Recently the Blade visited

ith City Administrator, Lynn

abro, trying to understand how

roperty owners in Minnesota,

ho will no longer receive the

omestead Credit on our proper-

y taxes, will be impacted and

ow it will affect not only each

axpayer, but the townships, city,

chools and counties. Here is

ow it was explained.

Before the change, qualifyingomeowners received a state tax

redit on their property tax bill

alled the Market Value

omestead Credit (MVHC).

his reduced the amount of

roperty taxes they were

equired to pay and the state

as supposed to reimburse local

overnments, including cities,

chool districts and counties for

he revenue lost as a result of the

redit.

Every City, Township, County

nd School District needs to col-

ct a certain amount of property

axes to provide essential servic-

s. This is called the Levy. Thentent of the old law or system

as for the state to subsidize a

omeowners property tax bill by

romising to pay part of that bill

o the government entity to cover

he cost of necessary funds to

ay for services like police,

ater, fire, parks, etc. Example:

City needs to levy $150,000 in

roperty taxes, to cover the

ssential services and collects

140,000 from property taxes

ue to the Market Value

Homestead Credit reduction on

property taxes. Under the old

system the State would send

$10,000 (Market Value

Homestead Credit payment) to

the city to make up the differ-

ence (In a good year). Over the

last few years, because the State

of Minnesota has been experi-

encing a budget crisis, they have

been cutting the Local

Government Aid (LGA) and the

Market Value Homestead Credit(MVHC). So, instead of the city

receiving a check for $10,000,

they would receive a check for

$5,000 or $2,000 leaving the

city short of income to pay for

these essential services forcing

responses like reduced services

or increased property taxes. It is

important to understand that

these cuts did not solve the State

budget crisis.

Now the State Legislators

have killed the Market Value

Homestead Credit. Without the

MVHC property owners would

automatically see property taxes

go up. Example: property A,property tax value - 80,400 and

gross tax - $1,175.75, received a

credit of $283.75 making the

total tax bill $892.00. This prop-

erty owner would now see his tax

bill go back up to $1,175.75

because he lost the Homestead

Credit. Property B, property tax

value - $166,800 and gross tax

bill - $2,035.52 received a

Homestead Credit of $225.07;

their tax bill would go back up to

$2,035.52 because of the loss of

Homestead Credit.

In order to minimize to cost to

property owners of modest

priced properties, the State

Legislators have come up with a

new formula called the

Homestead Market Value

Exclusion (HMVE). With this

new formula, qualifying home-

owners pay tax on a reduced por-

tion of their homes value; in

other words, the taxable market

value will go down. This leadshomeowners to expect lower tax

bills; however the exclusion will

reduce the overall tax base so tax

rates will have to rise in order to

bring in the same amount of tax

dollars as last year to fund the

city services. Higher tax rates

would apply to all property own-

ers in the community, including

homes receiving the exclusion.

Example: Property A, a person

liveing in a modest house valued

at $76,000 or less may only see

his taxes increase by $10.00.

However Property B, whose tax-

able market value is $158,000,

not considered a modest home byState standards would see a

larger increase.

The new HMVE formula

would reduce Property As tax-

able market value to $45,600

and Property Bs taxable market

value to $134,980. Browervilles

tax rate is currently .51% of tax-

able value. The example city levy

of $150,000 is then divided by

$25,000,000 (the value of all tax-

able property in the city) in 2011,

but remember, the formula

reduces the taxable valuesso

the new total values for 2012 will

be around $20,000,000. The levy

of $150,000 is then divided by$20,000,000 (the new, reduced

taxable value of property in the

city) which raises tax levy rates

from .51% to .76%. Assuming no

increases in the levy, the tax rate

jumps dramatically because

there is less property value into

which to divide the tax levy. Tax

rates have an increase because

of the States reduction in valua-

tions. Again, the more modest

the home the less the tax

increase, however the higher

HAPPENINGSThe Browerville Blade, Page 2 Thursday, November 24, 2011

The pilgrims learned about cranberries from the Native American Indians.

Legend has it that the Pilgrims may have served cranberries at the first Thanksgiving in

1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Native Americans used cranberries to make a survival cake known as pemmican. They also

used the fruit in poultices and dyes.

American recipes containing cranberries date from the early 18th Century.

The cranberry is one of only a handful of major fruits native to North America. Others include the blue-

berry and Concord grape.

The cranberry gets its name from Dutch and German settlers, who called it "crane berry." When the vines

bloom in the late spring and the flowers' light pink petals twist back, they have a resemblance to the head

and bill of a crane. Over time, the name was shortened to cranberry.

Americans consume some 400 million pounds of cranberries each year. About 80 million pounds -- or 20

percent -- are gobbled up during Thanksgiving week.

Did you know that there are 440 cranberries in one pound? 4,400 cranberries in one gallon of juice? 440,000

cranberries in a 100-pound barrel?

The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impov-

erished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.........H.U. Westermayer

I ate too much turkey,

I ate too much corn,

I ate too much pudding and pie,

I'm stuffed up with muffins

and much too much stuffin'

I'm probably going to die.I piled up my plate

and I ate and I ate,

but I wish I had known when to stop,

for I'm so crammed with yams

that my buttons are starting to pop!

I'm full of tomatoes

and good mashed potatoes,

my stomach is swollen and sore,

but there's still some dessert,

so I guess it won't hurt

if I eat just a little bit more!

On Thursday, November 3, construction officially began at Valley

View Assisted Living Center in Long Prairie. The staff and residents

are looking forward to the new enclosed courtyard, expanded kitchen,

and ten additional units in the Specialty/ Memory Care apartments.

The ten additional Specialty/ Memory Care units will be added to

the north side of the west wing. The addition will include a dining

room, living room, and area for meals, socialization, and activities. It

will include an enclosed courtyard, where residents will be able to

enjoy the outdoors as well.

The apartments provide a safe, secure environment for persons

with memory loss, allowing them to move about freely and explorewithout restrictions, which promotes a calm, relaxing home-like

atmosphere. Twenty-four hour staff will be specially trained in caring

for those with memory loss or dementia.

We will try to customize the day as much as possible around the

residents normal routine, allowing them to wake, eat, join in activi-

ties, and rest as they wish to, says Sheila Towle, administration.

Activities will be adapted to the individuals interests and capabilities.

Residents will also be encouraged to participate in life activities

through performing daily household tasks such as laundry, light

cleaning, watering plants, etc.

Valley View is also expanding their current kitchen and adding a

four season porch on the north side of the courtyard for residents to

enjoy.

Construction at Valley View

Have a

Fantastic

To some of us, bow season is

he best time of the year. The rut

breeding season) is in full swing.

To the hunter, this means the

ormally wary whitetail is much

ess cautious and can be lured

nto bow range rather than hav-

ng to wait patiently for hours on

nd for one to happen by.

Our grandson, Zane, came

ver to our house Sunday, just for

visit. He brought his bow withim, which I thought might be a

ubtle hint. It wasnt long before

e wondered if we could go do

ome target shooting. I think

his was his way of convincing

me that, yes, he was ready and

ble to go deer hunting. He has a

ery nice bow and for only eight

ears old, can shoot it extremely

well. I know about the limita-

ions of patience an eight year

ld has, but who could resist tak-

ng a kid hunting that wants to

go and has the skills necessary to

do it well.

We decided to wait until mid-

afternoon before going out in

hopes the wind would die down.

When we packed our gear into

the woods, it looked as though

we were going to be there for a

while. We had the pop-up blind,

two bows, two chairs, binoculars,

rattling antlers, a grunt call,range finder, granola bars, juice

box, and bottled water. We may

have only been a few hundred

yards from the house, but a per-

son can never be too careful. If a

sudden blizzard blew up on a

sixty degree day, we would be in

good shape.

I had hunted the same spot a

few days before. That day, I had

used my rattling antlers to call

in three small bucks. None were

the deer I wanted to take, but it

was great sport calling them in.

One large buck sneaked in to

within twenty feet where he

stood snorting and stomping hisfoot like a nervous doe. He was

so close I could not draw on him

without being busted. He even-

tually trotted off warning every-

thing in the area of my location

and I never did get a shot. I

hoped things would go as well or

better with Zane along.

With the wind continuing to

blow as it was, chances were not

good. We would not be so choosy

as I had been. A first deer is a

major hurdle, no matter the size.

This would be his first.

We set up our equipment in a

valley out of the wind and waited

for a half hour before beginning

to call. The deer we spooked

while setting up would be out of

the area and hopefully we could

call in some that didnt know we

were there. The secret to hunting

from a blind is to be down wind

of the deer and remain quiet. Wewere down wind of where the

deer would most likely approach,

but the quiet part was difficult.

There are a certain number of

things an eight year old needs to

discuss with his grandfather on a

sunny Sunday afternoon.

Another temptation, when the

deer are not active, is squirrels.

Zane has been squirrel hunting

and the sight of squirrels scam-

pering about a few feet in front of

us was almost too much to bear.

Several times I heard a whisper,

Can I shoot him, Grandpa?

One day, when he is buying his

own arrows and broadhead tips,he can make that decision. Most

of us have lost at least one high

priced arrow or hunting tip from

shooting an annoying squirrel. I

told him to wait for a deer.

Before dark, we finally did

rattle in a buck and a doe. They

did not present themselves for a

shot, but we had called them in.

We both considered this a suc-

cess. We didnt get a deer but on

the positive side, we didnt have

to clean one on Sunday night.

By Walter Scott

The positive side

Dear friends,

Were having a short week this week, as Thanksgiving is on Thursday, and

it seems that most folks prefer to shop on Black Friday, so Stacey and I dont

have to come in to work (Thanks Aaron.) Not me though, I went once, years

ago, and decided there were no bargains big enough for me to brave the

crowds (some people were quite nasty and rude) ever again. In fact, my broth-er-in-law had things taken right out of his cart by someone that either could-

nt find or couldnt be bothered to find what they wanted. Really!!

There isnt anything I want that is worth that kind of aggravation. I know I

am in a tiny minority with my lack of shopping desire, but I have none, nada,

zilch, zippo, negatory, etc. Im sure you get the idea!

We are having a non-traditional Thanksgiving meal Thursday at my

daughter Kates. We are all making different kinds of pizza, including Rueben

pizza and chicken alfredo pizza. Melanie is making fruit pizza for dessert.

Should be fun. Then on Friday, I will be at home cooking up a traditional

Thanksgiving meal for all of Sonnys family. Besides, what is better than to

spend the day after Thanksgiving eating and visiting again, and in general,

having a nice family time? I guess WalMart, Target, and all the rest of the

shoppers destinations will just have to get along without me!!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I suppose because it doesnt generate

a lot of business in candy and gift sales the stores dont really promote it,

Halloween stuff shows up as soon as school starts and then the Christmas

decorations and ads come out. Thanksgiving is just lost in the shuffle, andthat is sad. We should all take time to be thankful for everything we have and

the freedoms we enjoy, and not just one day a year. However, especially on the

one day that has been set aside as Thanksgiving Day, we should be able to

spend time being thankful.

On a different note, Browerville had quite a bit more snow than we did in

the Bertha area. We just had a light coating of the white stuff, no need to

shovel or even sweep the front step. So, I was a little surprised when I came

to work this morning and the snow in the back of the Blade office was over

the tops of my shoes. Guess its time to break out the hiking boots and say

goodbye to summer tennis shoes. Oh well, I know the hot and humid days of

July will be back, and then even my tennys will be too warm.

I have been watching a lot of movies and reading books since I had my

knee surgery. I saw the Dr. last week and he said everything is on track with

the healing process. Even though the cuts are small, he said it was very deep

and I should expect to have pain for a good six weeks. This Wednesday will

be four weeks since the surgery, so I am more than half way through the

recovery period. The pain is considerably less than it was before the surgerythough, so I am able to go up and down the basement steps again, and even

carry laundry baskets, yippee!! Im still not able to crawl around on the floor

with the littlest grandkids, and Im thinking that part of my knees may not

ever be up to the floor thing again. Its easier for the kids to climb on me while

Im on the sofa than it is for me to crawl around on a hardwood floor. If they

want grandma to help with a puzzle or dress a Polly Pocket, sitting at the

table will do just fine, or even better--some of the older kids can be called on

to help entertain the little ones so grandma can have a few minutes of adult

conversation. Im voting for option B! I love the kids to death, but maybe read-

ing a nice story and playing something like Im thinking of something would

be just as much fun and give my poor old knee a much needed time out.

Better close now and finish the paper. Have a great Thanksgiving and

remember to count your blessings.

Peggy

DNR investigating

wan deaths

Every fall, officials with the Minnesotaepartment of Natural Resources warnaterfowl hunters to avoid mistakenlyooting trumpeter swans. Notices arented in Minnesotas waterfowl huntinggulations and warning signs are posted some lakes frequented by swans.Despite these initiatives, DNR conser-

tion officers are investigating a numbertrumpeter swan deaths.Trumpeter swans are a federally pro-

cted species. People who shoot themce fines up to $1,700 plus a loss of hunt-g equipment and hunting licenses for upthree years.

Theres really no excuse for shootingone because Minnesota hunters wontencounter any other waterfowl as large as

a trumpeter swan, said Col. Jim Konrad,DNR Enforcement director.

Konrad said that trumpeter swans havelong necks, weigh up to 28 pounds, can be59 to 72 inches long, and have wingspansup to 8 feet.

Snow geese, in comparison, are small-er than the familiar Canada geese thatpopulate the state. They average 25 to 31inches long and weigh only 6 or 7 pounds.

Its like comparing a bus with a mini-van," Konrad said. Also, trumpeter swansare all white, while snow geese have dis-tinct jet-black tips on their wings.

Tundra swans are slightly smaller thantrumpeters. They, too, have the distinctive

long neck and are all white. In Minnesota,both species are protected.

Recent cases where charges have

been filed or that remain under investiga-tion involving protected swans include:

Two men facing charges for killing twotrumpeter swans several weeks ago in theCarlos Avery Wildlife Management Area.

A trumpeter swan was shot and killedin Kandiyohi County and found along agravel road near a large slough.

A trumpeter swan was shot and killednear Brownton.

A trumpeter swan was shot and killednear Pine River.

Someone out there can help us solvethese cases, Konrad said. Anyone withinformation should call the Turn InPoachers hotline at 800-652-9093.
