Winter’s Royalty

SnoFest Week at Belle Plaine High School started off with a fresh blanket of about a halffoot of snow, which forced the cancellation of classes on Monday. The school was originally scheduled to have the day off anyway seeing how it was Presidents’ Day. But winter-weather related cancellations earlier this year prompted school officials to cancel that day off, but Old Man Winter changed that with Monday’s early-morning dumping. The school has a number of SnoFest activities planned for the rest of this week, culminating with Saturday night’s dance at the Oak Crest Elementary School gym.

week. Gov. Mark Dayton received over $2 billion in requests for state bonding money. He’s offered a bonding bill in the neighborhood of $1.2 billion. Woodard said there is general agreement between Republican and DFL leadership in the House and Senate the bonding bill should come in around $850 million. Dahle said the state can afford a larger bonding bill than that, although he expects he’ll support the lower amount. Woodard and Dahle agree on the importance of maintaining infrastructure and the jobs the bonding funds. Woodard and Dahle would both like to see a larger percentage of the bonding bill targeted to roads and bridges. The governor’s proposal includes about 20 percent toward roads and bridges. “It isn’t like they fix themselves,”

Plant Science Class Leading to Tasty Lessons During FFA Week

Scott West Wins State Berth

Team Lettuce is growing lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. The plants are growing from oasis blocks that feel like a soft Styrofoam. The containers sit atop a heated mat. The students are watering the plants by hand using 85-degree water from the tilapia tank. The water contains nutrients from the tank. Team Spinach is growing spinach, lettuce and cucumbers. Its plants are growing from seeds planted in fibrous rock wool. The plants are automatically watered using a drip system delivering water from the tilapia tank. The students are also growing strawberries and raspberries

hydroponically, using water filtered through the tank. The students have to pay attention not only to the amount of water their plants receive, but also the levels of nutrients from the fish. Both sets of plants will require adjustments during the course of the competition. If the levels are out of balance, they have to fix it, said Bruce Mathiowetz, ag. educator at Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School. “The more they grow, the more they get to eat,” he said.

Between them, they have been a part of more than a dozen BPHS one-act plays performances at state.

They are pictured above in their costumes from this year’s production, “The Drowsy Professor,” which received a starred performance rating at the state festival Friday in St. Paul.

‘The Drowsy Professor’ Earns A Grand Star to Sleep Under

A Rough Winter for Motorists One of the biggest snowfalls of the season on Monday was still taking a toll on some motorists Tuesday morning, as evident of this scene. The driver of the car lost control and landed upside down at the edge of the woods along County Road 40 just east of Highway 25. Belle Plaine emergency crews were at the scene a short time later and the car was eventually removed. The driver was shaken up but not seriously injured.

‘Under the Big Top’

Giving Kids a Smile Dr. Mora Cervenka examined a patient on Feb. 7 at Strait Smiles Family Dentistry in Belle Plaine as part of Give Kids A Smile Day. Strait Smiles Family Dentistry again participated in the annual event as two hygienists, one dental assistant and three office staff members helped provide free general oral health care to children 17 years of age and under. Without Strait Smiles and other participating dental clinics, many children would go without the necessary basic oral health care they need.

The Belle Plaine High School Explosion dance team performed before thousands of people at Saturday’s Minnesota State High School League Class 2A High Kick Dance Tournament at Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. Although Belle Plaine did not advance to the final round of six, the team did receive a loud round of applause and some notoriety for the program. TotinoGrace of Fridley was this year’s champion. It was Belle Plaine’s second time dancing at state in Target Center, the other year being 2009. Kathi Stauffacher, who is retiring this year as the head coach, has been with the BPHS dance program since its inception in 2000. The program joined the MSHSL in 2004. Belle Plaine’s routine this year was called “Under the Big Top,� which fittingly enough ended under the biggest roof where Minnesota high school dance is performed. Members of this year’s BPHS varsity dance team consists of seniors Hannah Johnson, Lexi Stauffacher, Bryce Schmidt,

Whether you live in the city or a rural area, you can create natural areas in your yard by planting native prairie where your lawn or crop fields once were. The Scott Soil and Water Conservation District in Jordan is hosting two free native prairie workshops in Scott County this winter. The first date is Tuesday, Feb. 25 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Credit River Town Hall; the second workshop is slated for Thursday, March 13 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Legends Golf Club (Legends will be open for dining before the workshop begins). You can register for either date. At the workshop, you will learn everything you want to know about native plants. The SWCD staff will show you exactly how to get your prairie started, planted and maintained. At the end, you will also get to see photos of projects around Scott County and remnant prairies you can visit around the county and state. Residents who have planted prairie in Scott County will also share their experiences and will be available to answer your questions before and after the workshop. In addition, you will receive a helpful packet of information along with a personalized aerial map of the property you are considering in restoring to prairie. Eager to get prairie established for better soil, cleaner water and improved habitat, the SWCD staff will also offer a free site

Engagement

by Christine Otto, Secretary The VFW Ladies Auxiliary #6202 meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Belle Plaine Vets Club. New members are always welcome. At our last meeting, we made a donation to our National Presidents Project “Paws for Pets.” This is a project aimed at the training of service dogs to aid our Disabled Veterans. A very worthwhile project indeed. The Patriotic Art contest was taken to Trinity School. Now is also the time for four-year RN nursing students to apply for a Marcella Arnold Scholarship. Contact Connie Zurn at 8732342. We were reminded that January is cervical cancer month. Ladies beware. We also welcomed our new member, Amanda Sutherland. Just a reminder, our annual Fish Fry is March 7 and as usual our Steak Fry is held the second Friday of every month. We always need volunteers to help. If each member would offer to help one time in a year, we would have plenty of people to cover the need. Please contact a member if you are interested in helping at all. There are many things we need help with. Our next meeting is Thursday, Feb. 20. Hope to see you there!

Breaking in New Tools Belle Plaine firefighters recently took advantage of a mild Saturday to practice using new tools the city recently purchased. The tools will help firefighters extricate crash victims from inside or under a vehicle. The powerful tools can lift a collapsed dash board off a persons legs, cut the roof of a vehicle or even lift the side of a car off the ground. The $36,000 in tools was included in the department’s equipment budget.

Chaska May Bring Curling Rink to City Parks This Year

visit to get you started. The benefits of native prairie are many. First of all, they attract much-needed pollinators like bees and butterflies. They can also withstand drought and flooded conditions, require little maintenance and weeding, bring color and dimension to those border areas of your yard, bring nutrients back to lowproducing cropland, and bring enjoyment for years to come. This year, up to 100 percent of the cost of your project could be covered, thanks to a targeted grant through the Scott Watershed Management Organization for Credit River Township residents, and a Clean Water Fund grant through the Scott Soil and Water Conservation District for landowners in other parts of the Scott County. Refreshments will be offered, as well as door prize drawings for native seed mixes, honey gift baskets and seedlings. Workshop flyers are available on the SWCD and Scott County websites. To register in person or online, call the Scott SWCD office at 952-492-5425 or send an e-mail to dhrabe@co.scott. mn.us or go to www.scottswcd. org/workshops.

Did you see the 50 year tribute to the Beatles on CBS last weekend? Were you startled to realize that it was 50 years ago? CBS referred to February 9, 1964 as the night that the world changed. If you did not see it 50 years ago, you can find videos on Youtube. I realize that many of our readers may have never seen or heard of Ed Sullivan. We are here to help you. If your Youtube adventures leave you wanting more Beatles information, consider borrowing Beatles materials from your library. I went to the Scott County Library web page at URL: http://www. scott.lib.mn.us/ and I clicked on “Web Catalog/Account” in the upper left corner and did a simple search by typing “Beatles” into the search box. I was quickly rewarded with references to 70 some items to consider. After I sorted out the ones for bugs (beetles), I was down to about 50 different offerings. You can find more by searching on the individual names of the Beatles. There are books, CDs, and DVDs. There are enough Beatles related materials to keep you busy and entertained for many hours. It does not matter if this is a new adventure or a trip down memory lane. This is a significant piece of music history for you to consider. Your children or grandchildren might enjoy you sharing the experience with them. Come to the library and give it a try. It is fun and it is easy, especially, with a little help from your friends. As long as we wandering down memory lane, how many people recognize the name Sid Caesar? Sid Caesar passed away last week on February 12, 2014. Sid Caesar was a comedian and he became famous with the advent of television. His show,”Your Show of Shows, was one of the first big popular TV shows and in many ways he and TV made each other popular. We have a videocassette (do you remember VCRs?) called “Favorite moments of the stars: the 100 funniest moments of the 20th century” by Preston Trombley. Dust off that old VCR and give this tape a try. You may enjoy seeing some of the old stars, including some work done by Sid Caesar. One of the interesting part of offering this weekly column is the comments that you get back from readers. Some weeks, I feel real good about the article and I hear little or nothing about it. Other weeks, I am unsure about how a topic will be received and I am surprised by the reaction. I got a surprising amount of feedback about the “Makerspace” article last week. For those that were intrigued, simply go to Google and search on “Makerspace”. You will easily find resources that know much more about it than I do. One link pointed to an article that I found to be easier to under stand was at URL: http://oedb.org/ ilibrarian/a-librarians-guide-tomakerspaces/ , but there are many others that may suit you better. The Scott County Library System will be presenting “DISHED!”. This is a program with Teresa Marrone, author of “Modern Maple” Thursday February 20 at 7 p.m. at the Belle Belle Plaine Plaine Branch Library. Just in time for tapping season, wild food Herald author and blogger Teresa Marrone will cover all things maple syrup, from the process of making it, the history of Minnesota’s love affair with maple syrup, and even some how-to’s for making syrup from your own maple trees. I hope all of our local Maple syrup makers and anybody curious about the topic, come to meet Teresa. We have Storytime on Friday, February 21 at 10:30 a.m. with a “Police/Firemen” theme. Bring the family in for Storytime!

Shakopee Sand recently donated $10,000 to the Scott County Meth Task Force. The task force will use the money for outreach programs in county schools. Pictured above are (from left) Shakopee Sand Assistant Plant Manager David Eckhardt, Office Administrator Wendy Boutell, Shakopee Sand Plant Manager Doug Wermerskirchen, Scott County Commissioner Barbara Marschall, Scott County Attorney Pat Ciliberto, and Kevin Studnicka, the county sheriff.

Shakopee Sand Donates to Scott County Meth Task Force

When Fairmount Minerals acquired Shakopee Sand last year, the new owner promised involvement in the community. In December, the company made good on that pledge, donating $10,000 to the Scott County Meth Task Force. The donation will go toward the task force’s substance abuse outreach, education, and prevention initiatives in Scott County schools, said Pat Ciliberto, the county attorney. He and Commissioner Barbara Marschall of Prior Lake are co-

chairpersons of the task force. “They (Fairmount Minerals) believe it is important to be good corporate neighbors, and we agree,” said Doug Wermerskirchen, a Belle Plaine area native and plant manager at Shakopee Sand’s plant southwest of the intersection of Highways 169 and 41. He said the company’s commitment to each of the three pillars of sustainability – people, planet and prosperity – helps them focus on the company’s priorities, “… and in that order

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Thirty Years Ago This Week

The 1983-84 Trinity School cheerleaders were, from left, Diane Tesch, Shelly Vatthauer, Deb Zabel, Kristi Woestehoff, Kara Voss and Becky Stender. Belle Plaine residents would have the opportunity to help shape state and local education by voicing their opinions at the Town Meeting on Education on Feb. 28 at the high school gym. Belle Plaine was among hundreds of towns in Minnesota that were holding such meetings at the request of Dr. Ruth Randall, Minnesota commissioner of education. The Scott County Board made it very clear that Tuesday that a plan by the First Judicial District to develop a computer program and assess the counties for a share of the hardware costs was not acceptable. In reacting to the proposal, County Board Chairman Anthony Worm called the plan “a reinvention of the wheel.� Under the First Judicial plan, the entire court system would be automated. Worm pointed out that Scott County had been automated several years ago as a pilot project model for the district. Rumors had been flying around Belle Plaine and Jordan stating that one, two or even six Belle Plaine businessmen had been charged in connection with the ongoing county case of criminal sexual conduct with juveniles in Jordan. This newspaper contacted both the Scott County Sheriff’s Office and the Scott County Attorney’s Office to learn if there was any truth to the rumors. Both offices emphatically denied any Belle Plaine involvement in the case. Bill Nevin, chief deputy sheriff for Scott County, stated: “No one in Belle Plaine is under investigation for sexual abuse of children.� Scott County Attorney Kathleen Morrison agreed that they were strictly false rumors. Mark J. Hennen, a Belle Plaine High School graduate and son of Ronald and Marian Hennen, purchased the optometry practice of William N. Deuberry, O.D. in South St. Paul. Hen-

nen had been a member of that practice for several months before the purchase. The public was being invited to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by entering the local “Win-APot-Of-Gold� contest. All you had to do to enter was put your name, along with 25 cents, in any “Pot-Of-Gold� at participating merchants in Belle Plaine. On March 17, following the local parade, Belle Plaine’s new Miss Shamrock would draw the name of the winner. All entry money would be awarded to the winner. The Belle Plaine Bar-B-Q Days Committee was seeking worthwhile projects to be funded by profits from the community’s Bar-B-Q Days the previous summer. Over $150,000 had been spent on Belle Plaine parks from Bar-B-Q Days profits over the past 25 years. That year’s committee was Bob Schaalma, chairman; and Dave Westphal, Simon Haefner, Dave Unmacht and Ed Townsend. Belle Plaine High School was observing FFA Week that week with a number of activities. Featured would be the big pancake and sausage fund-raiser at the elementary school cafeteria. The BPHS boys’ basketball team dropped a pair of conference games that week, losing to Arlington 62-41 and to Le Sueur 55-51. The Tiger girls’ basketball team was edged by Arlington 42-41. Sandi Schmidt accounted for over half of Belle Plaine’s points with 24 of them. She also had 17 rebounds. The Tigers, the defending District13 champions, would open district play Feb. 17. The BPHS wrestling team placed third at the District 13 meet in Belle Plaine that was won by Waterville-Elysian, which was the defending champion. Jordan finished second. Belle Plaine had six wrestlers advance to the upcoming re-

gional competition – Ed Fogarty (district champ), Jim Buesgens, Mark Klehr, Andy Fogarty, Carl Hennen and Tim Traxler.

60 Years Ago (1954)

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Haas held an open house on the occasion of their 40th wedding anniversary, and were greeted by about 50 relatives and friends. At the annual meeting of the Minnesota Valley Milk Co-op., John O’Leary, Greg Schmidt and Howard Schultz were reelected to the board of directors. Two 18-year-old Red Wing training school fugitives who raided this area the preceding week and were lodged in the county jail at Gaylord, made a sensational break out of that jail. They dug into the plastered wall and escaped through a hole 7 1/2 inches by 14 inches. Last heard from, they broke through a police block at Albert Lea and were heading into Iowa. Mrs. Henry Weinan, better known to our older residents as Mrs. Joe Sisterman, nee Fanny Chard, died in St. Paul, in which city she made her home for many years. She was 87 years old. Harold Albrecht was compiling material for a centennial history book. The Scott County real estate dealers established a real estate board to be known as the Scott County Board of Realtors. Officers elected were Lloyd F. O’Brien of Belle Plaine, president; Ray Siebenaler of Shakopee, secretary-treasurer; Lee Schilling of New Prague and Mike Foldesi of Belle Plaine directors.

voted a $4,500 bond issue for construction and equipment of a new schoolhouse. Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Stratton left for a month’s outing in Texas. Dr. A. Gebhardt and family, who had been residents of Belle Plaine for many years, moved to Minneapolis. The Rasmussen (former Stratton) hardware store was sold to P.J. Ilved of Battle Lake, who took immediate possession. The Rasmussens, who had been in the hardware business here for seven years, located at Aberdeen, S.D. The marriage of Miss Lucille Zaun, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Zaun, to Howard Voigt of Jordan, took place. Eleanor Zaun and Lillian Voigt, Walter Lough and Edward Zaun were the attendants. Two locomotives met in a head-on collision at Blakeley and were jammed together so tightly that a wrecking train had to be called to pull them apart. The engine men leaped just ahead of the crash and nobody was hurt. Regular railroad traffic was not interrupted as the other trains went by on the siding. Hugh F. Swaim, 42, salesman for the Belle Plaine Motor Co., was stricken with a heart attack and died while delivering a car to a customer in St. Paul. His remains were taken to his former home in Redwood Falls for burial. Anna and John Johnson went to Swanville to attend the funeral of their sister, Mrs. Peter Johnson. Appointed as the new pastor of Jessenland parish was Father Sullivan, who came from Ortonville. The two winners in the Belle Plaine High School declamatory contest were Mildred Engfer and Frank McDevitt. They would represent the school at the district contest. Rev. C.F. Kock officiated at a double wedding when Miss Minnie Laabs married Fred Kistner of Arlington, and Miss Hannah Laabs married Herbert Trost of Jordan. Ed Bristol Sr. was in a St. Paul hospital as a result of a serious accident while operating a power saw. Sen. C.N. Cosgrove of Le Sueur was taking a cruise around the world. It was reported there were 139 widows on the boat taking the same cruise.

Strait of Shakopee, who served 12 years as congressman for this district, died at El Paso, Texas, while en route to California.

Budget Surplus, Bonding Topics State Lawmakers Will Tackle (continued from page 1)

Dahle said. Woodard expects the final bonding bill will also include security improvements at the state treatment facility in St. Peter and the long-debated fence around the womens’ prison in Shakopee. The two lawmakers also expect a portion of the surplus will be dedicated to paying for tax relief – particularly rescinding of the controversial business to business taxes. The taxes include warehouse and storage services, repairs of business and agricultural equipment and machines as well as purchases of telecommunications equipment by telecommunications providers.

House. “This is a top-down solution that’s going to cost a lot of money,� Woodard said. “Local school districts have the resources and expertise to handle it locally.� Dahle has concerns about the bill but generally supports the idea of doing something to enhance protection of students. He believes districts have policies that aren’t being followed. “We just want to be sure we have uniformity and good policy in place,� Dahle said. After the House passed a bill last year increasing the minimum wage to $9.50, the Senate will take up the proposal. The Senate has considered a proposal for $7.75 per hour with graduated increases. Dahle said he’d support an increase to between $8 and $8.50. “I’ve heard from businesses that that’s what they’re paying anyway,� Dahle said. “I’ve been teaching government a long time and I can’t remember the last time it was increased.� The proposal could end up in a conference committee, Woodard said. In a session where the House hopes to complete its work in early-May so its members can hit the campaign trail, Dahle isn’t expecting the DFL-controlled House and Senate will dedicate much time to other significant issues, like medical marijuana or adjustments to state laws on marriage or election reform will see much time in the spotlight, especially after voters addressed those issues in two constitutional amendments last November.

MNsure and Others Woodard and Dahle also agree on the need to address problems with MNsure, the state’s affordable insurance plan, although they disagree on the magnitude of the problem. Like Obamacare, the state program has been plagued by technology problems as prospective customers have struggled to gain information or purchase the insurance. Dahle said those issues Dear Editor, To quote the famous Russian must be overcome. Woodard described the program comedian, Yakov Smirnoff, as “a disaster.â€?

Family members and friends had a grand time as Tom and Rita Thornton celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary at the Montgomery Legion Club Saturday, February 8. Tom, son of Mike and Mary Malinski Thornton, married Rita Kaderlik in 1964. Marty Martinson and Shirley Janda stood up for them. Rita, daughter of Jack and Millie Vlasak Kaderlik of Montgomery, brought three young lads, Jeff, Tony and Tim Birdsell into the marriage with her. Tom had his work cut out for him.Then Stephanie and Thomas came along. The Thornton’s raised their family and still reside in Montgomery. John and Mary Mora Thornton are the first from Ireland, and recorded in John D. Halloran’s book. They have deep roots in this area. Tom and Rita’s future plans include St. Thomas, next to Tom’s folks, Michael (18621947) and Mary Malinski Thornton (1895-1981) who rest among among our dearly departed. Dick and Carol O’Connell were among the folks who enjoyed Verna Ziegenhagen’s 97th Birthday Celebration at the Little Dandy Supper Club near Le Center on Sunday, February 16. Happy Birthday wishes, Verna. On Sunday, Loretta O’Connell’s family gathered at her home to celebrate her 88th birthday which was Feb. 17. “Good food, great conversation, and of course a game of cards all made for a wonderful day.â€? Congrats to Max, Laurie, and the Sullivan family! On February 11, Tricia (nee Ely) and her husband Michael Baldwin of Hawley, MN became the happy parents of a baby son, Mikko Timothy

Baldwin. He is the great- grandson of Maxine Sullivan and the late George Sullivan, and the grandson of Max’s daughter Laurie. Tricia is an elementary teacher at Hawley. Her mother Laurie was raised on the farm in St Thomas. Annie Burns was home for a visit recently. She sure looks great‌and happy! Alaska must agree with her. Way to go, Milt! Minnesota’s Truck Driver of the Year’ Viewpoint was printed on Feb. 16 in  the Tribune. Milt Lowe’s safety tip “Quit speeding, texting and talking on the phone!â€? This article is now preserved behind plastic in one of this writer’s St. Thomas Books. The Le Sueur County Pioneer Power Association enjoyed its annual dinner and dance on Sunday, February 16 at the American Legion in Montgomery. The Country Gentlemen Band entertained and from the St. Thomas community Bruce and Cathy Halloran, Gary and Shirley Rutt, Jim and Mary Walker and Brian Guertin enjoyed the party.  This is National FFA week.  Thanks to all the responsible young folks who work so hard in this organization. Future St. Thomas Sportsman’s Events: Considering the conditions, we’re going to try to get out to the sledding hill on Sunday, February 23. Mass at St. Thomas and pray that Davie brings a snowmobile to get folks back to the top, lunch so folks have the energy just in case Davie doesn’t at 2 p.m. sharp! Five lanes are reserved for St. Thomas Sportsman’s families at Strike Force Bowling in New Prague, Sunday, March 9 at 1 p.m. If interested, let the board know how many will be bowling so there will be enough lanes. Between Bingo, bowling and sledding, our winter isn’t so bad after all. Have a good one, folks and take care.

Bitter Cold Prompts Liberalized Fishing on Two Area Lakes The early onset and bitter cold of winter 2013-14 have combined to make some shallow lakes susceptible to winter-kill, prompting the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to open Cynthia Lake in Spring Lake Township (Scott County), and Duck Lake in Eden prairie (Hennepin County) to liberalized fishing until sunset on Feb. 23. Winter-kill conditions are created when sunlight is unable to penetrate the ice and oxygen levels in the water drop. Fish are often unable to survive in these low-oxygen conditions. “Such lakes are opened so the public can make use of these fish, which are otherwise likely to die,� said Daryl Ellison, DNR west metro area fisheries supervisor. On a lake open to liberalized fishing, licensed resident anglers may take for personal use

wednesday, february 19, 2014

all species of fish, in any quantity and in any manner, except with the use of seines, hoopnets, fyke nets or explosives. Rough fish such as bullheads, carp, suckers and buffalo fish may be sold. If used, all gill nets must have metal tags affixed to the net stating the operator’s name and address; the tags must be attached to one end of the float line near the first float. Each tag must be a minimum of 2 1/2 inches long by five-eighths inch wide. Anglers are reminded that they must obey all laws regarding trespassing on private property, and that it is against the law to discard fish on shore or on the ice. For the latest information on lakes that are open to liberalized fishing and for detailed information about those lakes, go to the DNR website atwww.dnr. state.mn.us/fishing/liberalized.

Ron Solheid received a certificate of Appreciation for his 17 years on the board as treasurer. Also Lanny Holzer received a certificate for 22 years as Director. Many prizes were awarded and a wonderful dinner was served by Marian Entinger and her kitchen crew. Great music was played by the Charlie Sticha Band before and after the meeting. Would have been wonderful for dancing! Katelyn Zurn came home on a surprise visit to spend the weekend. It was a wonderful Valentine’s Day surprise. Nicholas Zurn, a sophmore at St. John’s University and a member of the St. John’s track and field team, won first place in the 400 meter race at a meet held at St John’s. He had a personal best with the time of 52.27 seconds. He won by .02 seconds over the field of runners in his race. Congratulations to Nicholas. The 5th annual Former K-Mart family and friends Camping group ‘Winter Camp’ was held over the weekend at the Prime Rate Hotel in Burnsville. The group of nearly 25 enjoyed a potluck supper, dice games, swimming and reminiscing about warmer camping days. Spring can’t come soon enough for the group to get their campers out of storage and enjoy warmer weather. Humor Corner: Sven was stopped by the Highway Patrol for speeding. “Show me your license and tell me your insurance company,� the trooper asked. Sven just sat there not saying a word. Again the trooper asked “Show me your license and what is your insurance company.� Again no reply. “If you don’t answer me and cooperate I will have to arrest you,� the officer said. Again only silence. The officer pulled Sven out of the car, told him, “You are under arrest and you have the right to remain silent!�

Plant Science Class Leading to Tasty Lessons During FFA Week (continued from page 1) teaching her lessons she’ll use when she’s older. “I’ve never grown anything and when I’m older, I want to have a garden,� she said. It’s the kind of learning that has kept both science and agriculture growing and relevant to students in Belle Plaine. “This is a lot better because we’re not just sitting at a desk listening to a lecture,� said Emily Krecklau, a senior in the class. This week is National FFA Week (Feb. 15-22). It’s recognition of the contributions the Future Farmers of America organization makes to communities of all sizes. There are 48 students in Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School involved in FFA. The program has changed in a variety of ways over the years. FFA now has over 30 competitions ranging from livestock and dairy judging to food science and agriculture communications, Mathiowetz said. FFA now includes students from seventh grade through college students focused not only in production agriculture, but also, ag. engineering, food science and the culinary arts, veterinary science, horticulture, manufacturing and communications, he said. “FFA and agriculture education are meeting the interests of today’s student and the needs of today’s business and industry,� Mathiowetz said. “The FFA and agricultural education curriculum continually adapt and change. These changes include a rapidly growing population that will need the food, fiber and fuel that only the agricul-

ture industry can provide. FFA and agriculture education has changed and will continue to change to serve all stakeholders, Mathiowetz said. The world will need “the best and the brightest to meet the challenge of feeding, clothing and providing clothing for 9 billion people.� That means society will need students interested in apprenticeships, two-year technical schools and community colleges, four-year college programs as well as advanced degree options.

About FFA

The National FFA Organization is an American youth organization known as a Career and Technical Student Organization, based on middle and high school classes that promote and support agricultural education. The organization was founded in 1928 as Future Farmers of America, but in 1988 the name was changed to the National FFA Organization, now commonly referred to as simply FFA, to recognize that the organization is for those with diverse interests in the food, fiber and natural resource industries; encompassing science, business and technology in addition to production agriculture. Today FFA is one of the largest youth organizations in the United States with over 550,000 members in almost 7,500 chapters throughout all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. FFA is the largest of the career and technical student organizations in U.S. schools. National FFA Week is sponsored by Tractor Supply Company as a special project of the National FFA Foundation and annually encompasses Feb. 22, George Washington’s birthday.

Superintendent’s Update

By Dr. Kelly Smith

How fitting it was that on the start of the “Snow Week” celebration at the high school that we should have a snow storm that cancelled the first day of school to begin the week. The day of school that was cancelled was also a make-up day from a previous closure due to cold! This has been a winter that will be remembered for quite some time with our long stretches of extremely cold weather and our plentiful snow to keep things interesting. Any decisions as to the make-up day for this cancelled make-up day will be made after the winter season concludes – hopefully that will happen by mid-May! I want to thank our teaching staff for the great work that they have been doing working with a consultant to review and refine the responsibilities of each grade level/subject area with regard to the state required standards that we are teaching in that grade level or subject area. This is hard work and yet our teachers have met it head on with a determination to get this right and improve instruction so that all students may succeed! Work on the standards has been a focus at all of our buildings this year and will continue as we better align our instruction to the standards. This clearer alignment will help us ensure that all students receive the necessary instruction on standards that will be evaluated on statewide assessments. Principals and teachers - Thank you for your hard work in this area! It was a great weekend for our Tiger and Panther activities as two teams competed in state competition and another qualified for state competition. Our One Act Play cast performed in the State One Act Festival at St Catherine’s O’Shaughnessy Auditorium on Friday afternoon and once again put on a stellar performance. When the judging was complete, the Belle Plaine cast was one of three starred performances in Class A at the festival. This marks that 7th year out of 8 that the Tigers have achieved a star rating at the State Festival! Thank you for all your hard work and congratulations on a great conclusion to your season! On Saturday, our Explosion Dance Team performed in the high kick competition with 12 other teams in Class 2A. Although the team did not reach the final competition of the top 6 teams, their season concluded with a highlight of dancing a great routine on the Target Center floor to many cheering fans. This year’s state tournament appearance is just the second time in school history that our dance team has reached the state tournament. Congratulations on a great season girls and thanks for all of your hard work! After a year’s absence from the state wrestling tournament, the Scott West Panthers will return as they defeated Hutchinson on Saturday afternoon for the Section title by a 36-22 score. The Panthers will compete at the State Tournament at the Xcel Center on February 27th –March 1st. They will find out who their first opponent will be after seeding takes place this week. Legal Notices This Friday and Saturday is individual wrestling competition at Mankato West High School as our individual wrestlers compete for a chance to advance to the individual state tournament. Good luck Panthers! As always, if you have any questions about school matters, please feel free to call me at 873-2400, contact me via email at ksmith@ belleplaine.k12.mn.us, via Twitter @BPTiger716 or check our website at www.belleplaine.k12.mn.us.

Green Isle Looking to Update its Zoning Regulations, Map If a Green Isle resident wanted to operate an auto body shop out of a residential garage at a house in one of the town’s neighborhoods, could the city council and neighbors prevent it? Maybe. While city ordinance might address elements of the proposal, the existing zoning code might not. To make sure neighbors won’t have to deal with the traffic, potential noises and odors associated with such an operation, the city council is taking a look at its zoning codes. The council, along with Cynthia Smith-Strack of Municipal Development Group in New Prague, is working on updating its zoning codes and maps. She went over facets in some of the chapters of the existing code, some of which dates back to the mid-1970s, with the council at its Feb. 11 meeting. The city’s existing zoning codes are partially inconsistent with state law. Occasional minor adjustments have been made but a comprehensive update has not occurred since then, Smith-Strack said after the meeting. There are several areas where existing standards are not consistent with state law. “There are legal reason why we need to at least do some changes,” said City Attorney Ross Arneson. Mayor Dale ZumBerge said the review and updates are important to keep development, when it eventually returns, on course and to make sure uses in zoning districts remain in concert with existing uses. The city may not have the kind of zoning regulations in place that cover home-based businesses. “Home occupations when they achieve success can grow and negatively impact neighbors

through increased traffic volume, outdoor storage, commercial traffic etc.,” Smith-Strack said. “This can become a problematic situation to resolve.” Green Isle apparently has no rules prohibiting home day cares or a small-engine repair and the parking issues that could accompany them. The city needs to address the zoning code to avoid a development issue it can’t manage, like the material a building is constructed of or the size of an accessory building in a residential area, ZumBerge said. “Most people want the biggest shed possible on their lot, but it may not be in harmony with the residential character of the neighborhood. As such neighbors may not appreciate a shed that is larger than the dwelling to which it is accessory,” Smith-Strack said. Councilors were concerned with the requirements addressing ancillary structures and the setback requirements in residential areas. But they also want to avoid enacting any rules that would prohibit commercial development. The council also discussed possible regulations of properties where unused vehicles are parked for what some may feel is an excessive amount of time. ZumBerge raised concerns with a situation where a property owner has left vehicles parked for years. Arneson said zoning regulations are balanced against property the rights of individual property owners. New ordinances and variances may require a public hearing and publishing of the consideration of the new regulations. The council also needs to update Green Isle’s official zoning map. The existing zoning ordinance has two commercial districts --

AT MY E R T WATER The Minnesota

one along Highway 25 and the other along Highway 5, SmithStrack said. The map does not include the district along Highway 5. Each district has different regulations. The city will hold a public hearing on the proposed changes at its March 11 meeting. In other action at the Feb. 11 meeting, the Green Isle City Council: • Paid bills totaling $10,872.21. • Tabled action on a quote from Paul Vos on replacing windows at the community school. • Approved the city’s industrial park be used Sept. 13 to host the annual Engelmann Memorial Tractor Pull. • Received information on cityissued building permits between Jan. 1 and Feb. 11,2014. • Received an update on the closing of the sale of the 43 vacant lots the city is selling to Bill Feldman and Norm Beckman. The formal closing will be conducted by exchanging documents through the mail. • Indicated a quorum of the council will be at a meeting to receive information on the latest version of the Renville-Sibley fiber optics line project. It will be held Thursday, Feb. 20, 6 p.m., at United Farmers Coop in Winthrop. The meeting will be held as a workshop so that the majority of members of town boards and city councils in the area can attend without potentially violating the state’s open meeting law.

‘The Drowsy Professor’ Earns A Grand Star to Sleep Under (continued from page 1)

Representing Section 2A, Belle Plaine’s starred performance of the comedy “The Drowsy Professor” by B. Dwayne Craft was one of three Class 1A schools to earn the highest honor achievable. “We had a great finish to a very successful one-act play season,” said Tony Hartmann, who with Peter Jacobson co-directed the play. “Belle Plaine High School is filled with talented, hardworking and dedicated students who are willing to put the extra time into making their performances exceptional. “We would like to thank the Belle Plaine schools, the administration and teachers, the community, parents and the many individuals who helped make our season memorable,” Hartmann continued. “A special thanks goes out to Dave Edberg for building the set, and the Marty Preusser family for their donation to the one-act program.” The other two 2014 starred performance ratings in Class 1A were earned by Nova Classical Academy of St. Paul with its performance of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll Gilman, and Park Rapids Area’s performance of “FREAK” by Angela Hill. Belle Plaine was making its 12th appearance at state and

memorial

In Loving Memory of Brad Krick who passed away 5 years ago Feb. 17, 2009. A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone would have saved you, You would of never died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever fill. A light from our household is gone, A voice from our love is stilled, A place in our vacant home, Which never can be filled. Some may think you are forgotten, Though on earth you are no more, But in our memory you are with us, As you always were before. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Your precious memories are for keepsakes, with which we never part, God has you safely in his keeping, But we have you forever in our hearts

MRC Standings

Medal Winners The Belle Plaine fifth-grade girls’ traveling basketball team recently competed in tournaments hosted by St. Peter and Watertown. The Tigers finished second at the St. Peter tournament and won the consolation bracket at the Watertown tournament. Pictured in the front row, from left, are Hayley O’Brien, Rebecca Brueggemeier, Arabella Koepp, Brynne Meyer and Lauren Johnson. In the back row are coach Terry Schmidt, Cecelia Giesen, Hanna Tharaldson, Sarah Lenz, Elizabeth Schmidt, Brooke McGlinchey and coach Dan Giesen.

Wrestling (continued from page 15) West lost to the W-M, while Hutchinson lost to section champion New Prague. This year was different as Scott West and Hutchinson both won their semifinal matches – Scott West 46-18 over Waconia and Hutchinson 29-26 over New Prague. In the championship, Scott West eighth-grade 106-pounder Jackson Stauffacher went right to work as he built a dominating 7-0 lead over Hutchinson’s #10-rated Brock Luthens. The young Panther wasn’t finished, though, as he had been riding the Tiger wrestler hard with a combination of halves and bar arms, and after scoring his third take down of the match, Stauffacher powered Luthens to his back and the ensuing pin fall call at 4:40 of the third period. With the fire lit, Scott West would build an early 18-0 lead as it swept the first four weight classes. After the Stauffacher pin, sophomore Ben Kelvington lost the opening take down to Dylan Pundsack. However, after scoring a reversal to tie the match at 2-2 going into the second period, Kelvington controlled the rest of the match by using three take downs of his own to win a 10-6 decision at 113 pounds. Scott West sophomore 120pounder Ryan Siegle scored a quick take down of Hutchinson’s Jayden Mackedanz and then he proceeded to put a hard ride on the Tiger wrestler for a 2-0 first-period lead. In the second period, Siegle scrambled his way to a reversal that gave him a 4-1 lead going into the third period. Late in the third period, Siegle found himself in some trouble as Pundsack moved him high in his ride, and as the Tiger wrestler reversed him, it appeared that he may take Siegle to his back for what could have been a matchwinning move. But the Siegle somehow found a way to fight it off by doing a virtual head stand as he rolled his way out of the grasp of danger and scored a 6-3 match-securing reversal. David Flynn delivered another big win for Scott West at 126 pounds. The junior and #1-rat-

ed Flynn went right to work in a key match of the meet against returning state-qualifier Riley Drew. Flynn scored a secondperiod reversal to take a 4-0 lead and then buried Drew with a powerful half-nelson and the ensuing pin fall call at 3:22 of the second period. The Flynn pin gave Scott West an 18-0 cushion in the meet. Jacob Backlund, who had notched his 50th career win with a first-period pin of Spencer Neu during the Waconia meet, ran into trouble during the first period against Hutchinson’s Tryston Kostelecky, falling behind 6-0. However, Backlund made a comeback as he scored a take down in each of the final two periods and kept the pressure on his opponent until the final buzzer in a 7-5 loss at 132 pounds. With Hutchinson on the board for the first time in the meet at 18-3, Scott West sent senior and #1-rated Zach Siegle to the mat and he promptly delivered a first-period pin of Jeffery Thorson at 138 pounds. “I am very happy for Zach Siegle in that he has helped bring the Scott West team back to the state tournament,” states Ripley. “He has been a great captain and great leader for this team and he deserved to have this team back in the state tournament.” Although Scott West had the lead at 24-3, there was still no time to breathe easy as Hutchinson is noted to have a bevy of tough upper weights that are capable of putting up big points on the scoreboard. A Scott West wrestler who may have deserved a better fate in this meet was 145-pounder Shane Abraham as he dropped a hardfought 3-2 overtime match to Luke Pundsack. Hutchinson then picked up its first backto-back wins of the meet as #7-rated Chris Schmidt scored a 13-1 major decision over Jack Storlie at 152 pounds. With the score 24-10, the Panthers rebounded with a pair of back-to-back wins at 160 and 170. Panther junior and #1-rated Andrew Fogarty delivered a 16-0 technical fall over Tiat

ger freshman Josh Filk, while #2-rated Derek Dahlke followed with an 11-2 major decision over Gregor Fraser. With Scott West’s lead now at 33-10, it punched its state team ticket on Ray Carter as he did battle with #7-rated Gannon Jordahl at 182 pounds. Although he lost the match in overtime, Carter, a senior, won the hearts of the overwhelming Scott West crowd as they cheered their wrestler on from the stands. Carter did not disappoint as he scored a slick opening take down to take a 2-1 first-period lead and that’s the way the score of the match would remain heading into the third period, where Jordahl was able to pick up a stalling point to send the match to overtime at 2-2 and secure the winning take down in overtime. But with only three team points added to the Hutchinson score, the Panthers now had an insurmountable 33-13 lead going into the final three weight classes. “I really can’t say enough good things about Ray Carter right now,” states Ripley. “He showed up here three years ago with a limited wrestling background and we talked him into coming out for wrestling.” Scott West senior 195-pounder Jake Schultz drew a tough assignment as he took on #5-rated Paxton Jordahl. Schultz did not make it easy for Jordahl as he fought him to a 2-1 deficit after the first period. With Jordahl ahead 7-1 in the third period, Schultz scored a reversal and the hard-fought match came to an end with an 8-3 decision for the Hutchinson wrestler. After Panther Tyler Grieves was pinned in the first period by #3-rated Jake Filk at 220 pounds, the section championship meet came down to one more battle and Scott West heavyweight Josiah Schatz fought his way to a 3-1 win over Hutchinson’s #2-rated Jacob VanderHeiden. With the state team berth in hand, Scott West will be looking to qualify individuals for the state individual tournament as it will travel to Mankato West this Friday and Saturday for the Section 2AA Individual Championships. “It’s a deep section,” states Ripley. “There will not be any free passes, so we have to go back to work and get ready to wrestle.” Friday’s action will start at 5 p.m. and resume 11 a.m. Saturday. The top two place-winners at each weight class will qualify for the Minnesota State Class 2A Individual Tournament.

round match ups will be posted at www.belleplaineherald.com or the Herald’s Facebook page when they become available this week. Tigers 65, Jordan 48 Belle Plaine, which scored the first 11 points of the game, trailed 43-42 midway through the second half but then outscored MRC rival Jordan 23-5 the rest of the way for a 65-48 victory. “This game proved that basketball is a game of runs,” said Belle Plaine coach John Wellner. “We made the first run, then Jordan made the second. We made a run to start the second half and then Jordan came back. We were fortunate in making the last run to close out the game. It was a great game and a great atmosphere for high school basketball. You really have to hand it to the players. They didn’t let Jordan’s runs affect them and kept doing what gave us the lead in the first place. The biggest factor of the game had to be our defense. We were consistently talking and communicating and that led us to hold them to few points.” Aaron Bigaouette, who left the game late with a sprained ankle, led the Tigers with 21 points. Cameron Lark added 17, followed by Sam Karl (8), Gavin Dauwalter (8) Luke Narveson (6) and Ricky Fogarty (5). Bigaouette, who missed Belle Plaine’s next two games, is expected to return to action this week. NYA 64, Tigers 58 The Tigers let a 16-point lead at halftime slip away as the host Raiders tallied 44 points in the second half for a six-point vic-

tory. “This game was also a game of runs, unfortunately, we couldn’t match the last run that NYA put on,” Wellner said. “We had a big lead at halftime, which is always dangerous because complacency can set in. In the second half, they started making shots that they were missing in the first half and our defense lacked intensity and allowed them back in the game. The disappointing thing is that we stopped driving and passing the ball inside, which worked really well for us in the first half. We shot too many perimeter shots in the second half and that made a big difference.” Karl and Lark led Belle Plaine with 14 points apiece, followed by Narveson with 12. Rounding out the scoring for the Tigers were Fogarty (8), Dauwalter (6), Mitch Nelson (2) and Mitchel Stier (2). Tigers 81, New Ulm 70 Visiting New Ulm, a 20-loss team this season, made Belle Plaine work for the nonconference victory Friday night. “This was an up and down game, but we made enough plays to win it down the stretch,” Wellner said. “The difference was our inside game. Sam Karl and Gavin Dauwalter simply dominated their posts. We still have to work on our defense as we lost many cutters and gave up too many shots. That is something we will need to improve on before the playoffs start.” Karl tossed in 23 points and Dauwalter had 20. Lark and Narveson chipped in 15 and 14, respectively, while Fogarty had six and Stier two.

H.S. Wrestling

Panthers Mow Down Section After beating Delano 64-13 in the Section 2AA Team Tournament quarterfinals Thursday night in Jordan, the Scott West wrestling team arrived at Glencoe-Silver Lake High School Saturday and posted a couple of convincing wins – a 46-18 semifinal victory over Waconia

and a 36-22 championship triumph over Hutchinson. “Our section team performance last year did not sit real well with us,” states Scott West coach Darren Ripley. “This year’s team has worked hard all year to show that Scott West wrestling is still alive, and we

are certainly proud of the way that they wrestled tonight.” Saturday night’s section team championship final was a match between two teams who had both lost in the semifinals a year ago in Watertown. Scott

H.S. Girls’ Basketball

Belle Plaine Loses Three More by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team dropped four games in seven days as the latest losing streak in what’s been a long 2013-14 campaign for the Tigers has kicked in. After Belle Plaine’s 75-31 loss at Class 2A No. 2-ranked Kenyon-Wanamingo last Monday (Feb. 10), the Tigers dropped a trio of Minnesota River Conference games, starting with Jordan at home last Tuesday (74-46), at Tri-City United on Friday (63-52) and at home to Watertown-Mayer (68-41) this past Monday night. Belle Plaine, 1-11 in the MRC, 2-21 overall, will close the regular season with a pair of conference games this week – at Norwood Young America Thursday and at home against still winless Le Sueur-Henderson on Friday. Both games are scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. The Section 2AA Tournament is scheduled to begin March 3 at the homes of the higher seeds, meaning Belle Plaine will most likely be making travel plans. Brackets will be announced soon. Jordan 74, Tigers 46 First-place Jordan scored the first 11 points in both the first half and second half and rolled to a 74-46 victory over Belle Plaine last Tuesday night at the BPHS gym. “They took it to us right away,” said Tigers coach Randy Carlson. “They play at a quicker pace and once we adjusted, we did okay. I thought we did a much better job against their pressure defense. We attacked it and made some good decisions. The problem for us was our shots would not fall.” Carlson said the Jaguars’ Madison Dean was another big problem for the Tigers as she poured in a game-high 35 points. “She is a special, special player. We did a very good job on her defensively and she still totally controlled the game. She’s phenomenal. “We played hard and improved again this week – that is all we can ask for,” Carlson continued. “Amara Meyer gave us a spark in the second half and Mariena Hayden played well, especially in the second half. Also, Elizabeth Johnson continued her excellent play at the point guard position.” Hayden finished with 18 points and Meyer added 11. They also led the team in rebounds with 12 and eight, respectively. Rounding out the scoring for Belle Plaine were Johnson (9), Torie Kellogg (6) and Megan Schmitz (2). TCU 63, Tigers 52 The Tigers had a 35-34 lead with about 10 minutes left to play before the home-team Titans rallied for an 11-point win. “We played very well tonight,” Carlson said. “We just could not make a basket when we needed it. Amara Meyer played an amazing game for us and scored from all over the floor. She is one of the most improved players I have coached. Defensively, we were okay and we rebounded well. We just need to get some consistent scoring from the perimeter. Until that happens, it will be tough for us to win.” Meyer tossed in a game-high 28 points, followed by Hayden

(9), Ireland Lambrecht (8), Johnson (3), Kellogg (2), Erica Selly (1) and Schmitz (1).

On Friday, the Tigers defeated New Ulm 81-70 in a nonconference game in Belle Plaine. Belle Plaine, 7-5 in the MRC, 14-7 overall, was scheduled to host Le Sueur-Henderson Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press. The regular season finale is set for 7:30 p.m. this Thursday at home against Tri-City United. Mayer Lutheran has already clinched sole possession of the 2014 conference crown. Section 2AA play is scheduled to begin next Tuesday at the home of the higher seed. First-
