City-Wide Recycle and Cleanup Day This Saturday

Since Prince’s passing last Thursday (April 21), thousands of fans created a memorial to the music icon along the fence outside Paisley Park in Chanhassen.

For Belle Plaine Native, Prince Was Both Icon and His Boss Paul Pudlitzke Managed Prince’s Glam Slam Nightclubs

Paul Pudlitzke spent Saturday night visiting memory lane, recalling the days in the early1990s when he worked for the international megastar. Pudlitzke just knew him as ‘boss.’

The Belle Plaine native spent the evening at First Avenue surrounded by Prince’s fans and many former co-workers mourning the late music icon found dead at Paisley Park, Prince’s home and recording studio in Chanhassen.

They celebrated his talent and shared stories, both about the music and their days of working for Prince at Glam Slam nightclubs in downtown Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Miami.

“I’m a music lover,” Pudlitzke said. “He was, to me, the best musician on earth.”

Today, the 48-year-old Pudlitzke is a successful Realtor for Edina Realty. He works weekend, hours driven by the needs of his clients. That’s nothing new.

From 1990 through late-1994, he worked for Prince. It was a fast-paced lifestyle filled with challenge, adrenalin rushes and finding ways to accomplish the seemingly improbable. Satisfying the boss’s flair for production and creativity and running the business side of the operation was more than a full-time job.

Pudlitzke started out as a foodand-beverage manager at Glam Slam, the downtown Minneapolis nightclub Prince opened at 110 Fifth Street N. in late-1989 to challenge First Avenue. He got the job through a classified job in the Star-Tribune. Pudlitzke was four years out of Belle Plaine High School. About 18 months into the job, Prince saw

One of Two Men Charged in Olander Murder Pleads Guilty Vergara Takes Plea Deal; Benitez Asks for More Time to Decide

Paul Pudlitzke worked for Prince for nearly five years in the early-1990s. The Belle Plaine native was hired in 1990 as a food and beverage manager at Glam Slam, Prince’s downtown Minneapolis nightclub. He later earned a promotion to general manager of the Glam Slam nightclubs in Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Miami. An autographed wine list is one of his prized mementos from those days. something he liked in the young man from Belle Plaine.

“He saw that I was able to get things done,” Pudlitzke said.

He was promoted to general manager, a job that had him overseeing all facets of the nightclub’s operation, from booking performers to making sure the club’s security and staffing were appropriate for the anticipated audience. He was ultimately responsible for a staff – full- and part-timers of 600 people.

One of the two men charged with first- and second-degree murder in the brutal beating death of Earl Olander agreed to plead guilty to a reduced charge in exchange for the dropping of other charges against him.

Reinol Godines Vergara pleaded guilty to second-degree murder (aiding and abetting) of Earl Olander, a retired farmer who lived alone in San Francisco Township, just outside of Belle Plaine. Olander was well known among local residents, particularly in the farming and agri-business communities.

In exchange for the plea, more serious charges of first-degree murder will be dropped. Vergara must serve 25 years of a 37½ year sentence in prison before

being eligible for parole.

Vergara, 36, will be back in court for a hearing May 6, most likely where he will be formally sentenced.

A press release from Carver County Attorney Mark Metz indicated the other defendant in the Olander murder – Edson Benitez – would also plead guilty Thursday morning to the same charges as Vergara.

But Benitez apparently wanted more time to decide whether or not he would accept the same plea agreement Vergara received.

Benitez, 29, will also be in court May 6. If he accepts the plea agreement, both he and Vergara will be sentenced immediately.

If he declines it, the court will schedule a trial against Benitez.

Part of Vergara’s plea deal includes agreeing to testify truthfully against Benitez. Metz expects Benitez will accept the plea agreement.

Both men are in the country illegally and will eventually be

deported, Metz said.

Vergara did not admit to killing Olander during Thursday’s hearing, but the agreement is enough to send him to prison for 25 years, Metz said.

The Charges

According to the charges against the two men, Vergara and Benitez allegedly entered Olander’s house on Homestead Road in San Francisco Township on April 9 or 10, 2015.

They are charged with beating Olander and ransacking his house. They allegedly stole items that include $2 bills, old silver and silverware, a Bible, and two $1,000 U.S. Savings Bonds.

Olander, 90, was found dead April 11 when a neighbor went to the house to check on him at the request of one of his relatives.

Heavy Night Lifting Steel workers guided the first of six 40 ton concrete beams into place over southbound Highway 169 in Belle Plaine last Wednesday night (April 20). The following night, six beams were placed over the northbound lanes. The beams will support the bridge deck for the Highway 169 overpass. Each

beam is 105 feet long. Police stopped traffic on the highway when the beams were being lifted into place. The overall project will cost about $5 million and should be completed this summer.

Dahle Salutes Purple

by Sen. Kevin Dahle As leaders negotiate, â&#x20AC;&#x153;purpleâ&#x20AC;? members look for points of unity.

While we may see tough talk between Republican and Democratic Party leaders during the last few weeks of the legislative session, members of the Minnesota Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Purple Caucus have a different philosophy.

Currently, the color purple reminds me more of the tragic loss of Prince, but the Purple Caucus has been working hard to ďŹ nd points of unity between our two parties outside of the shared loss of a Minnesota icon.

As a representative of a very politically diverse district, I am proud to be a member of the Purple Caucus. The caucus includes both parties, with Senators Jeremy Miller (R-Winona) and Roger Reinert (DFL-Duluth) acting as co-chairs.

In the caucus, our strong Minnesota pride unites us, despite our occasional differences. The Purple Caucus meets regularly to talk about positions we have in common, and we have outlined four principles that we will speak up for as the session draws to a close.

First, Minnesotans expect the 2016 legislature to pass a Transportation Finance Bill, a Tax Bill, and a Bonding Bill.

The transportation and tax bills are still pending from last year, when the session ended before either bill was passed. I believe that sustainable transportation funding is critical to our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic development, and will save taxpayers money in the long run. A tax bill with carefully targeted middle-class and property tax relief will give some money back to Minnesotans, without busting the budget in future years.

The Purple Caucus also supports the passage of both a Bonding Bill and a Transporta-

Latest technology Small town atmosphere Complete Adult or Child Check Up New Patients Special $75 Exam, Cleaning (routine) & 4 X-ray Films or $50 off any Dental Service

tion Finance Bill, and that roads, bridges and transit should not be funded through borrowing in the Bonding Bill.

Bonding is an important tool that the state uses to upgrade, repair or build new state infrastructure, and leaning on this borrowing to fund roads and bridges would crowd out needed investments in other areas.

I am concerned that overlypoliticizing the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bonding by including individual transportation projects would jeopardize their eventual completion and, furthermore, be bad for our long-term ďŹ scal health.

Third, and perhaps most importantly, the Purple Caucus has called for increased transparency in the legislative process.

The end of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislative session was disappointing to everyone, with closed-door meetings and negotiations often locking out the public and elected ofďŹ cials both. We believe that all legislators and the public should be included in the ďŹ nal decision-making process.

The Purple Caucus also encourages like-minded members of the Minnesota House to join our efforts, prioritizing our common ground as we ďŹ nish this session. We may not always be successful, and there are still major differences between our parties, but acknowledging and ďŹ ghting for our shared goals will make our state a better place for everyone.

The Purple Caucus adheres to the following principles, as developed by the Speak Your Peace Civility Project: pay attention; be inclusive; not gossip; show respect; be agreeable; apologize; give constructive criticism; and take responsibility.

complaint, the two men allegedly beat the retired farmer and bound his hands and feet with duct tape. His feet were freed when deputies arrived at the house and the bloodstains on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor indicated Olander was bleeding profusely while struggling to free himself.

Deputies found shoe prints belonging to a pair of Crocs and Adidas shoes in the house.

A citizen cleaning out an apartment where Benitez previously lived in St. Paul led police to the two men. The citizen found the two U.S. Savings bonds bearing Olanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name tucked in a Bible written in a European language. The citizen called police after checking Olanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name on the Internet and learning he was the victim of a murder in Carver County, according to the charges against Benitez and Vergara.

Benitez was arrested at his place of employment May 9, 2015. When he was taken into custody, he was wearing a pair of Crocs shoes supposedly matching the shoe print found in Olanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. Vergara was wearing Adidas shoes when he was arrested the following day, according to the criminal complaint.

Vergara had previously worked for Olander, painting his house and shed within the past year, Commander Paul Tschida of the Carver County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ ce said.

Vergara had been in the house to use the bathroom. Olander provided Vergara water during breaks from his work. They believed, the charge states, Olander would be an easy target because he was old, lived alone and had money.

The two men allegedly arrived at his house wearing hooded sweatshirts to hide their identities and carried a black bag containing a shotgun, duct tape and rope. The criminal complaints say they entered through an unlocked rear door.

Olander was sleeping on his couch when he was attacked, according to the criminal complaints. They covered him with a blanket and tightly bound his hands with duct tape. They hit his head and body with the shotgun, according to the criminal charges.

The two men ďŹ&#x201A;ed the house, the criminal charges state, leaving Olander bound and bleeding while they ďŹ&#x201A;ed back to the Twin Cities.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor, On April 13, Jim Nash, the elected Representative for Minnesota House District 47a, was one of 35 Republican state legislators from Minnesota to sign a letter praising North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory for passing the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act (HB2), which is also know as the bathroom bill.

The law, which prohibits local municipalities from enacting their own anti-discrimination policies, has been widely criticized. Governor Dayton is just one of the dozens of elected ofďŹ cials who have banned nonessential travel to North Carolina because of this new law. The economic effect of this discriminatory legislation is thought to have already cost the state of North Carolina hundreds of millions of dollars, if not more.

In the letter Nash and his colleagues offer their â&#x20AC;&#x153;sincere thanksâ&#x20AC;Ś for protecting the safety and privacy of citizens in your state.â&#x20AC;? It goes on to state â&#x20AC;&#x153;we applaud your efforts to protect the privacy and safety of all, especially our children.â&#x20AC;?

The letter is written under the guise that North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bathroom bill represents the views of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the vast majority of Minnesotans.â&#x20AC;?

The Johnson Bros., Alfred and Theodore, celebrated their 25 years in the mercantile business following their purchase of the J.C. Morrison stock in 1901.

Henry Schultz was having the old brick house cleared from his farm to make room for a large modern structure. The old home was one of the ďŹ rst brick structures erected in the German Settlement.

Elected as ofďŹ cers of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Study Club were Mrs. P.C. Ehrenberg, Mrs. H.H. Doyle, Mrs. F.J. Whitlock and Mrs. B.M. Hughes.

Art Splettstoesser took over operation of the Belle Plaine Garage, P.H. Donovan retaining the Buick sales agency.

Henry Planko purchased the Michael Wiggie farm near St. Thomas for $100 per acre.

While back for a visit at the home of his sister, Mrs. Anna Brahee at West Union, Andrew Sell died at age 77. His remains were taken to his home at Bemidji for burial.

A large crowd was at the home of Thomas Schoenecker at Union Hill in celebration of the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30th anniversary.

At the German Settlement church took place the marriage of Miss Helen Ernsting and Alfred Holtz, Rev. J. Janzing ofďŹ ciating. After a wedding trip, the couple established their home on the groomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm in Tyrone Township.

The remains of Mrs. Thos.

Hodnett were brought from the city for burial at St. Thomas.

She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Regan.

At the home of the brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother took place the marriage of Miss Pearl Chard and Walter Holste, Rev. P.J. Haupt ofďŹ ciating.

Emil Krueger, 47, youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Adam Krueger, died. Rev. P.J. Haupt ofďŹ ciated at the funeral services.

pointed in Jim Nashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions and his misinformed theory that this legislation, which takes aim at protections for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, has anything to do with safety. Furthermore, I am irate that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s using his position as an elected ofďŹ cial to advance his conservative viewpoint.

It makes me sad to know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier for Jim Nash to support legislation that discriminates against people, rather than trying to understand them.

The truth is Jim Nash isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concerned about â&#x20AC;&#x153;our children,â&#x20AC;? heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afraid of accepting those who are different from him.

The idea that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re protecting the kids of Carver County by discriminating against others is absolutely abhorrent. By proclaiming his support for North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;bathroom billâ&#x20AC;? with the excuse that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about safety and privacy, Jim Nash is lying in order to support his own prejudices, which is especially horrifying when it comes from a state Representative.

Jim Nash was elected to represent ALL of the Carver County residents in his district, even the ones who are different than him. With actions like adding his name to the letter supporting this discriminatory legislation, he has proven he does not.

Shame on you Jim Nash!

About Half the Corn Crop Gets Planted Before Rain and Cooler Temps Arrive Warm and dry conditions the better part of this month allowed many Minnesota farmers, including in the Belle Plaine area, to get a good percentage of their corn planted just in time for this past Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beneďŹ cial rains.

Belle Plaine farmer Ewald Gruetzmacher said he got about half of his corn planted, and from what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heard and observed, most other area farmers have done about the same.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Minnesota farmers made good progress planting between rain showers during the week ending April 24, well ahead of average.

As of the start of this week, the USDA reports that Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corn planting was about 45 percent complete, two weeks ahead of the ďŹ ve-year average and four days ahead of last year. This is the second highest amount planted by this date on record, behind 2010.

There were scattered reports of corn emerging and soybeans being planted in the central and

southern parts of the state.

Small grain seeding continues to be well ahead of average.

Spring wheat planting was 46 percent complete, two weeks ahead of average but eight days behind last year. Nine percent of the spring wheat crop had emerged, eight days ahead of average and four days ahead of last year.

The possibility of more widely scattered showers today (Wednesday) and early Thursday combined with cooler temperatures is expected to keep planting at a minimum for the remainder of this week.

The extended forecast calls for high temperatures at or near 60 degrees now through the beginning of next week. There is also a chance for showers this weekend and next Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be able to do much this week,â&#x20AC;?

Gruetzmacher said.

According to the Scott County rain gauge on the Gruetzmacher farm, close to 2 inches of rain has fallen in April, with 1.45 inches of that coming between this past Thursday and Monday.

Kranz Wins Sibley East School Board Runoff for Open Seat The man who fought the Sibley East School District to the gates of the Minnesota Supreme Court is now a member of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors.

Nathan Kranz of rural Gaylord won the special election for the last seven months of the late Beth DuFraneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s term. Kranz received 501 votes, topping Jonathon Hazelwood by 126 votes.

Kranz enjoyed the comfortable win thanks to voters in Green Isle. He received 25 more voted than Hazelwood in Arlington (237-208). Hazelwood topped Kranz in Gaylord by six votes (126-120). In Green Isle, Kranz received 121 votes to Hazel-

woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 29 votes.

The release of votes Thursday triggered an outpouring of support Wednesday morning. He told supporters on Facebook he would represent their interests and not those of the existing school board.

Kranz unsuccessfully fought the district over its bond election for a new elementary school in Gaylord and a renovated secondary school in Arlington. He also defeated the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to force him to pay for the litigation and costs associated with the delay starting the construction work on the two schools.

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

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

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

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

Liebhard Publishes Another Book, Area Signings Upcoming Dr. Wayne Liebhard, a 1975 graduate of Belle Plaine High School, recently published his latest book called “The Vortex Effect,” a suspense novel set in Minnesota, particularly the Minnesota River Valley area.

The book’s subplots include a look into the world of Minnesota music, medicine and politics. New York Times best-selling author Elinor Burkett calls the book “intelligent, compelling and fun.” The book’s website is http://www. omegamed.com.

“The Vortex Effect” has been submitted to the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, which is referred to by the book industry and Wikpedia as the “Sundance” of the book publishing world. These awards will be announced April 30 and presented at the Newberry Library in Chicago during Book Expo America on May 11. Liebhard’s previous two books have won top honors in their categories in this award program.

Liebhard has also won numerous national awards as an author and songwriter, gaining special acclaim for his book “Elephants in the Exam Room – The Big Picture Solution to Today’s Health Care Crisis,” and music from his album “Here-In Flyover Country.”

Liebhard is a member of the Solid Gold Band, which is no stranger to Belle Plaine as it has played here on multiple occasions during German Days and Bar-B-Q Days.

Liebhard, a family physician for many years, is the son of the late Harlan and Arvilla Liebhard. After graduating from BPHS, he earned undergraduate degrees in natural and social sciences from Saint John’s University and his medical degree

from the University of Minnesota.

About “The Vortex Effect” ER doctor Derek Mann is in desperate need of a vacation.

He needs the time to reflect on the many questions that continue to plague him – questions about life, medicine, and a recurring dream from his past as a musician.

Instead, his leisurely north woods trip to join friends starts out with a suspicious tire blowout and quickly escalates into a series of events that spin his life out of control.

While wandering in the woods at camp, Derek experiences an altered state, entering a vortex that expands his understanding, but also makes him aware that someone seeks his demise.

After leaving camp, he realizes that the incident seems to have remarkably enhanced his skills.

Eager to see if the vortex can help him find the beautiful stranger haunting his dreams, and to answer the questions that trouble him, Derek knows he must go back.

Will Derek find the answers he seeks, or will someone else find him first?

Liebhard held two book signings in Minneapolis and Prior Lake this past weekend.

Still to come are: – April 30 - Signing/discussion: Barnes and Noble, 1291 Promenade Pl., Eagan, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

May 1 - Signing/greeting: Lunds and Byerly’s, 16731 Highway 13 South, Prior Lake, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Lakeville North Invitational Lakeville North calls its annual invitational the Mega Meet and that it was as the event was filled with some of the best big-school teams in the area.

Unfortunately for the Tigers, the meet brought a halt to their string of consecutive first-place team finishes dating back to last year’s state Class 1A meet and beyond.

Finishing at the top of the heap was Minnetonka with 112 points. Prior Lake was second with 90, followed by Forest Lake (73), Blake (60), Bloomington Jefferson (58), Orono (49), Lakeville North (48), Anoka (45), New Prague (39), Belle Plaine (36), Woodbury (14), North Branch (10), Elk River (10), Henry Sibley (10), Totino-Grace (7) and Minnehaha Academy (4).

The Tigers mustered two firstplace finishes. Among them was the 4x100-meter relay team of Jenna Gatz, Donkhong, Dikmen and Ally Fink with a time of 51.37. Bloomington Jefferson was second in 51.54.

Dikmen accounted for Belle Plaine’s only other first, winning the 100-meter hurdles in 16.03, a half-second ahead of Woodbury’s Vanessa Versaguis (16.53).

The Tigers had two other topfive placers – the 4x200 relay team (fourth) and Haley Leger in the high jump (fifth).

“We were able to pick up this meet against very large AA schools after last spring’s high state meet finish,” said Belle Plaine coach Rich Foust.

“We knew when we accepted the invitation to this meet that our girls would be competing against some of the best track athletes in the area. The girls really responded well to the competition and we had many personal bests throughout the day.”

Boys’ Results

Belle Plaine Triangular Tri-City United won 12 of the 18 events as it racked up 119 points to win last Tuesday’s triangular in Belle Plaine. The Tigers were second with 114 points and Sibley East was last with 43.

Winning their individual events for the Tigers were Ruben Baltierrez (300 hurdles) and Dalton Friedrichs (high jump). Belle Plaine was victorious in three relays – 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400. TCU won the 4x800 and Belle Plaine was second.

Lakeville North Invitational Belle Plaine’s only top-five finish at Lakeville Saturday was turned in by Baltierrez, who placed fourth in the 300meter hurdles.

Tigers’ Win String Snapped at 8

by Dan Ruud A six-run inning is what it took to end the Belle Plaine High School baseball team’s eightgame winning streak to begin the season as Sibley East scored all its runs in the third inning this past Monday evening en route to a 6-3 victory over the Tigers. Last, week, Belle Plaine defeated New Ulm 11-1 and Tri-City United 1-0 to improve to 8-0 before Monday’s game.

The Tigers, 3-1 in the Minnesota River Conference, 8-1 overall, are scheduled to host Jordan 5 p.m. this Thursday.

Watertown-Mayer will be in town for a nonconference game 5 p.m. Friday.

Tigers 11, New Ulm 1 An eight-run fifth inning blew things open as Belle Plaine belted host New Ulm 11-1 in

a game that ended after five innings due to the 10-run rule last Tuesday.

Aiden Ladd, Nathan Herman and Mitchel Stier each had two hits and combined to drive home five runs for the Tigers.

The other four hits were by Jon Vinkemeier, Wes Sarsland, Ryan Bremseth-Vining and Luke Narveson, the latter of whom scored three runs.

Sarsland picked up the win on the mound, lasting four innings, allowing one run, three hits and two walks. He struck out four.

“Sarsland had another very nice outing where he was able to keep the New Ulm hitters off-balance and give us a great effort against a solid 3A team,” said Tigers coach Pat Schultz.

Close-out pitcher Vinkemeier once again finished off the game

with a scoreless fifth inning.

“This was another nice win and helps put us in a good spot as we head into more of the conference games on our schedule,” Schultz said. “The boys are playing well right now but need to make sure they keep working hard and getting better everyday as the year progresses.”

Tigers 1, Tri-City United 0 Belle Plaine had to work hard for victory number eight, at least until the final batter of the game, Bremseth-Vining, who got walked to force in the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning against TCU Thursday at Tiger Park.

This past Monday’s nonconference game at WatertownMayer was postponed due to wet grounds. No makeup date has been announced.

The Tigers, 1-2 in the MRC, 2-3 overall, were scheduled to host last-place Sibley East in a MRC game Tuesday after this edition of the Herald went to press.

“Mayer played great defense against us and we had too many short 1-2-3 innings.”

The vastly-improved Crusaders outhit the Tigers 6-3, scoring a run in the bottom of the first inning, one in the third and four in the fourth.

Maddie Haller pitched the first four innings for Belle Plaine, allowing five runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk. She had six strikeouts. Kaylee Hentges pitched the final two innings, allowing one earned run on two hits.

Elizabeth Johnson accounted for two of the Tigers’ three hits.
