K-M School board sets levy at 9.8%

The K-M School Board set the 2008 levy, payable in 2009, at $3,274,420.93, a 9.83% increase over last year. The levy last year was $2,981,416.32.

Business manager Bob Hasz said the single biggest reason for the increase was the $145,000 designated for health and safety. The overall levy increase is around $300,000.

Board member Mark Packard asked what kind of a tax impact the $300,000 levy increase would have on the average district resident. Superintendent Peter Grant said the increase would have about a $12 impact on each resident.

Norwegian Viking turning a few heads

Steve and Dawn Johnson, 405 5th Street N.W., Kasson, had a tree cut down on the west side of the house a few weeks ago. Steve had them leave about 15 feet of the trunk for good reason. He hired Dale Brooks of Owatonna to do a form of chain saw art.

Steve, of Norwegian descent, had the chain saw artist carve out a Norwegian Viking. He has had friends and neighbors tease him he should add purple and make it a Minnesota Viking. He would have nothing of that.

Vikings have been glorified by Scandinavians, and banned by others for their brutality and cruelty. All Steve wanted to do was preserve a piece of Norwegian history.

City of Kasson to take demolition quotes on main street building

The Kasson city council has authorized the request for quotes for demolition of the former Expressions Building, located next to the C.O. Brown building on Main Street. Demolition was budgeted for last year and the city has determined the building can't be rehabbed and is not salvageable.

The city delayed demolition a year ago because of a concern that the adjoining building may collapse. The council now feels they are in a position where the building can be taken down without impacting the adjacent building.

Andrew Ruby to return to Iraq

At the age of 18 Andrew Ruby of Kasson joined the Marines to begin a four year commitment at the base in San Diego, CA. Andrew is now 21 and beginning his third year of the four year commitment with the Marines.

Lance Corporal Andrew Ruby recently returned to his United States Marine Corps military base in Twentynine Palms, CA. to begin the final preparations for his second deployment to Iraq August 25. He was returning from a two-week pre-deployment leave to Minnesota.

Last week Andrew's mother, Barb Hauber of Kasson, received correspondence from Andrew's commanding officer, Lt. Col. J. B. Woulfe of the 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment. He outlined the pre-deployment training Andrew and his Marine unit "recently performed and completed magnificently", including the large scale, month long exercise called the "Mojave Viper".

Jason Peck sworn in a as Kasson police officer

Last Thursday morning Judge Lawrence Agerter swore in Jason Peck as a Kasson police officer. What is significant about the swearing in is that Peck will serve as the full time Student Resource Officer (SRO) for K-12 in the Kasson-Mantorville School District. The school district is partnering with the city of Kasson to make the new position possible.

In the past the district has shared an SRO with Triton and Hayfield through the Dodge County Sheriff's Department. The school board and Superintendent Peter Grant determined the district reached a point where they could justify hiring an officer full time. Previously the SRO was in the district two to three days a week.

Commissioners approve of Mantorville signs

The Mantorville council gave approval to the Economic Development Authority (EDA) to install two new "Welcome to Mantorville" signs on the outskirts of town off of Highway 57. Included with the two signs will be planters and limestone bases at a total cost of approximately $15,000.

The EDA brought their proposal to the Dodge County Commissioners. They were not required to take any action, but their input was requested as well as any concerns they might have. Mn/DOT has already been contacted about any potential problems with the project. Commissioners asked a few questions, but did not have any problems with the project.
