B.P. School Board Enacts Budget Cuts for 2016-‘17 Probationary Staff Bears Brunt of Job Cuts

Easter Stampede

Mikayla Olson of Belle Plaine (with bunny ears) was among those leading her age group’s stampede at the start of Saturday’s annual Easter Egg Hunt outside Emma Krumbee’s General Store in Belle Plaine. Prior to the hunt, participants and their family and friends had the opportunity to have their photos taken with the Easter Bunny. Temperatures in the 40s and dry conditions made for a comfortable 2016 hunt (see more photos on page 16).

Scott, Carver Fastest Growing Counties in Metropolitan Area Twin Cities Population Surpasses 3 Million for First Time in History

More than 3 million people now live in the Twin Cities metropolitan area – the highest population in its history, according to estimates released late last week by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Leading the way in the growth in terms of percentage in the 16-county region are Scott and

Carver counties, which grew by 9 and 8.5 percent, respectively, between 2010 and 2015. Hennepin, Ramsey and Washington counties were the next three at 6.1, 5.8 and 5.7 percent, respectively.

The latest estimates are for counties only. No individual population updates for cities are included.

In addition to the seven counties in the Twin Cities region, the U.S. Census Bureau includes nine additional counties

for its metropolitan statistical area. Those statistics include Chisago, Isanti, Le Sueur, Mille Lacs, Sherburne, Sibley and Wright counties in Minnesota, and Pierce and St. Croix counties in Wisconsin.

Le Sueur County (0 percent) and Sibley County (-2 percent) are near the bottom of the latest growth list.

Detour to Oak Crest S.M. Hentges and Sons Inc., the city’s general contractor for the Enterprise Drive Extension and Highway 169 overpass project, has reported that West Commerce Drive from Elk Street to Meridian Street (County Road 3) will be closed soon, perhaps as early as this week.

As of Tuesday morning, the road was still open.

Construction includes municipal utility extensions and lane reconfigurations on West Commerce Drive in preparation for the extension of Enterprise Drive and construction of the Highway 169 overpass.

The detour routes traffic to Elk Street, South Street, Willow Street and Raven Street.

The closure is scheduled to last through July.

With approved spending outweighing anticipated income, the Belle Plaine School Board stemmed the tide of deficit spending Monday night in a move that will cost several probationary teachers, paraprofessionals and an administrator their jobs for the 2016-17 school year.

Over 20 members of the school district’s staff and students watched the school board unanimously approve budget cuts that will save the Belle Plaine School District about $434,860 next year. Ellen VanRavenswaay, a para-professional, pleaded with the board to find an alternative to cutting staff.

She said the loss of staff would hurt the educational growth of students. Eighth-grader Emily Berger asked the board to preserve the job of a math teacher who has helped many students improve their classroom performance.

Their pleas made no difference.

Director Dan Gardner, the school board’s chairman, said the cuts were difficult to approve but he is confident they will place the district in a good position to move forward.

The school board terminated the employment of four classroom teachers – Rebecca Williams, Kale Seifert, Andrea Radcliff, Danielle Tesmer and Activities Director Chad Eischens effective at the end of the school year. The board also eliminated three full-time paraprofessional positions. Superintendent Ryan Laager said two of the para-professionals had announced plans to leave

anyway, leaving Jessica Moers as the lone para-professional leaving via unrequested leave of absence.

The school board also approved the retirements of Pandy Anderson, Community Education office assistant, and high school teacher and coach Lyle Noah. Their positions will be restructured, Laager said.

The Belle Plaine School District needed to enact the spending reductions as part of a restructuring and budget adjustment aimed at reducing the growth of its budget by $493,047 by the 201617 school year. That number grows to $576,164 if the school board’s policy of maintaining a 10 percent fund balance is factored into the equation.

Over Budget

The district’s 2015-16 revised budget is $16.16 million, more than $207,000 above the approved budget. There was also an increase in unbudgeted severance costs that were not included in the budget due to retirements. Laager said former Superintendent Kelly Smith’s board-approved $100,000 severance package, a longtime provision in his contract, would fund two teachers. The money for the severance was not in the district’s 2015-16 budget.

“It wasn’t there because they didn’t expect him to retire,” Laager said.

With new labor agreements with its teachers and para-professionals, the budget is expected to grow in 2016-17. The biggest area of growth comes from higher-than-expected new contracts include an additional $185,472 in salaries and wages for teachers and para-professionals as well as the need to

Belle Plaine Girl Establishing a Place for Books in Quest for Silver

One Day Blizzard Stacey Theesfield was hoping last Wednesday’s (March 23) snowfall is the last time this year she needs to use a snowblower on her driveway along South Meridian Street (below). The heavy, wet snow bogged down Theesfield’s snowblower, turning a simple job into an unusually arduous task. About 8 inches of snow fell in Belle Plaine, flocking evergreens and other trees along South Street (above). The snow was melted within two days.

by Dan Ruud A 12-year-old Belle Plaine girl is taking things one page at a time in her endeavor to eventually earn Girls Scouting’s highest award and in the process promote literacy.

Elissa Moonen, a member of Belle Plaine Girl Scouts Troop 25151 and a sixth-grader at Oak Crest Elementary School, is planning to establish a “little” community library as part of obtaining Girl Scouting’s Silver Award. It’s the next to last step before moving on to the Gold Award, the latter of which is equivalent to the Boy Scouts’ Eagle Award.

“It (the Gold Award) is the highest honor you can earn in Girl Scouts,” said Elissa, daughter of Tim and Molly Moonen.

Although Elissa says she has “quite a few ideas” for her Gold Award project that she will attempt to conquer in two more years when she’s in the eighth grade, she’s not yet ready to pinpoint just what it will be.

For now, her focus is on the Silver Award.

She presented her idea to establish a little book library near the flower garden on the city’s Carriage Museum (Red Barn) property adjacent to Court Square Park to the Belle Plaine City Council last Monday night

Elissa Moonen, a Belle Plaine Girl Scout and sixth-grader at Oak Crest Elementary School, stores examples and other pertinent information regarding her little library project on her phone.

(March 21). The council was very receptive of Elissa’s idea and encouraged her to continue with the project.

In approaching the council, Elissa, with her mother and other Girl Scouts seated behind her, introduced herself and made her pitch.

“I’ve been in Girl Scouts Troop 25151 for about seven years, which means I started in kindergarten . . . In Girl Scouts, I’ve had some amazing opportunities to do some amazing

things – I’ve gone to cheerleading practices, Girl Scout camp and been on many never-ending field trips.

“Last year, I did the bronze award. A few girls from my troop and I made gift bags for the battered women’s shelter.

About 30 teachers, para-professionals and students crowded into the Belle Plaine School District Board Room for Monday’s budget adjustment decision. The board eliminated probationary teachers, para-professionals and an administrator to save about $434,860 in 2016-17.

B.P. Cyber Tigers Gearing Up for Regional Event April 7-9 Belle Plaine Team Will Focus on Its Strengths

Members of the Belle Plaine High School robotics team know they will face teams with better funding, larger rosters and more experience next week at the regional competition.

Undaunted by that reality, the Cyber Tigers head to Mariucci arena planning to do what they do well.

The BPHS team will compete against dozens of other teams at the regional competition Thursday-Saturday (April 7-9) at Mariucci Arena at the University of Minnesota. The team’s goal is to focus on their strengths and possibly earn an alliance with another team in subsequent rounds of compettion that will collectively help them earn a respectable finish.

The challenge the Cyber Tigers and other teams face is to breach their opponent’s defenses and, with the help of an allied team, throw boulders

(over-sized dodge balls) at their castle and potentially scale the castle and capture it. Robots score points by breaching opponents’ defenses and scoring boulders through goals in the opposing tower. During the final 20 seconds of the competition, robots may surround and scale the opposing tower to capture it.

The Belle Plaine team has 15 members on it. The Cyber Tigers have been working on their robot since early-January when the game was announced.

The team’s robot has some limitations in its ability to throw boulders at the castle and scale the opponent’s castle walls, said Jeff Heine, the Cyber Tigers’ advisor.

With those limitations in mind, the BPHS team has been working on the robot’s maneuverability and its ability to earn points by navigating its way over and around obstacles, maneuvers that can earn it points.

The team’s hope is to be an attractive alliance member for another team whose robot is capable of launching boulders and scaling the opponent’s cas-

tle, said Keegan Titus, a BPHS sophomore. “We can pick a defense the other team can’t handle,� said Noah Sterk. “There are obstacles other teams can’t handle.�

The Cyber Tigers were one of many teams that competed in a Zero Week competition Feb. 20 at Eagan High School. While the event was not formally scored, the Cyber Tigers earned plenty of points for maneuverability and defending their territory. The competition provided teams an opportunity to learn their strengths and weaknesses against possible opponents in the regional competition. “Our drivers were a lot better than the other teams,� said Taylor Cote, a 10th-grader. Belle Plaine’s primary drivers are ninth-graders Justin Entinger and Noah Stieimke.

The Cyber Tigers also used the event to scout other teams for possible alliances at next week’s regional. Team members believe their robot has plenty to offer. “We want to prove we’re a good team,� said sophomore Michael Davis.

hire additional para-professional support in special education.

Jerold Stauffacher, president of the union representing the district’s teachers said the reductions were part of the budgeting process. “I have been at Belle Plaine now 16 years and this is part of the flow of a school district.

In years past, we have added position across the district and this year we are seeing some reductions across the district,�

Stauffacher said. “We as a district will continue to do our best to meet the needs of the school district. Balancing budgets is a difficult duty, but one that our current board and administration is faced with. Do we ever want to see cuts of staff of any kind? No.�

Dawn Underferth, president of the union representing the district’s para-professionals, declined comment on the impact the budget adjustment will have on her union.

Retain Good Staff

Laager said the contract settlements were larger to keep the district from losing good teachers to other districts that pay more. He stressed the decisions were about finances and not the quality of work. “These budgets adjustments are about building a sustainable structure moving forward. It is not about contract settlements.

All organizations continually have to reorganize, downsize and change to make sure they are sustainable,� Laager said. “Failure to maintain a quality, regionally competitive contract in any area will cause us to lose far more good people. Just like failure to make staff reductions in places where we don’t have student numbers to justify positions does not honor the fiduciary responsibility we have to our taxpayers. There is no blame to placed here. It is the natural result all organizations go through. “Yes, I am sure no organization ever wants to lose a person but that is not the case in any line of work,� he said.

The superintendent said changes, though difficult, were needed. Friday, he said the teachers who won’t be back are good at their jobs and will no doubt find jobs with other districts.

He said Belle Plaine’s enrollment does not justify the num-

ber of staff allocated to certain areas. For example, enrollment in high school math classes do not support the seven-plus positions allocated to teach math in the junior-senior high school.

A smaller sixth grade next year requires one less teacher, a move that will increase class size from 22 students per sixth grade class to 27½ students per class. There will also be 18 fewer kindergarten students next year, a reduced enrollment that necessitates one fewer classroom teacher.

Eischens’ work as activity director for the school district will be divided up among other administrators and staff, Laager said.

Laager said the school board couldn’t justify cuts to paraprofessionals and licensed teachers without a reduction at the administrative level. He said there were “some redundancies� in the work Eischens performed. The administrative team will divvy up the work Eichens did. The next activities director could be a part-time position, Laager said. “The cuts have to go across the board,� he said. “You can’t have administration not be affected.�

In other action at Monday’s meeting, the Belle Plaine School Board: • Paid bills totaling $2,036,476.38. • Approved the hire of Gary Busse as a long-term substitute for Bethany Otto, high school teacher, effective March 11 through June 10. • Approved the hire of Sadie Read as a long-term substitute for Kelly Petrasek, Chatfield ECSE teacher, effective March 30, 2016 through May 26, 2016. • Renewed an employee leave request for Martha Hartmann effective August 2016 through June 2017 (2016-17 school year). • Accepted the resignation of Pandy Anderson, Community Education office assistant, effective June 30. • Accepted the resignation of Helen Lehtinen, para-professional, effective June 9. • Accept the resignation of Lyle Noah, high school teacher and coach, effective June 10. • Accepted the resignation of Natalie Nelson as the high

school student council advisor effective June 10. • Accepted the resignation of Cassie Koch as head volleyball coach effective March 14. • Approved a Belle Plaine ninth-grader attending Shakopee Schools effective Aug. 22. • Approved a Belle Plaine eighth-grader attending Jordan Schools effective Nov. 2. • Approved Belle Plaine seventh-, second-grader and kindergarten student attend Jordan Schools beginning in the fall of 2016. • Approved two Le SueurHenderson second-graders attend Belle Plaine Schools beginning in the fall of 2016. • Approved a proposal to increase fees for community education programs and increases to childcare class sizes. • Approved the budget for the district’s use of state Integration dollars. The district is using about $51,000 to fund additional math staffing at BPHS. • OK’d a bond resolution authorizing issuance and sale of $3,110,000 GO bonds to refunding of the 2009A bonds the district issued to fund improvements at Chatfield Elementary School. The refunding is expected to save the district $25,000 per year in interest rates for 10 years. • Approved revisions to policies addressing public and private personnel data, family and medical leave, tobacco-free environment, weapons on school grounds.

Roman Barten Memorial Benefit for Two Jordan Boys April 10 The ninth annual Roman Barten Memorial BeneďŹ t Breakfast will take place Sunday, April 10 at the New Prague Knights of Columbus Hall. This year, all proceeds go to the care of 8-year-olds GrifďŹ n Dahmen (son of Jill and Kurt Dahmen) and Lexyn Grof (son of Ashley and Jeff Holt) of Jordan.

The breakfast, which includes pancakes, sausage and cinnamon rolls, will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the cost is a freewill donation. Donations may also be made to the “GrifďŹ n-Lexyn BeneďŹ t Accountâ€? at Frandsen Bank in Jordan.

GrifďŹ n Dahmen is a sports fanatic with a tender heart and a “wise beyond his yearsâ€? type of spirit. He was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma in February 2015. This cancer is quite rare and extremely relentless. Griff has endured complex surgeries and countless weeks in the hospital separated from his four siblings – three sisters and one brother. Faith in God has carried him and his family through this unthinkable time. Cancer tried to take GrifďŹ n’s leg and steal his ability to participate in

the activities he loves but he is determined to beat cancer once and for all and to one day be declared cancer free!

Lexyn Grof is an easy going, always smiling, sports loving boy. He loves nothing more than to be surrounded by friends and family and has one younger sibling. He was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in October 2015. LCH is a rare and unpredictable cancer that causes tumors to form in his chest, sacrum and femur bones.

Despite surgery, chemotherapy treatments and physical limitations, Lexyn remains upbeat and is ready to tackle the cancer head on!

The boys are friends and both in second grade at Jordan Elementary School. The Dahmen and Holt families wish to thank everyone who has already shown so much love and support towards their families.

To learn more, please visit the Caring Bridge sites: GrifďŹ n Dahmen (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/grifďŹ ndahmen) and Lexyn Grof (http://www. caringbridge.org/visit/lexyngrof).

Sibley County Board Member Comments on Issues From Area Township Meetings

By Bobbie Harder Sibley County Commissioner March is the month for the annual township meetings. Thank you to everyone who attended and provided feedback on a variety of issues which affect all of us. At the meetings, information shared included the buffer law, Sibley County’s ďŹ ve-year road and bridge plan, and the county’s revenue and expenses for 2016.

Over the past several weeks, I have received input on a number of topics such as the creation of a community development coordinator, Santa’s Helpers, drainage, road projects, DNR and delinquent taxes, the county jail, and the articles I write to share information regarding the district.

The topic of creating a new position in the county has stirred many residents wondering why this is needed. Many people have voiced there must be current positions in the county who have the capacity to take on the functions listed in the job description. Some people feel Sibley County doesn’t have the tax base to support the expansion of county government.

With Santa’s Helpers, many residents are questioning as to

FEED FOR ALL LIVESTOCK • WILD BIRD FOOD & FEEDERS • FARM SUPPLIES

! "

why tax dollars continue to be used in this way. Funds used for the purchase of gifts are donated. Tax dollars are used when an employee’s time is utilized to purchase, wrap, and deliver the gifts.

In 2016, the county spent nearly $14,500 for staff time.

This program has been in existence for several decades and the cost to all of us continues to rise. If Santa’s Helpers is truly needed in the county, then options where tax dollars are not used needs to be looked at. Options may include looking for another agency to complete the project or employees can continue the project on a total volunteer basis.

Work continues to address the drainage issues we face in the district. The county is giving thought to developing a sediment control plan. The plan will look at areas in the county where either ponds, structures, or some other mechanism may be used to assist in slowing the movement of water to our area.

This may help the erosion and the sediment build-up in many of the culverts along Scenic Byway 6 and other areas of the county.

Have you heard of the lead-

ership program which is being developed in the county? The ofďŹ cial name is Leading Sibley Together. The program is designed to bring county residents together to build a common commitment to the future vitality of the area.

The program builds a network of people from both public and private entities which will lead initiatives to address local issues. There will be one-day sessions at locations around the county where participants will spend half a day in a classroom setting learning about topics such as dealing with change, rural migration, or ethical leadership. The second half of the day will be spent doing site visits within the community. Goals of the leadership program are to develop new leaders, volunteers, bridge communities, and network to promote Sibley County.

If you would like any of the information presented at the township meetings, please contact me and I would be happy to share the information. If you need assistance, please call me at home, 507-665-3642, cell 507-479-3250, or by e-mail at BobbieH@co.sibley.mn.us

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Local officials promoting Extended Area Service (the Metro Telephone Line) for Belle Plaine said that Tuesday that the Centel Telephone Company agreed to extend service to the city if the majority of the subscribers want it. “No set price for the extended service has not been determined, but Centel is requesting a rate of $19.95 per month per home,” said Chuck Perkins, director of the Belle Plaine Development Corporation. Perkins and Ron Hennen were the co-chairmen of the Metro Line Project.

The Belle Plaine School Board accepted the resignations of two teachers who were leaving the district. Included were Randee Carroll, health occupations teacher; and Mark Moselle, guidance counselor. After accepting Carroll’s resignation, the board voted to discontinue health occupations instruction for the next school year.

Scott County Auditor Tom Hennen was asking Belle Plaine and other county municipalities and townships to participate in the cost of acquiring an optical-scanner voting machine to be used for future elections.

The price of the machine was $46,000.

When Scott County Commissioner William Koniarski of Belle Plaine took his seat on the county board in 1961, he never thought the job would eventually bring him into contact with the president of the United States, much less four.

By 1986 Koniarski had met Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. He came into contact with those presidents in his capacity as a director of the board of the National Association of County Commissioners.

Ewald Gruetzmacher was elected the new president of the Blakeley Cooperative Elevator, succeeding Walter Schense, who retired after serving 12 years on the board.

All-time March temperature records were being shattered as the mercury climbed into the 80s a couple of days that week and the 70s on Easter.

Marie Hoelz, age 75, of Belle Plaine, passed away March 30. She married George H. “Dooley” Hoelz Sr. on Oct. 19, 1936. She initiated “story hour” at the Juergens Library in Belle Plaine and wrote the “Just Plaine Belle” column in the Belle Plaine Herald.

An inexperienced Belle Plaine High School baseball team was set to open the 1986 season on April 4. Only two senior lettermen were on the squad – Mike Wolf and Joey Edberg. Juniors out were Randy Stender, Jeff Bruder, Jeff Johnson, Jim Buesgens, Scott Schmidt, Mike Gau, Matt Fogarty, Dan Buesgens, Jeff Fahey, Andy Fogarty, Paul Miller and Will Soller. Sophomores looking for a spot on the roster were Nick Hoelz, Pat Daly and John Bergs.

Heat Wave on Easter Weekend Thousands of college students headed to Florida to bask in the sun, but in 1986 the warm sun came to Minnesota for Easter. All-time March records were shattered as the mercury climbed into the 80s both Saturday and Monday and in the 70s on Easter. The July-like weather had some Belle Plaine High School students parading Saturday in convertibles. Outdoor summer activities were popular after a long, snowy winter. Pictured above in a convertible are George Schoenborn, Matt Fogarty, Mitzi Westlund and Wendy Carlson.

60 Years Ago (1956)

Two important business changes took place in Belle Plaine.

Mr. and Mrs. Ed Ploetz sold their business, Christenson’s Store, to Matt Tholkes, proprietor of Matt’s Variety; and Jim Lux sold his cafe to Ed Fisher, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Fisher, proprietors of Fisher’s Shoe Store here.

Life magazine carried a picture of a former Belle Plaine man, William Hoye. He got into the magazine in its review of the Kefauver campaign in Minnesota. The picture showed the Tennessee senator greeting Bill at his place of employment at the Donaldson’s store in Minneapolis.

Mr. and Mrs. A.A. Hahn celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with an open house in the auditorium of the First Presbyterian Church in Belle Plaine.

Bridget McKenna, daughter of pioneer settlers Dennis and Catherine McKenna, died at St. Mary’s Hospital, Minneapolis.

president of the board.

Mrs. James Huber and her 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Kathleen, arrived at her Belle Plaine home after a three-month visit with her parents at Harrow Weald, England. It was Mrs. Huber’s first visit to her parental home since arriving in this country.

Mary Dorthia Harms, native of Benton Township, died at the age of 85.

Virgil Herrmann, rural Watkins dealer here for 10 1/2 years, was awarded an all-expense paid trip for himself and his wife to the 1956 National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. A.J. Mahowald, for 16 years a member of the Scott County Board of Commissioners and a longtime civic leader of New Market, died at the age of 74.

Funeral services for John Mahoney, lifetime resident of Jessenland Township, were held at the Church of St. Thomas. Mr. Mahoney was 80 years old.

Eldon Reinke of Helena was proclaimed county junior corn growing champion at a banquet held at Mankato in honor of Minnesota corn growing champions.

Lee Mellgren was the biggest local money winner in Belle Plaine’s handicap bowling tournament. He took home $56.80 for first place in the optional high single game and won $16 for 12th place in the singles.

Firearm training for boys 14 and 15 years old began in Belle Plaine. Instructors were Orlin Smith, Robert Meyer, Ed Townsend and Maynard Harms.

90 Years Ago (1926)

It was a white Easter. A moist snowfall during the day gave a clean covering to the earth for the holiday.

Victor Kahle departed to resume his ball playing contract in the Chicago City League.

Fred West and family moved back from Minneapolis to make their home with Mrs. West’s father, Herman Schmidt, until a house could be secured.

While on a visit to the home of his son, Walter, in Benton, F.H. Woestehoff died. A native of Blakeley Township, he had lived his later years in St. Paul.

Henry Tonn bought the residence property of the Ernst Vinkemeier estate and planned to move into town that spring.

The Farmer-Labor Party held a county convention at Jordan and endorsed a complete ticket

of county offices. State Sen. Henry Arens headed the list of endorsements.

The borough election that spring was very quiet, no contests for any office. Elected were Mayor John Feider, Councilman Sam Kahn Sr. and Treasurer F.J. Connolly. M. O’Brien was named for assessor and C.A. Neil for justice.

Calvin C. Brinker, the druggist from Nome, Alaska, who had arrived the previous week for a visit with his sister, Mrs. Jane Simcox, died suddenly while in a doctor’s office in Minneapolis. Born in Belle Plaine in 1865, he went to Alaska at the time of the Klondike gold rush.

Funeral services were held in Belle Plaine with burial in Oakwood Cemetery.

Thirteen new Fords and a truck were destroyed in the burning of the Habegger warehouse in Jordan.

W.F. Winterfeldt, former Blakeley Township man, was reelected mayor of Henderson.

Mrs. R.A. Bamberg came from Louisiana to spend several months at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Reuben Frank.

Mr. and Mrs. Roy Woestehoff moved out from St. Paul to take occupancy of the Edward Koepp farm that they would operate.

Seeding was underway.

The borough election resulted in W.H. Weibeler being made mayor, F.J. Whitlock and Chris Albrecht going on the council.

Holdover council members were John Schliz, Peter Hahn and J.C. Morrison.

The name Theodore Roosevelt got into the press. Acting as police commissioner in New York, a crudely-made bomb was sent to him through the mail.

Ex-governor Ramsey of Minnesota was known as the only living Civil War governor in the entire country.

Dahle Authors New Bill

by Sen. Kevin Dahle Sen. Kevin Dahle (DFLNorthfield) has authored a new bill intended to protect Minnesotans from debt settlement scams.

The legislation will extend the protections of the existing debt settlement law to the scams involving the alleged settlement of tax debts. While Minnesota’s debt settlement law establishes rules protecting consumers from scams, it only applies to credit card or medical debt.

“Most Minnesotans have seen late night TV commercials from companies promising to work with the IRS to reduce or even settle tax debts entirely.

Some of them are scams, and too many taxpayers have been

taken advantage of in this way,” Dahle said. “These scammers use the same techniques as those peddling credit card debt settlements or medical debt.

Putting victims of tax debt scams under the same protections is just common sense, and will give taxpayers much better coverage under the law.”

The legislation also strengthens the debt settlement law by ensuring that any legal disputes involving Minnesotans are settled in Minnesota courts.

Vogel Bill Would Deal With Surcharges on Utility Bills Rep. Bob Vogel, R-Elko New Market, has authored a bill that would provide taxpayers with greater transparency when local municipalities are considering or renewing franchise fees for utility services.

A report from the nonpartisan Minnesota Office of the State Auditor indicates 357 cities raised a combined $136.9 million in franchise fees during 2014. That is up from 23 cities collecting $13.7 million when this practice began in 1975.

Minneapolis and St. Paul together collected $59.6 million in franchise fees in 2014.

That money is paid by consumers and employers through surcharges applied to their utility bills.

“Often, citizens are unaware this is taking place because it appears to be a fee charged by the utility, opposed to what is in reality a tax being collected by the utility for the city,” Vogel said. “The goal of the bill is not to restrict using the fee if that is what people want, rather it is to bring greater transparency to the process so taxpayers can make a proactive decision if this is the best way to fund their local government.

“People need to have a say in the matter of how their taxes are being collected, especially

when it shows up on their utility bill and is ultimately redirected to local governments.

This raises utility costs and effectively serves as a hidden tax,” Vogel continued.

Vogel’s bill (H.F. 3470) says taxpayers must be notified of proposed or renewing franchise fees to be collected there must be a public hearing, and, if 5 percent of voters object, it spurs a referendum for the following November election.

“There is a significant lack of transparency that is growing,” Vogel said. “If taxpayers and cities agree to raise local taxes, that is their decision, but it also needs to be something they should be deciding together with full information about all the taxes and fees involved. The problem that now exists with franchise fees is they often are used as an alternative for cities to increase their levies without citizen approval. This bill gives the people the information they need so they are fully aware of what is happening.”

(continued from page 1) shows a population increase of more than 162,000 people for the metro region since 2010.

The estimated population count for the region as of July 1, 2015 is 3,012,117, a 5.7 percent increase over ďŹ ve years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hitting this historic mark shows that our region is thriving â&#x20AC;&#x201C; people want to live here, to work here, to raise their families here,â&#x20AC;? said Metropolitan Council Chair Adam Duininck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we at the Met Council focus on how to foster efďŹ cient growth across the region, this milestone assures us that these efforts are paying off.â&#x20AC;?

Further analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau data by the Met Council shows the metropolitan region accounted for 88 percent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s net population growth since 2010. The Twin Cities region collectively has 55 percent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population.

The data also shows that the metropolitan region is growing at a faster rate than the national increase of 4.1 percent, including more established metro regions such as Boston, New York and Chicago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Met Council works to ensure our region can compete against our peer regions, places like Denver, Dallas and Seattle,â&#x20AC;? Duininck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We compete for businesses and a talented workforce. While we rate well compared to other large regions in the Midwest, there is room for improvement.â&#x20AC;?

Duininck added that when looking at the regions growing faster than the Twin Cities, one of the common threads is a strong regional transit system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we continue to grow as a

Sibley County Republicans Convention April 2

region, we are not keeping up when it comes to investments in our infrastructure. With more people choosing to live here, we need to provide transportation options. More transit will keep moving people and goods throughout our region efďŹ ciently, without adding to trafďŹ c congestion. A growing region means we need a growing transit system.â&#x20AC;?

About two-thirds of the Twin Cities regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth came from â&#x20AC;&#x153;natural increaseâ&#x20AC;? (more people are being born than are dying). The remainder of the increase came from international migration (more people are moving into the region from outside the U.S. than are moving out).

The Census Bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s county population estimates serve as a consistency check for the ofďŹ cial Metropolitan Council population estimates for cities and townships in the Twin Cities region. These estimates will be prepared and delivered to cities in May for their review, then certiďŹ ed and released in July.

Carver/Scott Veterans Resource Fair April 2 The Carver County and Scott County Veterans Services are teaming up to host a ďŹ rst-of-itskind event for veterans in the two-county region.

The Carver/Scott Veterans Resource Fair will be from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 2 at the Chaska Curling Center, 3210 Chaska Boulevard.

The Fair is designed to help veterans identify the many beneďŹ ts available to them, including local, state and federal beneďŹ ts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Carver/Scott Resource Fair is an excellent opportunity to gather many of these great citizens and start the process of helping them access the care and beneďŹ ts they have earned,â&#x20AC;? said Carver County Board Chair James Ische. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a responsibility to do everything we can for our countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veterans, and connecting veterans with the beneďŹ ts they deserve is important to us.â&#x20AC;?

Carver County has approximately 5,000 residents who are active military or military veterans. While the three-person staff in the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Veterans Services OfďŹ ce has made strides in outreach to veterans, the Resource Fair is designed to strengthen those efforts even

more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the past 18 months, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen record numbers come through our doors, but we have a hunch that there are many more veterans out there who are eligible for beneďŹ ts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; beneďŹ ts they may not even know exist,â&#x20AC;? said Susan Wherley, who has served as the ofďŹ ce coordinator for Carver County Veterans Services for 12 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt that we could reach many more veterans by putting on an event of this caliber for the heroes in our communities and their families. Our goal is to identify as many veterans and their families as possible and have representatives available to help them with any questions or issues they may have.â&#x20AC;?

The Resource Fair will provide a â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-stop shopâ&#x20AC;? for identifying potential beneďŹ ts and community resources available to veterans and their families.

Wherley said vendors registered for the event include local VFW and American Legion posts, federal, state and county agencies.

For more information on the Carver/Scott Resource Fair, or on veterans beneďŹ ts in general, call Carver County Veterans Services at 952-442-2323.

ed last year the project would cost about $8 million. The grant will help reduce New Pragueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the project cost, said City Administrator Mike Johnson.

New Prague was one of ďŹ ve applicants for the state grant, along with Mankato, Worthington, St. Peter and North Mankato. Mankato will also receive a $1.5 million in payments from 2017 to 2020. St Peter will also receive $200,000 in transportation funding.

The awards were based on safety and hazard elimination, trafďŹ c volume, pavement quality, and the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on economic development. Each cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application was evaluated based the criteria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All projects were very good candidates. Ranking was extremely close,â&#x20AC;? said Gordon Regenscheid, an assistant district engineer in the Minnesota Department of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mankato ofďŹ ce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The top four projects were separated by six points on a scale of 100.â&#x20AC;?

IRU PHQ

New Pragueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application for a federal grant proved a worthwhile effort. The city was recently informed it will receive a $1.5 million grant to help fund its Main Street project the city is planning for 2020.

City Engineer Chris Cavett of Short Elliott Hendrickson informed the New Prague City Council it had won the Surface Transportation Program (STP) Small Urban City Street grant.

The city applied for the grant last December.

The New Prague Times recently reported the money will help pay for parking lanes, streetscaping, landscaping and lighting along Main Street (highways 13/19). New Prague is concerned about the condition of public utilities below Main Street. The utilities were installed in 1921. The overall project includes replacing failing utilities under 4,950 feet of the highway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from Main Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intersection with Fourth Avenue to Seventh Avenue SE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and repaving the roadway.

Many guests were surprised to learn that Minnesota is home to snakes that can reach up to 6-8 feet long. They also learned that North America is home to only one marsupial, the opossum, a critter that also holds the record for the most teeth found on a mammal.

Holly Kreft, board member at the Ney Nature Center, enjoyed watching the excitement of vis-

Le Sueur Inc. Helps City Buy Used Fire Dept. Ladder Truck A Le Sueur company has donated $80,000 toward the city’s purchase of a ladder truck for the Le Sueur Fire Department.

Le Sueur Inc., a die and casting company, recently announced its donation to the city. The Le Sueur Fire Department is purchasing a 1993 model 100foot ladder truck from the fire department in Somerset, Penn.

The ’93 truck, the Le Sueur News-Herald recently reported, will replace a 1979 model.

The ’93 model will allow for better rescue operations from

Le Sueur firefighters, said Le Sueur Fire Department Chief Tom Obele.

The truck has some history for Somerset firefighters. Using it, they were the first emergency responders to arrive at the site of United Airlines Flight 93 crash in nearby Shanksville, Penn. Sept. 11, 2003.

“It’s got a lot of memories for them,” Obele said. “They didn’t really want to get rid of it.”

The chief credited Le Sueur Inc. for its donation.

itors at the event.

“It was so fun to see the kids’ eyes light up when the next animal was revealed,” Kreft said.

“It was a great event for all ages - kids as young as 2 and adults in their 60s. Christine was very engaged with the audience and often made even the adults laugh out loud. Everyone left with new appreciation for Minnesota animals and a smile.”

The Ney Nature Center holds an annual member’s only event as a way to appreciate members for their support as well as gain new members. Previous member’s only events have included presentations from The University of Minnesota Raptor Center and Christian Lilienthal, a local zookeeper based out of Arlington.

Carver City Council Mulls About-Face on Village Hall Five weeks after Carver Mayor Mike Webb seemingly sounded the death knell for Village Hall, citing its weakened roof, the city council is now considering refurbishing and improving the 59-year-old local landmark.

The Carver City Council recently christened a two-month study on possible renovations and improvements to the former home of city, community and private gatherings. The possibilities range from replacing the building’s floors, walls, foundation and roof for $271,200 to a full rehabilitation that includes improved kitchen and restroom facilities for $360,000. The Chaska Herald recently reported the possibilities could keep the building useable for 10 to 50-plus years.

Councilor Jim Weygand said the Carver City Council was considering a range of options.

He noted investing $360,000 for another five decades use is “not a bad deal.”

The council’s willingness to

What’s Happening

Memberships aid in the Ney Nature Center’s (NNC) goal to manage and protect the Ney Wildlife Preserve through education and interaction with the natural world. They directly support the NNC’s ongoing activities, programs, learning experiences and staff. New members are accepted at any time through the NNC’s website at www.neycenter.org/support/ become-a-member.

About Ney Nature Center Ney Nature Center is situated on the bluffs of the Minnesota River near Henderson. It is home to 446 acres of native prairie and woodlands. This unique blend of biomes allows staff to educate youth and adults alike about the native plants and wildlife important to southern Minnesota.

look at options is an about-face from Feb. 16. After hearing the $200,000 price tag for making the building useable again, Webb declared, “I think we all agree that building is not salvageable.”

Five days earlier (Feb. 11), Carver’s municipal building official, citing a deteriorated roof, declared the building unsafe and ordered it closed indefinitely.

Village Hall was built in 1957.

The unexpected, unwelcomed news on Village Hall prompted the city to inspect its other facilities. Inspections found cracks in the foundation of city hall, and shingles missing and deteriorated roof sheathing in the shelter at Carver Community Park.

With Village Hall on the shelf, the city council agreed to make large-meeting space at the fire hall available to Carver-based civic groups at no cost.

TCU Makes it Official: Titans Will Have a Dance Team

After years of sponsorship by parents and the school district’s community education department, the Tri-City United School Board recently approved its formal backing of a schoolsponsored dance team.

Superintendent Teri Preisler said Minnesota State High School League and district criteria for creation of an activity support the school board sanctioning of a dance team. She noted there is ample support for participation in the team, based on student surveys.

Tri-City United represents the communities of Montgomery, Lonsdale and Le Center.

Preisler pointed to Belle Plaine, a school of similar size and fee structure as TCU High School with a dance team, the Montgomery Messenger recently reported. The new team will cost the district about $8,900 next year.

Earlier this year, the TCU team participated in a dance

competition at New Prague as an exhibition. Feedback from other teams indicated TCU was competitive with other formally school-sponsored dance teams.

TCU is not significantly concerned the addition of a dance will impact participation in other sports since the school district has offered it through community education. Preisler said other area schools have indicated preliminary interested in joining TCU dance on a cooperative basis.

The same survey also indicated solid interest in gymnastics, soccer and lacrosse, said Greg Feddema, TCU’s activities director.

The timing of the board’s decision is important since the Minnesota River Conference is open to adding TCU to conference membership and the 201617 schedule, Preisler said. MRC teams compete three times a season in high kick and jazz competitions.

Cassie Koch Steps Down as Belle Plaine Volleyball Coach

by Dan Ruud After five conference crowns, four section titles and one state championship in her six years as head coach of the Belle Plaine High School volleyball team, Cassie Koch has resigned. Her resignation comes just four months after leading the program to its first state championship this past November.

Koch, who works for the Scott County Sheriff’s Office, provided the Herald with the following statement on Monday.

“I submitted my resignation after confirming my husband and I are expecting our second child in September. BPHS has always been flexible and supportive of my needs away from the court, but it was ultimately time for me to take back the time I dedicate to the program year-round and dedicate it to my growing family.

I have had nothing short of a fulfilling experience as head coach for the past six seasons,” Koch continued. “I had the opportunity to coach several outstanding young women with superior talent. I thank them all for committing to my coaching philosophy and representing their community with class.

Concluding last season with a state championship is obviously a milestone we’ve been seeking for some time. As hard

as it is to depart after that, I do feel a sense of satisfaction that conveniently matches the circumstances of my personal life.

The time is just right for me.

“Lastly, I want to thank my coaching staff that have all been with me for my entire coaching career, as well as BPHS administration and the community for genuinely supporting me and the program for the past several years.”

Koch led the Tigers to Minnesota River Conference championships during her first two seasons as head coach (2010 and 2011) with records of 7-0.

Belle Plaine was third in 2012 but won the section title and finished fourth at state that season.

Over the next three years, the Tigers won the conference and section championships each season, becoming state consolation champs in 2013, third at state in 2014 and state champs last year. Koch’s record in the MRC in six seasons was 38-3.

Her overall record was 149-51.

The school district is currently advertising for Koch’s replacement. More information about the position is available on the district’s website.

Playing Days Koch, then Wolpern, finished her high school volleyball ca-

reer at BPHS in the fall of 2002 as one of the most accomplished prep players in U.S. history. She set the national kills record her senior year and was selected all-state multiple times. Koch (Wolpern) was named the MRC most valuable player three times and was all-conference from eighth grade through her senior year.

She led Belle Plaine to the state consolation title as a junior. As a sophomore, she helped the Tigers finish fourth at state.

Koch attended the University of San Diego on a volleyball scholarship in the fall of 2003 before transferring to Minnesota State University, Mankato, where she was one of the Mavericks’ top players the remainder of her collegiate career.

She Will be Missed “Cassie has been an iconic piece of Belle Plaine sports history and we are extremely fortunate to have shared in that success,” said BPHS Activities Director Chad Eischens. “Cassie is so much more than a coach to our volleyball players. She understands that there is life after sports and her focus is on preparing these young ladies to be the best people they can be in their time at BPHS and out in the real world. Her exemplary leadership will be sorely missed both on and off the court.”

Spring Sports Previews Next Wednesday Previews and photos for Belle The BPHS boys’ and girls’ Plaine High School spring track and field teams were sports teams will be published scheduled to begin the spring in next Wednesday’s (April 6) season at the annual Minnesota Herald.

River Conference Indoor Meet at Minnesota State University Mankato. The meet took place Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press.

This is one example of what little libraries look like.

Belle Plaine Girl (continued from page 1)

We collected blankets, books, some toys and wrote encouraging notes,” Elissa said.

She went on to explain that her dad, Tim, who is a carpenter, will assist her in building the little library, which will be 3 feet high, 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep. She’s also overseeing the fund-raising and book drive for the project, which will include books “for all ages.” She will also continually monitor the little library to make sure its inventory stays intact.

“I will be keeping the books (as many that will fit) in the library and hopefully people will return the ones they borrow. If they like the book, they may keep it as long as they follow the little library rule and donate two books in return,” Elissa told the council.

She added that she and her mother had already been in contact with city staff, and that the public works department will provide the post for her little library.

Elissa and her parents got the

idea for the project from their former neighbors, Tim and Holli Berge, who built a little library and established it on their front lawn in 2012. The Berges have since moved and took their library with them, leaving Belle Plaine without one at this time.

But that’s about to change. In fact, Belle Plaine will likely have two little libraries soon as some of the younger Girl Scouts from the local program are combining on a project that is proposed to establish a little library at Heritage Square Park on the other side of Highway 169.

According to littlefreelibrary. org, the mission of such libraries is “to promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide and to build a sense of community as we share skills, creativity and wisdom across generations. There are over 36,000 Little Free Library book exchanges around the world, bringing curbside literacy home and sharing millions of books annually.”

Minnesotans (from left) Kyle Peterson, Cory Klein (a 2003 graduate of BPHS), David Vee, Tim Loes and Rob Marshall had their photo taken at a camp during their recent attempt to climb to the summit of Aconcagua, which is located in Argentina and is the highest point in both the Western and Southern hemispheres.

BPHS Grad Takes Up Mountain Climbing Cory Klein, a 2003 graduate of Belle Plaine high School, is only a couple of years into a rigourous new hobby but already is making a mark on it.

Klein, a graduate of the University of North Dakota now living in Robbinsdale, reached the summit of Mount Rainier in Washington state in 2014 through a guide service. The climb took a couple of days.

A few months ago, Klein and a group of his friends attempted to conquer Aconcagua, which is located in Argentina and is the highest point in both the Western and Southern hemispheres.

“The trip was scheduled to take 14 days to reach the summit but the altitude got the best

of me and I had to retreat back down the mountain on day nine,” Klein said. “My bloodoxygen saturation was far too low to have an enjoyable climb and my chances for a successful summit were minimal.

Simple daily functions such as putting on boots became a job and would make me short of breath.”

But Klein didn’t let the need to go back down Aconcagua spoil his vacation.

“After I got back to the city of Mendoza, I was able to go on a white-water rafting adventure, tour the city and enjoy a few wineries in the area . . .

Although I wasn’t able to summit Aconcagua, I learned a lot

about myself and came back a better person from my experience.”

Klein said the quest of “being on top of the world” is what attracted him to mountain climbing, an endeavor he doesn’t plan to give up on. He and some fellow climbers are considering 2017 for their next climb – Mount Elbrus, which is an 18,510-foot dormant volcano in Russia.

“My dream is to be able to attempt all the 7 Summits in the world,” Klein said.

The 7 Summits represent the highest point on each of the seven continents, the granddaddy of which is Nepal’s Mount Everest, Earth’s highest mountain.

Dale and Kristin Schmidt and Deb and Ralph Malz are encouraging people interested in gardening to visit a seminar on straw bale gardening at the Belle Plaine Country Store (820 Main Street E.) in Belle Plaine. The seminar is Tuesday (April 5, 6:30 p.m.).

Straw Bales Make Gardening Easy For Novice, Seasoned Grower Seminar on Growing Hobby at Co-op April 5

Growing up around farms, Deb Malz and her brother Dan Schmidt know all about growing vegetables and plants. But the tandem is promoting a new type of gardening that could appeal to growers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; novice or experienced -- living in town or on the farm.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fairly new hobby known as straw bale gardening. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple concept, one that replaces dirt with a bale of straw.

Growers are spared tilling of soil. Bales of straw can host flowers and vegetables alike, Malz said.

Sound interesting? Genesis Growing Solutions is hosting a free seminar on straw bale gar-

dening Tuesday (April 5, 6:30 p.m.) at the Belle Plaine Country Store (820 Main Street E.).

Joel Karsten, an experienced straw bale gardener, will provide all the information gardeners will need and want.

Malz started straw bale gardening with 36 bales in 2014. Her husband, Ralph, has long used straw for livestock bedding at the family farm in Blakeley Township. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ralph thought I was crazy. My family thought I was crazy,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Today, Schmidt and Ralph Malz grow straw. They grow the straw on dry, sandy soil near Oak Crest Elementary School.

He and his crew harvest the straw in August. Schmidt has a few thousands bales in his barn in Blakeley Township. He sells them to straw bale gardeners for $5 apiece for the first 100 bales.

lowed by the typical lawn fertilizer, the organic materials warm quickly, allowing seeds to get off to a good start, even in the chill of spring or extending the growing season well into autumn. April 15, the ground may still be only 50 degrees.

But after 12 days of treating the straw, the bales are ready to host seeds, Malz said.

Malz learned about straw bale gardening from Deb Swanson, a friend in Chaska a few years ago. She started out with tomato plants and quickly realized the benefits of the early start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was like a pied piper,â&#x20AC;?

Malz said.

Growing Field of Info

She has learned plenty from her friend and others who have tried straw bale gardening.

There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much information published on the topic back then. Today, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of information in books like the one Karsten wrote and online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are learning about it.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of people Googling, a lot of people learning about it,â&#x20AC;? Malz said.

Bales of straw offer several advantages. They are above the ground, a break for people who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle bending over to ground level for gardening work. A 33-inch bale is easier for people to handle, Schmidt said. The bales allow people with sandy or unfavorable soil to grow plants and vegetables.

For people with hectic schedules, Schmidt and Malz recommend a soaker hose with a timer for good results on plants that need plenty of moisture.

Using plastic tarp and T-posts, the heat a composting bale of straw generates inside a tarp tent allows growers a longer season, especially with plants and vegetables sensitive to cold, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can be growing tomatoes in the fall,â&#x20AC;? Schmidt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tomatoes, green beans and lettuce can survive the first frost.â&#x20AC;?

Straw bales and some potting soil can also serve as a medium for growing plants and vegetables with almost no weeds.

Any weeds that sprout can be quickly clipped and eliminated with a blend of vinegar and water, Malz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine gardening without weeds,â&#x20AC;? Schmidt said.

More Easter Greetings Jase and Jackson Schroeder of Belle Plaine, pictured below, were among the dozens of kids who greeted the Easter Bunny prior to Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Easter Egg Hunt outside Emma Krumbeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store. Pictured above are some of the participants who took part in one of several hunts for various age groups.
