line ends near Minnesota City, but much of its freight continues southeast through Goodview and Winona on tracks owned by Canadian Pacific Rail. The federal Surface Transportation Board is drafting an environmental impact statement on the project. The House bill was introduced by DFL. representatives Pelowski, John Dorn of Mankaand Ted Winter of Fulda, and Republicans Dave Bishop of. Rochester, Tom.

Workman of Chanhassen and Doug Reuter of Owatonna. The original request of $50 million came from 31 cities and 10 counties along the line. In late February, the House whittled it to $5 million. And House bonding figures released Wednesday contained no mitigation funding, Pelowski "We're going to hope the Senate position prevails," Pelowski said. The Senate's $1.3 billion omnibus transportation bill Church From Page 1A The church had been discussing the idea of putting in the railings, partly because of safety concerns.

About 25 to 30 people sing in the choir every weekend at one of the church's two Sunday Masses or Saturday Mass. Other parishioners also sit every weekend in the balcony. "We did the lower balcony and then the upper balcony simply because we, wanted them to look the same. We didn't want to close them off," Meyer said. "And we wanted to do something that would blend with the original woodwork in the church." To accomplish that goal, Speltz used panoramic photos of the church interior.

He spent than a week copying newel posts, handrails and spindles from elsewhere in the church. Arches in the banisters were copied from those of the church's marble communion railing. "All these designs were shrunk down to fit in here," Woll He was a member of the VFW and Legion in Rushford and the Knights of Columbus and the Disabled American Veterans in Winona. He is survived by his. wife, Clara; two sons, James (Mary) Woll of Clinton, lowa, and Michael (Jaclyn) Woll of Eden Prairie, four granddaughters, Kristen, Angela, Kathryn and Christine; and three great-granddaughters.

He was preceded in death by two brothers. There will be a funeral Mass at 10 a.m. Tuesday at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Rushford with the Rev. William Kulas officiating.

There will be military honors by the MurphyJohnson American Legion Post. Burial will be at St. Mary's Cemetery in Winona. Friends may call from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday at Hoff Funeral Homes-Cook Rushford Chapel, where there will be a 7:30 p.m.

prayer service. There is also visitation one hour prior to the service Tuesday at the church. provides for $10 million for mitigation. The Senate Transportation Budget Division authorized the funding last week, in addition to forming a study group to examine the impacts of more trains on line. The bill was moved to the state government finance committee.

A House omnibus transportation funding bill, authored by Republicans Carol Molnau of Chaska and Jim Abeler of Anoka, also would create a study group, asking the commissioners of agriculture, transportation, and trade and economic development to assess economic, social and environmental impacts of increased traffic. The group would develop recommendations to maximize the volume of Minnesota products on the line while assuring environmental protection. In addition, it would identify the direct and indirect costs of the project for local units of government and private property owners. The study group also would consider modifications to ports and other infrastructure. that could enhance, benefit and minimize the impact of the project in Minnesota.

The House bill next, will be considered by the Ways and Means committee. Speltz said while taking a break in the choir loft. He planned and designed the project with a pencil and paper. "I don't even own a computer," he said. Making the railings, however, required sophisticated woodworking equipment.

The 1 lower railing consists of three 24-foot sections and two 16-foot sections; the upper of three 13-foot sections. Only one of the 24-foot sections is straight. "The rest are all curved," Speltz said. And "we didn't do any bending." To curve the railings without bending the oak lumber cut from regional timber, the craftsmen glued boards together and cut them to the shape of a pattern. Making one curved 24- foot section required five passes through the, six knives of a William Hussey planer and molding machine.

Custom Hardwoods didn't have a lathe that is fast enough to make the 300 spindles in a short time, so Speltz hired a New York firm. He probably wishes he had hired someone to move the railings into place. Each section weighed about 175 pounds and had to be pulled up into the choir lofts with rope.
