B.P.’s New AD Likes a ‘Unique’ Council Okays Final Plans, Opportunity at School, City Authorizes Advertisement New Activities of Bids for Overpass Project Director Ran New Ulm Programs for Four Years

The new AD (activities director) at Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School was attracted to the job by its seemingly oneof-its-kind job description. This week, Chad Eischens is getting started. AD – activities director – is a blend of high school activities director and Belle Plaine School District Community Education activities director. It is a newly-created position, one triggered by former Community Education Director Nelson Ladd’s retirement last month. Mindy (Sparby) Chevalier’s promotion to assistant principal at the junior-senior high school cleared the way for Eischens’ hiring.. Eischens began his new job last Wednesday (July 1). He’ll initially oversee high school activities and Belle Plaine School District Community Education activities programs. The city is paying 30 percent of Eischens’ $70,000 salary for the first year, the school district the remaining 70 percent. Eischens’ salary is scheduled to increase to $78,950 the second year after he successfully completes the requirements needed to oversee Belle Plaine Community Education’s academic and childcare programming. Eichens, 41, comes to Belle Plaine from New Ulm High School where he has served as its activities director for the past four years. He was attracted by a job blending city recreation and school activities programming. “I thought it was an attractive and unique position,” he said. “I think Belle Plaine is a wellpoised, well-positioned as a school district.” Other school districts – like North Branch, WatervilleElysian-Morristown, and New London-Spicer -- and cities use

Issue Passes by 3-2 Vote

by Dan Ruud It was a short agenda Monday night but one in which a big step was taken toward Belle Plaine’s next major project as the city council voted 3-2 to approve the final plans and authorize the advertisement of bids for the Enterprise Drive extension and overpass project. Accounting for the two no votes were Paul Chard and Gary Trost, who throughout most of the planning process have maintained that the bridge

should be constructed on a straight line with County Road 3/Meridian Street rather than a short distance down the southbound lane of Highway 169 connecting with an extended Enterprise Drive (see accompanying map). Chard and Trost reiterated that Monday night just before the vote was taken. Mayor Mike Pingalore and fellow council members Cary Coop and Scott Schneider voted yes. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has indicated in the past that Chard’s and Trost’s preferred plan would not be approved by the agency in that the existing interchange in Belle Plaine is not spaced far

enough from County Road 3. Pingalore has also pointed out that a bridge straight on with County Road 3/Meridian Street and a full interchange would be far more costly. City Engineer Joe Duncan reported that the estimated cost of construction for the approved plan is $4.9 million. The total cost of the project, including right-of-way acquisition, engineering fees and construction, etc., will bring the total cost to over $7 million. Most of that, minus about a combined $1.6 million from the state and the

Chad Eischens is Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School’s new activities director. He’ll also oversee recreation programs run through Belle Plaine Schools Community Education and the city. a similar arrangement. “You use what fits your school district,” Chevalier said. Belle Plaine Mayor Mike Pingalore believes the city will benefit from Eischens’ work with school athletics. The City of Belle Plaine offers youth sports through the Belle Plaine School District’s Community Education department. “Chad’s experience as it relates to the AD portion of this new dual position will be very transferable. His tenure in the athletic director role in New Ulm will give him the ability to transition with the junior/ senior high school coaches and staff,” Pingalore said. “I have a few concerns as it pertains to the Community Ed. role for he does not have any experience. I do, however, believe that his experience with organized events will make for a great experience for our community and hope he will give our programs a new, fresh look.”

Ready to Go

Eischens will enjoy the benefit of Chevalier’s organization. Schedules for the 2015-16 school year are established and coaching assignments filled. Eischens is looking forward to the stability and competitiveness of the Minnesota River Conference. New Ulm is part of the Big South Conference. Eischens knows some of the other activities directors in the MRC. New Ulm had begun competing against Jordan, Sibley East and Tri-City United in some junior and senior high sports. “It helps when you know who to call. Plus, Mindy’s next door and Dan (MRC Executive Director Dan Gardner) are available. They’re great resources.” The challenge for Eischens, besides getting established in

Demolished Ken Theis and Sons Excavating demolished the former Front Porch Photography house at 123 West Main Street Tuesday morning. Last fall, the council awarded the project to Theis for the demolition and site restoration at a cost of $7,652. The site, which is owned by the city, will be reserved for the future expansion of the adjacent public library building. The city bought the house in July of 2006 from Mike Daly. At one time, it housed a couple of dentist offices, including at one time Dr. Gene O’Brien’s. It was also a residence for a number of years. Front Porch Photography, operated by Toni Fogarty, relocated to Kingsway Retirement Living in 2013.

by Susan Carter Spectators hear a low and looming rumble. They turn their heads toward the showground as powerful teams surge into the arena pulling historic replicas of freight wagons. The crowd can literally feel the earthquake as the massive hitches pass by. These impressive sights and sounds signal the start of draft horse competition at the Scott County Fair in Jordan, one of the largest county fair draft horse shows in North America. What started as a small, respectable draft horse show in Jordan blossomed into an event to rival the most prestigious shows in the nation. With three horse barns, an ample staging area for warm up, halter and hitch rings, and a convenient on-site trailer parking area, the Scott County fairgrounds attract and accommodate an international representation of draft horse exhibitors. This all-inclusive annual event

receives regular participation from the four major draft horse breeds: Belgians, Clydesdales, Shires and Percherons. More than 250 of North America’s top draft horses gathered for the 2014 show, proudly representing a broad range of recurring participants from Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah and Wisconsin, as well as Manitoba, Canada. As Scott County celebrates its 100th fair in July 2015, the draft horse show promises to be a highlight for exhibitors and spectators alike. If You Built It The Scott County Fair started in 1915 and was considered a success with more than 350 agricultural entries. The following year, the number of exhibits increased by nearly fivefold. Space was added to accommodate the growth and the fair had made its mark on the community as “the place to be.” By year-end of 1941, the Scott County Fair was debt-free, with each succeeding year breaking new attendance records. In the late 1940s, the event was ex-

tended from three to four days, and finally to its current fiveday span. The fair had hosted a small draft horse show for many years, yet every successful show needs dedicated enthusiasts to champion its growth; the Scott County Fair had a family

B.P. Man, Crew Sets Luminaries for Scott County Relay for Life

Ryan Hamen has not seen the luminary lighting ceremony at the Scott County Relay for Life. He’s never seen the impact thousands of glowing luminaries have on the people who help raise money toward the fight against cancer. “I’d really like to see it. I should do that,” Hamen said last week. But without Hamen and hundreds of volunteers like him, there wouldn’t be a luminary lighting ceremony. He and a few dozen volunteers will help prepare over 1,000 luminaries for lighting after dusk Friday night (July 10) at the annual Scott County Relay for Life. The annual American Cancer Society Relay will be held at Vaughan Field on the Shakopee West Junior High School campus (200 10th Ave. E). The event begins at 5 p.m. with a survivor’s dinner and runs through 2 a.m. Saturday (July 11). The opening ceremony and survivor’s lap begins at 6:30 p.m. An 11-year resident of Belle Plaine, Hamen, 43, and a crew of students from Jordan Community Education will be at the Shakopee junior high school Friday morning. He’s been bringing a group of students to Shakopee for five years. They’ll work for a few hours filling decorated white paper bags with sand and placing candles in them in preparation for the ceremony. The luminary ceremony honors people who are fighting cancer and remembers those who lost the fight. People can purchase the bags from Scott County Relay for Life volunteers or at the event itself. “When you see the white bags around the track (before sunset) and the people walking around looking at them (before the candles are lighted), it’s spiritually uplifting,” he said. The crew of students is part of Jordan School District Community Education’s Summer of Service program. Hamen leads the program. During the school year, he teaches and coaches swimming in the Farmington School District. He and his wife moved to Belle Plaine because it was a good midpoint. Hamen grew up in Mahtomedi. His wife worked in Mankato. In the Jordan Community Education program, Hamen allows students to choose from a variety of programs that benefit the community. One of the programs they chose was filling lu-

For the fifth consecutive year, Belle Plaine’s Ryan Hamen will lead a crew of students to Shakopee Junior High West Friday morning to fill luminary bags for the Scott County Relay for Life. The Relay for Life starts Friday (July 10), 6:30 p.m. The Taste of Minnesota made a successful return to the Carver County Fairgrounds last week (July 2-5). The annual event featured plenty of food vendors and musical talent that included country singer Phil Vassar (below), Lamont Cranston, Gear Daddies, the Chris Hawkey Band minaries for Relay for Life. and Foghat. The students will likely fill between 300 and 400 of the 1,800 luminaries that will be placed around the quarter-mile track American Cancer Society and in the bleachers.

Public Invited to Help Local Band Celebrate Release of CD Two Belle Plaine musicians have announced they plan to hold a coming out party for their debut CD of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horseplay,â&#x20AC;? which is also the title of their band, on Saturday, July 11 at the Winders family barn. Jack Winders and Jayden Howie, both of whom graduated from Belle Plaine High School in 2013, wrote or cowrote the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 original songs. They describe their music as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americana or American Rock.â&#x20AC;? Winders and Howie founded Horseplay in 2012, at which time they were joined in the band by former members and fellow BPHS students Aaron Bigaouette and Luke Dandurand. For four years, the foursome performed many gigs at local bars, Bar-B-Q Days, as well as food shelf fund-raisers at the Belle Plaine Performing Arts Center.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Belle Plaine High School Principal Richard Clymer, who had taught and been an administrator in the Belle Plaine District since 1974, was resigning effective July 2. He was leaving to become an assistant principal at Hastings. Clymer was a history teacher and wrestling coach at BPHS before becoming principal. Newly-elected Belle Plaine School Board member Ervin Malin was officially seated at a meeting of the board that Monday night. In the reorganizational meeting, Roger Delgehausen became board chairman, succeeding Dr. Roger Hallgren, who did not seek reelection. The board also voted to keep their pay the same – $400 annually and $20 for attendance at a special meeting. The Belle Plaine School Board that Monday night adopted a new, tough policy on school attendance. The new policy, which would go into effect in the fall, stated that students who missed more than 15 days of class per semester would fail that class. BPHS Principal Richard Clymer had reported that: “It is my feeling that some students and their parents are abusing our current attendance policy. This is being done by parents who are excusing students for apparently any reason and as often as the student requests the parent to do so.” Construction on a new fire hall in Belle Plaine was expected to get underway in a few months. What to do with the old fire hall became the subject of an advisory committee that was formed. It was decided to contact local contractors for opinions on the condition of the 80- by 50-foot, 4,000-square-foot building and whether it could be enlarged for other uses. The warm temperatures and lack of moisture was threatening crops in the area and causing low pressure for the city’s water system. Public Works Superintendent Pat Fogarty ordered an odd-even sprinkling ban until some substantial rainfall was received. Larry Johnson was stumping the state with State Agricultural Commissioner Jim Nichols expressing his delight with the recent decision of the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce the lead in gasoline. Johnson, who farmed six miles north of Belle Plaine, and members of the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, which he headed, wanted to replace the lead in gasoline with a blend of 10 percent ethanol fuel manufactured from corn. Helen C. Halloran, 82, passed away at the Belle Plaine Lutheran Home on July 3. Mrs. Halloran was born on Dec. 25, 1902 in Derrynane Township to John and Catherine (O’Leary) Moore. She married John D. Halloran on Nov. 16, 1926 at St. Thomas. She lived all her life in Derrynane Township. Bertha Ische, 92, of Belle Plaine, passed away July 18 at the Belle Plaine Lutheran Home. She was born Sept. 20, 1982 in Norwood to Carl and Bertha (Schwartz) Segler. She attended rural schools. She married Louis Lieske on Oct. 12, 1911. The couple farmed in the Norwood-Cologne area until 1917, when they moved to Belle Plaine. Murrell Simcox, 67, of rural Belle Plaine, passed away at his home on July 8. He was born on April 5, 1918 in Blakeley Township to Wesley and Clara (Woestehoff) Simcox and married Minnie Dahlke on Nov. 3, 1939 in Belle Plaine. He farmed in Blakeley Township all his life. The Belle Plaine town baseball team raised its record in the Carver Central League to 11-6 by defeating Winsted 15-2 and Victoria 7-5. Al Hentges had

Coin Finder Fifteen-year-old Tony Hartman showed the spot where he found the 1985 Bar-B-Q Days treasure coin at a location that once had a grain conveyor built on it. It was placed in an old culvert near a ravine north of the intersection of North Meridian and Forest streets.

four hits and scored four runs against Winsted, and Tom Miller homered against Victoria. Many former Tiger town team baseball players were expected that coming Sunday for an oldtimers game against a senior team representing the Jordan Brewers. Players from the 1930s through the ‘70s would once again represent Belle Plaine in an afternoon of fun and nostalgia.

60 Years Ago (1955)

The heaviest rainfall in a number of years deluged the Belle Plaine area. Local gauges registered 4 3/4 and 5 inches plus. Wind was also an element in the storm, and in some sections, chiefly north of town, it flattened uncut grain. The severest wind damage was near Gotha, where the large barn on the Charles Erickson farm was crushed. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Heiland were notified that their son, John F. Heiland, who had been killed in a plane crash over the Gulf of Mexico, was posthumously promoted to the rank of Marine Captain. Phylis Schmidt, daughter of Mrs. Henrietta Schmidt of Belle Plaine, and John Renne, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Renne of Carver County, were married at St. John’s Catholic Church, Sibley County. Rev. Father Roney officiated. Our community was shocked to learn of the death of Victor Duane, who passed away at the Miller hospital that Sunday morning after a short illness. The remains were brought here and laid in state at his home. The funeral was held from St. Thomas Church. Rev. Father Foy officiated at a requiem mass. Rev. John C. Ward, pastor at Assumption Church for the past year, was transferred to the Church of Our Lady Monarch in Manannah. Rev. W. Leander from the Church of St. Mary in St. Paul became the new pastor at Assumption. The centennial of Jessenland parish was celebrated that Sunday with Father Guillemette saying three masses. New Prague made ready for its centennial celebration. Attorney John Fitzgerald was named general chairman. Evelyn Oldenburg, daughter of Arnold and Minna Oldenburg, died at the age of 40. Evelyn had been handicapped from polio when she was an infant. Miss Marjorie Sauter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Darwin Goetz of Cologne, and Donald Olson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Olson of East Union, were joined in wedlock at the East Union Lutheran Church.

90 Years Ago (1925)

Men and horses were finding it a hot season in the grain and hay fields, continuing temperatures in the upper 90s. Omaha railroad was seeking passenger business with cut rates. It was running Sunday excursion trains Belle Plaine to Twin Cities for $1.25 round trip; $7.50 round trip Twin Cities to Chicago for weekend excursions. Frank Weiss was setting up in a big way in road work since moving from Belle Plaine to Le Center, taking on that summer’s large county contracts. The John Dunn farm of 160 acres at Assumption was reported sold to Wesley Bipes for $105 an acre. Mrs. Bess Wilson was appointed by the governor a member of the board of regents of the University for a six-year term. Mrs. Wilson was in former years a member of the Belle Plaine school faculty. Mr. and Mrs. Tony Bloedel of Sibley, Iowa, were renewing old acquaintances. Tony was still a keen baseball fan, a player on the famed Red Caps of the 1890s. Miss Katherine Krekelberg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Krekelberg, and Arthur J. Bohen were married. Attendants were Miss Lillian Krekelberg and Urban Krekelberg. Union Hill relatives of the Hoffman family went to Sioux City upon receiving word of the death of Mrs. Frank Hoffman, a Sioux City girl. When William O’Brien purchased the O’Leary farm of 160 acres, it gave him a total of 400 acres. That week he added the Richard Donovan 120 acres to his holdings to give him 520 acres. Grain cutting was well underway. The wheat crop was considered a good, average crop. Assumption families turned out for a community picnic at the lake in Waconia. Ed Eckert’s baseball team took on Hopkins and won as usual. The team representing Belle Plaine that season was almost entirely semipro.

120 Years Ago (1895)

Several extra men were required at the railroad station to take care of all the freight business. Herman Lueders started in as clerk at Statton’s drug store. The threshing machines reported rye doing 30 bushels to the acre, barley 55 bushels, and the wheat that wasn’t winter killed expected to go 30 bushels. Fishing parties to Spring Lake meant camping parties for two to three days.

Met Council Advisory Board Awards Funding to Area Projects Area road and trail projects recently received large funding commitments from the state. In Scott County, the Metropolitan Council’s Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) committed $7 million to the construction of a future interchange at the intersection of highways 169 and 41 in Louisville Township between 20172019. The approximately $22 million project is a priority project for Scott County and is likely the first benefactor of revenue generated by the county’s new ½-percent local option sales tax. The TAB also recently allocated $7 million toward expansion of Highway 41 between

Highway 212 and Pioneer Trail in Chaska. The $10 million project includes expansion of the two-lane highway to four lanes and improvements to the intersection of Highway 41 at Hundertmark Road and 41 at Pioneer Trail. The advisory board also committed allocations of $5.6 million toward the expansion of the intersection of Highway 13 and County Road 13 on the Savage/ Prior Lake border. It awarded approximately $1.4 million to improve sections of the Carver County Regional Trail system and $794,400 to Scott County’s traffic management system during 2017-19.

Ridgeview Enjoys Successful Annual Golf & Taste Event More than $1 million was raised at the 28th Annual Ridgeview Foundation Golf & Taste Celebration, June 24 at Island View Golf Club in Waconia. All proceeds will support the Innovation for Generations campaign, Ridgeview Foundation’s effort to help renovate Ridgeview Medical Center’s nearly 50-year-old medical/ surgical wing and to aid in the expansion of critical services at the hospital in Waconia. It is one of several area hospitals serving the Belle Plaine area. The celebration included golf, bridge and bunco tournaments, live music, hors d’oeuvres and beverages from area restaurants and establishments, and a buffet dinner. The day-long event that included more than 150 volunteers, 500 guests and 250 golfers. “Thanks to the significant generosity of so many people, and contributions of our volunteers and community members, our Golf & Taste Celebration

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, On July 10th the Relay For Life of Scott County will be held at Vaughan Field at Shakopee West Junior High. This is the 18th year for our event – We have raised over 2.5 million dollars for the American Cancer Society in the fight against cancer and want to continue this great work! New this year are the hours – the event will be from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Opening ceremony will be at 6:30. There is no better place to be to help finish the fight against this horrible disease called CANCER! Again this year we are asking for Scott County’s help in collecting items for the Hope Lodge, they are in need of grab bags which consist of bottles of water and snacks such as granola bars. Bringing awareness to mission, advocacy and dducation is just one of the things that you will find stimulating about this event. Donation boxes will be at each registration tents. Let’s go above and beyond what was raised last year!! The Relay For Life of Scott County is exciting and at times breathtaking: from the speakers at the opening and luminaria ceremony to the lighting of the luminaries at 9:45 as well as the Memorial Video that plays all night long! Please join me and other survivors, caregivers and participants who know that Together We Can Find a Cure and Finish the Fight! Walk the track, visit with friends (you're sure to find someone you know there) and enjoy an evening as we raise money so no one has to hear – “You have Cancer” again! Brenda Stocker Relay For Life of Scott County Publicity Chair

Shakopee EDA OKs Loan for New Irish Restaurant Shakopee’s Economic Development Authority (EDA) recently OK’d a $100,000 loan to help finance a $3.1 million Irish restaurant downtown. The restaurant will be known as O’Brien’s Public House. The loan is for 25 years, five years longer than originally proposed. EDA loans are typically limited to $25,000. The city OK’d a larger loan because of the scope of the proposed restaurant project. The money will be used to improve the exterior of the exist-

ing buildings – masonry, landscaping, shingles, gutters and awnings, the Shakopee Valley News recently reported. Investors in O’Brien’s Public House have acquired five properties at the intersection of Spencer Street and First Avenue in downtown Shakopee. They hope to have the new restaurant open in November. Previously, the Shakopee EDA has only made one $100,000 loan to help repair the crumbling façade of Eagle Pet Center in downtown Shakopee.

Man to Spend Four Months in County Jail for Meth Possession A Belle Plaine man who pleaded guilty to drug possession will spend the next four-plus months in the Scott County Jail. Scott County District Court Judge Christian Wilton accepted Barry Russell Wolters guilty plea to fifth-degree possession of methamphetamine June 29. The felony conviction carries a 185-day sentence in the county jail. Wolters will spend the next 125 days in jail since he’s already served 55 days. He will spend the next five years on probation. The terms of his probation include no alcohol or controlled substance use, supplying a DNA sample and remaining law abiding. Wolters will also be subjected to random testing for chemical use. In September, Wolters was charged after police arrested him and found meth as well as plastic bags containing residue of the drug and syringes. Scott County District Court Judge Rex Stacey set Wolters’ bail at $100,000. Wolters was arrested Sept. 27 after a man on the 1000 block of East Enterprise Drive reported Wolters had stolen his vehicle. The criminal complaint said

police determined the man’s daughter allowed Wolters to borrow the vehicle. Police found Wolters carrying a digital scale, a plastic bag contained several smaller plastic bags. A police canine searched the interior of the vehicle. The dog hit on a locked safe containing the alleged illegal drugs and paraphernalia. Wolters has previous convictions for felony-level drug possession – April 2012 in Scott County, January 2010 in Olmsted County, and two convictions dating back to May 2007 in Scott County.

St. Thomas by: Loni Graham Upcoming Masses at St. Thomas are Saturday, July 11, and Saturday, August 15 all at 5 p.m. These masses will be officiated by Father Roger Hessian. Fr. James Burns will have Mass here on Saturday July 25 at 4 p.m. Masses at St. Anne’s in Le Sueur are scheduled on Saturdays at 5:15 p.m., Sundays at 8 and 10:30 a.m. Father Andrew Stueve, 42 years old, graduated from Buffalo High School in 1991 and received his Associates Degree in Accounting in 1994. The new man of the cloth at St. Anne’s in Le Sueur was in Accounting for 10 years and owned his own home for four years. In 2008, he graduated from St. John Vianney College Seminary and was ordained a Priest in 2013 from St. Paul Seminary, both on campus of the University of St. Thomas. Father Stueve was the associate Pastor from 2013-2015 at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church in Medina. His parents, Bernie and Kay, reside in Hanover, Minnesota. Father has three brothers, one sister, five nephews and two nieces. Some of his hobbies include, old music, wonder if he’s found KCHK yet? He likes old movies, genealogy, history, family and the outdoors. St. Thomas is a mission church of St. Anne’s. We, the St.Thomas parish, welcome and look forward to getting to know our new main pastor. Michael Modriefsky, Jr. (we called him “Junior”) passed away Thursday, July 2, 2015 at Mala Strana Nursing Home in New Prague. Mike was the son of Michael Sr. and Helen Meger Modriefsky. Their home was located on the northwest side of the St. Thomas Lake in the St. Thomas. Mike Jr. and Donna were married in 1975 at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Montgomery. Funeral services were held July 6 at the Bruzek Funeral Home in New Prague with visitation before the ser-

Union Hill

vice. Burial was on the western side of the Czech National Cemetery in New Prague. Junior and his siblings rode the Le Sueur school bus route with us through the St. Thomas area. Our sympathies to Donna, Leo, and his siblings Diane, Janet, Gladys and Gladys’s twin brother Eugene. Their parents, Mike Sr. and Helen, rest among our dearly departed here in St. Thomas. Dick O’Connell and Tom Connelly assisted Juniors’s nephews in bearing the casket. Tommy Shaughnessy, Aggie Gill, Gloria Simonette, Fran Tiegs, and Loni Graham all St. Thomas grown, attended the funeral sevices. The third Annual Pioneer Power Tractor Pull was held Sunday and enjoyed by many St. Thomas folks. Max Sullivan and Milt Lowe attended the wedding of Milt’s grandson Joe Hammack and Beatrice Thuerkoff on Saturday, July 4. The garden wedding was performed in Coon Rapids at the home of Dan Hammack, Joe’s dad. Not St. Thomas but: After reading “Dodd Road: The Story of a Frontier Highway,” by Janice O. Gawtry, Tom and Loni decided this 4th of July, to tour the Dodd Road, an old military frontier highway from St. Peter through Kilkenny, Hazelwood, Lakeville and Rosemount, through West St. Paul, where it came to an uneventful end on Baker Street near downtown St. Paul. Dodd Road, was made by William B. Dodd and crew, to carry soldiers and supplies after the Traverse De Sioux Treaty was signed in 1851. The road was built in 1853. This weekend it took us 128 miles in 4.5 hours, some parts of Dodd Road were on major highways to the original 24 foot-wide gravel roads on winding hills. We stopped to visit Mary B. McGillen in Kilkenny, Theresa Shea in Hazelwood, and Dale Pexa, Sr. in Lakeville. Found the route interesting to Lakeville, after that, it was just city streets.

Home Repair Loans and Grants With warmer weather upon us, USDA Rural Development is gearing up to help local homeowners finance home improvements through low-interest loans and grants. “Now is a good time for homeowners to evaluate the need for necessary repairs or replacement of items such as a roof, electrical, plumbing and siding,” said Tom Traetow, Area Specialist for Rural Development’s Southeast Area. “Energy efficiency improvements through replacing windows and insulation also qualify. Funds can also be used to replace a furnace, sanitary disposal system and to make homes handicap accessible.” Traetow said applicants must own and occupy the home, and their income may not exceed guidelines established by county and household size. Income limits vary by county and average $25,000 for a oneperson household and $28,500 for two-person household in Southeastern Minnesota. Income limits increase for larger sized households. Traetow rec-

ommends checking with the local USDA Rural Development office for income limits in your county. Applicants must also have an acceptable credit history, show repayment ability, be unable to afford a conventional loan and live in a community with a population of 20,000 or fewer. Faribault, Northfield, and Owatonna are eligible for the program as they are currently “grandfathered” in. Grants are limited to elderly homeowners over the age of 62, and can only be used to remove health or safety hazards or remodel dwellings to make them accessible to household members with disabilities. The maximum grant is $7,500. For assistance in the following counties: Scott, Blue Earth, Dakota, Dodge, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Le Sueur, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, Waseca and Winona, contact the USDA, Rural Development office at 1810 30th St, NW #3, Faribault, MN 55021.

New Prague I-Park Zoning Advances Toward City OK New Prague’s plan for an industrial park to diversify the city’s tax base continues to move through the municipal approval process. The city’s planning commission recently recommended the rezoning of the land from single-family residential to industrial uses. The New Prague City Council was set to preliminarily consider the proposal Monday (July 6). Final approval is expected at the council’s July 20 meeting. The New Prague Economic Development Authority (EDA) bought 23.52 acres on the west side of the city for $1.45 million and began the process of annexing it from Helena Township into the city. The state OK’d the annexation June 1. The rezoning is necessitated by the city’s practice of assigning a residential zoning designation to land annexed into the city, the New Prague Times recently reported. New Prague’s plan is to assign the land a lightindustrial zoning district. The light-industrial zoning district permits data centers and other light-industrial uses. The designation eschews uses considered smelly, loud or includes heavy manufacturing. The city’s expectation, based on plans created in 2011, were that the land would be carved into two-acre lots complemented by streets, trails and sidewalks.

Harvest Heartland at 1-800365-0270 and leave a message that includes your name, phone number and the best time to return the call. A NAPS representative will contact you to assist in completing an application, check program eligibility and provide additional information.

Two People Injured in Monday Crash on Hwy. 169 in Le Sueur Two people were injured when a semi truck heading south on Highway 169 in Le Sueur crashed into a passenger vehicle as it crossed the highway early Monday morning. The crash at the intersection of Highway 169 and Cambria Avenue/Doppy Lane was reported just after 5 a.m. It occurred, according to the Minnesota State Patrol, when a westbound Kia Sedona driven by Thomas Burns of St. Peter crossed the two southbound lanes of Highway 169. Burns’ vehicle was struck by a Peterbuilt semi

driven by Randall Oestreich of Marshfield, Wis. Oestreich tried to avoid the passenger vehicle and jackknifed the semi he was driving. A second truck also southbound on the highway, driven by Michelle Hague of New Prague, also crashed into the Kia Sedona. Both Burns and Hague suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to the State Patrol report. Oestreich was not injured. They were transported to area hospitals.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

New AD

(continued from page 1) a new school district, is managing the youth recreation and activities program the city operates. The city would like the program offerings expanded to serve a more diverse base, Pingalore said. These include programs in recreation as well as the arts. The city wants Eischens to be actively meeting parents, coaches, and volunteers and getting feedback from them directly. Chevalier is confident Eischens has the communication skills to work well with the youth sports associations in Belle Plaine. Eischens understands the importance of city service. He served on the Norwood Young America City Council from 2006-12. “We also plan to have Chad engage with the park board regularly to get their feedback as well,” Pingalore said. “The big challenge for Chad will be the ‘that’s-the-way-we-have-always-done-it’ mentality. In any environment with a long-term employee change, the pace of change is so important to success. Chad will need to be cognizant of this for the community for I believe we are ready for a fresh, new look to the community programs.” Perhaps the biggest challenge Eischens faces is time management. He’s taking on a role

previously held by two people. The city is counting on longterm support staff helping with the transition. Eischens and his family currently lives south of Norwood Young America and appreciate the reduced commute time now that his daily drive to work in Belle Plaine is significantly shorter than a drive to New Ulm. “The activities director community recreation roles actually overlap nicely since they both interact with sports and arts programs throughout the school year and can transfer that to the busy summer season for community rec.,” Pingalore said. “We don’t anticipate any major changes until Chad has had a chance to settle into the new role.”

‘One Umbrella’

The partnership between the city and school district makes sense, Eischens said. “Why duplicate them when you can have them under one umbrella,” he said. Eischens’ management style is to let people do their jobs with his support. He looks forward to meeting representatives of Belle Plaine’s youth activities associations. Eischens wants to hear from people when they have concerns or suggestions to improve programming. “Folks need to know the door is open,” he said.

Eischens knew of Belle Plaine School District professionally as well as personally. He knew Sparby professionally through their association as activities directors. Belle Plaine has played New Ulm in football the past few years. Eischens also knows Belle Plaine from his playing days. He grew up in Young America Township and played football and baseball for Central High School in Norwood Young America. “We had good competition back then. We won most of the time in baseball and lost most of the time in football,” Eischens said. Eischens has spent the last four years at New Ulm. He arrived there after a three-year stint as activities director at The International School of Minnesota in Eden Prairie from 200811. His resume includes an activities director job for a year at Winsted-Holy Trinity. He also taught health and physical education at Melrose High School. Eischens also coached football and baseball at Melrose. His teaching career started in Waconia at Southview Elementary School. Eischens holds an administrator’s license. The process for the community education director’s license includes completing an internship, presenting his work to a committee at Minnesota State University, Mankato. If the committee approves of his work, he can submit an application for the license with the Minnesota Department of Education.

Renville-Sibley Fiber Project Breaks Ground on Project The RS Fiber Cooperative fiber optic broadband initiative officially broke ground on the project today (Wednesday, July 8), in Sibley County. A groundbreaking ceremony was held at 9 a.m. along Sibley County Road 8 between county roads 9 and 17 in Kelso Township. “We couldn’t be more excited that the project is underway. It has taken a lot of work, time and effort by many individuals to make it to this point, but all of that work has finally paid off,” said RS Fiber Cooperative General Manager Toby Brummer. “This is a significant achievement that will benefit the Renville and Sibley county residents in so many ways. It is very satisfying to see fiber optic cable being installed.” The RS Fiber Cooperative and Hiawatha Broadband Communications, Inc. (HBC) anticipate offering services with fiber to approximately 1,600 homes and businesses and cover 90 percent of the service area with high-speed wireless services in late-2015. By the end of 2016 the number of homes and businesses that can be served with fiber will climb to 4,200. Upon final completion, the RS Fiber Cooperative will operate a fiber optic network for most of Sibley County and portions of Renville, Nicollet, and McLeod Counties. Over 6,200 potential customers will be able to use this high-speed fiber optic network, which will provide data speeds that can be over ten times faster than speeds offered by current

service providers. Construction will be completed in two phases over the next five to six years with Phase One now underway. The initial network construction phase is projected to cost $15 million. The original project began in 2012 and was restructured by the joint-powers board as a private cooperative, making it easier to finance and greatly lowering financial risk. As the project was refined, and the engineering and financial models revised, the total project cost was reduced by over 30 percent. The RS Fiber project is funded through issued bonds and commercial loans. The project is moving forward under the management of Hiawatha Broadband Communications. HBC is overseeing the design, development and

Dickson said he would keep the council informed on the progress of the splash padâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s components arriving in the area and Aqua Logicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timetable for installation. The council also included in the plans a fence to control access to the splash pad. The overall project is operating on a $180,000 budget. Dickson expects it will be completed for about $170,000. Council members, disappointed the splash pad is apparently a month behind schedule, questioned whether the project should be put on hold until 2016. Councilor Kyle Evenski suggested waiting until next spring.

Hotel Feasibility

In early-2015, the city council OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d spending $4,300 on a feasibility study to determine if Cologne could attract a small hotel to complement its community center and other area attractions. But the study was never completed, thanks in part to an increase in the cost of the study to $4,900 and turnover of city administrators. Tuesday, the city council got the study back on track. It approved a revised plan to have Core Distinction Group perform a similar study for $3,500. The study will look at the need for a small hotel in the area and if the marketplace will support it. If the need exists, the study will continue. But if fieldwork determines there is not adequate demand, the study will cease. The company would explain

In other action at the July 6 meeting, the Cologne City Council: â&#x20AC;˘ Paid bills totaling $371,444.43. â&#x20AC;˘ Heard a report on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s audit of its 2014 financial records from Joel Stencel of EideBailly. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved a final contract with Aqua Logic for installation of the splash pad. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved liability waiver coverage limits of $1.5 million from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved city participation in the Minnesota Greenstep Program, an initiative to help communities transition away from excess use of fossil fuels and begin using best practices that enhance economic development, quality of life and environmentally healthy, costefficient facilities.

Scott County Fair

St. Jude Bike Ride July 19

(continued from page 1) of them. In the early 1990s, Dick Ames, a Jordan resident and Scott County Fair Board member, along with his brothers and business partners, Butch and Ron, resumed the family’s tradition of showing and exhibiting Percheron horses at various county fairs and shows throughout the United States and Canada. As their interest grew, the Ames brothers wanted to help revitalize the local draft horse show held at the Scott County Fair. Up until that time, draft horses were housed alongside the cattle. The Ames brothers convinced the board that the adage, “If you build it, they will come” would indeed be true for the draft horse competition, and encouraged an investment in the expansion of the facilities. The board approved construction of a new barn specifically for the draft horses and, to offset the costs, the structure would be rented for boat storage during the winter. Dick Ames promised to fill the barn by personally inviting some of the best draft horse hitches from across the country, and construction began in the spring of 1997. The south arena was fenced and expanded to accommodate the massive size of a six-horse hitch performance class. Dick also secured financial sponsors to help support the draft horse premiums to ensure that none of the fair’s budget was used for payouts. Completion of the stalls came down to the final week as workers labored long hours to prepare for opening day. The turnout resulted in full capacity. More than 100 draft horses arrived that year, coming from eight states, and included 14 six-horse hitches. More stalls were added in an existing nearby barn. The fair kept building and the participants kept coming. In 2000 and 2001, additional tents were needed to house the ever-growing number of entries. Seeing the great success of the Draft Horse Show, the board approved building another barn that would mirror the shape of the 1997 barn. The new barn was completed prior to the 2002 event. Opening day of the 2002 Scott County Fair once again proved that, if you build it, they will come. The three barns now housed more than 275 draft horses from nine different states and four Canadian Providences. Exhibitors came from as far away as New Mexico, Virginia and New York, as well as Alberta and Quebec, Canada. With each passing year, the show elevated its level of competition while word quickly spread of the exceptional hospitality that participants received from the event organizers, the Ames Percheron Farm. Today, the Scott County Fair Draft Horse Show prides itself on promoting not only competition, but a true sense of comradery among its participants. Make no mistake – the competition is fierce in the ring, with everyone vying to go home with the top awards. Just the Facts Each year at the Scott County Fair Draft Horse Show: – An average of 200-275 head of horses are housed in the well-kept, nicely decorated draft horse barns. – Private donations fund the more than $57,000 premium payouts to the draft horse show

Grades 6-8: 10-11:30 a.m. Grades 3-5: noon-1:30 p.m. The cost of the camp is $50, which also includes a free Tshirt. Campers will receive daily instruction in the fundamentals of the game with a particular emphasis on shooting and dribbling. Time will be spent in both individual and group settings, as well as various game situations.

Come bike alongside motocross champion Ryan Dungey of Belle Plaine at Afton Apple Orchard in Hastings on Sunday, July, 19 and help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The ride(s) will begin 8 a.m. Dungey is the founder of the annual event, which benefits children fighting cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. The first St. Jude MN ride was held in 2012. There are several ride lengths, including 100K (62 miles), 40 miles and 20 miles. There’s also

exhibitors. – Premiums are paid out to award the top five stall decorations. – 12-18 open six-horse hitches and 8-13 mare six-horse hitches participate. – 8-17 open eight-horse hitches participate. “We want this show to stand out as one of the most prestigious competitions to be found anywhere,” Dick said. “Just as important, we want every participant to feel welcome here. We appreciate how far some of the exhibitors come to participate and want to acknowledge that it takes all of us to make the show possible.” A vast spectrum of exhibitors come to the show, from people who enlist professional drivers to family-owned and run operations. Yet, all come to compete and their collective opinions play a big role in the event’s evolving schedule. One of the most useful tools to support and shape the event is the annual participant survey. For example, as the trend for mares and geldings to compete against each other began to emerge, the Scott County show organizers tried something new. In addition to the event’s existing separate mare and gelding classes from cart to four-horse hitch, two combined six-horse hitches were added in 2013. Based on survey feedback from exhibitors, the 2014 event schedule included a separate mare and gelding six-horse

hitch and a combined supreme six-horse hitch, a change that was well received. The 2015 show will follow last year’s event schedule with a full roster of classes that also include an eight-horse hitch, junior classes, and an amateur four and a breed demonstration by the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society. In addition to acting on exhibitor input, a crew of knowledgeable volunteers is available throughout the entire event to assist exhibitors with everything they need to get in, get settled and get to the ring on time. Exceptional “housekeeping” is also a hallmark of the Scott County Fair Draft Horse Show and it starts with particular attention given to the footing in the hitch arena. A tremendous amount of effort is extended to ensure the footing is meticulously manicured and level. Careful attention is also given to the cleanliness of the stalls and wash racks, and to keeping the staging area available

for waiting and warming up the horses. To solidify comradery, all draft horse exhibitors, along with their families and crew, are invited to a dinner hosted by Dick Ames. The Scott County Fair Draft horse show also attracts crowds of people outside of the industry who know little to nothing about horses, yet often travel hours to attend, year after year. For some, it has been a family tradition. For others, the large work horses bring back memories of visiting their grandparents’ farm. And many simply appreciate the sights and sounds of these awe-inspiring, stately horses.

Town Team Baseball

Tigers Lose Heartbreaker by Brett Kruschke The Tigers returned to action Sunday night in Arlington after taking a week off between the Hamburg-Green Isle Tournament and the Fourth of July holiday. The A’s stole a 2-1 pitcher’s duel with two runs in the eighth inning to push the Tigers’ overall mark to 4-13, 3-3 in the River Valley League. Last night (Tuesday) Belle Plaine hosted the Green Isle Irish; check bptigertown.com and Twitter for the result and highlights. Friday is the ninth annual RVL-Dakota Rice Scott League All-Star Game, and this year’s rendition will be held in Montgomery. A Home Run Derby will begin at 7 p.m., with the first pitch slated for 8 p.m. Congrats to Belle Plaine’s representatives – eighth-year outfielder Travis Latzke and fourth-year infielder Derek Dahlke. On Saturday, the Tigers will trek to one of the state’s nicer new ballparks when they visit Irish Yard, home of the Milroy Irish. First pitch is slated for 3 p.m., so the Tigers can later go to Milroy’s other – and older – amateur baseball park, where a 75th anniversary celebration will commence at 6 p.m between the Yankees and Granite Falls Kilowatts. A busy week will conclude on Tuesday when Belle Plaine jaunts through the Highway 169 construction to take on the Jordan Juggernauts (er, Brewers) at the Mini Met. The first pitch is at 7:30 p.m. Arlington 2, Tigers 1 The public relations staff has advertised this year’s Tigers squad as extremely young – and that’s no joke, as 10 of the 21 rostered players are in their first or second season of town ball. The Arlington A’s are the RVL West’s version of the Ti-

gers, perhaps, also sporting a very young squad with an identical 3-2 record in league play coming in. With more players than usual unavailable due to the extended holiday weekend, some ghosts of Tiger Past were brought in as reinforcements – Jake Fiedler (retired last year), Brett Kruschke (retired after 2011) and Dave “Greek” Wagner (retired after 1993!) were all in uniform for this throwback tilt. The game was a scorekeeper’s delight, as not only was it scoreless after five frames, but Belle Plaine was also hitless against A’s starter Matt Pichelmann. The Brothers Dahlke for Belle Plaine were in prime form on the hill, with Derek working two scoreless to start, while Zac breezed through the rest of the contest – save for one out. With two outs in the sixth inning, Tyler Hartman singled, advanced to second on an errant pick-off attempt and scampered home with the game’s first run on an RBI single from Derek Dahlke. After giving up a leadoff single in the third inning to his first batter faced, Zac Dahlke was in total control and retired 16 straight batters until pinchhitter Cody Doetkott drew a one-out walk in the eighth. After a stolen base, a strikeout, a hit-by-pitch and another steal, the A’s had runners at second and third with two down. Second basemen Nathan Thomas delivered in the moment of truth, a single to right-center to plate a pair and give the A’s a 2-1 lead. It was the breakthrough A’s pitcher Pichelmann – a 2014 Tiger draftee – was waiting for, and he finished the complete-game, three-hitter for the win. Collecting Tigertown’s hits were Tyler Hartmann, Derek Dahlke and Dylan Nyberg.

Dave “Greek” Wagner, right, who retired from town team baseball over 20 years ago, suited up to help the shorthanded Tigers Sunday at Arlington. The temporary “un-retirement” allowed him to play in a game with his son, Ben, a town Tiger regular this season.

His father, Earl Voss, began the gun club in 1953 by putting up one trap field to establish the Voss Gun Club. The club continued its expansion over the years. An avid hunter, Earl was on a hunting trip to Alaska in 1966 when he returned with a trophy caribou. It was after that trip when the name was changed to

Caribou Gun Club. Randy took to the gun at an early age, and by the time he was 13, he had earned 87 trophies in a year. Breaking records in several states, Randy caught the eye of the U.S. Marksmanship Unit and a month after graduation, he joined the military. For three years, Randy shot all over the country with the U.S. Army Trap Team, earning a gold medal in Seoul, South Korea, in 1978 at the Bunker Trap World Championship. Leaving the military in 1979, Randy joined his father at the club. In 1985, they began the Hunting Preserve and by 1987 set up a Sporting Clay course. A second course was laid out in 1994, a third in 1998 and a fourth in 2004. Today, the Caribou Gun Club is considered one of the premier shooting destinations in North America.

City May Change Development Director’s Job Description Belle Plaine Community Development Director Chelsea Alger’s resignation takes effect today (Wednesday), and until her replacement can be hired, staff has recommended accepting a proposal from Joanne Foust of Municipal Development Group to assist with planning and zoning projects. “In discussions with Ms. Alger, she noted concern for the amount of duties required of the position,” City Administrator Holly Kreft reported to the city council on Monday. “The position includes attendance of at least six evening meetings per month along with agenda reports. This is in addition to the daily work of responding to resident questions and projects across a wide variety of topics. If the council’s focus is on economic development, then the job duties and time allotted should reflect that vision.

The council voted 3-2 Monday to approve the above plan for the proposed overpass and extension of Enterprise Drive.

Mn/DOT concluded that there be a full removal of the left turn-ins on Highway 169, while the right turn-ins will remain mostly as they currently exist with only a few modifications to coincide with the removal of the left turn-ins. The council’s action Monday was also a step forward toward a second medical clinic in Belle Plaine. In May, the council and Ridgeview Medical Center in Waconia agreed to the terms of a letter of understanding in regards to the project, which includes selling city-owned property to Ridgeview for $1 if all comes to fruition for the overpass this year. The clinic is proposed to be located on seven to eight acres on the northwest corner of Highway 169 and County Road 3/Meridian Street. The Ridgeview Medical Center Board voted on April 27 to authorize its staff to enter into a letter of understanding with Belle Plaine for acquisition of the property if the overpass project comes to fruition. In other business Monday night, the council unanimously authorized the purchase of a new backstop for the Prairie Park softball field at a total cost of over $7,000. Community Development Director Chelsea Alger reported that there has been some concern over safety due to the location of the new playground equipment because the existing backstop is only 10 feet, 5 inches high. A proposal of adding fence to the top of the backstop was dismissed because portions of the fence are bent. The city received a quote from Pass Fencing of Jordan to

(continued from page 1) have the entire three sections replaced with a 20-foot-high fence, with the top 4 feet angled toward the field. The park board recommended the expenditure and has reserved the $7,375 cost for the purchase from the city’s park dedication fund. The project will not be completed until after the current softball season because the field schedule does not allow enough time to complete the work. *Unanimously accepted a $7,500 donation from the Belle Plaine Friends of the Library from its lawful gambling fund. The funds will be used for future projects and purchases aimed at improving the local library, including a proposed future expansion. *Unanimously accepted a donation of $1,500 from the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce, which will be deposited into the park fund for expenses associated with the city’s Archery Park. *Unanimously accepted the resignation of Tyler Koonst as a member of the Belle Plaine

Fire Department. In turn, the council approved the appointment of Adam LeMieux and Nick Brooks as members of the department, bringing the total number of firefighters to the usual 30. *Unanimously approved the appointments of Anthony Woldsnes and Sterling Cayer as part-time officers for the Belle Plaine Police Department. They will receive $12 per hour, which will be increased to $18.82 per hour upon successful completion of a field training course. Part-time officers do not receive benefits or work a scheduled shift, but are utilized to cover vacation, sick time and special city events. *Unanimously approved pay request No. 4 by Wm. Mueller and Sons for $74,684 for work on the 2014 street and utility improvement project, and pay request No. 1 by Chard Tiling and Excavating for $198,913 for work on the 2015 street and utility improvement project. *Unanimously approved a 3.2 percent intoxicating beer

The Le Sueur County Board recently ordered the closing of the access to cars and trucks on the north side of Kasota. Access to the river is now permitted only by foot or bicycle traffic.

“Staff recommends that the council consider realigning the job duties specifically of the park board at this time. Staff recommends that these duties be shifted internally to other staff until such as it is determined if a park and recreation director is warranted,” Kreft continued. During a workshop Monday night, the council voiced support for removing the duties related to the park board. Alger, who announced her resignation last month, explained in her letter of resignation to the city of Belle Plaine that she has accepted a position as resource development officer with Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership, a nonprofit community development corporation.
