Special education cooperative explores expansion in Monticello

MONTICELLO — A special education cooperative serving three area school districts is exploring an expansion at the Minnesota Workforce Center in Monticello to accommodate students with intensive needs and potentially bring more of its specialized programs under one roof. The Sherburne Northern Wright Special Education Cooperative, which serves Monticello, Big Lake and Becker, is conducting preliminary assessments of available space at the facility, where most of its programs for students requiring the highest levels of support are already housed. John Weekley, the cooperative’s director of special education, outlined the space challenges during an Oct. 19 presentation to the Monticello School Board. The cooperative hopes to relocate Foundations 1, an elementary program for students with significant emotional and behavioral needs, from Monticello Middle School to the Pathways Education Center at the Workforce Center facility. Foundations 2, which serves secondary students with similar needs, is already located there, along with several other specialized programs. Weekley said bringing the programs together could improve access to specialized instruction, behavioral support and shared staffing resources. “Having more options to support student needs is very important,” he told the board. “It allows us to be really fiscally responsible as well.” The cooperative is also examining whether

Popular coffee chain offers rare NeeDohs, causes traffic jams

Popular coffee drive-thru franchise 7 Brew recently got into some “hot water” after selling limited-edition NeeDohs that caused traffic and chaos earlier this fall. The business idea was a success since it brought in lots of customers, but based on the overwhelming response, it’s likely that franchise owners didn’t expect so many people to show up.

Deibele helps propel Magic football to state semifinals

Monticello football beat Bloomington Jefferson Friday in the Class AAAAA State Quarterfinals 42-7 to advance to the state semifinals for the first time in team history. The Magic and Jaguars played on a neutral site in Forest Lake and after kicking to the Jaguars, the Magic got one of the best starts they could hope for. The Jaguars managed five yards on the first couple plays, bringing up a third and five from their own 23. The Jaguar quarterback escaped pressure to his right, then all the way back to the left before firing an errant pass into the arms of Magic defensive back Carson Deibele. The early interception turned into six when Deibele followed running back Cale Holthaus on an outside run on fourth and goal at the one-yard line. Truit Garcia Silva missed the extra point wide left and the Magic led 6-0. A stop and Jaguar punt set the Magic up with the ball on their own 40. The Magic milked the clock, as the game moved to the second quarter. On third and 16 from the Jaguar 38, Deibele took a bad snap, broke a couple sack attempts and scrambled down the right sideline 37 yards

Maple Plain OKs assessment for reconstruction project

The Maple Plain City Council approved a special assessment as part of the 2026 Downtown Reconstruction Project at its Oct. 26 meeting. It was another difficult vote for the councilmembers in attendance, but all four were in favor of the assessment, which will help pay for improvements to infrastructure originally built between 1930 and 1960. “This is my 12th year as an elected and my seventh assessment hearing, and I’d say they’re always the hardest for me,” said Maple Plain Mayor Julie Maas-Kusske. “Knowing that every single person sitting in this room will be assessed at one point or another; it is not easy, it is hard, and I know everyone works hard for every dollar they have.” The city can assess specials at a rate of between 20 and 50 percent but has traditionally tried to split the difference at around 35 percent. “In particular with this project, the city covered everything we possibly could,” the mayor said. Most of the pavement throughout the project area has deteriorated to the point that traditional maintenance is no longer effective. Additionally, water main pipes are fragile and subject to breaks, according to a staff report. Also, the sewer pipes are susceptible

Council approves final plat for Seat Cover Solutions expansion

MONTICELLO — Plans for a new Seat Cover Solutions warehouse and processing facility in Monticello's Otter Creek Business Park took another step forward Monday, Nov. 9, when the City Council approved the project's final plat and development agreement. The approval follows the council's Oct. 26 approval of a preliminary plat for the project, which calls for a 110,000-square-foot facility representing an investment of approximately $11 million. Seat Cover Solutions imports, sells and distributes custom-fit vehicle seat covers throughout the United States and internationally. The project was initially proposed as a 55,000-square-foot facility before plans were expanded to 110,000 square feet. The city currently owns the property and must consent to the development agreement. The developer will purchase the land after the final plat is recorded. The development agreement establishes the terms and conditions for the project, including required fees and financial securities. Final plat approval remains subject to the requirements and conditions established during preliminary plat approval.

Spartans storm into Class 4A semifinals

Orono moved within two victories of back-to-back state championships with a 56-20 beating of SMB on Thursday night at Buffalo High School in the Class 4A state tournament quarterfinals. Senior quarterback Finn Dyvik continued his stellar season for the Spartans, throwing three touchdown passes and running for two more scores. “Great state playoff win for us last night,” Orono head coach Joe McPherson said. “SMB came out strong and I was proud of our defense for making adjustments during the game to hold them to only 14 points in the first half.” SMB, led by freshman quarterback Carter Cupito, hung around for nearly a half. The Wolfpack cut the Orono lead to 16-14 with a Cupito to James Grossman touchdown 1:50 before the break. Cupito already has a scholarship offer from the University of Minnesota and is the son of former Gopher QB Bryan Cupito. But the Spartans had a quick answer and dominated the third quarter to put the game on ice. Just 38 seconds after SMB scored, Dyvik connected with Bennett Halverson for a 29-yard touchdown connection. Dyvik’s 2-point run made it 24-14 at the intermission. The third quarter was all Spartans. Just 18 seconds into the period,
