2530,"Accelerated Prairie Restoration and Enhancement on DNR Lands, Phase 3",2012,1652000,"ML 2011, First Special Session, Ch. 6, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 2(b)","$1,652,000 the first year is to the commissioner of natural resources to accelerate the restoration and enhancement on wildlife management areas, scientific and natural areas, and land under native prairie bank easements.",,"Enhance 20,600 acres of prairie",,,n/a,1567500,39800,,8.80,"MN DNR","State Government","This appropriation funded 283 projects totaling 21,953 acres. The two largest types of enhancement were 112 woody removal projects totaling 10,160 acres and 134 prescribed burns totaling 10,082 acres. Additionally, we seeded 30 sites totaling 1386 acres, put in infrastructure for conservation grazing of 236 acres on 3 sites, conducted 3 oak savanna enhancements totaling 42 acres, and treated 47 acres of invasive species on 2 sites.",,"Final ReportThis was a shared appropriation between the Fish & Wildlife (FAW) and the Ecological & Water Resources (EWR) Divisions within the DNR.  Both Divisions requested priority grassland projects from field staff across the state.  When this appropriation was funded, the Prairie Plan and other large-scale prairie-focused strategic plans were still in their infancy.  Parcels on the initial parcel list included in the funding request were developed primarily using priorities developed at the regional and areas levels by Area Wildlife Managers and SNA field staff. The parcel list changed substantially from the time of the request as the project went on because of several factors, including: 1) one of the core strengths of the Roving Crew is their flexibility to move quickly on a priority habitat enhancement opportunity, and this often meant addressing parcels that met the appropriation’s purpose, but not on the parcel list; 2) given the nature and purpose of the Roving Crew, parcels/projects done by them were not on the original list, but were added upon completion; and 3) site condition and weather help determine whether we can work on a given project on a given day, and we do our best to find alternate parcels of similar value/priority, even if not on the original parcel list, to maximize efficiency.  Especially when it comes to weather issues (usually ‘too wet’), often large areas affected.  The flexibility of the Roving Crew allowed them to do same enhancement work, but on WMAs in nearby counties not as affected by the weather. For all these reasons, we added a number of sites in counties not originally included in the parcel list.  Although it can make reporting challenging, we feel this dynamic flexibility is one of the strengths of our Roving Crews and our contracting process.  While many appropriations highlight specific projects, “what” they did, we feel the strength of this appropriation is in the cumulative effect of many small projects and “how” we did it.  Specifically, we did a lot of this work by developing the Region 4 (Southern) DNR Roving Crew.  This crew is located at Lac Qui Parle.  As part of developing a new crew, office and shop space had to be developed, crews hired, and those crews needed to be equipped.  That was followed by a steep learning curve as the crew coalesced and began working on projects.  These crews only do habitat work.  We try to minimize the time spent with paperwork, office work, budgets, etc, so that they can fully devote their time to ‘boots on the ground’ habitat enhancement projects.  At the same time, there were some inclement weather patterns during these years that limited the activities of the crews during some periods.  Even given those unavoidable issues, the appropriation exceeded its target acres.  It is our assessment that these initial years are the slowest and therefore least productive.  This crew, as well as the other two, are all functioning as highly efficient teams.  The rest of the work was done with contractors, which stimulates local rural economies.  According to the research literature, we actually underestimating the acres enhanced, especially as it relates to woody removal projects.  Numerous studies show it’s not just the area ‘under the trees’ that impact grassland birds, but the area around the woody vegetation.  Some species simply won’t nest near woody cover and other studies show high nest predation (gamebird) or brood parasitism (songbirds) rates near woody cover.  By removing even a few trees from the center of a grassland, we are actually enhancing the entire area.  Snyder (1984) found that pheasant nest success double greater than 600 meters from a tree.  That means for every tree, or clump of trees, removed we are effectively enhancing nesting success in the surrounding 280 acres of grassland.Although this appropriation focused on the Roving Crew, we can highlight a couple projects as small examples of all the work that we are proud of.  Glenflur WMA – Cottonwood County.  This 165 acre tree removal project substantially opened up this tract.  This WMA is part of the Cottonwood River Prairie Core Area and contains areas of unbroken prairie.  This site had not experienced significance disturbance, other than heavy grazing, in several decades.  A lack of disturbance had allowed tree succession to begin to invade. Prairie Bush Clover and Loggerhead Shrike are SGCN noted in this area.Lac qui Parle WMA-Nygard Tract – Swift County.  This tract is part of the larger Chippewa Prairie on the Lac qui Parle WMA and is part of a Prairie Plan Core Area.  This remnant prairie had been moderately grazed and had not seen disturbance by fire in decades.  Woody encroachment was beginning to take hold prior to this project.  Through a combination of tree removal, prescribed burning and grazing this site is now in good condition with sightings of several native prairie species that were suppressed due to lack of disturbance from fire.  This area has recent sightings of Marbled Godwits, Slender Milk Vetch, Loggerhead Shrike and Upland Sandpipers.The SNA Program was able to start a series of contracted woody removal projects at Swede’s Forest SNA.  Swede’s Forest is home to a large population of the rare five-lined skink.  The management being completed here is focused on removal of encroaching red cedar and invasive buckthorn, improving habitat not only for the five-lined skink but also for the multiple other wildlife species that call this site home.Additionally, SNA staff, with support of CCM, were able to conduct a 109 acre prescribed burn at Prairie Coteau SNA.  Prairie Coteau SNA is one of the most important and stunning prairies in southwestern Minnesota.  This prescribed burn helped improve habitat for grassland gamebird species found on the site in addition to the rare non-game species.It was difficult to assign an exact dollar figure to each person and each project.  What I did was take the total personnel budget, identify the ratio of FTE/years, and scale the personnel budget to that ratio.  I used the same approach on the parcel list.  I took the total budget and total acres, identified percentage of acres for each project relative to the acre total, and assigned the ratio of funds to that project. ",2011-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Greg,Hoch,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Rd","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5230,greg.hoch@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Benton, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Carver, Chippewa, Clay, Cottonwood, Dodge, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Isanti, Jackson, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Morrison, Mower, Murray, Nicollet, Nobles, Norman, Otter Tail, Pipestone, Redwood, Renville, Sherburne, Sibley, Stearns, Swift, Todd, Wabasha, Wadena, Washington, Watonwan, Winona, Wright, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-prairie-restoration-and-enhancement-dnr-lands-phase-3,,,,

More Minnesotans are able to engage in or with the work of Minnesota artists.","Though I didn't mark this as an expected project outcome in my grant, it became an outcome for all the artists who played on my album and at the CD release: Each of the 7 players, who are at the top of their fields, told me this was some of the most challenging music they've had to learn and play. Without intending it, I had exposed them to an unfamiliar idiom (Czech, Slovak, and Rusyn folk music) that became a learning experience for each of them on their instruments, with the added challenge of successfully melding that folk music with the American folk styles they are more familiar with. I also learned a great deal about American bluegrass, country, and Americana with the added challenge of arranging Eastern European songs in an American folk idiom. The evaluation is in the musicians' comments to me and in what I hear on the recording—a seamless confluence of styles. 2: For the first time, I self-produced both a solo album and an accompanying CD release party, both of which required tremendous planning, promotion, networking, researching, budgeting, and negotiating. Without working diligently on each of those skills, I could neither have completed the album, nor could the performance have been scheduled in time (the album was released 2 weeks before the grant period ended, with the show shortly thereafter on April 20). The most obvious achievement was in the promotion of both: I had interviews on KFAI's Womenfolk and Fubar Omniverse and on Minnesota Public Radio's Radio Heartland; I had radio play beyond those programs; I included Quick Response codes on my posters to track traffic to my site; at least 2 venues (Cesko-Slovanský Podporující Spolek Hall and Black Dog Café) promoted my work on my behalf; and I used Facebook and social media nearly every day to gain exposure.

We had estimated that 3,390 audience members would be served by the seven concerts in the grant project; these actually served 4,079 including many first-time attendees. The grant also made it possible for Quartet San Francisco to hold a master class for orchestra students at Hopkins High School and for The Calder Quartet to hold a master class for students at Mainstreet School of the Performing Arts (Hopkins). We were also able to pilot pre-concert talks (called Musical Notes) to provide context for interested concert goers. Box office reports, Facebook outreach and head counts were used to measure participation, new audience and geographic reach. Our concert series is an ongoing program.

Additionally, of the arts learners who had previous theatre experience, 70% of those experiences occurred at their school, thus this project increased the venues in which youth could have arts learning opportunities. To measure the outcomes, arts learners took a pre-program survey collecting data on the frequency and venue of arts learning experiences before coming to Woodland Hills and arts learning opportunities at Woodland Hills. 2: Before participating in this project, 96% of students had never had an in depth theatre experience and only 38% of students had any experience in theatre. Following the completion of the project, 21% of participants said they would “definitely” participate in theatre outside of Woodland Hills, 32% said they were “interested”, and 42% said they “might” participate. Only 5% stated that they would “definitely not” participate in theatre in the future. It is our conclusion that this project introduced students to a new arts opportunity that many will pursue in the future.

The Center for Irish Music is proud its community music school has become an unprecedented new revenue stream for the area’s most accomplished Irish musicians and artists. The growth of the Center for Irish Music over the past six years has provided artistic and financial opportunities for professional, traditional musicians in the community. We have gone from two paid instructors in 2004 to 18 currently. Paying our fine musicians not only the respect they deserve, but the living wage they require to practice and perfect their art is one of the values at the very heart of the Center for Irish Music, and is an outcome we share with the Community Arts Schools and Conservatories program. Ongoing programming is evaluated during instructor meetings held three times per year with feedback presented at monthly board meetings. Programming is also evaluated by examining statistics such as repeat enrollment, attendance at family sessions and larger events, and the number of new students enrolled. General interest in the center is measured by the number of sustaining members, the number of requests to our e-mail distribution and mailing lists, the number and type of media promoting the center, the number of Facebook/My Space friends, and the number of hits on our web site. Finally, the success of programming is measured by its impact on our financial balance sheet. Evaluations with instructors have shown an ongoing interest in participatory decision-making. Instructors play a critical role running CIM and have taken the lead on suggesting changes to the instructor compensation system and class fees. Evaluations from students have indicated a continued strong interest in Irish song classes and CIM has expanded this area of programming both in regular classes and with master workshops. Progress towards meeting our outcomes will be measured by the number of students enrolled in classes, the number of outreach events conducted in the coming years, and in community attendance at our events.","Curriculum for an early childhood class for 2-4 year olds was developed and a new class was offered.

The author, an engaging speaker, visited and led discussions related to her book. The library was also able to partner with Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation in conjunction with the series. Lady Gaga was in town with her Born Brave Bus, and teen participants in our series got the opportunity to visit her bus and enjoy a pre-show party hosted by Gaga. IART Families celebrated diversity in families. The series featured three events where kids and their families had the chance to make art and hear stories celebrating different families. Each event included a collaborative art project. The series culminated at the Minnesota Museum of American Art, where the collaborative art projects were on display. Gypsy Festival: Three live music performances and an exhibit drew over 700 people. The performances consisted of Gypsy Jazz, Spanish Flamenco, and the music of Django Reinhardt. Narration was provided by local artist Michael Dregni for two concerts and audiences reported on their appreciation of the excellent musicians and the melding of artistry and learning. Michael Dregni coordinated a display of Gypsy Jazz/Django Reinhardt memorabilia for the display cases at Central Library to accompany the performances. Dakota War Sesquicentennial: Over 150 people came to three different lectures/programs that presented stories, images, and sites from both sides of the conflict and showed how ripple effects continue to this day. Events were held with local authors John Koblas and Curt Dahlin and a bus tour with local historian Dave Riehle visited sites with significance to the Dakota. Audiences reported great interest in local history and appreciated the multiple perspectives presented in the series. Scott County Library: Off-Site Summer Reading Program provided reading records, prizes, and sets of books to childcare, summer school, and free lunch programs in each branch library's community. With hiring a contractor to manage the program, we were able to expand to 1,690 participants at 15 sites; hosted 12 events with performers for participants and their families. First Thursdays Danceteria continues to be very popular and draws large crowds and rave reviews. The sense of community built in a social dance is like no other and many participants comment on the quality of the music and venue and on the opportunity to sample different musical traditions. lnkSlingers: Writers in the Libraries hosted 11 writing workshops. Belle Plaine and Prior Lake also each hosted youth writing workshops as part of this series. Comments from participants mentioned often that the information in the classes was very inspiring, and useful to them. They said that the instructors gave practical, hands-on information and mentioned a number of times how the instructor had inspired and motivated them. They also appreciated the variety of teachers and authors, and asked for more writing classes on a wider variety of topics. As a direct result of the writing classes, two writing groups formed and continue to meet. Booked! Live Bands at Your Library is a new program developed to include more contemporary music and to offer the opportunity for suburban and rural communities to enjoy top-quality musicians from the metro area in the up-close and personal venue of the library. The musical groups played to packed, sometimes standing­ room-only, crowds with a wider variety of ages than is usually seen at library programs. The Savage Library commissioned mural artist Greg Preslicka to do a mural called ""Taking Flight"" on two walls of the children's area. The artist spent a week in January working on the project and gave three presentations on the mural process, and many more watched and interacted with the artist as he worked on the mural. The community really enjoyed the opportunity to watch the mural in process. Washington County Library built on the success of its annual One County, One Book program with Still Standing: The Story of Ssg. John Kriesel. The author is a resident of Washington County and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. The remarkable and inspiring story is of a young man who overcame extraordinary challenges after losing his legs and two buddies in a roadside bomb explosion in Iraq. Storytime for Grown-Ups brings the art of reading aloud and the joy of listening and remembering to residents of senior housing throughout the county. The library hired a professional reader to present a 6-week series of hour-long programs at five senior resident facilities. He read selections of short stories by popular Minnesota authors. After the readings, audience members shared their reactions and memories of similar situations in their own lives. The library invited local independent authors and publishers to offer their e-books to the readers of Washington County. Library Local Content was a partnership with the Midwest Independent Publishers Association. Authors submitted their works online. The library uploaded the works into its OverDrive e-book lending platform. Readers were encouraged to read and rate the books. With the success of our other writing programs we decided to offer another writer's workshop featuring a young and talented author. This time it was Alice Ozma, author of March 2012 One County One Book selection, The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared. When Alice reached out to us saying she would be in the area and would love to come back and do another program with us we jumped at the chance! We decided to host an informal writer's workshop and open it up to both teens and adults. Other memorable youth programs included our dramatic storytelling programs by SteppingStone Theatre where the artists had young toddlers crawling around on the floor acting out The Very Hungry Caterpillar!",2011-07-01,2015-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Chirs,Olson,"Metropolitan Library Service Agency","1619 Dayton Ave., Suite 314","St. Paul",MN,55104,"(651) 649-3169",chris@melsa.org,"Digitization/Online Information Access, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Fund Administration, Grants/Contracts, Preservation, Research","Minnesota Department of Education",,"Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/metropolitan-library-service-agency-legacy-grant-sfy-2012-sfy-2013,,,,

An estimated 200 people took part in StoryWalk at Lebanon Hills Regional Park during its weeklong tenure in October. Families eagerly traveled a mile-long path as they read Gossie by Olivier Dunrea together, page by page. Dakota County Library celebrated Black History Month with the Twin Cities Community Gospel Choir. The Choir consisted of an ensemble of 22 singers. It was absolutely fabulous - the energy, the spirit, the performance! Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford was the featured book for the annual OneBook, One Lakeville. Author Jamie Ford presented at the Lakeville Area Arts Center at an event which included the opening act Cumulus, a jazz band, with special guest vocalist Debbie O'Keefe. Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, and Ford was an engaging and informative speaker. The most meaningful feedback received was from people who stated that they knew little of the Japanese internment, and that our series of programs was very enlightening. Dakota County Library hosted its annual Silver Tea series consisting of programs especially for older adults during Older Americans Month. The Library hosted musical entertainment at all Dakota County Libraries, drawing 739 customers. Librarian feedback was uniformly positive about the quality of the performers and attendance levels. ""Well received by audience. We filled the room beyond capacity and had to overflow into the atrium."" Dakota County Library hosted its 4th annual Rhythm & Words Family Music & Book Festival at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. Nearly 1,900 people attended the festival and The Okee Dokee Brothers' performance filled the main stage which seats over 1,000 people. Hennepin County Library: Drama from the Inside was a writing and theater workshop held at Hennepin County's adult correctional facility. Staff from local theater companies led writing workshops for the residents. The pieces composed by residents were turned into a performance and performed live for residents and was also published. Selected comments from residents include, ""It was nice seeing other women's stories and makes you think a lot on your current situation,"" and, ""The power of the stories touched me deeply. I so appreciate the bravery and honesty of the women who shared their stories."" While the Library has hosted programs celebrating Dia de los Ninos (Children's Book Day) in the past, this year staff focused on developing community partners to strengthen the program. Staff engaged youth in the creation of the program by involving local schools and art centers and increased the number of Spanish speaking families who attended events at the library. Selected comments from attendees who were asked what was the best part of the event include, ""That entire families participated -- a time to share. Thanks,"" ""The community and seeing the puppets up close after. What a great surprise to find at the library today!"" and ""The dances and the piftata, the information about the library."" The Library partnered with Twin Cities Public Television to demonstrate how our Special Collections department has assisted local researchers by producing the ""Treasures Collected, Treasures Shared,"" documentary and web videos. Accompanying the release of the documentary, the Library increased the number of Genealogy Research workshops by bringing in local genealogists. Attendance was excellent and increased the attendance at the staff-led workshops the Library offers year-round. Ramsey County Library: Young Lenses - RCL and CTV North Suburbs partnered to offer an opportunity for girls ages 11 to 14 to examine the representations of women in mainstream media, to connect with other young women and to explore storytelling through video production. The girls watched the award winning documentary ""Miss Representation"" and made their own autobiographical TV show. ""A Girls Eye View"" opening was held in the library for the public to view the works created during the project. Kindergarten Library Card Sign Up Celebration - Children's librarians visited every kindergarten class in RCL's service area and encouraged kids to get their first library card. Kindergarteners and their families were invited to the library for a day filled with art activities, award-winning authors, musical performances and an award ceremony where the kids received their library card. We continue to offer the always popular music and art series during school breaks. History Series - A three month Civil War series, co-sponsored by National Endowment of the Humanities and American Library Association, was the highlight of our always popular history programs. Events ranged from book talks to re-enactments and were offered for all ages. We continue to partner with local historical societies offering monthly workshops that fill our rooms to capacity. White Bear History Challenge - RCL partnered with the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society on this geocaching challenge to make history fun. The challenge was kicked-off at the library with a workshop introducing geocaching and the Munzee game to newbies. This treasure hunt highlights 15 historic points in our community and includes collector cards featuring the site's photo and fun history facts. ""We took a class and now our little ones found their first cache all by themselves!"" ""What a great tour! Thanks for the memories!"" Senior Art Series - This year RCL added programming specifically for senior citizens. Art classes that combined art history with hands-on projects were offered in multiple locations. ""Everything was wonderful. Although I am 83 I am still able to learn."" ""I enjoyed every minute of the class. I was surprised how creative I could be."" Saint Paul Public Library conducted eighteen program series. Thirteen of the series focused on programming for youth and five focused on programming for adults. SPPL worked with several local organizations and a roster of nearly all Minnesotan artists/presenters. Take the Mic was all about teens and music. The series included workshops on music songwriting, recording, and editing. The highlight was a concert in downtown Saint Paul's Rice Park featuring local teen bands, as well as musician Alicia Steele. We were thrilled to be able to offer local teens the chance to perform in a public venue, alongside a professional musician. Read Brave encouraged the community to read the book Everybody Sees the Ants, which addresses topics of bullying, war and family. The author, an engaging speaker, visited and led discussions related to her book. The library was also able to partner with Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation in conjunction with the series. Lady Gaga was in town with her Born Brave Bus, and teen participants in our series got the opportunity to visit her bus and enjoy a pre-show party hosted by Gaga. IART Families celebrated diversity in families. The series featured three events where kids and their families had the chance to make art and hear stories celebrating different families. Each event included a collaborative art project. The series culminated at the Minnesota Museum of American Art, where the collaborative art projects were on display. Gypsy Festival: Three live music performances and an exhibit drew over 700 people. The performances consisted of Gypsy Jazz, Spanish Flamenco, and the music of Django Reinhardt. Narration was provided by local artist Michael Dregni for two concerts and audiences reported on their appreciation of the excellent musicians and the melding of artistry and learning. Michael Dregni coordinated a display of Gypsy Jazz/Django Reinhardt memorabilia for the display cases at Central Library to accompany the performances. Dakota War Sesquicentennial: Over 150 people came to three different lectures/programs that presented stories, images, and sites from both sides of the conflict and showed how ripple effects continue to this day. Events were held with local authors John Koblas and Curt Dahlin and a bus tour with local historian Dave Riehle visited sites with significance to the Dakota. Audiences reported great interest in local history and appreciated the multiple perspectives presented in the series. Scott County Library: Off-Site Summer Reading Program provided reading records, prizes, and sets of books to childcare, summer school, and free lunch programs in each branch library's community. With hiring a contractor to manage the program, we were able to expand to 1,690 participants at 15 sites; hosted 12 events with performers for participants and their families. First Thursdays Danceteria continues to be very popular and draws large crowds and rave reviews. The sense of community built in a social dance is like no other and many participants comment on the quality of the music and venue and on the opportunity to sample different musical traditions. lnkSlingers: Writers in the Libraries hosted 11 writing workshops. Belle Plaine and Prior Lake also each hosted youth writing workshops as part of this series. Comments from participants mentioned often that the information in the classes was very inspiring, and useful to them. They said that the instructors gave practical, hands-on information and mentioned a number of times how the instructor had inspired and motivated them. They also appreciated the variety of teachers and authors, and asked for more writing classes on a wider variety of topics. As a direct result of the writing classes, two writing groups formed and continue to meet. Booked! Live Bands at Your Library is a new program developed to include more contemporary music and to offer the opportunity for suburban and rural communities to enjoy top-quality musicians from the metro area in the up-close and personal venue of the library. The musical groups played to packed, sometimes standing­ room-only, crowds with a wider variety of ages than is usually seen at library programs. The Savage Library commissioned mural artist Greg Preslicka to do a mural called ""Taking Flight"" on two walls of the children's area. The artist spent a week in January working on the project and gave three presentations on the mural process, and many more watched and interacted with the artist as he worked on the mural. The community really enjoyed the opportunity to watch the mural in process. Washington County Library built on the success of its annual One County, One Book program with Still Standing: The Story of Ssg. John Kriesel. The author is a resident of Washington County and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. The remarkable and inspiring story is of a young man who overcame extraordinary challenges after losing his legs and two buddies in a roadside bomb explosion in Iraq. Storytime for Grown-Ups brings the art of reading aloud and the joy of listening and remembering to residents of senior housing throughout the county. The library hired a professional reader to present a 6-week series of hour-long programs at five senior resident facilities. He read selections of short stories by popular Minnesota authors. After the readings, audience members shared their reactions and memories of similar situations in their own lives. The library invited local independent authors and publishers to offer their e-books to the readers of Washington County. Library Local Content was a partnership with the Midwest Independent Publishers Association. Authors submitted their works online. The library uploaded the works into its OverDrive e-book lending platform. Readers were encouraged to read and rate the books. With the success of our other writing programs we decided to offer another writer's workshop featuring a young and talented author. This time it was Alice Ozma, author of March 2012 One County One Book selection, The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared. When Alice reached out to us saying she would be in the area and would love to come back and do another program with us we jumped at the chance! We decided to host an informal writer's workshop and open it up to both teens and adults. Other memorable youth programs included our dramatic storytelling programs by SteppingStone Theatre where the artists had young toddlers crawling around on the floor acting out The Very Hungry Caterpillar!",2011-07-01,2015-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Chirs,Olson,"Metropolitan Library Service Agency","1619 Dayton Ave., Suite 314","St. Paul",MN,55104,"(651) 649-3169",chris@melsa.org,"Digitization/Online Information Access, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Fund Administration, Grants/Contracts, Preservation, Research","Minnesota Department of Education",,"Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/metropolitan-library-service-agency-legacy-grant-sfy-2012-sfy-2013,,,,

We also featured 250 Minnesota jazz artists new to the Festival. Minnesota State Arts Board support helped underwrite a significant expansion to twenty-three free venues, an important strategy to attract more audiences by presenting more Minnesota artists. The Festival has always presented a wide range of jazz, but support this year especially helped increase the number of Latin Jazz artists, that included Francisco Mela and the Cuban Safari, from Cuba; Araya Orta Latin Jazz Quartet, from Costa Rica; and Ticket to Brasil, from Brazil. 2: Thirty-one free venues, a seven-fold increase from 2011’s three free stages, enabled the Festival to present more Minnesota artists and to attract greater audiences. Because this is a free, un-ticketed event, we are not able to track new versus first-time attendees.

The festival showcased local and regional musical talent, offered educational artistic opportunities for all ages and demonstrated the skill and knowledge of a diverse group of talented artists. It highlighted the Hutchinson area's growing arts culture and folk music heritage, and leveraged the wide array of strong community assets available. Our outcomes related to overall festival mission were evaluated by the volunteer steering committee. Following the festival, all sub-committees met to debrief on their particular areas of focus, including talent, site/security/technology, marketing, fundraising, hospitality and volunteer coordination. Each group provided feedback that the steering committee in turn discussed during a debrief session. Feedback was very positive, especially related to the artists showcased. 2: One of the festival's biggest assets is that roots music covers such a wide variety; there will always be many talented artists to choose from. It directly connects to Hutchinson's heritage, since the community was founded by a family of folk singers. In addition to the more than 50 artists featured during the festival weekend, RiverSong added a pre-festival music series, which brought musicians to various venues for the four months leading to the festival. The series was hosted at the Hutchinson Center for the Arts, Hutchinson Mall, Crow River Winery and Zellas restaurant. It brought awareness to the upcoming festival, provided high-quality music performances to the community that would've otherwise not been available, and built audience for the artists.

More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. We achieved our goal in serving thirty-six new youth, and we had seventy-four total participants, including all youth, mentors and parents. We used two methods to eliminate barriers. First, we made the workshops open to all youths and their mentors and/or parents, which, by including adults in the activities, eliminated the barrier to transportation. Secondly, in support of that effort, we promoted the workshops to parents and mentors rather than to youths.","The primary outcome of this project was the provision of three workshops for at-risk youth, culminating in live performances that addressed and eliminated multiple barriers to participation in arts for youth in Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities’ programs. Our organization has served youth for over eighty years. From experience, we know that lack of transportation, lack of resources and lack of a responsible adult to “drive” the event provide the main barriers to arts participation. Youth are usually open to new experiences, but, without an adult to provide encouragement and transportation, they simply cannot manage to participate in those experiences. By inviting parents and mentors to participate, we addressed the transportation barrier, and, by making the event free, we addressed the issue of lack of resources. Due to the structure of our program, we can usually count on an adult mentor to provide transportation to as well as support, encouragement, and organization necessary for participation in arts events. Unfortunately, however, such measures only temporarily eliminate barriers to youth participation, as they cease to be relevant when youth leave our program. 2: We increased the probability that workshop participants will involve themselves in future theater productions. We enjoyed collaborating with the staff at Harmony Theater, as they worked very well with both youth and Big Brothers Big Sisters staff. Harmony reported that our partnership offered them an opportunity to serve a population outside of their traditional white, middle-class demographic, which felt meaningful to them. Recently, Harmony proposed a new joint project between our organizations. We had thirty-six youth and seventy-four total participants in our workshops, which met our participation goal. We leveraged the trust in our relationships with parents and mentors of youth in our programs to promote and encourage participation. We also made participation in the workshops available to parents in addition to youth and their mentors.

Measured against average March concert attendance figures over the past five years, this concert should attract an increase over the past average. Numbers of audience members attending the conductor chat and interacting with Dr. Burgdorf and other Buffalo Community Orchestra principals after the concert will be witnessed by Buffalo Community Orchestra Board members to be considered as part of the post-concert evaluation. The motivation of young musicians who stay with the Suzuki program long enough to enable them to play orchestral pieces on Buffalo Community Orchestra's level will be gauged by the numbers of students increasing year after year, eventually joining Buffalo Community Orchestra as regular members even by the middle school ages. We expect these student members of Buffalo Community Orchestra to remain steady or grow beyond the 20% level. Buffalo Community Orchestra membership is a time and energy commitment for them beyond their involvement in school orchestras, but it launches them into adult and lifetime music, which is a goal of Buffalo Community Orchestra.Audience numbers exceeding 350 and ticket sales of at least $1900 will reflect how well our publicity has reached out into nearby communities; this figure is derived from past March ticket sale records, especially for 2009, when Dr. Burgdorf last performed. We will hope to see new faces from our large medical community (practitioners and patients) as well as increased student attendance. This will be evident in scanning the audience and at the post-concert reception, where our music leaders and board members will directly solicit feedback on our performance of this music. These figures and impressions will be analyzed at the post-concert board meeting. Involvement of at least one dozen advanced Suzuki string students and their parents participating on stage for the Strauss waltz portion of the concert will indicate the on-going strength of our partnership with the Montrose Suzuki Strings program, to which we devote two of our five concerts annually. The posters, conductor chat, radio talk, concert comments, and post-concert reception will all highlight music as a way to 'travel' to the picturesque Danube region and the variety of countries and cultures connected by the river itself. We will evaluate the enthusiasm of the audience in its applause and in qualitative comments from those who listen to the radio interviews, who ask questions at the Conductor Chat, and who speak with Buffalo Community Orchestra musicians in the post-concert reception. These comments will be discussed at the post-concert Buffalo Community Orchestra board meeting.","Regarding audience access we had set the numeric goal of 350 attendees and ticket sales of $1937.

Over 70% of the region's population relies on groundwater resources for their source of water supply. Securing their safe and plentiful drinking water, while protecting the region's diverse water resources, requires coordinated and ongoing effort. Although the seven-county region is relatively water-rich, the region's steady population growth, increased groundwater pumping, changing land use, and variable weather and climate is challenging some communities' ability to meet current and future demand. Our rising dependence on groundwater for drinking water, particularly since 1980, has become a significant issue. In parts of the region, groundwater levels are declining. In some cases, it is affecting, or has the potential to affect, lake and wetland levels. Additionally, groundwater quality is a challenge that many cities are trying to address.
