HEATHER CARLSON
HOME: 288-3875
CELL (507) 301-1927
Week of Oct. 15-19
Monday: Noon to 9 p.m. Will be in Pine Island at 5:30 p.m. doing story on the saavy group of residents pushing the upcoming referendum vote. They are doing polling, have computer databases set up and are calling every resident in the district.
Tuesday: 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Going to Rushford to report on flood family. Covering Minnesota Historical Society meeting in St. Paul re: Kasson school being but on National Register. Will e-mail the story in.
Dodge DNA — (Carlson) DNA tests are now being used to nab suspects for crimes like copper theft or car theft. What once was an expensive, rarely used law-enforcement tool is now being harnassed for these run-of-the-mill crimes.
Area police — (Carlson) Story about area cities wrestling with whether to have their own police force or contract with sheriff departments. The city of Hayfield is looking to start their own force.
This would likely be a weekend piece looking at the pros and cons of cities having their own police forces.
Ethanol plants — (Carlson-mk) A proposed ethanol plant in Eyota has generated concerns about neighbors about the potential for smell, noise, truck traffic, etc.. To get a sense of an ethanol plant’s impact on a community’s standard of living and economy, I think it would be worthwile to visit both Claremont and Preston where there are plant’s today and talk to neighbors, city officials, etc.. about the plant’s impact.
At this point this is merely an idea. I need to schedule some interviews and a do a little background research on this first.

6:30 p.m. School board candidates will hold a public forum at the Mower County Senior Center.
Note: I will be working on a package the Lyle school district and comparing/contrasting them to other area districts. How many students from Austin attend Lyle schools? The school in Lyle is brand new and a much smaller district than Austin, and I will look at numbers of students who attend each district. How many students has the Austin district lost to Lyle? What are the features of the new school? Possibly take a ride on a Lyle bus once school starts to see how many stops they make in Austin. Find out if Raskin is concerned that more students will leave the Austin district for Lyle. Part of the package may include an update on each of the schools in the area: Southland with all its staff and budget cuts, its merging with Leroy-Ostrander; Blooming Prairie with its $14 million construction project set to begin in 2009; Austin’s many new programs, including the integration program that they are doing with Southland. Hayfield could also be included, depending on what is going on there. Publish date: Begin on Oct. 27 and spread as needed through the week of Oct.29
