By Marilyn AndersonZUMBROTA Following a

year-long renovation project thatextended from one end of Zum-brota Ford to the other, owner SteveJohnson is looking forward to cel-ebrating. Arrangements are beingcompleted for a three-day grandre-opening celebration Thursdaythrough Saturday, July 31-August2. Zumbrota Ford is located at theintersection of Highways 52 and58 at 1600 Main Street in Zum-brota.

Johnson said,Come see whatwe have done and celebrate withus. Hot dogs, pop and ice creamwill be available throughout theevent with additional catered foodavailable 4-7 p.m. on July 31.Guests will receive gifts, with spe-cial gifts for customers purchas-ing vehicles. Several door prizeswill be awarded including a golf-ing vacation package to theBrainerd lakes area, a grill, andtickets to Vikings and Gopher foot-ball games.Really a new building

Johnson said with only two ofthe original four walls of the build-ing remaining and the roof replaced,the end result is really a new build-ing in what has been the biggestproject of his business career.

Johnson said the lengthy projectwas kind of like a marathon. Hepraised everyone involved in theproject both the workers doingthe construction and the ZumbrotaFord employees. The business re-mained open and served custom-ers throughout the process, withthe exception of one day when theservice department was shut down.Johnson compared the effort asbeing similar to overhauling acar engine, but while you are go-ing down the road. He added thatwhile there was inconvenience,the end result was worth it. Itwas time to either build for thefuture or fall behind, he said.People have thanked Johnson for

Zumbrota Ford to celebrate grand re-opening

Kristin Johnson and Steve Johnson are looking forward to the upcoming grand re-opening celebration ofZumbrota Ford scheduled for July 31 through August 2. A complete renovation of the facility, including thereception area, has recently been completed.

Quick Lane technician Garrett Baack gets ready to change an air filter on a F-150 Ford pick-up in the QuickLane Tire & Auto Services area at Zumbrota Ford. The new service area opened last winter.

investing in the community. Therewill be a Ford dealership in townfor years to come, Johnson said.

The project progressed from westto east with the service depart-ment and the new Quick Lane Tire& Auto Services completed overthe winter. Johnson said custom-ers, especially commuters, appre-ciate the extended hours offered(7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and 7a.m. - 3 p.m. on Saturday).

While the parts area had littlechange in square footage, it gainednearly 50 percent more availablespace as it is now better organized.File cabinets and other items thathad been in the area are now inappropriate areas.

The lounge and welcome/recep-tion areas have been completelyrenovated. The lounge offers acomfortable area for customers towait while work is being done ontheir vehicles with coffee, bottledwater, popcorn and free Wi-Fiavailable. The light maple colorof the cupboards and tables matchthe chairs and desks in the wel-come and reception area. Johnsonpointed out that the previous dropceiling in the reception area hadbeen raised. That change, alongwith the soft gray polished ceramicfloor tile add to a brighter areathan it was. The space was alsoenlarged making for no moremusical desks. The addition of au-shape reception desk will becompleted after the grand re-open-ing.

The number of employees hasincreased over the past year. Zum-brota Ford now has thirty-six full-time and eight part-time employ-ees. Long-time employee, JerryHinrichs, began work at Bob SeelyFord in October, 1961 and cur-rently works part-time at Zum-brota Ford. See separate story aboutHinrichs and some of the otherchanges that have occurred overthe years.

Fifteen years of Zumbrota FordRobert Seely purchased Zum-

brota Motors, located at 448 MainStreet, on October 1, 1954. Thebusiness moved to its current lo-cation at 1660 Main Street in 1967.Perry Weeks, a longtime employeeat Bob Seely Ford, purchased thebusiness on May 1, 1980, and re-tained the business name duringhis 19 years of ownership. SteveJohnson bought Bob Seely Fordin April 1999, and it became Zum-brota Ford.

Johnson started his businesscareer at the age of 18 as a sales-man at the Ford dealership in St.Charles following high schoolgraduation. The owner of the busi-ness was a friend of Bob Seely.After seven years, Johnson movedto Winona to begin work at theFord dealership there. During his11 years in Winona, Johnson mar-ried, started raising his family, andworked his way up to generalmanager. From Winona, theJohnsons moved to Farmington,where Steve was co-owner of theFord dealership, a business thatthey later moved to Lakeville.

But Johnson decided to cometo Zumbrota. He said, I knew itcould be exactly like St. Charles.I was convinced I could duplicatethe same thing here. He has metsome of the children and grand-children of some customers he hadwhen he started out in St. Charles.

Johnsons daughter, KristinJohnson, joined Zumbrota Fordalmost four years ago and is thesales manager. She worked withthe Walser organization (auto-motive dealerships) in the TwinCities for nine years. Future plansare for Kristin to some day takeover the business.

Zumbrota Ford maintains aninventory of approximately 300new and used vehicles on its 3-1/2 acre site. For additional infor-mation, including sales and ser-vice hours see http://www.zumbrotaford.com/

Serving the Highway 52 Golden Corridor from Hader to Oronoco

Chinmay Ballamwar of India, Theodor Amariucai of Romania, and Bayasgalan Ulambayar of Mongolia, allhosted by Mike and Nadeen Lunde, enjoy the taste of their first smores at an outing at the Kay and Ray Frickhouse on July 9. The boys also had brats and played four-square with the Frick family.

By Audra DePestelPINE ISLAND Pine Island

Lions Club members Mike andNadeen Lunde have once againopened their home to three youthswho are part of the Lions Interna-tional Youth Exchange Program.This is their fifth year as a hostfamily. Since their arrival on July1, Chinmay Ballamwar of Mumbai,India, Theodor Amariucai ofBucharest, Romania, andBayasgalan Ulambayar ofUlaanbaatar, Mongolia, all 15-year-olds, have been experienc-ing American culture. This is thefirst visit to the United States foreach of the boys who will be herethrough the end of the month.

The Lions International Youth

Exchange Program was establishedin 1961 to give youth (ages 15-21) an opportunity to travel toexciting international destinationsfor up to six weeks. An exchangeprogram can be arranged in hun-dreds of countries and geographiclocations where there are Lionsclubs.

Each year, the program intro-duces young people to life in othercultures by helping them travelabroad. The aim of the program isto create and foster a spirit ofunderstanding among the peoples

of the world. The youths experi-ence firsthand a new culture,lifestyle and customs. Unlike someexchange programs, the Lions pro-gram does not involve tourism,academic studies, or employment.

Ballamwar, who loves math,playing soccer, and listening todance music, has no siblings sobeing with the other boys giveshim a chance to know what itslike to share and do things likebrothers would do. He has alsoenjoyed American food (his fa-vorite is bacon). Ballamwar is look-

ing forward to trying apple pieand going to watch a baseball gamein the Twin Cities. He would liketo someday visit New York.

Amariucai also love soccer andmath. And he has one youngerbrother. He said one thing he wasreally looking forward to tryingwas pancakes, which he found tobe very good. Amariucai alsowanted to go to a Taco Bell afterseeing the TV show Breaking Bad.He said the tacos were small com-pared to what he thought theywould be, but were very good,

Lundes are hosting three exchange studentstoo. He hopes to someday see LakeSuperior and go to Chicago.

Ulambayar has one youngerbrother and likes chemistry. Heloves to play basketball and com-puter games. Ulambayar was look-ing forward to trying a hot dogwhich he said was good.

Other opportunities the boysexperienced included feeding cowsat a local farm and visiting otherhobby farms were they saw goats,horses, a bunny, ducks, chickensand a few other animals. They alsowatched fireworks in Rochesterat Silver Lake on July 4, visitedthe Mayo Clinic, and tried the foodsavailable at the Thursdays on firstevent including cheese curds, lefse,krumkake and rosettes.

The boys will participate in aweek-long camp from July 19-27that brings together other youngexchange participates from aroundthe world. The event will includea visit to Bethany College inMankato; Valley Fair AmusementPark; playing laser tag, mini golf,and bowling; doing a ropes course;touring the State Capital and SaintPaul Cathedral; going toChanhassen Dinner Theater; tour-ing the Minnesota Lions Eye Bank;visiting the Mall of America;watching a Saints baseball game;experiencing the Feed My Starv-ing Children volunteer program;playing a group softball game; andvisiting St. Cloud State Univer-sity. The camp will end with aninternational banquet held at StMarys Cathedral Parish Centerin St. Cloud where the youth pre-pare food from recipes from their

own countries and share informa-tion and pictures about their homes.

Being a host family to a youngperson through the Lions YouthExchange program is a learningexperience for the host family andthe visiting youth. Nadeen, whois the Youth Exchange Chair forthe Pine Island Lions Club, saidthat is what they like about theprogram. The Lundes, who havetwo grown sons and one grand-son, enjoy sharing their time, dem-onstrating local customs, and learn-ing about other cultures. Its veryinteresting, you just never knowwhat to expect, Nadeen said. Sheadded that the youth typically knowhow to speak and read Englishpretty well. Translations can some-times be a little tricky, but theywork together and figure it out.

In the past five years the Lundeshave hosted two youths from Den-mark, one from Finland, two fromGermany, three from Brazil, onefrom Italy, one from China, onefrom Sweden, two from Mongolia,one from Romania, and one fromIndia. The Lundes said that beinga host family is a great opportu-nity to help make these youngadults goals a reality by sharingtheir homes and lives with a visi-tor from another country for fourto six weeks. A host family doesnot need to be a Lion to partici-pate.

The enemy within...the White House

How would you describe a presi-dent who scrapped missile defenseplans for Eastern Europe in orderto appease Vladimir Putin? Na-ive, perhaps?

How would you describe a presi-dent who withdrew support forlongtime Egyptian ally HosniMubarak in order to throw his sup-port to the Muslim Brotherhoodand the so-called Arab Spring,which proved to be the MideastCalamity? Was he ignorant?

How would you describe a presi-dent who actually believed thatIrans nuclear intentions were onlypeaceful? This is a country whohas promised to wipe Israel fromthe face of the earth. Is he inexpe-rienced?

How would you describe a presi-dent who is bent on trashing thebest health care system in the worldin favor of one that puts our healthand our lives in the hands of bu-reaucrats? Is this arrogance?

How would you characterizeencouraging tens of thousands ofCentral Americans to storm ourborders and declare themselvesrefugees? Stupidity, maybe?

Or how about trading five of

the most dangerous war criminalsin Gitmo for one likely Americandeserter? Or how about labelingMajor Nidal Hasans mass mur-der of thirteen American soldiers(while screaming Allah Akhbar)workplace violence instead ofterrorism?

The list goes on and on. IsraeliPresident Netanyahu was snubbedat the White House, but Saudi KingAbdullah was bowed to by Obama.The Syrian red line for chemi-cal weapons was abrogated withno consequence. The military bud-get was gutted to the point wherewe will soon have the smallestArmy and Navy since before WorldWar II.

Naive, ignorant, inexperienced,arrogant, stupid? These all seeminadequate to describe this presi-dent. This is supposed to be themost intelligent man in the room regardless of the room. Hes abetter speech writer than his speechwriter. Hes a better political strat-egist than his political strategists and this is all by his own assess-ment, so it must be true. Butwouldnt a smart man hire intelli-gent, experienced, savvy subor-dinates who could provide himwith valuable advice, and wouldntan intelligent president considerthat advice? And wouldnt thatadvice be such that the countryand the world would be movingtoward a more stable state insteadof a less stable one? Or maybe itis, and we just dont know it. Af-

ter all, according to CNSNews,White House press secretary JoshEarnest said [on] Monday [July14, 1014,] the Obamaadministrations foreign policiesin a number of areas have enhancedthe worlds tranquility.... AndSenate Majority Leader Harry Reiddeclared the following day thatThe border is secure.

No, we are not living Alice inWonderland, and the world is notexperiencing enhanced tranquil-ity, and the border is not secure.America is being transformed, justlike Obama promised. What hedid not promise, but should have,is that the world is also being trans-formed due to his policies and ide-ology. Its not due to inexperi-ence, ignorance, naivet, or anyweak characteristic. Its by design.My longtime friend and mentor,Jack Rudd, said it best in charac-terizing a recent New York Timesarticle http://www.nytimes. com/2014/06/16/us/politics/historians-critique-of-obama-foreign-policy-is-brought-alive-by-events-in-iraq.html?_r=1 :

Some academics persist in at-tributing Obamas foreign policyto extraordinary ignorance. Theysimply cant believe what Obamahas demonstrated over and overagain, that he is an enemy of theUnited States. Perhaps they willfind their courage to admit it afterObama has completed his devas-tation and left office.

God bless America!

FromDevilsKitchenBy Jan David Fisher

When will we learn? part three

According to the US Constit-ution, the president must be na-tive born and at least 35 years old.I am not going to argue about Presi-dent Obamas birth. Instead letslook at the age requirement. Whenthis country was founded underthe Constitution, we were still agrowing nation. We had not crossedthe Mississippi River except aroundNew Orleans which really be-longed to the French. The westernhalf of the eastern half of the countrywas still wild, and Native Ameri-cans lived in most of that terri-tory. If you lived to 35, you weredoing good and quite lucky. Yourknowledge base was probablycomplete for the times.

Today, the average male life

expectancy is above 78 and awomans is higher! For us, ourlife is just starting, not ending at35. In 1780, the normal educationwas eighth grade. To stay in schooland complete high school wasequivalent to a college BA or BSdegree. To go to college was rare.Most Americans could not affordto have their children stay in school.The needs of the family were toohigh. As the nation grew, we grewricher and healthier, and livedlonger.

Since 1952, we have had a fewyoung presidents. They wereelected because of their charm andcharisma. John Kennedy had abetter grasp of history, but itcouldnt save him from the assas-sin. Many of his decisions in ret-rospect were made based on hisimmaturity. Mr. Obama has littlegrasp of history and appears notto understand either the Constitu-tion or the federal government.He definitely does not understandthe multi-party political system.

Our government is divided intothree distinct parts. Each part hasits set of functions to perform. Someof the functions provide checksand balances for the other parts.When these checks and balanceswork, the government works justfine. When politics and politicalparties actively prevent the gov-ernment from taking action, is whenwe start to have problems.

Some of our politicians haveworked hard at compromise to getthe parties to work together. Wehave a president who claims he iswilling to work together, but com-promise does not seem to be aword in his vocabulary. He doesntunderstand why they dont under-stand and agree with him. His onlyexplanation is that they are Re-publicans and they hate him. Hedoesnt realize that one cannotinsult the other side in one sen-tence and ask for their help in thenext. Disagreeing and hating aretwo different activities. Disagree-ing with someone does not meanyou hate them.

Charisma and charm are oftenmistaken for intelligence and ex-perience. Mr. Obama is an edu-cated person but that doesnt meanhe is worldly in his knowledge.He has neither the experience northe intelligence of a good, muchless great president. Until nextweek.

Chemical sprayingTo the Editor:

I am writing this with concernabout why my township wouldhave someone spray a chemicalthat killed trees and bushes in andalong ditches on township roads.Many of these trees or bushes wereat least 12 to 15 feet from the road.I am not talking about trees andbushes that are blocking ones viewor interfering with traffic in anyway.

The spray was used to kill li-lacs, Queen Ann bushes, smallmaples, and wild apple trees. Therewhere birds and other wildlife liv-ing in and among these trees and

bushes. One particular set of bushesin the ditch by my house had anest of hatchlings from a Redwingblackbird; they are no more.

I also question what this chemi-cal does to the environment itself,ground water, and runoff? Finally,how much does killing trees,bushes, and wildlife with thischemical cost us, the townshiptaxpayers? I am not a tree hugger,but why is there a need for whatseems to be a foolish deadly pro-cess?

Stephen J. RosenthalRoscoe Township

Helped by young manTo the Editor:

After the parade at MazeppaDaze, I walked across the street tovisit old friends and left my pursesitting on the boulevard. When Icame back and proceeded to loadthe car with chairs, etc. I noticedmy purse was gone. Instant panic!

A young man noticed my dis-tress and came to tell me We foundyour purse and his mom verifiedthat. They turned it in to the policeand pointed out which officer.

When we offered him a rewardhe said, Oh, no, I dont need anymoney. Im a Boy Scout. Onlywhen we suggested he give it tohis group would he accept it.

In all the excitement I neglectedto ask his name. So, young man, ifyou or your mom is reading this,accept my gratitude once again.Your parents and Boy Scout leadercan be very proud of you.

A K-9 demonstration was given at the Pine Island American Legion on July 15. Left: Deputy Jim Goham andhis K-9 partner Havoc greet three-year-old Camryn Plumbo of Oronoco. Right: Havoc waits patiently for hiscue from his handler Deputy Goham (not pictured) to grasp the bite sleeve worn by Deputy Dan Englund.

By Audra DePestelPINE ISLAND Goodhue

County K9 Deputy Jim Gohamand his partner Havoc held a dem-onstration on July 15 at the Ameri-can Legion for Van Horn PublicLibrarys Tuesday @ 2 program.Goham talked about his work andHavocs training and responsibili-ties and provided a demonstrationwith assistance from Deputy DanEnglund.

One point Deputy Gohamwanted to get across was that K-9s are not ferocious:People seethese dogs on TV and they thinktheyre vicious, but thats simplynot the case. Havoc is extremelysocial its controlled aggres-sion. Havoc can live up to hisname and cause damage, but onlyunder Gohams command and invery specific situations.

A three-year-old German Shep-herd/Belgian Malinois mix, Havocis the second K-9 for DeputyGoham. His first partner, Titan,had to retire in 2011 due to healthissues, and at the beginning of thisyear had to be put down. Gohamsaid, Its hard but you cant gettoo attached to these dogs becausethey dont belong to you person-ally. They belong to the GoodhueCounty Sheriffs Office and thepublic. Im just lucky enough to

have them as a partner. K-9 han-dlers do have the option to keepthe dogs after they retire, but sinceDeputy Goham wanted to focuson just one K-9 to work with, hedecided not to keep Titan. But hewas glad that his parents were ableto care for the dog so he could stillbe in contact with him.

K-9s are not cheap. Havocs costwas about $7,500. However, a$5,000 donation from Nestle Purinain Hager City made the purchasemuch more affordable. The GCSOcurrently has three K-9s. They arethe same mixed breeds as Havocand are imported from the East-ern Europe. Other handlers areDeputy Matt Hoekstra with K-9Ransom and Deputy Matt Bowronwith K9 Ambush.

The K-9s have many skills thatmake them a valuable tool for lawenforcement. They use their height-ened sense of smell to detect thepath of fleeing criminals or miss-ing people. In searching, K-9s usea combination of the scent of theindividual and the scent that thedisturbed ground gives off whena person takes a step. The dogscan track across many surfacesincluding concrete, grass, sand,and gravel.

The K-9s are also trained todetect the odor of illegal narcot-ics. When a dog indicates that there

is the odor of narcotics, it giveslaw enforcement probable causeto search.

In the rare circumstance that afelon flees or a violent individualrefuses to surrender, Havoc istrained to physically apprehendthem and render them into sub-mission. The K-9s can enter a build-ing and find an intruder in a frac-tion of the time it would take po-lice officers.

The dogs are considered deputysheriffs and have their own equip-ment issued by the department.The handlers have special patrolcars for their canine companions.Tinted windows help minimize theheat and there is a temperaturealarm that lowers the windows andsounds a horn if the interior tem-perature gets too high. A specialcage is in the vehicle that has awater dish and a rubber mat and isergonomically designed for com-fort and safety. The patrol car alsohas additional lights to maximizevisibility.

After the demonstration the par-ticipants were invited to meetHavoc individually. Goham, whohas been a Goodhue County pa-trol deputy since 2001, has alwaysbeen interested in working with aK-9. He said one of the most im-portant parts of his job is publiceducation.

Library names art contest winnersZUMBROTA Kallie Alders, left, and Jacob Halverson were named the winners in the Zumbrota PublicLibrarys art contest on July 17. They each received a $25 gift certificate to Crossings. Winners of the shortstory writing contest were Rianne Buck, Holly Donovan, Kam Zetah, and Soren Hellyer. Their stories will beprinted together as a hardcover book that will be available for checkout later this year.

ZUMBROTA Peggy Petrzel-ka, a rural sociologist and associ-ate professor at Utah State Uni-versity, is travelling the countryto gather information from womenfarm-land owners who lease theirland to others to farm. On Friday,July 25, from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. shewill be at the Zumbrota PublicLibrary to hold a focus group withwomen landowners. A compli-mentary light lunch will be served,and mileage reimbursement willbe provided.

The meeting is part of a projectto learn more about the issues thatwomen landowners face nation-wide. It is sponsored by the Ameri-can Farmland Trust and Utah State

University and coordinated locallyby Renewing the Countryside, withsupport from The McKnight Foun-dation and the Woman, Foodand Agriculture Network.

We know very little about thisgroup of agricultural landowners,yet, know in some areas ofthe country their numbers aregrowing (in Iowa, for example,48% of the agricultural land isowned by women, either as soleor co-owners), Petrzelka said.These numbers are expected torise over the coming decade as thewomen inherit land from theirparents or become sole ownersif their husbands die before them.

The focus group will include

testing a draft survey that willeventually be sent to womenlandowners nationwide and dis-cussing any issues/concernswomen landowners have regard-ing their land and their interest inconservation practices. Participantswill be asked to share their reac-tions to survey questions such asthe regional appropriateness of thequestions, the length of questions,confusing questions, questions thatneed to be asked, etc. so the projectcan be improved.

The end product of this researchwill be recommendations to fed-eral and state agencies to help thembe more responsive to this subset offarmland owners.

Seven-year-old Zoe Zosel gets ready to jump off the diving board at theopen swimming event at the Pine Island pool. Zoes mom Marlo Zoselsaid they are excited about the proposed aquatic center.

Pool manager Teresa Carlson serves up a vanilla ice cream cone toeight-year-old Landon Brown. Brown is at the Pine Island pool every dayand takes swimming lessons. He said he would be very mad and wouldwant to scream if the pool closed. In the background, lifeguard RyanHinck gets a chocolate cone ready for his next customer.

By Audra DePestelPINE ISLAND The Pine Is-

land pool held a free ice creamsocial swimming celebration onJuly 10. Pool manager TeresaCarlson and city councilor JoelKnox were available to answerquestions and hand out informa-tion on the proposed aquatic cen-ter.

The pool committee continues

to work on funding for the pro-posed aquatic center to replace theoutdated pool. Without a plan inplace either to bring the originalpool up to code or build a newpool, the current pool would beshut down.

A number of people asked ques-tions and were interested in help-ing promote the new aquatic cen-

ter, which Carlson said was a goodthing because they need more com-munity members, especially youngfamilies, to get involved. Knoxsaid that the pool committee willhave to decide if they want to putthe vote for the new aquatic cen-ter on the November ballot or waitto do a special vote in the spring.

The pool committee meets thefirst Wednesday of the month at 7p.m. on the second floor of cityhall. Its email address ispipoolcommittee@gmail.com.More information and updatesabout the aquatic center proposalcan be found on its Facebook site.Donations for the new pool can bemade at Pine Island City Hall.

Pine Island School Districtnurse presents annual reportBy Alice Duschanek-Myers

PINE ISLAND On July 10,Pine Island School District nurseRobin Schmoll reviewed the 2013-14 health office report with theschool board. The most commonreasons for student visits to theschool health office are illnesses,injuries, and medication adminis-tration.

In 2013-14, students visited thehealth office 4,154 times, an av-erage of 25 daily visits lasting 20-30 minutes. There were 2,308 el-ementary, 1,288 middle school,and 555 high school visits.

In comparison, in 2012-13 therewere 3,562 student visits to thehealth office. The average was 20visits per day lasting 20-30 min-utes. Student visits totaled 2,219in elementary, 801 in middleschool, and 542 in high school.Student visits to the health officehad decreased since 2010 whenthe K-12 visits totaled 4,309.

Schmoll reported there were4,495 doses of medication admin-istered by the health office thisyear. This included 2,315 con-

trolled substances, 1,026 asthmamedications, 933 pre-scriptionmedications, 221 as needed medi-cations, and no Epi-Pens. Last year4,019 doses of medication wereadministered. There has been anincrease in prescriptions for con-trolled substances.

The staff of the health officedid 499 vision screenings in gradesK-7. 51 students were re-screenedand 17 referrals were made forparents to have their childrenscreened by specialists. There were488 hearing screenings done ingrades K-7. 103 students were re-screened and 13 referrals weremade for parents to have their chil-dren further screened.

This year there were 93 earlychildhood screenings. Last year75 children were screened, com-pared to 98 in 2011. Over the yearsthe district has used posters, thedistrict newsletter, the newspaper,cable television, and the webpageto advertise the screenings.

There is state funding for pre-school screenings. The State ofMinnesota goal is for children to

be screened at three years of age.The philosophy is to encouragescreening the children earlier tooffer interventions and referralsearlier in preparation for kinder-garten. The state requires a scoredreport from the developmental toolused in preschool screening.Recommendations forhealth office improvements

Schmoll recommended increas-ing the space for the health officein the new building designs. Attimes the cots and all of the chairsin the office are full of students.A private area to administer medi-cations and manage other concernswould increase confidentiality.There is no quiet area for hearingscreenings.

The health office needs to in-crease its substitute staff pool. Thestaff needs more clerical hours forcharting, inventory of medi-cat-ions, and other responsibilities. Theoffice needs updated software forrecords. Schmoll must preparehealth, allergy, asthma, 504 plans,and IEP health and sensory sum-maries in the limited office space.

Jerry Hinrichs, center, began working at Bob Seely Ford in 1961. Throughout much of his career, he was theparts manager and now he works part-time at Zumbrota Ford. With him in the newly renovated partsdepartment are Mike Goplen, left, and Ryan Bertschinger, right.

By Marilyn AndersonZUMBROTA Much has

changed at Zumbrota Ford in thepast year during its total renova-tion. However, the business hasbeen at its current location since1967 and it has several longtimeemployees. One employee, JerryHinrichs, began working with BobSeely Ford in 1961 and continuesto work with Zumbrota Ford to-day.

A Zumbrota area native,Hinrichs joined the Navy after highschool. He spent three years in theservice and was stationed on theUSS Wisconsin (BB-64) wherehe was a machinist in the engineroom. The ship is now in Norfolk,Virginia, where Hinrichs says, itis like me in museum status!

In October 1961, Hinrichs be-gan working at Bob Seely Ford asa lube technician. Shortly after,he was asked to be the parts man-ager even though I didnt reallyknow anything about it. He con-tinued in this job until the reces-

sion of the 1980s hit. He did ser-vice work from 1980-86 and thenresumed parts manager duties full-time.

The role of parts manager in-volves maintaining the inventory,ordering, and selling. But howinventory is maintained and whatis in the inventory has changedover the years.

Back in the 1960s and 1970s,models such as the Ford 150 pickupand the Ford Crown Victoria carstayed basically the same for fiveto six years. Now changes hap-pen yearly, Hinrichs said, Some-times mid-year. Technology keepsgetting better.

Changes in ordering have alsotaken place. While Hinrichs usedto do everything with paper andpencil, now everything is done witha computer. Into the 1980s, ninetypercent of his work was still donemanually. It wasnt until SteveJohnson bought the business in1999 that one hundred percent ofmaintaining inventory and order-ing was done by computer. With

todays technology, if youre awayfor a month, you have to play catch-up to get up to speed again,Hinrichs said.

Hinrichs currently works abouthalf-time, still in the parts depart-ment. The parts area and inven-tory was small in the 1960s, butthe newly renovated area is muchlarger with a greater array of partsfor the variety of models.

During his career, Hinrichs hasworked for three owners: Bob Seelyfrom 1961 to 1980, Perry Weeksfrom 1980 to 1999, and he hasnow been with Steve Johnson since1999. He said if he stays healthyfor another four years maybe hellmake it to 19 years with all threeowners. Ive been blessed withall three. They have all been goodemployers, he added.

Hinrichs and his wife Barb havebeen together since 1972. Five oftheir six children live in the area.Regarding retirement Hinrichssaid, Ive tried it a couple times,but I enjoy working. It gives me achallenge. I can only do hobbiesso long.

By Tara ChapaZUMBROTA Mark Murch

from Whitewater Tax Consultingin Dodge Center gave the 2013audit report at the July 10 Zum-brota City Council meeting. Murchsaid that the 2013 financials lookedhealthy and that city staff wereextremely cooperative and deliv-ered documents upon request.

Although things looked good,he said there is always opportu-nity for improvement. There wasa large expense in 2013 which wasa new computer system. Moneyearned this year on behalf of thecity increased by $30,000. Headded that engineering costs havegone up whereas debt servicesdecreased slightly. The city wa-ter showed a net loss, but sewerwas showing a profit.

The council accepted the auditwith no discussion.2015 general fund budget

City Administrator Neil Jensentalked about the 2015 fund bud-get. In 2014, city taxes brought in$1,037,908; taxes are projectedto be $1,059,771 in 2015. In addi-tion, local government aid was$545,399 in 2014 and in 2015 isprojected to be $566,683.

Jensen said there was a 0.007%increase in the levy. Additionalincreases included health insur-ance costs for city employees by10% as well as all salaries accord-ing to a salary scale recommendedto the city by a national pay scale.

Jensen said the building fundmay be spent as they continue tocomplete much needed road workin Zumbrota, but then plans to buildthe fund back up over time will becarried out as they take a breakfrom repairs.

City accountant Kim Simonsonsaid health insurance costs areactually budgeted at a 20% in-crease, since the city planned onmost employees with health in-surance having to cover a familyas well.DFA violations

Since the last council meeting,the national office of Dairy Farm-ers of America (DFA) has con-tacted the city and asked to meetwith them regarding their permitviolations in the wastewater treat-ment plant recently. In June alone,DFA had $101,000 in permit vio-

lations.Jensen said that a national DFA

representative did tell him that theywere in the middle of implement-ing a new system. All violationfunds received by the city are usedfor repairs, maintenance, and capi-tal projects. A national represen-tative from DFA plans to meetwith Mayor Rich Bauer, Jensen,and Councilman Brad Drenckhahnon July 24 and will also attend thecouncil meeting later that day toaddress the violations.2014 reservoir tank cleaning

The water reservoir tank waslast cleaned in 2011 and at thattime the council decided to cleanthe tank every three years. Thetotal cost for the project in 2011was $7,497. That was the first timethe tank had been cleaned since itwas constructed. The 2014 bid of$2,575 includes inspection andcleaning of three inches of mate-rial. Jensen said there is no way toforecast how many inches theywill actually encounter once in thetank.

Council approved the inspec-tion and cleaning at whateveramount is needed to complete theentire tank. The cleaning is doneby Midco Diving and Marine Ser-vices out of Rapid City, SouthDakota.Jefferson Drive work

Public Works would like to in-stall three patches on JeffersonDrive. Rochester Services gave aquote to cover patches over twobox culverts as well as a patch bythe Zumbrota Fire Hall. Patchesinclude milling and prep work aswell as blacktop. The total cost is$16,645. The council approvedRochester Services to begin thiswork. This will complete the workon Jefferson Drive for this year.Wastewater treatment plant

Jensen asked the council to ap-prove an advertisement for bidson repairing three shafts as wellas some valves on the wastewatertreatment plant. He advised notrepairing all the valves at one time,as that is very costly and the citywould then be responsible for re-placing all the valves at one timeevery couple of years. Jensen saidhe wishes to stagger the replace-ments. Council will move forwardwith advertising for bids.

Other businessJensen asked the city to approve

hiring another part-time city staffto assist with watering and mow-ing for the next few months whilestreet projects are underway. Quitea bit of money went into trees.And as the hottest months ap-proach, the city needs to take careof their trees so they do not dryup.

Community Development Di-rector Dan King informed thecouncil that the Covered BridgeFestival costs came in $3,600 lessthan budgeted. He also said thatthe Farmers Market will likelymove to in front of First Congre-gational Church at 455 East Av-enue as road construction is set tobegin in front of East Park on EastAvenue.
