite some time.

In the early 1900s, hunting and a loss of habitat virtually eliminated the Canada Goose population. Until 1950, the species was believed to be extinct. In 1962, a small flock was found enjoying Minnesota winters at beautiful Silver Lake Park.

These geese, donated by a Mayo Clinic patient, lured some of the few

remaining Rochester.

Improved game laws and habitat restoration have brought the species back to life. Evidently, word travels fast through the goose grapevine. Today, Rochester’s goose population numbers 30,000 to 35,000 during the peak of fall migration. Many decide to settle in for the winter after discovering

Host to Rochester’s Annual Visitors part of the Rochester community and they have been featured in many publications. Gary Blum, a Rochester resident, has earned international recognition for his “goose poop artwork.”

While these year-round residents are generally well-respected neighbors, there are unique challenges to hosting thousands of feathered friends.

Due to concerns of overpopulation, the Silver Lake Buffer Project is installing 30 -foot -wide vegetative buffers of native grasses and plants in an attempt to clean up the water.

Once the five-year projectis complete, the buffers will act as filters to reduce the amount of pollution that reaches the lake.

Residents and visitors will continue to enjoy Silver Lake during the installation. The lake is not only a sanctuary for Canada Geese, but also offers trails for biking and walking, fishing piers, paddle boats, and canoes. that the ice-free water remains open and warm, thanks to the local Silver Lake Power Plant.

The Branta canadensis maxima (translation: Giant Canada Geese) are big. With a wingspan of up to 6 feet and weight of up to 14 pounds, the geese are a sight to behold. The males and females have different “honks” and the females are typically lighter in color.

Visiting and feeding the geese at Silver Lake has become a beloved tradition for many residents and visitors. The special flock has become an integral

Though visitors will be discouraged from feeding the geese in the future they remain one of Rochester’s prized attractions. The magnificent creatures add a touch of magic to an evening walk around the lake. As Rochester continues to be well-known to many national and international visitors for Mayo Clinic, IBM, and a host of hightech businesses, the geese at Silver Lake will continue to set the scene off the beaten path.

Images and stories will be presented in contrast to assumptions about a person living with a particular genetic condition. The lecture focuses on the hope and real lives of individuals and their families with, or at risk for a genetic disorder, and the importance of seeing and understanding the human side of genetics in medical education and healthcare today.

INDIVIDUALIZED MEDICINE IN THE PRENATAL SETTING AUGUST 8 | 6:30 – 8:00 PM New genetic testing technologies are helping physicians better evaluate’ and understand patients’ reproductive and pregnancy risks.

Expanded carrier screening is a test which evaluates prospective couples for their risk of having a child affected with an autosomal recessive disorder. In order for a child to have a recessive disorder, both parents must be carriers of the disorder. Carriers are asymptomatic, and are often not aware of their carrier status. In the past, couples were screened for a very limited number of disorders based on their family history or ethnicity. Recent improvements in genetic testing technologies now allow for comprehensive screening for over 100 disorders with a single test.

Approximately 5% of couples who undergo expanded carrier screening are found to be carriers for the same disorder, and at risk for having an affected child.

This information can be used for pregnancy planning and care of an infant affected with a recessive genetic disorder.

A second genetic testing technology used prior to pregnancy is referred to as preimplantation genetic testing or PGT. This technology allows patients who are undergoing in vitro fertilization to test embryos for genetic disorders prior to transfer back to the mother’s uterus. While this may sound like science fiction, it is used relatively routinely in reproductive endocrinology clinics across the world. This technology can help to prevent transmission of a genetic disorder to the next generation.

Another new technology used during pregnancy is referred to as cell-free DNA or non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS). This test utilizes placental DNA found in the mother’s blood to screen the pregnancy for risk of common chromosome problems such as Down syndrome. Cell-free DNA screening, which is available at 10-weeks gestational age, can also determine the infant’s sex. The cell-free DNA test has a higher detection rate and fewer false positives than traditional screening tests. Information from this test can be used for pregnancy planning.

Sometimes an ultrasound during pregnancy reveals problems. In cases where a more definitive diagnosis cannot be made with traditional genetic testing, whole exome sequencing, another new and exciting genetic testing technology, may be the best next step. Whole exome sequencing evaluates the fetus’s condition and provides a diagnosis in 30% of challenging cases.

This talk will introduce these technologies, and explain how the tests can be used for safe family planning and for the care of a baby who is found to have a genetic disorder during pregnancy.

DINING GUIDE

ROCHESTER EAGLES CLUB OPEN TO ALL: RELAXED ATMOSPHERE AND GREAT DINING

By Pat Garry

The Zumbro Aerie 2228 Rochester Eagles Club was founded circa 80 years ago, and though the national Eagles’ motto is People Helping People, at this club, an appropriate addendum could read People Feeding People!

Members have fashioned a beautiful venue that is comfortable and welcoming to everyone. The ambiance mirrors a neighborhood family restaurant that greets new visitors with a smile.

The revamped dining area offers a full cocktail bar, a comprehensive menu and views of the manicured property and extra-large patio. The Eagles Club boasts affordable but exquisite pub fare in a large, attractive dining room outfitted with cozy decor and tables with comfy chairs.

On my recent luncheon visit, I chose to build a burger. I had no complaints about the drippy, delicious multi-napkin double-patty cheeseburger that I consumed. A sturdy bun held a pair of juicy beef patties that looked as if they had made perfect contact with the grill. Leaf lettuce, tomatoes and a generous helping of onions were piled on top. Cheddar cheese and bacon spilled down the patties onto the bottom bun; and all of that was accompanied by delicious, warm and crunchy French fries.

Dining facilities are open to the public, and daily operations are directed by general manager Kevin Hanson.

Our American casual menu is sure to suit even the most specific appetite. The relaxed atmosphere on our patio or in the bar area are great places to gather for the big game or just to enjoy our daily happy hour.

NIGHTLY SPECIALS Enjoy evening deals:

MONDAY Taco Night

TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY All-You-Can- Chicken Dinner Burger Night Eat Wings

FRIDAY Fish Fry

SATURDAY Steak Night

The renowned Eagles Club Friday fish fry is second to none. Too, the homemade clam chowder soup is served all day on Fridays.

Fresh homemade soups and $6.95 lunch specials, along with BBQ ribs every Thursday for lunch, are a must-taste for Rochester residents and visitors. -Chris Larson, kitchen manager.

MENU DETAILS The menu is designed to provide something for everyone.

Appetizers include chicken strips, fish fingers, cheese curds, onion rings, boneless wings, quesadillas, fries, tater tots, beef nachos and bread sticks.

Fresh garden fare includes chicken salads, beef taco salads, chef salads, and Cobb salads. When it comes to wraps, they offer chicken, bacon, ranch, buffalo chicken, Philly steak, turkey bacon, Ruben/Rachel, and fish. The endless sandwich board includes grilled cheese, ham or turkey, BLT, French dip, fish, club, Cuban, pork tenderloin and patty melt.

The “build your own” corner includes a chicken breast sandwich or fresh hamburger. Finish the build with a plethora of favorites: bacon, cheese, peppers, lettuce, mushrooms, jalapenos, pickles or a fried egg.

THINGS TO DO

Enjoy the 80-plus seating deck area, take a table inside, or simply belly up to the bar (affectionately known as the “Nest”) in the main lobby area.

The Jeff Hanson Memorial Car Show rolls in to the Eagles parking lot every Wednesday through September 26. It’s accompanied by plenty of door prizes, and food/drink specials served on the patio.

Play Bingo on Wednesday nights (7 p.m.) and the first and third Saturdays of the month (1 p.m.).

Bike Night is August 16 and September 20 (6 to 9 p.m.) with giveaways, music, food, and vendors.

Enjoy the pool tables and watch your favorite team on one of the 12 TVs throughout the premises.

Whether you are accompanied by old friends or seeking new ones, the Nest is your destination for great food, entertainment and lots of fun.

“The Eagles Club welcomes your group and special event to be held here weekly, monthly, annually, or just for a one-time occasion,” events coordinator Megan Harms said.

Be sure to put dining at the Eagles Club on your agenda. The staff is always friendly and the food is always top quality. I give the Rochester Eagles Club 5 big stars.

OXBOW PARK, ZOLLMAN ZOO

Spend a day or night in the natural world - By Pat Garry If you love animals, have children, or just enjoy the great outdoors, then there’s really no excuse to not visit Oxbow Park and Zollman Zoo. The zoo is anchored in the middle of the 600-acre park, and it showcases circa 40 different Minnesota-native species, including all animal classes: fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals.

Hiking, camping, picnics and a zoo Oxbow Park/Zollman Zoo is located on the south branch of the Zumbro River, three miles north of Byron. That creates a perfect landscape for viewing wildlife in the park at four picnic areas and along eight miles of hiking trails that wind through the woods and prairies.

about the natural world.

“The park is fortunate to have the non-profit organization, Friends of Oxbow, to raise funds that allow the park and zoo to expand and enable us to build bigger, better zoo habitats,” said Clarissa Schrooten, naturalist.

The park also features a campground, a youth-group campground, and the Path of Imagination—a two-acre natural playscape.

Park staff schedules weekend educational programs for the public to drop in and learn

www.co.olmsted.mn.us/pw/parks/oxbowpark

Otters and Bears and Raptors, oh my!

At the popular otter exhibit, visitors can watch them slide down the waterfall in to the pool.

Of course, the animals are the main stars at the zoo. Home to more than 70 animal residents, the spacious complex has something for everyone to enjoy.

The otter exhibit is a huge attraction. Observers watch in earnest to see the otters show off their graceful maneuvers as they swim in a close-up, viewable pool.

Folks can watch the otters slide down the waterfall and into the pond just below.

The large animals are also a big deal. “Everyone enjoys watching the black bear behave naturally, while she forages around her exhibit at feeding time, scouring the exhibit for hidden fruits and vegetables,” said Schrooten.

The birds of prey exhibit offers eight species of raptors, all native to Minnesota, including the nation’s symbol—the bald eagle.

The timber wolves steal the attention when they start howling, and the bison, deer and elk can also be viewed outside of regular zoo hours.

Plan a visit Oxbow Park and Zollman Zoo offer almost any outdoor enthusiast a chance to pursue his or her favorite activity: hiking, camping, fishing and picnics. One of the picnic areas also has playground equipment, and a ball field for public use. Oxbow campgrounds have campsites available, with running water, restrooms and showers.

“It’s very exciting to see people of all ages who are anxious to learn, and it is reassuring to hear their comments on how all of us can improve our behaviors to protect our environment and its entire living species,” Schrooten said.

Bison, deer and elk can be viewed outside of regular zoo hours.

Come and be part of the nearly 50,000 visitors who visit the grounds annually. It’s your unique opportunity to pack a lunch, soak-up the sunrays, and talk to the animals, all in a beautiful, rural setting.

Owned by Miranda and Scott Gray-Burlingame and Kathy and Ron Gray, this toy store was voted the best in Minnesota and one of the top 10 toy stores in the world. It offers toys that stimulate imaginations and leave room for kids to create from their minds and hearts.

Those toys include wooden pull and push toys (made in the LARK workshop), basic wooden blocks, LEGOS, puppets, cooperative board games, and timeless jigsaw puzzles. Too, LARK features active toys such as kites, balls, Ninja lines, and unique reading selections in the large bookstore.

Teens and adults can also enjoy the Curiosity Shoppe, filled with "grown-up" merchandise, including retro, enamel pop culture pins, phone accessories, greeting cards, three lines of clothing, artistic purses, weather vanes and more.

The good folks at LARK make their own fudge in-house and boast an amazing antique toy museum. The solid wood hand-carved LARK Carousel is a work of art that people of all ages can view and ride, and the 18-hole mini golf course with waterfalls and a play-through cave is fun for all.

The venue offers a cafe with snacks and sandwiches. "Our intention is to provide a welcoming place for people to relax, refresh, and play for a while," said Kathy Gray. We have so much fun sharing the joy of LARK with all of our customers from near and far."

Long on history and rich in heritage: Bald Eagles, Native America, Hollywood and More!

Wabasha is the oldest city on the entire upper Mississippi River and has been occupied continuously since 1826. U.S. Government records and “The 2nd Treaty of Prairie du Chien” (1830) conclusively establish Wabasha to be the oldest town in Minnesota, established 1830. The city is named in honor of an Indian Chief of the Sioux Nation, Chief Wa-pa-shaw.

Wabasha’s historic district has more than 50 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Take our historic walking tour and discover the stories that have made this town so unique.

Eagles are of abundance during the winter months, and they nest here year round.

The National Eagle Center in downtown Wabasha houses live bald eagles and is open for programs and special groups. Visitors come from all over the world for a unique “Nose to Beak” experience with America’s National Symbol of Freedom – the Bald Eagle.

America became enamored with Wabasha as a result of the very popular movies “Grumpy Old Men” and “Grumpier Old Men,” starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, written by a young man whose grandfather lived here and thought our historic river town was perfect for the story of the two retired widowers, Max and John, competing for the affections of Ariel (Ann-Margret). Wabasha celebrates the “Grumpy Old Men Festival” on the last Saturday of February each year, and visitors enjoy dining at Slippery’s Bar & Grill all year long.

Once you visit Wabasha, you’ll want to return for a day, a week, or a lifetime.
