Bridge Opens, Turn Lanes Close

by Dan Ruud Hello bridge, goodbye leftturn lanes.

Following a ribbon-cutting ceremony last Wednesday afternoon, the Enterprise Drive overpass opened. Now that the ribbon has been cut and motorists are free to use the bridge, it took the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) just six days to close the leftturn lanes from Highway 169 to County Road 3/Meridian Street on Tuesday.

Mn/DOT made removing the left-turn lanes a requirement from the beginning of the

bridge planning phase and has stood by it.

It was also Mn/DOT that said building an overpass and full interchange where County Road 3/Meridian Street directly intersects with Highway 169 would not be permitted because of spacing issues with the overpass that was built nearly a decade ago on the other end of the 169 corridor in Belle Plaine.

That did not sit well with some members of the Belle Plaine City Council when it came to planning the new bridge. Council Members Paul Chard and Gary Trost voted no multiple

three candidates next Tuesday.

Also on the ballot locally next Tuesday is the District 2 U.S. Representative Republican primary, which has four candidates and needs to be narrowed to one next Tuesday. The candidates (in order listed on the ballot) are John Howe, Matthew Erickson, Darlene Miller and Jason Lewis. The winner will face Democrat Angie Craig in the general election.

Another race that will be on the Belle Plaine ballot is that for the District 56A Minnesota House Representative Democratic primary. The two candidates are Jared Christiansen and Dan Kimmel, with the top votegetter moving on to the general election to face Republican and

incumbent Drew Christensen in the general election.

There will be one other race on the Belle Plaine primary ballot, that for the Minnesota Supreme Court Associate Justice 6, which is currently held by Natalie Hudson. Her challengers are Michelle MacDonald and Craig Foss.

All other local and area offices that are up for election this year, including Belle Plaine City Council and Scott County Commissioner District 1, do not require a primary.

Among those on hand at the bridge opening ceremony last Wednesday was Ridgeview Medical Center Vice President John Prondzinski, who said Ridgeview plans to break ground soon on its medical clinic/health care campus and senior living facility that will be situated near the new bridge on the northwest corner of the intersection of Highway 169

Racing on a 50-cc powered dirt bike, Belle Plaine’s 7-year-old Kai Morgan has earned the chance to compete against the nation’s best young motocross racers this month at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn.

He hits a jump at 40 mph, soars into the air and prepares to set the motorcycle down on the dirt track. Surrounded by other riders, Kai Morgan can’t imagine having much more fun doing anything else.

The 7-year-old Belle Plaine motocross racer will be racing at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn. this month.

There will be a full week of motocross racing featuring riders in varying ages and classes Including the guest of honor, five generations of Henrietta Stiles’ family were on hand for competing at the ranch.

He’ll go to Tennessee hoping to bring home top honors in his age group. “We’re hoping he wins, but you never know,” said Jason Morgan, Kai’s father.

Kai is currently second in the District 23’s points standings (as of July 18) for 50 cc multispeed. Competing in two fewer races than the top racer, Morgan is just 42 points behind the points leader. He’s also second in the 50 cc pre-mix division, 43 points behind the division’s leader.

The season runs from April through early-October. During the off-season, Kai practices at an indoor track at Cedar Lake Speedway and Arena in New Richland, Wis. “Going to Cedar Lake, things really clicked for him,” Jason said.

family makes the journey to Millville, Minn., a small town in southeastern Minnesota with a large-scale dirt track. It is one of several dirt tracks around the state.

Kruz, who turned 4 earlier this year, wants to be like his big brother and father. He just started riding competitively. His first race was in late-June at the track in Millville. Kruz raced in the bumblebee class.

“We just took the training wheels off,” Allison said. “He was the youngest one on the track.”

He might race again this summer.

The Millville track has many activities for children and families alike when the motocross racers are not competing. In a sport where many of the com-

Bridge

(continued from page 1) and County Road 3/Meridian Street. Although some planning details have not yet been finalized, Prondzinski is optimistic that construction will begin this year.

Overpass Financing Last September, S.M. Hentges and Sons of Jordan was awarded the overpass project at the low bid of $3,179,966.84, which was over $1.2 million below the city engineer’s construction estimate of $4,387,703.

According to Mayor Mike Pingalore in a Belle Plaine Herald Facebook post he made last Wednesday night in response to some critics of the project in terms of local taxation, Pingalore said Belle Plaine residents will see no increase in their taxes from the bridge project.

“The funding came from the state, the county and our state aid from state-funded roads inside Belle Plaine,” Pingalore stated. “The nine-year bond from the difference of the county and state funds is set up to be paid by the dollars we get from the state road maintenance program. Our state roads inside Belle Plaine are in great shape – we receive $275,000 yearly for project/maintenance and the bond is $230,000. We capture the rest of the difference into a fund for continued maintenance and upkeep. These dollars are only allowed to be spent on roads.”

“This project is not just for convenience but for growth and opportunities inside Belle Plaine,” Pingalore continued.

“It will actually lower your taxes and water/sewer rates in the very near future. Commercial/industrial growth like Ridgeview and other opportunities in the works will do exactly that – help you, not hinder.”

Critics and Supporters Comments on the new bridge have varied on social media, some referring to it as “the bridge to nowhere” to “I love the bridge and saved 12 minutes in my morning drop off routine not having to drive all over town when I can now just go across. Safely.”

Another stated: “So rather than turning left off southbound 169, I can turn right and then take the bridge across. Correct? While a little inconvenient, I’m not seeing this as a major issue,” stated one of numerous posts on the Herald’s Facebook page.

Other posts weren’t as favorable.

“The issue I see is the increase traffic turning right onto Meridian then taking an immediate left to go to the bridge. During high traffic times, and when the buses leave the barn, there’s going to be traffic backed up to the highway.”

More Work to be Done Belle Plaine City Engineer Joe Duncan reported to the city council Monday night that minor items are still needed to be done to the bridge, including lighting, and that temporary closures of the bridge could occur.

“Xcel Energy has experienced a delay in procurement of the lights and currently expects them in late August . . . The contractual completion date for the project is Oct. 14,” Duncan stated.

‘Presley’s Backpack Program’ Gearing Up for Second Year

They never expected the success Presley Volek’s backpack program enjoyed last year. But this year, with the benefit of advance planning, organizers hope the initiative will help far more people.

In its first year, Presley’s Backpack Program generated just over 200 backpacks, $300 in cash, and “more school supplies than we could count,” said Caycie Volek, Presley’s mom.

The program started a year ago when Presley realized she was getting a new backpack for school but there were other children whose families couldn’t provide their children with new school supplies each year. She pushed her mom to help collect items for those families.

In 2016, Volek, on behalf of her 6-year-old daughter, opened an account at State Bank of Belle Plaine and created a Facebook page – Presley’s Backpack Program -- to help generate more donations and provide a communications link to people in need. The account at State Bank of Belle Plaine will allow for more secure and efficient handling of donated money, Volek said. People interested in donating money to the program can do so directly at the bank.

The Facebook page will include drop-off sites and updates on donations. Donated backpacks and school supplies can be dropped off at Andy’s Bar & Grill, Sparetime Bar & Grill, Neisen’s Corner Bar, Johan’s Sports Bar and Red Door. Drop boxes are located at Hennen’s Furniture, Elsie’s, State Bank of Belle Plaine, CornerStone State Bank, The hair Loft, Annie’s Cafe, River Valley Family Chiropractic, Belle Plaine Dental, Matt Saxe Chevrolet-Buick, Chestnut Reality and Borough Bowl by Sept. 1.

There are also drop-off sites at the Pearl Salon, Functional Chiropractic and River Rock Dental in Shakopee.

After Sept. 1

The donated backpacks and school supplies will be sorted, the backpacks filled and delivered to schools for distribution to children in need.

They also have a tax-identification number. Volek is working on non-profit status, she said. “You have to be the only one like it in Minnesota. I have to describe what we do very carefully,” she said.

Last year’s inaugural backpack program was organized in

With the help of her mom, Caycie Volek, 6-year-old Presley Volek is once again working to help collect backpacks and school supplies for the coming school year and money for winter clothing to help out needy families. short order. With plenty of time to prepare this year, Volek is hoping to raise 300 backpacks and $500 in cash.

“We have a lot more people on board this year,” Volek said.

“The more people we have on board, the better.”

Presley’s Backpack Program accepts donated new backpacks, school supplies or cash.

The money was specifically to pay for winter gear for children who didn’t have coats, hats, boots or mittens for wintertime, Volek said.

“We thought 20 backpacks would be huge,” she said. “To

have 200 fully-stuffed backpacks was mind-blowing to us.”

After just over 50 of the new backpacks filled with school supplies were donated to children in Hudson, Wis., New Ulm, New Prague and Shakopee, the remaining 150 backpacks were delivered through Belle Plaine Schools to people in need. The money outfitted seven children with warm winter weather clothing.

The program has garnered plenty of attention in the area.

U.S. Rep John Kline honored Volek for the program.

Workers and heavy machinery began removing the pavement of the left-turn lanes on Highway 169 Tuesday morning. They turns will be closed permanently.

State Minimum Wage Increases More than 287,000 of Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest-wage workers got a raise, effective this past Monday, when the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large employer minimum-wage rose to $9.50 an hour.

In April 2014, Gov. Mark Dayton signed a bill into law raising Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum wage for the ďŹ rst time in a decade. This is the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nal of three annual minimum-wage increases under the 2014 law.

The legislation also indexes the minimum wage to inďŹ&#x201A;ation beginning January of 2018, to ensure Minnesotansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; incomes keep up with the cost of living. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2014, I worked with the Legislature to raise the minimum wage in Minnesota. This year, that law takes full effect, improving the lives of more than 287,000 Minnesotans and their families,â&#x20AC;? said Dayton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Minnesotans who work full time should earn enough to lift their families out of poverty and lead full lives.â&#x20AC;?

Before the legislation took effect, Minnesota had one of the

lowest minimum wages in the nation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lower than neighboring Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota. In fact, Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum wage, at $6.15 per hour, was one of only four states in the country with a minimum wage below the national rate of $7.25 per hour.

Raising the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum wage is expected to help lift many Minnesotans out of poverty. Under the previous minimum wage of $6.15 per hour, a single parent with two children working full-time earned an annual salary of just $12,792.

That is $7,000 below the poverty line. Raising the minimum wage to $9.50 per hour will put another $6,970 in that parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pocket, helping them earn more to provide for their family.

Many economists agree that when minimum wage workers get a raise, they often spend those new wages on basic necessities, goods and services.

That increase in consumer spending is expected to help local businesses in communities across the state.

Klobuchar, Franken Announce $17.7 Million for Transportation Infrastructure in Scott County U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken have announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has awarded a $17,700,000 Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Grant for Scott Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. 169 Freight Mobility project.

Highway 169 is critical to Minnesota and the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation and commerce.

The current conďŹ guration of Highway 169 and Highway 41 causes a disproportionate number of crashes and signiďŹ cant congestion. This grant will support the construction of a new interchange that will enhance safety and efďŹ ciency for residents and businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our 21st Century economy demands 21st Century infrastructure. Investments in transportation infrastructure are essential to ensuring that Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roadways are meeting the real needs of our communities and businesses,â&#x20AC;? Klobuchar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is why I worked to help secure a TIGER grant for the U.S. 169 Freight Mobility project, which will ease congestion, strengthen road safety, and keep driving our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy in the right direction in Scott County and along the entire U.S. Highway 169 corridor.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is great news for the businesses, commuters and residents that use Highway 169 everyday,â&#x20AC;? Franken said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project, which I have been pressing to get funded, will modernize an important highway for Minnesota and relieve congestion for both people who need to get home to spend time with their families and businesses that need to get their goods to market.â&#x20AC;?

Klobuchar has long been a leader in efforts to improve transportation safety and infrastructure. In April, she wrote a letter to DOT in support of

the TIGER Grant for the U.S. 169 Freight Mobility Project and spoke to Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx to advocate for the project. In 2009, Klobuchar worked with the Minnesota Department of Transportation and local leaders to secure a waiver from the Federal Highway Administration for a cost-saving interchange design at U.S. Highway 169 and Interstate Highway 494 that has improved safety and reduced congestion.

Last year, Klobuchar was one of the ďŹ rst senators to support the Fixing Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, which authorized the TIGER Grant program. Several of Klobucharâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key safety provisions were also successfully included in the legislation to help combat distracted driving, improve rail safety at blocked highway-rail crossings, and promote teen driver safety. The bill also includes a bipartisan provision to protect driver privacy that she introduced with Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND).

Franken is a strong supporter of investing in modern infrastructure, which he says is one of the most critical components to economic growth. Currently, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holding a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rural Infrastructure Listening Tourâ&#x20AC;? across Minnesota so that he can hear from all communities about their infrastructure needs, including roads, bridges, Broadband Internet, water systems and other services.

After hearing concerns from local businesses and community members, Franken directly fought for the U.S. 169 Freight Mobility Project by pressing the Department of Transportation for funding. He was also a strong advocate for a ďŹ ve-year, bipartisan transportation bill (which is now law) that will provide vital funding for transportation projects throughout Minnesota and the entire country.

Highlighting each day would be the 2 p.m. parade of gigantic steam engines, antique cars, trucks and tractors, and antique farm and construction equipment.

Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s town baseball team lost to Carver 5-4 in 11 innings that Wednesday, ending the Tiger season.

Jeff Fogarty pitched a ďŹ ne game for the Tigers, throwing all 11 innings and giving up just one earned run. Belle Plaine ďŹ nished the season with a record of 12-13.

A public room was called to consider the question of widening pavement to curb on our two business streets. The state was putting in an 18-foot strip, and many local property owners favored paying for the increased width.

A squad of husky, healthy young men panhandled the town on the plea they wanted money to buy something to eat.

One young beggar, who had previously been taken care of, made the mistake of approaching the same donor later, pleading he had nothing to eat.

Dear Editor, The events of this very unusual political year should well lead members of the local media and its consumers to ask some very pointed questions of their local government ofďŹ cials and candidates.

As Donald Trump shows no sign of letting up in his dangerously divisive strategy of using racist and misogynist invective to garner attention to himself, we are forced to ask our local leaders whether they approve of him and the language that he uses.

As a regular contributor to your newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion section, perhaps Representative Bob Vogel would be kind enough to share his thoughts regarding his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 standard bearer in his next submission. Does he agree with Trump, and if so, why? If he disagrees, let him say so publicly and with some level of speciďŹ city regarding those areas of disagreement.

Given the extreme rhetoric of the 2016 Republican presidential nominee, I think local voters have the right to know where local Republican leaders stand in their support of Mr. Trump. The press has a special responsibility to help our citizenry to be fully informed. This is an important question, and

your readers deserve to have it answered.

Sincerely, Todd Redmann Le Sueur

Dear Editor, In the past ďŹ ve years, the Belle Plaine Food Shelf has been fortunate to receive many donations of food.

During the month of August, we try a different type of campaign. August 26 is "National Toilet Paper Day." In honor of this day, we are having our annual drive to see how much paper we can collect for the Food Shelf. Toilet Paper, Paper towels, and Kleenex are expensive for us to buy, and we rarely see it donated. Consequently, we are asking people, during the month of August, when you buy paper for yourself, if you are able, please pick up a little extra for the food shelf. Drop it off at the FoodShelf between 5-7 p.m. on Wednesdays or be

tween 9-12 on Saturday mornings. You can also leave it at your church and we will pick it up there.

We appreciate everyone's help with this. Let's make it a huge success!

Letters to the Editor

Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated population passed the 3,000 mark.

According to new estimates by the Metropolitan Council, Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population was 3,091.

Also, Scott Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population rose to 51,847 and Carver County to 41,896. It was also noted that the seven-county Twin Cities area was the 16th largest metropolitan area in the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Criticalâ&#x20AC;? was how Scott County ASCS Director Tim Sonnek described the storage situation for that fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected abundant harvest. With a large portion of the previous yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crops still in storage in area bins and elevators, farmers were being forced to make hasty decisions regarding where they would store grain, or possibly sell it on the open market at the lowest prices in years.

B.P. Lions Hosting ‘Beep Ball’ Games, Rib & Craft Beer Fest The Belle Plaine Lions Club is hosting an inaugural “beep ball” event and rib & craft beer fest Sunday, Aug. 7, at Tiger Park.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It features “beep ball” games plus the talent of the area’s top craft brewers and rib cookers. “Beep ball” is a form of baseball for visually impaired or blindfolded players. They focus on sound, hitting a beeping ball and running toward bases that give off sound.

According to the National Beep Ball Association, a contest lasts for six innings unless more are needed to break a tie.

A team has three outs per inning.

However, there are some differences from regular baseball.

There is no second base. First and third bases, four foot padded cylinders with speakers, are placed 100 feet down their respective lines and 10 feet off the foul line. This is to prevent a runner from colliding with a

defensive fielder.

The bases contain sounding units that give off a buzzing sound when activated. The batter does not know which one will be turned on. When the ball is hit, the base operator activates one of the bases. The runner must identify the correct buzzing base and run to it before a defensive player fields the ball. If the runner is safe, a run is scored.

Teams can sign up for the competition for $75. The Minnesota Millers Beep Ball team will be participating in the event.

Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., local cookers and brewers will compete in the rib and craft beer festival.

For more information or to enter a beep ball team, the craft beer fest or the rib cook-off, call Bob Denny at (612) 759-9776.

Proceeds from the event benefits juvenile diabetes research, leader dogs and the Minnesota Eye Bank.

Father Andrew Stueve celebrates Masses at St. Anne’s in Le Sueur on Saturdays at 5:15 p.m., Sundays at 8 and 10:30 a.m.

We had a good crowd at Mass this Sunday, July 31 with Father James Burns officiating, assisted by Marvin Halloran as altar server for mass, and the joyous occasion of Baptisms of two beautiful baby girls before mass. Catherine Rose O’Connell, daughter of Dave and Tina, granddaughter of Dick and Carol O’Connell and Elizabeth Frances O’Connell, daughter of Tim and Annie, granddaughter of Kenny and Debbie O’Connell. Elizabeth was wrapped in a dainty white afghan made by her great,great-grandma Blaschko and wore the baptismal gown both her grandpa Kenny and her dad wore at their baptisms.

Hard to believe they were ever that tiny. T.C. read the Liturgy, Jim Oak along with Grandma Debbie were eucharistic min-

isters. The grandpas presented the gifts at mass with Andy and James Oak. Catherine and Elizabeth’s grandpas Dick and Kenny are double cousins.

The families of James and Mary Jean Halloran and Bill and Doris Halloran Solie vacationed at Pleasent Pines Resort, Hakensack this past week. They reserve the whole resort for a week and have been doing so every year since 1981.

Since then these familes have increased by 16 grandkids and multiple in-laws. They travel here from Minnesota, Mexico, England and Washington DC. Great bonding, sharing memories, enjoying their time together.

St. Thomas is impatiently waiting for good news about Jerry. Received word from Chuck: As of Thursday, “Dad is ever so slowly improving each day. He is still in ICU at North Memorial, not up for visitors yet. He’s alert and talking a little.” Please, keep the Retka family and our other St. Thomas families who are suffering, and struggling silently, in private, in your thoughts and prayers.

Minnesota Lawmakers Call on USDA to Protect Dairy Farmers U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, along with Rep. Collin Peterson, have called on the U.S. Department of Agriculture to protect U.S. dairy farmers from the dairy industry financial crisis.

Farm milk prices have dropped 40 percent since 2014, and in May, the nation’s cheese stocks were recorded at their highest level since the data was first re-

Mike and Mary Ann Bigaouette of Belle Plaine are proud to announce the engagement of their daughter Vanessa Bigaouette to Jordan Lemmerman, son of Tom and Kristin Lemmerman of Delano, MN. Vanessa is a 2010 graduate from Winona State University with a degree in Special Education and is currently working for the Waconia School District.

Jordan is a graduate from Central Lakes College for Heavy Equipment Operations and Maintenance and is presently working for Chard Tiling and Excavating.

The couple will marry Aug. 13th at Nature's Nest Farm in Montrose with a reception at Cologne Community Center.

They reside in Watertown.

Engagement

Lorn and Sandy Herrmann and Tom and Therese Kaletka of Belle Plaine, are excited to announce the upcoming marriage of their children Tara Herrmann and Brian Kaletka.

Tara and Brian are both 2008 graduates of Belle Plaine. Tara graduated from Winona State University in 2012 with a degree in nursing. She is currently a Registered Nurse at Mayo Clinic and will be pursing a masters degree starting this fall at Minneapolis School of Anesthesia.

corded in 1917. Low farm milk prices have resulted in sharply reduced incomes, which is placing our nation’s dairy industry in a vulnerable position.

In a letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Klobuchar, Franken and Peterson urged the agency to use its secretarial authority to protect the nation’s dairy farmers from further crisis to aid in the expansion and maintenance of domestic markets.

“We are deeply concerned that U.S. dairy farmers, who are a key part of our agriculture com-

munity and agriculture economy, are in greater need of stability and support as they face these significantly lower prices, which for some are below their actual cost of production,” the lawmakers wrote. “As this industry is reeling from low prices, a glut of imports, challenges in our export markets and poor economic growth projections, we urge the USDA to use its secretarial authority under the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act and look to past precedent for how to take action to protect all of our nation’s

dairy farmers from further crisis, and to aid in the expansion and maintenance of domestic markets. We encourage USDA to take any and all actions available in order to make an immediate market injection and offer financial assistance that will directly support U.S. dairy farmers equally, while being cautious to not stimulate overproduction further.”

In addition to Klobuchar, Franken and Peterson, the letter was also signed by a number of other senators from across the nation.

After a year working to improve scores on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs), Belle Plaine public schools saw the beginning of what district leaders hope is a steady stream of improvement in the years to come.

The results from math, reading and science tests given last spring show Belle Plaine’s scores are both above the state average for proficiency and improved from 2015’s results.

“I am not overly surprised with the results. With the changes that have taken place this past year and what we have worked together with administration on regarding prescriptive programs, we look for improved student learning over time,” said Director Dan Gardner, chairman of the Belle Plaine School Board. “The new initiatives that are being piloted or implemented, blended learning, balanced literacy, coding, should mean more progress.”

In the 2016 MCA math exams, Belle Plaine saw 62.8 percent of the students who took the MCA math exams earn proficiency.

Statewide, 59½ of the students were proficient in math. In the reading exam, 61.4 percent of Belle Plaine’s students tested were proficient. Statewide, 59.9 percent of students who took the reading tests were proficient. In the 2016 science MCA, 58.9 percent of Belle Plaine students tested earned proficiency. Statewide, 55 percent of the students tested were proficient.

Belle Plaine’s scores are just ahead of 2015’s scores in math (62.2), reading (59.4) and science (53.9). Those results were at or just above the 2015 state averages.

The 2016 MCA math exam was given to third- through eighth-graders and high school juniors. The reading exam was given to third- through eighthgraders and sophomores. Fifthand eighth-graders and high school students took the MCA science exam.

At Oak Crest, which houses third through sixth-graders, 70.1 percent of the students achieved proficiency on the math exam. Sixty two percent of Oak Crest students that took the MCA reading exam earned proficiency while 71.4 percent of the Oak Crest students were proficient in the science test.

The math and science results were all above state average for those grade levels. The reading results were 5.7 percent below the state average.

Margot Hansen, the district’s director of curriculum and assessment, said Oak Crest students and staff have been working diligently at implementing a “balanced literacy approach” in reading and some math classes.

This balanced approach offers students small group, whole group, and independent opportunities for improvement. The implementation of technology has helped in moving this forward, she said. Students now have access to Web-based and application-based resources specific to their needs.

At the junior high school level (seventh- and eighth-graders), 59.6 percent of the students that took the 2016 math exam were proficient. In the reading exam, 59.6 percent of Belle Plaine Junior High School students earned proficiency. The MCA science exam saw 44.2 percent of Belle Plaine’s junior highschoolers achieve proficiency.

The math and reading results were at the state average for junior high school students.

At the senior high school, 37.7 percent of the 11th-graders that took the 2016 math exam earned proficiency, a result almost 10 percent below the state average.

Sixty percent of the senior high school students who took the science exam last spring earned proficiency, over

4 percent above the state average.

“We know our high school math scores have been below the state average,” Hansen said.

“This summer math teachers in seventh through 12th grades spent time analyzing the skills taught within each course. The goal was to ensure that all standards are being taught, the rigor of the skills and instruction is high, and that students will be more successful moving forward.”

Hansen said there will be some changes in the course offerings provided for students during the 2016-17 school in hopes of being able to better meet the needs of students.

“In specific grade levels, we are performing very well. Our students were assessed in 17 grade level areas and we outperformed the state average in 13,” Gardner said. “A couple of areas we under-performed significantly and that pulled our overall score down. With the changes we are making in programming, we should see gains in the coming years. The time, energy, and commitment from teachers, parents and students will certainly lend itself to improved test scores.”

Around Average

Belle Plaine’s MCA scores are once again right around the state average. Overall, they are generally within a few points of the state average on the math, reading and science exams dat-

ing back to 2012. The exception to that are the years when new standards were introduced.

In 2014, Belle Plaine was almost 1 percent above the state average in the MCA math tests while finishing 2.7 percent below the state average on the MCA science exams. Belle Plaine was 1½ points above the state average on the 2014 science exam.

Gardner said the school district is not willing to accept average results.

“I don’t believe anyone board members, administration, teachers or parents -- are satisfied with average. The changes upcoming for this school year were all made to make our programs perform at a higher level,” he said.

Comparing itself to its brethren in the Minnesota River Conference and other area schools, generally Belle Plaine finished ahead of Sibley East, Central (Norwood Young America), Tri-City United and Le SueurHenderson school districts but behind Jordan, New Prague, Cologne Academy – schools Belle Plaine has lost students to via open enrollment.

“Schools are made up of individual students with various life experiences. As has been pointed out by most educational experts, comparing schools is a very tricky proposition,” Gardner said. “Looking at student growth in our own school is a much better measurement of progress.”

Hansen said the district is seeing improvement for efforts made during the past year. “Our third and fifth grade math scores are great, not only are they well above state, but they are the highest they have been in the last five years,” she said. “Our third, seventh and 10th grade reading scores are also up.

Seeing the payoff in programming or instructional changes can take time, but we’re proud of the work the teachers have done in moving forward with balanced literacy and blended learning specifically.”

Cologne Looking for Softer Option on Water Plant Loan Repayment Rather than potentially sock users with huge rate increases to fund repayment of a loan for a water treatment facility, the Cologne City Council is looking to soften plans to fund the plant and new groundwater well.

Cologne is looking at a loan from the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA). The loan would cover the new water treatment plant and groundwater well. The bid on the plant is about $5.93 million from DiMar Construction of Hopkins.

The low bid from the well is approximately $263,000 – a number that could change based on the council’s rejecting the apparent low bid Monday (Aug. 1).

The Cologne City Council

discussed implementation of an increase in a user fee for all water customers – possibly an additional $5 per month. The additional user fee would be atop the existing user fee of approximately $5 a month.

The council’s hope is that the additional user fee would beef up the balance of the water fund and allow the city to establish smaller rate increases to cover repayment of the PFA loan.

Last month, a rate study from Springsted suggested annual 24 percent rate hikes followed by smaller increases. PFA is pushing for rate hikes to be assured Cologne can repay the 30-year loan.

But council members are in no hurry to OK large rate increases. They seemingly favor the

increased user fee with smaller rate increases.

Councilor Jeff McInnis suggested larger rate increases could reduce usage, leaving the city in a pinch to serve debt on the plant and well. The increased user fee, he said, would do less to reduce consumption.

“I do kind of like the idea of the split,” McInnis said. “If you use water, you use water.”

Mayor Scott Williams said the city reduced its user fee about eight years ago expecting residential growth would keep the city’s water fund healthy. When the growth didn’t come, thanks to a downtown in the economy, the city didn’t build up the nest egg it expected.

The council will review and potentially OK some blend of user fee increase and schedule of anticipated rate increases at its Aug. 15 meeting. The council is also expected to award the bid for constructing the plant, thanks to Di-Mar’s apparent The Noteables will again be from Le Sueur, Henderson, Le willingness to extend its bid besharing their world of song in Center, Belle Plaine, Jordan, yond the 60-day window. their upcoming concert, “It’s a Edina and St. Peter.

In Loving Memory of Jeffrey A. McGuire, who passed away August 3, 2014 What would we give if we coud say, “Hello Jeff” in the same old way, To hear his voice, to see his smile, To sit and chat with him for awhile.

You are not forgotten, dear.

Nor ever shall you be.

As long as life and memory lasts, We shall remember thee.

No one knows how many times We have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt.

You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

Centenarian (continued from page 1) She was about 3½ when her mother, Mildred, passed away from pneumonia. She moved to Belle Plaine with her mother’s family. Henrietta’s grandmother, Matilda Hillstrom, lived in the house.

The house was built in the early-1870s.

A longtime member of the Belle Plaine Historical Society, Henrietta is a walking guide to the historical property owned by the City of Belle Plaine. Her memories of growing up in the house are fond ones. The area was wide open, like a miniature farm. Grandma had a cow, a small horse and some chickens.

There was plenty of space to play, though most of the other children in the area were boys.

“We played baseball instead of with dolls,” she said. “It was a good place to grow up.”

After she married, Henrietta

raised three children – James, Vivian and Phyllis -- in the house.

She’s pleased the house has been maintained, though notes the parlor has been restored in a fancier condition than when she was a child or raising her own children there. Henrietta is pleased to see her grandmother’s piano is still in the house.

She’s also thrilled to see her childhood home is still open for people to enjoy.

Henrietta didn’t expect to live to see her 100th birthday. She outlived even the most elderly members of her family. Her father, Oliver Hillstrom, passed away when he was 88.

Though she grows a little tired in the afternoon, the party was very worthwhile. “I enjoyed seeing the people,” Henrietta said. “Many of them I haven’t seen in a long time.”

Belle Plaine Wins Play-In Game Will Take on Top Seed Jordan Friday

Scott County Fair Strongman Competition The 2016 Scott County Fair Strongman competition took place Saturday.

The categories included the Truck Pull, Farmers Carry/Tire Flip, Keg Lift/ Axel Lift, Sled Push and Pull, and Atlas Stones.

Pictured above is Jacob Nowak of Belle Plaine in the Truck Pull, which was the opening event.

He placed second overall among four heavyweight competitors, a division that was dominated by Ryan Imbach of Madison, Wis., who is pictured at lower right lifting the final of a series of kegs over his head, the only one in the competition to accomplish the feat. Imbach has also competed at the national level. Pictured at top right is Keisha Murphy of Minneapolis, who won overall first place in the women’s division. She polished off the day and the women’s title by lifting all five Atlas Stones from the ground onto the platform. Pictured below are the three divisional overall winners – Murphy (women’s), Imbach (heavyweight) and Ben Hanson of Eagan (lightweight).

by Brett Kruschke, Mike Schultz and Matt Schultz The Belle Plaine town baseball team rose to the occasion in a must-win game Sunday, 10running New Ulm Kaiserhoff to qualify for the Region 6C tournament. Belle Plaine’s first assignment as the No. 8 seed is to travel to the No. 1-seed Jordan Brewers on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Win or lose, the Tigers’ next game will be Sunday night on the road at 6 p.m. against Arlington or Le Sueur; with a win Friday the locals would be vying for their ninth state tournament appearance in 10 years.

With a loss, three straight wins would be required to qualify for the state tourney as the Region’s No. 3 seed.

You can find an updated tournament bracket at rivervalleyleague.com or bptigertown. com; updates will also be provided via the respective Twitter channels of twitter.com/rvlbaseball and /bptigertown.

Earlier last week, Belle Plaine blanked Gaylord 1-0 and got skunked at Miesville 10-0.

The Tigers finished with a final league record of 5-11 this season, while their overall record is 9-20.

The Tigers are the lowest-seeded team in Region 6C and since the high seed hosts all games, the final game at Tiger Park has most likely been played (the only exception would be a chance match up with Henderson, where they might want to play at Belle Plaine due to no lights at their ballpark). Thanks for your continued support this season and we’ll see you on the road!

Tigers 1, Gaylord 0 Gaylord travelled to the friendly confines of Tiger Park for a league game that at this

late point of the season, lacked playoff implications for seeding purposes. Nonetheless, it was a well-played, tight game throughout.

On the hill for Gaylord was former – and always – Tiger via the draft, Trevor Vaubel, who saved the Tigers’ bacon in last year’s 3-2 state tournament victory over Hadley. As good as Vaubel was, the Tiger trio of Josh Terrio, Mitchel Stier and Jonny Vinkemeier combined for a shutout.

Belle Plaine plated the game’s only run when Aiden Ladd led off the 10th inning with a single, was bunted to second and then scored on a broken-bat single by Vinkemeier that was assisted by a Gaylord throwing error. As always, the Tigers received managing that was second only to one.

Miesville 10, Tigers 0 The Tigers chugged on down to Miesville on Friday for a rare 8 p.m. start against the Mudhens, merely the second-ranked team in Class B and winners of 19 of their past 20 contests.

Miesville’s first batter crushed a home run and the Hens never looked back. Joe Pomije started on the mound and survived four innings. Chase Emmers relieved and wasn’t his usual sharp self, allowing the final six runs in what turned into a shellacking.

The Tigers mustered just three hits on the day, with one of those being of the dubious variety off the bat of Matt Schultz.

But all in all it was a beautiful night at a great park.

Tigers 11, Kaiserhoff 1 The Kaiserhoff of New Ulm came to Tigertown for the Region 6C play-in game. While modern sensibilities forbid the declaration of anything negative, these teams arrived at this contest by being the least-best River Valley League participants this season.

Belle Plaine started Stier, a June high-school graduate, on the mound. After giving up one

tally in the first frame on a couple of bloop hits, the tall righty finished six frames without giving up another run.

Terrio came on and threw a scoreless seventh, which ended up being all that was needed thanks to a second-consecutive three-spot that ended matters early via the 10-run rule. The Tigers defeated yet another 2015 draftee in the form of big lug Nick Dewanz, who started and bore the brunt of the Tiger attack.

Travis Latzke had a solid game offensively with the big blow – a bases-loaded, basesclearing triple* in the bottom of the fourth. (*The editor thinks triple; everyone else thinks error.) Pat Schultz added a tworun double and Vinkemeier collected two hits and two RBI. 2016 Town Tigers Schedule May 6 vs. St. Benedict W 9-6 May 8 at Shakopee L 10-0 May 13 at Arlington L 3-0 May 15 at Henderson L 10-6 May 17 vs. Mudcats L 11-1 May 20 vs. St. Peter W 8-2 May 22 at Chanhassen L 13-6 May 25 vs. Mn.

2016 Scott County Fair Enjoys a Successful Five-Day Run Scott County Fair-goers had everything they could have wanted from what the fair board bills as the “five best days of summer.” The county fair wrapped up Sunday with the expectation that attendance this year was better than a year ago and most everyone went home pleased.

Mother Nature did her part to keep fair guests happy during the five-day run (July 27-31).

The fair was spared the blazing heat and high humidity it has endured in previous years.

County Fair General Manager Norm Pint is confident the vehicle counts from the week will exceed the 25,500 vehicles that parked in the fair’s lot a year ago.

Official estimates of attendance and other statistics indicating the success of the Scott County Fair weren’t available Tuesday (Aug. 2) when the

Herald went to press.

“We spent yesterday working on getting tents and the rented equipment returned so we wouldn’t have another day’s expense,” Pint said. “I haven’t had a chance to look at the numbers.”

He said the grandstand shows were well attended, especially Saturday night’s demolition derby. Staff had to decline entrance to would-be spectators because of the overflow crowd.

Even Sunday (July 31), a day when attendance is typically a bit lighter, saw larger-than-expected crowds, Pint reported.

Pint said the family areas and children’s day entertainment was also popular with fair-goers. A new stage designated for entertainment geared toward children and families was also popular, Pint said.

The Miracle of Birth Center was again a popular draw,

Pint said. The births of cows, including twins, were reported during the five days. Pigs were also born at the fair. “We had some mortality, but that’s reality. That’s what farmers have to deal with,” he said.

Pint said the live music in the beer garden drew solid crowds, too. He observed plenty of firsttime attendees, based on requests for maps and questions fair board members received.

Among the minor adjustments will be refinements in a collection program, for recyclables.

The fair tried to encourage people to separate plastics, cans and other recyclable materials. The recycling initiative came together the week before the fair. With more advance preparation, he expects it will produce even more recyclable material next year.

“We had a huge roll-off dumpster filled,” Pint said.

With driver Travis Shaw on the reins, the eight-horse hitch team of Ames Percherons left the Scott County Fairgrounds’ south arena with the championship trophy aboard Sunday afternoon. The team of dapple gray Percherons topped a field of 13 entries in the final judging before a large crowd around the south arena. The Ames entry won the eight-horse hitch competition in 2015 and finished second in 2014.

Her 57th Fair

Belle Plaine’s Symphany Brown showed off the two prized boar goats she won ribbons with at the 4-H Goat Show last Wyatt Tessin of Belle Plaine was among those competing in week at the Scott County Fair. “Rocco” (left) won the grand the 6-year-old division at Saturday’s Scott County Fair Kid’s Barb Kiewel of Belle Plaine won a blue ribbon for her flower championship while “Mae” was the reserve champion.

Pedal Pull. arrangement in an unusual container at her 57th Scott County Fair this past week. Long known as the chicken lady for her work with 4-H and open class poultry at the Scott County Fair, she has slowed down and only brings an arrangement or two to the fair these days. She admits she had help from her son, Larry, who did the lifting and driving parts, and Ted Kornder, who helped by growing the Zinnias.

Karen Bartusek of New Prague and Debi Henry of Hampton took a quiet stroll through the Creative Arts Building Sunday afternoon. They enjoyed the award-winning talents of many local artists.

Justin Stauffacher was one of many Belle Plaine and area residents who participated in the 4-H dairy and beef shows at the Scott County Fair.

Saturday night’s demolition derby was the most popular of the county fair’s grandstand shows. An overflow crowd filled the stands as contestants turned their cars into wrecks.

Contestants worked together in teams to corral calves during the ranch rodeo show Friday afternoon.
