MACC to hold membership drives Wade Young Editor The Montgomery Area Community Club that organizes the annual Kolacky Days Festival and the Torchlight Parade and Fireworks and scholarships, is looking for members. The organization is holding two membership drives at Franke’s Bakery, on Saturday, March 16 and 23, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days. Membership to MACC is different than past years when individuals or businesses could be a member. The group changed it to a $10 individual membership because they are hoping to get more community members involved. “We thought this would reach out to all individuals,” said Community Club board member Maureen Franek. She added that the organization is also looking at business memberships in the future, but haven’t ironed out all those details yet. “We are going to do a separate drive for the businesses,” she said. “That will be happening in the next month or so.” If a business owner wants to sign up their employees, Franek said they are welcome to do so, but that it would just be as individual memberships. Button bonus As a bonus for signing up for the individual membership drive, each membership will also receive this year’s Kolacky Days button as a thank you from the Community Club. “I really hope the public likes the idea of the button and kolacky as a thank you for supporting the Community Club,” Franek said. “We’re really trying to start fresh and hope to get a lot of people on board.” Information and membership forms were sent this week to residents living in the 56069 zip code. If you did not receive yours, or if you have questions, contact MACC board members, President Marc Peterson, Dennis Lambrecht, Dawn Anderson, Tony Jelinek, Jean Franke, Rhonda Solberg, Ken Pavek, Maureen Franek, Lisa Schroeder and Carol Kiekow. Wade Young Editor Matt Helgerson, the superintendent for Tri-City United Schools, has been announced as one of the three finalists for the superintendent job of the Jordan School District and a semi-finalist for New TCU SuperPrague Area intendent Schools. Matt In Jordan, Helgerson the other two candidates are Gary Anger, an elementary school principal for Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan Public Schools, and Teri Preisler, an associate director of instructional technology for Owatonna Public Schools. According to the newspaper, Jordan Independent, the final three will have a public interview starting March 12 to 14. Helgerson is slated to present on Thursday, March. 14. Jordan Schools hired Ed Waltman, a shared services consultant with the South Central Service Cooperative, to help search for a new superintendent to replace outgoing Kirk Nelson. Waltman had also worked with the Montgomery-Lonsdale District to help find a superintendent when Dr. Corey Lunn left in 2011. Waltman had again also worked with the M-L and Le Center School Districts during TCU’s infancy. On the eve of the consolidation vote, the M-L school board hired Helgerson to replace Lunn on April 28, 2011. Helgerson was at the time, a co-superintendent/high school principal for the Le Center District. The M-L board hired him to lead the district and share the position with Le Center during the consolidation process. The TCU District, then hired Helgerson as its super- intendent once the consolidation was official. In an email on Friday, Helgerson said he became aware of the opportunities through a search firm, a common method used by school districts to find superintendents. Helgerson said these are both professional opportunities that intrigue him, but at this point he has not made a decision as to what he would do if offered a position. Helgerson also forwarded to the Messenger an email that he sent to the school staff and board telling them he is looking at the positions: “Recently two superintendent positions (Jordan and New Prague) were posted and intrigued me. As many of you know, I spent most of my teaching career in Jordan, and my wife is a teacher in New Prague and my children attend school there. I have spent a great deal of time contemplating whether or not I would apply for these professional opportunities. Due to the above mentioned factors, I have decided to explore the opportunities in these two districts. They both present career challenges for me. “It is a difficult decision to pursue these opportunities as I am proud of what we have accomplished at TCU and know that the future is bright. I am proud to be the superintendent of a district that has been and will continue to be progressive and forward thinking.” Helgerson said the decision is very difficult for him, and that at this point, he is “exploring opportunities.” “TCU is progressing nicely, and that makes it a difficult decision as to what I will do should I face an offer from another district,” he said. Helgerson has a contract with TCU through June 30, 2014, however it may be terminated by mutual consent. Arts & Heritage to honor Russell Clan Wade Young Editor This year’s honorees for the Arts and Heritage annual St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast are familiar faces to Montgomery. The Russell Clan includes Kathleen Russell and her sister Maureen Gunderson, both of Montgomery. The sisters are the daughters of Jane (Wells) and Gordon Russell, both descendants' of the Emerald Isle. Maureen said they do not know much about their mother's family, except that Jane’s parents and grandparents all were born and raised in different areas of Wisconsin. Her great-great grandparents came from Ireland and farmed in Wisconsin. Jane passed away in 1988 from cancer. “Our dad (Gordon) was the historian and did much research on his family,” Maureen said. Maureen said Gordon’s grandfather, Patrick Russell hailed from Templemore, Arts & Heritage Center Annual St. Pat's Day Breakfast Sunday, March 17, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the American Legion Club.

When he was 14years-old, he sailed with his father and three brothers and two sisters to Quebec, Canada, and then via the St. Laurence to Montreal. Milwaukee was the destination, where Patrick’s father had other relatives who farmed on 80 acres northwest of Milwaukee in an area that reminded them of Ireland, and is now called Holy Hill. When he was 20-years-old Patrick, a brother and three friends went to St Louis, MO where they made railroad ties for the Southern Pacific Railroad. After returning to Milwaukee when he was 28years-old in 1857, he married Mary Martin. Ten years later, with six children in tow, they moved to Fredricksburg, Iowa to farm. There, they had four more children, one of whom was Maureen and Kathleen’s grandfather, George. George grew up and married Anna Mae Shinners, also from Iowa in 1909. They resided in Milwaukee, and had one son Gordon, who was Maureen and Kathleen’s father. Maureen said her father’s dream was to take his children to Ireland. “Dad had been there twice with my mom and researched his family and found the family farm,” Maureen said. “Apparently one sibling of Patrick's stayed in Ireland when they came to the States.

Some of those volunteers come from Most Holy Redeemer who help move stock from the basement to the main floor staging area where more volunteers process it for the shopping shelves. On Friday, the eighth graders who helped with this job were (from left) Will Urtuzuastequi, Kyle Hintz, Brianna Rutt, Kaylee Reeder, Emily Barnett and Joshua Ramirez. Donations needed for MN FoodShare Month Lori Nickel Staff Writer March is Minnesota FoodShare Month, a very important time for food shelves since this annual food drive raises more than half the food distributed by the 300 participating food shelves statewide. Food Shelf Coordinator Renee Southworth emphasized how important this campaign is to the Salvation Army Montgomery Food Shelf which provides food to over 100 households in the Montgomery area every month. On average, 8,677 pounds of food is collected, stocked and used by local families each and every month. Although giving to the food shelf is important any time of the year, donating in March gives food shelves a See Food Shelf, Page 2 The full service family clinic you’ve been waiting for.

The monthly event included officials from the cities of Kilkenny, Elysian, Le Center, Montgomery, New Prague, Waterville, as well as Le Sueur County. Starting the evening were legislative updates by Senator Kevin Dahle (DFL, District 20) and State Representative Kelby Woodard (R, District 20A). Dahle spoke about the budget forecast and the $627 million deficit, the governor’s philosophy, how the state is relying too much on property taxes, and how cuts to local government aid hurts cities. Woodard, in his second term but first time representing Le Sueur County, talked about paying back the delayed payments to schools, the governor’s budget plans. Questions to the legislators came about the sales/clothing tax. Woodard is not in favor, while Dahle has not heard a lot on the subject. Both also talked about property tax equalization and market value exclusion. The second part of the meeting consisted of each visiting Le Sueur County officials highlighting what is going on in their community. Le Center spoke about the new Dollar General being constructed this year and the assessment lawsuit that is set for the end of April. New Prague spoke about finding a new public works director, and a major street project slated for this year. Kilkenny Mayor Kevin Taaffe, Jr. asked Dahle if Kilkenny would ever be big enough to warrant a large directional sign on highways that would tell people where Kilkenny is located. “We’re a great little town, that I feel is in its infancy,” Taaffe said. “We have a lot of families moving in because it’s cheap living.” Dahle offered to help and gave the Mayor his card. The Senator said he would talk to the Minnesota Department of Transportation about getting Kilkenny a directional sign. Taaffe said his city is also in the process of setting up an Economic Development Authority that would set up some services in the town. Elysian reported on its contentious camp ground issue, as well as the departure of that city’s Public Works Director. Waterville reported on the snowmobile association working on the Highway 13 bridge, their wastewater treatment plant, and celebrating the 50th anniversary of Sakatah State Park. Montgomery reported on the public hearing for its assessment policy, and the search for a new public works director. City Administrator Steve Helget said the city received only three applications for the position and was hoping to have a good candidate out of those. He also reported on working with Le Center and Lonsdale, the other two cities in the Tri-City United School District, on a Safe Routes to School Grant.

In addition to food, the food shelf also accepts monetary donations which allow them to purchase directly from food banks at a much lower cost. Southworth added that toiletry and hygiene items like diapers, soap, shampoo and toilet paper are also in demand. "Know that your donation will feed the hearts and souls of those who need it most," she commented. Other donations sites in town are Most Holy Redeemer and St. John Lutheran churches and all donations stay in the community. Volunteering at the Montgomery Food Shelf is another way to make a difference. Quite often there are several boxes and bags of donated items that need to be examined for expiration dates, sorted, weighed and finally placed on the shelves. Southworth said that the Montgomery Food Shelf averages 168 volunteer hours each month and more are always needed. For more information, call her at 507-3647321. Food Shelf work days are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. and the Food Shelf is open to those who need it each Tuesday from 4-6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon.

Participants include news media, civic groups, libraries, nonprofits, schools and others interested in the public’s right to know. Need for open government has never been greater Charles Hill Michigan Coalition for Open Government It’s your government. And it’s your money that’s paying for it. You deserve to know how that money is being spent and whether waste, fraud, corruption, conflicts of in- Charles Hill terest or just bad decisionmaking is getting in the way of the results you expect for your money. Customers every day demand accountability from the people who remodel their houses, serve them food, fix their cars, or sell them a TV or a computer. People demand their money’s worth, especially when money is as tight as it is today. Citizens should demand the same accountability — and more — of their government. Are children being educated in a way that helps them succeed in life for their own good and the good of their fellow citizens? Are the accused treated fairly by police and judges? Are people getting the public safety and other services they should be? Are contracts being awarded to those best equipped to provide a good service at a reasonable price or to a company that costs too much and delivers too little but was chosen for improper reasons? Are people who truly need help getting that help? Journalists work hard to find answers those questions and many more. So do parents. So do people who use and pay for government services. Some good public servants provide that information readily. But often the search for answers is an uphill battle because other government officials prefer to operate in private so they can do what they want without as much oversight, sometimes because they have something to hide, sometimes because they think it’s more efficient or easier to operate in secret. And they have government resources to use against the efforts, while news organizations and citizens face shrinking budgets even as what’s at stake in the fight between government openness and government secrecy grows. Now, journalists and citizens have a new ally in their fight for open government, the Michigan Coalition for Open Government. MiCOG is being launched officially this week during Sunshine Week, which is observed each year to promote open government and freedom of information. The mission of MiCOG is to promote and protect transparency and accountability in the governments at the local, state and federal levels. Its efforts will include creating educational programs and information to help guide citizens interested in open government. And, importantly, the coalition also can help get funding for lawsuits by citizens and the media who are fighting for more public access and against violations of the state Freedom of Information Act and the Open Meeting Act. The coalition will review requests for help, and can nominate them for funding from the National Freedom of Information Coalition, which has $2 million to help pay for open access lawsuits. Remember — it’s your government and your money that is paying for it. You deserve to know what your government is doing and you can be a part of making that possible. (Charles Hill is the former Michigan Associated Press Chief of Bureau and sits on the board of the Michigan Coalition for Open Government.) Planning for next year at TCU High School It is that time in the school year where we start looking ahead and preparing for the next school year, 2013-14, in this case. The secondary level course registration is now upon us for next year's 9th to 12th grade TCU High School students who have received their course guide book and course registration grade-level sheet. The course registration guide is full of course descriptions and the parameters for the programs that we offer here on campus, like the Concurrent Enrollment Program where a junior or senior can take courses in the English Language Arts, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Health Sciences Departments for both high school and college credit. These students can leave the high school setting with around a full year's worth of college credits. The high school has partnerships in concurrent enrollment programs with University of Minnesota - Twin Cities campus / College-In- At Most Holy Redeemer School, the Messenger asked: Why do you think it’s important to give to the food shelf? Kyle Hintz New Prague “It helps other people that can’t afford food for their family.” Kaylee Reeder Montgomery “It’s something we should all do.” Emily Barnett Kilkenny “I feel good when I give to others, when they need help.” Joshua Ramirez Montgomery “Some people are less fortunate that we are and need help.” Montgomery Messenger Established in 1888 Published every Thursday by Suel Printing Co., Inc.

A new program -- Project Lead The Way (PLTW) -- is on the horizon as well. We are patiently waiting to hear back from PLTW on our $35,000 three-year grant application. PLTW has shared that we should know by midMarch if this grant will be awarded to TCU. If we do get awarded the grant, we plan to have in place for next fall the Principles of Engineering (POE) course, which ninth grade students in Accelerated Algebra II will take in place of the regular ninth grade science courses. As you have most likely read about in past editions, the high school is also moving forward on its Agriscience Career Academy. The Ag Sci Department is working on connecting with our area ag businesses to start discussions about partnerships between them and the school. Another component of this career academy is looking at natural resources as well and also developing programming in this area. Online course registration will take place on March 14 and 15 for current 9th to 11th grade students, with current 8th graders turning in their paper copy of the 2013-14 courses that they want to register for by March 15 as well. Year number two of TCU is right around the corner. Feel free to contact any one of us at the school where your young person attends, or will be attending, with your questions or comments. As always, we are here to assist you with your student's educational needs and wants.

On March 16, the theatre group will perform its first entry in The Minnesota Association of Community Theatre (MACT). MACT presents an adjudicated play festival in odd numbered years for 10 community theatre companies from across Minnesota. The productions are not fulllength pieces, and must follow certain rules: • Productions can be cuttings from full-length play or musical. • Productions cannot exceed 60 minutes. A total of 10 minutes are allowed for each setup and set strike. • The set must fit into a 10foot-by-10-foot space. The play Curtain Call is presenting is “The Great Nursing Home Escape”. Veteran Curtain Call Director Andy Velishek has been rehearsing since December Lori Nickel Photo The cast of Curtain Call Theatre’s “The Great Nursing Home Escape”, which will be an entry in the Minnesota Association of Community Theatre, includes (front, from left) Lauren Brooks, Rebecca Simon, Dylan Vilt, (back) Adam Pankow, Ava Hart, Amber Simon, Carly Berglund, Annabelle Daleiden and Kyle Yetzer. Not pictured: Alex Gregory with his cast, Kyle Yetzer, Amber Simon, Annabelle Daleiden, Carly Berglund, Adam Pankow, Becca Simon, Lauren Brooks and Dylan Vilt. The play is about a lockeddown nursing home, and during the dead of night, its residents attempt the greatest escape ever. Audiences will join this misfit band of “inmates” as they hatch a master plan to escape their dreary nursing home and find something far more important than a baseball game – they find their youth. Velishek said he chose the play because it is a great contrast to the youth who play the roles of older people. “This creates a great challenge for the kids to build a character that is unlike who they really are in real life,” he said. “I have done some improvisational activities with some of the kids during prior Curtain Call shows and the kids have attempted playing elderly people and shown great promise in their skills. And the show seemed to play well on societal beliefs about what happens in a nursing home, adding some great humor and outrageous action.” While there are some limitations to the production, Velishek said directing it hasn’t been very different from full shows that he has directed before. Only with the MACT Fest show, he is focusing more heavily on developing very specific characters. “We identified specific quirks and movements that make each character unique and spent much more time making the actor consistently showcase those character qualities,” he said. Velishek said the biggest challenge to the production is that the whole group is new to the MACT process. Luckily, Curtain Call has a board member, Larry Pint, who has served on the MACT Board of Directors for several years and was able to give Velishek and the cast some insight. The MACT Fest will be March 14 to 17 at North Hennepin Community College in Brooklyn Park. In addition to Curtain Call, other theatre groups from Minneapolis, Cloquet, Lakeville, Stillwater, Burnsville, Northfield, Duluth, and DasselCokato will participate. Curtain Call’s performance will be on Saturday, March 16, in the afternoon session, which starts at 12:30 p.m. The two winners of the MACT Fest will advance to the Region V festival, this year in Fargo, N.D. Montgomery Elementary students jump rope for heart Wade Young Editor Montgomery Elementary students jumped all over heart disease on Friday. They also hula hooped, hopscotched and worked on their physical education skills to fight the disease. Oh yes, they also raised more than $3,200 for the American Heart Association, which funds research, programs and education to fight heart disease and stroke, the nation’s number 1 and 4 killers. The Jump Rope for Heart was held during the students’ physical education classes. Teacher Adam Hanson incorporated the event into his curriculum by setting up dif- ferent stations in which the students rotated, a version of musical chairs. When the music stopped, everyone rotated to the next station, so by the end of the class everyone had participated in everything. Stations included single jump rope, double jump rope, hula hoops, criss-cross individual jump rope, and hop scotch. Jump Rope for Heart is co-sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. Before each class, Hanson made sure students knew why they were jumping rope to beat heart disease. “Why are we jumping rope?” he asked students. “To get exercise and exercise your heart, to raise money for people who have heart disease and for research to help doctors come up with medicines to fight heart disease, and to eat right and stay healthy.” He also reminded students other ways to stay healthy are to drink a lot of water and get enough sleep. Hanson said the participation of collecting pledges prior to the event was higher than in year’s past. “I know we had more stuWade Young Photo dents raise money than in the past, and more participants Flying high during the Jump Rope for Heart on Friday, March 8, is Natalie Korbitz than in the past,” he said.

Bail-Out Fish Fry funds Lonsdale fireworks Lori Nickel Staff Writer The fish fry held Friday, March 8, at the Lonsdale American Legion was much more than just dinner. Twelve well known community members volunteered to have Most Wanted posters with their faces on them hung around town leading up to the event. They were then "arrested" and put into a makeshift jail throughout the evening during the dinner. The Most Wanted were Lonsdale Telephone Company and Video Ventures staff, Lisa Reichelt, Alan Fitterer, Melissa Barnett, Terinee Stangler, Shannon Morsching, Rev. Ron Mixer, Dan Pumper, Fritz Duban, Phil Tisdel, Dan Hardel and Karmin Stanley. To be released, they each needed to post bail (a donation) of $500. Lonsdale Area Chamber of Commerce organizers are calling the annual Bail-Out a huge success as $8,500 was raised to support the July 3 fireworks display. Board member Jared Langhoff explained how there were many "firsts" to this year's fund raiser. "It was the first year karaoke was offered, thanks to Billy K.," he said. "And thanks to Lonsdale Telephone and Video Ventures, the event was shown live on television so viewers had the option to call-in donations, which brought in a couple hundred dollars." When the evening wrapped up, 350 dinners were sold and the Most Wanted participants were successful at raising their bail donations, all while providing entertainment for the crowd of diners. Some of the Most Wanted sang, one sold meat raffle tickets, one gave cookies to donors, and one auctioned off jewelry to raise the needed bail amount. Langhoff said that the fund raiser was so successful because of the great community support. "Not only did the Chamber Board and several members contribute, but many others in our community did as well," he said. "The Lonsdale Lions, The American Legion (especially cooks Sandy, Vanessa and Karen), the Lonsdale Fire Department, the Boy Scouts, Lonsdale Ambassadors, Mayor Tim Rud and other Lonsdale supporters were instrumental in keeping things running smoothly and making sure everything was taken care of. In addition, the 12 Lonsdale Most Wanted participants did an outstanding job raising bail money." Langhoff finished by saying Lonsdale will certainly have a spectacular July 3 Fireworks show this summer. Le Sueur County hires staff in sheriff’s dept. Jake Keohen Staff Writer The Le Sueur County Board approved the hiring of three part time jailer/dispatchers in the sheriff’s department during its regular meeting Tuesday, March 12. Human Resources Director Cindy Westerhouse recommended the hiring of Joshua Overmohle, Jessica Blackstad and Anna Contreras to the positions. She said the hiring of multiple part-timers was to fill vacancies and replenish the pool of employees to ensure a qualified workforce is available to access when the need arises. “Many times, part time employees move on to full time positions, and there are cases where employees need time away from their jobs to attend training or schooling to better themselves,” she added. The board also: —Was informed by County Administrator Darrel Pettis concerning Senate File 786 in the State Legislature, which relates to proposed silica sand legislation, including a moratorium on new or expanded mining. “Unimin has been good to Le Sueur County for many years, providing employment and carefully following all environmental regulations,” commented Board Chair Steve Rohlfing. The board went on record opposing S.F. 786. (Formerly MN Czech Country Expo).
