Council awards bid; lowers assessments
By Ken Francis
Staff Writer
The Clearwater City
Council
accomplished
three necessary goals
regarding the North Area
Reconstruction
Project
during Mondays council
meeting.
They amended the citys
special assessment policy.
They awarded the bid to do
the project, and they passed
a resolution for the sale of
$2,555,000 in General
Obligation Improvements
bonds to finance the project.
Amending the citys special assessment policy was
the first step after some
residents had taken issue
with the councils intent to
award the bid last meeting
without knowing how
much they would be paying in assessments.
Council had already
agreed they would use general fund money and water
utility funding to supplement the cost and reduce
the assessments from 48%
to approximately 22% of
the project cost. That, and
the fact that bids had come
in well under the engineers estimate prompted
the council to move quickly to award the bid.
But at the last meeting in
March, resident Dan
Niehoff told the council
that according to the citys
assessment policy, they
couldnt award the bid
until the assessments were
determined.
After a discussion, the
council agreed to table the
bid vote until they could
get an opinion whether

they could award the bid or
were required to change
the policy first.
Monday, AdministratorIn-Training Kevin Kress
said he had contacted the
League of Minnesota
Cities.
I asked them do you
have to hold the assessment hearing and have the
assessments ready before
you award the bid, he
said, and they said generally speaking no, because
we can amend the special
assessment policy as we
see fit.
Policy
Kress presented the
council with a clause in the
assessment policy that supported that opinion.
The assessment policy is
intended to serve as a
guide for a systematic
assessment process in the
city. There may be exceptions to the policy or
unique circumstances or
situations which may
require special consideration and discretion by city
staff and the city council.
Mayor Pete Edmonson
acknowledged the council
had the authority to move
ahead with the bid and
amend the policy later.
So we could walk
through with awarding a
bid, amending our assessments and if by some circumstance, they could be
adjusted once again later,
he said.
Niehoff said he felt it
was still better to amend
the policy first.
I would like to encour-
age you to keep this (policy) ahead of the awarding

of the bid so the residents
know how much theyre
paying before this process
goes so far, he said. The
sooner you get that to
them, the sooner you can
put out some of these fires,
instead of having angry
people through the whole
project until you decide
when you want to let them
know how much the
assessments are.
Edmonson said he
understood Niehoffs concerns.
I certainly agree with
you, he said. Were looking to get the information
out just as we have in the
past here sooner rather than
later.
At that point the council
had the option of awarding
the bid first or amending
the assessment policy.
Kress
recommended
changing the policy first.
Actually, Id like to see
the special assessment policy motion go first, he
said. I think by having our
assessment policy changed
to the 22% it allows us to
do that, to give those numbers to the public more
efficiently.
Councilman
Rollie
Lange said he thought the
council did as well as they
could to reduce assessments.
We had to charge a minimum of 20%, he said.
Were only two points
over the minimum, so I
think the motion is very
fair for our taxpayers.
The council voted unani-
mously to change the policy to charge assessments at

22% of the project cost,
plus two percent over the
bond interest rate to cover
the bond issuance costs.
The Bid
Then the council voted
to award the bid for the
project to R.L. Larson
Excavating of St. Cloud at
$2,043,427. That amount
was well below the engineers estimate of $2.8
million. However, with
engineering costs and
bond issuance costs plus
interest, the total bond the
council approved was

City wont vacate

part of Bluff Street
By Ken Francis
Staff Writer
of
the
Members
Clearwater City Council
agreed Monday it was not
in anyones best interest to
vacate the portion of Bluff
Street between Ash and
Elm streets.
During the last council
meeting in March, a number of residents made the
suggestion to vacate the
street because it was not
frequently used and was
very narrow.
But after researching the
proposal and meeting with
residents at the site,
Administrator-In-Training
Kevin Kress and Interim
Administrator Derus recommended the street is not

a candidate for vacation for
a few reasons:
* There are five driveways in the area serving
the properties between Ash
and Elm
* Vacating the street
would land-lock at least
one property;
* The street offers additional access for parking
for an apartment building
and emergency vehicles;
* It is a through street;
* There is a historic
church on that segment of
Bluff Street.

I know there are a lot of

college basketball fans in
Minnesota who were disappointed that Wisconsin
lost in the NCAA
Championship game to
Duke Monday night.
I wasnt one of them.
Its not that I have anything against the Badgers.
In fact, if they played anyone else in the finals I
would probably have been
rooting for them.
But Im a Duke fan.
I have been since the late
70s when one of the players on my high school basketball team was recruited
by Duke.
His name was Jim
Spanarkel, and for those
who watched some of the
March Madness games, he
was one of the sports analysts.
He was our high school
(Hudson Catholic) all-time
point scorer. He won the
Duke MVP in 1977-78-79
and was the schools first
2,000 point scorer. He was
inducted into Dukes Hall
of Fame in 1990.
He was selected in the
first round of the 1979
draft by the Philadelphia
76ers and was traded to the
Dallas Mavericks in 1980
and played there for five
years.

He was the first player I

knew personally from my
hometown, Jersey City, to
become
a
nationally
known college player. And
it paved the way for other
players in Jersey City to be
recognized and recruited
later.
Bobby Hurley, another
high school standout from
St. Anthonys in Jersey
City, was recruited by
Duke Head Coach Mike
Krzyzewski and played
point guard for the Blue
Devils from 1989-1993.
He helped the team to
the Final Four three times
and helped lead the Blue
Devils to back-to-back
national championships in
1991 and 1992 with All
American
teammates
Christian Laettner and
Grant Hill, earning Final
Four Most Outstanding
Player honors in 1992.
Hurley remains the NCAA
all-time assists leader with
1,076 assists.

Committed to Caring
TO THE EDITOR:
As the new CEO of the
Stearns History Museum, I
want to make you aware of
its role in preserving the
areas history. As the first
accredited museum in
Minnesota, the region and
its residents can feel proud
of the work we have done.
Our mission is to connect
people to the power of history and culture by collecting, preserving and interpreting our historical and
cultural resources.
Our vision is to be a
place where citizens of
Central Minnesota can
honor their diverse history
and recognize that the past
is what built the present
and provides a road map to
the future.
A recently completed and
board-approved strategic
plan calls us to expand our
current museum and
research center, as we have
reached capacity, and study
the feasibility of collaborating to bring a childrens

museum to the region. We
also have in place a staff of
educated and certified
museum specialists who
each provide advice and
assistance to local historians.
April 23, A Night at
Your Museum is this
years fundraising event. It
will be a great evening at
the museum. Well have
scrumptious hors doeuvres, a Rough Rider signature cocktail, live performances
by Teddy
Roosevelt, aka re-enactor
Chuck Chalberg; a silent
auction and cash bar.
Tickets are available
online at www.stearnsmuseum.org or at 320-2538424. Come and meet me
at your county museum.
Jim Davis
CEO
St. Cloud, MN
had no idea Jim would

later go on to be a college
star and NBA player. I just
knew we had a great team
that won the state title.
And on that same team
was another future NBA
player, Mike OKoren,
who would later play for
the New York Nets.
When I was growing up
in Jersey City, I met a few
people who would later go
on to play professional
sports.
Of course, I didnt know
it at the time.
Bernie Parmalee was a
running back for the
Miami Dolphins and New
York Jets.
John Valentin was just a
little kid from Downtown
Jersey City who used to
play catch on the street
while the rest of us were

playing baseball in a semipro league.
He ended up playing in
the Majors for 10 years
with the Boston Red Sox
and New York Mets.
David Rivers, also a basketball player from St.
Anthonys, played for
Notre Dame and the Los
Angeles Lakers.
Willie Banks, a pitcher,
was drafted by the Twins
and played in the majors
for 12 years. He was a
member of the 1991 World
Championship team.
I had aspirations of playing professional baseball
years ago. But I never got
further than semi-pro.
So now I make it a point
to root for the hometown
kids whenever I can.

Nationally touring Civil Rights

Exhibition opened April 6
Submitted Article
...we had averted our
eyes for far too long, turning away from the ugly
reality facing us as a
nation. Let the world see
what Ive seen. - Mamie
Till Bradley
In September 1955,
shortly after 14-year-old
Emmett Till was murdered
by white supremacists in
Mississippi, his grieving
Mamie
Till
mother,
Bradley, distributed to
newspapers and magazines
a gruesome black-andwhite photograph of his
mutilated corpse.
The mainstream media
rejected the photograph as
inappropriate for publication, but Bradley was able
to turn to AfricanAmerican periodicals for
support. Asked why she
would do this, Bradley
explained that by witnessing, with their own eyes,
the brutality of segregation, Americans would be
more likely to support the
cause of civil rights.
For All the World to See:
Visual Culture and the
Struggle for Civil Rights, a
nationally touring exhibition from NEH on the
Road, runs now through
May 25 at the Stearns

History Museum.
Through a compelling
assortment of photographs,
television clips, art posters,
and historic artifacts, the
exhibition traces how
images and media disseminated to the American public transformed the modern
civil rights movement and
jolted Americans, both
black and white, out of a
state of denial or complacency.
Visitors to the immersive
display will explore dozens
of compelling and persuasive visual images, including photographs from
influential magazines such
as LIFE, JET and EBONY;
CBS news footage; and TV
clips from The Ed Sullivan
Show. Also included are
civil rights era objects that
exemplify the range of
negative and positive
imageryfrom
Aunt
Jemima syrup dispensers
and 1930s produce advertisements
to
Jackie
Robinson
baseball
ephemera and 1960s childrens toys with AfricanAmerican portraiture.
For All the World to See
is not a history of the civil
rights movement, but
rather an exploration of the

vast number of potent
images that influenced how
Americans perceived race
and the struggle for equality.
Dr. Maurice Berger,
research professor at the
Center for Art, Design and
Visual Culture, University
of Maryland, Baltimore,
curated the exhibit, For All
the World to See: Visual
Culture and the Struggle
for Civil Rights. It was coorganized by the Center for
Art, Design and Visual
Culture
and
the
Smithsonians National
Museum
of AfricanAmerican History and
Culture. For All the World
to See has been made possible through NEH on the
Road, a special initiative of
the National Endowment
for the Humanities (NEH).
It has been adapted and is
being toured by MidAmerica Arts Alliance (MAAA). Founded in 1972,
Mid-America Arts Alliance
is the oldest regional nonprofit arts organization in
the United States.

House
and
Senate
Republicans unveiled their
comprehensive, future-oriented proposal for transportation in Minnesota: the
Road and Bridge Act of
2015 (House File 4). The
Republican plan invests $7
billion more over the next
decade without raising
taxes.
The
ten-year
approach prioritizes road
and bridge infrastructure

through:
Immediate repair of
roads in Minnesota communities.
Highway improvements
for commuters and commerce.
Reliable, long-term funding without raising taxes.
Representative
Jim
Newberger,
R-Becker,
issued the following state-
ment after the release of

the plan:
"Minnesotans now have
a clear choice between two
different
plans:
The
Republican plan, the Road
and Bridge Act of 2015,
which prioritizes state dollars to address our longterm transportation infrastructure needs, or the plan
supported by Democrats
and Governor Dayton
which represents an $8.65
billion tax increase on
hardworking families,"
Newberger said. "We can
fix our roads and bridges,
and make long-term
investments without taking
money
from
more
Minnesotans'
pockets.
Minnesotans across the
state are tired of tax
increases being the answer
to every problem in Saint
Paul. Our plan is a common-sense approach that I
think a vast majority of
Minnesotans will support."

Patient Safe Zone Bill
In the Health and Human
Services
Reform
Committee, they held a
hearing on my bipartisan
Patient Safe Zone Bill
which protects staff,
patients and visitors in a
hospital, hospice or nursing home.
The definition of Patient
Safe Zone would be added
to the sections of law that
offer additional protections
in regards to drugs and
guns in a "school zone,
park zone, public housing
zone, or drug treatment
facility." It would also
increase penalties for
inmates who, while receiving treatment in a hospital,
assault hospital staff. If
enacted, inmates who
assault hospital staff would
face the same penalties as
assaulting a prison guard.
This legislation is about
protecting hardworking
hospital staff, and I am
pleased it is advancing
through the committee
process.

CLEARWATER TOWNSHIP
PUBLIC NOTICE
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN,
that the Clearwater Township
Board will be changing its regular
board meeting from April 13,
2015 to April 20th, 2015 Day.
The meeting time will remain the
same at 7:30 p.m., at the town

Specialty Courts
Funding
In the Public Safety and
Crime Prevention Committee, my bipartisan specialty courts funding bill
received a hearing. HF
1180 appropriates $1 million for FY 2016-17 to
expand Minnesota's specialty courts for people
with chemical dependency
problems or mental illness.
I believe these courts are
not only a great avenue to
relieve the pressure on our
criminal courts, but also
turn around the lives of
many people suffering
from a drug problem or
mental illness, helping
them become productive
members of society once
again.
An estimated 80 percent
of people who go through
our court system have a
chemical dependency, and
60-65 percent have a mental illness. These specialty
courts offer an alternative
way to help people convicted of a crime receive
the mental health care and
wrap around services they
need, and have also proven
to have lower recidivism
rates than our regular court
system.
Nursing Home
Reimbursement
Legislation
In the Aging and LongTerm Care Committee,
they heard HF 562, a bill I
authored to increase the
Wright County nursing
home reimbursement rate
to that of the metro rate.
Our county is surrounded
by other counties that pay
a higher reimbursement
rate to nursing homes, putting us at a disadvantage to
attract and retain quality,
qualified staff to take care
of our seniors.
Passing this rate adjustment into law will help our
local nursing facilities
cover operating costs, and
ensure they receive fair
funding. Anne Dirks from
Parkview Care Center in

Big news came from
Wright-Hennepin
Cooperative
Electric
Associations (WH) 78th
annual meeting, as Board
Chair Chris Lantto stepped
down after 15 years of
service in that position.
Newly elected as chair is
Erick Heinz, Corcoran,
who previously held the
position of vice chair.
Shortly before this meeting, I informed your directors of my desire to step
down as board chair to help
pave the way for a new era
of leadership at WrightHennepin, Lantto told a
packed assembly at WHs
Rockford headquarters.
While I intend to fulfill
the time remaining in my
term as WH Director I
ask you to provide the new
chairperson the same level
of support and encouragement you gave me. Serving
as your Board chair has

been a proud moment in
my life. Thank you.
Lantto (District 5, French
Lake) received a standing
ovation from the crowd.
He was presented a plaque
with a gavel, along with a
certificate of leadership
that recognized the growth
and development of the
company while serving as
Board Chair.
Following the meeting,
the board of directors elected Heinz to take over as
chair of WH. The electing
of Heinz (District 9,
Corcoran) set in motion
multiple other changes, and
restructured positions as
follows:

Hands Across the World:

The Journey Continues
learned a great deal about
meeting the artistic needs of
a broad and diverse community.
The exhibit celebrates the
power of the arts to address
social change and includes
fabric construction, weaving, ceramics, and mosaic
artwork. Recent refugees
stories and photographs will
be on display to illustrate
the dramatic and often horrific circumstances that they
faced in their homelands.
A reception will take place
from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday,
April 12, at the Museum.
No admission will be
charged
this
date.
Refreshments
include
Sambusas, a food from
Somalia. Demonstrators
include Sakina Abukar, who

will create henna designs,
and Jeri Olson-McCoy, who
will lead a hands-on weaving session.

Funders for this project:
The Paramount Education & Outreach Services,
and Hands Across The
World.
Taxpayers, who believe

we have more urgent needs
such as roads and bridges.
Again, I cannot support
the Governor's push to take
our little four year-old kids
away from their parents
and stick them in a government programs.
LAND BUFFERS:
The Governor wants to
create land buffers in our
state. Simply put, he wants
the first 50 feet of land
between any shore line,
river, lake or stream, to be
designated as a buffer zone
in order to act as a filter to
protect the quality of our
waters.
We had a hearing on the
house version of the bill in
committee and it is being
held in committee for further review. It may end up
in the omnibus policy bill.
We will know more in
April or early May.
I have been getting many
calls and emails about this
issue. Most of the contacts
DO NOT favor a statewide
rule of a 50 foot buffer
strip.
However, there have
been many who DO favor
this.
Here is how people from
our district are weighing in
on this issue:
Farmers and folks in the
Agriculture industry do not
like this. It will consume
large portions of their lands
and could be harmful to
their livelihoods.
Lake and river property
owners are mixed. Some
want it, some don't. It is
almost 50/50. Some like
the way the buffer may
protect the waters. Others
don't like it because they
feel it intrudes on their private property rights.
Most Sportsman and
Environmental folks want
this. I am getting emails
and calls from them saying
they want to protect
wildlife.
The bill is not complete
at this time and should be
subject amendments.
I am waiting to see the
final bill before I decide
exactly HOW I will vote
on this.
I do not have a stake in
this issue. I am not in the
Ag industry, I do not own
lake or river shore property. I do not hunt waterfowl.
Again, I will continue to
monitor this issue and consider the input from the
Jim
Newberger
Representative
district. I will vote on the

final version when it
comes out.
I would like to see a
hybrid of this bill that
would find some kind of a
balance to this issue. One
that would help to protect
our waters and respect the
rights of property owners
and farmers. I do not support a mandated statewide
50 foot buffer. A one-size
fits all approach is not the
best way to address this
issue.
I really appreciate all of
the input I have received
on this issue and welcome
any and all comments on
this. Please contact me if
you haven't yet and would
like to share your opinion.
Email me at rep.jim.newberger@house.mn or call
my office 651-296-2451.
Power Plants:
We expect to be very
active on energy issues this
session. I have personally
authored 12 bills that
address our energy issues.
Two of my bills, HF# 639
has already passed and is
waiting to go to the house
floor. HF #333 has one last
stop before it also goes to
the house floor.
HF #639 stops MN from
being wrapped up in a
giant legal mess over
importing power from
North Dakota.
HF #333 requires that the
legislature approve any
MPCA plan that has been
mandated by the EPA.
My other energy bills are
all focused on reigning the
massive expansion of government over-reach and
would help to restore a true
"All of the above" energy
policy. A policy that would
protect our current power
plants as well as explore
new options for supplemental power systems.
Thank you so much for
giving me the honor to
serve our district.

The Paramounts Education Outreach Program
and Visual Arts Center collaborated with Hands
Across the World, a local
agency serving the needs of
refugees new to Central
Minnesota, to put together
the exhibit, Hands Across
the World: The Journey
Continues that runs from
now through May 25 at the
Stearns History Museum.
Four artists provided fourto six-week workshops to
help these newest residents
gain language, social and
work skills. Participants had
an opportunity for artistic
expression and developed

I am very pleased to
report to you that most of
my bills have made the
deadlines. There has been
an absolute flurry of activity here in St. Paul as legislators and committee
chairs push to get bills
heard. Some committees
have been meeting for
hours during the day, then
they meet again in the
evenings until the late
hours of the night.
Some bills that miss the
deadline may still get
passed this year, if they are
added in later as amendments on the house floor or
receive approval from the
Rules Committee.
Our bills need to be heard
in finance committees to
meet the second deadline.
There are three items I
would like to share.
ALL DAY PRE-K:
The governor wants to
send all of our Pre-kindergarten kids to school. This
means that children as
young as 4 years old could
be enrolled in government
education programs. The
cost to do this is in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Many folks from the district have asked me how I
feel about this. Simply put.
I do not support a statewide
program to enforce the
new all day Pre-K movement. I have been, and
always will be, a strong
believer in local control.
This decision must be
made in each community.
Parents, teachers and elected school board members
need to make this decision.
I also believe that parents
should always have the
right to "opt their kids out"
if they so choose.
Over the course of the
last month I have heard
from:
School officials who do
not want this. They do not
have the resources to handle all of these little kids,
who are barely beyond
their toddler years.
Parents who are very
concerned and do not want
this. They are worried
about losing their rights as
parents.
Dozens of childcare
providers. All of them have
resoundingly stated that
they do not support all day
Pre-K, as it would eliminate a large percent of their
business.
Over 6,500 distribution to

Clearwater, Clear Lake
& surrounding areas.
Full of local community
& business features.

Thrivent Financial Partnership to build two habitat homes in St. Cloud
Submitted Article
Central
Minnesota
Habitat for Humanity
(CMHFH) is excited to
announce that they have
received a grant from
Thrivent Financial to help
build homes for two local
low-income families in
2015. Construction will
begin this summer and the
homes will be located in
Saint Cloud.
One of our strongest
partners both locally and
nationally is Thrivent
Financial, said Bruce
Johnson, Executive Director of CMHFH. Through
our partnership, we will
have built and sold 23
homes to low-income families in Central Minnesota
by the end of this year.
The grant, a part of the
Thrivent Builds program,
provides half of the financial support needed to
build a home. The rest of
the support is raised from
local businesses, churches,
and members of the community. The homes are
built mostly by volunteers
from sponsoring businesses, churches, and the general public.
The Thrivent/Habitat
partnership is a great fit
because it engages the
whole community and
gives them the opportunity
to live out the values of
ers communities to transform lives through affordable

homeownership.
Since 1989, 83 families
have purchased their very
own home through their
homeownership program.
CMHFH sells simple
homes to qualified families
with a mortgage they can
afford. Each partner family
goes through 15 hours of
homeownership education
and completes 200 hours of
sweat equity per adult
before they can purchase a
Habitat home. This important work would not be
possible without the generosity and dedication of
the incredible donors and
volunteers in the Central
Minnesota community.
About Habitat for
Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity
Internationals vision is a
world where everyone has
a decent place to live.
Anchored by the conviction that housing provides
a critical foundation for
breaking the cycle of
poverty, Habitat has helped
more than 4 million people
construct, rehabilitate or
preserve homes since
1976. Habitat also advocates to improve access to
decent and affordable shelter and supports a variety
of funding models that
enable families with limit-
connecting finances with

faith and living generously, said Steve Reetz, a
Financial
Thrivent
Representative in St. Cloud
and Board member of
Central Minnesota Habitat
for Humanity..
The $140,000 grant is
part of a $12 million commitment Thrivent Financial
has made to Habitat for
Humanity in 2015 to support the Thrivent Builds
with Habitat for Humanity
partnership.
"It's inspiring to see
Thrivent members and others continuously give of
their time and talents to
help families in local communities and around the
world have safe, affordable
housing,"
said
Brad
Hewitt, President and CEO
of Thrivent.
Construction on the
Thrivent Builds homes will
begin this summer and
some volunteer opportunities will be available to the
public with no previous
construction experience
necessary.

The author of an awardwinning memoir will help
Central Minnesota recall
the Armenian Genocide of
1915-1923.
Meline Toumani, the
Armenian-American author
of the "There Was and
There Was Not," will speak
7 p.m. April 15 in St. Cloud
State Universitys Ritsche
Auditorium. Shell also
host an informal conversation 10 a.m. April 16 in
Voyageurs Room, Atwood
Memorial Center. The 2002
film drama "Ararat" will be
screened 6:30 p.m. April 22
in Atwood Theater.
Toumanis 2014 book
about living in Turkey was
a finalist for the 2014
National Book Critics
Circle Award. Among the
book's other awards are a
Kirkus Reviews Best NonFiction Book nod.
All events are free and
open to the public.
Participants in the April 16

conversation must register
with
an
email
to
chge@stcloudstate.edu.
Parking is $1.50 an hour at
the 4th Avenue Parking
Ramp.
Though it began a century ago, Armenian Genocide
remains a source of pain
and conflict. That the genocide happened is a matter of
historical record. As many
as 1.5 million Armenians
were systematically exterminated in the Ottomon
Empire, with many dying
on death marches and in
concentration camps.
Some nations recognize
the Armenian Genocide.
Others, led by Turkey, chief
heir of the former empire,
do not. Turkey does not
have diplomatic relations
with its neighbor, the
Republic of Armenia.
Toumani moved in 2005
to the capital, Istanbul,
because she believed her

communitys quest for

genocide recognition was
obstructing
all
other
aspects of Armenian identity. "There Was and There
Was Not" is a blend of
reportage, memoir and
essay that probes timeless
questions: How to belong
to a community without
conforming to it?
How to acknowledge a
tragedy without exploiting
it and most important?
How to remember a genocide without perpetuating
the kind of hatred that gave
rise to it in the first place?
