ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIRST YEAR

BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA, SEPTEMBER 5, 2012

First Day Goodbye

Mark, Marilyn and Bruce Koepp welcomed visitors to their new hog barn last Thursday afternoon.

For Koepps, New Hog Barn a Long Time in Making

There were times in the past year when the paperwork and labyrinth of government red tape was more than Mark Koepp thought he could stand.

Last Thursday, the headaches seemed a distant memory. Koepp, his son Bruce and family gathered at their new hog barn off Johnson Way in Blakeley Township, about three miles southwest of Belle Plaine and just southwest of the Blakeley Township Hall at the junction of County Road 1 and Highway 169.

The open house was intended to present the technological wonder of the new facility Ko-

epp intends will keep his family among the leading hog operations in the region once informally known as hog alley.

Koepp planned the new 25,000-square-foot barn would be in use this week. By today, it will be two-thirds full, housing about 2,600 hogs. By Oct. 15, Koepp expects it will be full, with about 4,000 hogs.

The 51-year-old Koepp stresses the new hog barn is not for him, but for his 21-year-old son and business partner, Bruce.

“That’s pretty special that he’d do that for me, that he’d have that much faith in me,” Bruce Koepp said.

OLP Fall Festival Sunday Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic Church in Belle Plaine will hold its annual Fall Festival on Sunday, Sept. 10.

The event will begin with a Praise and Worship Mass at 10 a.m.. A chicken and ham dinner will follow from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The cost of the dinner is $10 for adults, $5 for children 3 to 10 years and free for ages

2 and under. Takeouts are available for $10.

The Ernie Stumpf Ban will perform from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The church grounds will also feature the Country Store, bingo, crafts, a raffle, children’s games, bake sale, refreshments and food stand. A wood and quilt auction will take place at 2 p.m.

Gateway to Fall Emma Krumbee’s Scarecrow Festival Starts Saturday For those of you who enjoy the transition from summer to autumn, there will be plenty of “sights for fall eyes” in Belle Plaine over the next two months.

Nearly $7,000 in cash prizes will be awarded when Emma Krumbee’s Restaurant and Orchard opens its 29th annual Great Scarecrow Festival this Saturday. The festival will continue through Oct. 28.

Some 100 unique, handcrafted scarecrows are entered and displayed each year at the festival.

Brochures and entry rules are available at the restaurant or at www.emmakrumbees.com, from which you can also register online. You can also call 952-873-3006 for more information.

Judging will begin at noon Saturday and awards will be presented at 2:30 p.m. All judges are volunteers and are not em-

Like his father, the younger Koepp has grown up as a hog farmer. He has learned the science and trade along the way.

“He respects my point of view and I respect his,” Mark said.

It’s a different industry today than the one Mark grew up in.

Technology is far more important now. Thanks to high-tech equipment, hogs are fed and watered with far greater efficiency than ever before. They will consume less than eight bushels of corn from weanling until they area ready for market at 240 pounds.

The new feeding machines all but eliminate wasted corn and water. Feed that drops from the tray will land in the water and make soupy malt.

They say hogs love it.

The new barn is bright and well ventilated. The powerful fans complete the exchange of air in the barn every three minutes.

Earlier this year, Mark Koepp told Scott County the new barn amounted to an investment in agriculture of just under $1 million. The county board supported it unanimously.

The Koepps aimed the new barn toward the southeast, where low water levels and decaying weeds at Clark’s Lake already create an occasionally tainted scent. The Koepps are sensitive to the suggestion manure from their operation is the primary source of foul air in Belle Plaine.

“When Belle Plaine smells manure, it isn’t always me,” he said.

Only one resident, a neighbor to Koepp’s new barn, offered

Eric Johnson said goodbye to his daughter Rachel just before the start of her first day of kindergarten at Chatfield Elementary School Tuesday morning. Standing close by his Rachel’s mother Jean, who accompanied Eric to the classroom for the occasion. The school was expecting some 135 kindergartners to begin the school year. The projected enrollment for first grade was 134 and for second grade 123, for a total of 392 students at Chatfield (seven more than last year). Oak Crest Elementary School was expecting a total of 478 students in grades 3-6, 17 more than last year. The junior-senior high school was expecting 480 students in grades 712, an increase of 27 over last year. More back-to-school photos appear on page 16.

First-grader Carson Retzer offered a bite of his apple to classmate Logan Reynolds during lunch break Tuesday at Chatfield Elementary School. Curiously watching on is classmate Kendra Eiden. Starting this year, school cafeterias must offer more fruits and vegetables to their students, and reduce carbohydrates, meat and calories.

New Lunch Program Will Have Different Taste, Cost

A new federally mandated school lunch program is bringing more fruits and vegetables to the Belle Plaine Schools’ cafeterias. The school district and its food service staff from Taher hope the program agrees with the pallets of students.

The new program marks the first major changes the USDA has mandated in school lunches since the late-1990s. Known as the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act Congress approved, the program is aimed at reducing childhood obesity.

Among the biggest change in Belle Plaine is the requirement students purchasing a school lunch take a serving of fruits and vegetable.

Carrie Donovan, the district’s food service director, expects Belle Plaine students who partake in the meal program will at least try the new selections of fresh fruits and vegetables since many of the meals the district has served in the past included fruits and vegetables.

The new program does not impact the a la carte menu at the junior-senior high school.

The new program means students will receive orange or red vegetables, dark green vegetables, starchy vegetables and legume during the week. The program also requires half of the grains will be whole grainrich. Milk will be fat free, 1

No Matter How You Define It, County Board Split on Levy Hike Depending on which set of numbers and definitions you look at, Scott County is either planning to raise property taxes slightly or decrease them slightly. Commissioners split on the issue Tuesday by a 3-2 vote in favor of a half-percent preliminary gross levy increase of the 2013 property tax levy.

Tuesday’s decision is based on the definitions of the spread levy or the gross levy. The approved increase in the preliminary gross levy, from $60.51 million to $60.82 million, is based on the county-influenced activities, a proposed increase of $305,000. The spread levy is based on the amount of taxes spread to county property taxpayers, a decrease of $543,031 thanks to anticipated increases in county program aid to Scott County from the state and additional revenue from fiscal disparities, a program meant to

equalize the tax burden among cities and counties. The spread levy dropped from $51.97 million in 2012 to $51.43 million in 2013.

Commissioner Jon Ulrich of Savage noted the approximately 1 percent decrease in the spread levy.

“Those are still tax dollars,” said Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township. He and Commissioner David Menden of Shakopee opposed the gross levy increase. “You can call it what you want — spread levy or gross levy -- but it’s still money from people.”

County Administrator Gary Shelton said the county has long focused on the gross levy, “because that’s our budget.” He conceded Minnesota’s system

Belle Plaine’s Blu Moll enjoys her frequent visits to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. As a “friend” of the festival, she enjoys the costumes and festive atmosphere.

B.P. Woman Spends Weekends as ‘Fest Friend’ A Belle Plaine firefighter watches flames consume the old farmhouse Saturday afternoon.

Firefighters Enjoy A Slow Burn

by Karen Swenson Used as a training devise, an old farm house succumbed to flames during a controlled burn by the Henderson Fire Department Saturday morning, September 1.

Commonly known as the Don Mediger farm, Adam Conrad recently purchased the property on 300th Street in Henderson Township, to build a new home.

A fireman himself, Conrad offered the fire department the building for training purposes.

Firefighters from Henderson and Belle Plaine and emergency medical staff from South Central Emergency Medical Systems, and Le Center and Le Sueur ambulance associations gathered on the property shortly after 7 a.m.

Prior to the burn the property was readied for the event by removing trees and other debris close to the structure.

Not every house is a good candidate for a training burn, but this structure was conveniently located far enough away from neighboring homes to keep fire

threats low.

It was a slow and purposeful burn that lasted into the afternoon hours. Individual fires were set in single rooms inside the home, allowing teams of firefighters to enter the house and go through their training exercises to properly put out the fires.

Within 90 seconds of igniting a burn pile, the heat became intense enough to singe hair.

Within three minutes, the windows were being blown out by the heat.

Firefighter Eric Helgeson was with one of the first teams to enter the burning home. “Brandon’s good,” said Helgeson referring to Henderson Fire Chief Brandon Phillips. “He pushes you, but at the same time you are safe.”

“You can’t’ just go in there and start spraying,” said Helgeson, “the heat would go crazy.

It’s more science.”

A thermal layer quickly develops where the hottest air and gases rise, allowing for ventilation and making lower levels of

the room safer for firefighters.

Improper water application to unvented areas disrupts the thermal balance, causing smoke to steam and circulate within all levels of the fire area. This creates a dangerous situation for firefighters who are maneuvering on their knees through the burning room.

After each team left the building, emergency medical staff took three sets of vitals and rehydrated the exhausted firefighters with bottles of water, allowing them back to duty only when their vitals had trended down.

The burn continued until all teams were pulled from the house and the fire was allowed to consume the entire building. The department continued to spray water to the outside walls, allowing the building to collapse in upon itself.

Many area residents gathered nearby to observe the spectacle.

While fascinating to watch, the burn is a sobering reminder of the dangers firefighters face in their service to the community

When it comes to people watching and having a good time, Blu Moll says there’s no place like the Renaissance Festival. She can’t imagine spending a weekend anywhere else.

“There’s no place else you can go and see anything like it,” Moll said.

Moll is one of several dozen “Fest Friends,” a group of men and women who routinely enjoy the Renaissance Festival and spend time there during its run from mid-August through late-September. Moll visits the festival one day each weekend.

She and Laura & Rob Benjamin are the only Belle Plaine residents on Fest Friends’ membership roster.

An organization separate from Mid-America Festivals, operators of the Minnesota Renaissance Festivals and its staff, Fest Friends bills itself as a social group of patrons and participants who share a love of the festival and enjoys camaraderie with other friends of the festival. Fest Friends will also get together for social events between the end of the festival and its late-summer return.

Fest Friends are a strolling part of the festival’s ambiance.

They’ll stop in at any of the different shows, visit pubs on the

festival grounds, interact in period dialect among themselves and chat with other festival visitors or regular characters like trolls, rat catcher, the mud girl, the king and queen, court jesters that are part of the entertainment.

By paying a fee for a season pass, Fest Friends receive a separate area where they can store their personal items in favor of period costumes.

They have their own spacious restroom area and enjoy light refreshments provided by MidAmerica Festivals.

For Moll, 49, a visit to the Renaissance Festival is an opportunity to enjoy music, relax and dance. A few years back, she took belly-dancing lessons. Her instructor is one of the dancers at the festival.

“You hear the drums and the music and just start dancing,” she said.

Moll has different costumes she wears to the festival, depending on the weather. She can go as a pirate, a fairy or a belly dancer. “It’s a chance to be someone else,” she said.

Growing up in Edina and south Minneapolis in the late’60s and early-’70s, Moll went to her first Renaissance Festival

in the 1970s as a child with her parents. Later, as a teenager, the festival became one of her regular hangouts. A talented artist herself, she bought into the costumes and atmosphere of the festival.

“I totally fell in love with the jingles and all the pretty clothes,” she said.

While many people fret over the cost of a ticket ($21.95 for adults at the gate, $12.95 for children), Moll thinks of it as an opportunity for value. During her weekend visits, she’ll check out magicians, comedians, dancers, singers or raptor handlers, visit pubs and watch artisans. “A lot of people don’t realize how many different things there are you can do,” she said. “There are so many places to hang out. The pubs are great and the food is awesome.”

Her daughter, Storm, works for Mid-America Festival during the week on the grounds crew.

She also enjoys the festival and its costumes on weekends.

The Renaissance Festival runs Labor Day and weekends through Sept. 28. The festival grounds are in Louisville Township west of Highway 169 and north of the highway’s intersection with County Road 14.

September is Library Card Sign Up Month. We are observing the American Library Association national campaign, originally started in 1987, to increase library awareness.

During the month of September, you can get a free library card or free replacement library card. If you library card is lost or damaged or you never took the time to get a library card, now is the time to do so. We will gladly help you become a member of your local library.

September 5th holds a few historical items that caught my eye while doing some reading. September 5th is the birth anniversary of Jesse James, the famous bank robber. I was surprised that he and his brother, Frank, along with their gang of six additional outlaws were more than bank robbers. They robbed anything, anywhere. Banks were just one of their specialties. That worked for them until they messed around with Minnesota people. The attempt to rob a bank in Northfield, Minnesota lost their six helpers. The James brothers went on to form a new gang. Their selection of assistants was not their best work. One of the new gang shot Jesse James and turned him in for the $10,000 bounty. Given the fate of the previous six gang members, he probably felt this was a safer way for him to go.

All of this happened between 1873 and 1882 during the thirty four life time of Jesse James. It is an interesting bit of American history with a Minnesota connection. If you would like to learn more details, come to your library.

Stephanie Plum fans might be interested to know that we have the DVD of “One For The Money”. The movie is based on Janet Evanovich’s first book in the Stephanie Plum series. I had a chance to watch the movie and I felt that the movie maker maintained the spirit of the book quite well. I may need to reread the book now to refresh my memory of the details and see where it might vary from the movie story line.

The first Labor Day observance was on September 5, 1882 in New York City. Historians debate who originally came up with the idea for the holiday.

We hope that you had a safe and happy Labor Day weekend.

The weekend is sort of an unofficial end of summer. Many people have had their vacations.

School is starting. Your local library, here in Belle Plaine goes back to “winter” hours by being open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday.

Diane Wilson. If you would like to join the club, stop at the library to get a copy of the book.

Meeting is on September 27.

Library Hours: Sunday & Monday Closed Tuesday 10a.m. to 5 p.m.

Wednesday 1-8 p.m.

Thursday 1-8 p.m Friday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Letter Written on Battle Field of Birch Coulie in ‘62 The following story was written by J. E. Townsend founder of the Belle Plaine Herald. He was a witness to life in Belle Plaine before and after the Dakota conflict of 1862. This article was originally written and published in 1934.

By J. E. Townsend The following letter is an old time letter written by my father, E. C. Townsend. Different towns up the river have anniversary celebrations of the Indian massacre with many letters written for publication by persons who had taken part in the Indian uprising, but these letters were all written for publication many years afterwards.

The novelty of the one give here is that it was written while on the grounds during the terrible excitement, and, as you will see, was not written for publication.

The letter was found among some old documents in 1913 and is in a good state of preservation. By way of explanation, night say that immediately after the uprising my father joined a volunteer company from Belle Plaine and took his team to haul provisions etc., horses being very scare those days, and as will be seen by his letter, he kept busy teaming between St. Peter and Fort Ridgley.

Joseph Edward Townsend houses, and stacks of hay and grain in flames, houses deserted, murders committed and no inhabitants left in that part of the country. I have not time to give you the particulars now, but will do so if I live to see you once more. It is the flower of this part of the country.

There is at present thousands of acres of wheat and barely not stacked and all the people left the country, many leaving everything they had. We went from there to St. Peter, having traveled about fifty miles.

The next day we left for the fort which took us three days.

There the buildings were, many of them burned to ashes, others robbed and disolation was seen for forty-five miles through as fine a country as anyone would wish to travel, but now left with all its grain of the best quality, potatoes in abundance, turnips and all vegetables. We got to the fort and the smell at the foot of the hill was very bad from dead bodies. Some were Indians and others white inhabitants that were killed at the fight they had there. They burned all the out buildings, store houses, stores, wagons and everything they could outside the main building and fired through the windows of the latter.

I left with the forty-five teams Friday for St. Peter, with two hundred and upwards of men, women and children, most of whom had seen hard times and heavy troubles. They went to the fort for safety, having fled from their homes, many with nothing but their chemise and some frocks, many nearly naked. The dead and murdered I shall not give you an account of at present.

The calvary left the fort. Hearing no account from them, the artillery and infantry left the next evening and we got to the field of battle in time to save many of our men who were being surrounded by the Indians, but before we reached them they had shot all the horses and completely riddled them with bullets. Out of one hundred and two horses only two returned to the fort, the one was the horse

Smith, the bugler, rode and this one had two flesh wounds. The other, a grey horse belonging to the St. Peter calvary. Smith received two wounds in the arm and one in the thigh but is out of danger. Hallbrook and Hubert Schmitt were shot dead instantly. There were seventeen died on the battle field and five since they came to the fort. Sherwin had a fracture of the ribs but is out of danger. There were forty-five wounded in the hospital in the fort, the particulars you will get if I live to see you.

In haste from your affectionate husband.

E. C. TOWNSEND Explanatory note: The Hubert Schmitt mentioned in the letter was an uncle of Matt Schmitt, our former brewer; Sherwin was an uncle of F. J. and Miss Dorla Whitlock. The latter died from his wounds after my father had written his letter, and both bodies were brought back to Belle Plaine for burial, these being among the few that didn’t have to be buried where they were killed. A brother of the above Sherwin was also killed in the Civil War soon after Lucian Smith, the bugler, was a son of our pioneer blacksmith, David M. Smith. He had been a printer in the Belle Plaine Enquirer office when it was in existence, and was founder of the Hutchinson Leader about a year before I started the Herald.

Keyser and Crossen were former boarders of ours when they work in the foundry. J. Guion was another volunteer from Belle Plaine, who was mentioned in some of my previous articles as one of our first settlers and who claimed to have taken part in tying the nooses for the 38 Indians that were hung at Mankato, December 26, 1862.

“Charley” was his best horse and the Covington horse was one he had just bought from Covington, who lived on the farm now owned by Chas. Stier at the big curve in T. H. No. 169, a mile south of town. This, I think, explains everything in the letter with the exception of the “dear boy,” then nine years of age, which is your humble servant.

The name “Birch Coulie” does not appear in my father’s letter, (perhaps not know to him at the time) but being with the rescuing party and his description of the battle agrees with that memorable fight, I have a pistol, or derringer as some call it, that my father picked up on the battle field, a muzzle-loader, requiring powder, ball and cap and is self-cocking. There was no cap on it, when found, and as it had been snapped several times without exploding the

Eye-Witness of Battle St. Peter, September 7th, 1862.

Dear Wife: I now write to you, hoping this will find you in good health and the dear boy which I left behind. We are in great trouble in this part of the state, having many difficulties to contend with. I am happy to say that I have been well in health since I left home but have seen hard times. I have not slept on a bed but once since I left and that was at Keyser’s, St. Peter.

Henry Crossen is boarding with him and they all send their respects to you. I am writing this in his house.

We have fifty-five teams here today for Fort Ridgley. We left the fort yesterday at ten o’clock and got to St. Peter at eleven o’clock last night. We loaded up store goods from the warehouse and steamboat for the fort and start back tomorrow, Monday. I have tried every way to get back but can not at present. Expect horses will not stand the work much longer. The Covington horse I have given up once but is now at work again. I have him here with Charley.

supposition was it had been fired and not reloaded. On his return home my father spent the night with his friend Kayser at St. Peter again and in describing the pistol to him it was accidentally discharged, the ball passing close to Mr. Kayser’s head and through two partitions. The hammer in striking the cap was suppose to have caused some friction.

After this I never got to see many Indians until the middle 70’s when I was at Ottawa and had occasion to go to St. Peter almost weekly in the summer time. Generally made it on foot, taking a short cut through Traverse de Sioux, which cut the distance down to about five miles. The railroad at that time went around a big marsh making the distance over eight miles that way. Since then the railroad was changed near to the bank of the river cutting out the big marsh and shortening the distance over three miles.

Getting back to Indians again I found quite a number at Traverse, which it was called for short, but they were on civilized order then, dressing more like the whites and could speak English. The place looked like an old deserted village, most of its early white settlers having moved to St. Peter nearby, in fact some moved their frame buildings to the latter city. During my frequent trips through the place it looked as though every old shack was occupied by the Indians, some of the buildings being once business houses judging from them. Very little left now of this village, one of the earliest in the valley and said to have had from 200 to 300 inhabitants in the early 50’s. Traverse de Sioux will always be remembered as the place here the great treaty between the United State and the various tribes of Indians too place July 23, 1851, by which the west side of the Mississippi and the valley of the Minnesota river were opened to the enterprise of the hardy emigrant.

About once a year, generally in the spring, I would see a lot of Indians going through Ottawa to Traverse, probably about twenty-five, men, women and children, with one or two ponies hitched up the same as in early days with a pole on each side of the pony and the rear ends dragging on the ground with brace between, for their blankets and other baggage, including papooses. I concluded these tribes were simply visiting one another. This was the last I ever saw of Indians in any great number and hope this lengthy narrative on the subject has not fatigued you.

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Stolen Plane Found in Belle Plaine A twin engine Beechcraft Baron airplane, reported stolen from the Beech Aero Center in Eden Prairie, was discovered at the Belle Plaine airport in early September of 1982, five days after it was found missing. The plane, valued at approximately $110,000, had been stripped of its engines, instruments and radio. According to Sibley County Sheriff Roger Graham, who is pictured above inspecting the plane, the alleged thief talked to an area resident living near the airport, explaining that he was working on the plane and should not be concerned. The theft was being investigated by the Sibley County Sheriff’s Department, Eden Prairie Police Department and Federal Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

About 60 people overflowed the Belle Plaine City Council chamber that Tuesday evening, most of whom were there to express their dissatisfaction with the Belle Plaine Police Department. William Chard presented to the council a petition with over 400 names of Belle Plaine and area residents stating their opposition to the department.

Some businessmen felt they were losing customers because of harassment of farmers and residents by the department.

One resident said he was so disgusted with Belle Plaine police that he was selling his place in Belle Plaine and moving to Le Sueur County. A farmer was quoted as saying he didn’t buy a pickup truck in Belle Plaine because of the police situation.

Another resident, on the other hand, pointed out that drinkingrelated ambulance runs were “way down” that year, which he added “speaks very highly for our police force.” No conclusion was reached in 1 1/2 hours of wrangling.

Belle Plaine merchants were holding Cra$ee Da$e that week, which included sidewalk sales with Cra$ee Da$e buys.

Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic Church in Belle Plaine was set to host its annual church festival on Sept. 12. A family-style dinner of chicken and ham would be served in the church basement with the cost being $4.25 for adults and $2 for children. The Country Store would be open, surrounded by children’s games and family entertainment all day.

The Belle Plaine High School football squad won the battle of statistics but not the final score as it lost to St. MichaelAlbertville 6-0 in overtime in the 1982 season opener. The Tigers had 196 yards of total offense compared to just 93 for the Knights. Tony Legg had 64 yards rushing for Belle Plaine, followed by Jeff Larson and Adam Johnson with 30 and 27 yards, respectively. On defense, the Tigers were led by Matt

Hartman, Eric Johnson and Pat Duffy.

The Tiger tennis team lost to Cannon Falls 4-1 and Shakopee 3-2 before defeating New Prague 3-2 to begin the season 1-2. Winning their matches against New Prague were Ann Buesgens and Romi Schneider in singles play, and the doubles team of Amy Townsend and Melanie Martin.

Despite an early 3-0 lead, the Jordan Brewers lost to the Dundas Dukes 6-4 in the championship game of the state Class B amateur baseball tournament in St. Cloud. Pitching for the Brewers was Belle Plaine player Terry Knop, who had been drafted by Jordan for the tournament.

60 Years Ago (1952)

The Belle Plaine Commercial Club resumed its monthly meetings to be held in the new Tiger Room of Clyde Bristol’s cafe.

Following by a few days the death of his brother, Martin Jahn, occurred the death of Paul A. Jahn, 83, near Milan, Ill. Like his brother, Martin was born in Lanesburg Township, Le Sueur County.

A Norwood man was arrested

by Scott County Sheriff W.B. Schroeder and charged with third-degree burglary in connection with the breaking and entering into Voss Produce in Belle Plaine and the theft of several cases of eggs. He was sentenced to serve up to one year in the state reformatory in St. Cloud.

The Scott brothers of San Francisco Township sold their farm to a man from Illinois, who was to take possession that fall. In turn, the Scott brothers bought a house in Belle Plaine, the property of John Zaun.

The purchaser of the Emil Latzke farm at the east side of Belle Plaine (formerly known as the Burmeister place) was Wilbert J. Balk of St. Henry, Le

Charles Goetz of East Union had the misfortune to get his left hand and arm drawn into a field chopper while working at silo filling on the Coleman farm. The hand was amputated above the wrist.

Oscar A. Erdman purchased from the Buszmann estate the property at the north end of the block from Trinity Lutheran Church. He planned to tear the old house down and erect a new dwelling on the site.

A contract in the amount of $492,238 had been let for the grading of the 6.3 miles of the new 169 highway southwest from Belle Plaine. The job marked the start of construction of a four-lane divided trunk route from Mankato to Minneapolis.

In the four-way race for county commissioner in the 1st (Belle Plaine) district, Charles Haas, incumbent, was the highest in all four precincts. His total vote exceeded that of the combined field. Emil Karnitz ran second and would be Mr. Haas’ opponent in the November election.

John Koenig and Nick Schommer were eliminated.

Local voters in the primary election followed the state trend in having a decided preference for present office holders. Thye, C. Elmer Anderson and O’Hara were heavy winners. Representative M.R. Moriarty of Jordan was given a substantial mark-up, the borough vote being Moriarty 403, Egan 81 and Frederickson 57. In Blakeley, Moriarty received 84, Egan 25 and Frederickson 24.

M.J. Kehoe of Jessenland led the field in the Sibley County commissioner race with more votes than his two opponents together. Fred Hebeisen, Green Isle, was the incumbent commissioner. Engleman was eliminated.

The Belle Plaine Tigers were still on the march, winning the league championship when Fred Keup homered in the seventh to top St. Peter 4-2 in the fifth and final game of that series. They then won the first game of the Class A division at the state tourney in Austin and moved into the state semifinals. It was an exciting climax to an extra-inning game when Minnow Mayer stole home in the 10th inning, which was followed by a successful squeeze bunt by Gene O’Brien, which carried Belle Plaine to a 4-2 victory.

A native of Green Isle Township, Neil McMahon was the new chief of police in St. Paul.

August F. Stier retired from farming and held an auction on the premises, the Julius Otto farm six miles northwest of Belle Plaine.

90 Years Ago (1922)

Movement was on to organize a town band. A.A. Ahmann, R.R. Mahler and Fred Keup made up the organizing committee.

The William Spellacy family was moving to St. Paul.

Albert Kirchoff died at the age of 82. A native of Germany, he had come to Belle Plaine in 1868 and lived here ever since.

William Westphal decided to resume farming again and moved onto the Fred Mueller farm in Hancock Township.

Delivery by truck of Minneapolis Sunday papers was started.

Mrs. J.R. Conlon was back from Swift Current, Sask., for a visit with relatives and old friends.

There was a large assembly at the Episcopal Church in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the church. Rev. Arthur Chard was here to preach at the service.

Edward Affolter sold half of his 160-acre farm to John Wolpern for $200 an acre; the half included the buildings.

John Murphy, 39, died of a heart attack on his farm in Washington Lake Township, the Mrs. J.C. Shaughnessy place. He was a native of St. Thomas parish.

The marriage of Marjorie Hert, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alva T. Hert of Blakeley, to Harold F. Bonde of Minneapolis took place.

Mr. and Mrs. Ed Halloran and Denis Connelly were back at their homes in St. Thomas after a 10-day vacation at Duluth and Two Harbors.

Henry Ruehling Sr., father of the Ruehling brothers of this community, died at his home in New Prague at the age of 70.

Born in Michigan, he came to Minnesota with his parents in his boyhood.

A Carver County girl, Lydia Zuehl, 24, of New Germany, was killed when the car in which she was riding went off the road near Young America.

The weather was decidedly variable. One September day was the hottest of the year, registering over 100 degrees.

Three days later, 48 degrees was recorded.

120 Years Ago (1892)

John A. Schoell came from St. Paul and with his father took over operation of the Dr. Moloney drug store that they had bought.

The bicycle furnished traffic accidents in those days. Joe Nicolin, C.H. Casey and M.R. Wilcox of Jordan, and E.E. Chard and M.A. Kilduff of Belle Plaine were out wheeling on a moonlit night. The head runner went into a rut and spilled himself. Others were so close upon him that all five piled in a heap, three bikes damaged.

One local man made a killing on the John L. Sullivan and Jim Corbett fight in New Orleans.

He bet all he had on Corbett.

There were 50 bets made in Belle Plaine on the fight, mostly on Sullivan, who was knocked out.

paid in rent, and at the end Letter to the Editor with of 10 years, the Belle Plaine Dear Editor, Though I shouldn’t be, I am constantly amazed at the compassion and support shown by the Belle Plaine community, both residential and commercial. I shouldn’t be amazed, I guess, because nearly every week I read in the Belle Plaine Herald of the community’s support for a family that has met hardship due to Mother Nature’s wrath, a child and its family in need of funds to help with medical bills, a family needing assistance because of a vehicle accident, or some other type of disaster.

As the treasurer of the Belle Plaine Food Shelf, I get to see how funds come into our account, and I am responsible for writing the checks to our venders. The donations we receive come strictly through the empathy, compassion and support of the community. We try our best to use those funds in the wisest and most responsible way. Here are some examples: The Belle Plaine Food Shelf is a strictly volunteer organization. There are no paid employees here. Volunteers may serve as little as two to three hours a month, or as many as 10 to 15 hours a week. We are a force of over 100 volunteers from the community, without whose dedication and caring we wouldn’t and couldn’t exist.

We owe our volunteers a lot.

We use the financial resources we receive to purchase food through Second Harvest Heartland, where our $1 to Second Harvest can purchase the equivalent of $9 worth of food in the retail market. That food, designed to provide five to seven meals per person per family per month, is provided at no cost to our clients.

Through Second Harvest, we have an arrangement with Coborn’s called a “rescue” program where we receive food from them that is close to its “sell by” date. This is food that,

by Coborn’s policy, was previously thrown out. It costs us nothing and we distribute it to our clients, and usually have it off our shelves before the expiration date. It’s a win – win – win situation. The clients receive a greater variety of food, we get food at no cost to the food shelf, and, through a donation receipt program, Coborn’s gets credit for the amount of food donated to use as a tax write-off, rather than just throwing that food away.

The next time you are in Coborn’s, please locate one of their managers and thank him for their support of the food shelf.

In May, the food shelf decided to purchase the building at 128 Meridian Street N., rather than continue renting the building at 149 Meridian Street N. The reason? Even after including remodeling loans, we pay more than $87 less per month than Check out our Summer rebate

Food Shelf will have saved over $10,440 in community donations. Those funds will instead, go towards food and the operation of the food shelf, and at the end of 10 years, the food shelf will own the building.

Written into our policy, by the way, is a statement that, should the food shelf cease to be needed any more (wouldn’t that be wonderful?), the building is to be sold, and the proceeds donated to the community’s school scholarship program.

I am, as I wrote before, extremely pleased and thankful of the way the food shelf has been accepted and supported here in Belle Plaine. It is my prayer that as we enter into our second year, the support will continue this year and through the coming years, in physical, financial and volunteer time contributions, and that the community will continue to support of our annual event in November.

There is another way, however, that people can support the food shelf. We are currently at or near the peak of production for our home gardens. The food shelf needs fresh fruit and vegetables. If community members should happen to have a couple of extra tomatoes, some beans or zucchini or cucumbers, or some apples off the tree in the back yard, they could drop them by the food shelf on Saturday mornings between 9 and noon or Wednesday evenings between 5 and 7 p.m. Food shelf volunteers will gladly issue a receipt for any donation.

On the behalf of the Belle Plaine Food Shelf, I would like to extend my appreciation to the community for its continued compassion and support.

Sincerely, Tom Bartholomew, treasurer, Belle Plaine Food Shelf

Peaches are in season! Try this wonderful slow cooker recipe. The peaches are combined with a sweet butterscotch sauce.

Caramel Peaches

6 peaches, peeled and sliced or 3 cans (14 oz.) peach halves drained and sliced 2 tsp. lemon juice 1 cup brown sugar 3 Tbsp. melted butter 1/4 cup whipping cream 1/2 tsp. cinnamon In a bowl, toss together peach slices and lemon juice.

In slow cooker, combine brown sugar, butter, cream and cinnamon; mix well. Add peach slices and toss to coat with the brown sugar mixture.

Salsa Contest Today

afternoon for her children and families and also Noreen and Aaron Seurer, Fran Barten and Flavian and Edna Weiers.

Mark and Lindsay Barten, newlyweds who reside in Manchester, CT, visited here with parents, the Fran Barten families and the Rybaks in New Prague several days last week.

The New Prague Community Band received a trophy for the best musical group in the Webster Harvest Days parade last Sunday. We are so proud!

Humor Corner: Because of his smoking habit, Ole was interested when he heard about “Cigarettes Anonymous�.

He learned that members, when faced with an uncontrollable urge to smoke, call up another member who comes over to see you. Then, they go out together and get drunk.

Where will the market be today? One more week at Union Square Park. We have been setting up in the parking lot behind the high school for the past two weeks. Today we will have a new challenge to meet since school has started and the parking lot is quite popular.

We will set up right in the park in a bit of a square so you can wander from one vendor to the other easily while you peruse the fabulous offerings.

There is no official word but from the looks of things we should be back to Court Square next week.

Today (Wednesday) is the big salsa contest. Bring a jar of your favorite unlabeled salsa to enter. We will have samples in the middle of the market for customers to sample and vote

Levy

years thanks to legislative action and increases commodity prices and rent farmers are receiving.

The additional revenue the county expects to receive should the board leave the half-percent increase in place will help fund infrastructure improvements that for the past few years have been put on hold and the strategic addition of a few staff people to meet service levels. “We’re not talking 10 or 20, but one or two here or there,� said Kevin Ellsworth, the county’s chief financial officer.

Other budget drivers the proposed levy hike will help fund include compensation to retain skilled staff, the switch of morgue/medical examiner services, payments to Three Rivers Park District, highway maintenance, information technology (IT) plus capital equipment and improvements.

Commissioner Barbara Marschall of Prior Lake said Scott County needs to invest in maintaining its infrastructure and capital assets to avoid paying more down the road.

(continued from page 1)

of property taxes is confusing.

The county contends the halfpercent increase in the 2013 gross property tax levy will result in a property tax hike, depending on valuations, for about one-fourth of the 36,000 houses in Scott County.

Three-fourths of the houses in the county will likely see a decrease, thanks in part to reduced valuations. “Every year, it’s more taxes, more taxes, more taxes. We should not be approving any kind of increase,� Menden said. “I’d like to see a decrease.�

If the final 2013 levy hike is proposed in December, following the Truth-in-Taxation hearing Dec. 6, the typical house will see an increase of $39 in the county portion of its 2013 taxes.

Wagner also noted the impact the levy will have on agricultural property. Valuations on farmland have been on the rise the past few

(continued from page 15) defense), so we still have a lot of learning and coaching to do.

The best part is the effort that the defense gave all night in the hot conditions,� Johnston said.

Dauwalter had a team-high 10 tackles to go along with his two fumble recoveries. Bahr had six tackles to go along with his two interceptions. Ben Stier had nine tackles and two forced fumbles.

Other statistics, including team totals, were not available

by Tuesday’s press time.

Next up for the Tigers is a bout with Tri-City United 7 p.m. this Friday at the Belle Plaine Athletic Complex. The Titans will be making their Minnesota River Conference debut. TriCity United is a cooperative of Montgomery-Lonsdale and Le Center high schools.

The Titans, with a roster of more than 100 players, got their merger off to a successful start as they rallied from a 20-0 halftime deficit to defeat perennial power Waterville-Elysian-Morristown 21-20 in last week’s season opener.

In other season openers involving MRC teams, Watertown-Mayer ripped Rockford 52-20, Sibley East bested Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop 34-8, Mayer Lutheran blasted Eden Valley-Watkins 49-14, St. Peter hammered Le Sueur-Henderson 34-7, St. Paul Highland Park clubbed Jordan 41-10 and Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted downed Norwood Young America 19-12.

Sibley East 4, Tigers 3 In a match that was postponed from Thursday afternoon to Friday morning due to heat, it was the Wolverines who prevailed by a 4-3 count.

All three of the Tigers’ wins came in doubles. Included were Stolee and Schneider (6-4, 6-1), Read and Brazil (6-3, 7-5) and Gavin and Abby Brandt (7-6, 7-5).

Lambrecht had the most competitive singles match for Belle Plaine. She lost in a tiebreaker in the first set and then went down 2-6 in the second. “We played tough but things didn’t go our way. We are looking forward to reversing that score when we travel to Arlington in a couple of weeks,�

Check Us Out!!!!

By Dr. Kelly Smith

As I write this column, the first day of school is right around the corner. The weather forecast looks great – sunshine and warm temperatures, our facilities are polished, and our staff are prepared for another great school year. Nothing is quite like the first day of school as new Kindergarten students arrive with a multitude of emotions from excitement to trepidation and returning students arrive to greet good friends, classmates and teachers. Let’s have another great school year everyone!

Last week we had great turnouts once again for our Back to School Open House events at Chatfield and Oak Crest Elementary Schools. It was great to see all of the students getting introduced to their teachers for the year and getting their school supplies organized and ready for the first day of school.

At the Junior High, we had a great turnout for orientation as well. The evening began with a presentation by motivational speaker VJ Smith who talked to students and parents about the value and importance of gratitude and saying “thank you�.

Along with the excitement of returning to school comes the reality that all students need to have the proper vaccinations prior to entering school. In addition to the normal required vaccinations, several other warnings have come out from the medical community regarding meningitis and pertussis (whooping cough).

The School Nurse Organization of Minnesota is urging students to add meningitis vaccinations to their back-to-school check list. Public health officials recommend an initial shot at ages 11 to 12, with a booster dose by age 18. The nurses' group says 40 percent of teens in Minnesota haven't been properly vaccinated and are at risk.

The nurses say that while the start of the school year is a busy time for students and their parents, it's also prime time for spreading infections, which can be passed on by common activities in school, such as sharing a water bottle.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says while bacterial meningitis is spread through respiratory means, viral meningitis can be spread by improper hand washing after using the bathroom or changing a diaper.

Pertussis often begins with symptoms similar to the common cold: runny nose, sneezing, mild cough and possibly fever. A persistent cough may start about 1-2 weeks later. Coughing can occur in bursts and may end with high-pitched whooping sound and sometimes vomiting or gagging. Coughing can be worse at night. Between coughing fits, the person may appear “well.�

Cough can last up to 100 days. If you have been coughing for more than 7 days, please contact your health care provider.

Whooping Cough booster (Tdap vaccine) can be given to those 10 years of age and older in epidemic areas.

Because of the highly contagious nature of the illness, the Minnesota Department of Health recommends that children/ staff not return to school/activities until there is a negative test result or the child/staff has completed at least 5 days of an appropriate antibiotic.

If you have questions about vaccinations that are required for your child or about some of the current health concerns discussed above, please feel free to contact our school nurse, Rachelle Kerkow, at 873-2402.

As always, if you have any questions about school matters, please feel free to call me at 873-2400 or check our website at www.belleplaine.k12.mn.us. Go Tigers!

Volleyball (continued from page 15)

Last Tuesday’s match did not count in the MRC standings.

Belle Plaine was scheduled to host Mankato East in a nonconference match Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press (see www. belleplaineherald.com or the Herald’s Facebook page for result).

Norwood Young America will visit Belle Plaine for the MRC opener 7:15 p.m. this Thursday.

The Tigers will then venture to the home of the No. 1-ranked team in Class 2A, Marshall, for a tournament this Friday and Saturday. The Tigers will travel to conference rival Jordan next Tuesday night.

Green Isle Turns to Familiar Face to Fill City Council Seat

Farm Family of the Year The Minnesota Farmers Union recently announced that Casey Acres, Inc. of Prior Lake is the Farm Family of the Year for Scott County. Generations five and six are currently working on the farm, and the Casey family milks 100 Holsteins and grows approximately 1,600 acres of corn, soybeans and alfalfa. Casey Acres was established in 1855. Rob and Pat are the fifth generation on the farm, and Pat’s son, Calvin, is the sixth. On the farm, Helen handles the bookkeeping and Rob and Pat work with the cows and fieldwork. Calvin is a fulltime employee on the farm. Colin, Kayln and Kylee help with feeding calves and milking. Rob, and Pat’s nephew, Jake, also help with daily chores and field work when he is not in school at Prior Lake High School. The University of Minnesota Extension Farm Family Recognition Program has existed for over two decades and honors farm families from throughout Minnesota for their contributions to the agriculture industry and their local communities. All of the honored farm families have made significant contributions to Minnesota agriculture and their communities. Pictured above with Mr. Casey is Minnesota Farmers Union Vice President Gary Wertish.

As it prepares to approve its budget and property tax levy for 2013, the Green Isle City Council turned to an experienced resident for help. The council unanimously approved the appointment of John Schauer at its Aug. 28 meeting.

Schauer was appointed to fill the seat Councilor Shane Sheets position resigned from recently to spend more time with his son. Citing work commitments, Councilor Steve Wilson has been a no-show at several recent meetings.

As Green Isle’s mayor, Randal Bruegger has the authority to appointment someone to fill Sheets’ seat until Jan. 1, 2013.

Bruegger selected Schauer because of his experience as a multi-term city councilor during the 1990s and also his commitment to serving Green Isle residents. A member of the city’s fire department, Schauer said he was happy to help the city out in a time of need.

Schauer is not one of the candidates for the city council.

Regardless of how many meetings he attends, Schauer will be paid a pro-rated share of a councilor’s $1,460. Councilors are also paid $30 each for attending council-approved committee additional meetings.

But even though he is temporarily filling a council seat in a time of need, state statute on incompatible offices likely prevents Schauer from working for the city as a fill-in for its part-time public works staffer, logging a handful of paid hours annually.

Court-Ordered Demolition

Sibley County District Court has ordered the Eustis Building at 130 Grove Street S. be razed

by Sept. 20.

For several years, the city has sought to have the building adjacent to Green Isle City Hall razed. The city contends

Home Building & Remodeling

Gary Crosby Construction LLC

the building, which has gaping holes in a roof and has been deemed unsafe for occupancy, is a safety hazard. The city will assess the cost of the demolition onto the building’s property taxes.

The building has also been on and off the county’s list of properties facing forfeiture for non-payment of property taxes.

A series of delays by the building’s owners – Lee A. Eustis and Michele Volkenant – has delayed what now appears to be an unavoidable date with the wrecking ball.

increase, only decreased once enacted.

If it can agree to a meeting time with its contract finance person, Kristi Brutlag of AEM Financial, the council is aiming to meet in a budget workshop Sept. 11, 6 p.m.

The council is considering a proposed 2013 operating budget of $473,079 – a 2.38 percent increase over 2012. It is considering a 3 percent property tax levy increase for 2013 – from $502,327 to $517,400.

The impact the increase would have on the city’s share of the typical house in Green Isle, if ultimately approved before Dec. 31, 2012, will in part depend on the change in valuation and any action by state lawmakers.

The biggest possible increase is in the budget is for streets.

The city is considering increasing spending on streets by 10.32 percent, from $138,529 to $152,832. Other spending increases are for sheriff’s patrol, from $42,500 to $45,000; clerk from $15,340 to $17,898; and financial administration, from $31,500 to $35,000.

Proposed spending cuts include cutting general government (from $132,750 to $119,800; eliminating spending $2,000 on temporary employees for elections; and eliminating $3,460 from city contingency funds.

Tigers Turnover Eagles

Belle Plaine’s Kirsten Johnson (No. 13) had a team-high 16 kills in last Tuesday night’s seasonopening victory at Le Sueur.

H.S. Volleyball

Tigers Hold Off Giants

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School volleyball team got a giant win in its season-opening match at Le Sueur-Henderson last Tuesday night, winning in four games (25-19, 25-19, 18-25, 25-22) against the state’s No. 3-ranked team in Class 2A on its own floor. The Tigers came in ranked No. 8 in the State Coaches Association Poll.

“It was the perfect start to this season,” said Belle Plaine coach Cassie Wolpern. “The girls came in with a great mental focus, knowing they’d need to play well to defeat this conference favorite. I was especial-

ly pleased with our consistency and simplicity – two key factors in any first game of the season.

“Our balanced attack was a preview of our greatest strength this year,” Wolpern continued.

“We had three players making their debut as starters in a varsity match and you would have never even known watching them as they blended right in with our veterans. This was a good level for us to begin the year at and this is now the bar we’ve set to improve from.”

Leading the Tigers’ balanced attack were seniors Kirsten Johnson, Haley Fogarty and Jordan Going, who clubbed 16,

12 and 10 kills, respectively.

Also joining in the hit parade were eighth-grader Mariena Hayden (8), junior Marykay Nasby (7) and junior Amara Meyer (2).

Hayden led the team in service aces with four and senior Claire Otto had 15 digs. Johnson had 30 assists and junior Devin Lehman added 20. Going was tops in solo blocks with two.

Jessica Thelemann had 21 kills and three blocks for the Giants, followed by Gabby Thomas with 10.

Volleyball

(continued on page 7)

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School football team opened the 2012 season with a 34-18 triumph over New Ulm Thursday night at the Belle Plaine Athletic Complex.

The game, which did not end until shortly before 11 p.m. (kickoff was pushed back an hour due to the heat), featured an offensive show by both teams. But it was the Tigers who were the beneficiaries of several turnovers that helped keep the Eagles at bay. Included were two interceptions by Zach Bahr and two fumble recoveries by Gavin Dauwalter.

New Ulm scored first when quarterback Chris Mulder threw a touchdown pass to Isaiah Johnson with 6:04 left in the first quarter.

The Eagles’ lead was shortlived, however, as Nick Eliason returned the ensuing kickoff to midfield, which helped set up a 26-yard TD gallop by Zack Juaire with 5:26 left in the first quarter. Like the Eagles, the Tigers’ conversion attempt failed, keeping the score 6-6.

That’s where it would stay until late in the second quarter when Belle Plaine receiver Luke Narveson made a leaping catch in the end zone. The twopoint conversion was good and the Tigers took a 14-6 lead into halftime.

New Ulm decided to begin the second half with an onside kick and it worked as the Eagles gained possession at the Belle Plaine 48. A few minutes later, Mulder hooked up with Sam Miller on a 27-yard scoring play. Again, New Ulm’s two-point conversion failed and Belle Plaine still led 14-12 with 9:17 left in the third quarter.

A couple of possessions later, Dauwalter’s first fumble recovery ended a New Ulm scoring threat. On the ensuing drive, the Tigers marched 69 yards, culminating with a touchdown pass from Howie to Narveson with 1:13 left in the third quarter. The two-point conversion attempted was no good, keeping the score 20-12.

Belle Plaine would make it a 14-point margin a few minutes later as Dauwalter scooped up his second fumble and this time raced down field with the ball

Belle Plaine freshman Luke Narveson (No. 12) was the Tigers’ go-to guy against New Ulm Thursday night. He caught five passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns. all the way to the New Ulm 27 yard line. Juaire scored shortly thereafter on a short run to the end zone to make it 26-12 with 10:13 left in the game.

The Eagles didn’t quit as Mulder drove them 70 yards on their next possession, which ended with a 22-yard scoring strike from Mulder to Johnson.

Again, the two-point try was no good and it was 26-18 with 8:05 left to play.

New Ulm tried another onside kick and this time the ball did not go 10 yards. Later in the quarter, still down by eight, the Eagles were stopped on downs at their own 19 yard line, a gamble that would prove costly as Belle Plaine running back Jordan Johnson burst into the end zone a short time later. Howie’s two-point pass to Mitchell Nelson made it 34-18 with 4:17 remaining in the game.

Bahr’s second interception on New Ulm’s next possession ended what little hope the Eagles had left.

Howie finished the game 9-

of-26 passing for 220 yards and two TDs. Narveson had five receptions for 117 yards, followed by Eliason with two grabs for 69 yards.

In the rushing department, Juaire had 12 carries for 69 yards and two TDs. Johnson rushed 11 times for 50 yards and one TD. “Offensively, we hit some big plays and made them when we needed to,” said Tigers coach Justin Johnston. “Our running game is coming along as it showed consistency in parts of the game.”

Defensively, the Tigers allowed New Ulm to put up some sizeable numbers. Mulder was 14-of-30 throwing, good for 229 yards and three TDs. Fullback Jackson Yackley had 27 carries for 106 yards.

“Defensively, we are young and it showed at times. We only started three seniors (on

The Tigers’ Nick Eliason (No. 2) caught two passes for 69 yards in Thursday’s 34-18 win against New Ulm in Belle Plaine.

The Tigers’ Jordan Going, left, and Haley Fogarty made their presence felt at the net offensively and defensively last Tuesday night at Le Sueur. Going had 10 kills and two solo blocks and Fogarty had 12 kills.

H.S. Tennis

Tigers Split First MRC Matches The Belle Plaine High School tennis team battled through a hectic second week of the season and came out of it with a 1-2 record, which included winning its opening Minnesota River Conference match against Le Sueur-Henderson before bowing in the second one to Sibley East. Both those matches were at home. The other loss came Monday (Aug. 27) at Blue Earth Area.

The Tigers, 3-4 overall, were scheduled to host Tri-City United in a another MRC match Tuesday after this edition of the Herald went to press. They will head to St. James for some nonconference action this Saturday before heading to New Prague

next Monday. Defending MRC champion Jordan will be in town for a key contest next Tuesday.

Blue Earth Area 6, Tigers 1 The Tigers made the long bus ride to Blue Earth Area on Monday and had a long afternoon on the courts as well as they were pounded by the Bucs 6-1.

Ashley Morrison (No. 1 singles) accounted for Belle Plaine’s only win as she defeated Karleigh Wolff 6-4, 6-4. The Tigers’ other singles players – Lindsay Vennie, Kate Savage and Ireland Lambrecht – each loss in straight sets.

All three doubles matches went three sets but the Tigers

came up on the short end in each won. Included were the No. 1 team of Allison Stolee and Jane Schneider (5-7, 6-1, 4-6), the No. 2 duo of Sophie Brazil and Jamie Read (6-3, 3-6, 4-6) and the No. 3 pair of Meghan Gavin and Kaisa Hallgren (3-6, 6-3, 0-6).

Tigers 5, LS-H 2 The Tigers bounced back from the loss at Blue Earth Area one day later by upending MRC rival Le Sueur-Henderson 5-2 at the Belle Plaine Athletic Complex.

Belle Plaine Off to Fast Start Sophomore Janessa Meuleners won her third consecutive Mankato East Invitational title as she led the Belle Plaine High School girls’ cross country team to first place at last Tuesday’s season-opening meet.

The Tigers, who were also sparked by sophomore Emilyn Siemon’s second-place finish, had 25 team points, well ahead of second-place Minnesota Valley Lutheran (55) and host Mankato East (55).

Meuleners was all by herself during most of the race as she covered the 4,000-meter course in a time of 15:40. Siemon followed in 17:06.

The Tigers’ other top finishers were senior Kiley Hallgren (third in 17:39), freshman Alissa Schultz (eighth in 18:06) and eighth-grader Haley Leger

(ninth in 18:06).

Boys’ Results The Belle Plaine boys finished second in their three-team field at Mankato East last Tuesday.

The host Cougars took first place with a team tally of 25, followed by the Tigers with 46.

Minnesota Valley Lutheran was a distant third with 101.

The individual medalist was East’s Bradley Kunz, who finished the 5,000-meter course in a time of 17:17, well ahead of Belle Plaine junior Zander Stier, who was second in 18:35.

Rounding out the top five runners for the Tigers were junior Kris Corl (fifth in 19:08), freshman Ryan Bremseth-Vining (12th in 20:01), sophomore Carter Olson (13th in 20:03) and sophomore Tony Dvorak

Moseying on Up to the Dairy Queen The Belle Plaine Dairy Queen doesn’t have oats on the menu but that didn’t stop six horses and riders from moseying up to the drive-through window and ordering lunch on Monday.

DQ Manager Sara Whitaker said it was a first for her at the Belle Plaine DQ and she’s been there for 10 years. Their customers were six women who keep horses at Executive Air Stables in Andover. They decided to go on a Labor Day trail ride in an area they hadn’t traveled before. They trailered their horses to the Scott County Fairgrounds and road them along the park trail system to Belle Plaine. One of the riders said her GPS informed her there was a Dairy Queen up the road in Belle Plaine. The riders were Tara Saunders of Andover, Lori Aus of Andover, Keeley Citrowske of Andover, Sara Killiron of Shoreview, Geri Cheney of Cambridge and Kathy Boots of Minneapolis.

Lunch

(continued from page 1) Donovan said the calorie caps could leave active students and athletes feeling hungry by the end of the day.

The new program is intended to make sure students are being served a healthier menu. The district is also waiting to see how much the program costs.

School Board directors were recently briefed on the program.

They are concerned that while compliance with the meal program will generate an additional 6 cents per meal in subsidy from the state, the extra revenue will be eaten up by the higher cost of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Last year, the district served 183,642 lunch meals during the 2011-12 school year. The additional 6 cents means an additional $11,018 for the district.

Taher has warned the district to expect a 5-10 percent increase in food costs this year, Chuck Keller, the district’s finance director, is expecting the program is likely a break-even deal.

Board members also noted the program will likely result in higher food waste hauling costs for disposing of healthier food students won’t eat.

“We’ll be monitoring that,” Superintendent Kelly Smith said.

Keller said the district needs to go through a year of the new program to determine if it is worthwhile and consider its financial impact. The costs associated with the addition of daily fresh fruits and vegetables could push the district to increase school lunch prices for the 2013-14 school year, Keller said.

Belle Plaine is below the average costs area schools charge for school-prepared lunches.

It charges junior-senior high school students $1.95 for lunch, elementary school students $1.80.

While some school districts in other states have considered withdrawing from the USDA school lunch program, Keller doesn’t see that happening because about 23 percent of the district’s 1,600-plus students receive free or reduced meals.

Koepps

(continued from page 1) concern to the county planning commission the new barn will worsen the smell in the area.

They pointed the fans away from the neighbor’s house, hoping to ease her concerns.

“We could have pointed them any direction we wanted,” he said. “The nearest neighbor is 1,700 feet away.”

The Scott County Planning Commission and county board OK’d Koepp’s request for approval to expand his operation, citing Blakeley Township’s agricultural heritage and its desire to remain deeply rooted in ag. “It’s like they said, if you can’t farm in Blakeley Township, where can you farm,” said Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township.

Koepp’s new barn has enough capacity for a year’s worth of liquid manure. It will be handled in strict compliance with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) guidelines, he said.

Mark Koepp recalls starting with two pigs of his own in 1976. Today, he, Bruce and their five employees will see about 28,000 pigs pass through.

They stress the animals are treated humanly, that only a very small number perished from the summer’s stretches of oppressive heat.

“This isn’t a factory farm,” he said. “It’s a family farm.”
