There are no stops on theroute. It would not attract ridersaway from other modes of trans-portation. It would eliminate emer-gencyinterchangesinsomear-eas.Taxpayers could become respon-sibleforcoststhatonlybenefitRochester, Olmsted County, andasmallnumberofriders.Thecost of the Zip Rail is estimated at$4.2billion.CCARLestimated1,000 to 4,000 commuting work-erswoulduseitdaily.Itwouldbenefit Mayo Clinic and the Uni-versity of Minnesota.NAHSR is also a sponsor of acampaignforMinnesotatohostthe Worlds Fair.CCARL is recommending theHouse and Senate hold public hear-ings on the Rochester-Twin Cit-ieshigh-speedrailprojectwithrecordingsavailabletotheFed-eralRailAuthorityandSurfaceTransportation Board before anydecisions are made.Elected representativesRechtzigelanalyzedthetaximpact of a rail line using land inGoodhue County. He said, Therewillbelossofpropertyvalueifthis goes forward. I met with thecounty assessor. Prime ag (land)along the highway has an averagevalue of $7,000/acre. The tax onone acre of homestead is $27 and$54ifnothomesteaded.Withamile-wide corridor there would bea $112 million loss in value.

And we could be forcedto subsidize itGoodhue Countyloses $4,220,000. The Zip Railwould require 606 acres.Rechtzigel said, To show theimplicationsisnotexact.Thosepro Zip Rail people see us as againstprogress. Those against are con-cerned this is very damaging.

Shane was or-dered to undergo apre-sentenceinvestigation.Sentencingonthefelony charge is set for Septem-ber25inGoodhueCountyDis-trict Court in Red Wing. He facesup to 366 days in jail. On a lessergross misdemeanor charge of mis-conductbyapublicofficer,thejury found Shane not guilty.WeareverydisappointedinJudge [Lawrence] Clarks rulingand have made a motion for a newtrial to be heard on August 25,saidShanesattorneyAlexRogosheskeofRogosheske,Rogosheske & Atkins, PLLC ofsouth Saint Paul. If that requestis denied, we plan to appeal to theCourt of Appeals.The opening statements of thetrial began on July 28.GoodhueCountyauthoritiesopened an investigation into theincident on March 21, 2014, afterincumbent supervisor Rae Rusnakfiled a state election law complaintfollowingalostre-electionbid.Township clerk Jessica Page alsofiled an election law complaint.ShanewaselectedtotheWanamingoTownship Board in2012 for a term of three years. OnMarch 10, 2015, he was re-electedasaWanamingoTownshipsu-pervisor. He was not on the ballotfor election at the time of the inci-dent.Shane told authorities on June18, 2014, that he took unsecuredballots home and burned them af-ter being told to do so by JamesFoss, a resident chosen to countvotes in the townships election.Shane said he did not recall hear-ing anyone at the meeting say theballots needed to be retained. Min-utes from the meeting noted thatShane said he would take the bal-lotshomeandburnthem.Min-utes also noted that the clerk saidballotsneededtobekeptinthemetal box.During the trial, Shane said theballots were not burned until aboutMemorialDayweekend,twomonths after the election. And itcould have been avoided if any-one with an objection would havecontacted him.According to state law, munici-pal and township clerks must keepallelectionmaterialsatleast22months from the date of that elec-tion.OnOctober10,2014,ShanemadehisfirstappearanceinGoodhueCountyDistrictCourtfor the felony Election Day act ofmutilating ballots and gross mis-demeanor misconduct of a publicofficer.Shaneenteredapleaofnot guilty.Rogosheskesaidtheyplantoappeal the guilty verdict, pointingto First District Court Judge Clarksinstructionstothejury.Whilewe respect the finding of the jury,wefeelthatbaseduponJudgeClarks interpretation of the law,their hands were tied. Rogosheskesaid.He argued a mistake of lawdefense. Judge Clark determined,conveniently for the state after myclient testified, that Count 1 was ageneral intent crime and thereforemistake of law defense is not avail-able,hesaid.AndallthatthestatehadtoprovewasthatMr.Shaneintentionally(asopposedtoaccidentally)burnedthebal-lots. Rogosheske asserted that aguilty verdict for the felony countrequires Shane to have intendedto commit a crime by knowing itwasillegaltoburntheballots.Shanedeniedthisintentonthewitness stand.ProsecutingattorneyChristo-pher Schrader argued in court thatthelawonlyrequirestheactbecarried out. Judge Clark instructedjurors to follow that standard whenrenderingtheirdecisiononthematter.Rogosheske said the judge al-lowed the mistake of law defenseon the misdemeanor Count 2 and,on that, the jury acquitted Shane.Rogosheske also said the judgeruled that government estoppel wasnotanapplicabledefensewithrespect to the felony count. I there-fore could not argue that Mr. Shanerelied on the advice of Mr. Feuiling(a government agent), in good faithto take the ballots and burn themwithrespecttoCount1,Rogosheske said.Neitherstatutehasbeenre-viewed by the Court of AppealsorSupremeCourttodeterminewhether it is a general or specificintent crime, Rogosheske said.

Of course we al-ways want what cant grow here,but thats a personal problem.Winterhardinessanddiseaseresistance are two aspects we canconsider when trying to cut extraeffort, cost, and loss from garden-ing. Anytime we have to replacesomethingalreadyplanted,wemaketwicethework.Whenwehave to nurse sickly trees or plants,we add extra costs, time, and chemi-cal risk. And if we need to movesomething into a garage or porch,or bury it to survive the winter, weneedasanitycheckandafull-time slave! Aging doesnt allowfor any of that.The trick to learning just whatvarieties will be appearing in thenurseries is to seriously study allof the colorful plant catalogs youreceiveinthemail,thegardencolumns in the local Sunday pa-pers, or your smart phone to findspecifics throughout the long Min-nesota winter. Make a list of whatappealstoyou,thenlocatewhowillhaveitforsale,andplaceyour order. If you snooze, youlllose out because supply is alwaysless that demand for the really goodstuff.Yes,youllpayfullprice,but youll gain a whole season ofgrowth.Heres a hint that has saved mybody lots of pain over the years:ask if you can purchase things bareroot, rather than potted. Youll havetodealwiththeplants/treesim-mediately,andhaveholesdugahead of time, but youll have noextra weight to carry and you canseethehealthoftherootswithease. Even though the roots willhave wet straw and plastic aroundthem, beware a hot car or a windytruck bed. You wont have a bar-gainifyoukillitbeforeitgetshome.Even though we produce somemighty fine plant materials, it is awise precaution to mulch the firstwinter. My personal preference issix inches of oak leaves (not maplebecausetheypackdownandsmother) in a chicken wire circletoholdthemclosetotheplant/tree.

This yearthegamedesignersmadecoinsfor the game and devised ways forthe players to use them.On thesurface, the game was an arcadeof games and searches for hiddenprizes.Thegamedesignerswereoneof my sons and his daughter. Shewillbeacollegefreshmanthisfall. She did most of the design forthe game and produced a 200-pagebookdetailingeveryquestandspecial site in the game. Her fa-ther made the coins and helped setup the sites and the general store/bank. Somehow, they got every-thing done in time for the game tostart. They had some help from afew people doing the general set-up. They produced bulletins andwantedpostersforthevariousquests to entice players to look forthem. They hid clues in coconutsand then sold you the coconut.For instance, one would pay 35coins to get information about ahidden treasure. The treasure wasworth 34 coins (the box with the34 coins was worth nine coins). Inaddition, the game designers alsoran a bank where you could safelykeep most of your coins. We hadcoppers worth one unit each, sil-vers worth ten coppers, and goldcoinsworth100coppersortensilvers. One had to pay a copper toeat a meal. Minimally, one neededfive coppers to eat during the game.Eventhoughalotoftreasurewas placed on the land and somewere worth a fair to large amount,few players died or were attackedbyrobbers.Thegamedesignerswere expecting more people to getkilled for their purses than actu-allydid.Itwasntthatnoonewantedtofight;everyonehad(foam) weapons. After all, whatprofit is there in killing someonefor a few coppers? You couldntget their big money because it wasin the bank.Weprovedthatifyoudontwatchyourmoneyortreasure,someonewillstealit.Mybootybag was stolen before I even re-ally got it. I was making nametagsusingrunecharacters.SomeonehandedmemybagandIsetitdown where I was working. I didnot attach it to my belt. I just set iton the table. A thief gave me a patand a hug on one side and grabbedmy bag from the other side. Wehave booty bags to hold our coinsand treasures. It is easier to steal ifit is in a bag. Remember the movieLadyhawke?Igotthestorekeeper/bankerwhenIsoldhimthe box from the quest. He startedto give me some of the stuff weagreed to. Someone called him toaskhimaquestion.Hewalkedaway. I took the stuff he had givenme for the box and I took the box.Thenlaterinthegame,Icameover to him to offer to buy the boxback saying that someone neededit. He looked around and couldntfind it.He said, I dont remem-ber even tagging it. I did that tohimtwiceandhestilldidntre-member where the box went. Atthe Bardic Circle, I explained alland offered to give him the box. Istill have the box.Watch Monty Python and theHolyGrailtogetagoodideaabout the game, and then look forit next year in July for the lucky13th annual game!
