The man in charge of the week's operations, Bolten Norbert, said the purpose of the vacation is to bring people stationed at two American bases, in Illinois and Virginia, closer together. Norbert, who is a Deacon for the German Catholic military church, said that once families are relocated to the states it is important that they develop new contacts. "It is important that we help them develop a community once they are away from their communities in Germany," he said. "The soldiers all know each other from working together," be said.

"The women are can't talk to people about problems with living overseas." It's also an exercise in problem solving. "After the week you are either friendly or you respect the guy," he said. The trip to Trempealeau is one of the retreats that the Lutheran and Catholic churches offer troops stationed the United States. Troops that are located in the United States are participating in exercises with domestic troops, Such as exchange programs. This is the second year the houseboat trip had been offered.

Both are looking forward to when they depart the marina sometime this morning.

"Last year was experimental. Last year was successful," said Nicole. "It really was a lot of fun." Nicole said she has read about the Mississippi in Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn." Occasionally she can relate to the settings of the book. "If you go into the side channels you can fantasize a bit about it, but in the main channel that is pretty hard to do," she JobsTemporary work available said. Nicole, 16, and Bianca, 13, said they don't find living in such a confined space too difficult Besides, they said, motioning to the lower and upper decks, you can always go somewhere else.

Both girls were confirmed on the trip last year but have no exciting plans for this week. The biggest things on their agenda's include learning bow to waterski, getting a good tan and perhaps a little bit of fishing. The vacationers were responsible for their own transportation and food. The rest of the tab, approximately $6,000, was paid for by the German churches. program.

(The state agency gets $20 million in additional federal funding to train and employ low-income and dislocated workers in two other programs). In many of the areas she toured, Tracy found that the private sector was unable to pick up the slack from funding cutbacks in the federal program and recent cutbacks in the state's big program, called the Minnesota Youth Program. Tracy said the federal youth-jobs progam has been cut back 30 percent in the last five years, while the Minnesota Legislature trimmed $350,000 over the next two years from the $5.3 million state program. "I think it's the general economy," Tracy said. "There just isn't much at all in some of the towns in northern Minnesota where I've been."

"If anything, I'd say that more eight-, nine- and 10-year-olds come to the pool." As he spoke, he motioned a nine-year-old perched on a bench. She was sent to the pool by her babysitter, with a 10-year-old friend. She got separated from her friend and didn't know his last name to make finding him easier "It makes it hard," McGille said. "But I have to follow what I'm told to do." Kim Rudebusch, City of Winona facilities supervisor, said she has been pleased with how things have gone so far. "Things have gone so well, so smooth for the second year of operation that I just can't believe it," she said.

The only real problems the Aquatic Center is facing, according to Rudebusch, are people not obeying rules. Fran paga 1A kow drove the damaged squad more than 20 miles from rural Nelson to an auto repair service in Fountain dry. Wis. The squad car's steering was damaged when it hit a stump while Bnmkow tried to accelerate out of a hay field belonging to Barley Schlieker akeg Deer Creek Road in rural Nelson, Brantner said. Brunkow intentionally backed into a field after he got stuck while attempting to turn around on Deer Creek Road, Brantner said.

While spinning to get out, Brunkow hit a stump and dam-seed the field. The law enforcement committee agreed to pay a $10 claim for field damages and ordered Brunkow to apologize to Schlieker. Brunkow "never notified Schlieker of the damage, to his field," Brantner said. The committee's decision was reached after a closed session by Brantner, supervisors Lee Amdahl, Armin Piel and county board chairman Les Winsand, who filled in for Vera Martzke. Brantner said he advised Brunkow of his right to attend the closed session or ask for an open session, but Brunkow declined.

The committee did not immediately make a public release of Brunkow's name after action was taken in closed session on June 7. The name was omitted from a motion and unofficial minutes recorded at the meeting. Amdahl, chairman of the law enforcement committee, released Brunkow's name after conferring with corporation counsel James uuvau. Brantner released Schlieker's name and other information after first consulting Duvall. Contents of the letter of reprimand will not be released, Brantner said.

At least two other officer reprimands have been issued since Brantner took office for the first time in 1989. "I'd just as soon not say the names," Brantner said.

A neighbor or passerby had noticed smoke pouring from windows. The tank is located in a newer section of the plant, Osborne said, one without a basement but with a closed drainage system. The molten zinc flowing into the pit "produced a terrific amount of heat and smoke in the manufacturing area," he said. Firefighters in oxygen masks entered the building and shut off the gas and electricity that kept the tank heated. By doing that, the zinc couldn't remain in a molten state and began to harden, Osborne said.

The zinc both inside and outside the tank would harden within a few hours, he added. Once the power was cut, firefighters opened roof vents and used smoke blowers to ventilate the building. Because zinc may explode on contact with water, Osborne said firefighters "were real careful in our use of water. No water on molten metal or anything." They also had to work around a nearby tank filled with sulphuric acid, also a highly caustic chemical. State Fire Marshal Larry Strange is expected to investigate the site today.

Winona County Emergency Management Director Bob Brown wasn't at Behrens Sunday, but he said he doesn't think he'll need to file a report with the Environmental Protection Agency or the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Behrens Inc. produces sheet metal products such as metal garbage cans, pails and tubs. The zinc is used to coat those products. Behrens Manufacturing was sold last November to Sherman, who reorganized the company as Behrens Inc.

From page 1A representative. "I think the prospects are really good," she said, when asked about students finding work. "A temporary service is a good place to look." Some of the temporary jobs do last all summer, she noted. Her company provides employees for a variety of businesses, and "you never really know day-to-day. Some (jobs) are for just a couple of days and some are long-term." The hourly pay range generally is $4.50 to $7, Shurson said.

And the jobs range from office work to landscaping to heavy labor. Students can also look for summer jobs through their school. Winona State University, for example, hired about 300 students last summer. And Sandra Roraff, associate director of financial aid, doesn't expect that to change much this year. The jobs include residence hall painting, pool lifeguards, computer lab staff and office help.

"Our financial aid office, for instance, couldn't get along in the summer without them," Roraff said. The WSU jobs pay $4.25 an hour. Elsewhere in Minnesota, numbers are hard to come by because of the seasonal nature of youth employment. But some state and municipal officials say many young people are finding the pickings slim. Kay Tracy, a state youth programs coordinator, predicts three applications for every job available in the largest federally funded jobs program, the Jobs Training and Partnership Act.

The state gets $7.3 million from the federal government this year for the program. The money is targeted for youngsters from 14 to 21 who are from families living in poverty or who face other disadvantages, such as physical handicaps.
