Council Okays Expenditures for Bridge, Library Projects

5)

Calls for Final Assessment Hearing on Street Project by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine City Council Monday night authorized expenditures in order to obtain more precise cost estimates for the proposed overpass and library expansion projects. Overpass The council unanimously authorized staff to proceed with services related to the proposed construction of the overpass near the intersection of Highway 169 and County Road 3/ Meridian Street. The total cost of the expenditures is $51,500, which will come from the city’s capital fund budget. At a workshop on July 21, the council directed staff to obtain quotes for the relocation study, soil borings and surveying. Gerry “Mize” Meyer, president of the Belle Plaine Baseball Association, tossed out the ceremonial first pitch Friday night at Tiger Park. Preparing for just about anything behind the The relocation study, which plate was Meyer’s grandson, Jake. Meyer’s granddaughter, Allie, sang the National Anthem.

will cost approximately $3,300, involves the potential purchase of a house and property at 702 South Meridian Street. The study will provide the council and property owner(s) the opportunity to “fully understand the acquisition process and costs prior to finalizing the purchase.” The soil borings and survey services, expected to cost about $26,100 and $22,100, respectively, are required to determine the scope of the work and verify acquisition needs and property impacts. “The quote for the soil boring is from Braun Intertec and the quote for surveying is from Bolton and Menk. Both of these services are included in the preliminary project costs and are required to move forward to the design phase,” reported City Administrator Holly Kreft. Library Expansion The council unanimously approved the hiring of UrbanWorks Architecture of Minneapolis to provide design documents and cost estimates

for the proposed addition to the public library downtown. UrbanWorks will provide the services at a cost of $12,000. Earlier this month, the council authorized staff to request proposals for architectural services for the project. Community Development Director Chelsea Alger had explained that Minnesota Department of Education Library Construction Grant applications for 2015 are due Oct. 2, and in order to apply for a grant to assist with the cost of the library expansion, the city needs to have an architect develop architectural drawings and a cost estimate. On Monday, Alger reported that there is currently about $150,000 in the library fund, which includes what the Belle Plaine Friends of the Library has donated and what the city has budgeted for the project so far. Alger added that the cost of the architectural services will

Hinckley game were played at Arlington. As one Tweeter summed up: This is why town ball is so awesome. Can’t play on your field? Call the neighbors. Thanks for the help. The two host teams, as well as Green Isle, were among the winners, all rather easily. Belle Plaine drubbed Detroit Lakes 10-2 Friday night (see details inside), Green Isle handled Lamberton 9-1 Saturday and Jordan sank Luxemburg Sunday (see below). Belle Plaine has no easy task this Saturday as the defending state Class C champion, the Sartell Muskies, will visit Tiger Park for an 11 a.m. start. All 16 regional champions received first-round byes and will be in action this weekend. Sartell, the champion of Region 1, took full advantage of a depleted Belle Plaine pitching staff in last year’s state championship game in Maple Lake, winning 10-0 in seven innings. The Tigers had played two games the day before (one in Delano and one in Maple Lake), including a 17-inning affair against Howard Lake. There can be no excuse this time around as the Tigers will have had an eight-day off period and will be at home. Ace pitcher Ryan Diers is expected to start on the mound for Belle

Deaths

Venita A. Liebert

Steven P. Hallgren Steven P. Hallgren, 51, of Carlton, passed away on August 17, 2014. He was looking forward to his heaven adventure: meeting Jesus and reuniting with his mom, Shirley. Visitation will be from 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, August 20 at Nelson Funeral Care in Cloquet. The visitation will resume on Thursday, August 21 from 10 a.m. until the 11 a.m. funeral service at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Cloquet, followed with a luncheon in the fellowship hall. Interment service will be at Hillside Cemetery in Carlton. See the family online guest book at www.nelsonfuneralcare.net. Steve was born August 11, 1963, in Belle Plaine, MN. He was the third of Roger and Shirley Hallgren’s eight children. After graduating from Belle Plaine HS, Steve spent a gap year in Karlskoga, Sweden, under the auspices of studying but really enjoyed a year in the sauna. Once home he attended UMD earning a degree in Economics but more importantly meeting his future wife, Kim. In 1989 they moved to Chub Lake and sons Benjamin and Joseph were born in 1991 and 1994 respectively. Steve worked as a UPS driver until 1995, when after his first cancer diagnosis (’91) and subsequent remission, he began work as a financial advisor with AAL, now Thrivent. Steve flourished with Thrivent and it was his success in this position that allowed him to pursue his love for travel. Steve suspected a return of his cancer but chose to complete a pleasure/mission trip to South Africa in March of 2013. Upon return he was diagnosed with cancer and underwent an unsuccessful chemotherapy treatment. Over the following year Steve continued to travel visiting his sister in Florida twice, San Diego for work, Sacramento to see relatives, brought his good friend, Rich Bryant, and his son Ben to Mt. St. Helens, Crater Lake (jumped in), the Redwoods and Yosemite, spent his 50th birthday seeing his 50th state, Alaska, moved Ben to Colorado, and saw Capital Reef, Bryce and Zion National Parks in Utah. He even made his beloved annual golf trip to Laughlin, NV in January. He will be missed by Kim, his wife of 27 years; and sons, Benjamin and Joseph; father, Roger; sisters, Barb (Mark) Schaefer, Ann Hallgren, Kalli (Taki) Matsahushi and Jenni Hallgren; brothers, Scott (Mary Ann), Jon (Brenda) and Brian (Anne) Hallgren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Le Sueur May Push Homeowners to Help Pay for City Sidewalks

Many of Le Sueur’s sidewalks need costly repairs or replacement but the city council isn’t enthusiastic about committing property owners to pay for the work. So a new proposal under review would have residential property owners paying half the cost or the work. From the city’s perspective, it’s likely a better policy and more palatable than the current ordinance governing who pays for sidewalk work. The current ordinance requires residential property owner pay the entire cost of sidewalk repair or replacement, a policy Le Sueur City Administrator Jenelle Teppen concedes is a bit outdated, the Le Sueur News-Herald recently reported. But a new proposal would change the ordinance to require residential property owners pay half the cost of sidewalk work. The city estimates 40 of the 55 blocks with sidewalks need replacement. Half the city’s residential blocks do not have sidewalks. Businesses in Le Sueur are re-

quired to pay for the entire cost of sidewalk repairs/replacement. Councilor Jeff Kerkow supported the proposal, noting it would allow the city to do more work. The city has funded a five-year sidewalk repair/replacement capital investment plan, but the council has not yet enacted it. The council will partake, Teppen said, in additional discussions on sidewalk work later this fall. In Belle Plaine, new sidewalks are 100 percent assessable and shall be included in the total project cost. If a sidewalk is placed

only on one side of the street, assessments will be to properties on both side of the street, regardless of which side the walk is constructed. If replacement sidewalk is built, the cost is 30 percent assessable to the property owner and shall be included in the total project cost. If the sidewalk is placed only on one side of the street, assessments will be to properties on both side of the street. If sidewalks are in need of repair outside of a street project, the work is 100 percent the responsibility of the property owner.

Ames Construction Will Pay for Jordan Stadium Project The Jordan School Board received a windfall recently when Dick Ames, owner of Ames Construction, announced his company would fund improvements to Jordan High School stadium. The district says the estimated value of the work the company will provide is significant, but

the amount won’t be known until the project is complete “He is a very generous, good man who wants to give back to his community that he has ties with,” Jordan School District Superintendent Matt Helgerson said of Ames. In addition to the money to fund the work, Ames Construction will provide the required contractor services to complete the project, the Jordan Independent River Rock Church PO Box 184, Belle Plaine, MN recently reported. The improvements include excavation of the www.riverrockchurch.com existing turf and replacement info@riverrockchurch.com Worship at Chatfield Elem. with field turf, fencing upgrades, track field event construction and @ 330 S.

U of Minnesota - Extension Honors Area Farm Families

Carver-Scott Plant Sale Aug. 23 The Carver-Scott Extension Master Gardeners sixth annual Plant Sale will take place Saturday, Aug. 23 from 9 a.m. to noon in the Cub Foods parking lot at Chaska Commons, 200 Pioneer Trail, Chaska. Perennials grace our yard and garden year after year with their unique foliage and color. However, according to University of Minnesota Extension, many perennial plants tend to die out from the center if not divided on a regular basis. Dividing will help to rejuvenate aging plants and may extend their life span in the garden. Late summer or early fall planting of these divisions and other young plants allows enough time for roots to establish before the ground freezes. The Carver-Scott Extension Master Gardeners will be sell-

ing plants from their own yards and gardens. The sale will feature perennials, shrubs, bulbs, ornamental grasses, select annuals, fresh produce and even garden art all at very reasonable prices. There will be many Extension Master Gardeners on site to offer help with plant selection and answer gardening questions. The Carver-Scott Extension Master Gardeners are 120 dedicated volunteers trained in horticulture by the University of Minnesota Extension Master Gardener program. Proceeds from events like the Plant Sale help fund educational and outreach programs in Carver and Scott counties. For more information, call 952-466-5309 or visit www. carverscottmastergardeners. org.

The University of MinnesotaExtension Service recently announced its county farm families of the year honorees. Lori and Norm Pint of rural Belle Plaine are the Scott County honorees. The 2014 Farm Family Recognition program was held recently at Farmfest.

the Krueger family. Ron grew up on a family farm with dairy cows, pigs, and chickens. In 1970, he took over the home farm and in 1974 he married Pam. In 1981, Ron and Pam purchased their current farm near Arlington. Their farm began with 27 Holstein dairy cows and 100 acres of land. The Kruegers have expanded the farm over the years, adding more milking space and additional barns. Today the Kruegers milk 100 Holsteins. They have a total of 300 head of cattle, which includes the steers, heifers, and calves. They also run 180 acres corn and alfalfa. Ron and Pam have two children, Scott and Julie. Scott supports, works, and lives on the farm in hopes of continuing the family farm with his wife, Stephanie, and their four children. Julie lives is Mankato with her husband Al and their two children. Ron and Pam have been very involved in the community. In 2000 and 2013, they hosted “Breakfast on the Farm,� a program to teach people about farm life. They have also given numerous farm tours to preschool and elementary classes and have worked with the local high school to give students the opportunity to observe a working dairy farm. In addition, they have been chosen to host tours for Japanese farmers, veterinarians from Puerto Rico and Mexico, and most recently farmers from England.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Thirty Years Ago This Week

City Softball Champs The Lutheran Home women’s softball team took first place in the 1984 Belle Plaine Softball Association playoffs. Pictured in the back row, from left, are coach Brad Dahlke, coach Brian Dahlke, Laurie McCormick, Kris Dahlke, Jodi Witt and coach Darwin Dahlke. In the middle row are Sandi Schmidt, Suzanne Fabel, Mary Karl, Lisa Fogarty, Nancy O’Brien and Mary Razor. In the front row are Pam Farrar, Susie Stier, Mary Leonard, Deb Dahlke and Cindy Claeys. The start of the 1984-85 school year was just five days away and latest estimates were calling for 860 students on the first day of classes in the public school system, about the same as the previous year. There would be two new faculty members. Connie Bergs would be the new speech clinician, replacing Maureen Kahonen, who was on extended leave after moving to Finland, her husband’s home country. The other new teacher would be Deanna Konkol, who would be teaching Mrs. Barron’s junior high science class. Mrs. Barron was on maternity leave. Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic School was expecting an enrollment of 84, four more than the previous year. Enrollment at Trinity Lutheran School was expected to see a substantial decline in students, from 92 students to 78. The Belle Plaine School Board had been considering asking voters to approve a $100,000 school referendum that fall but decided at its meeting that Monday night not to hold the referendum that year. Superintendent Dr. John Bartholow stated: “We came up with a better (fund) balance than we thought.� Belle Plaine public schools had their highest enrollment a few years previous (1,111) but was currently at 860. Prairie Plastics of Belle Plaine was manufacturing a product that was sure to excite fishermen everywhere. The product was the first artificial fishing lure to be made from fish and fish byproducts. It even smelled and tasted like real fish. The lures were available at K-Mart, Target and fish specialty stores and bait shops nationwide. The Scott County Board unanimously approved a written policy forbidding sexual harassment in the workplace. It would take effect Sept. 1. Carl Hennen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ron Hennen, was one of 156 young men from throughout the state who participated in the 1984 Mr. Minnesota Teen Program in Morris. The program, in its 50th year, selected individuals based on

their service and achievements in school and their community. Carl was sponsored in the program by the State Bank of Belle Plaine, Belle Plaine Herald and Hennen Jewelry. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Murphy returned from Germany where they visited their daughter, Sheila, who was stationed at Augsburg with the United States Air Force. John A. Mueller, 95, died on Aug. 20 at the Belle Plaine Lutheran Home. He was born on July 17, 1889 in Le Sueur County to Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Mueller. He married Marie Winterfeldt, who preceded him in death. Mueller farmed in Tyrone Township and in Le Sueur County and moved to Belle Plaine in 1973. Funeral services were held at Trinity Evangelical Church Lutheran Church in Belle Plaine. Practice for the 1984 high school football season started that Monday. The Tigers had 57 boys trying out for the team. The returning lettermen were all seniors – Paul Jeffrey, Phil Hennen, Rick Murphy, Tim Traxler, Troy Martin, Greg Schmit, Mori Oestriech, Scott Bergs and Steve Smith. The Tigers’ new coaching staff consisted of head coach Dale Pudlitzke and assistants Jeff Hiltz, Lee Sauter, Daryl Goulson and Bob Brown. The tennis team would play BPHS’s first scheduled athletic event of 1984-85 when they would travel to Prior Lake Aug. 24 to open the season. Members of the team, which was coached by Dan Dressen, were seniors Sara Malin and Carrie Palmer; juniors Courtney Hoelz, Molly Daly and Jill Fogarty; sophomores Sara Miller, Sally Halbmaier, Theresa Wynne and Shelly Meger; and freshmen Dawn Jacobson, Kathy Rogers, Kim Bergs, Julie Schwartz, Michelle Seaver, Shannon Morrision and Lisa Mellgren. The Belle Plaine Police Department held its first ever invitational golf tournament. Brad Krick and his nephew Mark Heglund of Apple Valley won first place in the two-man best ball tournament with a 73.

60 Years Ago (1954)

Gene O’Brien, catcher and manager of the Belle Plaine Tigers town baseball team for eight years, announced his retirement from baseball. He had guided Belle Plaine through its most prosperous and colorful years. Under O’Brien’s heady managing, Belle Plaine won four pennants and tied for a fifth and also took second place at the state baseball tournament twice. In those years attendance at the local park sometimes topped the thousand mark. Belle Plaine schools would open on Sept. 7 with 11 new teachers. Emily Helget, Beverly Nagel and Gerald, Kenneth and Elmer Nagel returned home after a six-day trip through the Dakotas, Montana and Canada. Mrs. Sophia Schwarskoph, 56, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gottfried Eggers of Carver County, died at the family home in Benton Township after an illness of six years. Funeral services were held at Zion Lutheran Church of Benton. Mary Flannery, well-known Assumption resident, died at the Glencoe hospital, where she had been a patient for five months. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Kessler, Glenn and Dale, arrived home after a trip to the south that took them as far as Cuba. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Newell held an open house to commemorate their silver wedding anniversary. A christening party was held in honor of Kevin Leonard Meger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Meger of New Market. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Melchior, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Peter Germsheid and daughter Karen of Le Center, returned after a trip through South Dakota and Iowa. Le Sueur topped Jordan 9-3 to even the MRL championship best of five series at a game apiece. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Casserly, nee Dorothy Townsend, of Minneapolis, born prematurely at St. Barnabus Hospital Aug. 21, died Aug. 23. Interment was in St. Mary’s Cemetery in that city. A total of 317 tickets were sold for a wrestling match staged in front of the Belle Plaine grandstand held in order to benefit the polio fund. Proceeds above expenses totaled $110. Four teenage boys were arrested and fined for damage done after driving their car into a farmer’s cornfield. Funeral services were held for Peter Buesgens at St. Peter and Paul’s Church. Interment was in the parish cemetery. With the departure of Ronald Hennen for military service, his

Scott County, Blakeley Twp. Hosting Separate Meetings on What to Do With County Roads (continued from page 1) Wagner wants residents to have time to contemplate the thoughts and ideas of their neighbors before meeting with Scott County Aug. 25. “This is an opportunity for mature thought. Sometimes you hear something your neighbors have to say and when you have time to think abut it, you might have a different perspective,” Wagner said. Wagner and the other township supervisors have heard from residents who are concerned about the potential closing of county roads 60 and 51. Supervisors are concerned about access to the township and whether the county might try and turn the damaged county roads back to the township. They are also unhappy the county has yet to approach the town board with a potential proposal.

Damaged Roads

Since the storms in June, the county’s highway department staff has been working to assess damage, cleanup debris and evaluate options for permanent repairs to the roadways. All four Scott County roadways were damaged during the storms and the cost of rebuilding is in the millions, said Lisa Freese, the county’s transportation planner. The county is working to expedite major repairs to County Road 1 this fall, Freese said. County Road 6 has also reopened, although major repairs will likely be needed next year, she said.

County roads 51 and 60 experienced significant damage and the long-term impacts are being evaluated, Freese said. “Difficult decisions remain as the costs to restore all four roadways to previous conditions exceed available funding,” Freese said. Scott County wants citizens’ help in prioritizing investments that maintain access and preserve public safety. County staff will be at the meeting to discuss issues and listen to citizen concerns, she said. Oak Crest Elementary School is located at 1101 Commerce Drive W. in Belle Plaine.

Girl Scouts Open House Belle Plaine girls in kindergarten through high school grades and their families interested in more information about Girl Scouts can attend an informational open house Wednesday, Aug. 20 at Chatfield Elementary School.

The cost to join Girl Scouts is $15. Parents who can’t attend the open house but want more information should contact Lisa Rademacher via e-mail at belleplainegirlscouts@gmail.com

Council Okays Expenditures for Bridge, Library Projects (continued from page 1) come from this fund. Alger also reported that hiring UrbanWorks Architecture does not commit the city to the construction of the addition. “This will identify the cost estimate for the addition, giving the city a more definitive outlook on timing of the construction,” stated Alger. In 2013, the Belle Plaine Friends of the Library Board informed the council that they would like to construct an addition to the library that would increase the size of the facility by one-third to one-half. The addition would occur on the city-owned former Front Porch Photography property at 123 West Main Street, which is located next door to the library. In other business Monday night, the council unanimously approved a request by Public Works Superintendent Al Fahey to replace the heating and cooling system in the police department building at a cost of $19,807. Fahey had reported in July that the system, which is the original one from when the building was built decades ago, is failing and no longer repairable. He said he knew this job was going to have to be done and has budgeting for it. Lange Plumbing and Heating of Belle Plaine submitted the quote to do the work. But because of the cost of the job, it was the consensus of the council in July to hold off on okaying the project until at least one or two other potential contractors could bid for the work. Fahey provided those quotes Monday and said that the original quote from Lange’s is still the best way to go both structurally and economically. *Scheduled Monday, Sept. 15 as the date for the final assessment hearing for the 2014 street and utility improvement project. City Administrator Holly Kreft reported that the final cost estimates are known and affected property owners will have the opportunity to comment on their assessment at the hearing, which will begin shortly after 6:30 p.m. The total amount proposed to be assessed is $386,266, which would be payable in annual installments over a seven-year period. In March, the council awarded the project contract to William Mueller and Sons of Carver at the low bid of $1,074,444, which was $173,535 below the engineer’s estimate of $1,247,979. This year’s project included the reconstruction and util-

ity improvements at Raven Street between Meridian and Walnut streets, Chestnut Street between Park Street and Commerce Drive, and Cedar Street between Park Street and Commerce Drive. *Unanimously authorized a change to the landscape at Riverview Park in the Provence on the River neighborhood. Community Development Director Chelsea Alger reported that “due to concerns expressed over the quality of the environment surrounding the trail and play area at Riverview Park, staff and Council Member Cary Coop visited the site and determined that the prairie grasses are not growing as intended, and that in order to create a more inviting area, the prairie grass should be removed approximately 6 feet on each side of the trails and 15 feet from the play area, and replaced with grass.” Alger added that the project is expected to cost “a few hundred dollars” with the work to be completed by the public works department. *Accepted the resignation of part-time police officer Brenda Miller, who had been with the department since April. “Due to family changes, I am not able to continue with my FTO (field training officer). The department’s dedication to the town of Belle Plaine was apparent in all the officers with whom I worked and I will miss serving its citizens,” stated Miller in her letter of resignation. *For the third time this summer, the council tabled a public hearing on a request by Shawn Larson for a variance to construct a detached garage that would exceed height, square footage and maximum garage door height at 1013 Provence Lane. If approved, Larson plans to purchase the lot where the new garage would be built and combine it to his existing parcel. The first tabling was requested by planning and zoning in order to obtain more information, the past two have been asked for by Larson, who wants additional time to work through the details of his variance request. The continuance of the hearing is scheduled for Sept. 15. *Unanimously approved pay request No. 1 and final by Thein Well Inc. for $83,075 for work on the city’s well No. 4 rehabilitation project. Due to the Labor Day holiday, he next regular meeting of the Belle Plaine City Council is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 2 in the City Hall building at 218 North Meridian Street downtown.

“Where you can shop 6 Different Brands at 1 Award Winning Location”

This week is iPad rollout week for students in grades 7-12 in the Belle Plaine Schools. The first iPads were distributed to students on Tuesday night with additional sessions scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and evenings. Parents and students are reminded to bring all completed forms, including the “Single Page” document, an active Apple ID account and appropriate insurance payment to the meeting to help move the process along more quickly. All rollout sessions will be held at Oak Crest Elementary School. Students must be registered online for the session they wish to attend. Work continues on the restroom project at the Athletic Complex with hopes of having the facility ready to go by the season opener a week from Thursday. Thanks to Bob Denny and the Belle Plaine Lion’s Club for spearheading this effort to upgrade this facility for the convenience of football, soccer, tennis and track participants and fans If you or your organization is interested in helping to support this project, donations are still being accepted by the Lion’s Club or the Belle Plaine Schools. Thank you to all who have already contributed financially or with their time and effort. This is going to be a great addition to our facility! On Friday of this week, we welcome new teachers to our school district and have an orientation day with them. We have seventeen new teachers coming on board this year – that’s about 15% of our total teaching staff. Every year it is exciting to meet our new staff as they bring great energy and outside ideas into our school system to help us grow as an organization! Next Monday, all Belle Plaine School staff will gather for our back to school workshop activities at Oak Crest Elementary. With nearly 200 employees in the district, it is always great to see everyone gathered at one place reconnecting with colleagues as we prepare ourselves for the beginning of another great school year. I am excited about the staff that we have in place to serve our students, the great students that we are fortunate to work with every day, and for the support of our parents and community as we work to ensure success with our mission to “Expect Excellence from Everyone Everyday!” Let’s have a great school year, everyone!

Two bus loads and then some of Luxemburg fans made the trip to Tiger Park Sunday for the team’s first state tournament experience in its 117-year history. However, the experience lasted just two hours as Jordan eliminated Luxemburg 5-1.

Numerous fans, mostly from Belle Plaine, enjoyed Friday night’s blowout victory over Detroit Lakes from the grassy hill at Jordan’s Mini Met. A sizeable number of spectators were also seated in the grandstand nearer home plate. at

Basketball Camp A Success

by Brett Kruschke and Matt Schultz Last year, Belle Plaine made a valiant run to the state Class C baseball tournament title game when the dream was rudely interrupted by the Sartell Muskies, who capped a 30-2 season with a 10-0 blanking of our locals. The Tigers will have a chance to bury at least part of that memory on Saturday when they face off against Sartell once again, in an 11 a.m. duel at Tiger Park in Belle Plaine. Sartell has one of the state’s elite pitchers in David Deminsky, while Belle Plaine just ensured a .500 season – by improving to 15-14 – with a 10-2 drubbing of Detroit Lakes on Friday in Jordan. But Deminsky, who over the past seven seasons is 31-3 with a 0.92 ERA and 20-0, 0.53 over the past two campaigns – was recently declared out for the season due to injury. Deminsky’s absence would seem to bode well for the Tigers’ chances but then again, the Muskies didn’t use him in last year’s lopsided win. That also said, the Tigers ran out of pitching last Labor Day and didn’t get to employ their ace, Ryan Diers, who will be on the hill this time around. The entire tournament is single-elimination but if the Tigers win, they will play at home again Saturday (Aug. 30) at 11 a.m. against either Loretto or the New Ulm Brewers. If all goes according to plan, the Tigers would play two more games on Sunday (Aug. 31) and one more on Labor Day. The opening weekend of the tournament at Tiger Park was a blast and if you haven’t seen the ballpark yet since the state tourney began, you absolutely owe it to yourself to do so: folks far and wide are saying it has never looked better. Among the lead storylines taking place in Belle Plaine was Winsted pitcher Tony Kley tossing a complete-game 1-hitter with 21 strikeouts – just one short of the nine-inning record – in a 2-0 win over Pelican Rapids. Tigers 10, Detroit Lakes 2 Belle Plaine headed to Jordan looking to start another run like the one that ended with a second-place finish last year. The Detroit Lakes Angels were the opponent, and the Tigers knew nothing of them as this was the first-ever contest between the two clubs.

The Tigers sent ace Ryan Diers to the mound, while Detroit Lakes countered with Bertha draftee Patrick Riewer. Things looked very similar to the St. Peter regional playoff game, as the Tigers got the leadoff man in scoring position in the first and weren’t able to get him in. In the bottom half of the inning, the Angels scored a run to quickly take the lead. It remained that way until the third when Belle Plaine loaded the bases and got a huge twoout, two-RBI hit from Dan Huber to take a lead they would never relinquish. Diers also drove in a pair to keep the inning going while Brad Law-

son’s RBI single plated another for a 5-1 lead. The Tigers scored three more in the fourth inning plus single tallies in the fifth and eighth to keep the manual scoreboard operators at Jordan busy. Diers threw five innings, giving up only two hits. August Farruggia came in and threw two solid innings with four strikeouts, giving up only an unearned run in the seventh. Then it was time for a few of the draftees to get a little work, as Arlington’s Matt Pichelmann threw a scoreless

Belle Plaine’s Dan Huber was greeted by teammates after scoring a run Friday night in Jordan. His double in the third inning helped erase a 1-0 deficit and wake up the Tigers’ bats for the rest of the night.

Over 90 boys and girls entering grades 6-12 participated in the SWISH Camp run by the Belle Plaine Basketball Association. The camp ran four days a week from (7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.) for six weeks. While each player who came to the camp improved their skills, there were some who worked especially diligently that they were named to the All-Camp Team. Included were: Grades 6-8 Josh Gregory, Eli Otto, Noah Dauwalter, Zac Fogarty, Keaton Norby, Ethan Keohavong, Sidney Schafer, Jayle StruckSchmitz, Victoria Larson and Lizzy Hilgers. Grades 9-12 Ryan Bremseth-Vining, Sam Gregory, Taylor Ponath, Patrick Bigaouette, Jonathon Schmidt, Grant Prader, Taylor Mullen, Alexia Lenz, Katelyn Jeurissen Belle Plaine first baseman Matt Schultz gloved this throw that just beat the Detroit Lakes base and Elizabeth Johnson. runner Friday night in Jordan.

Miller was a key member of the Belle Plaine town team that won the Minnesota State Class C Amateur Baseball Tournament in 1994. He was also a standout player at Belle Plaine High School and Normandale Community College before being drafted by the Seattle Mariners in 1988.

(continued from page 1) Plaine, while Sartell’s ace pitcher is out for the remainder of the tournament (see details in article inside). Sartell is 25-5 this season, it’s most recent loss coming against Mora 3-2 on Aug. 3. Mora got slammed by New Market 11-1 in the first round of the state tourney Saturday in Jordan. The winner between Belle Plaine and Sartell will advance to the third round in Belle Plaine the following Saturday to play either the New Ulm Brewers or Loretto, the latter of which edged St. Benedict 1-0 Saturday in Jordan. New Ulm received a first-round bye as the champion of Region 2. This past Sunday in warm and steamy Belle Plaine, it was a battle of brews as the Jordan Brewers defeated the Luxemburg Brewers 5-1. Luxemburg, which brought two coach busses of fans to the game, was making its first state tournament appearance in the 117-year history of the team. Luxemburg, a burb of St. Cloud, had as many if not more fans at the game than the Brewers from seven miles up Highway 169. Most of the Luxemburg fans wore T-shirts that read: 117 YEARS – IT’S OUR TIME...JACK! Unfortunately for Luxemburg, it’s time in the state tournament was a brief two hours. In fact, fans spent far more time on the bus Sunday than they did at the ball park. Jordan will face Bemidji 11 a.m. this Sunday. The soonest the Brewers could play at the Mini Met would be the third round on Saturday, Aug. 30 against either Waconia or Howard Lake. But they have to get past the Blue Ox first. Up next for Green Isle will be Dumont 5 p.m. Friday in Belle Plaine. The winner will move on to the third round against either St. Peter or Ada on Aug. 30 in Belle Plaine. Complete brackets for both the state Class C and B tournaments are published in this edition of the Herald.

ing weekend at both parks was 3,281 – 1,704 at Tiger Park and 1,577 at the Mini Met. Belle Plaine Friday = 217 Saturday = 758 Sunday = 729 Total = 1,704 Jordan Friday = 241 Saturday = 860 Sunday = 476 Total = 1,577 “All in all, it was a great weekend,” said Brent Meyer, who is a tri-chair of the tournament for Belle Plaine. “Both fields looked spectacular and were in top shape from a playing surface perspective. One game got rained out in Jordan and had to be moved to Arlington as Le Sueur was not ready to take on a game. Belle Plaine, after a three-hour rain delay, was able to complete all scheduled games. “In Belle Plaine, we had wonderful help from our volunteers. This (tournament) would not be possible without these volunteers, so we are very thankful that the community has stepped up. We are excited about the next two weekends as we move towards naming a champion on Labor Day,” Meyer continued. “It is also very exciting that the Tigers won their first game and will now be playing Sartell in our home park. It will be a rematch of last year’s championship game and I hope we get some revenge.”

Treats at the Drive-in Carol and Roger Hoen of Cologne enjoyed tasty treats while watching “The Lego Movie” Saturday night (Aug. 16) at the annual Firehouse Drive-in just southwest of Cologne City Hall/ Community Center. The drive-in is an annual fund-raiser for the renovation of the Cologne Fire Department’s first motorized fire truck, a 1924 Brockton-LaFrance. “The Blues Brothers” was also presented Saturday night. Friday night, “Despicable Me 2” and “Ghostbusters” were presented on the big screen. Just under 500 cars were admitted to the two presentations. Organizers hoped to generate another $6,000 -- maybe more -- toward the renovation project in time for the fire department’s 125th anniversary next year.

iPads (continued from page 1) district has also significantly beefed up the wireless Internet network serving Oak Crest and Chatfield elementary schools and Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School. Monday (Aug. 25), the school board will consider a plan to establish a series of performance goals it wants teachers to implement. The plan breaks down the levels of uses of technology and the iPads into gold, silver and bronze levels. As an incentive, the plan includes a proposal to reward teachers who meet the plans gold level with one credit toward lane (level of education) on the district’s salary schedule. Ten college credits are needed to advance. Once they reach the needed number of college credits, they can improve their annual salaries by anywhere from $400 to $700 annually, depending on their length of service with the school district. “We thought it couldn’t hurt and might be a valuable incentive,” Superintendent Kelly Smith said. “My goal is that everybody will make progress.” The district has presented the plan to its approximately 110 teachers, Smith said. Initially, there have been no strenuous

objections from the group.

‘Schoology’

The district wants teachers to use Schoology, a learning management system that will help teachers and students manage classroom work and assignments. It would allow students to submit completed assignments through Schoology and teachers to post classroom assignments online. Teachers could use Schoology to post expectations and students could receive feedback on learning goals. It also wants teachers to manage documents through applications like Google.docs, Notability or Pages. The programs allow teachers and students to assign and submit projects electronically. Teachers could also receive training online. Other requirements include using formative assessment applications where teachers can see in real-time whether students comprehend lectures or class work using applications like Nearpod or Google Forms. The applications allow teachers to analyze students’ individuals strengths or needs so they, when needed, can receive per-

sonalized assistance. They can also allow a teacher to change the presentation of information to best suit students’ learning styles. Teachers are also expected to use creativity applications and social media applications, tools designed to enhance learning through connections with fellow educators and moderating group activities and learning. The plan also allows teachers to develop and implement digital curriculum that meets state standards. Teachers would be encouraged to create online content in conjunction with approved online resources. They will also be rewarded for working in partnership with other teachers to develop online curriculum. Smith said he expects teachers will complete the requirements for bronze and silver levels of technology use and begin working toward the gold. He said teachers who struggle with the technology would be paired with mentor teachers who are comfortable with online teaching and learning for improvement. “I’d be disappointed if people can’t get past bronze,” the superintendent said.
