Sand Companies, B.P. Eyeing Workforce Housing Project in City With an identified need for workforce housing in both Scott County and Belle Plaine, a company is interested in bringing affordable housing to the city. Sand Companies is looking to build a 40-unit apartment complex in Belle Plaine to provide reasonably priced housing for people working at the area’s primary industries, health care facilities and other commercial venues. The city council favors a downtown location, said Cynthia Smith Strack, Belle Plaine’s director of Community Development. Jamie Thelen, president and chief executive officer of Sand Companies recently discussed plans for an apartment complex with an affordability component with the city council during a workshop May 1. The proposed apartment complex would require about two acres. Thelen said he and city staff have been meeting with landowners for potential acquiBelle Plaine High School students Amber Glisczinski and Joe Ruehling arrived at the 2017 BPHS Prom’s Grand March in sition for the needed land. style Saturday afternoon.

median income -- $41,000 for a two-person household, $46,000 for three people living under one roof, and $51,000 for a family of four. Those are wages ranging from $9.86 per hour to $12.26 per hour. Rent for the apartments would range from $805 for a one bedroom to $1,115 for a three-bedroom apartment. Thelen said the apartments would provide affordable housing for people working at businesses like Cambria, Coborn’s, The Lutheran Home and other companies. Sand Companies has apartment buildings in Jordan, Shakopee and elsewhere in Scott County It’s location along the Highway 169 corridor would also make it accessible to workers at businesses in the area. Mayor Chris Meyer said the council is aware of the need for affordable housing in the area. The Metropolitan Council says Belle Plaine should prepare space for 244 affordable housing units by 2040. Those units will likely be in a high-density zoning area, Smith Strack said. The affordability component of the project would be funded through tax credits. Sand Companies is also making application to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA). The next round of applications is due June 15, Thelen said. The amount of the tax credits needed would depend on the propThe annual Pops Concert will viewing on Friday evening be- erty and size of the project in showcase the talents of Belle ginning at 6 p.m Belle Plaine.

BPHS Students’ Sundblad Gets 26 Years for Role in Infant Son’s Death Talents on Display at He’ll Be Eligible for Parole in 2034

The tragic case of 59-day-old Carson Scott Bosquez Sundblad’s death and Joshua Sundblad’s role finally came to a conclusion Monday afternoon (May 8) when Scott County District Court Judge Christian Wilton sentenced him to prison time. Sundblad was sentenced to 313 consecutive months (just over 26 years) for convictions on two counts of first-degree assault and one count of manslaughter. He’ll also serve 15 months of concurrent time for a third-degree assault conviction, said Scott County Attorney Ron Hocevar. Sundblad will be credited 977 days of time served. The sentence was handed down after Wilton found Sundblad guilty last November. Sundblad opted for trial by a judge.

He has been in jail since he was charged in the baby’s death in September of 2014. Sundblad will be eligible for parole in 2034. He’ll be initially sent to the Minnesota Department of Corrections facility in St. Cloud and possibly be assigned elsewhere from there, Hocevar said. Wilton sentenced Sundblad, who will turn 27 Sunday (May 14), to 153 months for the first of the two first-degree assault convictions, 1½ times the state sentencing guidelines. Wilton sentenced Sundblad to 103 months of time for the second first-degree assault conviction. He received a 57-month sentence for the manslaughter conviction. “We’re satisfied with the sentence the judge handed down. We think it was appropriate,” Hocevar said. Prosecutors argued in favor of an upward departure. Sundblad’s defense attorney, Michael McDonald of Prior Lake, had previously pushed for a

downward interpretation of the sentencing guidelines, noting Sundblad had never been in serious legal trouble previously. Hocevar is pleased with the sentence, McDonald unhappy. “We’re disappointed,” McDonald said. “But I can’t say it was outrageous.” Hocevar hopes the sentence will help the Bosquez family heal. A victim’s statement from the baby’s mother, Brittney Ann Bosquez, was read into the record before Wilton read the sentence for the counts on which he determined Sundblad’s guilt. Wilton had previously found Sundblad not guilty on a firstdegree murder charge.

B.P. Residents Celebrate Grant for Mental Health Training Center

State Visual Art Contestants Members of the Belle Plaine High School Visual Arts team have earned spots in the state competition Saturday (May 13) at the Perpich Center for Arts Education. Belle Plaine will be represented by (back row, from left) Sheila Martin (printmaking), Allison Hennes (computerbased artwork), (seated, from left) Hunter Meyer (painting) and Hannah Burmeister (photography).

Southern Valley Alliance’s ‘Jeans & Gems’ One for the Books A record number of people donating a record amount of money made the annual Jeans & Gems fund-raiser Southern Valley Alliance for Battered Women’s biggest individual fund-raiser to-date. “Soft numbers� indicate the April 28 benefit at Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake raised over $100,000 for alliance programming, said Mary Ann Bigaouette, SVABW’s executive director. The previous high for funds raised at Jeans

The “fund-a-cause� was especially successful. It is a giving opportunity where people could pledge specific amounts of money to help pay for specific items, like diapers, or a night in a safe house.

Vern Schultz, president of the ‘Nevin Huested Foundation for Children With Disabilities,’ has announced a major funding grant to be given to the ‘Minnesota Association for Children’s Mental Health’ (MACMH). This Grant in excess of $540,000 will be used to develop a new service center entitled the Nevin Huested Training Center for Children’s Mental Health. Schultz has served as president of the Nevin Huested Foundation for the past several years and his wife, Toodie Schultz, is the current secretary/treasurer. They reside at the Kingsway Retirement Living in Belle Plaine. Schultz reported that this is the largest financial Grant given by the Nevin Huested Foundation. Deborah Saxhaug, executive director for MACMH states this new center will result in an expanded range of mental health services to children, parents and service providers throughout the state of Minnesota. She points out that the demand for children’s mental health services is increasing dramatically. The development of this center will allow for expanded services to out state communities, provide increased training and materials available for parents and service providers in addition to offering direct service to children and youth. Nevin Huested lived his entire life in St. Paul. He was a bachelor with few relatives or close friends. He suffered from a severe skin disease that caused him to shun social contact. It was Huested’s wish that his estate be used to help Minnesota children and youth with disabilities. In 1961, the Nevin

GICS Director Brandy Barrett said the Elders Celebration is a way for the school community to thank the community and its leaders and their history. She described the program as “sheer joy� to witness intergenerational bonds forming. The program is funded by a grant from the Prairie Lake Regional Arts Council and a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. Green Isle Community School is located at 190 McGrann Department of Transportation Street building, acquired via a land swap between the city and state. Jordan saved between $300,000 and $400,000 on the swap. Overall, the Jordan saved about $4 million on the project from the projected cost of building a new police headquarters expected to cost between $6 and $8 million. The new facility is expected to have enough space to serve the city for years, said Jordan Police Chief Brett Empey.

Jordan PD Moves Into New Digs

The 2017 Supercross season was culminated over the weekend with Ryan Dungey winning the season championship in Las Vegas. Dungey entered the season finale Saturday (May 6) needing to finish fourth or better to win the points championship. He did so by the thinnest of margins. From the gate drop in the main event, Eli Tomac and Dungey quickly found their way to the front, first and second, as the crowd and seemingly most of the field watched in blissful anticipation for the dogfight to ensue. The laps clicked off with Tomac cruising at the front with Dungey, whose family lives in

the Belle Plaine area, in tow. The rest of the pack bunched up behind them, with riders like Dungey’s training partner Jason Anderson, Blake Baggett and Tomac’s teammate Josh Grant less than two seconds behind the battle for the lead. Anderson and Baggett were obviously not going to pass Dungey, while Grant was working toward the front to potentially provide some support for Tomac. The trio swapped positions throughout the second half of the race as Tomac and Dungey continued their twisted game of cat-and-mouse, the only race of their lives where neither man wanted the lead. After an apparent eternity, the white flag waved as Tomac

took to his final lap around the track, Dungey still right behind him with Anderson and Grant immediately following. Halfway through the lap, Tomac mistimed a rhythm section, and Dungey jumped into the lead. The two came to a stop in the turn as Tomac’s bike blasted the inside of Dungey’s. Anderson and Grant made it around as the crowd roared. Tomac continued in third, Dungey now in his requisite fourth place. When the checkered flag finally flew, it was Anderson taking the win on the highlight race of the century. Grant let Tomac into second, and Dungey breathed a sigh of relief crossing the line in fourth. By just four points, he had taken his fourth Supercross title. Tomac, as he had through most of the season, pushed Dungey all the way as he won the 450 AMA Supercross champion.

Le Sueur County Has a New Sheriff

Meet Randy.

Le Sueur city councilors are hoping some of their new community development director’s expertise helping businesses is put to good use. The city recently hired Samantha DiMaggio to help guide Le Sueur’s growth. DiMaggio is Shakopee’s economic development coordinator before taking the job in Le Sueur. She’ll earn $91,498 for this year and then see her salary increase by 2½ percent to $93,786 six months after she starts. Her ďŹ rst day in Le Sueur is today (May 10), the Le Sueur News-Herald recently reported. In Shakopee, DiMaggio helped businesses expand and navigate their way around the city’s codebook. Before her arrival in Scott County’s largest city, DiMaggio worked for the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. She was a senior loan ofďŹ cer, providing ďŹ scal and policy analysis for loan and grant operations. DiMaggio arrives in Le Sueur at a time when the city is working on a downtown master plan, a project that could help businesses and shape the new community developer’s impact on the city. DiMaggio was hired without the beneďŹ t of a permanent city administrator. She was one of the ďŹ nalists for the position when the city decided to hold off on hiring a community development director after Jenelle Teppen left for a job with Dakota County earlier this year. When the county decided to move forward with ďŹ lling the position rather than waiting until the mid-summer decision to a new city administrator, the council decided DiMaggio was the right ďŹ t, with or without a permanent city administrator.

Scott County Weighing Changes to New Options Program Changes in state and federal regulations has Scott County commissioners weighing a change in the provider of its popular New Options program against funding the program itself at a signiďŹ cant cost. Last Tuesday (May 2), dozens of county residents asked the commissioners to continue supporting the New Options program, a service for developmentally disabled adults. The

changes in state and federal regulations will increase the cost of the program and change its care procedures. The program serves more than 80 clients. Family members are concerned that an outside provider won’t offer the quality of care their families members have enjoyed. They are also concerned their loved ones will suffer because of turnover of caregivers.

But if the county funds the increased costs on its own, the bill could reach $550,000 in about three years, said Danielle Fox, adult services manager. Scott County plans to seek assistance from state and federal ofďŹ cials to minimize the impact of potential new regulations. The county doesn’t have to make a decision on New Options until new state and federal regulations are enacted.

On a split vote last Tuesday (May 2), Carver County commissioners approved new taxes to pay for improvement to state and county roads. The new taxes include an additional ½-percent sales tax and $20 excise tax on vehicles. Vehicle purchases will not include the ½-percent sales tax. They will be implemented Oct. 1 and should generate about $3.5 million annually. The county board also voted to increase its wheelage tax from $10 to $20. The increase will be implemented Jan. 1 and should generate about $880,000 annually. Commissioners Jim Ische of Hancock Township, Gayle Degler of Chanhasen and Randy Maluchnik of Chaska all voted for the additional taxes. Commissioners Tim Lynch of Hollywood Township and Tom Workman of Chanhassen opposed the additional taxes. Ische said he voted for the new taxes because the state isn’t fulfilling its role as a provider of transportation. He criticized Republicans and DFLers for wasting time on political gamesmanship to make each other look bad rather than taking care of the state’s roads. “Right now, I don’t see much

more of an alternative (than the new taxes),” Ische said. “I just don’t see an alternative. The state’s doing less, and less and less of it (funding roads).” Commissioners had been tight-lipped about their support or objections to the tax. Ische had declined comment on the proposal and passed questions on the proposal to county administration. Board members and county staff asked city councils and the township association for resolutions of support. With the exception of Norwood Young America and Mayer, all of them declined the county’s request. Cologne and Chaska sent the county letters indicating the sentiment they felt it was not their place to take a position on the county proposal. “Carver County is taking a proactive approach in fixing the roads. My hope is that they will not fully rely on the ½-percent sales tax increase, but continue to look for other means to fund road projects,” said Cologne Mayor Matt Lein. The funds the taxes generate will help cover a $128 million shortfall in money needed to pay for road projects the state and county want to implement but lack the funding.

Sundblad (continued from page 1)

approximately 5:22 p.m. Sundblad directed them to a bedroom where they found the baby and his mother. The baby’s skin was dark purple and would only lighten in color when oxygen was administered. The child was pronounced dead that night at Minneapolis Children’s Hospital at 10:52 p.m. An autopsy by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office revealed the baby had several injuries in its head and body. Examiners found a fractured skull as well as bleeding on the brain. They also found fractures to the front and rear of four ribs. The baby’s left wrist was also fractured. The medical examiner ruled the infant’s death a homicide caused by brain injury and compromised sleeping position. The child was born in March seven weeks early. The charge states the mother reported the baby was doing well and gaining weight by his one-month checkup.

lice Department and Bureau of Criminal Apprehension the child’s wrist was likely injured during a diaper changing session. Sundblad also claimed the child’s head injury might have occurred when he was carrying the baby inside the house, tripped over a cat and fell into a door. The child’s head might have struck the door, he told police. Sundblad later recanted that statement and said it was “a lie.” He instead told police the baby might have been injured when he was bouncing the child on his knee and he lost control of

the baby. It fell and the baby’s head hit Sundblad’s knee. He later admitted, the charge states, to dropping the baby on his knee when it was crying as if it was hungry but would not eat. Sundblad admitted to doing that four times, according to the criminal charges, and stopped when he realized he was hurting the baby. Its eyes rolled back into his head. The rib injuries, Sundblad told investigators, likely occurred when he squeezed the baby trying to get his eyes to roll back to their normal position, the charge states.

Ische said the county will likely focus on its projects first with the revenue from the new taxes and then turn its attention to state roads. Cologne could be impacted by the proposal in foreseeable future. The proposed expansion of Highway 212 between Carver and Cologne is near the top of the list of projects that could benefit from the new taxes. “Seeing Highway 212 as a four-lane (roadway) from Chaska to Cologne could be a reality in the next few short years would be a huge win for Cologne,” Lein said. “That will bring Cologne closer to the Twin Cities. Residents traveling to and from Cologne will have much easier and safer drive. With that, new residents will start moving to Cologne. With new residents, we will build more new houses. This is a trickle down effect that will help us as we work on rebuilding our own infrastructure.” Many of the other projects are in Chaska and along highways 212 and 5. The additional revenue will help Carver County be a more attractive recipient of state money for road projects, said County Administrator David Hemze.

Dear Editor, As the Metropolitan Council Representative for District 4, I am ďŹ ercely dedicated to working to advance our region and to represent my district. When I see something that could be detrimental to either of those, I feel it is critical to speak up. Right now, we have an issue that could impact many people in a very negative way. The Transportation Bill recently passed by the Minnesota House of Representatives could have devastating impacts to those who use transit. While some are viewing this as a primarily an urban issue, it is important to understand that these impacts will also be felt in our communities with the brunt taken by senior citizens and people with disabilities who rely on transit services like Metro Mobility and Transit Link programs to remain independent. So how did we get here? For several years, legislators have ignored systemic funding issues for transit in our region. State funding for transit has been at for years, while costs to provide the service have grown by 3 percent annually. Additionally, as our population ages, the demand for Metro Mobility service has been increasing by 5 to 8 percent a year. Those unaddressed funding issues have led to a $74 million funding shortfall for transit services. Instead of addressing those issues, the House of Representatives bill adds more cuts, ballooning the deďŹ cit to $140 million. A cut of that size will have a ripple effect on other services. Transit Link is a discretionary program that the Metropolitan Council funds to connect people in suburban and rural areas to the regular transit system, including areas served solely by

Metro

Anton Heinen, local mechanic, got a patent on a rotary engine that had high prospects. There was a labor boom. The brick yard was operating, new school building, new Latzke mill going up, and ďŹ ve residences. Chas. Gragert drew a complimentary notice for the ďŹ ne oak plank sidewalk he put in fronting the Morrison & Duffy store. There were no cement walks at that time. A sensational suicide in St. Paul was that of a teacher who had been teaching in Blakeley Township. Refusal of her parents’ consent to her marriage was cause of the act. Milton Dairy Co. was putting up another cream station in the area, this one at East Union.

the suburban transit providers. Cuts of the magnitude passed by the House Transportation Bill would force the Council to eliminate this program in its entirety. This will hit suburban communities particularly hard. Likewise, Metro Mobility currently provides rides beyond federal and state-mandated requirements. In fact, 30% of its rides are not required. A large deďŹ cit will force the Council to limit or discontinue some of these rides. Additionally, the House bill requires signiďŹ cant fare increases across all modes of transit well above the fare increases already under consideration, making transit services unaffordable to some riders on ďŹ xed incomes. I believe a well connected transit system is vital to our region’s people and economy. The House Transportation Bill eliminates that possibility. Further, it is a mean-spirited approach that will not only devastate the region’s transit system, it will harm senior citizens and individuals with disabilities in our communities. At this critical junction, it is more important than ever that we tell the legislature why well funded transit service is important for all our communities, urban and suburban. Thank you, Deb Barber Metropolitan Council Member District 4, representing Belle Plaine, Carver, Chaska, Cologne, Hamburg, Jordan, Mayer, New Germany, Norwood Young America, Prior Lake, Savage, Shakopee, Victoria, Waconia, and Watertown

The buildings at the St. Thomas Sportsmans Club are sporting new metal roofs. A hard working crew installed the new roof on Saturday. Congratulations to all the First Communicants. Graeden Callahan made his First Holy Communion on Sunday, May 7 at Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Montgomery with Father George Grafsky. Benny Rutt of Le Center, son of Molly and Steve, grandson of Shirley and Gary, was also one of the recipients. Dick and Carol O’Connell attended Liam O’Connell’s First Communion Saturday at St. Henry’s Catholic church in Monticello and a party at his folks David and Tina’s afterwards. Molly Connelly, Bob and Kelly’s, received her First Communion on Saturday at St. Wenceslaus on Saturday. Ashlyn Simon, Travis and Allie’s, received her sacrament at St. John’s in Union Hill, and Grady Connelly, Joe and Bethany’s, received his at St. Wenceslaus on Sunday. Friends and family of Kellie Jo Schultz, daughter of Kenny and Gwen Schultz, and Jack Boelter, son of Tim and Mary Jo Burns Boelter, gathered at the Henderson Community Center for a Wedding Shower on Saturday. The couple will tie the knot on September 23. John and Betty Halloran have been married for 65 years on May 17. They were married in 1952. Gina O’Connell is the perfect farm wife! She was spotted delivering a hot meal to hubby Brandon while he toiled away at preparing the land for planting on Saturday. Rita O’Connell is enjoying her new raised bed garden, right behind their home in St Thomas. Construction was a joint effort of Doc, Mickey Smith and Butch More. From the archives: For 30 years, Mr. and Mrs. John J. Callahan operated the St. Thomas store, and in the fall they plan to turn the business over to their son, John, and become permanent Florida residents. [BPH May 1957] Thats all, folks. Have a good week.

Q: What’s your plan?

by: Bev Brandt On Wednesday, April 25 at 7:30 p.m. the Friends of Rush River (FORR) met at Henderson RoadHaus for their last meeting before the following Saturday which was the annual spring clean up day of the park. At the meeting the secretaries and treasurers reports were read and approved. It was decided to ask for a few more garbage cans to cover some of the areas within the park. Clean up day went well with about 35-40 people showing up to pitch in and help. A burning permit was obtained and that helped to rid the areas of lots of tree branches and sticks that were gathered. The bathrooms were pressure washed and cleaned, chains saws were heard the entire morning as there were lots of branches down and many trees leaning that needed to be cleaned up. The dirt pile has been leveled as

best as it could because of the wetness of the ground and hopefully in the future it will be dry enough to level some more and seeded in with grass. The people that brought 4-wheelers and trailers were kept very busy all morning hauling cleanup brush and wood. There were also some thistle patches sprayed, etc, Jeff Nielsen supplied the spray. The roads will be graveled. The County will supply the trucks and the FORR group will pay for the crushed concrete that will be brought in to build up and stabilize the whole lower park road. The trails need to be re-opened as the high water the past two years have made some unusable. At the end of a very busy morning, lunch was served for the group, pizza, coleslaw, etc, brought in from the Henderson RoadHaus and supported by Thrivent Financial. The next meeting will be the last Wednesday in November. Have a great summer and come and enjoy the Rush River Park.

Enjoying were runners, aunts, uncles and family. Nine second graders from St. John’s parish received the Sacrament of Holy Communion for the first time last Sunday. The First Communicants and their parents were: Sophia Bell, daughter of Rick and Heidi Bell, Owen Dorzinski, son of Brent and Amy Dorzinski, Ashlyn Fischer, daughter of Neil and Michelle Fischer, Carter Kubes, son of Chad Kubes and Ashley Philips and Emily Bisek, Daren Lemke, son of Tim and Amy Lemke, Noah Marsh, son of Brian Marsh and Jessica Weckman, Logan Paur, son of Brian and Julie Paur, Ashlyn Simon, daughter of Travis and Allie Simon, and Brooke Solheid, daughter of Dan and Kris Solheid.

A great day for runners of all distances at the Run New Prague events last Saturday. Cool temps, sunny skies and a light breeze made for perfect conditions. Runners with Union Hill roots that took part in the 5K were John and Sophia Metzdorff, son and granddaughter of Gen Metzdorff. Sophia placed first in her age group. Running the half marathon were Audrey Zurn and Bridget Smith, daughters of Flavian and Edna Weiers. Bridget placed first in her age group in the half marathon. Also running the half marathon were Judy and Nick Deutsch, daughter and grandson of Leona Weiers. Nick resides in Greenwood Village, CO and he and Judy completed the half marathon side by side. It was a great event with many food and merchandise vendors and lots of good food for the runners after their races. Congrats to all the runners! Humor Corner: An efficiency expert concluded his lecture by advising people to not try his techniques at home. “Why not?” an audience member asked. “I watched my wife’s routine at breakfast for years,” the expert explained. “She made lots of trips to the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying just one item at a time. ‘Honey,’ I suggested, ‘why don’t you try carrying several things at once?” “Did it save time?” someone else asked. “Actually, yes. It used to take her 20 minutes to get breakfast ready. Now I do it in 7.”

If the students who have indicated interest are truly willing to commit to a team, Tri-City United may add two new girls sports next year – swimming and gymnastics. A survey among students indicated the greatest amount of interest for the new sports – about a dozen for each sport was discussed during a recent school board workshop. Twelve student-athletes is not enough to field a full team but it is enough to create a cooperative team, the Montgomery Messenger recently reported. Swimming could be offered cooperatively with Jordan, which is also seeing interest in the creation of a team. Gymnastics could be offered in conjunction with St. Peter or Waseca. The swimming meets would likely be held at the pool at TCU’s middle school in Montgomery. It was last used competitively in 2005 when TCU and New Prague field a co-op team. There has been some interest in boys’ swimming at TCU, but not as much as the girls. If TCU creates cooperative swimming and gymnastics teams, they would need to find

a conference in which to compete since the Minnesota River Conference schools doesn’t compete in either sport. TCU School Board members took note that the students indicating interest in the two sports are not currently participating in a sport. The TCU school

It is up to the individual to decide when to begin receiving Social Security beneďŹ ts. A person can take a reduced beneďŹ t as early as age 62. Or, a former employee can claim a full beneďŹ t at what the Social Security Administration considers to be full retirement age, which, for example, is 66 for anyone born between 1943 and 1954. Otherwise, a person can wait until age 70 for yet a larger beneďŹ t. Bear in mind that, once you elect to receive a reduced beneďŹ t, you remain at that level for the rest of your life (with normal cost-of-living increases). The longer you are apt to live, the more you beneďŹ t from waiting for the larger check. The current generation of retirees is more likely than the last generation to have active retirement years ďŹ lled with a mix of travel, sports, and education. How will you spend your retirement years, and how can you fund those years? Social Security may ďŹ ll only a limited amount of your ďŹ nancial demands.

Even though the project will cost about $120,000 more than expected, the New Prague City Council recently awarded the bid to continue work on the baseball field in preparation to host the 2018 state amateur baseball tournament. The council awarded a bid to Healy Construction of Faribault. Its bid of $360,800 was the lowest of six bids, the New Prague Times recently reported.

fencing and implement miscellaneous improvements. Other work includes preparation and painting steel at the grandstands, wood benches in the dugouts and a sign with the name of the stadium. The bid was higher than expected, in part because of contractors with full schedules, the loss of volunteer labor from the baseball association and increased costs for labor and materials. The city will cover the shortfall with money from a tax abatement payment and contingency money in New Prague’s 2017 budget.

Ask City to Maintain Local Police Dept.

Hundreds of Arlington residents have signed a petition asking the city council to retain a city-controlled police department and full-time police chief rather than contracting with another city or the county. Over 400 residents and businesspersons signed the petition. It was presented to the city council by former councilors Galen Willis and Curt Reetz. May 1, the Arlington Enterprise recently reported. Willis and Reetz contend the city will not save money in the long run and Arlington should provide its citizens that service. The city has had its own police department since the late1800s. Willis said he collected 315 of the 420 people who signed the petition. He believes he could collect far more signatures with a door-knocking campaign. In the wake of open police chief and patrol officer positions, Arlington has been using contracted police services from Gaylord and Sibley County. Councilors offered no comment on the petition since it was presented during the public comment of a recent Arlington City Council meeting.

Town Team Baseball

Town Tigers Out of the Gate at 0-2 by Brett Kruschke, Matt Schultz & Mike Schultz At a fateful hour late Sunday (May 7) afternoon and just an hour’s drive apart, the Minnesota Twins and Belle Plaine Town Tigers were busy testing the allegiance of their supporters by both yielding 10 runs in the top of the ninth inning. While the Twins didn’t score in their last at-bat against the Boston Red Sox, Team Tigertown tallied seven runs and almost snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against the Arlington A’s. When all was said and done, however, it was a frustrating first weekend. Belle Plaine got bushwhacked on Friday (May 5) by Green Isle – one of the top Class C teams in the state – in the season opener, 13-0. Sunday’s league opener against Arlington saw a onerun lead with three outs to go turn into a never-ending ninth and a 15-13 setback, dropping the Tigers at 0-2 (0-1 RVL) on the year. Friday, Jordan comes to town at 7:30 p.m. tilt. The Tigers will also be in action Saturday when they visit one of the more quaint ballparks in the state, St. Benedict, at 4 p.m. At the start of each season, I like to clarify this column’s byline. Generally the Schultz brothers, Mike and Matt, split up the week’s game recaps. I write the sizzling-hot intro and edit their napkin scratch, and then we submit it to the Herald to see what’s left standing after

a trip to Wednesday’s mailbox. It never gets old. We would also like to take a moment to offer our condolences to the family and friends of long-time Herald photographer/ writer/editor Dan Ruud. As his obituary stated and we often witnessed, Dan “had a passion for baseball and photography.” Thanks, Dan, for being a friend all these years.

Green Isle 13, BP 0 (7 innings) The Irish of Green Isle and a nice showing of fans came to town on a picture-perfect opening night. In honor of Cinco de Mayo, however, El Tigre swung at the ball like a piñata and finished with just one hit, coming in the first inning off the bat of veteran Pat Schultz. Mitch Stier started on the mound for Los Tigros and went the first two innings before giving way to Chase Emmers, who recorded five outs. Matt Schultz came on to get the final out of the nine-run fourth, but the damage had already been done. Pat Schultz threw the next two innings while Jon Vinkemeier hurled the final frame. The Tiger defense was not on the pitchers’ side as, despite an offseason of fielding ground balls, the home team committed six errors. Arlington 15, BP 13 The A’s of Arlington came to Tigertown Sunday in the River Valley League opener for both

teams. The final frame, however, turned out to be one of the best examples ever of ugly, early-season town ball. The Tigers trailed 5-1 after five innings but mounted a nice comeback with three runs in the sixth and two in the seventh for a 6-5 lead. With two outs in the seventh, Matt Schultz drove in the tying run, with Stier’s hit-by-pitch giving the Tigers a one-run lead they’d take to the ninth. Things went poorly from there, with Arlington putting up a 10-spot thanks to four hits, two walks and a litany of errors. El Tigre was not discouraged, though, and mounted a seven-run rally in their last cracks to cut the deficit to two runs, bringing the tying run to the plate before the game ended. The key blow for Belle Plaine was a bases-loaded triple by Emmers. Josh Terrio started the game and went four-plus innings while giving up five runs (mostly unearned). Terrio was relieved by Vinkemeier, who shut Arlington down until the ill-fated ninth. Steir and Matt Schultz, who combined to finally finish off the top of the frame, followed him. Offensively, Schultz, who had five hits on the day, conducted the Tiger Train – all the more impressive considering Zac Dahlke is the new chief bookkeeper. Vinkemeier, Aiden Ladd and Luke Narveson each had two hits on the afternoon.

Lee, May and Bess elegantly pull their vintage plow at the old-time plowing demonstration at Melvin Nagel’s farm west of Le Sueur.

Draft Horses Get a Workday Demonstration Shows What They Can Do

Jim and Jerry, Pearl and Penny, Prince and Prance, and Lee, May and Bess broke a sweat as they recently plowed the field in tandem on a recent Saturday afternoon. The draft horse teams and their drivers showed onlookers a glimpse into the past, and maybe the future at the old-time plowing demonstration at Marvin Nagel’s field off Sand Prairie Road just west of Le Sueur. Howard Schneider, event organizer and long time Arlington area farmer, said the field was perfect for plowing because it was easy, soft and not too wet, unlike the harder black soil where he lives. When he was growing up, he never plowed with horses, he used them to cut and rake hay. Donnie Pfarr brought his team, Jim and Jerry, driven by nephew Joel Lueck. Lueck said they wanted to put on a demonstration in this area because the Minnesota Draft Horse Association tends to do events in the north and no one wants to haul their horses that far. They hope to make this an annual event, focusing on other types of prac-

tices such as raking hay. The plows the horses labor in front of are from the early -1900’s, but a factory in Pennsylvania manufactures new horse-drawn Amish machinery, said Schneider. The afternoon started with unexpected excitement. Schneider’s son, Warren was about to lower the blade into the ground when Prince and Prance got spooked and backed up, dumping Warren onto the ground. When they realized they were free, the two draft horses took off full-bore. The men finally caught up with the runners almost a mile away. The senior Schneider said “we hollered ‘Whoa’ but it didn’t make any difference.” Warren was not hurt but Prance broke a bit of his hoof.

‘Amish Boys’

Jim Fredericks of Norseland purchased Pearl and Penny from Amish farmers. “This team was driven by Amish boys” said Fredericks. These are more for pleasure, he continued. “I always wanted horses when I was younger but didn’t

have the money.” Now days, these stately animals walk more streets than fields. They are often busy in parades and weddings. That same night, Lee and May were making a special night for Richard Willart’s granddaughter by delivering her to prom in St. Peter. When asked if the horses like to do this work, two owners agreed, yes. They’re bred for it and it’s good for them, they said. Draft horses weigh around a ton and can haul several thousand pounds with a team of two. They average about 17 hands high where saddle horses average around 15. This is roughly a difference of eight inches in height. They have wider hooves than other horses and the right horse is trained to walk in the furrow to keep the plowing in a straight line. The community came together. A 4-H club sold snacks and a local woman said she was getting to see neighbors she hadn’t seen all winter.

2017 BPHS Prom About 200 Belle Plaine Senior High School students and their dates were dressed to the nines Saturday for the annual prom. After Saturday’s grand march in BPHS’s South Gym, this year’s festivities were at Mall of America. Students enjoyed an evening of dancing at the mall. The post-prom party was held at Nickelodean Universe, the mall’s theme park.
