Scott County Board Appoints Hennen as Next Sheriff He Will Replace Studnicka May 27

BPHS’s 2016 one-act play cast and crew, pictured in St. Paul Thursday, are back row, from left, Codirector Tony Hartmann, Taylor Cote, Hunter Meyer, Patrick Selly, Kolby Spomer, Stephen LaJeunesse, Neil Bigaouette, Noah Reutzel, Bryce Nelson, Jonah Meyer and Drew Keup. In the middle row are Kali Gorman (standing center in photo), Jennifer He, John Franck, Griffin Ruud, Codirector Carol Hannon-Orr and Emma Salden. In the front row are Aryanna Albee, Rachel Fahey, Taylor Thompson, Megan Littlepage, Hannah Burmeister.

By a 4-1 vote Tuesday (Feb. 16), the Scott County Board approved Luke Hennen as the next county sheriff. He will succeed retiring Sheriff Kevin Studnicka.

Studnicka will retire May 26 with about 30 years experience, almost 25 of which have been spent in the Scott County Sheriff’s Office. He started his career with the Belle Plaine Police Department.

The board deemed Hennen, the sheriff’s chief deputy since Dec. 31, the most qualified can-

didate for the position. Hennen graduated with a degree in law enforcement from Minnesota State University, Mankato in 1998. Hennen is back at MSU, Mankato working on his master’s degree in public administration. He expects to complete the work later this year.

Gary Shelton, Scott County’s administrator, said Hennen is an excellent deputy who has earned high marks for his performance at every level.

Hennen spent 1999 and 2000 working as a road deputy. From

‘Anatomy of Gray’ Shines at State One-Act Play Festival School Earns Coveted Star Rating

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School one-act play group added a 12th star to the program’s astronomical history Thursday when it again excelled at the Minnesota State High School Class 1A One-Act Play Festival at St. Catherine University in St. Paul.

Belle Plaine’s 2016 production of “Anatomy of Gray” was one of three plays out of eight to earn a starred rating at the state Class 1A festival. The one-act play season started with over 200 Class 1A schools wishing for a star. Joining Belle Plaine Thursday in earning a star were Browerville’s “An Uncommon Treasure” and Fillmore Central’s “Oz.” The other participating Class 1A schools were Trinity School at River Ridge, Russell-TylerRuthton, East Central, Hawley and Bagley.

Director’s Comments “When we began the year, I was considering this one-act season to be a rebuilding year because we lost 12 seniors to graduation and only seven underclassmen would possibly be returning,” said Tony Hartmann, who along with Carol Hannon-Orr co-directed this year’s play. “We considered doing a small cast show this year,

Despite being the No. 4 seed and having lost to the other three teams this season at Saturday’s Section 2AA Final Four (semifinals and final) at Hutchinson, it was Scott West capturing its 16th section championship in its 26-year history following victories over No. 1 seed Waconia and No. 2 Hutchinson.

Scott West Posts Back-to-Back Upsets to Get Back to State

by Dan Ruud For a second year in a row, the Scott West wrestling team defeated a No. 1 seed en route to winning the Section 2AA Team Tournament.

Scott West, which edged top seed New Prague by tiebreaker criteria in last year’s section championship, came from the No. 4 seed this year to post back-to-back upsets at Hutchin-

son Saturday and punch its ticket to St. Paul.

Following a 51-14 shellacking of No. 5 seed New Prague in the quarterfinals Thursday night in Jordan, the Panthers set their sights on No. 1 seed Waconia, which had defeated Scott West 33-21 on Jan. 28. Waconia’s only loss in the regular season was against Class 3A superpower St. Michael-Albertville.

That was until Saturday’s section semifinals as the Panthers disposed of the Wildcats 34-23, a 23-point reversal from the Jan. 28 result.

Up next was No. 2 seed and host Hutchinson, which was coming off a hard-fought 3029 semifinal triumph over No.

Pond Hockey Tournament Benefits Association

Before going on stage for the state festival, actors and actresses double-checked their costumes On a crisp, chilly Saturday (Feb. 13), 10 teams from Belle Plaine and the surrounding area and makeup. Hannah Burmeister (left) and Taylor Thompson (right) applied the finishing took over the two ice rinks across from Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School for the annual touches to hair and lipstick before the performance of “Anatomy of Gray.”

(Above) The Borough Riders from Belle Plaine-Henderson defeated the Mighty Ducks from Savage-Richfield (in green) during consolation bracket play.

Proceeds from the tournament will benefit the association’s efforts to improve the rinks and eventually purchase equipment.

New Librarian Hired for10.21.15 B.P. 11.18.15 12.16.15 and Jordan 1.20.16

Brittany Traynor 2.17.16 has been hired to become the3.16.16 next librarian for the Belle Plaine and Jordan public libraries.

“Brittany brings several years of experience as a library media specialist in the Eau Claire Area School District and supervisory experience in a retail environment,” said Scott County Library Director Jacob Grussing.

Traynor received her Master of Education - Library Science degree from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Her first day will be Monday, Feb. 22.

Approximately 30 people applied for the Belle Plaine/Jordan job, which became available when Melissa Smith resigned to accept the head job at the Prior Lake Public Library.

Smith, who lives in Prior Lake, had been the branch manager for Belle Plaine/Jordan only since last February, at which time she took over for longtime Belle Plaine Librarian Georgine Gansen, who retired.

More on Traynor will appear in next Wednesday’s Herald.

Members of the cast and crew of BPHS’s one-act play, “Anatomy of Gray,” had to work fast to set up and remove their set from the stage at the State One-Act Play Festival Thursday (Feb. 11) at The O’Shaughnessy at St. Catherine’s University. Taylor Cote carried a platform while co-director Tony Hartmann carried sandbags to a waiting trailer. Jonah Meyer and John Frank carried pallets.

One-Act (continued from page 1)

but when 42 talented students showed up for tryouts back in early December, we knew we had to give as many students as possible the opportunity to perform.

“MSHSL rules allows for a total of 20 cast and crew members to be used at competition, so we selected ‘Anatomy of

Gray’ written by Jim Leonard Jr. as our 2016 production because it featured nine main speaking parts and allowed for as many townspeople roles as possible. We cast 18 actors, and two lights and sound technicians,” Hartmann continued.

“We had some success producing historical pieces in the past and we knew this was a quality script with a great story to tell.

Jim Leonard is the same author who wrote ‘The Diviners,’ which Belle Plaine took to state back in the mid-90s under the direction of Chris Moore.

“It has been a pleasure working with so many talented students. The Belle Plaine theater program has always been a collaboration involving countless people from our school and community. It has been great to see so many supporters at each level of our competition. The alumni keep returning every year to watch the shows, and countless parents and community members are always offering their support. We really appreciate it,” Hartmann concluded.

“Anatomy of Gray” tells the story of June Muldoon, a 15year-old girl growing up in a small Indiana town in the 1880s. When June’s father dies, she prays for a healer to come to the small town so that no one will ever suffer again. The next thing she knows, there’s a tornado and a man in a balloon blows into town claiming to be a doctor.

At first, the new doctor cures anything and everything, but soon the town’s preacher takes ill with a mysterious plague, which begins to spread. The play deals with death, loss, love and healing in a unique comingof-age story.

This year’s Belle Plaine cast and crew were: Jonah Meyer (Gray), Hannah Burmeister (June), Megan Littlepage (Rebekah), Noah Reutzel (Phineas), Rachel Fahey (Tiny), Stephen LaJeunesse (Crutch), Kali Gorman (Belva), Griffin Ruud (Homer) and Taylor Thompson (Maggie).

The townspeople were played

by Aryanna Albee, Neil Bigaouette, Taylor Cote, John Franck, Jennifer He, Hunter Meyer, Bryce Nelson, Emma Salden and Patrick Selly.

The crew consisted of Drew Keup and Kolby Spomer.

The BPHS one-act play group earned its 11th starred rating in program history at state with its 2014 production of “The

Drowsy Professor.” The school earned previous star ratings at state in 1993, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

The judges consult after each production and then openly critique each in front of the cast, crew and audience. “Starred performance” ratings are determined by private balloting of the judges. One school from each of eight sections in each class gets to perform at the state level.

Judges’ Comments Below are some of the judges’ remarks after viewing Belle Plaine’s play Thursday: Judge 1: Gave Exemplary Ratings in all five categories: A wonderfully weather-beaten set that goes a long way in placing time and locale for this story. The overall spectacle of this show (costumes, set, lights and carefully constructed stage pictures) is a credit to all involved. Having said that, the true strength of this production is each individual actor’s attention to a specific, well-defined characterization.

Well paced, lively, lots of homespun humor – an exemplary production. Thank you so much for your commitment to good theatre!

Judge 2: Gave Exemplary Ratings in all five categories Beautiful opening picture. The choice of costume colors made all of the wonderful freezes look like Dorthea Lange Depression Era pictures. I appreciated the relationships we saw and felt being established with one another. Best line ever – ‘I have a baby, an I’m a virgin.’

Congratulations on such a tremendous production. You have produced what I consider to be the gold standard of what this festival should be. Thank you so much. I am thankful I had the honor of seeing this. I do hope you know how lucky you are to be taught good theatre!

Judge 3: Gave exemplary ratings for technical elements and overall effectiveness of ensemble, and rated excellent in physical and vocal characterizations and educational value.

Beautiful rustic, textured set. I love the working windmill! Inviting opening music. Great tableau to invite us into the ‘family photo.’ Richness through simplicity. Great balance between humor and pathos. Lovely stage pictures throughout. A photo could be taken at any moment and it would tell a story. The black veils are a great symbolic touch. Love the boat/raft scene at the end – it is both containing and excluding at the same time.

Next Sheriff (continued from page 1)

2001 through 2010, he worked as an investigator. In 2010, Hennen earned a promotion to sergeant where he supervised the work of deputies on the road. He was promoted to chief deputy late last year when Dean Opatz, the former chief deputy, retired. Studnicka recently met privately with individual commissioners to inform him of his decision to retire mid-term and to promote the idea of appointing Hennen as Scott County’s next sheriff.

“I don’t think you’ll find anybody in the department who has better qualifications than Chief Deputy Hennen,” Shelton told the commissioners.

Noting that the board had never had to appoint a sheriff before, Commissioner Barbara Marschall of Prior Lake asked commissioners if they wanted to delay the decision on appointing Studnicka’s replacement.

The majority of board members opted to move forward with the appointment, though Commissioner Tom Wolf of Credit River favored waiting until earlyApril to make an appointment.

Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township, Belle Plaine’s representative on the county board, suggested allowing the rank-and-file of sheriff’s deputies, decide who they want to be the next sheriff rather than appointing the person who Studnicka favors. The board would then formally appoint the choice of that poll.

“Right now, we’re trusting the sitting sheriff on who they want,” Wagner said.

Shelton said that the process Wagner suggested would be an abdication of the board’s responsibility to appoint a sheriff.

Wagner concedes elections are popularity contests and that appointing Hennen because deputies like him would be good for morale.

Commissioner Mike Beard said the legislature’s aim was to have the board make the appointment. He “strongly disagrees” with the “popularity contest” proposal Wagner recommended. He said it is “a terrible way” to make the appointment.

Beard said leaving the position open until the next election would place commissioners derelict in its duties.

“We have a rock solid candidate,” said Commissioner Jon Ulrich of Savage. He added that Hennen will have 3½ months to learn from Studnicka.

Wolf said the county board will enjoy the credit if Hennen does a good job and will be blamed if he is not. Shelton said the board could rescind the resolution appointing Hennen before May 27 if it learns a reason Hennen should not become the county’s next sheriff.

“Future Farmers of America” was founded by a group of young farmers in 1928. Their mission was to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population.

But FFA has extended beyond just farming. The handwriting was already on the wall 30 years ago when the Belle Plaine Herald reported the following: It is National Future Farmers of America Week, and with the nation still gripped by a farm crisis, there is becoming more and more emphasis on off-farm

employment within FFA, according to Belle Plaine vocational and agricultural teacher Joel Larsen.

“In observing graduates of the program, we are seeing fewer students going home to the farm and more going on to technical schools and colleges to get training in some area of agriculture,” Larsen said.

The present day National FFA website echoes what Larsen stated 30 years ago.

“They taught us that agriculture is more than planting and harvesting – it’s a science, it’s a business and it’s an art. So today, we are still the Future Farmers of America. But, we are also the future biologists, future chemists, future veterinarians, future engineers, future entrepreneurs and future civic leaders.”

There are currently some 629,370 FFA members, aged 12-21 in 7,757 chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Forty-seven percent of FFA members are female and hold approximately 50 percent of state leadership positions.

Each year, FFA chapters around the country celebrate National FFA Week. The tradition began in 1947 when the National FFA Board of Directors designated the week of George Washington’s birthday as National FFA Day/Week in recognition of his legacy as an agriculturist and farmer.

National FFA Week is an opportunity for FFA members, alumni and sponsors to advocate for agricultural education and FFA. It’s a time to share with local, state and national audiences what FFA is and the impact it has on members everyday.

Twin Cities’ Local Government Coalition, which is comprised of city and county leaders from Scott, Anoka, Carver, and Dakota counties recently called for reform of the Metropolitan Council’s governance structure to make the council accountable to the people its decisions impact and improve future regional planning, growth and economic development.

“The Metropolitan Council’s authority and involvement in regional issues have expanded greatly since its founding in 1967, but today’s Council has no accountability to the regional residents and taxpayers,” said Scott County Commissioner Mike Beard of Shakopee. “Instead the council operates as a state agency, and is answerable solely to the governor. Reform of the Metropolitan Council’s governance structure would better serve the entire region while increasing accountability and collaboration.”

The Twin Cities’ Local Government Coalition supports strong regional governance, but says for it to be effective, citizens must feel that the body effectively represents their goals and values. Every major regional planning organization in the United States has a majority of locally elected members, while members of the Metropolitan Council are non-elected individuals answerable only to the governor, an office that has often been elected without majority support from metropolitan-area voters. This non-elected body has the ability to levy taxes on metropolitan-area residents.

“Minnesotans take pride in having an active role in the decision making process when it comes to public services but the cur-

rent structure of the Met Council keeps their voices silent,” said Commissioner Rhonda Sivarajah, chairperson of the Anoka County Board. “It’s time to get out of the ‘60s and have elected representation on the council.”

The coalition has developed a statement of belief and six principles for Metropolitan Council reform: It believes the Metropolitan Council, due to its taxing and policy authority, should be accountable to a regional constituency of those impacted by its decisions. It should not operate as a state agency – as it does in its current form — answerable to only one person, the governor.

The coalition’s principles for Metropolitan Council Reform include: • A majority of members of the Metropolitan Council shall be elected officials, appointed from cities and counties within the region.

• Metropolitan cities shall directly control the appointment process for city representatives to the Metropolitan Council.

• Metropolitan counties shall directly appoint their own representatives to the Metropolitan Council.

• The terms of office for any Metropolitan Council members appointed by the governor shall be staggered and not coterminous with the governor.

• Membership on the Metropolitan Council shall include representation from every metropolitan county government.

• The Metropolitan Council shall represent the entire region, therefore voting shall be structured based on population and incorporate a system of checks and balances.

The Coalition is asking for any

city or county in the metropolitan area that agrees with these principles to pass a resolution adopting them, to illustrate to the legislature and governor how many local governments support reform and local representation.

The coalition’s principles complement other calls for Metropolitan Council reform. In 2011, the nonpartisan Office of the Legislative Auditor in the evaluation report entitled “Governance of Transit in the Twin Cities Region” recommended a Council with a mix of gubernatorial appointees and elected officials from the region, in order to improve the council’s credibility and make it more accountable to its regional constituency.

Moving to a new governance structure would also allow the council to meet federal guidelines to serve as the region’s Metropolitan Planning Organization, a move encouraged by Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Federal Highway Administration (FHA) representatives in 2015 to make the council “more directly accountable to its public.”

The coalition’s objectives for its collective effort to improved council governance are: • To articulate a vision of responsive and effective metropolitan governance – as represented by a statement of belief and principles for reform of the Metropolitan Council.

• To align local government interests behind a reform effort – through formation of a broad coalition of metropolitan cities and counties – and a common position.

• To be prepared for any efforts – legislative and otherwise – to reform the governance structure and functioning of the Metropolitan Council.

have to rely on nearly all the fund balance it had built up by the end of the 2014-15 school year or make dramatic spending reductions.

Brandy Barrett, the school’s director, said the enrollment is looking solid for the 2016-17 school year. But the school remains challenged by the 77 kindergarten through sixth-graders residing in Green Isle who attend school elsewhere.

The council will decide again this spring if it will continue to allocate additional funding to the school. The city wants to keep the school open as an amenity for residents with children.

There are 52 kindergarten students through sixth-graders that reside in Green Isle and attend Sibley East schools in Arlington and Gaylord. There are 25 students in kindergarten through sixth-graders from Green Isle attending Central schools in Norwood Young America.

In other action at the Feb. 9 meeting, the Green Isle City Council: • Paid bills totaling $18,404.

• Voted unanimously to make its $14,889.79 payment for Arlington’s new ambulance in a single installment rather than eight installments at 3 percent interest.

• Received an introduction from Diana Karau, a candidate for the vacant seat on the Sibley East School Board.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Mrs. Joseph O. Mock, the former Adelaide C. Druke of Belle Plaine, opened a dress shop in Waconia, styled “Adelaide’s Shop.�

The baseball outlook for Belle Plaine took a turn for the better with the announcement that Cliff King, former cleanup hitter and center ďŹ elder for Le Center in the days of that town’s baseball powerhouse, was moving to Belle Plaine.

90 Years Ago (1926)

Calling His Shots Ninety-three-year-old Oscar Erdman of Belle Plaine was a straight shooter as more than one vanquished member of the local men’s eight-ball pool league could attest to in 1986. “He has the best win-loss percentage on the D & R Sportsman team,� said bar owner David Westphal.

It was thought that Erdman may be Minnesota’s oldest league pool player, racking up more than 72 years at the game. “I’m the oldest guy around here that plays pool, that’s for sure,�

Erdman said. “I play most of the young fellas around here and I hold my own.�

The State Department of Public Service established March 24 as the deadline for two telephone companies to suggest proposed rates for Extended Area Service (the metro telephone line) between Belle Plaine and the metropolitan area. Northwestern Bell and Central Telephone Company were the two companies to make estimates.

A spokesperson for the Belle Plaine Education Association (BPEA) conďŹ rmed that the association ďŹ led an application for mediation services with the State Board of Mediation.

The BPEA and the Belle Plaine School Board had been deep in negotiations for some months.

The price of self-service regular gasoline fell to below a dollar-a-gallon, and most gas operators were predicting a further decline in prices. In Belle Plaine, self-service regular gas was selling at 99.9, unleaded 105.9, and diesel at 103.9 at the Texaco station and at Skluzacek Oil Co. The prices for regular and unleaded were identical at Casey’s, which did not sell diesel. Prices were slightly higher at Hennen’s ICO, John’s Standard and Erv’s Sinclair.

Robert M. Graham, age 70, passed away Feb. 16. Mr. Graham was born in Jessenland Township to Michael and Mary (Mack) Graham. He married Veronica Trimbo on Nov. 27, 1937.

Olga F. Young, age 70, of Belle Plaine, passed away Feb. 16. Mrs. Young was born Oct. 18, 1915 in Washington Lake Township to Albert and Mary (Oelfke) Panning. She marred Edward Young at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Hamburg on May 29,1938.

It was National Future Farmers of America Week, and with the nation still gripped by a farm crisis, there was becoming more and more emphasis on offfarm employment within FFA, according to Belle Plaine vocational and agricultural teacher Joel Larsen. “In observing

graduates of the program, we are seeing fewer students going home to the farm and more going on to technical schools and colleges to get training in some area of agriculture,� Larsen said.

Laurie Wolpern, a two-time all-state volleyball hitter for Belle Plaine High School, committed herself to play college volleyball at the University of Wyoming after being vigorously wooed by a number of colleges at this end of the country. “I think it’s fantastic,â€? said Wolpern’s high school volleyball coach Donna Brinton Hawkins at a special ceremony that Wednesday morning in the ofďŹ ce of Superintendent of Schools Dr. John Bartholow.

Wolpern received a “total� scholarship.

The BPHS boys’ basketball team posted two wins that week, doubling up Shattuck 64-32 and routing Le Center 63-41. Brad Johnson had 15 points against Shattuck, while Paul Pudlitzke had 15 points and 14 rebounds against Le Center.

The BPHS girls’ basketball team split two games, defeating Jordan 59-38 and getting blasted by Mankato Loyola 73-45. Laurie Wolpern had 21 points in the win over Jordan, and against Loyola, became the ďŹ rst Belle Plaine girls’ player to score 1,000 points in her career.

She also had over 1,000 career rebounds.

The Tiger wrestling team took second place at the Region 4A, North Subsection Tournament at Norwood, giving defending champion Norwood a run for its money. In the individual tournament, three Tigers won championships – Jim Buesgens (119), Maury O’Brien (128) and Brian Stier (185). Losing tough ďŹ nal matches and ďŹ nishing second were Andy Fogarty (138), Tim Siegle (145) and Shawn Buesgens (167). Also qualifying for regions by taking third were Pat O’Brien (132), Pat Daly (155) and John Bergs (Hwt.).

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, I am going to hear Parker Palmer when he speaks in Belle Plaine at St. John Lutheran Church.

I have seen him on TV with Bill Moyers and on my radio with Krista Tippet speaking about his book �Healing the Heart of Democracy�. I have a copy of the book and am rereading it this week in anticipation of hearing him in person.

I underline books these days even my e-books. So I confess that so far all I have done is read my underlining. The reason I think you should also listen to Parker Palmer is the very last phrase I underlined on my ďŹ rst trip through the book.

Democracy is under stress in this years Presidential exercises. I believe in Democracy.

Palmer in this book reminds me of my place in this process. When I see Parker Palmer speak in Belle Plaine, I will be better equipped to participate in this election cycle as, in the words of Parker Palmer, “a citizen who cares about the common good.�

Larry Kiewel, Belle Plaine Dear Editor, It would be hard to miss all the energy and interest that has been generated by the nomination process in the Republican ďŹ eld of candidates this election cycle. I am pleased that there is such an abundance of wellqualiďŹ ed choices for voters, but I wonder how many people know how the process works in a caucus state like Minnesota as opposed to the process in a primary state.

Do you know how you can participate and vote in a caucus state?

Unlike a primary, where residents cast their ballots at a polling place, Minnesota is one of only 10 states that has a caucus system where like minded citizens gather with their neighbors at a local meeting place to discuss the candidates and try to persuade their neighbors to vote for the candidate they think is the best.

In addition to voting for a presidential candidate, we will discuss issues and vote on resolutions that may become part of the Republican Party platform.

We will also elect delegates to the upcoming county convention.The entire caucus takes about 2 hours, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. Who can participate and vote in the caucuses? State statute

202A.16 gives us the guidelines. First, you must be eligible to vote in the next general election. In addition the statute says: “Only those persons who are in agreement with the principles of the party as stated in the party’s constitution, and who either voted for or afďŹ liated with the party at the last state general election or intend to vote or afďŹ liate with the party at the next state general election, may vote at the precinct caucus.â€? You cannot participate at more than one party’s caucuses in any one year.

I personally like the caucus system because I believe the people who attend are some of the most informed and engaged voters. We learn a lot from each other through our discussions of issues and candidates.

If you identify with Republican Party principles and intend to vote Republican this coming November, I would personally like to invite you to attend the Minnesota caucuses on Tuesday, March 1st at 7:00. You can go to www.MNGOP.com to read the party platform for more information about Republican Party principles.

I want to stress, this will be your only opportunity to vote for a presidential candidate who will become our party’s nominee.

St. Thomas by: Loni Graham The next mass in St. Thomas is February 21 at 9 a.m. with Father James Burns.

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

Bruce and Cathy Halloran, Gary and Shirley Rutt, Jim and Mary Walker, and Bryan Guertin were among those who attended the annual Pioneer Power Banquet on Sunday at the American Legion on Sunday. Glenn Wondra and the Country Gentlemen band entertained. Glenn’s wife, Darlene, manages the kitchen and they served the traditional dinner of chicken, ham, mashed potatoes, dumplings and sauerkraut and fixings, only thing missing was the cake!

The Walkers took a two week, 2,000 plus mile road trip out to see Mary’s brother, Lyle, and some of his family in Ohio.

From there they drove to North Carolina and visited Mary’s daughter, Andrea, and her husband William in Cornelius and then up to Elon, North Carolina where granddaughter Maxlyn goes to college. When in Ohio and North Carolina, Jim visited with a few gas engine friends.

He also picked up a Williams 16’ stone grist mill to grind wheat and corn into flour at gas engine shows along with a few other items for his collection. He always reminds Mary, every time he buys something for his collection, that it is for her “401K�. Mary chuckles, she’s waiting for a

diamond to be hanging around one of those engines. Since being back, they’ve enjoyed the Montgomery KC fish fry and the Pioneer Power dinner/dance on Valentine’s day. Good to be home.

Guests at the Tom and Loni Graham home this weekend were Cole Vlasak of Moorhead accompanied by his friend Molly Francis of Eden Prairie.

Tyler Vlasak of Eden Prairie, Andy and Anna Baumgard of Buffalo, spent the weekend with their grandparents. Kevin, Cari, Katelyn and Madelyn Landwer of Mankato and Jodi Baumgard join them on Sunday as they gathered at the American Legion in Montgomery.

From the Archives: “Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sullivan have moved into the house previously occupied by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Sullivan (Jerry 2/28/1903-1993) (“Ret� 1904 -1992). Their son, Mr. and Mrs. Todd Sullivan, have moved on into the Sullivan home farm. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Sullivan are now residents at The Lutheran Home in Belle Plaine. They are both lifelong residents of this community: born, attended rural schools, grew to adulthood, married and raised a family of eight children here, and who now have many grandchildren.

Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan were truly an asset to our community....We wish all the Sullivan families happiness in their new locations.� BPH 1990 Bobby (2/12/1933-11/17/12) This is the calm before St. Patrick’s Day. Have a good one, folks.

Humor Corner Two ladies finally made their way in to Heaven, Helga: Well hi Lena!

Lena: Hi Helga, how did you die?

Helga: I froze to death.

Lena: How horrible.

Helga: It wasn’t so bad, after I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm and sleepy and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?

Lena: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected Ole of cheating, so I came home early one night to catch him in the act. But instead found him in the den by himself watching T.V. Helga: So what happened?

Lena: I was so sure there was another woman in the house I started running all over the house searching for her. I ran to the attic, the basement, searched every closet and underneath the beds. I finally became so exhausted I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.

Helga: Well Lena, too bad you didn’t look in the freezer we’d both still be alive.

Wrestling (continued from page 12) the meet but he met Deshawn Carter, who scored a big 7-5 decision. “Hey, I got to give it up to Deshawn as he came up big for us during the Section 2AA championship meet last year against New Prague when he beat Stevie Kvam,� states Ripley. “He wrestled a really good match here and it was every bit as important and exciting.�

With the team score now 2217 Scott West, #4-rated Tyler Buesgens took care of business as well as he secured a ďŹ rstperiod pin of Logan Scholla with a reverse headlock that put Scott West up 28-17. Waconia would then cut into that lead by winning the next two matches as Jed Waligoski scored an 8-2 decision over Calvin Menke at 195 pounds and Bobby Fleming got a 3-1 victory over Tyler Grieves at 220 pounds.

Scott West now held a 28-23 lead as the meet went to heavyweight, and that is where Josiah Schatz closed the deal as he powered over Waconia’s Jake Hawkins with a half-nelson that brought the ensuing referee pin fall call at 1:10 of the ďŹ rst period, capping a 34-23 win for the Panthers.

As good as the Panthers’ performance was against Waconia, it still did not put them into the state tournament because they now had to follow it up with a winning performance over the hometown Hutchinson Tigers, a team that had beaten Scott West 34-26 on Dec. 3 in the same gym that they were now in for the section championship. The two teams had met in the 2014 section championship in Glencoe, with Scott West winning the title 36-22. “We told our wrestlers that the loss early in the year to Hutchinson did not have to deďŹ ne their season but should be a deďŹ ning moment of their season,â€? recalls Ripley. “They did respond to that loss by putting in some good work thereafter and it translated to scoring a big win over New Prague, a top 10 ďŹ nish at the Christmas Tournament and then winning the Rumble on the Red Championships up in Fargo.â€?

Scott West jumped out to an 18-0 team lead behind Tyler Shackle’s 9-3 decision over Tucker Gifferson at 106 pounds, which was followed by a pair of second-period pins as Justin Stauffacher ran Tate Card to his back with a bar arm at 113 pounds and Parker Huss nailed Dasin Mateski to his back with a match-ending headlock at 120 pounds. No. 2-rated Jackson Stauffacher completed the four-win start for the Panthers as he scored a 6-5 win over Hutchinson’s #4-rated Brock Luthens.

After Carter Piche dropped a 3-1 match to Hutchinson’s Dylan Pundsack at 132 pounds, Jack Fogarty bettered Hutchin-

son’s Cody Anderson 8-5. Anderson had beaten Fogarty 5-2 in December.

The Panthers stayed on the prowl as Ryan Siegle used seven take downs to beat Hutchinson’s Jordan Stenzel 16-7. Ben Kelvington then pinned Marcus Smahel at 57 seconds of the ďŹ rst period to give Scott West a commanding 31-3 lead.

Hutchinson, to its credit, fought back with three wins that started with a Logan Wadsworth ďŹ rst-period headlock pin of Dylan Johnson at 160 pounds and ending with Christian Kurth’s ďŹ rst-period cradle pin of Tyler Buesgens at 182, while there was also a Josh Filk 6-2 win over Deshawn Carter at 170 pounds sandwiched in the middle of those two Tiger pins.

With the score now standing at 31-18 in favor of Scott West, Panther Calvin Menke came to the mat ready to ďŹ ght as he scored an opening-period take down with a nice leg attack on the Tigers #6-rated Chandler Kurth in their match at 195 pounds. After scoring a secondperiod escape to take a 3-1 lead into the third period, Menke would win out in a urry of action, as from his knees, he lifted and dropped Kurth to his back where he held him for the ensuing pin fall call at 5:51 of the third.

Menke’s pin would highlight and secure Scott West’s 16th section team championship as it now had an insurmountable 37-18 lead Tyler Grieves lost a hardfought 2-1 match to Hutchinson’s #5-rated Tyler Stenzel before Josiah Schatz ended the night of wrestling by securing a second-period pin of Nathan Dettman at heavyweight to make it a 43-21 Scott West victory.

Jordan 53, Tigers 51 The Tigers led through most of the ďŹ rst half and remained within striking distance through the entire second half but were not able to get a couple of potential lead-changing or tying baskets to fall during the ďŹ nal couple of minutes of a two-point loss at Jordan last Tuesday night. The game was tied 22-22 at halftime. “We were very good defensively this game,â€? Belle Plaine coach Randy Carlson said. “I thought Schuyler Sterk did a great job inside negating their size advantage and keeping them out of the paint. Paige Narveson had a great offensive game and started to show some other ways that she can score.

Elizabeth Johnson did a great job of attacking their pressure and getting the ball to our shooters. Alissa Schultz had a good overall game. We battled the whole game against a good team in a crowded gym.�

Paige Narveson had a gamehigh 22 points. No one else on either team reached double

ďŹ gures. Rounding out the scoring for the Tigers were Ireland Lambrecht (9), Alissa Schultz (8), Elizabeth Johnson (8), Alexa Lenz (2) and Schuyler Sterk (2). Sterk had a team-high nine rebounds and Johnson had three assists.

Mayer Luth. 62, Tigers 35 This was not one of those games the Tigers were more competitive in and the scoreboard showed Thursday night in Mayer. “They (Mayer Lutheran) were just better than us tonight,�

Carlson said. “They’re a very patient team with a lot of weapons. As the game wore on, our defense improved but they are very balanced and have a lot of ways to score and eventually broke us down. All these things add up to a loss, but to our kids’ credit, they did not give up and kept playing.�

Narveson was again the only Tiger in double ďŹ gures with 12 points. Schultz chipped in six and Johnson ďŹ ve. Lambrecht added four points, while Sterk, Alexa Lenz, Lily Vinkemeier and Taylor Mullen each had two.

It is up to the individual to decide when to begin receiving Social Security beneďŹ ts. A person can take a reduced beneďŹ t as early as age 62. Or, a former employee can claim a full beneďŹ t at what the Social Security Administration considers to be full retirement age, which, for example, is 66 for anyone born between 1943 and 1954. Otherwise, a person can wait until age 70 for yet a larger beneďŹ t. Bear in mind that, once you elect to receive a reduced beneďŹ t, you remain at that level for the rest of your life (with normal cost-of-living increases). The longer you are apt to live, the more you beneďŹ t from waiting for the larger check.

The current generation of retirees is more likely than the last generation to have active retirement years ďŹ lled with a mix of travel, sports, and education.

How will you spend your retirement years, and how can you fund those years?

Social Security may ďŹ ll only a limited amount of your ďŹ nancial demands.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Scott West (continued from page 1)

3 seed Watertown-Mayer. Like Waconia, Hutchinson had beaten Scott West during the regular season, that coming on Dec. 3 by a 34-26 count. Again, Scott West reversed the tables and then some, defeating the Tigers 43-21, which was a 30-point turnaround from Dec. 3.

Details of Scott West’s drive to the section championship can be found on page 12 under “Section 2AA Tournament Recap.”

Scott West, 15-5 on the season, will return to the Minnesota State High School Class 2A Team Tournament for the eighth time in nine years next Thursday (Feb. 25) at Xcel Energy Center in downtown St. Paul. The Panthers are a No. 4 seed and will take on No. 5 seed Wabasso, which has a record of 30-2.

Scott West, a combination of wrestlers from Belle Plaine and Jordan high schools, has now qualified as a team for state 16 times in its 26-year history.

For the fifth year in a row, next week’s state team tournament will take place in one day (Thursday). The top five teams have been seeded 1 through 5.

Wabasso received the fifth seed and the other three teams randomly drew to determine which of the top three-seeded teams they will face in the quarterfinals. Those match ups and the team tournament schedule can be found at the end of this article.

Kasson-Mantorville, which is ranked No. 1 in the state in Class 2A and is the No. 1 seed, blasted previously No. 3-ranked Albert Lea 44-6 in the Section 1AA championship and has not lost a dual this season (22-0). The KoMets are a favorite to keep that streak alive next week even though they are on a collision course with 11time defending state champion and No. 2 seed Simley, which breezed to its second state title in a row last year. The Spartans’ record this season is 25-6.

Foley, the No. 3 seed, edged Scott West 30-28 at the Forest Lake Duals on Jan. 23. The Falcons are 30-1 this season.

The other teams competing Thursday and their records will be Totino-Grace (18-4), Perham (24-6) and Mora (24-4).

Scott West currently has two wrestlers ranked No. 2 in the

state in Class 2A in their respective weight classes – sophomore Jackson Stauffacher (126) and senior Ben Kelvington (145).

Other ranked individuals for Scott West include junior Parker Huss (third at 120), sophomore Tyler Buesgens (fourth at 182), senior Josiah Schatz (fifth at heavyweight) and sophomore Tyler Shackle (eighth at 106). The Panthers graduated two state champions from last year’s team – David Flynn and Andrew Fogarty.

As a team, Scott West has placed everywhere but first in its previous 15 state tournament appearances. Its highest finishes were second in 2005, 2011, 2012 and 2014, and third in 2004, 2008 and 2015. The Panthers were fourth in 2000, fifth in 1996, 2003 and 2009, and sixth in 2006 and 2010. Scott West did not place its first two years in the tournament (1994 and 1995).

Next up for the Panthers is this week’s Section 2AA Individual Tournament at Mankato East High School, where the top two wrestlers from each weight class will advance to the state individual tournament.

The tournament begins Friday evening and resumes Saturday morning. The state Class 2A individual tournament will take place next Friday and Saturday (Feb. 26-27) at Xcel Energy Center.
