Todd Kubinski to Speak Council Rejects Bids for Upgrades Union Square Park Restrooms at Memorial Day Service toProject Far Scott County Veterans Services Director Todd Kubinski will be the guest speaker at next Monday’s annual Memorial Day Program at Veterans Park in Belle Plaine. Kubinski, 50, who currently lives in Apple Valley with his wife and four children, served three years in the U.S. Army (active) and nine years in the U.S. Army Reserves. Kubinski was appointed as an assistant county Veterans Services officer in Hennepin County in 2000 and became the Scott County Veterans Service director in 2005, and was reappointed in 2009. He served as president of the Minnesota Association of County Veterans Services Officers from 201112. Kubinski is no stranger to speaking on Memorial Day. Among those occasions was last year’s observance in Shakopee. He has spoken at a number of veterans-related events through the years. He was asked by Belle Plaine Veterans Club President Maynhardt Bahrke to speak at Belle Plaine’s ceremony this year and he accepted. Monday’s program will begin at 11 a.m. with the introduction by Roger Delgehausen,

Todd Kubinski which will be followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and National Anthem, the latter of which will be sung by Belle Plaine High School student Hannah Burmeister. The Invocation will be provided by Redeemer Lutheran Church Pastor Diane Goulson. Presenting Symbolic Tributes will be Belle Plaine Veterans Club President Maynhardt Bahrke, VFW Commander Larry Ruehling, VFW Auxiliary President Geri Higdon, American Legion Commander Lyle Schultz, American Legion Auxiliary 1st Vice President Chelsea Barta and Sons of

In case of bad weather, the program will be held at Chatfield Elementary School, 330 South Market Street.

“In the Army, If You Wanted It, You Carried It” Sixth-graders at Oak Crest Elementary School recently capped studies on American history with a section on the Civil War. Arn Kind, a former longtime classroom teacher who now contracts to visit schools presenting lifelike presentations, brought a bit of the War Between the States to Belle Plaine Friday (May 16). “In the Army, if you wanted it, you carried it,” he told the students. Kind showed students the variety of uniforms soldiers in the Union and Confederate armies wore, the flags they flew and the types of food they ate. Using cut-out rifles, he showed them the steps infantrymen had to follow to shoot. A good soldier, Kind said, could load and shoot his rifle three times in one minute.

More Costly Than Expected

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine City Council acknowledges that something needs to be done to improve the decades-old restroom facility at Union Square Park, which also services the Tiger Park baseball facility. But at what cost? City staff and the council were both surprised to learn recently that the proposed project, which was hoped to be completed prior to Bar-B-Q Days and the state amateur baseball tournament this summer, would cost far more than expected. The council unanimously voted not to award the bid for the project to either of the three bidders, which included Crosby Construction ($130,680), CM Construction ($144,800) and Ebert Construction ($173,800). The city had set aside $50,000 for the project and budgeted $20,000 in the capital fund. Public Works Superintendent Al Fahey said the restroom refurbishing plan was designed by an architectural firm hired by the city earlier this year. The improvements the council envisioned were put into the plan. As for the higher than expected cost of the project, Fahey told the council he too was surprised by the bids, but that when it comes to commercial restrooms, there are a lot of added expenses, including the need for stronger built toilets and sinks that can better withstand the pressures of public use and vandalism. A long list of other factors also go into the design of a public restroom, including meeting government codes, etc. Fahey also said the Union Square Park restroom facility is actually four restrooms in one building (one men’s and one women’s on both the park and baseball field sides). During Bar-B-Q Days, Fahey said public works removes the doors that separate the baseball and park sides of the facility to make them appear as just two restrooms. He added that the entire facility is about double the size of the one being proposed for the high school football, tennis and track and field complexes near Oak Crest Elementary School, the estimated cost of which is a little under $60,000.

Council Member Paul Chard said he recently attended a wedding at Union Square Park and used the word “disgrace” when describing the restrooms that the people had to use. “Those bathrooms are shot,” said Chard, adding that there are not many people in Belle Plaine who don’t use the facility at least once a year, most notably baseball games and Bar-B-Q Days. Still, Chard voted no to refurbishing the bathrooms at the current price tag. “I could almost build a house for that (cost),” commented Council Member Gary Trost. Mayor Mike Pingalore asked Interim City Administrator/Finance Director Dawn Meyer if the city find another $60,000? Meyer said you can’t just find $60,000. It would have to come from other sources, all of which would have impacts. The council will readdress the Union Square Park restroom facility, perhaps as early as its next workshop and/or regular meeting on June 2. In the mean-

time, staff has been directed to draft a formal resolution rejecting the three bids that were received for the project. In other business Monday night, the council unanimously authorized the purchase of five squad car laptop computers for the Belle Plaine Police Department. The cost of the upgraded laptops is $24,250. The quote does not include set up and installation. Funds for the purchase will come from lawful gambling contributions for public safety expenses. *Unanimously approved the hiring of Nicole Jensen as a police administrative assistant at a salary of $17.32 per hour, effective May 27. Jensen will replace Cheryl Bryce, who resigned last month. Four applicants were interviewed for the job. *Unanimously awarded the bid for the city’s 2014 seal coat project to Person Brothers Inc.

BPHS Adds to MRC Titles Red Cross Belle Plaine High School last week added three more Minnesota River Conference sports championships to its already long list of MRC titles during the 2013-14 school year. Included were baseball, as well as both boys’ and girls’ outdoor track and field. That brings to a total of 10 conference championships for Belle Plaine out of a possible 16, all of which are now determined. Winning titles in the fall for Belle Plaine were football (tied), volleyball, tennis and girls’ cross country. In the winter it was the Scott West wrestling team, which also included

Jordan. This spring it was baseball, which was preceded by championships from both the boys’ and girls’ track and field teams, which also claimed both the indoor titles in March. Sharing the football championship with the Tigers in the fall were Tri-City United and Watertown-Mayer. The other MRC champions in 2013-14 were Jordan (boys cross country), Mayer Lutheran (boys basketball), Jordan and Norwood Young America (tied/ girls basketball), Le SueurHenderson and Norwood Young America (tied/softball), Jordan (girls golf) and Mayer Lutheran (boys golf).

Holding Blood Drive in B.P. Today

The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be in Belle Plaine for a blood drive at the Vets Club Wednesday, May 21. Appointments are available between 1 and 7 p.m. The Vets Club is at 221 Meridian Street N. People interested in donating blood should call 1-800733-2767 to make an appointment. Heavy fog was a major contributor to this semi tractor trailer driving into a farm field Tuesday morning where Scott County Road 64 forms a T intersection with Scott County Road 59 a few miles outside Belle Plaine. Nearby residents who were watching this truck be pulled out of the field agreed that Scott County needs to do something because mishaps such as this are way too common at the intersection.

Le Sueur City Council OKs $2 Million for Community Center

Le Sueur is about to spend over $2 million to repair the roof and other related items at its community center. The city council recently voted in favor of improvements that include the roof, new woodframed bleachers, storm sewers, fire sprinklers, ice arena dehumidification, new players boxes, acoustic tile on the ceiling of one of the meeting rooms and an additional auxiliary room. The structural repairs

Having already spent almost all of the $90,000 it planned to spend on improvements to the Mini Met as Jordan and Belle Plaine prepare to host the state amateur baseball tournament later this summer, the city is in a pickle having learned the grandstand needs improvements before the tournament. A structural engineer recently raised concerns about the ability of the grandstand at the historic ballpark to safely seat fans. The city council recently voted to spend up to $12,000 on a structural analysis of the grandstand, a vote likely to be rescinded, the Jordan Independent recently reported. Instead, the city is looking at

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a hike of over 2 percent that will raise the same amount of money for the city. St. Peter needs the additional revenue to erase the red ink in its electricity fund. At the end of 2013, the fund was over $56,300 below where the city says it should be. The city is trying to reestablish a positive fund balance in the electricity fund. St. Peter wants the fundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reserves to be at $1.2 million or more. The fundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current fund balance is just under $150,000. St. Peter is looking for a healthy fund balance because it is planning several large capital purchases later this year.

Rather than sock homeowners with electric rate increases, the St. Peter City Council recently decided the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest commercial and industrial customers would better handle the burden. The city council had considered raising municipal electricity rates by $.0011 to $.0025 for all electric users in St. Peter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an increase of 1.7 percent that would have raised $75,000 in 2014 and $150,000 in 2015, the St. Peter Herald recently reported. Instead, the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increase means the largest cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses and industrial clients will increase by $.0024

Minus Four Townships, RS Fiber Optics Line Moving Forward

Farmers Market Corner Last Wednesday was another great Belle Plaine Farmers Market day. The forecast is looking good for this week. You never know what shows up so check us out! Barb had lots of beautiful starter plants. She has a great variety of tomatoes, peppers and herbs. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling adventurous, she is the person to talk to. She also has shiitake mushrooms, which go great on the grill or in salads. Sonja again had radishes and fresh lettuce. Of course thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like Bevâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buns to brighten your day. Early word on morel mushrooms is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still small but this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sunshine should bring them out. Use a mesh bag while hunting so you spread the spores for next year. The spring birds are back and hungry. Orioles love jelly and

citrus fruits. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also drink a sugar mixture that works great for hummingbirds, too. Heat up one cup of sugar to four cups of water and add a little food coloring. Feeders can be found at several local businesses. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for vendors. Homemade and homegrown items are welcome. Try us out, your first week is free! Follow us on Facebook, where we post various seasonal recipes and other fun ideas. The Belle Plaine Farmers Market is held every Wednesday from 3:30-6:30 p.m. May through Oct. 15 at Court Square Park. Vendors are welcome! You can like us on Facebook for seasonal information and recipes. For more information, contact Lisa Fahey at 952-8735665 or Diane Skelley, 952873-2467.

In 2010, the Society completed a five-year project to collect Scott County residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories from the 1930s to the 1950s. More than 160 interviews were completed; several by World War II veterans. The Shakopee Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Correctional Institution transcribed the interviews, and university interns digitized and catalogued them. These moving stories were used to create an award-winning exhibit and published in the book

wednesday, May 21, 2014

On several occasions, we have talked about e-readers, electronic devices that allow you to read eBooks, or electronic books, in this column. Nooks, Kindles, Android, and iPad tablet type devices make up the bulk of the devices being used. Telephones and computers are also used for eBooks. Some people like them very much others have tried them but gone back to books.It is a personal choice and your lifestyle may have much to do with your preference. In some cases, people have tried ereaders early on and did not care for them. I would suggest that you keep an open mind and try one again. Ereaders have evolved significantly and the price on the simpler ones has come down while the feature set and capabilities of the more upscale ones have grown. Many of the early ones were simply ahead of their time. Their formats were limited and maybe never even became popular. The early ones often were bigger, heavier, and could not be upgraded. The newer ones get upgrades over the internet offering you newer features as time goes by. They have come a long way forward. In the past few weeks, I introduced you to the new web page for the Scott County Library On your favorite digital devices; I want you to bookmark URL:http://www. scottlib.org in your favorites folder. If you go there, on the lower left hand side of the page, you will see a bright purple(ish) area labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Go Digitalâ&#x20AC;?. Go to the bottom of that box, click on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moreâ&#x20AC;? and learn about eBooks. There is help there to get you going for reading on your phone, tablet, or computer. If you have questions, there are links that get your questions in front of our Scott County digital experts. If it has been a while since you last tried eBooks, it may be time to try again. The technology is more established and it may be a whole new experience for you. One of the things that got me thinking of e-readers or eBooks was an article that I ran into boasting the development of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst e-reader. You cannot buy one. You did pay for it though. Look at the article at URL: http://www. naval-technology.com/features/ featureus-navy-develops-worldsworst-e-reader-4265782/ to see the story. It is called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;NeRDâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Navy e-Reader Deviceâ&#x20AC;?. The NeRD is intended to be a high quality e-Reader but the thing that makes it â&#x20AC;&#x153;the worstâ&#x20AC;? is that many of the features that we know and love on our e-Readers are not available because of the military need for information security and control. I do not know for sure, but I suspect these feature-less specials cost a lot more than the e-Readers we can easily buy for ourselves. (Are these not like the ones we had here at Scott County Library System about 10 years ago before all these new e-Readers came out?) Please give the web-page a try look it all over. It enables us to help you more. It enables you to make use of your library on a 24/7 basis. Our summer hours begin this Saturday May 24. We are closed here in Belle Plaine on Saturdays through Labor Day. This is Memorial Day weekend and all Scott County libraries will be closed on Sunday and Monday. Continuing with this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article theme, keep in mind that you can download eBooks even when the libraries are closed. We are working on the 2014 Summer Reading BookAWocky program. Stop in or go online for information.

Townships of Faxon Included, Jessenland Out

With support of most the cities and townships in its service area in Renville and Sibley counties, the Renville-Sibley fiber optics project is headed toward another important decision point later this summer that will decide the build-out of the project. Through a fiber optic line, residents in participating cities and townships in the two counties can receive Internet, TV and/or telephone services beginning in 2016. Next month, the joint powers board and the RS Fiber Cooperative Directors will begin work on finalizing the business plan and costs that includes the cities and townships that agreed to stay in the project. With that set, the board of directors can hold a public hearing on the issuance of a $15 million general obligation tax abatement bond that will help fund the approximately $55 million project. The rest of the financing will come through an additional approximately $40 million in loans to build and operate the network. The four townships that will not participate in the project reduces the cost by about $1.9 million, said Mark Erickson, Winthropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city administrator and Economic Development Authority (EDA) director. He is also the project coordinator for the fiber coop board, an unpaid position. Last month, cities and townships in the two counties had to

indicate if they were willing to join a joint powers board as a preliminary indication of support for the project. Later this summer, cities and townships will be able to pull out of the project once they learn the exact costs of the project and their obligations for debt service on the financing. If they leave the project, the city or township will only be on the hook for legal fees related to removing them from the joint powers board agreements.

Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s In, Out

So far, city councils in Green Isle, New Auburn, Gaylord, Winthtrop, Buffalo, Lake, Fairfax, Gibbon, Stewart, Brownton and Lafayette voted to join the joint powers board. Thirteen of Sibley Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17 townships OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d partnership so far. They include Faxon, Washington Lake, Henderson, Arlington, Sibley, Moltke, Severance, Transit, Alfsborg, Bismarck, New Auburn, Kelso and Grafton townships. All four Renville County townships in the service area â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bandon, Wellington, Cairo and Camp townships â&#x20AC;&#x201C; signed on to the joint powers board. The cities of Henderson and Arlington rejected the plan back in 2012 and recently renewed their positions to stay out of the project. The four townships that will not join the board, and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the line available to their residents, include Jessenland, Green Isle, Cornish and Dryden townships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real show of support,â&#x20AC;? Erickson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have the support of 17 of 21 townships and all 10 cities is

great.â&#x20AC;? A council or town board that opts not to participate in the joint powers agreement will not be included when the fiber line is put into the ground. Extending the line retroactively would be prohibitively expensive, a cost born solely by that respective townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents, said Denny Schultz, a member of the RS Fiber Coop Board. The cities in Renville and Sibley counties (excluding Henderson and Arlington) face potential maximum debt allocation of $8.75 million if they all participate and the project fails to generate the required revenue. Sibley Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participating townships could be on the hook for no more than $5.5 million cumulatively if they all participate and the project fails. The four townships in rural Renville County face a $723,040 debt allocation. But supporters of the project believe the proposal will not fail. They cite the number of non-binding commitment cards and the idea that the service offers far better Internet service and more reliable TV service. Earlier this spring, during a meeting in Green Isle, Fiber Coop Board members Denny Schultz and Mark Brandt told area residents between 40 and 45 percent of the people returning the pledge cards support the project and are interested in two of the three services, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe the risk (of failure) is minimal,â&#x20AC;? Brandt told the audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really no way it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be successful,â&#x20AC;? Schultz said.

90 Years Ago (1924)

OLP Grads A ceremony and mass was held May 17, 1984 at Our Lady of the Prairie in Belle Plaine for 11 graduating sixth grade students. Pictured in the front row, from left, are Glen Jeurissen, Scott Walerius, Joe Hoelz and Jeff Klehr. In the back row are Father Roger, Jenny Klehr, Jody Houle, Susan Gregory, Chris Anderson, Kris Giesen, Kristin Witt, Jody Fahey and Principal Tom Mayerhofer. Ninety-five seniors were set to graduate from Belle Plaine High School at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 27. Valedictorian Doreen Taylor would give the high honor speech. Bernadette Gregory would give the honor speech. Ann Manthe would speak on the motto â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only as far as we seek can we go.â&#x20AC;? The Belle Plaine School Board finalized the 1984-85 budget reductions totaling $73,416. Among the biggest of those reductions was elimination of the junior-senior high home economics teacher ($18,500) and vocal music instructor ($13,556). Incumbents Don Koepp and Pat Schwartz were reelected to the Belle Plaine School Board. Koepp received 48 votes and Schwartz 45. They had no opposition on the ballot. Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial Day observance would be held on Monday that year. The past number of years Memorial Day was observed a day early in Belle Plaine, following Sunday morning church services. Another departure from tradition that year prompted the change. BPHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commencement exercises would be held on Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. Sen. Robert Schmitz would be the main speaker at the Memorial Day Program. Helen McCue would end her 26-year teaching career that month. McCue, who lived in Belle Plaine with her husband, Emmett, had spent 10 of those years teaching at Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic School. A burglary at the equipment shed near the track field was reported. A starter pistol and two boxes of .22 caliber blanks, worth $58, were taken. The police were continuing to investigate the incident and had several possible suspects.

Mrs. Dickenson was born to William and Bridget (Fogarty) Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien in Belle Plaine. She later married Paul Dickenson. Louise M. Krant, 87, of Belle Plaine, passed away at the Lu-

theran Home on May 18. She was born on Oct. 25, 1896 in Le Sueur County to Franklin C. and Caroline (Scheffert) Dressel. On Oct. 31, 1930, she married Walter Krant at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Henderson. More than 800 entrants were expected to participate in the 20th annual Memorial Day Horse Show sponsored by the Minnesota Valley Riders. The event would be held at the Scott County Fairgrounds starting at 8:30 a.m. The BPHS varsity boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball and football teams would be under the direction of new head coaches. The appointment of Randy Carlson as the basketball coach was approved by the school board at its May 15 meeting. Carlson, who lived in Belle Plaine, would continue to teach math at Arlington High School. Carlson would replace Dan Dressen, who had coached the team for nine years. Meanwhile, Dale Pudlitzke was appointed coach of the football team, replacing Roy Henderson, who coached the Tigers for 19 years. Henderson resigned the position at the end of the 1983 football season. Pudlitzke and his wife, Bea, operated Mr. Pudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cafe on Highway 169 in Belle Plaine. The BPHS softball team defeated Le Center 9-7 in District 13 play and would now advance to face Montgomery/Lonsdale in the semifinals. Against Le Center, Melissa Malz, Barb Weirke and Judy Koepp each had a triple. The Tiger baseball team dropped a doubleheader to Le Sueur by scores of 3-0 and 13-3. The Tigers then bounced back to beat Watertown 7-1 in a nonconference game. Paul Woestehoff had a single and a triple against Watertown. Belle Plaine got the No. 5 seed for the District 13 Tournament and would take on No. 4 seed St. Peter in the quarterfinals. Laurie Wolpern led Belle Plaine in scoring at the conference track and field meet, including winning the high jump with a height of 5-3. The town baseball team split two games that week, defeat-

ing Union 14-4 and losing to Jordan 6-3.

60 Years Ago (1954)

The salutatory was given by Barbara Wilson and the valedictory by Mary Stoppelmann. George Wherley bought Earl Olsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direct service station. Mr. Wherley continued his station at Cologne. The first laying of concrete on the divided four-lane section of 169 southwest of Belle Plaine started that week, on the short section south of the Le Sueur County line. Gerhard V. Mellgren, West Union, died at a hospital in Minneapolis at the age of 72. The old frame salt shed and adjoining two-story warehouse, owned by A.A. Hahn west of the Hahn store, was torn down. The site was to be available for future building when the need arose. Vincent Brown died at the Faribault hospital at the age of 51.

Lester Tesch and wife, who left the following day for Fort Knox, Ky. A/2c Armin D. Koepp, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Koepp, was injured in an airplane crash 50 miles northwest of San Antonio, Texas. Two of his companions in the plane were killed, another injured. Many relatives and friends gathered in honor of the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dahlke. The new Zion Church of Benton Township was dedicated that week. Pastor John E. Melchert conducted the ceremony. A number of relatives and friends helped Mr. and Mrs. John Krueger celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. Lightning struck a tree at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Buszmann seconds after their eldest son, John, had passed underneath it in the family car. The village of Cologne was elated upon securing the National Skat Tournament.

In the Poppy Sale that week, the sum of $50 was realized. Kathleen Lynch led all the girls in the amount of her sales. Sacred Heart Church celebrated its 50th anniversary. The building was dedicated in 1874. Archbishop Austin Dowling was out from St. Paul to preach the sermon at the Jubilee Mass. A double wedding took place at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lutheran Church when Ida and Minnie Latzke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Latzke, were the brides, the former marrying Fred Nuessmeier and the latter Fred Krentz. A big wedding reception was held at the Latzke farm home. All the school faculty with the exception of two members announced intention to return to Belle Plaine the next term and signed contracts to do so. Friends and relatives gave Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dahlke a big surprise party on their 20th anniversary. Miss N. Dooley, former Belle Plaine girl, was married at Hutchinson to Thomas Whalen of Forest City. In a league game, Belle Plaine swamped Waconia 9-1, Mellgren pitching for Belle Plaine.

120 Years Ago (1894)

There was a big rush to sell wheat and it was coming into the local market at the rate of 5,000 bushels a day. The market was 55 cents. The Belle Plaine brickyard was being operated that season by Daughs & Wiest of Blakeley, who had a crew of 25 to 30 men. The bicycle craze was running strong. Every young man in town considered he had to have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wheel,â&#x20AC;? and the young women were beginning to appear on â&#x20AC;&#x153;lady bikes,â&#x20AC;? Albert Schmittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence near the brewery took fire and burned to the ground.

Dear Editor, If you are reading this you have some connection to the City of Belle Plaine - maybe you are a resident, a former resident, have family in town, or numerous other possibilities. In any event, there is a good chance you have spent some time watching an athletic event in town. Take a moment and consider those experiences, and then consider how a big of a role restrooms played in those experiences - for you and for those involved in the event. As a lifelong member of the city, and an active participant in athletic events during my youth, I can say just how important good facilities can be. Currently only portable restrooms are present at Athletic Complex on East Commerce Drive, near Oak Crest Elementary, which hosts various athletic events throughout the year. Later this spring the Complex will be hosting conference events where many families from around the state will be present. How do the current portable restrooms represent the city of Belle Plaine? The Belle Plaine Lions think we could do better. The Belle Plaine Lions have come up with a solution and are heading a project to build restrooms at the Athletic Complex. The facility has been designed and the $58,000 project has been approved to move forward. This facility will include handicap accessible restrooms that will remain open to walkers, bikers, and others in the area during daytime hours year round.The Lions are unable to fund this project alone and are seeking the assistance of people connected to the community. Financial assistance is needed to help provide a facility the community can have pride in now and in the future. If you would like to help with this project, donations are being collected at The State Bank of Belle Plaine and Cornerstone State Bank. If

If you qualify for any of the positions the City of Jordan has available, there are jobs to be had just up the road from Belle Plaine. Jordan is hiring two new city planners, one dedicated to economic development, thanks to an uptick in permits in the city. The creation of the positions was approved with near unanimity. Councilor Thom Boncher cast the lone dissenting vote. He believes the city is creating too much bureaucracy,

the Jordan Independent recently reported. The city could consider contracting for community development services if it opts against hiring staff. The city is looking for more information on the pros and cons of contracting for services. Other open positions in the city include police sergeant, public works employee, police officer and possibly a city administrator.

Dear Editor, The Belle Plaine Food Shelf will be celebrating its 3rd birthday this coming July. This project has been successful due to the generosity of the people of Belle Plaine. From volunteers, to those who give food and financial donations, everyone has worked together to make the food shelf happen. This past weekend we had a very special donation brought in by a young lady named Savannah. Savannah held a lemonade stand and brought all her proceeds, in an envelope, to the food shelf. I am incredibly proud of this little girl for doing something special for other people who are in need. To her parents I say "congratulations!" You are doing an amazing job with your child, please keep it up! As we enter into the summer months, I encourage other parents to teach their children to give back to their community. Whether it is a donation to the food shelf, a lawn mowing job for a neighbor, or just another random act of kindness for those in need, teach the art of giving back and not expecting something in return. If we can get the young people involved with this, I know the tradition that Belle Plaine has of generously giving to others, will continue for a very long time.

played in Belle Plaine, the Tigers will play on their home field for as long as they stay in the tourney. Holy Family 8, Tigers 2 Holy Family Catholic scored five runs in the top of the fourth inning to break open what was a 3-2 game en route to a six-run nonconference victory at Tiger Park last Tuesday. Chase Emmers started on the hill for Belle Plaine and took the loss after allowing eight runs (seven earned) in 3 2/3 innings. He gave up four hits and walked seven. Relievers Jon Vinkemeier (one-third inning) and Joe Hankins (three innings) held the Fire scoreless the rest of the way. The Tigers had just five hits in the game, with Aaron Bigaouette collecting two of them. Emmers, Ben Wagner and Aaron Mancini had the other hits. “This was a tough game where we did some nice things defensively and at the plate but didn’t make enough big plays early and never got the big hit,” said Tigers coach Pat Schultz. “We left 10 guys on base and need to work on taking advantage of guys on base and create big innings. We need to make sure we are able to deal with adversity and not get down on each other. We just need to continue getting better each day and improving on the little things as we head into playoffs.” Tri-City United 2, Tigers 1 The host Titans made their lone two runs, which were both scored in the first inning, stand up as they limited Belle Plaine to one run and three hits the rest of the way Thursday. Tri-City United, which had just two hits, used two walks and a double to plate its two runs off pitcher Wagner, who lasted 2 2/3 innings before being relieved by Bigaouette due to an injury. “He (Bigaouette) did a great job in relief and retired all 10 batters he faced,” Schultz said. “Jon Vinkemeier filled in defensively and made some nice plays and also earned his first varsity hit. “We hit a lot of balls hard but couldn’t get the hits to fall. We had runners at second and third in the seventh but the TCU shortstop made a great play to rob Cameron Lark of a two-run single,” Schultz continued. Vinkemeier had one of the Tigers’ three hits, stole a base and scored the only run. Dahlke and Dylan O’Brien had the other hits. Sibley East 4, Tigers 0 Weekday showers have brought Saturday morning games for the Tigers this season, and for a third week in a row, Belle Plaine had a 10 a.m. first-pitch Saturday. The Tigers, who had won the previous two Saturdays, fell short this time around as the host Wolverines handed them their first shutout of the season (4-0). “We faced a very tough pitcher in Brody Rodning. He kept

us off balance all game and we never adjusted to his pitches and struck out 15 times, which is not going to allow us to win many games,” Schultz said. “We had a couple hard hit balls but will need to have a better approach and put more balls in play if we see him again in the playoffs. I think seeing him today and getting a better idea of what he’s like will help us. Joe Hankins really battled through seven good innings at a time we really needed it with our pitching running a little low after a busy week.” Hankins allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and four walks. He had four strikeouts. Belle Plaine had just three hits, one apiece by Dahlke, O’Brien and Aiden Ladd. Tigers 17, Sibley East 7 Fortunately for the Tigers there was a second game Saturday at Sibley East in which they scored 17 runs and banged out 19 hits in a 17-7 victory, both season highs for Belle Plaine. “After getting shutout for the first time all year in game one, the boys took out their frustrations with eight first-inning runs. They kept scoring runs all game,” Schultz said. Five Tigers had multi-hit games, led by Emmers with three doubles, five RBI and two runs scored. One of those twobaggers came in the first inning with the bases loaded. Other statistical leaders were Bigaouette (three hits, three runs and two stolen bases); Dahlke (three hits, including two doubles and a RBI); Ryan Bremseth-Vining (three hits, two runs, a RBI and stolen base); and Wagner (two hits, including a double and two RBI). Ladd pitched 4 2/3 innings to get the win, giving up seven runs (three earned) on eight hits. Vinkemeier came on in relief with the bases loaded and got the out to end what was a five-run rally by the Wolverines. Vinkemeier closed the game with two more shutout innings. “The boys really responded well after a very tough game one,” Schultz said. “Hopefully, we continue the great hitting we saw in game two into the playoffs. The win also gave us the outright MRC championship for the first time since 2001. This is well deserved as the guys worked very hard at being ready to go each game and practice, and the title is a result of that hard work and focus every day.” Coach Schultz was the Tigers catcher when they won the title 13 years ago.

The professor said it is rare for a student to return after those circumstances. Tim not only got his major but continued on to accomplish his masters in engineering this spring! Tim O’Connell, one of St. Thomas’s finest, brought the whole St. Thomas community together in July of 2007, after his last tour of duty just by making it home. Joe Grote has won the heart of Emily O’Connell. Congratulations to them on their engagement. St. Thomas farmers were finally getting in the fields; Monday’s downpour put a damper on that for a little awhile. Jim Flaschpeter, Tom and Davie Connelly, Max Sullivan and Milt Lowe, Mickey Sullivan and a friend, Dave and Carol Preuhs were among those who enjoyed the surprise party celebrating Randy Guertin’s 30th birthday, Saturday at the L e Sueur County Pioneer Power Showgrounds. Many guests came dressed like Randy with overalls, moustaches, hard hats or welding hats, Doc O’Connell, Mickey Smith, Mike O’Brien, Chris Wilke, John and Dorothy Luskey, Joan Wacker, Tom Goetzinger and Tom Graham were part of the crowd, who enjoyed Charlie More‘s Band with Mary Schwartz as they entertained, on the Patio in Le Sueur in front of the Green Mill and The Bar Sunday afternoon. This writer had the opportunity to tour her ancestral home, built in 1904 by her great-grandfather, Edward (1861-1931) and called “the Castle” by generations of family before. It is a smaller,

warmer, yet vaguely similar to the Bean Mansion in New Prague, with very little structural change. It’s nice to know some things don’t change. A big family picture taken at the last reunion and the safe belonging to Timothy Shea (1827-1918) welcomes guests as they enter the house. The layers of wallpaper are gone, and the walls are now a clean white, trimmed with soft beige around doors and floorboards/ “mopboards”. The doors are all still original. Saw the rooms where my great-grandmother and great-great-grandfather, Tim Shea, spent their last years, touched the same black glass knobs on the doors. Stepped into the rooms where most of our time was spent, visiting greatgrandma (1865-1956) years ago. Family stories came flooding back in my mind, the spot where little Eddie (1902-1903) drowned in the tub, the dining room where greatgrandma carried the 11-monthold infant, and the garden a few feet away where she had been chasing pigs from at the time. The same dining room where Delia (1906-1941) had surgery. Neighbors talked of seeing the doctor’s horse and cart standing at the hitching post in the yard all day. “The boys’ room” at the top of the second staircase in the back where Timmy (1900-1906) and John P. (1898-1987) slept. After Timmy passed away, John P. slept there alone. A few weeks later, they lost Tommy (1904-1906) both died due to pneumonia. In the boys room, years later, a napping Emmett (1912-1941) refused to leave during a severe storm to go to the basement at his older brother Denny’s urging, because “there ain’t no storm going to blow this big house down!” If these walls could talk… My host had other humorous stories of growing up there. I appreciate Bruce and Cathy, the wonderful tour guides, care-takers, and owners of our St. Thomas ancestral home. Have a great week, folks.

Growing Chaska School District Eyeing Tough Options In a school district that expects far more elementary students than it can easily accommodate in the years to come, the Chaska-based Eastern Carver County School District is studying three options â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;cram,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;shuffleâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;build.â&#x20AC;? The district, which includes East Union Elementary School just nine miles northeast of Belle Plaine, expects between 400 and 700 new elementary students by the start of the 2018-19 school year. The districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in all-day kindergarten is only exacerbating the crowding, the Chaska Herald recently reported. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;cramâ&#x20AC;? option involves changing elementary school boundaries, busing students to where room exists and larger

class sizes overall. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;shuffle optionâ&#x20AC;? would move fifth-graders out of the most crowded elementary schools into the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle schools. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;buildâ&#x20AC;? option calls for the construction of a new elementary school plus an additional six classrooms at two existing schools. Estimated price tag: $23 million. The districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high schools are also expected to become more crowded. High school enrollment in the district is expected to climb by 205 students by 2018-19. After gathering feedback from district residents, a task force will offer a recommendation to the school board next month.

Thanks to Mrs. Gorton and Ms. Velzke for coordinating and directing the wonderful choir concert on Monday night for students in grades 5-12. There was great music performed by all grade levels with many soloists performing throughout the evening. The show concluded with a mass choir of nearly 400 singers. Great job everyone! Next week our concert band performs in its annual Concert in the Park on Wednesday, May 28 at 6 p.m. With the weather beginning to feel a little more like spring, please join everyone in the Park next Wednesday for a great show. Our Junior High Drama Department will be presenting Beauty and the Beast next Friday and Saturday, May 30 and 31. Performance times are 7 p.m. on Friday and 2 p.m. on Saturday at the Performing Arts Center at the District Center. Our athletes had a great week as conference championships were claimed in three sports. Our baseball team earned its first conference championship in over 11 years. With one game remaining, they sit on top of the conference with an 11-2 record. They also have the #1 seed in the sub-section tournament and will begin tournament action on Saturday at home vs. LeSueurHenderson. Congratulations on a great season so far and good luck in the play-offs. Our boys and girls track teams captured Minnesota River Conference championships as well as they hosted the Conference Track Meet last Thursday. The girls team has now won the Conference Title for ten consecutive years and the boys have started their own streak with three consecutive titles as well. Great job everyone and good luck to both teams as they begin sub-section competition on Thursday at Glencoe. Good luck to our softball team as they begin play this Tuesday hosting Glencoe-Silver Lake on Tuesday afternoon. And finally, good luck to our boys and girls golf teams as they host subsection play next Tuesday. Congratulations on the fine seasons so far everyone and best of luck in tournament play. The Minnesota Legislature wrapped up the session late last week and there were several changes that will impact MN public schools. Here is a list of some of the major education highlights of the session: * Passed the Anti-Bullying Law that will go into effect on July 1. * Merged the Duluth Teachers pension fund into the Minnesota Teachers Retirement Association in an effort to provide more long-term viability to the fund. * Increased the general education revenue formula by $25 per pupil unit for all schools. This will provide approximately $44,000 in new revenue to Belle Plaine Schools. * Provided some additional funding on a one-time basis for implementation of the teacher evaluation process that was previously legislated. Revenue to Belle Plaine Schools will be approximately $33,000 this coming year. * Provided additional assistance for early learning programs with scholarships for pre-school programming and additional funding for Early Childhood Family Education and School Readiness. * Provided additional revenue for the Legal hotNotices lunch program to ensure that reduced price meal recipients receive meals each and every day.

Cologne City Council Eyeing the Council Rejects Bids for Upgrades to Union Square Park Restrooms Future, Sets Planning Workshop

More businesses? Improved transportation? Cologne City Administrator John Hendel asked the council Monday night (May 19) what big picture tasks he should work on over the next few years besides the day-today matters. Next month, the council and city staff will meet informally and discuss the possibilities. The city council scheduled a workshop for Monday, June 16, 5:30 p.m. The council will conduct a business meeting at 7 p.m. Bringing more businesses to Cologne seemed to pique the interest of city councilors. But Cologne lacks enough available tracts of land to use as a landing spot for any businesses looking to relocate. Mayor Matt Lein noted the city had two businesses looking at Cologne last year. One, Waconia Manufacturing, went to Norwood Young America because the city had available land, said Councilor Scott Williams. Cologne has been operating with a series of goals previous city councils set and affirmed over the past half-dozen years. Those goals include planning and preparing for an industrial park, revitalizing downtown Cologne, bring a public elementary school to Cologne, enhance citizens’ sense of community, and improve the city’s financial stability. Three of those goals – the industrial park, the public

elementary school and financial stability have been accomplished, Lein said. The city makes ongoing efforts to improve the downtown area and improve residents’ sense of community through community events like Glad Days and other activities like the summer drive-in theater, he said.

CR 36 Water Main

The city council approved sending the County Road 36 water main replacement project out for bids Monday night. The bids are expected back next month. The proposed project includes replacing an aging, undersized water main with newer, larger 10- and 12-inch pipes and completing the loop with the rest of the city system. The lack of a loop creates stale-tasting drinking water with a rusty tint to it. Cologne hasn’t been able to complete the loop because it can’t run a water main under Highway 212 or under the Twin Cities & Western railroad line, Jake Saulsbury, the city’s contract engineer from Bolton & Menk Inc. wrote in a memo to the council last fall. But the city and railroad recently reached an accord on a pipeline below the line. The old 6-inch line has suffered four breaks in the past 4½ years. Each repair has cost between $3,500 and $4,000.

What’s Happening

The completed loop would improve water quality for houses and businesses and a more reliable flow for fire protection for the larger area, Saulsbury said. He and the council want to take on the job if bids are favorable. But with a price tag in the neighborhood of $560,000, the city hasn’t been able to come up with the money. Cologne recently learned the project qualified for a Minnesota Public Financing Agency (MPFA) loan, something it had not done previously. The city and MPFA are still working on details of the financing.

Public Works Building Update

Having already OK’d spending up to $36,345 on a new roof for its public works building, the Cologne City Council knows the building still has other maintenance needs that will likely elevate the cost of needed repairs. Monday, the city council indicated support for continued improvements in the building. The facility needs tuck pointing and exterior painting to protect the exterior brick walls once the roof repairs are completed. Preliminarily, those two projects might cost as much as $12,000. The council directed Hendel to seek the best possible prices for the work. Hendel expects to report back to the council at its first meeting in June. The building was last painted between 12 and 15 years ago, Hendel said. The city is willing to invest in the building it bought from Carver County 12 years ago for $150,000. Replacing it, Lein said, would likely cost approximately $300,000. In other action at the May 19 meeting, the Cologne City Council: • Paid bills totaling $84,644.48. • Heard a report from Roger Storms on the Carver County Community Foundation and community fund. • Passed a resolution accepting a $2,514 donation from the Cologne Hollanders baseball club. • Approved a pipeline license agreement between the city and Twin Cities & Western Railroad Company.

at the low base bid of $64,271. The other bids received were from Allied Blacktop Company ($66,092) and Asphalt Surface Tech Corp. ($68,352). The project is included in the city’s 2014 budget. *Unanimously authorized staff to proceed with a grant application to Scott County Economic Development for a business retention and expansion program. The maximum grant award is $30,000 towards activities such as marketing programs, subsidy programs, business surveys and creation of development incentive programs, etc. The grant would cover half of the program costs, with the city covering the other half along with any project partners. Community Development Director Chelsea Alger reported that the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce has expressed a willingness to assist in funding. The application deadline is June 2. *Accepted a donation of $2,225 from the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce/Festivals and Events for electrical upgrades to the shelter at Court Square Park. The total cost of the upgrades is $3,725, the remainder of which will come from the city’s park fund ($1,000) and public works line item ($500). *Unanimously approved the hiring of 29 lifeguards and water safety instructors (WSIs) for the 2014 Belle Plaine Municipal Swimming Pool season. Twenty of those hired are returning lifeguards/WSIs, all of whom will receive 25 cents per hour more than their wage last year. New lifeguards will receive $7.25 per hour. On Aug. 1, all wages will be increased to meet the minimum wage law. The pool is scheduled to open June 6. Interim City Administrator Dawn Meyer reported that City Hall will have extended hours on June 3, 9 and 16 until 7 p.m.; June 11 until 8 p.m.; and June 14 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for seasonal pool pass purchases and photos. *Unanimously approved a facade improvement loan for the Belle Plaine Food Shelf at 128

Mayo Health System in N.P. Has High Trauma Designation The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) recently designated Mayo Clinic Health System in New Prague as a level 4 trauma hospital. Mayo Clinic Health System in New Prague and staff voluntarily participated in the intense designation process to become part of Minnesota’s statewide trauma system. The process included an outside review of the hospital’s resources and capabilities to care for trauma patients. Mayo Clinic Health System in New Prague met standards of commitment, clinical and equipment resources, and staff training. The hospital also participates in a continuous performance improvement process. “Trauma designation demonstrates the state’s recognition of our hospital’s commitment to state-of-the-art trauma care in New Prague,” says Eric Gage, M.D., Emergency Department medical director at Mayo Clinic Health System in New Prague. “The designation shows that we are moving forward, continually updating our technology, training and processes to provide the best possible care for our community.” For a severely injured person, the time between sustaining an injury and receiving definitive care is the most important predictor of survival — the “golden” hour. The chance of survival diminishes with time; however, a trauma system enhances the chance of survival

regardless of proximity to an urban trauma hospital. “Trauma is the third leading cause of death in Minnesota,” says Minnesota Commissioner of Health Dr. Edward Ehlinger. “The goal of the trauma system is to decrease injured patients’ time to care by making sure their medical needs are appropriately matched with hospital resources. With the designation of Mayo Clinic Health System in New Prague as a level 4 trauma hospital, we are getting closer to our goal of ensuring that seriously injured Minnesotans have access to an organized system of trauma care wherever they are in the state.” On average, trauma claims the lives of 2,400 Minnesotans annually. States with trauma systems have seen survival rates increase by 15 to 20 percent. Wide-scale participation in the voluntary trauma system ensures that a statewide, cooperative effort is in place to care for seriously injured patients. Minnesota began developing a comprehensive statewide trauma system in August 2005. Through its designation, Mayo Clinic Health System in New Prague recognizes the vital role that communities, ambulance services, hospitals and health care professionals play in the care and management of trauma patients.

Weapons Screening Begins at Carver County Courthouse If you bring a dangerous weapon -- even a pocketknife you forgot in a backpack – into the Carver County Courthouse, odds are a sheriff’s deputy will quickly meet with you. The county recently opened a new secure entrance to the courthouse. The new entrance opened May 13 and is a $511,800 project. It includes an airport-like baggage X-ray machine and walkthrough metal detector. The entrance and circulation area was expanded to accommodate the new equipment, the Chaska Herald recently reported. Carver County Sheriff Jim

Olson said approximately 300 people were screened after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the first day of the new system being utilized. He said people are “very open” to the enhanced security. The Carver County Courthouse in Chaska is the last metro-area courthouse to implement security upgrades. Scott County opened its new-and-improved secure entrance to the justice center last year. The security upgrades in both counties have the blessings of district court judges and county attorneys in Scott and Carver counties.

There’s Trouble at Monty’s WWTF

Montgomery’s municipal wastewater treatment plant is taking in too much waste from septage haulers and not charging enough for the services it provides to all its customers. In a recent report to the city council, Montgomery’s contract engineer, Karen Cavett of Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc., said the city is taking in far more septage than it should. One hauler alone dumped more than 1 million gallons in 263 loads last year – about eight times what the plant can handle for daily treatment, the Montgomery Messenger recently reported. The city council approved temporarily stopping all service to septage haulers. The moratorium on the service to septage haulers will last about two to three months, unless the plant stabilizes from the excesses. The city also needs to increase

its sewer rates. In 2013, the city’s wastewater treatment pant’s income for operations was $652,400 below its costs. It collected only $197,500 from its haulers. The council will also review the rates it charges for the plant’s services. And if all that’s not enough bad news, the plant needs about $88,000 in scheduled and unscheduled improvements, $125,000 if the work is put off until next year. Councilors were stunned by the flow of foul information. “How did we get tot his point?” asked Councilor Tim Siebsen. “We’ve been on the council for what, four years and this is the first time we’re hearing about this. We thought everything was going well and that we were making money hand over first (from waste haulers) and now this?”

Dollars for Scholars Awards Night June 4 Belle Plaine Dollars for Scholars will host its annual awards night for the class of 2014 Wednesday, June 4. There will be 95 students receiving $88,000 in scholarships this year. The continued success of Belle Plaine Dollars for Scholars is due to outstanding community support of the annual fund-raisers and involvement of local businesses and individuals. The annual Wine Tasting and Silent Auction raised $5,761, the Phone-A-Thon in February raised $18,369 and the recent Car Raffle raised $19,050. There is also ongoing support through the 716 Club. The 716 Club is the first level of giving. Over a four-year period, a total donation of $716 is given and put in a fund where only the interest is used to create scholarship money. The other levels are Booster, Leader, Scholar and Heritage. There is a plaque in the high school commons area with names of 716 member and brochures with more information about how to get involved with the 716 Club. Since 1991 when Belle Plaine Dollars for Scholars gave out the first scholarships, there have been many individuals, clubs, groups and businesses who have sponsored a scholarship. Below is a list of scholarship sponsors from 1991 through 2014. Their support of our local chapter of Dollars for Scholars and each year’s graduating seniors has been a big part of the success. 716 Club Ag Power Enterprises Inc. Aid Assc.

North St. Paul 7, Tigers 1 Belle Plaine got right back on the horse and played the North St. Paul Roosters immediately following their loss to the Saints. For those of you keeping track, this was the Tigers’ sixth game of the season and the fifth against a non-Class ‘C’ team. The Tigers have played one ‘C’ team, four Class ‘B’ teams and one Class ‘A’ team. (If this sounds like the manager of the team making excuses for the team’s 1-6 record, you are exactly right.) Ryan Diers made his first appearance of the young season and was strong on the mound through four frames. He ran into a little trouble in the fifth inning when a few walks, a couple hits and a possibly missed called third strike or two led to a four-run fourth inning for the Roosters. Diers took the loss on the mound, with Shawn Larson throwing an inning and yielding three runs. The Tigers again scored only one run and had six hits, with Diers and Huber both hitting doubles in the fourth. Huber scored the run and Diers had the RBI, and they both collected two hits on the day. After the two tough losses the Tigers could do nothing but drown their sorrows with a beer or two and from the look of things the next day, those sorrows were completely and utterly drowned. Freeport 8, Tigers 0 The Tigers had a rare 11 a.m. start time on Sunday. All players were able to wake up for the game, but the bats did not wake up. Belle Plaine was nohit by Carter Sawyer, which is the second no-hitter the Tigers have been involved in at Freeport in the last five years. The last time was courtesy of Brad Lawson en route to winning the Black Sox Tourney championship in 2009. Let’s just say it’s better to be on the winning side of no-hitters. Zac Dahlke started on the mound for the local nine and worked five innings, scattering 11 hits. Josh Terrio threw the final inning and posted a goose egg. Matt Ruehling led the way at the plate with two walks. 2014 Town Tigers Schedule May 2 vs. St. Ben.

the first and fortunately for the Tigers they scored 10 of them to close the regular season on a positive note. The Tigers, facing Pitlick again, scored three runs in the first inning and five more in the second to grab an 8-2 lead and hold on to win 10-6. Three Tigers homered in the game – Johnson, Hentges and Studnicka. “We faced the same lineup and the same pitcher as game one and we came out of the gates swinging the bat and hitting everything hard,” Kalal said. “Balls were flying all over the park. The three home runs were each no-doubters and our offense was rolling. Hitting is contagious and this game was evident of that. “It’s always hard to come back and play well after losing the first one but the girls did a really nice job of staying focused and really wanting to answer back,” Kalal continued. Hentges had a triple to go along with her home run and drove in two runs. Studnicka had a single, double and three RBI along with her home run. Other offensive leaders were Lark (two hits and two RBI); Koepp (single, double and one RBI); Schmit (one hit and one RBI); and Witt (one hit). Haller picked up the win for the Tigers, allowing six runs (three earned) on four hits. She struck out 11. “Overall, to end the season on this game was nice,” Kalal said. “Our offense was firing on all cylinders and the girls showed a lot of fight and determination. We are excited to start the playoffs and if we play our game we feel that we will be a very tough team that could make a nice run in the playoffs.” 2014 BPHS Softball Results and Remaining Schedule Apr. 8 vs. Mayer L.

Foster Pet Care Needed Volunteers are needed to provide temporary foster pet homes for puppies, cats, rabbits, kitten litters and dogs in Carver, Scott and Hennepin counties. The Carver-Scott Humane Society is without a permanent shelter, so all abandoned pets are housed in foster care until permanent adoption occurs.

Tigers End Regular Season Strong by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School softball team entered last night’s Section 2AA North Subsection Tournament opener against Glencoe-Silver Lake with momentum after having won six of their last seven games of the regular season, finishing 8-6 in the Minnesota River Conference, 11-6 overall. The brackets for the section tournament were released last week and in the North Subsection Tuesday it was a match up of No. 4 and 5 seeds as Belle Plaine hosted Glencoe-Silver Lake. The winner will likely travel to NYA this Thursday to take on the top-seeded Raiders, who hosted winless Sibley East (seeded eighth) in the first round Tuesday. Other first-round pairings in the North Subsection Tuesday had No. 3 seed Jordan at home against No. 6 Holy Angels and No. 2 Le Sueur-Henderson hosting No. 7 Holy Family Catholic. The top seed in the South Subsection is New RichlandHartland-Ellendale-Geneva, which lost to Belle Plaine on its own field earlier this season. The Panthers took on No. 8 seed Blue Earth Area on Tuesday. The other three South Subsection quarterfinals Tuesday were No. 5 Albert Lea at No. 4 Waseca, No. 6 Tri-City United at No. 3 St. Peter and No. 7 Faribault Academies at No. 2 Maple River. All first-round winners will advance to their respective subsection semifinals this Thursday, with tournament action resuming this Saturday at Caswell Park in North Mankato. A complete bracket and tournament schedule can be found on the MSHSL’s website. Tigers 14, Sibley East 2 Belle Plaine scored six runs in the top of the first inning and the game never got close after that as the Tigers cruised to a 14-2 triumph. Belle Plaine needed only four hits to score a dozen runs as it took advantage of 15 bases on

balls and four Wolverines errors. Maddie Haller and Maddi Lark combined for three hits and five RBI for the Tigers. Kaylee Hentges had the other hit. Maddie Studnicka pitched the first four innings to gain the win, allowing no runs, three hits and one walk. Haller pitched the final three innings, allowing two runs (none earned) on one hit and three walks. She struck out seven. Tigers 6, Sibley East 2 The Tigers scored all six of their runs through the first three innings before holding on to drop the Wolverines to 0-12 in the MRC by a 6-2 margin. Kenzie Koepp led Belle Plaine at the plate with two hits and three RBI. Elizabeth Johnson had two hits and one RBI, while Hentges and Lark both contributed a hit and one RBI. Hailey Witt also hit safely. This time, Haller and Hentges shared the pitching duties, with the former starting and picking up the win. “It was really nice to see our bats going again and the girls really stepped up offensively and made the adjustments to a little slower pitching and really punished Sibley East,” said Belle Plaine coach Jeremy Kalal. “It seemed like almost every at-bat we put the ball in play hard, and when you do that against a team like Sibley East, good things happen.” “All around, we were on our game. Defensively, we made some amazing plays. Our pitching was really on and our offense was explosive. When we’re playing like this we are very hard to beat,” Kalal continued. Tigers 12, Mayer Luth. 1 For the second day in a row, the Tigers took to the road to play a team that had yet to win a conference game this year and the result was very much the same as they bettered the Crusaders 12-1. Nine of those runs were scored in Belle Plaine’s first at-bat.

“Our bats went crazy in the first inning. When we do that we are able to sit back and rely on our defense and pitching to carry us the rest of the way,” Kalal said. “I feel really good about the way we’ve been playing as of late and the girls are firing on all cylinders. Hopefully, we can keep this going as we go into the playoffs.” The Tigers had 18 hits, including a home run and three RBI by Studnicka. Kate Schmit also drove in three runs with two hits. Haller added three hits and two RBI, while Hentges had a hit and two RBI. Johnson added two hits, while Torrie Kellogg, Kaitlyn Rathe and Witt also hit safely. Hentges pitched the distance for Belle Plaine, allowing just four hits and one run. She struck out 11. Jordan 1, Tigers 0 The visiting Jaguars snapped the Tigers’ five-game winning streak in the first of two games in Belle Plaine Thursday. “Neither team could get anything started this game,” Kalal said. “Both pitchers were around the plate and Studnicka threw the ball really well, getting ahead of hitters and really only made one mistake and the hitter put a good swing on it. We obviously have to score to win and our offense was just not there in the first game.” Both teams had just three hits but the difference-maker was Jordan eighth-grader Emma Adamek’s home run in the third inning. Paige Pitlick pitched the complete-game shutout for the Jaguars. Studnicka also had a strong outing for Belle Plaine, allowing just two hits other than the home run. She struck out 11. Belle Plaine’s only three hits (all singles) were from Johnson, Schmit and Hentges. Tigers 10, Jordan 6 Fifteen more runs were scored in Thursday’s second game than

Tigers Free Fall at Freeport by Brett Kruschke, Matt Schultz and Mike Schultz Nothing went right for Team Tigertown at this weekend’s Black Sox Tourney in Freeport and as a result, the Tigers find themselves staring at a 1-6 start for the second year in a row. Not that we’d ever mention it in this column, but you might have heard the Tigers took second at state last year after such an ominous beginning; let’s hope history repeats itself when the state tourney is held at Jordan and Tigertown this August. The Tigers will begin Memorial Day Weekend with a 7:30 p.m. home game Friday against the RVL-West’s Arlington A’s. It will also be RTL Construc-

tion Night, which means that not only will Shawn Larson hit a home run, but every fan will receive a free hot dog, pop and chips. There will also be some mystery giveaways. After taking the rest of the weekend off to work on their tans, the White Lilies (Belle Plaine) will visit Chanhassen at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Gray Tigers Open Over-35 Baseball Season With a ‘W’

The Belle Plaine Grays opened the Over-35 baseball season on the road Saturday (May 17) with a 7-3 win over Loretto. Tim Doboszenski and Mike Weller started the Tigers’ offense with singles in the first inning. After a walk forced in a runner to give Belle Plaine a 1-0 lead, Phil Wulf hit a rocket the shortstop could not corral to plate the second run of the inning. The Tigers would score their third run on a single by starting pitcher Terry Knop. Eric Burgemeister, pinch running for Knop, scored on a fielder’s choice by Jeff Fahey. The Grays scored again in the sixth inning and sealed the deal with two more in the seventh on sacrifice flies by Wulf and

Brian Morrison. Knop and Mike Zellmann led the 10-hit attack with a pair of singles and doubles, with newcomers Doboszenski and Jim Keane getting singles. With all Tigers getting on base one way or another they kept the Loretto knuckle-baller at bay all night. Knop pitched the opener for the Tigers. He baffled the Loretto Sox striking out five through five innings, giving up just one unearned run in the process. Rookie Jim Keane relieved Knop in his Gray Tigers debut. He gave up two runs in the sixth before settling down in the seventh inning to get the save. The Gray Tigers will host the Waconia Islanders tonight (May 21, 8 p.m.).

Jake Fiedler started on the mound and was greeted with an onslaught of bloops, dinks and whatever else you could think to call a soft hit. To be fair, there were some walks mixed in, but the Saints scored five runs with one or maybe two hard-hit balls. Fielder took the loss on the mound, going four innings, with Trevor Latzke working the final two. The Tigers only had three hits in the (seven-inning, per tournament rules) game with Shawn Larson scoring the Tigers’ lone run. Dan Huber had a bloop double and Josh Terrio had the last Tiger hit.

Tigers Capture MRC Crown; Get Top Seed in Subsection by Dan Ruud The Minnesota River Conference baseball championship as been a slippery one for the Belle Plaine High School baseball program over the years but the 2014 Tigers made sure this year’s crown did not slip out of their grasp. The clincher came Saturday when Belle Plaine won the second game of a doubleheader at Sibley East by a score of 17-7. That came after the Tigers were blanked 4-0 in the first game. It’s Belle Plaine baseball’s first MRC title since 2001.

Tigers Win MRC Titles . . . Again

by Dan Ruud Less than two months ago, the Belle Plaine High School boys’ and girls’ track and field teams successfully defended their Minnesota River Conference Indoor team titles at Mankato. Last Thursday, they did the same outdoors by claiming the MRC Outdoor Championships at the Belle Plaine Athletic Complex. It was the Belle Plaine girls’ 10th outdoors title in a row. For the boys, it was their third straight. Individually, all first-place finishers earned all-conference honors, as well as each member of the four victorious relay teams. Next up is this Thursday’s subsection meet at Glencoe-Silver Lake. Events are scheduled to start at 4 p.m. The Section 2AA Meet is set for May 31 at Mankato West High School.

A Stormy Ending to MRC Season by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School girls’ and boys’ golf teams and the rest of the Minnesota River Conference spent the final day of the MRC season enduring play stoppages due to lightning and downpours on Monday, but by late afternoon, the entire 18hole event and the conference season was in the books. The two teams that led the MRC standings entering Monday remained on top at the end of the day. Jordan is this year’s girls’ team champion, while Mayer Lutheran is the boys’ crown possessor. Both the Belle Plaine boys’ and girls’ team finished third in the final standings (see rankings and point totals in standings on opposite page).

In the long jump, Johnson bettered Jordan’s Casey Hull 22-2 to 21-11. Everyone else in the field was more than a foot behind Johnson and Hull. Meanwhile, Johnson’s winning leap in the high jump (6-3) edged Scott McCabe of TCU by 1 inch. Johnson’s productive day continued in the triple jump, where he placed second with a distance of 42-10, which was 7 inches shy of TCU’s Kelly Nordling. Belle Plaine had a combined 36 points in the throws as Josh Spellman (47-07.50) and teammate Alec Otto (45-05) placed one-two in the shot put.

Highway 101 Land Bridge Project Begins Next Month

The long-anticipated construction of a new land bridge raising Highway 101 between Shakopee and Chanhassen out of the flood plain begins next month. The $54 million budget includes four lanes over the existing two-lane roadway. There will also be a large roundabout at the Carver County Road 61/ Highway 101 Y. The multiphase project will be completed

Ames Construction is the low bidder on the project. The project is intended to keep traffic flowing through the area during flooding. Highway 101 closed a half-dozen times between 1993 and 2011, three times in 2010 and 2011 alone. An open house on the project is tomorrow (May 22), 4-6 p.m., at the Chanhassen Public Library, 7711 Kerber Blvd.

by last quarter of 2015. Highway 101 will remain open for much of the project, though there will be phased detours during portions of the work. Carver County is recommending drivers use Highway 212 via Highway 41 during periods when the east-west stretch of County Road 61 is closed, the Chaska Herald recently reported.

Close Call A multi-vehicle crash on Highway 169 in front of the former Hot Spot station Thursday morning resulted in injuries to at least two people, including Eldred Stocker of Jordan, according to local authorities. The Minnesota State Patrol had not yet completed the accident report, including the details of the crash, by Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press time. But multiple sources say the injuries were not as serious as they first believed they could have been, including this person being removed from the scene by a stretcher.

From the air above Carver County looking to the north, Highway 101 (right) is a low-lying roadway that occasionally succumbs to floodwaters from the Minnesota River. It closed a halfdozen times between 1993 and 2011. In 2010 and 2011, Highway 101 was flooded three times. The Minnesota Department of Transportation is planning a roundabout where Highway 101 and County Road 61 form a Y.

Green Isle Seeking Better Cell Service from Verizon Wireless

Inconsistent or outright lousy cell phone service is nothing new in Green Isle. For years, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a constant complaint from area residents and people passing through town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just terrible in Green Isle,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Dale ZumBerge said. Hoping to improve the service, the city is taking advantage of its water tower and equipment companies Verizon Wireless and companies it acquired left on the tower while raising a few dollars for city coffers. For now, the issue is a matter of negotiaOn a typical day, thousands of vehicles use Highway 101 between Shakopee and southern tion between Verizon Wireless Chanhassen. Periodic closures will occur during the project, prompting detours to Highway and Green Isle City Attorney Ross Arneson. 212 via Highway 41 in Chaska. The city has an agreement with Verizon that equipment currently on its water tower has to come down if its not going to be utilized. The equipment belonged to one of the smaller cell service companies Verizon acquired in the dynamic world of telecommunications. But rather than take the existing equipment down, Verizon reportedly wants to leave an antenna on the tower to provide better service in the area. Arneson reported to the council at its May 13 meeting he suggested Verizon pay the city $900 per month using a simi-

lar agreement Verizon Wireless has with the City of Arlington, where Arneson is also the city attorney. Verizon offered $300 a month since Green Isle is about one-fourth Arlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expected they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bite on the same figure for Arlington,â&#x20AC;? Arneson told the council. Councilor Todd Burg suggested the city might be better off accepting less money per month in the name of improved cell phone service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the whole area would benefit,â&#x20AC;? Arneson said. The council directed Arneson to continue talks with Verizon, suggesting that an end date be established â&#x20AC;&#x201C; possibly one year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to keep the company motivated to discussing the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds good to me,â&#x20AC;? said Councilor Brian Oelfke.
