The death of Marine Lance
Corporal Dale Means has affected
many people in the
New Prague community.
Means, a 2007 graduate of
New Prague High School,
died Sunday, Nov. 18, when
the convoy he was riding in hit
an improvised explosive device
(IED) in Afghanistan. He
is believed to be the first active-duty
member of the military
from the New Prague area
killed in combat since World
War II.
In the hours and days after
Means’ death, there were
many messages on Twitter
and Facebook, two social
media outlets. The initial
tweets were all of sadness and
gratitude, expressing sorrow
for the loss and gratitude to his

Means, 23, who grew up in
rural Jordan, was killed while
serving in Afghanistan. A
2007 graduate of New
Prague High School, he married
classmate Andrea Scheffler
in October of 2011 at St.
Patrick’s Church north of

On Monday, a Marine
Corps detail escorted Lance
Corporal Means home to New
Prague for the final time. Also
accompanying the detail were
members of the Patriot Guard,
a group that provides motorcycle
escorts and stands at attention
outside of funerals and
visitations for fallen military
personnel.
Perhaps the most impressive
sight, though, was the
flags. Hundreds of flags lined
both sides of Main Street and
other areas along the funeral
procession route. Larry Eckhardt
of Illinois, known as
Larry the Flag Guy, arrived
Tuesday afternoon and with a
group of volunteers placed
American flags every 12 feet

from such countries as the
Czech Republic, Germany,
Switzerland and Ireland.
There will also be arts and

imports and direct sales. Just
a few of the items featured
will be imported glassware,

As of Tuesday, Nov. 27,
there were 13 units registered
for the Parade of Lights.
Kristy Mach, executive director
of the New Prague
Chamber of Commerce, said
there can be more entries by

various organizations and
businesses from New Prague,
Montgomery and the surrounding
area. Line up for
the parade will be along First
way to Alton Avenue, on the
south side of the highway past
the car dealerships, in other
spots along the route and on
the approach to St. Patrick’s
Church, where the funeral was
held. Flags were also in the St.
Patrick Cemetery next to
Means’ gravesite.
Joe Vaughan and Arnie Ambroz
were two of the more
than 100 volunteers who
helped place the flags.
“It was very impressive,”
said Vaughan. “The turnout
was unbelievable..” I can’t explain
what went through my
mind,” said Vaughan, who is
also a member of the New
prague Veterans Honor Guard.
“Last night, when I was
driving home, there were
some tears in my eyes,” Ambroz
added.

Larry Eckhardt, travels
throughout the Midwest to
honor fallen military members
and help give them a
proper sendoff.
Eckhardt is known as
“Larry the Flag Guy,” and
when a soldier is killed in
combat from Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Indiana Wisconsin,
Minnesota or Tennessee, he
contacts the hometown and
offers his services. On Tuesday,
he brought 2,200 American
Flags and led a crew of
more than 100 volunteers in
lining the street from the area
of Bruzek Funeral Home to
the eastern edge of town and
a few other places along the
route with flags to honor fallen
Marine Lance Corporal
Dale Means.
Eckhardt has been doing
this for seven years.
“It started when there was
a soldier’s funeral in my
hometown,” he said. “There
were probably 2,000 people
lining the street waiting for
him to come home, but only
about 100 flags. That was
wrong.”
Eckhardt obtained 50
flags, then added 50 more,
and more and more, and he
now has more than, 2,200.
This is the 97th funeral he
has attended. “That’s 100 too
many,” he said. He said he
started out doing funerals

Monday afternoon that 50

hearing instructions, they

At Veterans Day programs earlier this
month, speakers talked about the sacrifices
that were made by veterans to ensure our
freedom. Some even spoke about the “Ultimate
sacrifice.”
Just one week later, New Prague learned
that one of its own had made that sacrifice.
The community grieves... those who knew
him, those who loved him, and those who
did not know him, but who respect his sacrifice.
It is hard to come up with the right
words.
Archibald MacLeish served in World War
I and later was Librarian of Congress. He
wrote this poem to honor those who died in
battle, and to remind those who survive that
it is up to us to honor that sacrifice as we live
our lives.

In Praise of a
Valiant Woman
To the Editor:
I knew Lois Wann for the
45 years that I lived in New
Prague.
As one of the very few
woman journalists of her
time and even fewer newspaper
editors, her approach to
journalism and reporting was
unique.
Lois saw the world
through positive lenses and
wrote about what was good
in the local news. She was
not a critic pointing out what
needed fixing. (Perhaps she
thought there were enough
critics).
Lois sought out what
should make us proud; new
businesses, new services, our
hospital, emerging leaders,
community celebrations and
showcasing our schools and
talented students. She was
great at affirming the good
and the positive.
While the community has
experienced its share of
tragedy, Lois never captured
the sensational in her reporting.
She wrote with sensitivity
and avoided writing about
the pain others might be experiencing.
New Prague has enjoyed
so much growth and success
over the years and we can all
be grateful that Lois helped
us see the many ways we
were blessed, and to help us
celebrate the achievement of
so many of its citizens.
How blessed we were to
have her with us so many
years!
May God rest her lovely
soul !

‘Remember us’
Letters
Woodard will
work for
common sense
To the Editor:
While the results of the
2012 election mean that I
will no longer serve in the
majority, I remain passionate
about ensuring our conservative
voice is heard in St.
Paul. I am also confident that
we will continue to work for
the bipartisan common sense
solutions that are 90 percent
of our work at the Capitol.
In the last two years we
have seen a significant improvement
in the state’s fiscal
position. When I first ran
for office in 2010 we were
facing a $6 billion budget
shortfall. We will now hand
off a $1.3 billion surplus to
the DFL majorities and to the
governor. The surplus coupled
with a projected 6 percent
increase in revenues ($2
billion) should be enough to
pay off the school shift and
fund priorities without raising
taxes on Minnesotans.
Governor Dayton has indicated
however that the election
was a mandate for his
ideas of larger government
and higher taxes. He has also
stated that he does not intend
to ‘squander’ that mandate. I
disagree with that assessment,
but the stark reality is
that the governor and the
DFL majorities have full
control over the legislative
agenda of the next two years.
I intend to lead the fight to
ensure that more moderate
voices prevail. As always I
enjoy hearing from constituents
throughout the district
and would like to hear
your ideas for making Minnesota
a better place to work,
live, and play.
It is a privilege to serve as
your State Representative.

We leave you our deaths. Give them their

We were young, they say. We have died;

Opinion
A breather before the busy season
This weekend felt like it
gave me a chance to catch
my breath before launching
into the busy season.
For Thanksgiving, I went
north to Thief River Falls
where I visited with family. It
was relatively simple, as
there was the sharing of
news, finding out what my
family has been up to, some
horsing around and just being
able to relax.
It helped me to prepare for
the busy season, the time of
Christmas concerts, Santa
visits, holiday baking and
winter shows. This is the
time of year when people
will see Managing Editor

Kim Chlan is creating history,

the New Prague High School
senior is helping create history
about New Prague’s history.
Chlan is assisting with the
creation of a newsletter and
website for the New Prague

and a teacher at the high
school, said “she’s been
doing a tremendous job.”

If you’re expecting a "Bah,

a time of year that I enjoy.
There’s something special
about capturing a holiday
moment. People raising their

About 500 New Prague
people attended Sunday's
“Salute to the Doughboys”
banquet and program, an
event which gave special
recognition to more than 50
World War I veterans who
fought in defense of America
almost 60 years ago.
Two Scott County sites
were recently eliminated
from the search areas in the
Seven County Metropolitan
Area, and will no longer be
considered as potential sites
praising the season. A child
sharing a list with Santa or a
toddler’s first visit as they
look at the jolly old elf with
wide eyes. People coming together,
bringing donations to
help others.
It’s these events that bring
simple joys to families, acts
that for those who have had a
harder year deem a small
miracle, being able to witness
them is at times a humbling
experience.
In a way these moments remind
me of faith, hope and
love. Faith in others, ourselves
and God that we will
see improvements, whether
it’s our health, business or

AW.P.A. Symphony Orchestra,

many forms, such as simply
helping a friend through a
rough patch or providing a
shoulder for someone to lean
on when life seems hard to
bear.
It is that busy season, but
remember why we celebrate
it. God has faith in us, so He
sent His son, giving us the
hope of forgiveness and
showed us in His teachings
that love is greater than hate,
greed, fear and the other negatives
we are often challenged
to fight through.

NP man charged for
alleged sexual assault
Stephen Henry Hartmann,
32, of New Prague, is facing
four felony charges of third
degree criminal sexual conduct
for events that allegedly
occurred on March 17.
In a statement from the
victim to New Prague Police
on March 23, she said that
she and her husband went to
a bar in Burnsville with Hartmann
and his wife, longtime
friends of theirs. After several
drinks, they returned to
New Prague where she stated
that she and Hartmann were
unable to continue drinking
and stayed in the car while
her husband and Hartmann's
wife went on and walked to a
couple bars in town. She said
she fell asleep in the back
seat and it was then that
Hartmann allegedly sexually
assaulted her. She told investigators
that she yelled and
attempted to fight him but
could not due to her condition.
The victim stated when
they returned to the Hartmann
home later that same
night, her husband and Hartmann's
wife left to take the
babysitter home when Hartmann
sexually assaulted her

a second time.
Hartmann denied the accusations.
According to the
complaint, a search warrant
was issued and a DNA sample
was collected from Hartmann
and sent to the BCA
for testing. On September 12
the report of Examination of
Physical Evidence came
back from the BCA and identified
Hartmann's sample as a
match to that on the victim's
clothing.
A complaint summons notifying
Hartmann of the
charges against him was issued
on Thursday, November
15. His first appearance in Le
Sueur County Court is scheduled
for Tuesday, December
11.
Hartmann is charged with
two counts of third degree
criminal sexual conduct
using force or coercion and
two counts of criminal sexual
conduct where the victim
is mentally impaired or helpless.
According to state
statutes, if Hartmann is
found guilty, he faces a
penalty of up to 15 years in
prison and/or a fine up to
$30,000 for each charge
against him.

County board acknowledges
historical society ruling
Jake Keohen
Montgomery Messenger
The Le Sueur County
Board of Commissioners acknowledged
a court decision
that there is now one valid Le
Sueur County Historical Society
(LSCHS) during its
regular meeting Tuesday,
Nov. 20.
LE SUEUR
COUNTY BOARD
The society issue was not
on the board agenda, but near
the end of the session, County
Administrator/Engineer
Darrell Pettis mentioned the
recent ruling. “You have all
received a copy of the decision
rendered by Honorable
Thomas G. McCarthy in
court proceedings at the Sibley
County Courthouse in
Gaylord,” said Pettis.
Two opposing groups have
long claimed to be the valid
LSCHS, and the decision by
Judge McCarthy brings some
closure to the issue.
In his summary, McCarthy
stated that the facts in the
case are well-established, but
the parties’interpretations of
them are wildly different. He
made his decision after
studying the history and
records of both groups.
McCarthy’s decision gives
validity to the group led by
Clancy Mager, William Stangler,
Ruth Vortherns, Bob
Wertman, Becky Pollack and
ex-officio Society Coordinator
Kathy Burns, that it is
the rightful LSCHS.
The other group had been
led by Mick McGuire, Jim
Hansen, Julaine Jacobson
and Tim Sellner.
The decision that there is
now one LSCHS does not sit
well with all members of the
county board, including District
1 Commissioner John
Grimm. “As I have said before,
until the society is inclusive
rather than exclusive
and represents all residents
of the county, I cannot support
the organization,” he
commented.
The commissioners directed
Pettis to continue paying
society bills monthly, rather
than releasing the balance
($30,000) which had been
budgeted for 2011.
The board also:
• Accepted the Final Environmental
Impact Statement
(FEIS) for Unimin Corporation,
Le Sueur, following
a presentation by Environmental/
P&Z Director
Kathy Brockway and Kirsten
Pauley of Sunde Engineering.
The FEIS provides information
about the extent of
the potential environmental
impacts and how they can be
avoided or minimized for the
proposed expansion of silica
sand mining of approximately
1,188.06 acres in Kasota
Township.
• Scheduled the next board
meeting for Tuesday, Dec.
11, at 5:30 p.m., with Truth
In Taxation Hearing at 6:35
p.m. The board will not meet
Tuesday, Dec. 4, because of
the Association of Minnesota
Counties (AMC) session
being held that day.

Habitat continues
search for new family
By Patrick Fisher
Staff Writer
The New Prague Habitat
for Humanity is continuing
its search for a family for its
fourth Habitat house at 300
First Ave. SE.
The local group, which is
part of Habitat for Humanity
South Central Minnesota
Chapter, began work on the
building earlier this year. At
the beginning of the process
Christian and Jennifer Lake
with their three children had
been chosen. The Lake family
informed Habitat for Humanity
in September they
were withdrawing. Christian
had chosen to follow a call to
the ministry. Since the family
didn’t know if he would be
studying at a local seminary,
they felt they couldn’t accept
the house if there was a
chance they would be moving
out of New Prague. The
work on the new house is ongoing
as is the search for a
new family.
Joan Goggins, a member
of the local Habitat for Humanity,
said people can pick
up application packets at
three locations. They are the
New Prague Library, 400
Main St. E, State Bank of
New Prague, 1101 First St.
SE, and the Elko New Market
Library, 110 J. Roberts
Way.
Habitat for Humanity is a
non-profit ecumenical Christian
housing ministry dedicated
to building simple, decent
and affordable homes
with and for families in need.
A person may qualify if
they:
• Currently have low to
ed his residency in family medicine at the University of
Minnesota Affiliated Pro-
medium income.
• Are paying too much rent
or live in inadequate/substandard
housing
• Are unable to obtain a
conventional home loan
• Have a reliable source of
income to make monthly
mortgage payments
• Have a credit history free
of collection accounts and
liens
• Are willing to partner
with Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity has
income guidelines per family.
For one person the minimum
is $11,677, while the
maximum is $27,563. For a
10-person family the minimum
is $24,605 and the
maximum is $58,278.
Families cannot carry too
much debt. Their debt-to-income
ratio must be below 41
percent. To qualify for a
Habitat house a person might
want to take steps to reduce
their debt, if they have any.
Habitat for Humanity does
not give away houses. Qualified
families help to build
their houses by putting in
200–400 hours of "sweat equity,"
which is a hands-on involvement
in building the
home and their participation
in other Habitat and community
activities. Sweat equity
represents a family’s physical
and emotional investment
in their home. It also gives
them a sense of ownership
and commitment and develops
valuable homeowner
skills and knowledge. Any
adult member of the family,
extended family and friends
can contribute sweat equity.

Not willing to settle for only
all the standard holiday delicacies

day with deep fried, battered

overcome in a 59-46 loss.

and an aggressive rebounding
effort by Central
were the difference. New
Prague shot just 11 of 41
from the field and Central
had a 37-29 rebounding
edge, including 11 offensive
rebounds.
Lexi Ruehling led the Tro-
jans with 14 points, while
Ella Grote had 11. Others
scoring were Annie Dittberner
and Jess Allar with 5 each,
Steph Hanson and Kayla
Kroyer 4 each and Maize
Deihl with 3. Dittberner had
seven rebounds and two assists
to lead the Trojans,
while Hanson had a pair of
steals.
Trojans 58, Magic 33
New Prague led by seven
at halftime, then pulled away
in the second d half for a 58-
33 win over Monticello Saturday.
Monticello was a state
tournament team last season.
New Prague’s shooting
and rebounding improved in
this game, as the Trojans
made 22 of 54 from the field
and held a 36-24 advantage
on the boards.
Dittberner and Ruehling
had 15 points each. Others
scoring were Hanson with 9,
Deihl with 6, Kroyer 5 and
Rachel Haecherl, Ashley
Altschul, Grote and Maddie
Giesen with 2 each.
Ruehling and Hanson each
pulled down seven rebounds,
with Dittberner adding six.

blocked shot, and Ruehling
blocked two. Hanson also
had five assists.

PUBLIC NOTICE
*Important property tax homestead notice*
* This will affect the amount of property tax you pay in 2013,
and it may affect your eligibility for a property tax refund.
Please contact your county assessor to file a homestead application
on or before December 15, 2012, if one of the following
applies:
❏ You purchased a property in the past year and you, or a qualifying
relative, occupy the property for homestead purposes on
December 1, 2012; or
❏ You, or a qualifying relative occupy a property for homestead
purposes on December 1, 2012, and the property was previously
classified as non-homestead.
A qualifying relative for homestead purposes depends on the
type of property. For residential property, a qualifying relative can
be a parent, stepparent, child, stepchild, grandparent, grandchild,
brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece of the owner. This
relationship may be by blood or marriage. For agricultural property,
a qualifying relative can be a child, grandchild, sibling, or
parent of the owner or of the spouse of the owner.
Once you have been granted the homestead classification, no
further applications are necessary unless they are specifically
requested by the county assessor.
You must also contact the assessor by December 15, 2012, if
you are the property owner, or a qualifying relative of the property
owner, and the use of the property has changed during the past
year. If you should sell, move, or for any reason no longer qualify
for the homestead classification, you are required to notify the
county assessor within 30 days of the change in homestead status.
Failure to notify the county assessor within this 30-day period is
punishable by recalculation of tax as nonhomestead, in addition
to a penalty equal to 100 percent of the homestead benefits.
Please call the Le Sueur County Assessor’s office at 507-357-
2251 if you have questions.

Engineering a marshmallow launch
By Patrick Fisher
Staff Writer
Fifth graders at Raven
Stream Elementary School in
New Prague took aim on
Wednesday, Nov. 21, with
miniature catapults they
made. Their ammo was a
marshmallow and their objective
was to learn about engineering
design.
This was the third year the
fifth graders made marsh-
mallow launchers. The purpose
of the project was for
them to learn about the engineering
design process,
where they identified a problem
and then worked to solve
it. The students had to design
a better launcher.
On November 21, the fifth
graders gathered in the cafeteria
to test the devices for
accuracy and shooting distance.
With their classmates
cheering them on, the students
aimed to sink a marshmallow
into a small plastic
tub and then teachers put
down a tape measure to see
which student could shoot
the furthest.
The project was part of the
STEM program, which is
Science Technology Engineering
and Mathematics.

Montgomery police make arrest in thefts
Wade Young
Montgomery Messenger
Montgomery Police arrested
four juveniles on Friday, Nov.
16, for “car hopping.” The
youth face more than 15
charges, including weapons,
drug, and drug paraphernalia,
theft, possession of stolen
property and disorderly conduct.
The incident happened at
approximately 9:15 p.m. when
police were dispatched to an
apartment on First Street
South for a reported theft from
a vehicle. Police later located
the four juvenile males near a
of
OF NEW PRAGUE
East Town Plaza | 807 1st St. SE, NNew
Prague | 952-758-5844
Come Help Us Celebrate The
convenience store in Montgomery.
The police questioned the
four youth in the store’s parking
lot and contacted four victims
in Montgomery and Le
Center who identified many of
the 77 stolen items as theirs.
Some items included a gold
bracelet, a checkbook, cell
phones, iPod, gloves, calculator,
cash, sunglasses, eyeliner,
and pool cues.
One of the juveniles also
held 6-mm and 4.5-mm airsoft
BB guns with BBs that he said
he was carrying because “it is
fun to shoot people.”
On another youth, officers
found marijuana, drug paraphernalia
and a white powdery
substance that one youth said
was his bi-polar medication.
The youth, who live in New
Prague and Waconia and attend
school in Shakopee, met
up in Montgomery and were
“car hopping” a phrase they
coined to mean breaking into
motor vehicles and stealing
their contents.
The case was turned over to
the Le Sueur County Sheriff’s
Office for charges.
