Take Me Out to the Wedding Baseball Enthusiasts Tim Huber and Paula Hartman to Tie Knot at Tiger Park by Dan Ruud Tim Huber has frequented Tiger Park over the years, both as a youth and an adult. During his years at Belle Plaine High School, he played countless baseball and football games at the facility, as well as many games as a teen and adult as a member of the Belle Plaine town baseball team. He also conducts his annual youth baseball camps at Tiger Park. This Saturday, Huber, 35,

plans to add another chapter to his Tiger Park memoirs – his wedding. Huber, who is head coach of the baseball team at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D., is marrying Paula Hartman of Jordan, who taught a number of years at St. John the Baptist Catholic School there, where she is also a 1989 alumni. She graduated from Jordan High School in 1995. In a recent St. John the Bap-

tist newsletter, it states that one of Hartman’s favorite things to do is “hang out with friends at a baseball game – either town ball, college or professional.” “Actually, one of Ms. Hartman’s personal goals is to travel to all the professional baseball stadiums. This is a good goal to have as she recently got engaged to Tim Huber, who is the head baseball coach for Augustana College,” continued the article. Huber and Hartman have been friends since they were teenagers. They are both graduates of Minnesota State UniversityMankato. Huber received his degree in sports management with a coaching minor. Hartman earned degrees in family life, child development and early childhood. Why tie the knot at Tiger Park? “The short story is that we were not allowed to get married in a Catholic church, so this was always Paula’s second option,” Huber said. “She really wanted to get married at her church (St. Johns in Jordan), but because the Catholic Church denied my request for an annulment, that wasn’t an option.” Huber and Hartman have been engaged for about 18 months. The soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Huber are pictured sharing a Huber has lived in Sioux Falls romantic moment at the ballpark. since becoming head baseball coach at Augustana, where he is beginning his ﬁfth year and has a coaching record of 12390, a signiﬁcant improvement from where the program was before he got there. Prior to Augustana, Huber was head coach at Dakota Technical College for four years. His overall college

Short Council Meeting Ends With Big Announcement City to Receive $150,000 Grant from Mdewakanton The Belle Plaine City Council addressed one of its shortest agendas of the year Monday night, resulting in a meeting that lasted 11 minutes. It would have been even shorter had it not been for an announcement by Mayor Tim Lies at the end of the agenda – that the city will receive a $150,000 grant from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC).

In a press release sent earlier in the day on Monday, the SMSC announced that it will provide $900,000 in grants to neighboring governments. The Tribe will provide $150,000 each to Scott County and the cities of Belle Plaine, Jordan, Prior Lake, Savage and Shakopee. Speciﬁcally, the grants are for the beneﬁt of local residents as determined by each governmental unit. During Monday’s meeting, Lies read a letter he received from Tribal Chair Charlie Vig. “I am pleased to inform you

that the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) is offering the city of Belle Plaine an intergovernmental grant in the amount of $150,000 to be used for capital projects for the beneﬁt of city residents as determined by the city. The SMSC Business Council requests that the city provide the Community a list of proposed projects prior to the funds being released. We would like to know how the grant funds ultimately are used.” The letter then went on to explain that the SMSC “has a long

history of working cooperatively with local units of government in a variety of ways, and our Dakota culture includes a strong tradition of sharing. We offer this grant as a way to continue our good faith effort to work with you on a government-to-government basis and to build and strengthen our relationship based on mutual respect.” The council agreed that it will begin discussing possible projects that the grant could be used

For Brueggemeier, Marathon is Again About Life Her Way

Last year, Joan Brueggemeier made good on her entry to run the Twin Cities Marathon because she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about to let cancer take over her life. This year, the 48-year-old Belle Plaine woman is running because she can. Cancer, she said, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop her. The mother of two will be about 12,000 runners who start the 26.2-mile trek Sunday morning from the Metrodome to the Minnesota Capitol. A year ago, Brueggemeier was hoping the effects of chemotherapy treatments following a double-mastectomy and reconstructive surgery would allow her the strength to ďŹ nish. This year, she sounds more like a runner. Sunday will be her seventh marathon. Brueggemeier would love to beat last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time -- 4 hours, 28 minutes, 3 seconds -- and, just maybe, challenge her personal-best time for a marathon (3:45). Because she found the lump during a self-exam early in its development, Brueggemeierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctors told her she had an 89 percent chance of survival for ďŹ ve years. Surgery and chemo, they told her, increased the odds to 94 percent. Was the surgery and chemotherapy worth ďŹ ve percent? Brueggemeier wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about to do anything to reduce the odds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to live,â&#x20AC;? she said. Brueggemeier recalls telling her oncologist last year she planned to run the Twin Cities Marathon. She was in the middle of the three-treatment phase. She was still feeling good following the latest treatment and knew that in a few days after the race, the effects of the chemicals meant to kill the cancerous cells in her would leave her too weak, too nauseous to run. A daily runner, Brueggemeier had spent the spring and sum-

Minnesota’s One Noted Battle Field -- Historic Birch Coulie 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

What Hastened Enlistments Events more startling than defeats or victories on the Potomac or in the Western army, because nearer to the homes of the citizens of Minnesota, were then occurring which gave a sudden impulse to the filling up of the great call. The telegraphy wire, the governor’s mail, the daily newspaper and the swift courier carried the intelligence that an Indian uprising among the bloody Sioux upon the reservation had broken out. Frontier towns were besieged and in flames; their citizens fleeing for safety to the cities. All roads leading down the Minnesota river and through the Big Woods to St. Paul and Minneapolis were crowded with them. They told the most horrible tales of massacre, torture and arson. Smoking ruins of deserted homes, mangled bodies of friends and relatives, rich crops, half gathered and spoiling in the fields, marked the prairies, but a few days before populated by prosperous farmers and hopeful villagers on the frontier. Between Fort Ridgely and Forts Abercromby and Ripley, a distance of one hundred and fifty miles, was a stretch of unprotected territory upon which the Sioux descended, inspired by their hate of the white man, maddened by the withholding of their annuities, and driven to desperation by starvation, to wreck their vengeance and redress their wrongs upon the innocent white settlers, their women and children. At once the cry rang out all over the state for the immediate filling up and putting into the field of defense the regiments then forming. The three companies of the Fifth Minnesota Volunteers guarding the property of the United States at the forts and reservations could not cope alone with a foe so determined and so well equipped. On the 20th of August, 1862, and order was issued from the adjutant general’s headquarters of the state directing Co. H. H. Sibley to immediately take charge of an expedition of four companies of the Sixth for the relief of Fort Ridgely, the center of the more alarming attacks. Citizens unenlisted, who were willing to join the expedition, furnishing their own arms and horses, for the defense of the state, were urged to come forward and join Sibley’s command. There was but one resource to check the invasion of Indians, namely, the men who had been called from their harvest fields to enlist, and who had been furloughed until after harvest; who had been enlisted but not yet mustered; who had no experience in military life. Their furloughs were at once revoked, the broken regiments were massed together hurriedly, and officers appointed to command them. They responded promptly and cheerfully. The governor immediately issued orders commissioning Capt. A. D. Nelson as colonel of the Sixth Regiment, and he proceed as far as Bloomington Ferry. Capt. Nelson had been on duty in the regular army almost continuously since 1828. He graduated at West Point in 1841, and entered the service as a second lieutenant in the English Infantry. He had thus been in the service twenty-three years, fourteen years of the time having spent in Minnesota. He was a gentlemen of the highest military skill, and punctilious to the last degree regarding all matters of rank and military etiquette. To be assigned to duty under a civilian, as Sibley was, was not in accordance with the precedents nor the tenets of his military training. He was extremely restive under the circumstances and exigencies that for the time being assigned him to a subordinate place. He finally determined to resigned. General Orders, No. 42, from the adjutant general’s office of the state dates Aug. 1862, announced the full complement of officers of the Sixth Regiment as follows: Colonel, Wil-

Joseph Edward Townsend

Editor’s Note Most of the Dakota Indian conflict took place near the Minnesota River since this was the area that was homesteaded earliest and near where many of the Indians lived on the Lower Sioux Indian Agency. Birch Coulie is located at the north edge of Morton, Fort Ridgely is a few miles south of Fairfax. Both are between New Ulm and Red wood Falls. liam Crooks of Ramsey; lieutenant colonel, John T. Averill of Wabasha; major, Robert N. McLaren of Goodhue; surgeon, Dr. Alfred Wharton of Ramsey; first assistant surgeon, Dr. Jared W. Daniels of Nicollet; second assistant surgeon, Dr. O. O. Potter of Dodge; quartermaster, Lieut. Henry L. Carver of Ramsey; adjutant, Florentine E. Snow of Blue Earth. Subsequently the following were also announced: Chaplain, Richard B. Bull; quartermaster sergeant, H. H. Gilbert; commissary sergeant, Wm. S. McCauley; hospital steward, Frederick W. Norwood; chief musicians, Milton R. Seaman, Levi Longfellow; drum major, Ernest Wagner. Col. Crooks, in a personal interview, thus describes the situation when he was assigned to the command of the Sixth Regiment: “The St. Paul & Pacific Railroad Co. had just completed the first ten miles of road to Minneapolis, from St. Paul to St. Anthony. I was the superintendent of that road, and had just commenced operating it. On the 19th of August, 1862, Gov. Ramsey came to my office and told me he had very bad news from the frontier - news of a terrible massacre of the people and destruction of their property by Indians. He hoped these reports were exaggerated, but from the confirmatory circumstances he feared the matter was of the gravest character. Citizens were flocking to the cities; many had come to Fort Snelling with their arms and horses, volunteering for the occasion. The governor wanted some one to go to the Fort Snelling at once to organize these volunteers in some shape so as to make them effective, and after canvassing all the reasons which I gave him to relive me, he appealed to me to go, and I consented. He asked me, ‘How soon?’ ‘In two hours,’ I replied, ‘I would report to him at the capitol,’ which I did. The Seventh Regiment was then organizing. There were no supplies, but I was directed to get them in the country, and I was given authority to act for the state in the emergency. The governor tendered me the lieutenant colonelcy of the Seventh Regiment, which I accepted. The governor gave me my commission and orders to assume command of the citizens at Fort Snelling. He also ordered me to join Col. A. D. Nelson, who had been appointed colonel of the Sixth Regiment, and had already started up the Minnesota river with that regiment for the scene of Indian disturbances. I started in the evening and reached Bloomington Ferry, where Nelson was, that night. “I gave him the letter Gov. Ramsey had placed in my hands, which he read, saying but little. The next morning we were out at daybreak. I started to go with my command, saying to Nelson, ‘I will go right

on, and get through as fast as I can.’ He asked me if I was a commissioned officer of the state, and I produced the commission given me by Gov. Ramsey. Nelson then stated to me that he was directed to act under the orders of Mr. Sibley, a civilian. He did not want to report to a civilian as he was a regular army officer. The situation, as related to the Indians, and the immediate necessity of relief for the settlers, was so urgent, however, that he was in doubt as to the course he should pursue. It was believed that the Indians were incited to violence by rebel emissaries. He (Nelson) had been commissioned colonel of the Sixth Regiment by the governor, but not yet by the president. He knew the rules of the regular army respecting precedence, and was careful in observing them. He foresaw that complications might arise in respect to his orders and reports which might involve criticism and conflict of orders. “So he proposed that I, being a lieutenant colonel, with the commission of the governor as such, should take command of the Sixth Regiment and he would return to St. Paul and resign his commission. I remonstrated against this arrangement, urging him to go forward, assist in quelling the Indian uprising and settle the etiquette afterward. But he would not yield. He was a brave man, a thorough solider, and his premonitions of a long campaign were justified by subsequent events. I acquiesced, and requested that he would give me the necessary authority in writing. He then, using a fence post for a writing desk, penciled the following: “I hereby turn over the volunteers of the Sixth Regiment to Lieutenant Colonel William Crooks of the Seventh Regiment.” “We parted on the best of terms he going back to St. Paul, and we went on to Shakopee. The next morning, as we were breaking camp at Sandy Creek, Edmund Rise, who had driven through from St. Paul the previous night, brought me a commission from the governor as colonel of the Sixth Regiment and that is how I happened to be connected with it. I made a hasty inspection of the men and their equipment, found them insufficiently supplied with old-fashioned Belgian rifles, procured from the state arsenal, and with no proper ammunition. The men were set to work swedging the bullets to fit the rifles, and to supplement what was in the cartridge, powder was obtained in very limited quantities from the stores at Shakopee and other villages along the route. Lieut... Col. Averill of my regiment was sent across the Minnesota river at Henderson with four companies, while I, with the remainder of the regiment, pushed up the west side to join him at St. Peter.” The Indian Campaign of 1862 Who shall describe the horrors and distresses witnessed in that march up the Minnesota? The roads were literally lined with fugitive settlers, with their families, cattle and household effects, terror-stricken and almost entirely unarmed. They told the most thrilling stories of escape, of atrocity, barbarism and murder, and they hailed the advance of the soldiers as an interposition of Providence against imaginary thousands of redskins who were supposed to be following them only a few miles behind. The regiments, by various routes by land and water, concentrated at St. Peter on the 24th of August, 1862. Col. Sibley was already there, organizing forces for an advance movement. They remained at St. Peter four days, among the most intense excitement, making preparations. Sibley was determined not to move against organized bands of Indians until he was absolutely certain that he could successfully cope with them. Beleaguered Fort Ridgely, but forty miles distant, had but a handful of men for its protection, and its outbuildings had already been burned. A detail of 46 men from that fort, under command of Capt. John S. Marsh of Company B. Fifth Regiment, had been ambuscaded at the Lower Sioux Agency, twelve miles from the fort, and all but thirteen including the gallant captain himself had been killed. The air was

Birch Coulie Monuments

One monument honors the soliders who died in the battle, the other honors six Sioux who saved the lives of whites during the uprising. full of details of the burning of New Ulm, the attacks at Action, Forest City, Abercrombie and many other points on the frontier and encircling the state. The people and newspapers everywhere were clamoring for revenge, and, in the midst of it all, Sibley hesitated. He was in communication with the Indian camps and in full possession, through his guides and interpreters, of their strengths and purposes. They had many white captives. The four days’ delay at St. Peter undoubtedly saved the expedition from annihilation at the outset. His judgement was right. The time was well spent in accumulating munitions and supplies, and in drilling the raw recruits in their new duties, qualifying them for good service, and acquainting them with their officers and the dangers which confronted them. As soon as sufficient supplies and ammunition arrived at St. Peter, on the 28th of August, the column proceeded to Fort Ridgely, then in a state of siege and occupied by a small garrison under the command of Lieut. T. J. Sheehan of the Fifth Minnesota Regiments, seconded by Ordinance Sergeant John Jones of the regular army, who had some field pieces and fixed ammunition in his charge. The garrison had been attacked and the 20th and 22nd, the enemy repulsed. In these engagements there were three men killed and thirteen wounded, the loss of the Indians being several times greater. As the column proceeded there was plenty of evidence to substantiate the fears of the refugees. Smoking ruins of farm houses but recently burned met us everywhere. On the prairies, in the dooryards of the farm houses, were many mutilated bodies of men, women and children, who had been intercepted and slaughtered in their flight or in their beds. The characteristics of Indian massacre need not be retold. The anxiety and determination of the volunteers to reach the Indians and revenge the outrages was at fever heat. In one sense it was ludicrous to contemplate the advance of columns of men, scarcely armed at all, marching with all possible speed to overtake and punish these wellarmed well-mounted Indian rascals, as they kept sometimes within sight, and then against at least 25 miles ahead of them in their work of murder and rapine whenever they found a luckless settler alone or a house still standing. Fight and Rescue at Birch Coulie On the 31st of August, Col. Sibley detailed Company A of the Sixth Regiment, under command of Capt. H. P. Grant, and two volunteers from each of the other companies of the Sixth, to form a burial party, with instructions to properly inter all bodies found, and, if possible, ascertain the facts connected with the loss of Capt. Marsh and his men. The little command, including a small detachment of citizen cavalry, under Capt. Joe Anderson, acting as scouts, numbered 153 men, infantry, cavalry and teamsters, and 96 horses, including 20 taken along to carry camp equipage, rations, etc. Major Jos. R. Brown, and experience Indian trader, was along. The first day out they

buried 50 settlers, and at night went into camp in the river bottom near Redwood Crossing. The night was dark and dismal, and particularly sad to those who had been gathering up the dead all day long. This, together with the impression that a lurking foe was near, made the boys feel rather uncomfortable. The night passed after a vigilant watch, and no harm came. Early the next morning the bodies of Capt. Marsh and his command were found in the thicket on the river bank, where they had been shot down. They had evidently been hemmed in and fired upon from all sides. Nearly all had been scalped and their guns and ammunition secured by the Indians. After the last service of the dead, the command took up the line of march from the bottom lands to the prairies above. While passing over the bluff a large body of Indians, on their way to capture St. Peter and Mankato, saw the soldiers and kept them in view almost all day, our men being ignorant of their presence. The scouts crossed they river, making a detour top the south, and so missed meeting the enemy. The command went into camp the second night near Birch Coulie, about 15 miles from Fort Ridgely. Birch Coulie is a deep gorge, running north and south, in Renville county. From information gathered by the scouts, no anxiety was felt. Major Brown told the boys to “Go to sleep, as there was no more danger than in their mother’s houses.” At that very moment there were 500 warriors watching the camp. The night was warm, the sky clear, the stars shining brightly, with a full moon. The guard was cautioned to be on the alert for strange sounds; the pickets were placed; tattoo, taps and all was silent. Slumber came to the weary soldiers. Soon they slept, little dreaming that the lurking enemy was so near. The awakening to some was in eternity. About four o’clock in the morning, soon after the guard was placed, one of them though he saw something moving in the grass. It proved to be an Indian, as they were slowly moving in upon the camp, their intentions being to shoot the pickets with arrows, and, as noiselessly as possible rush in and destroy the command. The sentinel fired at the moving object, and instantly the camp was encircled by fire and smoke from the guns of 500 Indians, who had hemmed them in. The fire was returned by the pickets as they returned to the camp, and although there necessarily was confusion there was no panic. The captain’s command, “Fall down,” was mistaken for “Fall in!” which makes a vast difference under such circumstances. The wagons were formed in a circle about the tents, and this afforded some little shelter. Amid the great confusion it is a wonder every man was not destroyed. But there were cool heads and none were cooler than old Joe Brown, Harry Gillman, Dr. Jared W. Daniels and Capt. H. P. Grant, who was in immediate command. The camp was badly located for defense, being commanded by the deep ravine on one side and by a mound on the other, so that the Indians were well sheltered from our fire. But this spot was chosen because

it was near wood and water, and the Indians were supposed to be 50 miles away. It was a mistake which was discovered after it was too late. A brisk fire was opened by the boys, and soon the cartridge boxes were being depleted. Ammunition was called for, and upon opening a box it was found to be too large a caliber. Other boxes were opened with a like result. In loading the ammunition a mistake had been made, and the men found themselves in an unfortunate dilemma; but no time was to be lost, as there was not more than an average of twenty rounds to the man, and a horde of Indians about who seemed well supplied with powder and ball. At 10 o’clock A.M., the firing of the Indians almost ceased. But the men in camp were very short of ammunition, their rations were gone, and the only supply of water was in the creek at the bottom of the ravine which was alive with Indians, securely under cover, and well armed. But for their natural cowardice in making attacks, they would have charged and massacred every man of the command. That memorable day of suffering and anxiety passed without the arrival of expected relief. At an early hour in the morning the guard on picket duty at Fort Ridgely distinctly heard the volleys fired at the camp in Birch Coulie. A detachment of 240 men with two-six pound guns was immediately organized under the command of Col. Mc Phaill, and dispatched to the relief of the troops at Birch Coulie. When they had advanced to within three miles of Birch Coulie a large force of Indians attacked them. The fire was returned promptly, and with artillery. The beleaguered camp heard this firing with the liveliest anticipation of speedy relief, but it was not to be so soon realized. Col. McPhaill did not deem it safe to advance against the Indians, who outnumbered him so heavily, without additional help. Lieut. T. J. Sheehan was dispatched to headquarters at Fort Ridgely and upon his arrival the whole expeditionary force was put on the march by Col. Sibley. This was a perilous ride for Sheehan, for although unscathed himself, his horse was mortally wounded. The Indians continued their attacks on Birch Coulie, but without serious results. At daylight on the morning of the 3rd of September, Col. Sibley and his troops having overtaken McPhaill, they proceeded to Birch Coulie. As the column approached, the Indians were soon again discovered, their numbers increasing as the troops to retire. A large party of Indians remained constantly near the camp at Birch Coulie, and kept up the fire until the reinforcements were almost upon them. The meeting of the two forces was most affecting. It was the first view of bloodshed and suffering the men of the camp at Birch Coulie had seen and the first similar view of the rescuer’s party. It was war, in earnest, and bloody war at that. The loss of men in proportion to those engaged was very large. One official says, “Twenty-three were killed outright, or mortally wounded, and fortyfive were severely wounded. Thirteen were buried in the grounds where they fell.” After the rescue the whole force returned to Fort Ridgely.

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Authorities Search Voss Junk Yard for Stolen Cars An army of 30 law enforcement officers descended upon V & S Enterprises, better known as the Voss junk yard, in early October of 1982 to search for stolen cars. Scott County Sheriff Doug Tietz (foreground), along with Belle Plaine police officer Jim Johnson, Richard Bacon of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and Belle Plaine Police Chief Rod Peddycoart inspected a vehicle at the junk yard that had been listed as stolen. Tietz said that they had divided the officers into five search teams, each with a leader, and were systematically searching quadrants. Jerome Bahr, 19, was fatally injured in an early-morning accident that Saturday when his car left Oakcrest Trail just south of Belle Plaine and overturned in a field on the Wesley Oldenberg farm. There were no other passengers in the car. Bahr was pronounced dead at the scene when Scott County sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officers arrived about 7:45 a.m. The officers estimated that the accident happened much earlier (before sunrise). Bahr was the son of Larry and Barb Bahr and was a 1981 graduate of Belle Plaine High School. The Belle Plaine School District levy for 1983 was set at $1,110,414, up some $6,394 over 1982. The Scott County Board of Commissioners approved a $9.5 million for 1983, the same as the 1982 levy. A request for a conditional use permit and rezoning ordinance for the Northward Inn, owned by Urban Eischens, was denied by the Scott County Board of Commissioners. Both requests were previously denied by both the Blakeley Town Board and county planning commission. The Northward Inn had been closed for some time and a mortgage foreclosure was pending on the property. Someone had reportedly planned to purchase the property and reopen the restaurant. Due to the denial of the rezoning, the restaurant would not reopen. David Bechtold was named Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new community services director. The 37-yearold St. Cloud native was hired after the resignation of Eileen Brandt. The Belle Plaine Rotary Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Goodwill Drive would be held that coming Saturday morning at the parking lot across the street from the Gerdes Shoe Store. The Rotary was seeking donations of clothing, small appliances and furniture to be taken to the Goodwill Industries Center in St Paul. The Belle Plaine High School football team edged Arlington-

October 4th â&#x20AC;˘ 5-8pm â&#x20AC;˘ St. Peter

Green Isle 12-7 with two second-half touchdowns, including one with 12 seconds left in the game on a 20-yard pass play from Jeff Fogarty to Eric Johnson. In the third quarter, Tony Legg scored on an option pitch from 8 yards out. The victory improved the Tigers to 1-2 in the conference, 2-3 overall. The Tiger volleyball team had another disappointing week as it dropped to 0-7 in the conference following losses to Montgomery and Jordan.

60 Years Ago (1952)

Death came unexpectedly to one of our best-known citizens in the person of William A. Koepp. He died of a heart attack while asleep at the age of 76. A mystery comedy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Creeping Shadows,â&#x20AC;? was to be presented by the that yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior class. The Zion congregation, Benton, observed Mr. Eckhardtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20th anniversary as a called Christian day-school teacher. Gerald D. Lehman, for 20 years manager of Blakeley Cooperative Creamery, moved with his family to Kimball, Minn., where he had entered into partnership with a local man in ownership of the creamery and drying plant. Succeeding Lehman as manager at Blakeley was Kenneth Anderson. Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Gatz arrived home from their trip to Atlantic City, N.J., where they attended the convention of the National Bankers Association. The Rev. Edmund W. Tratebas was installed as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Belle Plaine by the Presbytery of St. Paul. A bag of first-class mail thrown off at the Belle Plaine station was drawn under the wheels of the train and cut into shreds. Patrick H. Donovan, 87, died at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, St. Paul, where he had been a patient for the past year. He was born in St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parish, Sibley County. The Tom Maloneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s household of Jessenland was deeply alarmed when their 2 1/2-year-

lumbus encampments. After spending the summer here with her sister, Mrs. Sophia Neubeiser, Mrs. E.K. Lynch returned to St. Paul. The high school athletic association organized for the year with Arthur Kulisheck as president. Over 100 friends attended a farewell party for Mr. and Mrs. Phil Duggan, who were leaving the farm in Faxon to live in St. Paul. The Commercial Club planned a competitive game hunt. F.J. Whitlock was captain of one squad, J.S. Effertz of the other. Points ranged from one for blackbirds to 50 for woodcock. At St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church, Le Center, took place the marriage of Miss Mabel Shea of that parish to Urban Hessian of Belle Plaine. Misses Agnes Shea and Marcella Hessian, Emmett Hessian and Richard Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell were the attendants. N.P. Lindberg, who was a cigar-maker in Belle Plaine around the turn of the century, was killed in an automobile accident near his home at Rugby, N.D. He won fame as the man who had originated the floristsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; slogan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Say It With Flowers.â&#x20AC;? Michael Moriarty, pioneer settler of Belle Plaine Township, died at his farm home at the age of 93. He traveled the seas as a boy but came to America when he was 19 years old, to Minnesota in 1855 and to the homestead near Belle Plaine in 1856.

zero? Courage and truth. It took these values for Maxine Kruschke to step forward in a time of opposition from several points. Maxine left an abusive marriage, started an organization in Scott and Carver counties at a time when there was not a service provider for victims in either county. After long days of working outside of her home, she opened her home to victims and worked tirelessly on their behalf. She was an ordinary woman with an extraordinary vision. During Domestic Violence Awareness month, we pay tribute to the courage of Maxine Kruschke. Her legacy has left an organization that is well equipped to serve victims of domestic violence. Our staff and trained volunteers step forward every day in courage in order to confront the ugly truth about domestic violence. We ask you, the reader, to do your part in combating this evil in our society. Be equipped with knowledge of the topic and courageously speak out against violence. It takes ordinary citizens like Maxine and you to bring forth the extraordinary vision of an end to domestic violence!

Dear Editor, October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and along with this awareness comes the thought of the many victims of abuse that are in our communities. The caring service provider for victims of domestic violence in Scott and Carver counties is Southern Valley Alliance for Battered Women. The Alliance has been assisting victims of abuse for 30 years. The Allianceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founder, Maxine Kruschke, a victim of violence herself, had the courage to leave an abusive marriage of 28 years. The first year the Alliance was in operation we served 5 victims. We are disheartened to say that we served 902 victims in 2011. As you can see, time has proven that the shattering issue of violence is still an evil that permeates our society. We have made some major strides in advocating and protecting victims of violence, but we corporately as a society should consider; do we have the courage to face the truth as to why domestic violence is still an issue in our society? The accomplishments in providing advocacy for victims of domestic violence in the last thirty years first began with a real awareness of the width, depth and impact of violence. It can be said that prior to this time, it was a topic that was hushed and kept secret behind closed doors. The awakening came within grassroots efforts in our society that was finally willing to look at its ills and confront them in the 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The Violence Against Women Act in 1994 provided protection for women along with the investigation and prosecution of violent crimes against women. Shelters for women and their children were built and conversations around the topic became more open. There was a forward movement in addressing domestic violence. Unfortunately, the statistics of assisting 902 victims gives voice to the work that is still an ill in our society. The truth is we have a long way to go in protecting victims of domestic violence. Do we have the courage to continue relentlessly addressing the cause of domestic violence until the Southern Valley Allianceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statistics become

An old landmark has left this community about three miles west of St. Thomas. The huge house was built by the Edw. Monahan family in 1888. The Monahan's raised seven children in this large home which was built on the curve of the hill on the north side. Timothy and Rosemary Odenthal Burns made it their home after their marriage August 18, 1951 and raised their family of nine children. The family is still an owner but the house has been removed because of its age. Many good days and family gatherings were held in its memory.

The next Mass scheduled by Father Roger Hessian at the St. Thomas Catholic Church will be at 5 p.m. on Oct. 27 and on Nov. 2. We really appreciate Father Roger caring to come to our precious church for services!

Congratulations to our Homecoming King and Queen who were crowned on Monday night â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Queen Jessica Buszmann and King Brandon Boateng. Congratulations to our entire royal court for representing Belle Plaine High School during this busy week. At our recent home volleyball match against Jordan, senior Haley Fogarty was recognized for achieving the milestones of 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs during her high school career. Haley currently ranks 6th in kills on the all time Belle Plaine records list and 2nd in digs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; trailing only sister Chelsea Fogarty in this category. Congratulations, Haley on these outstanding accomplishments and good luck to the volleyball team as they continue their very successful season.

coaching record is 221-161-1. Huber, a 1996 graduate of BPHS, had a pretty remarkable baseball playing career, both at BPHS and MSU. He won numerous individual honors and was a standout at both high school and college throughout his playing days. He has also played numerous seasons for the Belle Plaine town Tigers and has been selected to play in multiple all-star games. When asked what his favorite memories are of Tiger Park, Huber recalled one day as a freshman at BPHS when he went 7-of-8 at the plate, including a couple of home runs against Le Center. Another game he remembers caught the attention of MSU assistant coaches who were scouting a game his senior year. He hit a ball that one-hopped the fence at the 436 mark. “I have some good football memories of playing at Tiger Park, too – some big hits on opposing players and catching a halfback pass to win a playoff game in overtime against Watertown-Mayer my sophomore year,” Huber said. Huber’s other favorite Tiger Park memories were “anytime Jeff ‘Hot Dog’ Miller would get an extra-base hit. Seeing the competitive joy and excitement on Dog’s face was always great to see. That is what the game of baseball is all about,” Huber said. Could the wedding possibly top any of the above? “I think without a doubt this (wedding) will be my fondest memory of Tiger Park,” Huber said. Saturday’s exchange of vows will take place at the home plate area. Rev. Jeff Bruder, a former teammate of Huber’s on the Tiger town team, will officiate the ceremony. The best man is another former teammate of Huber’s, Shane Hofmann. The maid/matron of honors will be Christine Danielson and Brenda Otteson, the bride’s sisters. Huber said there will be a “very large” tent in right field for the reception and dance that will follow the 3 p.m. ceremony. Some 375 to 400 guests are expected to attend. Although it will have to wait a few months, the couple’s honeymoon will also have a strong baseball tie. “I’m taking my baseball team to Hawaii this February and Paula will be coming with. We plan to stay a few extra days after the team leaves,” Huber said.

Despite Concerns, Green Isle Supporting Fiber Optics Project While Sibley County is hesitant or possibly unable to issue $70 million in bonds for the fiber-to-home fiber optics line, Green Isle has said it remains committed to participation for its homes and businesses and its share of the funding as long as important issues are addressed. Last week, the Sibley County Board’s bond counsel from Dorsey & Whitney warned the commissioners counties don’t have the authority to sell bonds to help fund the construction of the fiber optic line. But this week, Mark Erickson, Winthrop’s city administrator and a member of the joint powers board overseeing the fiber project, said Dorsey & Whitney is being asked to explain its opinion since one of its biggest clients is CenturyLink, a communications company that would compete with the fiber line. “It sounds like it could be a huge conflict of interest. We’re asking them to explain,” Erickson said. “CenturyLink is in eight of our 11 communities.” Ross Arneson, Green Isle City Attorney, said Sibley County’s unexpected tabling of bonding for the project is a “minor bomb shell.” Arneson said the county participation in the bond sale “is crucial to this project. I don’t see it going forward without them.” Bob Kleiber, marketing and communications manager from Dorsey & Whitney confirmed the law firm represents CenturyLink. He denied a conflict of interest based on the Minnesota State Bar Association’s definition of an ethical conflict of interest. The Sibley and Renville county boards are meeting to address the issue Tuesday (Oct. 9, 1 p.m.) at the county courthouse in Gaylord to address the issue. Green Isle remains supportive of the project. At its Sept. 25 meeting, the council unanimously approved the city’s participation in the fiber-to-home

project as long as Sibley and Renville counties are able to participate in the project. Green Isle City Councilor Dale ZumBerge is concerned the project may have to be started anew if one of the cities in the participating counties has to take the lead on issuing bonds for the project. Green Isle’s participation has possible financial strings. If the project is ultimately built, the city is on the hook for as much as 3.75 percent of the draw upon the reserves should it lack sufficient payments from subscribers for the telephone, Internet or TV services. If that draw were $100,000 for a given year, Erickson said, Green Isle’s share would be $3,750.

25 meeting. The owners said they need additional time to remove valuable personal items from the building. “It’s like going into King Tut’s tomb. We’re finding more than we ever new we had,” said Lee Eustis, one of the building’s owners. Eustis will not oppose the demolition of the building. The city plans to seek quotes for a company to raze the building. The city will initially pay for its demolition and have the owners pay for it, either directly or through assessment. “We’re not going to be chaining ourselves to the building,” Eustis told the council. Eustis asked about the ability to reclaim the brick for resale. The council said ownership of the brick would be between the company that razes the building and the building’s owners. The city will consider quotes on the work at its Oct. 25 meeting.

Eustis Building

Michelle Volkenant and Lee Eustis, owners of the Eustis Building adjacent to Green Isle City Hall, were granted permission to remove personal items from the building at the Sept.

Flowering bulbs can be found in many local businesses. If you are unsure of which way to plant the bulb, plant it on it’s side as the new growth will orientate itself. Be sure to plant the bulbs deep enough with at least 3-5 inches of soil on top. The Belle Plaine Farmers Market is held Wednesdays from 3:30-6:30 p.m. May through October at Court Square Park. No early sales, please respect the bell. Vendors are welcome. For more information, contact Lisa Fahey at 952-873-5665 or Diane Skelley at 952-8732467.

There are four more weeks left of the Belle Plaine Farmers Market. Four more weeks to stock up on winter produce and canned goods for the long winter. Enjoy the fall weather at the park while you stroll amongst the vendors. Apples, squash, pumpkins, peppers, tomatoes and more are still prominent at the market. All of the canned goods are fresh from the season and ready to be enjoyed throughout the year. There’s also a huge selection of baked goods to satisfy your sweet tooth. Many perennials can be split and replanted now before they go into their dormant stage. If you prefer to split them in the spring, take a picture now. That way you will remember which

HEAVEN

I took a trip to heaven but only in my mind. I wanted to know what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to leave all you love behind, so I closed my eyes, and started to see just how beautiful heaven can be. I could see pearly gates of white and behind them was the most radiant light. I saw an angel as she was passing by so incredibly beautiful that a tear fell from my eye. Everyone looked perfect and with the angels they did sing there are no earthly words to describe the beauty of their wings. As I sat on a beach in the most incredible garden I asked God for all of my sins to be pardoned I took one last look at all of the beauty around and when I opened my eyes, it was peace that I found. Still missing you RYAN!!!! FOREVER We will miss you!!!! the Laabs family

Sheriff’s Scholarship Program Scott County Sheriff Kevin Studnicka has announced the beginning of the Minnesota Sheriffs’ Association Scholarship Program for 2012. The MSA has established a scholarship fund for the awarding of (15) $600 scholarships for this year. These scholarships are due to the coordinated efforts of the 87 sheriffs of Minnesota. The members of the Minnesota Sheriffs’ Association give special recognition to the financial needs of students attending the peace officers skills course or one of the two- or four-year law enforcement degree colleges. The scholarship committee, in making its selection of awards, intends on achieving representation from all geographical areas of the state. Applications will be received until Oct. 15

of each year, with scholarship awards being announced by Dec. 31 of the same year. Application forms and a statement of procedures are available at the Scott County Sheriff’s Office. Scholarships are only available to students currently enrolled in one of the following three categories: – Mandated POST skills program – In their second year of a twoyear law enforcement program – In their third or fourth year of a four-year college criminal justice program. In order to qualify, students must have completed at least one year of the two-year program or two years of a four-year program. Students meeting this criteria are invited to obtain a scholarship application from their local sheriff’s office or online at www.mnsheriffs.org.

Meth Possession, Carrying it Into Jail Brings More Charges Against Man A man is in hot water for allegedly violating his probation and is also charged with drug possession and bringing contraband into the Scott County Jail. Matthew Allen Byrd of Belle Plaine is charged with possession of methamphetamines, a felony, and bringing the drug with him into the Scott County Jail, a gross misdemeanor. He is currently in the county jail and is due back in district court to face the charges Nov. 6. Byrd, 50, was arrested on a probation violation the afternoon of Sept. 27 at an apartment on the 100 block of North Meridian Street. Already on probation and prohibited from consuming alcohol, the criminal charge indicates the arresting officer noticed Byrd was jittery and smelled of alcohol. Byrd admitted he’d consumed a half-can of beer shortly before the officer’s arrival, the

charge states. A portable-breath test indicated a blood-alcohol concentration of .028. The arresting officer performed a pat-down search outside the apartment. Byrd asked the officer to give the possessions he found during the search to a friend standing nearby. Byrd was taken to the county jail and searched again before entering the jail. He was searched a third time inside the county jail. During the third search, a corrections officer found a small cellophane bag containing a white powdery substance in the coin pocket of Byrd’s jean shorts. A test of the powdery substance indicated the presence of methamphetamine. The bag and powdery substance weighed .09 grams. The charge says Byrd told the officer he forgot the cellophane bag was in his pocket.

If you own an automobile, what does your car mean to you? For some people, it is simply a necessity. Owning a car allows them to go to work or conduct business. Other people use their car in an attempt to define themselves. Many people are intrigued by the technology and love to tinker with their cars. They may even purchase a car simply to work on it and fix it up. I have heard cars defined as freedom. The ability to go where you want and when you want. It is amazing to consider all of the different ways people view their cars. You may have some additional automotive angles to add to the list. October 1, 1908 was a landmark date in the automotive industry. The Ford Model T was introduced on this day. The Model T was a luxury when it came out. It cost $850 but Henry Ford had so much demand that he developed the assembly line. Once the concept was polished a bit, Ford’s assembly workers could drive another Model T off of the end of the assembly line every ten seconds and the cost fell to the point that the basic Model T cost $260. That was still a lot of money for a car but much more manageable in the budgets of that time. This resulted in the sale of 15,007,033 Model T automobiles being produced. The model T was developed in Detroit in a building known as the Piquette plant. They rapidly grew out of this building into a new facility in Highland Park, Michigan. While I read about this, I thought about the number of people that use the library in the process of owning a car. Some people come to read reviews about cars that they are interested in. Others come in to look at the N.A.D.A. books to check the value of various cars that they may be buying or selling. People that are trying to repair their cars make use of our Alldata database. This is a reference resource for repair and recall information. If any of this interests you, motor on in and we will be glad to help you.

Tigers Keep Piling Up Wins by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School volleyball team’s two-plus year unbeaten streak in the Minnesota River Conference got a little longer Thursday when it swept Jordan 3-0 Thursday night at the BPHS gym. The Tigers had gotten the week started two nights earlier with a hardfought 3-1 victory over visiting Class 3A power Shakopee. Belle Plaine was scheduled to travel to New Prague for a nonconference match against the Trojans Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press. The Tigers will host Le Sueur-Henderson in a big MRC match-up 7:15 p.m. this Thursday. They will resume MRC play Oct. 11 at Tri-City United. Tigers 3, Shakopee 1 The Tigers welcomed one of the state’s most successful volleyball programs of the 2000s to the BPHS gym last Tuesday night and the fans got their money’s worth. Shakopee, which won the state Class 3A championship three years in a row (2007-09), captured game one 25-19 before Belle Plaine battled back with two tough wins (25-23 and 2826) in games two and three to gain the momentum, which carried over into a 25-19 triumph in game four. “No matter how strong our offense was, we knew Shakopee’s hustle and work ethic would require us to fight just as hard to match their defensive effort,” said Belle Plaine coach Cassie Wolpern. “It was great to see our girls compete in four close games, and prevail when the scores were closest. This was a good win for us, one that hopefully sets the tone for the second half of our season.” Haley Fogarty had 18 kills, 15 digs and three service aces for the Tigers, all team highs.

Hubmen End Skid at Tigers’ Expense by Dan Ruud The Jordan High School football team celebrated like it had just won a section championship following Friday night’s 13-12 victory over Belle Plaine in Jordan. The Hubmen had good cause to be jubilant as they won for the first time since Sept. 17, 2010 when they defeated Montgomery-Lonsdale. Since then, Jordan had lost 18 games in a row. The end of the skid came at the Tigers’ expense, who are left as the only team still winless this season in the Minnesota River Conference at 0-4 (1-4 overall). The game started out as if it

The Tigers, who finished the regular season 4-4 in the Minnesota River Conference, 7-12 overall, received the No. 7 seed in the Section 2A Tournament and defeated No. 10 Tri-City United 4-3 this past Monday at the Belle Plaine Athletic Complex. The Tigers will now head to Blue Earth Area to face the No. 2 seed Bucs in the quarterfinals 4 p.m. this Thursday. The winner of that match will advance to Gustavus Adolphus College’s Swanson Center next Monday for a semifinal show-

down against either No. 3 seed Jordan or No. 6 Sibley East. The winner of that match will then take on the semifinal winner of the upper bracket, which features No. 1 seed Waseca. That match will also take place next Monday. Both semifinals are scheduled to start at 9 a.m., followed by the championship at noon. USC 5, Tigers 2 Belle Plaine made the long bus ride to Wells last Tuesday and returned home with a 5-2 loss. The Tigers’ wins came from the No. 2 doubles teams of Sophie Brazil and Jamie Read 6-1, 63 and the No. 3 duo of Kaisa Hallgren and Meghan Gavin 67, 6-2, 6-1. “I was very proud of Kaisa and Meghan who lost a heartbreaker first set and then pulled

it together to win the next two sets,” said Tigers coach Annette Moylan. Jordan 4, Tigers 3 After losing to MRC champion Jordan 6-1 two weeks earlier, the Tigers made the final outcome much closer this timearound, but could not prevent Jordan from finishing 8-0 in the conference for a second year in a row. The highlight of the match for Belle Plaine was the No. 2 doubles team of Brazil and Read, who capped off an undefeated (8-0) campaign in the MRC with a 6-4, 6-2 triumph.

for during a special session of the council on Oct. 29. Additional information that was contained in a press release received from the SMSC on Monday can be found at the conclusion of this article. In other business Monday night, the council unanimously approved a resolution modifying a home building incentive program that was authorized this past spring. That action made it allowable for the city to waive building permit fees for certain new single-family home construction. It came after local home builder Wayne Schmidt had approached the council and asked for the measure, which Schmidt said could provide a boost to the slumping residential homebuilding scene. The committee of the whole had also discussed incentives to help spur new residential home construction, which ďŹ&#x201A;ourished for about a decade in Belle Plaine and elsewhere before dropping off considerably several years ago. The committee of the whole recommended that the council proceed with waiving the building permit and plan review fees â&#x20AC;&#x153;for up to 10 new single-family homes, which shall be constructed in existing, platted subdivisions, and shall be owner-occupied.â&#x20AC;? The council approved that recommendation on March 5. A month later the council agreed to add the following to the above resolution: â&#x20AC;&#x153;or to be owner occupied when sold by the builder for up to a maximum of two spec homes per builder.â&#x20AC;? Then this past Monday night, the program was modiďŹ ed further. Additional language now states that: â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The subject homes shall be owner-occupied, or to be owner-occupied when sold by the builder. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After closing on the sale of an existing spec home, in which the building permit and plan review fees were waived, the

contractor may have the building permit and plan review fees waived for subsequent singlefamily new homes, contingent on the builder not having more than two unsold spec homes. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The maximum number of new single-family homes allowed under this program is 10. City Administrator David Murphy said that the building permit and plan review fees in Belle Plaine normally total about $3,000. *The council called for a ďŹ nal assessment public hearing for the 2012 Woodridge Drive and Woodridge Circle resurfacing project. All affected property owners will have the opportunity to comment on their assessments during a special session of the council at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 29 at the Belle Plaine Government Center. The total amount proposed to be assessed is $23,159, which would be assessed in annual installments over a seven-year BPHS science teacher Bradley Pederson was the guest speaker period. at Monday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BPHS Homecoming Coronation. *Unanimously authorized the public works department to seek candidates for three winter seasonal employees. These workers, who are hired annually, help with snow removal on an on-call basis and assist with maintaining the hockey and skating rinks. The wage scale is public works 1, which is the starting step. *Unanimously approved a trio of pay requests by Chard Tiling and Excavating of Belle Plaine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $129,344 for work on the Belle Plaine Trail, $160,595 for work on the 2012 street improvement project and $10,948 for work on the 2012 Chestnut Ravine project. After the quick end to the regular agenda, the council held a closed meeting to discuss ongoing labor union negotiations and to follow up on the city administratorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance evaluation. The next regular meeting of the Belle Plaine City Council is scheduled for 6 p.m. Oct. 15 in the Belle Plaine Government Center at 218 North Meridian Street downtown. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homecoming King Jessy Dols enjoyed another crowning moment after placing the crown on new King Brandon Boateng Monday night.
