organizing and providing Power Points on all biology syllabus topics with pictures and
graphics resulting in 313 students trained and successfully able to upload and view power
points to get information on critical biology topics.
Created after school music club for students interested in learning how to read music
through playing the recorder. There were 9 active members the first year and 18 the
second year. The results are five students proficient in reading music with enthusiasm
and ability to be the music teachers next year. (all girls)
• Created a Girls Peer Leadership Group together with teacher counterparts for teaching
Life Skills and,HIV/AIDS with 28 active participants teaching to all four levels of
secondary school. The student group has completed the second year of teachingpeers
and is preparing new participants from the now Form I students. Tangible results are 420
students trained in communication skills to use in negotiating with boys and peers to
prevent risky behavior and practice on a model applying a male condom and instruction
on applying a female condom correctly.
Co-organized a week-long girls' leadership workshop for primary and secondary students
addressing HIV/AIDS, Life Skills and nutrition through bio intensive gardening and food
preservation, and marketable skills for income generation. This was followed by a one
day workshop of similar activities organized by the local teachers and People Living
With HIV AIDS (PLWHA) group from Lushoto at one of the rural primary schools.
• Organized a one-day seminar addressing HIV /AIDS prevention, care and stigmatization
for primary teachers and village religion teachers (Muslim and Christian) from three
schools (22 participants). This group decided to start teaching youth at their homes on
weekends and to plan a two-day seminar for those adolescent youth (1/2 boys/ 1/2 girls) in
the village that cannot afford to continue on in secondary school. Those seminars
included a session teaching transmission and prevention of HIV. Tangible results are 16

youth leaders trained in communication skills to use in negotiating with boys and peers to
prevent risky behavior and practice on a model applying a male condom and instruction
on applying a female condom correctly. Eleven Tanzanian primary teachers successfully
taught these lessons as a result of their training. The second day included a field trip to
local trade skill programs (affordable) for youth including welding, motorcycle repair,
sweater making and computers, and a lesson on STD's. The results of youth enrolled in
these programs is yet to be known
Developed bio-intensive and permaculture gardens at three primary schools in the area,
teaching nutrition for PLWHA and for families caring for many vulnerable childxpn,
learning how to grow more food in a small place close to home. These initiatives'resulted
in five village adults trained to teach these techniques, helping and often hired to develop
more gardens. Now there are also many small gardens at the homes of villagers and two
demonstration gardens in Lushoto town for PLWHA groups. All three schools have
documented results of feeding more vegetables to their students, selling vegetables to
teachers and villagers providing money to buy seeds for the next planting and oil to cook
vegetables and providing seedlings to students for bin - intensive gardens at their homes. ,
All three schools have expanded the number of planting beds ftorn 6 to 16 or more.
Randee developed a seedling garden at her home with local nutritious plants to use to
start new gardens in the community.
Randee served for one year (2008-09) as a member of the Peace Corps peer support group, Peer
Support Diversity Network (PSDN) providing support as needed to fellow volunteers such as
stress management, conflict resolution, medical escort, and personal reflection and problem
solving.
Secondary Projects:
Tan addition to teaching classes as part of the school teaching team, Randee Wallace Edmundson
lived alongside other school teachers, sharing the same challenging living conditions as her
neighbors and participating in community life in a culturally sensitive manner. This led to
working with the community on some secondary projects, including:
Randee, listening to the many needs of the government run primary school adjacent to the
secondary school, she, together with the Headmistress and school leadership committee
decided to write a Peace Corps Partnership Proposal to build teacher housing and two
septic tanks for the new and old teacher housing units. Today, there are two teachers and
their families living in the new housing unit and the other teachers now have a safe toilet.
The results for students are documented through increased after-school-hours instruction
for students in English and tutoring for national exams. Teachers have reported increased
energy and promptness for classes as a result of housing on site. These teachers were
walking 2 hours to school and back prior to the housing built.
Kongei Primary School has a strong commitment to teach children and share new ideas
with surrounding villages to improve the health and education of the youth. Because of
this, they asked Randee to help them write the application for receiving an Environmental
Peace Corps Volunteer next year focusing on community environmental education to
improve the landscape and health which they depend. The Primary school received an

• Randee participated as a Peace Corps Volunteer of the Week for the new environmental
volunteers training. She designed and conducted a one day session on teaching strategies
and environmental education in community schools. Randee was asked by the school
leaders to select student generated models and teaching aids to exhibit at the Regional
Exhibit for Secondary Teachers an successful teaching aids using local materials.
• A government secondary school in the surrounding community was awarded $2000 for
laboratory equipment through a collaborative proposal writing effort between Randee and
her school counterpart. Together they created a science lab and trained science teachers in
using the equipment.
• She assisted a Tanzanian colleague with writing a grant proposal for a sweater making
project training vulnerable youth and women marketable skills, resulting in receiving
funds for two sweater-making machines and start-up materials.
Pursuant to section 5(t) of the Peace Corps Act 22 U.S.C. & 2504 (f), as amended, any former
volunteer employed by the United States Government following his Peace Corps service is
entitled to have any period of satisfactory Peace Corps service credited for purposes of
retirement, seniority, reduction in force, leave, and other privileges based on length of
government service. That service shall not be credited toward completion of the probationary or
trial period or any service requirement for career appointment.
This is to certify in accordance with Executive Order 11103 of April 10, - 1963 that Randee
Wallace Edmundson served successfully as a Peace Corps Volunteer. His/her serviced ended on
04 December 2009 as she completed PC service. S/he is therefore eligible to be appointed as

SOUTH IST, PAUL PUBLIC SC140OLS
LINCOLN CENTER SCHOOL
January 12th 2010
Dear Maplewood City Council Members,
I am applying for a position on the environmental commission because I believe in service to any community
and believe I have a number of ideas, and even more important low cost activities, to improve Maplewood's
environmental standing.
I have been a teacher in South St. Paul for over ten years. As a teacher I have developed a unique skill-set.
My skills include the ability to work with all sorts of people professionally, the ability to think critically about
issues from multiple perspectives, and I am a clear communicator. I also recently attended a graduate level
course at the University of MN on renewable energy and bio-products. While many bio-fuels are not yet cost
effective, I learned the benefits and costs associated from the various options available. Personally, I believe
our society will continue to move away from our dependence on fossil fuels, and when cost-effective, we will
begin to choose more environmentally friendly options. My thesis presentation at the end of the course was
on the average cost savings of converting a home from a standard natural gas system to geothermal heating
system. I presented data that showed the average homeowner would make back the initial purchase price of
a geothermal system after approximately seven years, and every subsequent year they would keep saving
additional money.
An easy recommendation I would bring to the table is reducing Maplewood's light pollution. Not only would it
save electricity but it can substantially reduce the impact on migratory bird's following their seasonal
migratory paths. But, thinking critically, I am aware that the flip side of reducing light use is the possibility
of an increase in vandalism or crime near unlit buildings... Another relatively low-cost idea, to consider, is
purchasing new city snow-plows that use a saltwater "brine" solution. Not only would this have less impact
on the salinization of our takes and streams, but it has the potential to reduce the cost of purchasing salt over
a number of years--the cost savings can be substantial. The D.O.T. has already started using this new
method of "salting /brining" streets before storms and it is saving tax-payers money on a state level. The
down-side of this idea is the initial purchase price of a new truck... and in these times of tight budgets is it
feasible? These are just two examples of my clear thinking and ability to see both sides of the issues.
I have a broad knowledge base on environmental issues and a passion to work as a team member for the
benefits of our city. I appreciate that our city was on the forefront in water garden development. And our
model has spread throughout many communities nationwide. I am also a firm supporter of our city's
recreational opportunities, and our excellent nature center facilities. I believe that through the efforts of
caring citizens and proper governmental policies, real change can happen.

Housing and Redevelopment Authority Application — Scott C. Wilhelm.
July 30, 2009
4, Please list specific reasons why you would like to serve on this board or commission?
I have lived in the city Maplewood for seven years and have grown quite fond of it. Serving
Maplewood would be an honor and should be treated as an opportunity to better the lives of
those in the community. Specific reasons for serving on the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority arv,
1. 1 am passionate about real estate and housing matters
2. 1 desire to participate and have an impact on the future direction of Maplewood — Legacy
for generations to come
3. During the past five years I have familiarized myself with real estate, development and
housing matters
4. 1 owned and managed multifamily properties in St. Paul, North St. Paul and Stillwater.
Managing and maintaining properties allowed me to observe and deal with city codes,
conditions, tenant problem neighborhoods, redevelopment and crime.
S. Do you have any specific areas of interest within the Board's or Commission's scope of
responsibility?
The fact that the Homing and Redevelopment Authority oversees housing matters, policies as
well as code and development proposals excites me. While managing residential properties I
became aware and sensitive to all stakeholders within a community. For example; one house on
a block that is non-conforming can upset the balance for those living in the surrounding arcu.
Some residents might have strong opinions on the number of rentals or off site owners within a
specific area. Ordinances for rental properties might need to be stiffer or monitored more often
than homesteaded properties. Futm planning of a city is extremely important. Maintaining the
value ,of existing homes while developing new neighborhoods is critical if the city of Maplewood
is to sustain its tax base and appear like a desirable place, to live.
6 List any community organizations or activities in which you have recently or are now an
active participant.
I served on the board of trustees of a local church. At the time I lived in Minneapolis and
moved to Maplewood because of my involvement as a trustee. I served a three year term. I did
not seek reaffirmation due to new employment and the addition of a new family member. I still
attend and support the salve church and have witnessed its impact on Maplewood.
Please share any additional comments on why you should be selected by the city council
I have experience in corporate finance, project management and residential housing matters
outside of owning my own home. My experience and desire to serve the city of Maplewood
deserves a solid review. I am dedicated to the activities I am involved in and desire to have a
long term impact through the participation in the HRA committee.
