Community Club wants you!
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,

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,

Ireland. 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.

The Salvation Army Food Shelf in Montgomery receives a lot of help from volunteers
every week. 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

County officials talk
business at monthly meeting
Wade Young
Editor
Officials from Le Sueur
County cities and the county
talked to legislators and discussed current projects at the
county officials association
meeting on Thursday, Feb.
28, in Montgomery.
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.

to donate directly to the
Montgomery Food Shelf at
105 3rd St. NW. 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.

Opinion
Sunshine Week
March 10 to 16, 2013
Open government is good government
Sunshine Week is a national initiative to promote a dialogue about
the importance of open government and freedom of information. 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.”

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.

Curtain Call Theatre enters state festival
Wade Young
Editor
Curtain Call Theatre has
been entertaining audiences
in the Montgomery, Lonsdale, New Prague area for
more than 19 years. 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.

Rynda also added, “I could
not be prouder or happier

This team's success is a testament to the type of kids making up this group.”

support throughout the year,
and added if future seasons

look up for the TCU teams.
“The road ahead is long
and difficult, but if this season is any indication, the future does show promise,” 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.
