NUMBER 39

Vandermark Opposes School’s ‘Promotion’ of Gay-Straight Club School Board Member says District Not Following Its Own Policy

Cambria will host a community open house at its Belle Plaine plant (805 Enterprise Drive E.) Saturday, Sept. 27, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Cambria Invites Belle Plaine Residents to Stop By Saturday Marty Davis and his family are inviting all of Belle Plaine to visit the plant on East Enterprise Drive and see the company’s operations in the community’s largest building.

Saturday (Sept. 27), from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Cambria is hosting tours of the offices and plant at 805 Enterprise Drive E. It’s the first time since the company bought the plant in 2008 that Cambria has opened its doors to the general public.

In 2012, the company welcomed civic, business and municipal movers and shakers to the plants Saturday’s open house includes tours of the facility and Q-and-A sessions.

Cambria finish and prepare

for delivery in Belle Plaine the quartz products it manufactures at the Le Sueur plant.

The building is also the home of Cambria’s finance department, its customer service staff, quality control, information technology divisions and also Davis Family Farms, said Davis, Cambria’s president and chief executive officer.

Cambria employs about 320 full-time staff working in manufacturing to management positions at its buildings in Belle Plaine. About 120 of the staff are in the manufacturing end of the company. Two years ago, about 180 people worked at the plant.

“It’s plum-full now,” Davis said.

Davis decided the time was right for a community-wide open house after friends and associates encouraged him to open the company’s doors.

After purchasing the former Excelsior-Henderson motorcycle building for a reported $5.7 million six years ago, Cambria put an estimated $420,000 worth of improvements – removing interior walls to open up more space and adding mechanical systems to support production -- according to the city. The company funded the building and improvements it-

A routine meeting of the Belle Plaine School Board got off to a rocky start Monday evening (Sept. 22) when Board Member Joe Vandermark criticized the school district in general for not following a policy prohibiting the promotion of schoolassociated organizations and Superintendent Kelly Smith specifically for staff participation meetings of an unapproved group.

Without an advance heads-up to his fellow directors or Smith, Vandermark read a two-page statement criticizing the district for promoting the Gay-Straight Alliance club (GSA) at Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School.

Vandermark said several families are concerned the school announces the holding of GSA club meetings during non-classroom time and that Smith and a member of the school staff participated in at least one of the meetings last spring at a time when state lawmakers were discussing an anti-bullying bill.

Vandermark says the announcements are a form of promotion and that school staff should not participate in the meetings.

Smith believes the group would have particular interest in legislation on a bullying policy. The district has a policy allowing groups equal access to school facilities.

“Their (those who approached him) personal beliefs do not support such a group/philosophical belief, so they expressed their concerns to me,” Vandermark said in his twopage statement. “I explained that there is a policy which allows students to form groups during non-instructional times at the junior-senior high school, but they were still concerned about the promotional aspects.

From my interpretation of the policy, I agree with them.”

Smith does not believe the announcement of a meeting is a form of promoting the group.

The group includes gay and straight students, trans-gender and those questioning their ori-

After 10 Months in the Desert, Welcome Home, Capt. Anderson Group Gives B.P. Soldier a Rousing Homecoming

Karen Anderson hadn’t ever enjoyed a fire truck ride before Monday night. The ride from her house on Buffalo Street to the Vets Club was sweet as hundreds of well-wishers welcomed her home after a 10month deployment in Kuwait.

Anderson – Capt. Anderson – as the members of the 452nd Combat Support Hospital know her, returned last weekend to Belle Plaine following the deployment and a brief stay at an Army base in Texas.

Friends were planning a welcome-home celebration for last week, until a snag in the 452nd’s travel schedule pushed the homecoming to this week.

They kept plans off social media so Anderson, 51, wouldn’t catch wind of the surprise.

Monday night (Sept. 22), a fire truck stopped by the house on Buffalo Street. Karen and her husband, Ken, enjoyed a fire truck ride through Belle Plaine

Workers at Inspired Acres strawberry farm spent last week in the field preparing rows of berries for the U-pick operations reopening. Fruit flies took between 60 and 70 percent of the crop this summer.

Mother Nature Unkind to Inspired Acres in First Season Pests Take Big Bite of Crop

They took a unique approach to growing what was expected to be strawberries unlike most have seen in the area. But Mother Nature was unkind to the owners of Inspired Acres, a strawberry patch on the former Brewery Creek site along Highway 169.

The patch has been open a few weekends over the summer for U-pick. But an infestation of fruit flies has ruined between 60 to 70 percent of Inspired Acres strawberry crop in Belle Plaine, said Luke Wagner, manager at Inspired Acres. From the time a strawberry plant blooms, he

said, about 28 days are needed for the fruit to be ready for picking.

Wagner said the insects have plagued other strawberry patches in the state since 2011 and ‘12. Though disappointed, he isn’t surprised by the setback.

The family’s strawberry crop in Le Sueur suffered similar losses, he said.

“The surprise was it finally hit us,” Wagner said.

Last week and into this week, crews were working in the patch, removing small strawberries from the plants so the larger, healthier berries can grow larger, he said.

Wagner expects Inspired Acres will be open Oct. 5 for U-pick.

He hopes the lost crop will be

replaced by new ones in time for Oct 5.

Inspired Acres grows the fruit without pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Treating the berries naturally is prohibitively expensive. Netting is another option to protect the crop, Wagner said.

Owners Dave Wagner and Russ Dunken don’t believe in using harsh chemicals.

“As a kid, we had strawberries that actually tasted like strawberries,” said Dave Wagner, Luke’s father. The elder Wagner believes strawberries today, bred and grown in California and Florida to withstand being trucked to Minnesota and the Midwest, “taste like Styrofoam.”

After the Rain Came Visitors to the Belle Plaine Fire Station Saturday night enjoyed the musical talents of SIDE F/X during the annual fall street dance. After a strong thunderstorm roared through town before sunset, the band took the stage from 8 p.m. to midnight. The street dance is a fund-raiser for the department’s equipment needs.

self.

Cambria sought the building in Belle Plaine because of its proximity to the Le Sueur plant and also for efficient shipping to customers on the East, West, South and to Canada. Two

years ago, the company said it sends up to 20,000 orders a month from Belle Plaine to customers.

Despite efforts to publicize Cambria’s early operations in Belle Plaine as one of the com-

munity’s top employers and taxpayers, the Davis family maintained a low profile. The low profile was maintained to avoid speculation. The Davis family, Davis said, wanted to stabilize the operation in Belle

Plaine and then tell the community what it had accomplished here rather than issue a press release on what it hoped to do.

“It’ll be a good day for citizens to see the building,” he said.

Death

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Exhibitionist Reported in B.P.

Local Case Similar to New Prague Incident

Karen M. Jahn Karen M. Jahn, 72, of rural Henderson, passed away on Sunday morning, September 21, 2014 at Mayo Health Systems in Mankato, MN surrounded by her family.

Mass of Christian Burial will be on Wednesday, September 24, 2014 at 11 a.m. at St. Anne’s Catholic Church in Le Sueur. Visitation was from 4-8 p.m. Tuesday, at the Kolden Funeral Home.

Karen was born on June 3, 1942 in St. Peter to Vernon and Mildred (Brenke) Anderley. She attended and graduated from Belle Plaine High School in 1960. Following her graduation from high school she worked at a bank in Minneapolis for a few years before she was married.

She married Harvey Jahn on November 2, 1963 at St. Scholastica Catholic Church in Heidelberg.

She was a loving homemaker for many years and began a career as a cook with the Le Sueur-Henderson School System from 1975-2004. She loved working and being around all of the school children.

She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends.

She also enjoyed being at the lake, fishing, boating, reading and traveling.

CLASS-ACT OUTDOOR FURNACE

Reports of men who allegedly exposed themselves to females in Belle Plaine and New Prague as they were out for walks over the weekend has police concerned.

Saturday morning (Sept. 20), around 9:40, a woman walking along the 1000 block of Enterprise Drive in Belle Plaine reported a white mini van pulled over to the curb ahead of her.

As she walked by it, the door opened and a black, heavyset man exposed himself to the woman and touched himself inappropriately.

The woman fled the area.

Belle Plaine Police Chief Tom

Stolee is concerned the man, described as being in his mid40s, might “graduate to the next level� and try to assault someone.

It’s a similar report to one in New Prague. Friday evening (Sept. 19), around 8 p.m., a girl playing along Lexington Avenue North, a residential neighborhood, had a man driving a white mini van wearing a black ski mask and eyeglasses exposed himself to her, said New Prague Police Chief Jim Gareis.

The child did not tell her mother about the incident until the following morning (Sept.

20), Gareis said.

Stolee said the Belle Plaine case remains under investigation. He hopes to be able to collect enough information from the woman in Belle Plaine to generate a composite sketch of the man.

School Board (continued from page 1) entation, according to Vandermark’s statement.

Citing U.S. Code and the definition of the word ‘promotion,’ he believes the school has promoted a club not officially associated with the school. “Thus the publication of the meeting should not be published in official school communications, nor should staff participate in the meetings,� Vandermark said.

Smith defended the announcement of the GSA club meetings and does not believe the district violated its own policy. He doesn’t believe the district promoted a specific lifestyle by allowing the meetings being held or announcing the meetings.

But Vandermark believes the issue is a serious legal matter or whether the district is following its own policies. The board will likely discuss Vandermark’s concerns at its next workshop.

The district’s legal counsel is reviewing the matter, Smith said.

Without the benefit of preparation for the discussion, directors raised questions about whether the district was or was not following its own policy. They noted that allowing access to students and/or facilities by organizations like youth baseball, basketball, wrestling or other sports associations, Boy Scouts, 4H clubs – groups not formally associated with the school district – could violate the policy in the same way Vandermark believes the district violated its own policy by announcing the GSA meetings.

Preliminary Levy

Later in the evening, directors unanimously approved the dis-

trict’s 2015 maximum preliminary levy.

The board is increasing its levy by no more than $220,665.80 -4.82 percent -- to $4.8 million.

The final 2016 levy will be set at the December board meeting, said Chuck Keller, the school district’s finance director. He said the increase, if enacted at 4.82 percent, would add about $35 a year to the school district’s share of property taxes on a house valued for tax purposes at $150,000.

The biggest share of the increase will go toward the general fund, the budget from which the district pays its day-to-day expenses. The largest share of the increase to the general fund is $150,000 for benefits to retiring long-time employees. The other major area of general fund increase is $167,449.84 for health and safety-related projects. The increases offset several areas where the district will levy less money than it previously did.

Much of the levy increase or decrease is governed by state formula, the rest by school board or voter decisions, Smith said.

The portion of the overall levy funding community education is increasing by less than 1 percent to $115,864.26. The biggest area of savings is debt service, where the district is reducing the amount it levies by $64,239.37 to $3.13 million.

The refinancing of voter-approved bonds that paid for Oak Crest Elementary School and expansion of the junior-senior high school is the biggest area of debt servings savings.

City Administrator Matt Podhradsky said the investigation will take about one month.

The city takes the charge seriously and is working on an in-depth inquiry into the allegations. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it allowed members of the Latino community to address the council.

Members of the Latino community had praise for Chaska Police Chief Scott Knight, who Rev. Joseph said has been very gracious through the process. Knight has earned honors from the minority community, including a 2008 award from the Minnesota Human Rights Commission.

Knight has hired two Latino employees, one of which is a sworn patrol officer.

A Chaska police officer is off the streets, on paid administrative leave after members of the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Latino community accused him of racial profiling.

About two-dozen Latino residents, along with Rev. Thomas Joseph, pastor at St. Nicholas Church in Carver recently addressed the Chaska City Council to express their concerns about the officer and the alleged racial profiling, the Chaska Herald recently reported.

One man claimed, through an interpreter, he was arrested and thrown to the ground by the officer. A woman claimed the officer pulled her over while driving because she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a license. She said he threatened her with arrest if she was not carrying her immigration papers. She also claimed the

during both incidents.

Since 1993, the Minnesota Sex Offender Program has placed only two of its 700 offenders on provisional release after an offender successfully completed treatment. Only six of the 450 offenders who appealed their civil commitments had them overturned.

Ince was on intense supervised release until his commitment trial ended in 2012. During the eight-month period, Ince worked on a dairy farm, began court-ordered sex offender treatment and successfully dealt with substance abuse.

Because of the unusual circumstances in Inceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, the Minnesota Supreme Court earlier this year ordered Sibley County District Court to reevaluate whether or not a lessrestrictive treatment alternative would be available.

Investigators from the Carver County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and medical examiners identified the man whose body was found in the fatal house fire in Watertown Saturday (Sept. 13) as David John Reuter.

Reuterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was found in the living room floor after firefighters arrived and found the house fully engulfed in flames shortly before 10 p.m. Medical examiners used dental records to confirm the man they found was Reuter, 69, said Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson.

The medical examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preliminary report indicates Reuter died of smoke inhalation.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. At this time, Olson said, there is no reason to believe the fire was started intentionally.

Watertown Fire Victim Identified

Retired District Court Judge Thomas McCarthy recently acknowledged Cedrick Ince is likely to sexually reoffend, but rejected Sibley Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petition to have Ince committed as a sexually dangerous person.

McCarthy ruled there was not enough evidence to prove Ince met the criteria as â&#x20AC;&#x153;highly likely to reoffendâ&#x20AC;? to justify civil commitment. He ordered Ince be released from a secure facility in Moose Lake.

Ince, 24, is a former Arlington resident. The Minnesota Department of Corrections will supervise Ince until he completes terms of his probation in about seven years. His probation will include intense probation as well as sex offender and chemical dependency treatment, the Gaylord Hub recently reported.

Ince has twice been convicted of criminal sexual conduct. He admitted to police he was drunk

Ney Center Fall Fest Oct. 4

Last week, I covered some of the basics of doing research with school work being the central consideration. This week, I want to open the discussion with a wider focus. Many of us need to learn things or get information confirmed in our daily lives.

It might be for school, business, home management or simple curiosity. The printed materials at the library are the easy, obvious, and traditional resources. They still have a valued place in the library. The internet, used with caution, can be a great source of information and is so commonplace, many of us consider the internet to be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;traditionalâ&#x20AC;? source by now.

It is now time to bring out the advanced research tools. I need you to follow along at an internet station, either at home or at your library. The first step is to go to http://www.scottlib. org/ and click on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Research & Resourcesâ&#x20AC;? on the menu bar.

You will be rewarded with four useful options. We will focus on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Researchâ&#x20AC;? so click on that option. Now you will be presented a wide range of options and paths to get there. We will go with the easier method for now. There are a dozen category boxes ranging from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Academic Researchâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Science & Technologyâ&#x20AC;?. Click any one of them and you will be offered a number of databases containing many options for finding information. It will take some digging and reading. Practice will make using this resource easier.

I would encourage everybody to give this a try. It is an amazing collection of resources and the more skillful you become at using them, the more useful they will become.

The Belle Plaine Book club is starting up but with a change of time. They will be meeting at 6 p.m. on Thursday, September 25 to discuss the book â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Great Gatsbyâ&#x20AC;? by F. Scott Fitzgerald (born in St. Paul, MN.). If you have read the book and would like to discuss it with fellow members of the community, come. If you have not read the book and would like to be apart of the club stop by the library to get a copy.

Preschools, parents, grandparents and Caregivers are invited to Storytime on Friday, September 26 at 10:30 a.m. This weeks theme will be Fairy Tales.

Our Scott County Library System web pages are meant to assist you in getting the most out of your library experience. Stop in or go online for information.

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Homage to Omy Belle Plaine native Omy Hahn, right, was inducted into the Minnesota Baseball Hall of Fame in the fall of 1984 at ceremonies in St. Cloud. Hahn was accompanied by a group of Belle Plaine friends who were on hand for the occasion. Hahn, 71, was a well-known Minnesota sports personality. He was a brother of Joe Hahn of Belle Plaine.

The fifth annual Minnesota Irish Festival would be held at the St. Paul Civic Center on Saturday and Sunday (Nov. 3-4).

Organizers added a new twist that year, honoring two towns for their Irish heritage. Belle Plaine and New Richmond, Wis., were the two communities that were selected for the 1984 event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are honoring the entire area around Belle Plaine to also included the townships of Jessenland and Faxon and the St. Thomas area,â&#x20AC;? said Mary Ann Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, formerly of Belle Plaine who was a member of the committee. A meeting would be held that Thursday night at Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lounge to discuss Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in the festival.

Filings opened that Tuesday for city offices and on the first day two filed for mayor and one for council. Incumbent Mayor Fran Schuman and Councilman Roger Martin both filed for the twoyear mayor position. Filing for the four-year council seat was David Smith. The council seats of Martin and Ray Bigaouette would expire that year.

The property suggested for purchase was a 200- by 300-foot piece of land just west of the Belle Plaine Coop that was owned by Dr. John Fogarty. Some members of the building committee felt the $80,000 asking price was a little high and might discourage a favorable vote.

In a move to encourage the replacement of trees lost to Dutch elm disease, the city of Belle Plaine was offering property

owners the chance to purchase trees from the city.

The previous weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mild temperatures and intense sunshine were just what the farmers needed for their crops to ripen for fall harvest.

The third annual Harvest Medallion Hunt is underway with the accompanying clue. The hunt is a prelude to the annual Belle Plaine Scenic Byway 5K and Half-Marathon races, which this year are scheduled for Oct. 11. If the medallion is not found this week, a second clue will be published in next Wednesday's Herald. A third clue, if necessary, will appear Oct. 8.

Last year, the husband and wife team of Don and Pam Meger found the medallion stuck underneath the sleeping child statue in front of the public library building downtown.

Their find came after the publishing of the first clue.

The search area is the same as for the Bar-B-Q Days and St. Patrick coin hunts, which includes the Belle Plaine city limits.

The medallion is about 2 inches in diameter and has "Belle Plaine Harvest Hunt 2014" inscribed on it. The prize for finding it is $100 in Belle Plaine Bucks. The medallion is located on public property and is not more than 6 feet off the ground. It's also not located on the Historical House property or "inside" the Tiger Park baseball field.

If you find it, call 952-2121060 and leave your name and phone number.

Good treats, good eats and great company.

Another Dozinky come and gone, a cool start, from Friday night’s cruise, shopping the street venders and Czech Village, neighbors, friends, family, food, music, pivo, KCHK’s Tavern Tour an exhausted and satisfied finish. St. Thomas folks sighted: Connellys, Burns, Holdens, O’Connells, Simons, Sullivans, Hallorans… and Megers, Bill pushing Lisa in a wheelchair, her feet bandaged, with the girls happily, skipping and clinging to them.

Enjoyed immensely, watching from behind the KCHK stand to folks, mostly children and teens, walking by, catching step of the music beat and finished passing in dance step. The view on Main Street in New Prague closely resembled the Mardi Gras on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

A special kind of bonding for one united purpose, generations working together making memories with grandchildren, sonsin-law and adult grandsons… and women cooking. The fam-

ily of Max Sullivan spent a 3-4 day weekend at the farm putting a new roof on her house.

A number of St. Thomas folks enjoyed the beautiful wedding of Christina Genelin and Philip Heitner of Le Center on Saturday, Sept. 20. The wedding ceremony was held at the St. Henry Catholic Church with reception, dinner and dance at the Le Sueur County Pioneer Power Show Grounds.

Around dinner time, winds and a 20-minute downpour dampened the grounds, but not the spirits of the guests. Guests left tents and cozied up in the Pancake House and moved further inside Pioneer Hall. Most of the guests were the spirited Le Center St. Patrick’s Day crowd who enjoyed heightened excitement. This same storm, hit Wasca’s Sacred Heart Festival, where inches of hail fell and tents were tossed.

On a personal note: Curt and Cindy are our Scenic By-Way neighbors. Cindy called the morning of June 19, worried about the rain, a premonition, feeling uneasy about the floodwaters coming up. Their home was always picture perfect and well cared for, just like their horses, well cared for… and playful. Boelter’s eldest son, Cody, is a member of our Henderson Fire Department and was out with the department helping us in the flood plain. As the rain came down and the floodwaters rose, he was out helping us… comforting us along the edge of the valley. They’ve uncomplainingly lost so many irreplaceable treasures. We along the Scenic Byway know “There really is no such thing as mud slide insurance.” We are blessed with good neighbors, and we all agree…

You can’t beat neighbors like Curt and Cindy for kindness and compassion. We like them as neighbors and love them as friends…and remember, folks, they both have St. Thomas connections. Please join us for a full day of fun, for a good cause.

Arlington Renaming Ballfield to Honor Dan Thomes’ Memory The softball/baseball field in Arlington’s Sportsmen’s Park were recently dedicated and renamed in memory of Dan “Buck” Thomes.

The Arlington City Council recently unanimously OK’d a resolution renaming the field in memory of Thomes, a longtime softball-baseball enthusiast who tirelessly worked to run and

manage teams and leagues that used the field. He also regularly performed routine maintenance on the field.

Thomes managed the Arlington Sportsmen’s Club for 25 years, the Arlington Enterprise recently reported. He was also instrumental in the smooth transfer of the park to city ownership. The park continues to

serve city and rural residents seeking a public, natural retreat along the banks of a waterway.

Thomes, who passed away unexpectedly in March of 2013, also worked for the City of Arlington for 13 years. During those years, he paid special attention to the ball field in the park.

Luie is still living in his “little yellow house.” And yes, Walt and Helen, your last name is known very well by Luie and his family as Luie worked in Eric mining over 30 years and knew of probably one of your relatives and also a daughter of some friends in Biwabik is married to a Lehtinen or is getting married. A small world but a grand world. A “Hi” to the B.P. Hunters that were always welcomed at the “Big House” up by the open iron ore pit. Fond memories really came about!

It was so good to see Bootie at her husband’s 90th birthday party. Jon, Deb (Edberg) Malin of Lakeville and Joe Edberg of Shakopee came up on Sunday to be with for Luie’s 90th birthday party. It was great of Don to take Vernie to Biwabik and as mentioned, it was a very happy and very tearful reunion. Some of the B.P. “Oldsters” may remember Luie as a policeman in the 1950’s.

Union Hill 14 campers in their backyard with hookups for everyone.

Besides the camping group, many friends and family spent the weekend, or stopped by to visit. Many of the group enjoyed the festivities in New Prague at the Dozinky festival.

Activities at the campground were mini golfing, yard games, bingo, bonfires, and the annual Saturday night buffet. Special guests this year were Peter and Margaret Zahorik from Austria. Peter and Margaret are parents of one of the camping group and have been vacationing in America for the past month. Despite the language barrier of them only speaking German, they enjoyed the camaraderie and fun that the ‘Camping group’ always has.

We appreciate Rachel and Dave for the hospitality that added to another successful Dozinky weekend.

Humor Corner: In his early 50s, Tom retired and started a second career.

But he just couldn’t seem to get to work on time. Every day, he was five, 10, or even 15 minutes late. Tom was a good worker, though, so his boss was in a quandary about how to deal with it. Finally, he called him into the office for a talk.

“Tom, you do a bang-up job.

It’s odd, though, your coming in late. I know you retired from the Air Force. What did they say if you came in late?”

“They said, ‘Good morning, general.’”

John Mason Spicer built Medayto Cottage in 1893 on Beautiful Green Lake. In the 1930â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, fisherman began commonly identifying their landmark for locating fishing spots as Spicerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Castle. This lake home is tucked into the woods and fronted by 600 feet of lakeshore. Eunice Spicer Latham preserved many of the original furnishings. Some parts of the home have changed little over the years. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It reflects the slow paced, gentle days of a century ago. Staff will give each participant their part in the mystery upon arrival, and explain the specific details. At 11:30 a.m. You are cordially invited to a day filled with merriment and suspense as you help catch a murderer. However, think twice... it could be you! Let the mystery begin. This two-hour mystery luncheon will involve guests who are suspects in a crime.

Upon arrival, you will receive parts for the men to play, and the parts for the women in the play. Menu: Herb Roasted Pork Loin, Harvest Greens Salad, Rolls with Butter, Red Skin & Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Seasonal Vegetable, Dessert, Coffee, Tea. While solving this felony, the situation will often be interrupted by fits of laughter. As a guest, you participate in the mystery. It could be set in a 1930â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English Mansion, a 1920â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chicago Speakeasy, a Scottish Castle or some other

All cats and dogs have been micro ID implanted, vet checked, wormed, had shots updated, checked for friendly temperaments and age appropriately spayed/neutered. Adoption fees are $175+ for cats and $210+ for dogs.

Call the Society for more information on adopting a homeless pet at 952-368-3553 or visit www.carverscotths.org.

Mt. Dew and Cheetos?

Not in Chaska Schools Anymore Students in Chaska junior and senior high schools or East Union Elementary who crave a Mt. Dew, Diet Coke and a bag of Cheetos will have to look elsewhere now that the Eastern Carver County Schools School board decided on a healthier way to go.

Directors at the Chaska-based school district recently decided the traditional soda pop and chips selections would be replaced by healthier snacks and drinks. The new offerings meet the U.S. Department of Educationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new requirements for all food sold in the school outside the meal program, the Chaska Herald recently reported.

The new foods have to meet requirements for calories, sodium, sugar and fat.

Each of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle schools has one vending machines. The elementary schools, including East Union nine miles northeast of Belle Plaine, have one vending machine in the staff lounge.

In Belle Plaine, vending machines at the junior-senior high school have â&#x20AC;&#x153;all-healthy snacksâ&#x20AC;? said Dave Kreft, the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principal. The machines are only avalable for use after school. Oak Crest students do not have access to vending machines, said Liann Hanson, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principal.

This past year, the Belle Plaine School Board approved our Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Workforce Plan as required by the Minnesota Legislature. The plan highlights the school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to achieve goals set forth in the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Workforce legislation. In the next month or so, the district will be sharing our report of progress with regard to the benchmarks laid out in this plan. The following information is a summary of the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Workforce legislation The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Workforce bill was passed in 2013 to ensure every school district in the state is making strides to increase student performance. Each district must develop a plan that addresses the following five goals: â&#x20AC;˘ All children are ready for school. â&#x20AC;˘ All third-graders can read at grade level. â&#x20AC;˘ All racial and economic achievement gaps between students are closed. â&#x20AC;˘ All students are ready for career and college. â&#x20AC;˘ All students graduate from high school.

Why is Minnesota focused on this idea? For Minnesota to be competitive, we must have students who are college and career ready, students who are poised to lead the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workforce.

This is important for a number of reasons: â&#x20AC;˘ Our population is aging. â&#x20AC;˘ Seventy percent (70%) of jobs will require more than a high school diploma by 2018. â&#x20AC;˘ We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have qualified candidates to fill many good-paying jobs. â&#x20AC;˘ The fastest growing segment of our future workforce is students of color, and they currently have the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest graduation rate. â&#x20AC;˘ Minnesota has one of the worst black-white achievement gaps in the country.

How will we measure progress? Each district will create their own plan to align curriculum and instruction so that students are college and career ready. The success of each plan will be measured by: â&#x20AC;˘ NAEP scores â&#x20AC;˘ Closing the gap by student group â&#x20AC;˘ MCA scores â&#x20AC;˘ College entrance exams At our meeting on Monday night, the school board took up several resolutions regarding school funding with regard to deferred maintenance, restoring state funding for equalization aid for operating levies and for debt service levies, providing technology funding for all school and a renewed commitment to meeting the financial obligations of special education requirements. These resolutions will be reviewed by the MN School Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association Delegate Assembly in early December and Scott County Legal Notices Proceedings will be considered as part of theBoardMSBA legislative platform for 2015. Board member Dan Giesen wlll be representing our school board as a member of the Delegate Assembly.

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

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

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

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

Cologne OKs Land Swap, Conduit Bonds, Plans for School Expansion Oct. 15 Bond Sale A Big Hurdle

After hours of behind-thescenes discussions between legal counsel and representatives for all the interested parties – the city, Hans Hagen and Cologne Academy – the road to expansion of Cologne Academy is seemingly wide open.

Monday night, the Cologne City Council approved a conduit-financing plan that uses the city’s tax-free status to facilitate the sale of up to $15 million in bonds – with no financial risk to the city – to fund the construction of new classroom space, a gymnasium and parking space for the charter school.

It also OK’d the plat, vacation of easements and land swap needed before construction can begin. School officials hope work can begin yet this fall.

If the bond sale, for some reason, does not occur, Hans Hagen told the city council he would consider funding the project through his company if financing can be arranged. If Hagen must fund the project, construction would likely occur in phases, starting with classrooms at the south end of the existing building.

A tuition-free charter school, Cologne Academy is eyeing its fifth addition – a 33,000-squarefoot expansion that includes 10 classrooms for middle-school students, office space and a gymnasium south of the existing L-shaped school building.

Peterson hopes construction can begin this fall. The new addition should be open for the

2015-16 school year.

The key to the expansion includes a land swap between the city and Partners for Better Education (PBE), Cologne Academy, and the city. PBE is led by Hans Hagen, developer of Village at Cologne, a residential and future commercial development south of Highway 212 and west of Carver County Road 53.

His company previously built the first four phases of the charter school located just west of Cologne City Hall/Community Center. State lease-aid per-student funds the expansion. The city will give up 1.7 acres in the southwest corner of the lot that is currently used primarily for parking. The land will be used for the new gymnasium. The city is getting back 1.98 acres that will ultimately be used for parking.

Eventually, the school building will be owned by Cologne Academy Building Co., a nonprofit set up by the charter school’s.

Cologne Academy opened the 2014-15 school year with about 500 students in kindergarten through eighth grades. The enrollment is expected to grow to 530 for 2015-16 and to 620 students by 2019, Peterson said.

The city and school completed and approve a developer’s agreement and parking lot use agreement, allowing the bond sale can proceed. The city and school will also have to complete a maintenance agreement for the parking lot, an agreement governing which entity will pay for the lots.

The plan also calls for the possible expansion of School Street – a street that feeds city and school property off County Road 53. The expansion of the street will in the short-term facilitate vehicles and school buses dropping off and picking up students. It could also complement the commercial development of a parcel just east of Cologne City Hall/Community Center.

In other action at Monday’s (Sept. 15 meting), the Cologne City Council: • Paid bills totaling $35,871.47 • Dedicated a plaque to Bernard Shambour, a longtime city public works employee. The plaque will be placed on a display near the Cologne Public Works Building.

• Approved a roof repair project and awarded the job to Vos Construction of Green Isle. Vos had the low bid of $45,959. The townships served by the fire department have and are expected to approve their share of the funding for the project with the balance coming from the fire department’s budget.

• Discussed what to do with two parcels of land the city owns on either side of Highway 284 in downtown Cologne near the railroad tracks. The two parcels are each approximately two-thirds of one acre.

• Approved staff closing city hall for a half-day later this fall to conduct a workshop on better ways to serve the citizens of Cologne.

Jordan City Council Advised Against Do-it-Yourself Stop Sign Members of the Jordan City Council were so annoyed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s U-turn of its support for placing a stop sign at the intersection of Highway 282 and Creek Lane earlier this year, they pondered the notion of placing a sign at the intersection themselves.

But that would be a crime. Really?

Jordan City Engineer Tim Loose and Assistant City Engineer Mike Waltman co-authored a staff report to the council after councilors wondered aloud what would happen if the city installed stop signs without Mn/ DOT’s blessing. The council believes the intersection, which is used daily by school buses, is a perilous crossing.

cently reported, “Staff researched this question,” the memo said. Loose and Waltman believe “it appears” the city placing signs at the intersection requiring east- and westbound traffic on Highway 282 to stop would be a petty misdemeanor.

Furthermore, they wrote, there also appears to be some potential liability that would be taken on in the event of crashes associated with stop signs placed by the city if it did so.

And if all that isn’t enough, they Loose and Waltman wrote, Mn/DOT could confiscate the signs and make the city pay for the removal. That said, or written, Councilor Joe Thrill deduced the council would have to “take a different angle” to the issue.

Honored for Years of Service Cologne’s Bernie Shambour Sr. was recently honored for his 38 years of service with Cologne Public Works. A plaque honoring Shambour, 82, was placed in front of the grader he and his predecessors used to grade city alleys and streets. The display is in front of the Cologne Public Works building on Louis Street W. The grader was originally pulled by horse and later by tractor. During his years of service, both to public works and as a firefighter, Shambour was almost always accompanied by one of his two collies. “Those dogs made a lot of people smile,” he said. Shambour is still called upon by Cologne’s current public works staff when his historical knowledge is needed for locating water and sewer lines.

Carver County Board Aiming to Keep 2015 Property Taxes Flat Carver County commissioners plan to keep the property taxes generated by the typical house flat in 2015.

The Carver County Board recently voted to set the preliminary levy for 2015 at $49.8 million, a 4.9 percent increase over 2014. The increase means, along with changes to valuation, that the typical hose in Carver County -- which saw its taxable value from 2013 to 2014 increase by about $27,000 to $294,000 – should see no increase in the county’s share of property taxes, the Chaska Herald recently reported. The preliminary levy, if approved as presented, would result in

tax decreases for commercial and agricultural properties, said County Administrator David Hemze.

The preliminary property tax

levy funds a chunk of the county’s operating budget for 2015.

The levy calls for the addition of 13.65 full-time staff and $6,000 for a lobbying.

New Brewpub Under Construction Next to Hotel in New Prague The brewing business in the area is growing. Last week in New Prague, ground was broken for a new brewpub adjacent to Hotel Broz.

The brewpub next to the hotel (formerly Schumacher’s) will be of traditional masonry, with a blend of brick, stone, wood and other finishes for an

antique appearance. The building will have a curved roof with glass to allow natural lighting, the New Prague Times recently reported.

Inside, it will be 6,000 square feet and feature a full bar and seating area, two fireplaces and 1,000-bottle wine room. Owner

Caroline Amplatz has approval for production of up to 5,000 barrels of beer. The building will have equipment for up to five different varieties of beer.

Meanwhile, work to return the exterior and interior of Amplatz’s Hotel Broz to its 1800s appearance continues.

Sibley County Eyeing Possible 5% Property Tax Levy Hike With labor costs on the rise and the loss of state aid to make up for, Sibley Count commissioners are considering setting the preliminary property tax levy to reflect a 5 percent increase.

The final 2015 levy will be set later this year. It can’t be higher than the preliminary levy.

If commissioners OK a 5 percent preliminary hike for next year, it would increase the levy to $12.27 million from $11.69 million, the Gaylord Hub re-

cently reported. The levy funds a portion of Sibley County’s operating budget.

Commissioners have already OK’d a 4 percent market adjustment for employees and themselves that will approximately cost an additional $225,000.

The county also faces mandated increases in Public Employment Retirement Association (PERA) costs. The county has also OK’d two new full-time

employees, although one is fully funded by the state and the other is partially funded by the state.

The county has also yet to negotiate contracts for 2015, agreements that may contain wage increases, with the unions representing its 35 unionized employees.

Sibley County expects it will spend less on public works projects in 2015.

Look to us for Expert Eye Care.

Green Isle Community School saw 55 students come through its doors the first day, six more than a year ago. That’s reason for optimism.

But long-term, the numbers have to grow for the charter school to survive, according to Mary Menne, the school’s director, during her presentation to the Green Isle City Council at its Sept. 9 meeting. She invited anyone with good ideas on how to increase enrollment to speak up.

The school has recently added lofts for kindergarten and firstgrade students. Its preschool program is also now licensed as a daycare, as required by state law.

The K-sixth grade school could be bustling. There are 107 kindergarteners through sixth-graders living in Green Isle. Only 17 of them attend Green Isle Community School.

The school also draws from Henderson, Belle Plaine, Le Sueur and other area communities. The loss of 54 students in the area to Central Schools in Norwood Young America is another sore spot.

A Central School District bus running through Green Isle twice a day also works against enrollment at the charter school, Menne said.

The no-cost charter school advertises its curriculum as a collaboration of teachers, parents, students, and community members planning and implementing enhanced learning experiences that will support student learning. Teachers work in teams to develop the three-year rotating curricula, select appropriate instructional materials, and coordinate day-to-day activities and projects. Student achievement is measured through the Minnesota Comprehensive As-

Charts and prescriptions are currently at our Chaska office.

Reason for Concern

The city has reason to be concerned. After the City of Green Isle bought the school building for $1 in the early-2000s, Green Isle issued the bonds to renovate a vacant school building several years after the Arlington-Green Isle (which later became Sibley East) School District closed it and consolidated its campus in Arlington.

“Green Isle Community School exists because people of the Green Isle community wanted a school in their community,” Menne said.

Lease-aid from the state helps repay the bonds. Without enough students, the city is on the hook for the balance of the bond payments state lease aid doesn’t cover.

Mayor Dale ZumBerge said the city is still on the hook for the bonds as well as the operating expenses of the building, even if the school doesn’t make it. Green Isle spent about $30,000 to heat and provide

More Detoured Traffic Brings More Mn/DOT Money to Sibley County

A decision to detour all traffic off Highway169 on to Sibley County roads will have a slight windfall for the county.

When the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/ DOT) planned to detour truck traffic off Highway 169 on to Sibley County roads 8 and 20 – a detour that allowed Mn/ DOT to complete road repairs – the county expected its roads would see about 2,370 vehicles on it during the course of the detour.

The state agreed to pay the county $1,225.53 for the addi-

sessments (MCAs) and also the Northwest Evaluation Association Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment s as standardized testing tools.

School staff has tried to market the school. DVDs and post cards marketing the school and its curriculum were distributed around the community during the summer, Menne said. The charter school has also been invited to participate in Sibley East’s homecoming parade.

She said the Sibley East School District has been supportive.

Menne would like to see a link to GICS’s Web site from the Sibley East School District site.

Transportation is another significant issue. The district receives state aid for busing, but can’t justify the cost of buying buses or contracting for them to bring students from surrounding communities to Green Isle, Menne said.

tional traffic on county roads.

But Mn/DOT decided to move all traffic off the Highway 169 while it worked on the roads, increasing traffic on the two Sibley County Roads to about 17,200 vehicles.

Sibley County commissioners recently OK’d a revised agreement with Mn/DOT. The revision was needed because more vehicles meant more money for Sibley County. The state will pay the county $8,894.19.

The work on Highway 169 is complete.

electricity to the building before the charter school opened 10 years ago.

“People who are shipping their kids out should know, if the school doesn’t make it, our taxes will go up,” he said.

Menne said she couldn’t predict where the tipping point is between enough students and an enrollment that would prompt the closing of the school. The charter school has tried an array of class configurations to ease the financial burden.

“We increased by 14 percent or so last year and families have been moving into the area which is promising. It is so tough to predict enrollment,” Menne said. “The school has been flexible over the years changing the class arrangements back again depending upon the enrollment numbers in the various grades and adjusting the staffing as need be.

We are constantly evaluating the budgetary needs against the needs of the program and make changes as we see fit.”

The city hopes a resurgence of the housing market and new houses being built on vacant lots will eventually provide more students to the school.

Councilor Todd Berg said his son benefited from attending the school.

“We need all the help we can get, just hang in there,” ZumBerge said. “We’ll figure something out.”

In other action at its Sept. 9 meeting, the Green Isle City Council: • Paid bills totaling $7,837.23.

• Approved an amendment to an agreement with Verizon Wireless for wireless communications equipment on the city’s water tower. The company will pay for engineering fees (up to $6,000) for placing its equipment on the water tower, $300 per month to hold space for its existing equipment, and also a monthly fee.

• Approved an ordinance governing billing for services from the Green Isle Fire Department.

• Rescheduled a presentation from Sibley County Sheriff Bruce Ponath or a member of his staff regarding vandalism in the city during the course of the summer.

H.S. Cross Country

Tigers Compete in Two Meets Meuleners Leads the Pack at Crown College

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School girls’ and boys’ cross country teams ran up against schools of all sizes last week, taking second and third, respectively, at Tuesday’s Waconia Invitational at Crown College before running up against some of the biggest schools in the state at Saturday’s Apple Valley Eagle Invitational.

The Tigers were scheduled to compete in a meet at Minneopa Golf Course in Mankato Tuesday after this edition of the Herald went to press. They will be at the Ney Center in Henderson for a meet hosted by Le SueurHenderson next Tuesday.

Girls’ Results

Crown College Belle Plaine’s Janessa Meuleners won her second race in a row after outrunning a field of 70 racers at Crown College last Tuesday. Unlike the previous week at Norwood Young America, Meuleners first-place finish was not enough to give the Tigers the team title.

It became 34-3 in the closing seconds of the third quarter when Tyler Grieves plowed into the end zone from a couple of yards out.

The Crusaders scored the only points of the fourth quarter when Jack Chmielewski tossed an 18-yard TD pass to Luke McCarty with 1:05 left to play.

“It was great to see our runners execute the way they did – Carter Brink and Luke Narveson did a great job running hard and making big plays,” said Belle Plaine coach Justin Johnston. “I thought our receivers, especially Branden Schulz, did a great job catching the ball and softening up their defense.

“Defensively, our kids played with discipline and passion,” Johnston continued. “Joe Hankins and Ben Stier did a great job flying around and making plays and the defense played really well as group. I was proud of the effort in all three phases of the game.”

tune was taking place for Belle Plaine compared to Tuesday’s come-from-behind victory.

The Tigers, who won the first two sets 25-13 and 25-18, looked as though they were heading for a quick three-set sweep. But the Giants took a big lead in the third set and held on for a 25-23 win. The visitors then jumped out to a commanding 13-3 advantage in the fourth set. But Belle Plaine, shortly after a time out, began to chip away at the lead and eventually come out on top 25-21 for the four-set win.

“Although we aren’t consistently competing at what we believe is our highest level, we did play the best ball we have in a couple of weeks,” Koch said.

“Finally at full strength and back to our beginning-of-theseason lineup, the comfort and confidence was evident. It was particularly nice to see a reduction in unforced errors and see players make adjustments throughout the match based on LS-H’s offensive threats. Any win over a championship program like LS-H is a win to be proud of.”

Poitra matched her kill total of Tuesday night with 23, followed by Hentges (16), Kruger (4), Koepp (3) and Taylor (1).

Kruger and Johnson both had 13 digs and Narveson six. Tay-

Not only was Belle Plaine back to its “beginning-of-theseason lineup,” its top hitter and reigning MRC player of the year, Mariena Hayden, is reportedly on the mend from an offseason back injury and could be back on the court in a matter of weeks.

Minnesota Showcase The Tigers wrapped up a busy week with a tournament at the Midwest Volleyball Warehouse in Burnsville Friday and Saturday. It was a splendid Friday night for Belle Plaine, which defeated Roseau 25-20, 25-21; Cannon Falls via a tiebreaker (biggest point spread) 25-16, 19-25; and Hill-Murray 25-22, 25-21.

The tournament was not as pleasant for the Tigers on Saturday as they lost all three matches. Included were 25-23, 22-25, 10-15 to Melrose; 16-25, 20-25 to Concordia; and 20-25, 26-28 in a second match with Cannon Falls.

“Friday night we played very consistently, getting good performances from all our starters,” said Koch. “The team was on a high, gathering their third through fifth victories of the week. Saturday morning, we started with a hard-fought match against Melrose, but couldn’t seal the deal, losing

Narveson completed 8 of 12 passes for 149 yards and one touchdown. Schulz caught four of those for 84 yards. Also with receptions were Paul Nasby (two for 46 yards), Wolke (one for 16 yards) and Vinkemeier (one for 3 yards).

Brink finished up with 107 yards on five carries. Other leading rushers were Narveson (eight for 70 yards and three TDs), Vinkemeier (one for 56 yards), Marcus Walsh (seven for 24 yards) and Stier (three for 17 yards).

Ben Wagner had one interception. The tackling leaders for Belle Plaine were Hankins (10), Taylor Yahnke (9), Stier (8), Dylan Johnson (7), Kincade Retzer (7), Grieves (6), Nathan Herman (5), Danny McCann (5), Vinkemeier (4), Wagner (3), Sam Gavin (3) Alec Selly (3), Adam Glisczinski (3) and Wolke (2).

Belle Plaine will head to Le Sueur-Henderson for a 7 p.m. game this Friday. LS-H, like Mayer Lutheran, is still seeking its first win of the season. The Giants lost at Jordan 35-12 Friday night, after having suffered

From there, the exhaustion set in from the week and our error totals rose significantly. When you give away more free points than you make your opponents earn, you aren’t ever going to end with a win. We have a few days off now and hopefully the girls will recharge for another week and weekend of good volleyball.”

Belle Plaine’s strength continued to be its doubles teams, which have dominated MRC competition this season. Winning Thursday (from one to three) were Jane Schneider and Kate Schmit over Lexie Lightfoot and Nicole Samuelson 6-1, 6-2; Rachel Schroers and Leah Schaefer over Katelyn Behr and Alyssa Clay 6-3, 5-7, 6-2; and Shannon Egan and Sarah Luskey over Veronica Steinhoff and Lydia Read 6-1, 6-3.

Tigers Complete Hectic Week

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School volleyball team rallied to defeat defending state Class 1A champion Southwest Christian last Tuesday and followed that up with a Minnesota River Conference triumph over Le Sueur-Henderson on Thursday, thus turning a two-match losing streak into a two-match winning streak.

On Saturday, the Tigers headed to the Midwest Volleyball Warehouse in Burnsville for the Minnesota Showcase Tournament, where they won three of six matches.

The Tigers are scheduled to travel to Tri-City United for a MRC match 7:15 p.m. this Thursday. They will be at a tournament in Chanhassen this Saturday before traveling to Sibley East for a conference match next Tuesday.

Tigers 3, S.W. Christian 2 Belle Plaine had lost 3-0 in its previous two contests (both at home) and were trailing 2-0 last Tuesday night against defending state Class 1A champion Southwest Christian. The Tigers then decided enough was enough and battled back to win the next three sets, thus snapping their losing streak at two matches.

The final tallies in the match were 19-25, 20-25, 25-10, 2521, 15-5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t particularly pleased with how we started the match, but I was proud of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will to push on and elevate their play throughout the night,â&#x20AC;? said Belle Plaine coach Cassie Koch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed a win in the worst way to kickoff a week full of competition. It was nice to see the girls recognize the impact and push through.â&#x20AC;?

The good thing about five-set matches is that they give players a chance to pad their stat totals. That was the case for Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dakotah Poitra, who unleashed a team-high 23 kills to go along with 19 digs and three ace serves.

Kaylee Hentges finished up with 13 kills, six ace serves and four digs. Other statistical leaders for the Tigers were Taylor Kruger (nine kills and 13 digs) and Danielle Taylor (40 set assists, five digs and three kills).

Elizabeth Johnson and Paige Narveson both had 12 digs, while McKenzie Koepp had four kills and Amelia Kahle one.

Tigers 3, LS-H 1 It appeared for a time Thursday night that a reversal of for-

Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Johnny Vinkemeier, following blocker Ben Stier, scooted around some Mayer Lutheran defenders Friday night. He also had a 56-yard run that set up the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first touchdown.

The Tigers improved to 2-1 in the Minnesota River Conference, 2-2 overall. The Crusaders slipped to 0-3, 0-4 overall.

The Tigers got things rolling their way early Friday. For the fourth time in as many outings The Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Danielle Taylor (No. 14) had 39 set assists and Kaylee Hentges (No. 10) had 16 kills this season, they scored the first points of the game via a gamein Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory over LS-H at the BPHS gym. opening 80-yard touchdown drive highlighted by a 56-yard run by Johnny Vinkemeier that

led to a 5-yard keeper to the end zone by quarterback Luke Narveson. The extra-point kick was no good and it was 6-0 with 9:13 left in the first quarter.

The Crusaders also drove down the field on their first possession but the drive stalled and Andrew Wolf was called on for a 28-yard field goal attempt. He delivered, making it 6-3 with 3:41 left in the opening quarter.

Belle Plaine got double those points back when it drove 71 yards on a nice mix of the run and pass, culminating on a 15yard scamper by Narveson. The two-point try was no good but it was 12-3 with 1:16 left in the first quarter.

Mayer Lutheran went three

and out on its next possession and Belle Plaine then had an apparent 40-yard touchdown pass from Narveson to Ryan Wolke called back by a penalty.

After forcing the Crusaders to punt again, the Tigers responded with a one-play scoring drive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 46-yard TD sprint by freshman Carter Brink. Narveson hooked up with Vinkemeier for the two-point conversion and it was 20-3 heading into halftime.

A TV Star for a Day Belle Plaine Police Chief Tom Stolee, pictured with reporter Kelli Hanson, was featured on a five-minute segment of the Twin Cities Live show on Monday. The feature involved Stolee recently winning a short essay contest, for which he received a free laser eye procedure from Joffe Medi-Center valued at over $2,700. Stolee talked about how the less than five-minute procedure has changed his life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole new world,â&#x20AC;? Stolee told the doctor. Stolee added that it was his wife, Amy, who convinced him to enter the contest. Amy watches the show regularly. Stolee said the procedure will make it easier for him to do his job for a number of reasons, most notably no longer having to fiddle around with contacts when called to duty all hours of the night. The entire Twin Cities Live segment with Stolee can be viewed at twincitieslive.com/article/stories/s3568096.shtml.

Over 100 people welcomed Capt. Karen Anderson and her husband, Ken, to the Belle Plaine Vets Club for a homecoming celebration Monday evening. Anderson, a member of the 452nd Combat Support Hospital, spent 10 months deployed in Kuwait.

Capt. Anderson (continued from page 1)

members of the American Legion, VFW and their auxiliaries also thanked Anderson for her service. Cobornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also delivered a gift certificate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for all youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done and for all youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do. You are spectacular,â&#x20AC;? Pingalore said.

Jennifer (Miller) Rosetta, a former Belle Plaine resident who now lives in Minneapolisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Uptown neighborhood, said the welcome home makes all the work worthwhile. Rosetta is also a captain in the 452nd, though she was not deployed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I live in Minneapolis and if I came home, there wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be any fire truck ride or anything.

This is what makes a small town cool,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just great.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Least ...â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

50 Years of Friendship What started as a get together for a barbecue 50 years ago between five couples turned into an ongoing tradition. The group, from left, is Joe and Eileen Skluzacek, Pat and Arnold Gansen, Lois and Ron Solheid, Rosie Solheid (her husband died in 1982), and Marion and Larry Entinger. Over the 50 years, each of the couples have hosted a barbecue at their home each summer. Between them, they had 25 children, so they had to make sure there were enough hamburgers. After their children grew up, they continued to have the five barbecues each summer. Each couple also hosts card parties at their homes during the winter. In 1976, they all went to Hawaii as a group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We enjoy each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company and hope we can continue to carry on our tradition,â&#x20AC;? said Marion Entinger.

Kati Grengs, a friend of Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, was pleased with Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to the call for support of a returning soldier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have missed this for Karen,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the least we can do.â&#x20AC;?

The celebration caught the guest of honor by surprise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was totally surprised. I never

expected anything like this,â&#x20AC;?

Anderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is incredible.â&#x20AC;?

In Kuwait, Anderson managed an emergency room at a military base hospital. Her superiors wanted the performance and efficiency of the ER improved when the 452nd arrived last fall.

That meant long days, many lasting 14 hours, as injured soldiers deployed to the Middle East were cared for and recuperated. Anderson had plenty of other duties besides her work in the ER that contributed to the long days.

The few days since Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return have been filled with firsts since last November.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driven a car, enjoyed a beer, worn civilian clothes and made her own meals.

But Anderson admits, part of her misses her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Army family,â&#x20AC;? soldiers she spent much of the last year working alongside.

Ken Anderson said the reintegration has been emotional at times. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proud no one died under care of the 452nd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are people I may never see again,â&#x20AC;? she said.

While Anderson communi-

cated home via text messages and an occasional Skype connection, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how much she missed being with her family until Christmas Day. The Army did all it could to keep morale up, but Christmas in the desert wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tough,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The biggest change, she said, is being on her own time. Unlike being on duty, where a highly regimented schedule is the norm, Anderson is reintegrating into civilian life where she is able to do what she wants when she wants. Anderson doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return to her civilian job for about six weeks.

She and Ken, look forward to presenting Nightmare on Buffalo Streetâ&#x20AC;? after a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiatus. The Andersons didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to prepare the annual Halloween presentation in their front yard last fall while Karen was preparing to deploy.

They hope this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation will be as good as ever. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really looking forward to it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already been working on it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt like we let everybody down last year by not being here, but we knew theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d understand.â&#x20AC;?
