Daytime highs are not expected to reach double digits Thursday through Saturday. In fact, some days may struggle to get above zero, even to begin March. According to the National Weather Service, the Twin Cities has entered into its 10th coldest winter on record and the coldest since 1979. As for snow amounts, the official Twin Cities reading so far is 57.0 inches, which is almost 17 inches above average to date.

Scott West Qualifies Seven for State Individual Wrestling Tourney

by Dan Ruud Seven members of the Scott West wrestling team qualified for this week’s Minnesota State Class 2A Individual Tournament at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. That’s up two from last year and down two from the total in 2012. There were 10 Scott West qualifiers in 2011, eight in 2010 and seven in 2009.

Four of this year’s Panthers state-qualifiers got there by winning the championship of their respective weight classes at the Section 2AA Individual Tournament held Friday and Saturday at Mankato West High School. The other three advanced to state by finishing

second.

Winning section championships for Scott West in their weight divisions were sophomore Ben Kelvington (113), junior David Flynn (126), senior Zach Siegle (138) and junior Andrew Fogarty (160). Flynn, Siegle and Fogarty are returning state place-winners and are a combined 124-4 this season.

Each are among this year’s favorites to win a state title in their respective weights.

Finishing second Saturday and also representing the Panthers at state individually are eighth-grader Jackson Stauffacher (106), senior Derek Dahlke (170) and senior Ray

Carter (182).

The first two rounds of the Class 2A individual tournament will take place Friday, followed by the semifinals and championships on Saturday. Wrestleback and consolation matches will be mixed in both days. Day one of the tournament (Thursday) will be devoted to the team tournaments, after which all three champions (Class 1A, 2A and 3A) will be crowned (see accompanying Class 2A schedules).

After Strong First Showing, Cyber Tigers Headed Back to Regional

Hoping to build on the success and experience they enjoyed a year ago in their first season, the Belle Plaine Robotics Team is headed back to regional competition next week.

The team – the Cyber Tigers – and their robot will be at the Lake Superior Regional Competition March 6-8 at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center in the South Pioneer Hall. They are among 57 teams from Minnesota and the upper Midwest registered for the competition.

The team will travel to Duluth for the regional competition rather than compete during spring break at Mariucci Arena because its advisor, Jeff Heine, the school district’s director

Minnesota River Blamed for Filling Lake Pepin With Sediment

Home Builders The Scott/Le Sueur Chapter of the Minnesota Waterfowl Association held its annual duck house building event Sunday (Feb. 23) at the Knights of Columbus Hall in New Prague. (Left) Belle Plaine’s David Einertson helped Logan Bohlsen and Conner Anderson of Jordan build wood duck houses. (Above) Emma Reed worked with Le Sueur County Sheriff Dave Tietz on a house. Volunteers helped young house builders build 350 wood duck houses with another 150 houses put together afterward. Over the years, the association and its volunteers have built and donated several thousand wood duck houses to be properly mounted near a wetland or other nesting area.

courage best management practices upstream of Lake Pepin.

“We will be showing the effects and pushing stream restoration at a big event in late May or early June,” Main said.

“We need much more local support to apply pressure and get results.”

Excess nutrients are a major problem in the lake, the newspaper reported, but Main said sedimentation is biggest issue.

Without action, the northern one-third of Lake Pepin will fill with sediment this century, Goodhue County commissioners were told at their Feb. 18 meeting.

Rylee Main, project manager for Lake Pepin Legacy Alliance, told the board the whole lake will fill with sediments within 300 years. The process, which would otherwise take thousands of years, is expedited by human actions.

“Already, boaters report many channels are getting shallower,” she said.

Stream bank erosion and increased river flow is to blame and Main said 75 percent of the sediment comes from the Minnesota River basin, the Cannon Falls Beacon recently reported.

The alliance is working with the state, river partnerships and others upstream to raise concerns about sediments and en-

Better Breather Support Group Meetings

Senate Transportation Committee to hear Hit and Run Legislation

The new American Lung Association of Minnesota’s Better Breathers Club Support Group at St. Francis Regional Medical Center meets the first Tuesday of each month from 1-2:30 p.m.

It’s held in the St. Francis Conference Area.

The Better Breathers Club is a support group for people with chronic lung disease and their families, friends and support persons.

The purpose of the club is to offer patient-centered, community-based educational opportunities and support to persons with chronic lung disease - especially COPD but also asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), lung cancer and other chronic lung diseases.

For more information, call 952-428-2377.

Senator Kevin Dahle (DFLNorthfield) has authored legislation to clarify the hit and run statute by requiring drivers involved in collisions to determine what they struck.

It closes the loophole in the current law that allows drivers to flee the scene of a collision and then, if caught, escape liability by claiming that they did not know what they struck.

In 2007 the Minnesota Su-

preme Court reversed a hit and run conviction based on the language in the current statute stating that the legislature could rewrite the law to require drivers to stop and determine what was struck. The loophole in this law has continued to be a problem since that time. Stopping and offering assistance to someone injured in a collision could make the difference between life and death.

Kane Thomson, whose brother Kris Zell was the victim in the 2007 case mentioned above, will join Sen. Dahle to testify on the bill. Kelly Moller, Prosecutor and Interim Executive Director of the Minnesota Alliance on Crime, will also join them.

Carver’s park and ride is ready to move toward construction now that the county board has approved bids for the work.

The county board recently accepted bids from Minger Construction Inc. to build the 400 space lot and improve the intersection of County Road 11

and Ironwood Drive just south of Highway 212. Minger’s bid was $3,445,112.52, the Waconia Patriot recently reported.

New Prague’s Police Chief Announces His Plan to Retire in 2014

After nearly 30 years on the job in New Prague, Police Chief Mark Vosejpka recently informed the city council he plans to retire this year.

The council, still awaiting Vosejpka’s formal retirement letter, feels Sgt. Jim Gareis is a good candidate for the job.

Councilors Dave Bruzek and Mark Bartusek and Shawn Ryan spoke highly of Gareis, indicating their support for him as the next chief. Bruzek said he didn’t see the need for an outside search process. Ryan supports hiring from within.

The department employs a fulltime staff of 10 with an overall

annual budget exceeding $1.2 million, the New Prague Times recently reported.

The council has yet to announce if it will conduct a formal search using in-house resources or hire a firm to conduct a search. The city has a proposal from Springsted Inc. to conduct a search for the new chief.

A search firm could bring the council a list of 10 candidates worthy of an interview, the newspaper reported. The council has some time on its side since Vosejpka doesn’t plan to retire until Aug. 31.

One of the interesting things that I found in my reading this week came in the form of a slide show. I found it at URL: http://www.slideshare.net/davidleeking/emergingtrends-in-libraries-for-2014 while doing some internet reading. It was a presentation that was done

by David King, the Digital Service Director for the Topeka and Shawnee County Library system in Kansas. If you click on his name on the we page cited above, it will take you to another page with more of his work.

In clicking through the slide show, you need to use your imagination a bit to get a feeling for what Mr. King is trying to say. The main theme centers on the rapid pace that technology evolves. Things that were “new technology” to us, is “old stuff” to our kids and grandkids. For us, floppy disks were a new and convenient way to store and transfer data. Now, it takes extra effort to read those disks if you can find ancient enough equipment. Much of the equipment is simply gone.

We have tapes for VCRs in our inventory. While the content on the VCR tapes can be interesting and fun to watch, the interest in using them has dropped way off.

I do not own a “smart-phone”.

I see my kids and grand-kids use them often. They talk about “apps” which is short for “applications”. These apps are computer programs that do some sort of task for you. They might find a map, a restaurant, or a book title for you. These apps allow you to reserve hotel rooms, reserve a table at a restaurant, or purchase some goods. If you have an e-reader, the apps on the e-reader help you find, borrow or buy, and read books and magazines. This, in part, made me stop when I got to slide number 27 in the slide show.

It made me wonder if our readers had or knew of apps that they could have on their smart-phone that would help them use their library. Do these apps help us help them? Does the Scott County Website URL: http://www.scott. lib.mn.us/ work well on a smartphone? It would be interesting to hear from our readers on this one.

It certainly is something I will need to read more about.

Our “Winter Jackets” program finishes this week. Look for this program again next year and start working on some of your friends to join in on the fun. We thank the readers that took part in the program.

The snowy weather caused our program for February 20 to be rescheduled to the following week.

Scott County Library System will be presenting “DISHED!” This is a program with Teresa Marrone, author of “Modern Maple” Thursday February 27 at 7 p.m. at the Belle Plaine Branch Library.

Just in time for tapping season, wild food author and blogger Teresa Marrone will cover all things maple syrup, from the process of making it, the history of Minnesota’s love affair with maple syrup, and even some how-to’s for making syrup from your own maple trees. I hope all of our local Maple syrup makers and anybody curious about the topic, come to meet Teresa.

Adult book club will also be Thursday, February 27. Stop infor both programs.

We have no Storytime this week.

The Scott County Libraries will be closed on February 28, so that all librarians can attend a staff development day.

Library Hours: Saturday: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

City Council Okays Purchase of Emergency Preemption Devices

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine City Council last Tuesday night unanimously approved the purchase of five emergency preemption system devices for the new four-way traffic signal lights that will be installed this spring at the intersection of East Main Street/ Highway 25 and Old Highway 169 Boulevard in Belle Plaine.

“Currently, the police squads do not have an emergency preemption device installed to change traffic lights during an emergency response,” reported Interim City Administrator Dawn Meyer on behalf of Police Chief Tom Stolee. “With the new signal being installed, it is necessary to purchase and install the required equipment.”

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) recently announced that construction of the four-way traffic control lights is scheduled to begin April 21 with a completion date of May 16.

According to Stolee, the total cost of the preemption devices is $5,970. That amount will come from the city’s legal gambling fund, which is designated for public safety expenses.

The intersection where the traffic control light system will be installed is located next to the west ramps of the Highway 169 interchange. It will replace the existing four-way stop signs. There is currently no traffic signal system in place in Belle Plaine.

In other business last Tuesday night, the council unanimously approved the renewal of the city’s four Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) grant incentive programs for 2014. Included are: – Single-Family Home Down Payment Grant Program: The purpose is to encourage ownership of newly constructed single-family residences within the city of Belle Plaine.

Homeowners may apply for downpayment assistance in an amount of $2,000 upon purchase of a newly constructed home.

– Facade Improvement Grant Program: The purpose is to encourage the renovation of the

37 Apply for City Administrator Job (continued from page 1) 37 people have applied for the Belle Plaine city administrator position. Coincidently, Unmacht was Belle Plaine’s city administrator in the 1980s. Before joining Springsted, he was Scott County administrator for 11 years.

The city administrator job in Belle Plaine has been vacant since David Murphy’s release last August. Murphy had held the job for nearly 10 years.

Shortly after Murphy’s release, the council interviewed three finalists from a pool of 17 applicants. However, the council did not hire either of them, instead opting to create a new job description for the position, a function that was helped along by Springsted.

The salary range for the city administrator job in Belle Plaine, depending on qualifications, is $74,356 to $100,485 with “a highly competitive benefit package.” Murphy’s salary at the time of his departure was $98,485.

exteriors of existing housing stock located within the city in order to remedy existing city ordinance violations. Homeowners of low- to moderate-income may apply for assistance in the amount of $1,000 in matching funds.

– Energy Efficient Grant Program: The purpose of this program is to encourage the renovation of existing housing stock located in the city with energy efficient improvements. Homeowners of low- to moderateincome may apply for assistance in the amount of $1,000 in matching funds.

– Christmas in October Program: The purpose of this program is to reduce blight in residential neighborhoods within the city by providing assistance to people with low- to moderate-incomes to help restore/ cleanup residential properties.

More information about each of these programs is available at Belle Plaine City Hall. *Unanimously denied Ryan Reed’s request to allow a special home occupation permit at 421 West Court Street. Reed was seeking approval to operate a small appliance scrap/recycling business on the property.

Staff reported that this type of business, however small it may be, is not listed as a conditional use in the R-7 District, nor may it be permitted through the special home occupation permit process. *Unanimously approved the appointment of Nicholas Vendel as a part-time officer for the Belle Plaine Police Department, replacing Kris Moloney, who earlier this month was hired to become a full-time officer with the department. Seven applicants were interviewed for the part-time opening, after which Vendel was recommended for

the job. His rate of pay will be $14,50 per hour. No benefits are paid to part-time officers and they do not work a set scheduled shift. They are utilized to cover vacation, sick time and special city events. *Unanimously approved the renewal of the annual contract with SafeAssure Consultants, Inc. to provide Occupational Safety and Health Administration training in order to meet the requirements for city employees set forth by the Minnesota Department of Labor. The cost of the training is $4,735. *Unanimously approved pay request No. 7 by Chard Tiling for $37,320 for work on the 2013 street and utility improvement project. *Called for a March 17 public hearing on proposed revisions to the city’s sign and nuisance ordinances. Before then, the planning commission will hold a March 10 public hearing on the sign ordinance and the public safety committee has a final review of the nuisance ordinance planned for March 5.

The next regular meeting of the Belle Plaine City Council is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, March 3 in the City Hall building at 218 North Meridian Street downtown.

Meeting Format Change

Starting March 3, the Belle Plaine City Council will hold a workshop session following the conclusion of the first regular meeting of each month. Most workshops, which are designed to discuss potential future agenda items in more detail, have been held the last Monday of the month. Items discussed at the workshops are often acted on at the next regular meeting.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Belle Plaine’s First MRC Basketball Champions The 1983-84 Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team won its first MRC championship with a 43-27 victory over Le Center. It was the first time a Belle Plaine girls’ basketball team ever won the conference title. That same week, the Tigers advanced to the semifinals of the District 13 Tournament with a 50-39 victory over Montgomery-Lonsdale. Up next would be the Cleveland Clipperettes. Pictured above back row, from left, are Monica Hartman, Sandi Schmidt, Laurie Wolpern, Stacy Kerkow, Steph Fogarty and Judy Koepp. In the middle row are coach Lee Sauter, Jody Schmitz, Pam Farrar, Jill Hoelz, Sharon Meger, Ann Klehr and coach Doug Anderson. In the front row are Julie Halquist, Sally Halbmaier, Courtney Hoelz, Molly Daly, Mitzi Westlund and Cindy Stender.

Belle Plaine was getting closer to issuing a cable TV franchise and expected to have construction started that year. The committee approved “request for proposals” and sent it to the city council after fielding questions from various organizations that attended the meeting. A public hearing was set for March 19.

The people of Jordan were working together to purge the town’s reputation – a reputation that many said had been soiled by the scandalous acts of a few town residents and zealous reporting by the news media.

Jordan had been in the news almost daily since October when one of its residents was arrested and charged with 13 offenses involving the sexual and physical abuse of four children in Valley Green Mobile Homes Park. Since then, 16 more Jordan residents had been charged with similar offenses.

The Scott County Board indicated support that Tuesday but did not yet formally endorse creation of a tax increment district (TID) for the proposed Shakopee race track.

The Scott County Board that Tuesday agreed that the Metropolitan Council was forcing local selection of a fourth proposed landfill site, but commissioners delayed action one week in anticipation of favorable approval of a legislative bill reducing the number of required sites.

The Belle Plaine Cooperative would hold its annual meeting March 3 at the Belle Plaine Elementary School dining room.

Lunch would be served at noon followed by the business meeting. Entertainment by Gordon Ruwe, featuring Sunshine and Louis, would follow the meeting. Manager Wilmer Schmidt announced that two board members would be elected from three candidates – Pat Murphy, John Nagel and Alden Hardwick.

The Carver County Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 before an audience of 75 persons to refuse County Assessor Craig Zinter a second four-term in 1985. Zinter had been the subject of controversy since he came to the job three years previous and began upgrading assessment figures.

Thirty Years Ago This Week

The Scott County DFL annual beanfeed headlined “The Kickoff Campaign ‘84” was slated for March 11 at Geno’s Hub in Jordan. State Sen. Bob Schmitz and Representatives Bob Jensen and Bob Vanasek were scheduled as the featured guests at the yearly political fund-raiser.

Special invited guests would include former Minnesota Gov. Wendy Anderson and Hennepin County Commissioner John Derus.

Doreen Taylor and Jim O’Laughlin were winners for the Belle Plaine speech team at the Richfield Invitational.

Taylor placed third among 50 contestants in Original Oratory, and O’Laughlin placed sixth in a field of 52 in Extemporaneous Speaking. Forty Class A and AA schools participated in the meet that included 600 individual speakers. Belle Plaine’s team finished 14th overall, beating out all schools attending from our region.

Warm weather forced the Community Services Broomball League to an early end that year, only allowing 7 1/2 weeks of play. Yet, despite the setbacks, Eischens Bar received enough victories to send them to the State Men’s Class C Broomball Tournament in Litchfield sponsored by the Minnesota Recreation and Sports Federation. Eischens advanced to the championship game but lost to St. Cloud 2-0, leaving them with a second-place state tournament finish.

The Belle Plaine High School boys’ basketball team ran into an extremely hot-shooting Norwood team and as a result was on the short end of a 75-61 score. Norwood shot a blistering 76 percent from the field, making 31 of 41 attempts.

Kevin Wolpern had 20 points in a lost cause for the Tigers.

Also in double figures for Belle Plaine were Rich Halquist, Bill Fogarty and Jeff Fogarty.

The Fogarty brothers, Ed and Andy, would be representing BPHS at the state wrestling tournament in St. Paul that week. Ed won the 132-pound Region 4 championship and Andy took runner up honors.

Smith drew the directors’ attention to the project at the workshop to avoid a surprise or potential sticker shock when the board formally OKs the work in an upcoming meeting.

Overall, pending board approval, the district plans to spend $186,000 on its facilities in 2014-15.

Some of the other projects planned include classroom carpeting at Chatfield Elementary ($3,500), seal coating the south parking lot at Oak Crest ($7,000), carpeting in the juniorsenior high building ($18,000), repairs to thee HVAC system ($25,000) and light-emitting diode lights in district parking lots ($20,000).

Taking care of facilities can be costly. In addition to current projects, the five-year plan calls for $180,000 in investment for 2015-16. The bigticket items in the plan include resurface the track and restripe it ($40,000), re-roofing work at the Belle Plaine District Center ($50,000) and repair and resurface the entry loop at Chatfield Elementary ($15,000).

Calendar Consideration

The school board approved the 2014-15 school calendar and discussed potentially eliminating half-days. The district also plans to form a standing calendar committee of teachers, administrators and staff to help create future calendars.

The approved version is one of three the board considered for the 2014-15 school year.

It includes 184 workdays for teachers, 174 class days.

The approved calendar moves spring break to March 30 through April 3, the break aligns with Easter weekend instead of having a spring break and then having a Friday and Monday off one week later.

“It makes sense to me to combine the break with the holiday,” he said.

The approved calendar includes a full two-week break over Christmas and New Year’s.

It has the school year beginning Sept. 2 for junior and senior high school students. For elementary school students, Sept. 2-3 is reserved for by-appointment conferences between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. with elementary school beginning Sept. 4.

The snow disappeared after four months of good sledding.

It had been a winter without blizzards or damp weather.

Union Hill was enjoying a business boom and there was some talk of incorporating it as a village. It lately acquired a photographer and a tailor, and a stockyard was established for the use of the stock raisers.

The Dan Callahan hardware store and the Jacob Schmitt blacksmith shop were burglarized on the same night.

the beginning of school was a success as teachers and parents had the chance to meet and discuss the student’s goals and expectations for a longer period compared to the old system of mass conferences.

The calendar the board OK’d includes a half-day Oct. 3 with teachers in a workshop for the afternoon. There is no school Oct. 16-17 because of the Education Minnesota Conferences.

In November, elementary conferences are Nov. 6 and 13.

Conferences for junior and senior high school students are Nov. 13 and 17. The holiday break runs from Dec. 22-31 with school back in session Jan. 5, 2015.

The calendar calls for halfdays and teacher afternoon workshops Feb. 13 and March.

13. It has March 30 as a teacher workshop day with spring break running March 31 through April 3. After Memorial Day May 25, school ends June 4 with graduation June 7.

Board members are interested in eliminating the half-days on the calendar. The days allow for a half day of instruction with teachers meeting in the afternoons.

“The half-day days have been a point of discussion for some time. I know that they create difficulties for parents for childcare and other arrangements on these days and it is difficult for instruction as well - especially at the high school where scheduling is pretty locked in and you might miss four days with classes that you have in the afternoon,” Smith said.

“Half-days are just as expensive as full days,” said Director Joe Vandermark, adding that full school days are more beneficial than half days.

The district will be looking at potential alternatives to the half-day days for future calendars beginning with the 201516 school year. Smith also is seeking staff participation in a calendar committee, a move intended to seek staff input into future calendars and consideration of the impact calendars have for teachers, students and parents.

The local fire department answered a call at the Bill Dunn farm near Assumption. The fire started when LeRoy Splinter, who had just moved in that morning, tried to start a fire in the stove. The firemen succeeded in extinguishing the flames before much damage was done.

Local firemen were called to the Krueger sawmill, where a rubbish fire needed checking.

No fire damage.

Henry A. Ruehling retired from his farm, and with his son, Howard, moved into town, taking occupancy of the house he owned on East Main Street. The vacated farm was then occupied

by Emil Carlson, who had been renting the Mrs. Alice Ahrens place. Reuben Tesch moved to the Ahrens farm, and the place vacated by Mr. Tesch was occupied by Clarence Schmitz, who came from the Benedict community. One retirement started many farm changes.

Shamrock Hunt Begins

St. Thomas St. Thomas Catholic Church: Â Next mass is scheduled for Sunday, March 23 at 9 a.m. with Father James Burns.

St. Anne’s in Le Sueur: Masses are scheduled at 5:15 p.m.

Saturdays and 8 and 10:30 a.m.

Sundays with Father George Grafsky.

We had a wonderful mass at St. Thomas on Sunday morning. Will and Marvin Halloran served Father James Burns as he officiated mass here on Sunday to a little over 80 present. Tom Connelly read the liturgy; Gary and Shirley Rutt, Kevin Halloran and James Oak took up the gifts and collection. Assisting Father as Eucharistic Ministers were Debbie O’Connell and Jim Walker. Mary Reibel Schwartz was accompanied by the St. Thomas Choir, directed by Marie Retka. Father’s inspiring sermon was encouraging more forgiving, gratitude, empathy, having a pure, openly, loving, honest heart, and to rid ourselves of the poisonous toxins, like our own motives and jealousies. “Bless more, curse less.â€? We were listening, many of the comments overheard after mass were like “How did he know we needed that sermon this week?â€? Mary Jean Halloran’s comment “How did we get so lucky?

St. Thomas knows how lucky we are. We are eternally grateful for this priest and this time. We say that at every mass here at St. Thomas.

Many enjoyed a pancake and sausage breakfast after masshosted by the Belle Plaine FFA at the school in Belle Plaine.

Good wishes and prayers for comfort to Dan Meyer of Oklahoma. Danny is a brother of Ellie Doherty, Joe’s wife

and a daughter-in-law of the late George and Millie Doherty.

Dan was always on the A Honor Roll in high school, trying to compete with Gail Meyer, the class genius. This writer didn’t really get to know the fun-loving fellow til after our graduation from Le Sueur High School and his tour/tours of duty in Vietnam. We worked at Larson’s in Le Center assembling pool tables back in the early 70’s with a bunch of other fun folks, Dan’s summer job. Intelligent, friendly, with a modest and quiet sense of humor, Dan’s been going through a tough time recently.

We wish him well.     A small crowd braved the cold at the annual St. Thomas Sportsmans Sliding Party on Holden’s Hill, Sunday afternoon. Goodies and warm refreshments were served. Family and friends gathered on Saturday, February 22 at the Green Mill in St. Paul at a surprise party to celebrate Mickey Sullivan’s 30th birthday. His siblings and their spouses, his roommates, and Max and Milt attended. Also attending were Becca McLaughlin from the Twin Cities and her parents from Duluth.

Luke and Alice Retka enjoyed spending time last week at their cabin near Spicer. They sat out the snowstorm by the fireplace, enjoyed snowmobiling and snow shoeing. It was a mini snow vacation�

Roger and Adam Reak led a group of local fishermen to Waubay, South Dakota last week to do a bit of ice fishing.

A few St. Thomas folks were entertained at a talent contest in Henderson, Saturday evening. Shane Boehne won the People Choice trophy with his mature voice singing “Turn your radio on�. Josh Reintz won the Judge’s Choice trophy with songs he had written of the East Henderson area and the soil. The Henderson Roadhaus hosted the talent contest at the Event Center. Guests would have given a trophy to

the wonderful meal that was served. KCHK radio was well represented.

Somebody asked “Who’s Annie Burns?� mentioned in last week’s news? Annie’s the middle daughter of Ron and Carolyn O’Neil Burns, granddaughter of Timmy and Rosemary Burns and Jim and Muriel O’Neil, all of St. Thomas. She’s been working in Alaska for years...

Not St. Thomas but: Anna Burns, daughter of Bob and Joan Burns, is in the running to become Miss Irish Rose or Miss St. Patrick of southern Minnesota. She is sponsored

by Burns Sales and Service of Janesville, with a heritage of all four sets of her great-great grandparents on her dad’s side, who came to America from County Cork, Ireland; Daniel and Mary Linnihan, James and Elizabeth Norton, Matthew and Katherine Keeley, and Miles and Sarah Burns. Each of the couples settled in Wisconsin and each couple migrated to southern Minnesota. Two generations later, her paternal grandparents, both 100 percent Irish, were part of the original founding group of the IrishAmerican Club of Southern Minnesota. Anna attends Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton School in the Class of 2015.

Locally, Anna is a maternal  granddaughter of the late Roman and Marie Stumpf of Le Sueur. “Polar vortex�, “colder�, “icy, snow packed roads.� Give us a break! Please. We promise to be grateful. This might have worked better if we’d have said it at church. Have a good week, folks. Stay safe and warm.

Belle Plaine's 2014 Shamrock Medallion Hunt is underway with the accompanying clue.

The search area is the same as in recent years, which includes the south side of Highway 169

Clue 1

If you’re a treasure hunter, then we’ll call this the quest, Avoid all of those collisions or you can be my guest.

The prize that you seek may not make you wealthy, Strike a pose and focus on that selfy.

I’m as happy as a sandboy, it is a new frame, The luck of the Irish is what I proclaim.

Rules, rules, bombarded with rules, Highlight the day, you have all the tools.

Coast across the tundra, be the renegade, Filtering the flow, sacrifice the grade.

Could be a Minnesota Lynx or a Jordan Jaguar, It’s a race to the finish, just like you would in Nascar.

A pint of the black stuff should be in order, Don’t look in the middle, more towards the border.

Should have hid this earlier, your path to the dough, All you have to do is find my tracks in the snow.

“However, there is believed to be a genetic component to it.

Those who get atopic dermatitis likely have a family member who has also had it.�

The condition can develop any where on the body, but it most often develops on exposed areas such as the arms, legs, scalp, elbow creases, knees, face, wrist, hands or knuckles.

In older children and adults, the skin can become dark and thick which is a sign of recurring incidences of atopic dermatitis.

In those with darker skin, the area affected will often become lighter with thick patches.

Diagnosis is sometimes difficult as symptoms vary from person to person, but a family physician can tell if someone has atopic dermatitis by examining their skin and asking questions about their health history. “The condition can’t be cured, but there are ways to help relieve the symptoms of atopic dermatitis,� said Dr. Dwivedi. “If you do get a rash, you should avoid scratching it. As tough as it may be, scratching or rubbing irritated areas will only make the condition worse.�

A person with atopic dermatitis should use an unscented, thick moisturizing cream or ointment that keeps their skin from drying out. Petroleum jelly or other emollient creams work well to lock in moisture and reduce excessive dryness.

For moderate to severe cases, steroid cream and ointments can be applied to the skin to relieve itching and redness.

These creams are available by prescription and should only be used intermittently. Excessive use of topical steroid can leave a person’s skin fragile with a risk of breakage and bacterial skin infection. Other possible treatments include antihistamine pills (medicines used for people with allergies) and light therapy, but due to risks associated with some of these alternatives, these should only be considered after talking with your doctor and ruling out safer options.

The best way to deal with atopic dermatitis and other types of rash is to prevent flareups by avoiding things that trigger them in the first place.

Stay clear of irritants - Limit your contact with harsh soaps, household cleaners, detergents and other chemicals. Wool or some synthetic fabrics may also irritate the skin.

Take care of your skin while washing, bathing or showering – Only use mild, unscented soap and use cool or warm water, not hot.

Avoid getting too hot or too sweaty - Heat and sweat make a person’s skin more irritated and itchy.

Reduce stress – Practice stress reduction techniques because eczema can flare-up when a person is feeling stressed. “Finally, you should use a gentle moisturizer every day, “ said Dr. Dwivedi. “The number one rule of thumb in the winter is to ALWAYS keep your skin moisturized.�

the championship.

Scott West, Hutchinson and New Prague were each ranked in the top seven in the state entering the tournament. Scott West was No. 4, Hutchinson No. 6 and New Prague No. 7.

At No. 1 currently in the state is Simley, followed by Foley (2), Scott West (3) and Totino-Grace (4).

Simley had its streak of five consecutive state titles broken last year by first-time state champion Kasson-Mantorville by a score of 30-27 in the Class 2A championship match. But Simley, 23-3, is the favorite for this year’s tournament. Its only losses have come against Class 3A powers St. Michael-Albertville (twice) and Cambridge-Isanti.

Scott West lost to Simley in the state finals in 2011 and 2012 by scores of 39-16 and 36-22, respectively. In both of those years, it was Scott West’s only loss of the season.

This year, Scott West has a record of 21-2. One of those losses was based on tiebreaker criteria).

This week the Belle Plaine School District is celebrating the School of Excellence recognition that Oak Crest Elementary received this year. The following information is taken from a communication piece sent out by Dr. Liann Hanson, Principal at Oak Crest. “We are celebrating Oak Crest Elementary as a School of Excellence! The importance of this celebration is recognizing all the work, learning, and joy that go into our building above and beyond testing. The School of Excellence is based on: Six Minnesota School of Excellence Standards.

The Minnesota SOE program assesses six standards for quality elementary and middle level school communities. Research has shown that if these six standards are evident in a school, best practices are being followed.

1. Learning Centered: Balance management and leadership roles to lead schools in ways that place student and adult learning at the center.

2. Diverse Communities: Set high expectations and standards for the academic, social, emotional, and physical development of all students in an environment that acknowledges, fosters, and celebrates diversity.

3. 21st Century Learners: Demand content and instruction that ensure student achievement.

4. Quality Instruction: Create a culture of continuous learning for adults, tied to student learning and other school goals.

5. Knowledge and Data: Manage knowledge and data to inform decisions and measure progress of student, adult, and school performance.

6. Community Engagement: Actively engage the community to create shared responsibility for student performance and development. “In this time of high stakes testing, the quality of our school communities can far too easily be misrepresented by the singlepurposed federal testing requirement,� said P. Fred Storti, MESPA executive director. “High stakes tests, such as the MCA II tests used to evaluate Minnesota schools for Adequate Yearly Progress as required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act, offer a snapshot in time with no context. One high stakes test should not determine a school’s public stature and cannot adequately assess its educational effectiveness. Elementary and middle level schools provide the foundation for children’s lifelong learning, and the Minnesota School of Excellence program clearly connects the education process to student learning."

Oak Crest Elementary will have great celebrations happening to have a fun and meaningful week for staff and students!

Congratulations to Oak Crest Elementary students, parents and staff!�

Congratulations to seven Scott West wrestlers for qualifying to compete in the state individual wrestling tournament. This past weekend the following wrestlers punched their ticket to State: Champions – Ben Kelvington (113), David Flynn (126), Zach Siegle (138), & Andrew Fogarty (160); and Runner-Up finishers – Jackson Stauffacher (106), Derek Dahlke (170) & Ray Carter (182). Good luck to these individuals and to our Scott West team as they compete in this week’s State Wrestling Team & Individual Tournaments!

San Francisco, Green Isle Townships to Hold Elections Residents and voters in San Francisco Township will elect a new township supervisor, elect a clerk and approve the township’s 2015 levy Tuesday (March 11).

election expenses with county, state and federal races.

After the election, San Francisco Township will hold its annual meeting. The meeting includes approval of the township’s 2015 property tax levy. It pays for the general fund, road and bridge and fire services from Carver and Belle Plaine fire departments.

San Francisco Township’s 2014 levy was $260,450. It included no money for Belle Plaine fire because of proceeds from the City of Belle Plaine’s settlement of a dispute with area townships over proceeds for fire equipment.

The town board is recommending a 2015 levy of $287,900 – a levy that includes $13,000 for fire services from Belle Plaine, $10,000 to cover Carver County’s charge for assessment services, money for road projects, a new furnace at the township hall and money to set aside money for unforeseen expenses, said Supervisor Maidie Felton, the town board’s chairperson.

Setting money aside is important. This year, for example, the township will use funds set aside to pay for additional snow relocation, Felton said.

Green Isle Township

The only township of the 17 in Sibley County still holding spring elections, Green Isle Township has a supervisor and clerk position on the ballot March 11.

Supervisor Doug Ranzau is running unopposed for a threeyear term. It’s his first re-election bid after being appointed to fill a vacancy five years ago and winning election in 2011.

Green Isle Township Clerk Norman Schauer is running for re-election. He’s being challenged by Penny Luepke for a two-year term.

The polls are open Election Day from 5 to 8 p.m. After the polls close and ballots are counted, the winners will be announced. The annual meeting will be held following the vote count..

In Memory of Craig J. Jeurissen

I have been told there are over six million people in the USA who have had an “out of body� experience some maybe seeing part of heaven or part of hell or something else. I have met and talked with three people like this and read the story of several others. I am an 80 year old man, a follower of Jesus the Christ for many years. If you have had an experience like the above please send me a copy of your story. I would like to use your story to strengthen the faith of my many loved ones, friends and neighbors. Please write to me: Bruce Pope, 31166 Cherry Creek Lane, St. Peter, MN 56082.

H.S. Wrestling

Panthers Set for St. Paul The Scott West wrestling team continued to roll this past weekend as it followed up its 2014 Section 2AA Team Tournament championship by advancing seven individual wrestlers to the Minnesota State Individual Tournament that will be held at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul this weekend.

At the Section 2AA Individual Tournament held at Mankato West this past Friday and Saturday, Scott West had seven wrestlers advance to the championship round and it was each one of those wrestlers that punched their ticket to state.

“Nothing ever comes easy at the Section 2AA Individual Tournament,” states Scott West coach Darren Ripley. “This section has a long-standing tradition of being the toughest and deepest in Minnesota’s Class AA.” The 113-pound weight class was won by Scott West sophomore Ben Kelvington as the Panther lightweight continued his impressive streak of good wrestling by beating GlencoeSilver Lake’s #4-rated and returning state place-winner Jacob Jewett, 10-3. It was a “Panther Payback” for Kelvington as the two wrestlers had met a year ago with Jewett winning an 8-2 semifinal decision on his way to the Section 2AA title that included a 6-2 win over eventual state runner-up Tucker Sjomeling of Delano. On this Saturday afternoon it was all Kelvington as he dominated the action from start to finish. The start of Kelvington’s championship win was a thing of beauty as he scored the opening take down with a lightning-quick single that helped lead to a 4-2 first-period lead. Going into the third period. Kelvington held a 4-3 lead before putting the match away with a most impressive third period that included an escape, take down and a hard ride that resulted in a late three-point near fall and a 10-3 championship win. The excited Kelvington came off the mat to the congratulations of a pumped up Scott West wrestling corner of coaches and wrestlers.

“Benny K’s excited about wrestling and you can see it,” states Ripley. “It’s a breakout performance that he now has the opportunity to build on at the state tournament.”

Scott West junior 126-pounder David Flynn continued his pinning ways as he pinned three of his four opponents on his way to his third Section 2AA championship. After recording a pin of Watertown-Mayer Lutheran’s Bryce Duske in the semifinals, Flynn had a rematch with Hutchinson’s Riley Drew as the two had met in the Section 2AA Team Tournament. It may have been another week and another match but the result was the same as Flynn, rated No. 1, powered Drew’s shoulder to the mat for a second-period pin fall call at 2:33.

“David really raised his level of wrestling when he won the championship at the Rumble on the Red,” states Ripley. “He will need to follow that same pattern to win a state championship as two of the top wrestlers that he beat at the Rumble on the Red are on his side of the bracket at state.” Those two wrestlers are Worthington’s #2-rated and returning state champion Anthony Luft, who Flynn defeated 4-1 in the semifinals of the Rumble on the Red, and Foley’s #3-rated and returning state runner-up Tyler Funk, who Flynn defeated 6-0 in the championship of the Rumble on the Red. It was a big weekend for Zach Siegle as the #1-rated Scott West 138-pounder won his 150th career match with a Friday night third-period pin over St. Peter’s Brayden Hauser to advance to the semifinals on Saturday,

where the senior would eventually go onto win his secondstraight Section 2AA championship. That championship win came against a familiar opponent as Siegle did battle with New Prague’s #3-rated James Berg in the championship final for a second year in a row. Last year it was the Scott West wrestler winning a 3-0 decision and this year, while the score would change, the three-point margin of difference remained the same as Siegle scored a 5-2 championship win. After a scoreless first period, Siegle scored an escape and a take down to take a 3-0 lead in the third period. He then opened up a 5-0 lead with a take down before Berg scored a late reversal to close out the match.

“We would have liked to see Zach close the match out at 5-0,” contends Ripley. “However, you have to give Berg some credit as he is highly rated and is going to keep wrestling hard for the full six minutes.”

Scott West would win four of its seven championship matches as junior Andrew Fogarty pinned his way to his third Section 2AA championship title at 160 pounds. It would be a short championship final as Fogarty made quick work of New Prague’s Joe Heinz. After scoring the opening take down, Fogarty secured a leg-turk position that ultimately pressed the Trojan wrestler’s shoulders to the mat at 1:13 of the first period.

“Andrew went out there and took care of business,” insists Ripley. “I think he is looking forward to the state tournament and the opportunity of getting after a state championship.” The #1-rated Fogarty has placed third in each of the last two state tournaments.

While the Panthers won four championship matches on the day, they did not win three others with Jackson Stauffacher at 106, Derek Dahlke at 170 and Ray Carter at 182. And as previously stated, nothing ever comes easy in Section 2AA and that was certainly the case for these Scott West wrestlers as each of them would have to wrestle again to earn their trip to state “the hard way” by winning what is called “the true second match.”

“We prefer to avoid these if possible,” explains Ripley. “A true second match will test you as it is not always easy to bounce right back from a championship loss to go meet the wrestler that has just won a match for third place and has now been given a new opportunity to go to state.”

However, state is where all three of the Scott West finalists will go, led by eighth-grader Jackson Stauffacher at 106 pounds. After losing a 12-0 championship match to #1-rated and returning state champion Tucker Sjomeling of Delano, the young Panther lightweight came right back to score a 7-2 win over St. Peter’s Wyatt Gillette for second place. After the match, Stauffacher ran into the open arm embrace of his dad, Scott West coach Jerold Stauffacher. “A true second match will test your mettle,” states Ripley. “Jackson has pretty good mettle.”

Later in the round of true second wrestleback matches, both mats in the Mankato West gym would have Scott West Panthers wrestling on them as both seniors Derek Dahlke and Ray Carter looked to win their way to the state individual tournament. Carter would get there first as the 182-pounder, who had to bounce back from a 5-2 loss to Hutchinson’s #7-rated Gannon Jordahl, used a doubleleg take down right from the get-go against Waconia’s Jed Waligoski to take a 2-0 first-

period lead. Carter then used an escape, some good hard riding and a third-period take down to win his match for second place and finish off his hardearned trip to the state tournament. Carter had placed sixth in the section at 195 as a sophomore, fourth last year at 195 as a junior and this year second at 182. While his weight classes dropped, his placings did not.

While Carter was finishing up his win for second place, Scott West 170-pounder Derek Dahlke was continuing his domination of a now familiar foe in Hutchinson’s Gregor Fraser.

The two had split matches last year and Dahlke beat Fraser by a major decision in the previous week’s Section 2AA Team Tournament final. It would be more of the same on this goaround as Dahlke, rebounding from a 3-1 loss to Tri-City United’s #3-rated Josh Selly, piled on the points as he continued to attack Fraser all the way to a state-advancing 13-3 win.

“Throughout his wrestling career, I have always thought that Derek would have the opportunity to be in this position,” suggests Ripley. “That opportunity is here now and it’s time to go get it.”

Scott West senior Jacob Backlund also had an opportunity at a true second match as he wrestled his way back to third place after losing an 8-2 semifinal bout with New Prague’s #1-rated Griffin Parriott at 132.

Backlund’s opportunity would come against Hutchinson’s Tryston Kostelecky but the latter won the rematch 5-1.

Scott West also got a thirdplace performance from senior Jake Schultz at 195. Senior Shane Abraham placed sixth at 145, while senior Jack Storlie (152), sophomore Tyler Grieves (220) and senior Daniel Kochlin (HWT) competed for the Panthers in the tournament but did not place in the top six of their respective weight classes.

Scott West, 21-2 and #3-rated in the state in Class AA, will begin the Minnesota’s State Team competition with quarterfinal action on Thursday at 11 a.m. against the 23-9 and #10-rated Milaca Wolves, with a possible showdown with the 25-3 and #2-rated Foley Falcons looming in the semifinals.

Scott West and Milaca are not strangers on the mat as the two programs have met four times at the state tournament, with each side winning a pair of those battles.

“Milaca has a very solid program and they come to the state tournament on a regular basis,” states Ripley. “They have some unique things that they like to do as part of their style of wrestling.”

Milaca has a long-standing rivalry with Foley and the winner of the Scott West-Milaca meet will most likely meet Foley in the semifinals and that’s what Scott West did two years ago when the Panthers beat the Falcons 31-21 in the state semifinals.

“As bad as we played against LS-H, we played well against TCU,” Wellner said. “It really was a total team effort where everyone played well. We did so many things better than Tuesday night. The key was our rebounding. We limited them to very few offensive rebounds and we got several of our misses. This is what we need to do in the playoffs.”

Results from Belle Plaine High School varsity sports that take place after press time can be found at www. belleplaineherald.com or on the Herald’s Facebook page.

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School boys’ basketball team experienced perhaps its lowest low and highest high in the final week of the regular season, losing to Le Sueur-Henderson 75-57 last Tuesday before rising back up to throttle Tri-City United 80-48 on Saturday. Both games were played in Belle Plaine.

The yo-yo Tigers, who finished the regular season 8-6 in the Minnesota River Conference, 15-8 overall, were scheduled to host Le Sueur-Henderson in the first round of the Section 2AA, North Subsection Tournament Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press (see www.belleplaineherald.com or the Herald’s Facebook page for result).

The No. 4 seed Tigers and No. 5 Giants split their two regular season games, both winning on the other’s home floor. The winner will travel to New Prague High School to take on top seed and MRC champion Mayer Lutheran (17-5) 6 p.m. this Friday. The Crusaders received a first-round bye. The top seed in the south subsection of the 15-team tournament is Waseca, which with a record of 23-2, is the highest-ranked team in the field.

Other first-round games in the north subsection Tuesday had No. 3 seed Glencoe-Silver Lake (11-11) at home against No. 6 Norwood Young America (11-12) and No. 7 Sibley East (6-17) at No. 2 Jordan (12-11).

All the first-round winners will meet in the semifinals at New Prague this Friday night. The north subsection championship will be played 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 4 at Minnesota State University Mankato (MSU).

In the south subsection Tuesday, it was No. 1 Waseca (23-2) hosting No. 8 Kenyon-Wanamingo (0-23), No. 4 St. Peter (10-14) at home against No. 5 Tri-City United (10-10), No. 3 Waterville-Elysian-Morristown (17-8) hosting No. 6 Maple River (11-14) and No. 7 Medford (3-20) at No. 2 NRHEG (18-6). The south subsection semifinals will be played this Friday night at Mankato East High School. The championship is slated for 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 4 at MSU. The north and south subsection champions will meet for the Section 2AA title 8 p.m.

Friday, March 7 at MSU. LS-H 75, Tigers 57 No one knew it at the time but last Tuesday night’s game turned out to be a preview of their first-round playoff game seven nights later in Belle Plaine. The Tigers had to hope that last night’s outcome was different than last week’s as the Giants posted a 17-point victory. Belle Plaine had won the first meeting between the two teams 72-69 on Jan. 17 in Henderson.

This time around, LS-H built a 36-29 halftime lead and extended it to 47-29 in the first three minutes of the second half.

“This was a very disappointing game for us,” said Belle Plaine coach John Wellner. “It wasn’t that we shot poorly, it was that we didn’t work together on the floor. LS-H just outworked us.

It looked like the game was much more important to them than us. You can tell a lot by rebounding totals. In every game

Belle Plaine’s Kincade Retzer scored three points against LS-H last Tuesday night at the BPHS gym.

The Tigers’ Sam Karl had five points and five rebounds against LS-H last Tuesday night at the BPHS gym.

Belle Plaine’s Mitchel Stier, right, had three points and two rebounds against LS-H last Tuesday night at the BPHS gym.
