B.P. School Board Trims 2017-’18 Budget Growth, Cuts Teaching Jobs Probationary Teachers, School Monitor Positions Cut From 2017-18 Budget

Nearly 20 years ago, weather and the ravages of time claimed the old ‘terminal’ at the Belle Plaine Airport, known formally today as the ARS Sport Strip in Faxon Township. With the passing of one its owners, Jim Drometer, his partner, Dianna Minar, wants to sell the air strip. She hopes to stay in the adjacent house Drometer renovated. His memory, she said, is everywhere around the house and air strip.

B.P. Airport Owner Selling Air Strip, Will Cherish the Memories Dianna Minar looks to the south over 2,500 feet of grass landing strip and sees the love of her life for nearly 40 years. Though she’s no longer interested in owning the ARS Sport Strip, Minar will cherish the memories of a man who loved flying almost as much as he loved her. Minar is selling the airstrip and surrounding 40 acres she and her life partner, Jim Drometer, enjoyed on 200th Street in Faxon Township, just north of the river in Sibley County. The airstrip is privately owned but available for public use at no cost. It is currently closed. Drometer passed away suddenly Dec. 19, 2016. He had been chopping wood and working with a log-splitter with a

friend. Jim was 71. Minar hopes to keep living in the farmhouse Drometer restored. She feels his presence in the house. His favorite ball cap sits atop the refrigerator. His ashes are in an urn. When the time arrives, her ashes will be co-mingled with his. “This place was Jim’s dream. I feel like he’s still here with me,” she said. Minar believes the owner of the airstrip should be someone with a passion for flying. As much as she enjoyed flying, it was more a reason to spend more time with the man she loved. “You either have that aviation blood in you or you don’t and he had it,” Minar said. “Jim loved airplanes, loved to fly.”

From New Market to Belle Plaine

ARS Sport Strip is loosely named after the company the couple started and operated, Aircraft Restoration Supplies. They started in New Market and continued the operation after moving to rural Belle Plaine to buy the airstrip, farmhouse and land in 1992. “It helped our business. People could fly out here,” Minar said. “With the business they had, it just made sense,” said Jason Drometer, the youngest of Jim’s four sons. He recalls flying with his brothers and their father. Jim would allow his son

With no certainty on how much the Belle Plaine School District will receive in state aid or how much the school board and the district’s unions will negotiate to spend on contracts over the next two years, the district cut the anticipated growth of the 2017-18 general budget by over $434,000. Monday evening’s (April 24) unanimous decision eliminates two full-time probationary teaching positions, reassigns two response-to-intervention (RTI) positions, eliminate two full-time preschool Community Education staff, a parttime math teacher and an afterschool building monitor at the junior-senior high school. The district is also enacting reductions in spending on mentorship positions, a part-time FFA advisor, professional-learning community advisors, and supplies. It will also adjust or not offer classes with low registration levels at the secondary level. The total reduction from the growth of next year’s budget is

$434,735. The district is assuming a bestcase scenario of 1½ percent in additional state aid in 2017-18 and 2018-19. That would bring about $146,000 of new money into the district. But it would leave the district short $64,000 to cover salary costs. The level of state aid the district receives will impact the budget adjustment. The district receives $6,067 in basic state aid per student (about $9.74 million overall) and $724 per student (about $1.16 million) in board OK’d excess levy aid. State aid is a significant part of the district’s general fund income of $14.46 million in 2016-17. About three-fourths of what the district spends from its general fund is on salaries and benefits for staff. With negotiated staffing costs expected to increase $184,000 with the beginning of the 201718 school year, the school district has less than $131,000 to add to new contracts with teachers and other staff to avoid a repeat of Monday night’s budget adjustment. Anything above that $131,000 will require additional budget revision. Still-to-be-determined is the amount of federal aid for Title 1 and Title 2 programs. The district uses Title 2 money to

fund half of a kindergarten teacher’s salary. Superintendent Ryan Laager said there is no money for Title 2 programs in the proposed federal budget and Title 1 funding is proposed for a 10 percent cut. The district receives about $490,000 in federal aid. Negotiations with the district’s two unions have yet to begin. Further complicating those talks is how the district and its unions will divvy the impact of an approved 12 percent increase in the district’s self-funded health insurance plan. Before dealing with the 201718 budget, the school board finalized the 2016-17 district budget. The revision is based on more current information than was available to the school board earlier this year when it approved a preliminary budget. The district’s initial budget for the 2016-17 had revenue of $15.977 million. The actual revenue was $16.028 million. The board OK’d a preliminary budget with $15.96 million. The revised budget’s expenses for the year are about $16.21 million. Salaries and benefits are the primary driver of the higherthan-expected expenses. The

Belle Plaine Mom Makes April ‘Purple Month’

681,000 children 5 years old or younger and another 567,000 children between 6 and 11 years of age as of 2014. Nagorski has seen strangers walk up to soldiers and thank them for the sacrifice associated with their service. “But people don’t say ‘thank you’ to their children for the sacrifice they make not having their dad around,” she said. “If someone said ‘thank you’ to my kids, I think it would make them proud.”

Cupcakes for All

Jennifer Nagorski wants to make sure children of military families are remembered and honored as much as soldiers themselves. Friday (April 21), she passed out purple-iced cupcakes to children of soldiers in Belle Plaine. The children she cares for, like Connor Wagner, enjoyed the cupcakes, too.

Former Soldier’s Wife Wants the Children Remembered When soldiers are deployed, there’s plenty of attention and fanfare for their commitment to their country, the willingness to serve in a time of need. A Belle Plaine mom wants to make sure the children of soldiers and the sacrifices they make are also recognized. Jennifer Nagorski knows firsthand what it’s like to have children missing their father. Their dad, Jeremy, served three tours of duty in Iraq (2003-04 and 2007-08) and Kuwait (201516) before he retired from the

U.S. Army National Guard after 24½ years. So while many people around her saw purple as a way of honoring Prince, the late music icon, Jennifer Nagorski donned purple Friday (April 21) to honor the sacrifices of the military child, the son or daughter whose dad or mom is away from home serving their country’s interests. She and her children loaded up the family mini van and made sure every military child in Belle Plaine she knew of received a cupcake topped with purple icing. The U.S. Department of Defense estimates there were 1.82 million children of active duty and reserve component branches of the services in 2014. The DOD estimates they have over

Through social media, Nagorski put together the most accurate, the most complete list she could of military families living in Belle Plaine. She ordered cupcakes for 10 families – 20 children in all – and delivered them. Nagorski ordered a few extra for her own children and the children she cares for during the day. By the end of Friday, there were a few youngsters with smudged purple smiles in Nagorski’s house. Most were too young to appreciate the effort she made to honor the sacrifices of the children of soldiers. “I think they just like the icing,” Nagorski said. But Jennifer and Jeremy Nagorski know better. Jeremy asks his eldest son what he missed the most when his father was gone during his 2015-16 de-

One Last Go-round After several years running the Belle Plaine spring city-wide garage sales, Diane Skelley has decided to step aside from managing publicity and organizing the popular city-wide event. Last Saturday (April 22) was her final day overseeing the city-wide garage sales. Her work included taking in all the information from people holding garage sales in the event and publishing a listing of the sales. Skelley plans to continue attending garage sales, especially for the social aspect of the events.

Earth Day Cleanup in Belle Plaine Students at Trinity Lutheran took time Friday afternoon to clean up school and parsonage grounds in time for Earth Day (Saturday, April 22). The trio of (from left) Naomi Anderson, Erin West and Ava Fritze raked the church parsonage’s yard and bagged pine needles while students picked up wrappers and other debris near the school. Students at Belle Plaine public schools also spent time outside Friday cleaning up the grounds around the schools.

OLP Supporters Lend a Hand for Their School Supporters and parents of students at Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic School were out in force to raise money and have fun at the school’s 17th Annual Gala & Casino Night Saturday in the OLP Parish Life Center. The fund-raiser included a silent auction, games and drawings. (Above) Michelle Giles drew the winning name -- Dan Neisen -- in a wine raffle from a bucket Nora Wermerskirchen held. (Below), the event gave church members and school supporters the chance to visit. The event raised about $38,000 for OLP’s school.

School Board district spent $56,000 more than expected on special education after an agreement with Jordan was not renewed.

Enrollment Ups, Downs Slight drops in enrollments and small class sizes also plague the school district. Next year’s kindergarten class is projected at 144 students. The firstgrade class is expected to have 138 students. Third, fourth and fifth, seventh and eighth grades all have robust projected enrollments of 120 students or more. But the second, sixth, ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th grades are all below 120, with junior and senior classes next year projected at 106 and 103 students, respectively. The district wants to see class enrollments in “in the 130s,” Laager said. “106 could become the 90s because you lose kids.” Overall, the district’s enrollment has been stagnant. In 2013, Belle Plaine School District’s budget was based on 1,610 K-12 students. This year, that K-12 enrollment has dropped to 1,601. The district’s juniorsenior high school enrollment is 720 students, 21 lower than in 2013.

Community Center

Laager reported the initial meeting of the city-school district community center committee last Thursday (April 20) went well. The committee has 31 people on it, including representatives of the school board and city council. The group broke into six groups of five people and began sharing ideas on what they wanted to see in a community center. Administration will take that information and begin researching potential costs and potential phasing of a proposal. The committee will meet again in May at a to-be-determined date. Laager noted the next meeting would likely be held at a community center for committee members to see how they function. The work will likely result in a proposal for a community center for the school board and city council to consider before deciding if, or how, to proceed. In other action at the May 24 meeting, the Belle Plaine School Board: • Paid bills totaling $1,485,155.55. • Heard an update on the BPHS band’s spring break trip to Florida. • Heard a report on the BPHS speech team members advancing to the state meet last Saturday in Apple Valley. None of

Ruth Dorothea Carlson, 90, passed away April 20, 2017 peacefully surrounded by her loving family and husband of 60 years. A Christian Funeral will be held on Thursday, April 27 at 11 a.m., at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church 100 Sixth Street West in Jordan, with Pastor Jeremy Glowicki presiding. Friends may greet the family with a visitation starting at 9:30 a.m. She will be laid to rest at Spirit Hill Cemetery. Ruth Dorothea was born on July 8, 1926 in Lanesburgh Township to parents Frederick and Caroline (Tietz) Bohnsack. She was baptized on July 17, 1926 and confirmed on May 12, 1940 by Reverend Kelm at Friedens Lutheran Church in Lanesburgh. One of six children, Ruth enjoyed growing up on the family’s farm with her five siblings and attended the local country school. In Ruth’s younger years, shortly after World War II, she supported community of Jordan, working at the Hamburger Home, Wagner’s Supper Club, and many other local businesses. During that time, she met Eugene “Jim” Carlson, a local gentleman. On July 7, 1956, at St Paul’s Lutheran Church, they united in marriage and were blessed with three children, Susan, David and Lori. After her children were grown, Ruth worked over 10 years at Norwesco Inc. in Belle Plaine. Ruth enjoyed various hobbies of embroidering kitchen towels and pillowcases, working in the vegetable garden, and then canning the fruits of her labor. She was an avid cook, baker and loved traveling with her family. She had a passion for cleaning and maintained a meticulous home. Most of all, she loved devoting her time and energy to her family. Ruth was considered the matriarch of the family. She was a strong hard working woman who deeply loved her family. Ruth was kind, loving, and ever selfless putting her family’s needs before her own. She welcomed and enjoyed being a mother, a grandmother, and then in time a great-grandmother. Ruth embodied the values of a good Christian woman. She volunteered at St. Paul’s

Lutheran Church serving those in need and, most importantly, she lived and died as a humble Christian woman. Left to honor Ruth’s life is her husband, Eugene Carlson; children, Susan (Alan) Meilach, David (Donna) Carlson, Lori (Michael) Carlson-Smith; grandchildren, Christine and Stephanie Meilach; greatgrandchildren, Isabella and Odysseus; sister, Valdene Hodapp; many loving nieces and nephews.

Jason to take the controls under close supervision. “I never had the ying bug like he did. Ever since I was a little kid, he’s always had an airplane.â€? Jim and Dianna jointly worked on recovering the poly-ďŹ ber skin and restoring small aircraft. They would make sure the frame of aircraft met the manufacturer’s speciďŹ cations. Jim would work on frames and mechanical needs of aircraft, Dianna would handle the polyďŹ ber material, preparing it for painting. “We were a team,â€? she said. They both had the skills and disposition for the work. Drometer was an ironworker. He had worked on crews that helped build the IDS Tower in Minneapolis the late-1960s until it opened in 1973. She worked for Donaldson Company in Eagan, making mufers for air-handling systems. When the company laid off most its workers in the early-1980s, Dianna tried her hand at cosmetology, but never really liked the work all that much. Working sometimes several hundred feet off the ground with equipment and materials measured in tons rather than pounds, Jim feared catastrophe. That concern and a passion for aircraft made starting Aircraft Restoration Supplies a natural ďŹ t. Working on aircraft seemed a far enjoyable more profession. As a pilot himself, it gave Jim more exposure to being around aircraft and other pilots. Sam Niskanen lived just a few miles from the airstrip. He worked with Jim and Dianna for about ďŹ ve years after leaving the motorcycle business. Niskanen said Drometer was a wealth of knowledge plenty of pilots looked to when their aircraft wasn’t operating just right. Niskanen said Drometer was especially knowledgeable with Piper Cub aircraft, small two-seaters powered by 65-90 horsepower motors or larger. Drometer won awards for his expertise at the renowned Oshkosh Air Show. “People would always be stopping by. It really was a fun place to be,â€? he said. “I learned a tremendous amount working with Jim.â€? Niskanen enjoyed the friendly atmosphere at your the small airstrip.

stant ow of people,� Niskanen said.

Like Landing on a Cloud

The airstrip was built in June of 1966 on the old Newell family farm that dates back to the 1860s, Minar said. The turf runway is listed at 2,546 feet long and 125 feet wide. The grass makes for far softer landings than compared to concrete runways. Jim kept the runway in immaculate shape. “He kept it like a fairway,â€? she said. “It’s like landing on a cloud.â€? Hangars were on the property but all but one was eventually removed after a storm battered the buildings. A concrete pad indicating their location remains. A small building just south of the house served as an informal ‘terminal’ where pilots gathered before Jim and Dianna bought the airstrip to spend time talking ying, aircraft or the topic de jour. It collapsed from effects of weathering and was eventually taken down in the early-2000s, she said. They met in October of 1980 at a hay wagon party Drometer had arranged in Hamel. He was living in Bloomington at the time. She lived in New Market. The two were quickly attracted to one another. But before they could go out on a date, Minar had to pass a test. But he couldn’t let her know it was a test. Their ďŹ rst date was to go ying. “We just ew around. It was a blast,â€? she said. Years later, Dianna found out about the ‘test.’ “As long as I passed the test, it was a go.â€? Minar enjoys living near the airport, but knows it’s time to sell. Caring for the property takes more time and energy than she has available for it. She wants to see the airstrip reopened. “It’s time to let someone else enjoy the aviation life. This is Jim’s dream. I didn’t have the aviation blood in me,â€? Dianna said.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Parishioners of Our Lady of the Prairie Church were invited to an Open House Sunday morning at the former Sacred Heart Church and Rectory. A committee was seeking ideas for disposition of the property. The new Belle Plaine Fire Hall would be dedicated with an open house on Saturday, May 2 from 3-6 p.m. Ray Ahrens would be providing music and there would be free pop, coffee and cookies, as well as balloons for the kids. Construction of the $300,000 building began in October of 1985 and ďŹ remen moved vehicles and other equipment into it in November of 1986. The 30-man department donated time each Monday evening for over a year to complete the interior construction. Belle Plaine police were looking into three burglary/breakins that had recently occurred. In one of the incidences, an intruder was seen in the junior high building during the earlymorning hours of April 16 and ed shortly after being seen by custodian Ed Mueller, who did not get a good look at the person. The Belle Plaine School Board was in the process of interviewing the ďŹ nal six candidates to replace Dr. John Bartholow as school superintendent. Fiftythree people had applied for the job. It was expected that 3.5 million people would drive to Scott County to visit one of its major recreational attractions in 1987, which was starting to put a bur-

den on county services such as jails, courts, public safety, highways and bridges, human services, land use and planning, and environmental protection. For that reason, the Scott County Board passed a resolution to request authority from the state legislature to tax admissions to major recreational attractions in Scott County, including Canterbury Downs and Valley Fair, etc. The city of Shakopee let it be known that it was opposed to the admission tax and would send a representative to appear before the tax committee to protest the tax. A committee was attempting to come up with some ideas for the disposition of the former Sacred Heart Church, rectory and adjoining block of land. The rectory had not been used by Our Lady of the Prairie since the two churches merged. The Belle Plaine High School baseball team won two of three games that week, beating Le Center, 11-1, and Le Sueur, 8-2, and losing to Montgomery, 10-6. Against Le Center, John Bergs and Jim Buesgens both hit two-run homers, which were followed later by a grand slam by Jeff Johnson. The Tiger softball team edged Mankato Loyola, 6-5. Sophomore Bev Wynne hit a basesloaded home run, while Julie • Small Business Consulting • Commercial &

Halquist also homered and Jan Schultz tripled. The BPHS boys’ track and ďŹ eld team won a three-team meet at Jordan with 67 points. Le Center scored 58 1/2 points and Jordan 49 1/2. Individual winners for the Tigers were Galen Krecklau in the 100 dash, David Jeffrey in the discus, Scott Hennen in the shot put, Paul Murphy in the 1600 run, Mike Zellman in the 800 run, Brian Wolff in the long jump, Scott Wawrzyniak in the 200 dash and Rick Zellman in the 3200 run. The Tiger girls’ track and ďŹ eld team took fourth place at the eight-team Delano Tiger Relays.

60 Years Ago (1957)

Herb Kosmen was selected by the Quarterback Club as the most valuable Belle Plaine senior athlete. All-district awards were presented to Dick O’Brien, Ralph Zellman, Fran Farrell, Roger Hoelz and Phil Hespenheide. Theodore Mellgren, 67, died in Seattle, Wash. He was a brother of Walter Mellgren, Mrs. Oscar Brahee and Mrs. Ben Hallgren. The Belle Plaine Farmers Creamery entered into the feed business. The association took on the Midland co-op line and set up a store in the Lockrem building above the bowling alley, which was formerly occupied by Matt’s Variety. William Rusch Sr. was managing the store. Dr. C. Warren Hallgren, son of the late Carl Hallgren, purchased the dental practice of Dr. Spear at Shakopee. Dr. Spear retired to specialize in orthodontics in Minneapolis. Lee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lynch, took third place in the Big Ten debate tournament. Lee and other Minnesota debaters made the trip to the Univer-

ing a farm census. John McCue died at the age of 69 at his home in Minneapolis, where he had moved to after retirement from his farm. His remains were brought to Belle Plaine for burial. Joseph Neisen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Matt Neisen of Belle Plaine Township, and Miss Elizabeth Feda of Carlos, were married and they established their home on a farm near Carlos. For the ďŹ rst time, Minnesota residents were required to buy a ďŹ shing license to ďŹ sh in their own lakes. The fee was 50 cents with a $1 license to cover the whole family. One of our oldest pioneer settlers at Union Hill died that week in the person of Mrs. John Etten, 84. She had come with her parents when they took a homestead in 1855 a mile south of Union Hill. The senior class play, “Stop Thief,â€? had a record attendance of 750. Members of the cast were Ursula Frank, Laure Williams, Mabel Tengblad, Margaret Hoye, Edwin Schultz, Oliver Kahle, Raymond Anderson, Ted Mahler, Ronald Effertz, Daniel Sullivan, Michael Moriarty, Ervin Blume, Gordon Oster, Herman Ashauer, Thomas Hert and Fred Tolzman.

A man in town with a wagonload of potatoes found it difďŹ cult to sell them at only 18 cents a bushel. A meeting was called for the purpose of adopting a city charter for Belle Plaine. The “Henriettaâ€? steamed up the river again and planned to run excursions between St. Peter and Mankato while the water was high. Members of the Lutheran congregation in the German Settlement got up a ďŹ ne celebration for their pastor, Rev. W. Buehling, in honor of the 25th anniversary of his ordination. At the opening of the baseball season, the Belle Plaine band headed the parade to the ball park. Gasta and Werrick were the battery for Belle Plaine, Nolden and Jackson for Jordan. That Saturday was a lively day in Belle Plaine. A steamboat brought 159 excursionists from Chaska and Carver with a band. The Belle Plaine band came out to welcome the visitors. There was also an Italian traveling band in town and it was monthly fair day. Joseph Fisher, street commissioner, had a salary of $1.25 per day when actually employed. The marshal’s salary was set at $45 a month.

Montgomery Messenger: The Montgomery Fire Department was called to the Albert Pexa farm, northwest of Pepin Lake, April 1949…. Sparked a memory. Reportedly caused by the sawdust from sanding wooden window blinds during the day. Mayme, my grandma, awoke to hearing crackling in the attic. Albert, Grandpa, investigated to find the second floor landing filled with thick smoke. He drove to Krihas for help. Neighbors came and started hauling furniture from the house. The seven-year-old home was saved and restored, but always had the scent of smoke upstairs in the attic and bedrooms. It was destiny, years later, it burned to the ground. Have a good week!

Temps hovering around 75 degrees with full sun at race time made for an even tougher run, but made crossing the finish line all the more satisfying for her and all the field of approximately 28,000 runners. Smith finished the marathon in 4 hours, 32 minutes, 40 seconds. Smith’s husband, Dan, traveled with her to Boston, and they were able to take in a few sights as well.

Humor Corner: A husband and wife were driving through Louisiana. As they approached Natchitoches, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the city’s name. They bickered back and forth until they stopped for lunch. At the counter, the husband asked the cashier, “Could you settle an argument for us? Would you pronounce where we are very slowly?” “Burr-gerr Kiiing.”

The Lutheran Home Honors Sibley County Board Seeking Volunteers at Friday Luncheon Funding for Court Security The Lutheran Home Belle Plaine Campus will celebrate its volunteers at a luncheon Friday (April 28). In the last year, volunteers gave more than 1,700 hours to the ministries of health care and housing on the campus. Three local residents in particular will be in the spotlight for their service —Carman Meyer, Dean Jones and Barb Vatthauer. The highlight of Vatthauer’s week is the Wednesday morning chapel service at Kingsway Retirement Living, where she plays piano. “The people at Kingsway are so kind and they’re so fun to get to know. I just love visiting there,� said Vatthauer, a former employee of The Lutheran Home who had many roles with the organization over 25 years. She accompanies memorial services and other events on The Lutheran Home Belle Plaine campus, and lends a hand with many activities. Her husband drives the Kingsway bus. The couple lives one block from The Lutheran Home. “Barb brings a lot of joy wherever she goes, whether it’s with her music or her friendly smile. We’re honored she chooses to share her time and talents with us,� said Vlada Gladis, Life Enrichment manager at Kingsway Retirement Living.

Jones has been preparing the monthly e-newsletter at Hope Residence for nearly a year now. A retired marketing executive, he was interested in learning and taking on new challenges in his volunteer work. Jones got to know the team at Hope while his wife, Mary, was a resident next door at The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine. Mary passed away last year, and following her loss, he was grateful for a reason to get out of the house, get involved with other people and do something useful at Hope. “It’s work I enjoy – editing and working with graphic layouts on the computer. Even more, I enjoy the environment, a place filled with kindness and loving care,� Jones said. Hope Residence Director of Disability Services Debra Wilbright appreciates Jones’s cheerful willingness to help: “Dean’s inquisitiveness, skill set and quick wit are a blessing to have here at Hope Residence!� Meyer retired a decade ago, but every week she’s back at her former workplace. She didn’t want to leave Eunice. The pair met when Eunice moved to The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine with her dad in 1977. “When Eunice’s dad died, she was so down and out. She had

no family, and I kind of adopted her,� said Meyer, who was a beautician at The Lutheran Home for more than 30 years. Now Meyer comes to The Lutheran Home four days a week. She leads bingo on Mondays and meets Eunice on the weekends for doughnuts and a visit. Carman has always loved older adults, and is happy to hand out beverages at a party for residents or help steer a wheelchair in the right direction. “Carman is a volunteer we can always count on. If we need her, she’s there,� said Sara Hentges, RN, ACO and Admissions director at The Lutheran Home. “And her constant care for Eunice, their friendship, is really inspiring.� The volunteer luncheon at The Lutheran Home coincides with National Volunteer Week April 23-29. Established in 1974, National Volunteer Week is an initiative of Points of Light, the world’s largest organization dedicated to volunteer service. The week is an opportunity to recognize and thank volunteers who lend their time, talent, voice and support to causes they care about in their community. Thousands of volunteer projects and special events are scheduled throughout the week.

New Prague’s Historic Hotel Broz Sold to Minneapolis Firm The Caspian Group of Minneapolis is the latest owner of the historic Hotel Broz in New Prague. The company bought the hotel from Dobri Pratele, LLC – a partnership of Tasha and Eric Kallal and Darcy and Jay Schoenbeck of New Prague and Marina and Dan McGuire of Montgomery, the New Prague

Times recently reported. The group bought the hotel from Anna and Dr. Marty Herrmann in December of 2015. Caspian Group specializes in developing underutilized properties to their full potential. The company aims to reopen the historic hotel and operate it as a hotel/restaurant, according to a press release. Caspian Group

is looking for an operator interested in operating the kitchen and/or hotel. The hotel was designed by Cass Gilbert and built in 1898. It reached the zenith of its popularity in the 1980s and 1990s under the ownership of John Schumacher, who is known for his Czech and wild game recipes.

Incumbents Prevail in MVEC Elections The face of leadership on the Minnesota Valley Electricity Cooperative (MVEC) board of directors won’t be changing after voters returned directors seeking re-election to the board. Michelle Morrison of Faxon Township (District 2) and Fran Barten of Helena Township (District 3) were re-elected easily. Brent Lawrence of Credit River Township (District 1) defeated former Scott County Commissioner Barbara Marschall of Prior Lake, 643 to 339. Lawrence will remain as the board’s president. Morrison will also continue to serve as the board’s secretary. In a cost-saving measure, the MVEC board decided to continue paying a private vendor to continue the option of electronic voting instead of mailing ballots to every customer in the private election.

levels of security. We have none to very little,� she said. The key cards would also allow employees to enter the building before and after normal work hours. It would also allow the county to track who is entering the building after hours, Traxler told the county board. The plan includes re-keying doors to a uniform key. “Right now, it’s kind of hard to tell who has keys and who doesn’t,� she said. Another facet of the proposal involves emergency exits for court staff. Glass partitions are proposed for the court administration, probation and treasurer’s offices. The glass partitions will not be bulletproof. “We’re not going high-end. We’re just trying to create the physical barrier,� Traxler said. Messner said her staff has faced people with permits to carry handguns pounding their fists on counters and yelling at them. “All we have is a panic but-

ton,� she said. “But sometimes, that barrier is just enough to diffuse what they might do.� County staff came up with the proposed improvements after a tour of the court administration and courts earlier this year. Deputies from Carver County will be helping Sibley County write policies and procedures for enhanced security in the courts area at no cost, Traxler said. Sibley County’s share of the grant would come from capital improvement reserves fund. The work, assuming a successful grant, will be timed to coincide with improvements the county will be implementing on the courthouse. The state court system has $1 million in will be allocating to county district courts via the grant system, Traxler said. If the application is declined, she will discuss with commissioners working funding for security upgrades into the county’s budget over the next few years.

Carver County OKs Maintaining Fight With AIS in Lakes

Carver County will be continuing its ongoing battle against zebra mussels and other aquatic invasive species this spring and summer now that the county board has approved another year’s worth of funding for the program at county lakes. DNR inspectors will be stationed at public access points at county lakes beginning next month and running through September. They will be looking for forms of AIS on boats and watercraft. The program commits $400,000 in funding for inspection and education. County prevention aid covers 37 percent of the funding, the Waconia

Patriot recently reported. Commissioner Jim Ische of Hancock Township questioned whether the money is well spent. Ische, who cast the lone vote against continued participation in the program, isn’t certain the investment has made a significant difference in preventing the spread of AIS. If forms of AIS are in lakes, inspectors want to find them early to thwart spread to other lakes, said Andrew Dickhart of the county’s planning and water management department. DNR-issued tags are available to prove watercraft and boats have been inspected.

South of the River Yellow Ribbon Meeting May 2 Beyond the Yellow Ribbon South of the River (BTYR) will be meeting on Tuesday May 2 in the lower level of the Prior Lake VFW Club from 7 to 8:15 p.m. Beyond the Yellow Ribbon – South of the River is a community effort to honor, serve and support all military families,

Aiming to improve the safety under which district court staff works, the Sibley County Board approved a grant application seeking funding for security improvements in district court. The board unanimously approved at its March 28 meeting a grant application to the state court system for almost $38,000. The county’s share of the grant, including staff time, is $41,700. The county expects to learn the fate of its application by the end of June, said Sibley County Administrator Roxy Traxler. The proposal Sibley County is planning is budgeted at $79,400. The money would pay for key cards for about a dozen doors and locks to secure court offices, judges chambers and clerk’s offices, conference rooms and a jury room. “In this day and age, the need is definitely there,� said Karen Messner, administrator of Sibley County District Court. Thanks to emergency management grant funding within the past year, the court administration area has some cameras to monitor the comings and goings of people in the district court area who have been involved in emotionally charged family court or criminal court cases. “Most courthouses have some

Collection Day in Green Isle With the help of city public works staff and the city’s solid waste hauler, Waste Management, dozens of Green Isle residents stopped by the public works garage for city’s annual spring cleanup day Saturday (April 22). Residents disposed of household items and other goods for no cost or a small fee, depending on the item. The event is so popular an additional roll-off bin was needed.

Jordan Hotel-Clancy’s Expansion Plan Still on Hold The Jordan City Council granted the developers of a project to build a hotel and expand Clancy’s bar and grill an extension to the site plan and conditional-use permit for the project. The request for a oneyear extension was based on the expectation ďŹ nancing for the project would arrive soon. Council members didn’t buy it.

DNR Says Walleye Stamps Support Better Fishing Here Anglers can support walleye stocking by purchasing $5 walleye stamps that help the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) provide more places to ďŹ sh for walleye. “You can buy a walleye stamp any time of the year, even if you already have a ďŹ shing license,â€? said Neil Vanderbosch, DNR ďŹ sheries program consultant. “All the funds from walleye stamps go toward the cost of purchasing walleye from private ďŹ sh farms for stocking into lakes.â€? The overall walleye stocking effort ramps up each year in April when ďŹ sheries staff collect walleye eggs, fertilize them and transport the eggs to ďŹ sh hatcheries around Minnesota. The eggs spend two

to three weeks incubating before hatching into fry that are soon released – two-thirds into lakes and one third into rearing ponds. The ďŹ sh in rearing ponds grow into 4- to 6-inch ďŹ ngerlings that are stocked into lakes in the fall. In addition to raising and stocking walleye, the DNR also buys walleye ďŹ ngerlings from private producers to be stocked into lakes, and walleye stamp sales help pay for these ďŹ sh. Since 2009, funds from the walleye stamp have purchased over 40,000 pounds of walleye ďŹ ngerlings that have been stocked in the fall, all over the state. Walleye are stocked in lakes that don’t have naturally reproducing walleye populations.

“Just about anywhere you go in Minnesota, there’s a lake fairly close by where you can ďŹ sh for walleye,â€? Vanderbosch said. “To decide what lakes and how many ďŹ sh to stock, we look at available habitat, prey and past stocking success, and make individual lake management plans that guide stocking decisions.â€? Anglers catch the lion’s share of walleye from waters where the ďŹ sh reproduce naturally – about 260 larger walleye lakes and in large rivers. Because of stocking, walleye can be found in an additional 1,300 Minnesota lakes spread throughout the state. More information about habitat stamps can be found at mndnr.gov/stamps

Mn/DOT May Pull Parking From Hwy. 41 in Downtown Chaska

For years, parking along Highway 41 in downtown Chaska has been part of the charm of the roadway through the city’s downtown area. But in the name of moving more trafďŹ c through the area efďŹ ciently and economically, that tradition may come to an end. The Minnesota Department of Transportation is considering a proposal to reconďŹ gure Highway 41 through downtown as a three-lane roadway. One lane will head north, the other south. A center lane will be used for turns, the Chaska Herald recently reported.

The city council recently discussed the proposal during a workshop. The councilors in attendance seemingly liked the proposal. The $15 million plan would remove 39 parking spaces from along Highway 41 in the downtown area. It would include an underpass belong the highway at 41’s intersection with County Road 61 (old Highway 212) and add new parking space near an existing municipal lot to replace the lost spots on Highway 41.

Sibley County sheriff’s deputies will soon have the tools to help locate lost persons who live with autism or down syndrome, thanks to a state grant. The Sibley County Sheriff’s OfďŹ ce recently received a $4,000 grant from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety to purchase a radio-frequency based locating system from Project Lifesaver International. The equipment will help ďŹ nd lost persons wearing a personalized wristband emitting an individualized radio frequency. The wristbands are available to Project Lifesaver enrollees. Deputies were trained in the use of the equipment as well as how to approach lost persons of all ages who live with down syndrome or autism. The training included techniques to keep the persons at ease so deputies can bring them home once they have been located with the assistance of the Project Lifesaver equipment. The bracelet is powered by a 1-ounce battery with an aroundthe-clock 30-day lifespan. The signal can be traced for one mile on the ground, ďŹ ve miles by air.

It is up to the individual to decide when to begin receiving Social Security beneďŹ ts. A person can take a reduced beneďŹ t as early as age 62. Or, a former employee can claim a full beneďŹ t at what the Social Security Administration considers to be full retirement age, which, for example, is 66 for anyone born between 1943 and 1954. Otherwise, a person can wait until age 70 for yet a larger beneďŹ t. Bear in mind that, once you elect to receive a reduced beneďŹ t, you remain at that level for the rest of your life (with normal cost-of-living increases). The longer you are apt to live, the more you beneďŹ t from waiting for the larger check. The current generation of retirees is more likely than the last generation to have active retirement years ďŹ lled with a mix of travel, sports, and education. How will you spend your retirement years, and how can you fund those years? Social Security may ďŹ ll only a limited amount of your ďŹ nancial demands.
