Wolf, Wagner Retain Scott County Board Leadership Posts At its annual organizational meeting last Tuesday (Jan. 7), the Scott County Board reappointed Commissioner Tom Wolf of Credit River Township as board chairman for 2014 and Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township as vice chairman.

Wolf has served as board chairman, Wagner the vice chairman, since 2011. They are respectively paid $1,800 and $900 for their additional leadership responsibilities, on top of their $50,860 annual salaries.

Belle Plaine’s Orville Heitkamp and his grandson, Drew Keup, regularly feed birds out at Ney Environmental Learning Center along Highway 19 just east of Henderson.

Taking Care of the Birds

Heitkamp and His Wing Man Make Sure the Birds are Well Fed

There’s no reason for Orville Heitkamp to make the trek to the Ney Environmental Learning Center every few days other than a feeling that it’s the right thing to do, especially in the winter when the weather is cold and the need for food is increased.

But the 20-mile round trip trek Heitkamp has made every four days for several years – three when it’s really cold -- isn’t just about feeding the birds. It’s about instilling a value and cementing a tradition. For the past three or four years, his grandson, Drew Keup, has accompanied Heitkamp. He also uses the time with his grandfather to soak up as much knowledge

and insight as a teenager possibly can.

“I like to spend time with grandpa,” the 16-year-old said.

“He has a lot of wisdom and answers to things.”

The two bring black oil sunflower seeds, Niger thistle and peanut butter – creamy or chunky will do – for the halfdozen feeders just outside the main office and conference room building at the Ney Center. Their visit is gladly welcomed by cardinals, blue jays, juncos, nut hatches, chickadees, a variety of woodpeckers, sparrows, gold and purple finches and other birds that have stayed here through the winter.

Heitkamp buys the seed him-

self. He substituted peanut butter when he found demand for suet was growing and the price jumped.

“The butchers figured out the demand for suet was going up.

They used to use lard but nobody uses that anymore,” he said.

Common Sense

Heitkamp adapted the black oil sunflower feeder for the weather. He mounted the feeder on a rotating platform and added pieces of metal to it so when the wind blows during rainfall, the feeder turns away from the

In other area county organizational business, the Carver County Board named commissioners Gayle Degler of Chanhassen as county board chairman and Randy Maluchnik of Chaska the vice chairman. They will be paid $615 for the duties as chairman, $540 as vice chair.

The other Carver County commissioners receive an additional $515 to cover their expenses.

In Le Sueur County, commissioners reappointed Commissioner Steve Rohlfing of Madison Lake as the board chairman

and Commissioner Joe Connelly of Sharon Township as vice chairman.

In Sibley County, commissioners Joy Cohrs of New Auburn Township and Jim Nytes of Henderson Township were named the county board’s chairperson and vice chairperson. Commissioners in Le Sueur and Sibley counties are not paid additional sums for serving as chairperson and vice chairman of their respective county boards

Belle Plaine Passed by for Trail Dollars

by Dan Ruud Belle Plaine will not be among the beneficiaries of a combined $366,000 in trail/sidewalk improvement grants that the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) is awarding to various communities in Scott County. The tribe announced its picks last week.

In October, the SMSC invited local governments and charitable organizations in Scott County to apply for grants to fund local projects that would fill trail gaps, augment existing trail systems, improve access to existing public natural areas, or provide additional environmental benefit beyond simple access. Each grant recipient

will be required to fulfill a 20 percent match. Grant recipients are also encouraged to involve local volunteers in the project.

According to Belle Plaine Community Development Director Chelsea Alger, the city applied for $70,000 that would have been used to help fill trail/ sidewalk gaps at three locations in the community. Included were: – Raven Street between Market and Meridian streets.

– Heritage Park trail connection.

– Eagle Street sidewalk connection (adjacent to Trinity Lutheran School) between State and Main streets.

“Due to the nature of the improvements, it is difficult to solicit the assistance of volunteers for the work to be performed,” stated the city’s application.

“Recognizing difficulty in meeting this goal of the application, the city has identified a 40 percent cash match (double that required) to the project cost.”

That offer was not enough to prevent the city from receiving a rejection letter.

“We received a number of excellent applications, and we appreciate the enthusiasm expressed by local governments

New Edward Jones Rep. Comfortable in Belle Plaine

Nobody would have blamed Jenna Boulton if she might have momentarily second-guessed her new assignment as a financial advisor at Edward Jones in Belle Plaine. She arrived last month from Tempe, Ariz. via Sartell, Minn., during a nasty cold snap.

From the desert to the rolling hills of Belle Plaine, Boulton is happy to be back home.

Boulton grew up in southwest Minnesota. She’s more than comfortable in Belle Plaine and already has enjoyed meeting people and getting to know existing Edward Jones clients and other community members. As a true Minnesotan, she’s happy to be back in the state, even if the weather in southern Arizona is a bit easier to take.

“It was quite a transition,” Boulton said.

Boulton is at ease in here because of her background. She grew up on the family farm in Porter, Minn. and graduated from Minneota High School.

She was a longtime member of 4-H and enjoyed showing cattle and participating in 4-H programs. “I know all about picking rocks and bailing hay,” she said.

‘19 to 169’

She and her family knew of Belle Plaine growing up. It was one of many towns they drove through – “Highway 19 to 169,” she said -- and visited in during trips to the Twin Cities.

One of four girls who played volleyball in school, Boulton was an all-state volleyball player and has played around the country in Junior Olympics volleyball. She also played high

said, is focusing on what you want to achieve.

Boulton’s background and the lessons she learned in a small town – hard work and making sure the job is done -- has helped her relate well and understand clients’ personal goals.

She hopes to meet many Belle Plaine and area residents at an open house Edward Jones is hosting Jan. 23 at its office at the intersection of Main and Meridian streets in downtown Belle Plaine.

Jenna Boulton school basketball and looks forward to seeing the Belle Plaine Tigers play a home game soon.

She enjoys the opportunity to sit down and establish relationships, talk volleyball, ice fishing, agri-business or what’s happening in the community.

Boulton also enjoys hiking, biking, horseback riding and camping. With a big family that includes several nieces and and nephews, she likes to cook and recently impressed her roommates with her homemade chicken wild rice soup.

“They loved it,” she said.

Boulton graduated from the University of North Dakota with a degree in finance. She has used her education when working in small businesses, whether it was helping a relative in northern Minnesota establish a truck repair shop or working at her family’s business, Country Estate Fencing and Boulton Trailer Sales. The key to success in business, she

Belle Plaine Cub Scouts, Webelos and Girl Scouts competed jointly in a pinewood derby Saturday at Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School. Winners were recognized in the various age groups.

B.P. Scouts Take Different Paths to Fastest Pinewood Derby Racers The owner and designer of the fastest pinewood derby racer Saturday wasn’t even on hand to see her car race. The other top entrant took a less-is-better approach.

Saturday at Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School’s North Gym, several dozen Belle Plaine youth in Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Webelos programs competed in the annual Pinewood Derby races. Hannah Tharaldson’s car turned in the fastest time (2.308 seconds) for the Girl Scouts. Teddy Sellnow’s car was the fastest among the boys (2.325 seconds).

The times were the fastest of the four runs each car made down the track. Cars we re also recognized for their creativity of design.

For Tharaldson, she opted for her team’s traveling team basketball tournament in Farmington over the Pinewood Derby

event. She let her dad, Leif, take care of the car at the derby since her little brother, Niklas, was there racing with other Cub Scouts.

“I really wanted to see my car race, but I really wanted to play, too,” she said. “My mom said I probably wouldn’t be a winner this year.”

The first place finish and time were a bit of a surprise. The block of pine in the kit the father-daughter tandem used to create her racer was imperfect.

One of the slots for the axles was not evenly cut. Leif used a handsaw to try and even it out.

“We didn’t think it was going to be that fast,” Hannah said.

As a master plumber, he’s used to working with his hands and using tools for adjustments.

Hannah, a fifth-grader at Oak Crest Elementary School, designed the car and her dad cut it. She handled the sanding and

helped him paint it – black with copper color on the top part of the car. He handled the application of graphite, grinding it into wheels and axles.

“It’s a pretty nasty process,” he said. As a former Boy Scout and Pinewood Derby racer himself, Leif knows his way around the car. “It’s always a fun time.”

With dad on hand, Leif handled any needed last-minute adjustment. He sent his daughter a text message indicating the car was fast but not how fast.

Hannah only saw the message between games at the tournament.

When Hannah and Niklas’ cars were both done, there was a small matter of competition between siblings to address.

The two cars raced against each

Dance, Dance A group of Belle Plaine dancers enrolled in Just for Kix dance school’s wee petites 2 class performed to “Something that I Want” during the school’s winter show Saturday night at Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School. The show featured dancers in 23 different groups performing before a near-capacity crowd.

Mary Erickson of the Arts Consortium of Carver County and Naomi Russell, project coordinator for the Barn Quilts project, accept the $500 Touchstone Energy Community Award from Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative. Mary is holding a smaller scale version of the wooden quilt squares that have been installed on barns throughout Carver County. The quilt block Erickson is holding now belongs to MVEC.

Area Barn Quilts Project Wins $500 Community Award The Barn Quilts of Carver County is the recipient of Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative’s 2013 Touchstone Energy Community Award.

The barn quilts project is a community-based artistic venture, which gives volunteers of all ages throughout Carver County the opportunity to experience quilting in an entirely new and creative way – by researching, designing, painting large wooden quilt squares, painting them on wooden squares and displaying them on barns throughout the county.

Brian and Suzanne Honebrink display a quilt on their barn just off Carver County Road 53 north of Belle Plaine.

The finished product provides an open-air gallery of folk art for visitors throughout Carver County’s countryside.

“On behalf of the entire barn quilt family, we are thrilled to represent the organization and their commitment to the arts and the communities they serve,” said Mary Erickson of the Arts Consortium of Carver County.

The Barn Quilts of Carver County project is now in competition for a $1,000 award at the state level. That prize will be announced at the Minnesota Rural Electric Association’s annual meeting in March.

The large, 8 foot by 8 foot wooden quilt squares are displayed on 24 barns all throughout Carver County.

Pet Adoption Jan. 18

Fourth Grade Retreat Jean Culp of Youth Frontiers led a discussion with approximately 125 fourth-graders from Oak Crest Elementary School who attended the annual fourth grade retreat last Wednesday (Jan. 8) at St. John Lutheran Church. Culp, the retreat director, Sebastian Davin, a retreat musician, and high school students worked with fourth-graders on understanding why and how to make kind choices, enhance empathy skills, understand how words and actions effect others, and acquire conflict-resolution skills to deal with bullying.

Volunteers for the CarverScott Humane Society will hold a pet adoption on Saturday, Jan. 18 from noon to 3 p.m. It will be hosted at PETCO in Eden Prairie, which is located off Highway 212 and Single Tree Lane.

CSHS is without its own building and all pets are housed in foster care.

Ridgeview Medical Center Takes Control of Sibley Medical Center

Kingsway to Host Exploitation Awareness Event Thursday Kingsway Retirement Living will host a Communities Against Senior Exploitation event on Thursday, Jan. 16 at 6:30 p.m. for community members, community leaders and businesses.

The event will provide awareness, education and support to those dealing with exploitation.

Scott County Judge Michael A. Fahey will present at 6:30 p.m.

Millions of Americans are victims of fraud each year. Many of those who fall prey to this crime are elderly; however, it is difficult to estimate the prevalence of elderly fraud because

cases are underreported and the definition of “elderly” varies from state to state. Even though national statistics on elder fraud do not exist, studies have shown it is a problem in this country. This crime can have a significant impact on its victims because they are incapable of recovering financial losses and/or many are too old or frail to reenter the workforce. The emotional impact of elder fraud can be traumatic as well.

There is no cost to attend this event and no preregistration is required. Kingsway Retirement Living is located at 815 West Main Street in Belle Plaine.

Contestants Sought for Miss Czech Slovak MN Pageant Young women between the ages of 16 and 26 can apply to compete in the 25th annual Miss Czech Slovak Minnesota Pageant on Saturday, April 12 in Montgomery.

Contestants must be of partial to full Czech, Slovak or Moravian descent. Contestants have the opportunity to receive over $1,000 in cash and prizes, and a chance to compete at the na-

tional pageant. The application deadline is March 1.

For more information, visit www.missczechslovakmnpageant.org.

The reigning Miss Czech Slovak Minnesota Queen is Brittany Smisek of Lonsdale. The princess is Corbin Jerde of Golden Valley and Miss Congeniality is Krissy Kocina of New Prague.

SCHS Gets $26,000 Grant The Scott County Historical Society (SCHS) announced that it has been awarded a Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage (Legacy) Grant in the amount of $26,000 to support its Stans Collection Catalogue project.

These grants are awarded to support projects of enduring value for the cause of history and historic preservation across the state.

Stans Collection Catalogue Project The Scott County Historical Society spends a great deal of time and effort cataloguing its collection and keeping complete registration files as part of its mission to search, save and share the history and cultural heritage of Scott County.

The Society also strives to be in line, as much as possible, with collections care best practices by maintaining physical and intellectual control over its collection. The current state of the

Stans Collection makes it largely unusable. On the surface it is plain to see that the Stans Collection consists of objects of local, state, national and international significance.

Once it begins to know what objects make up the collection, the Society foresees enhanced exhibits, making photos available on the SCHS website and the MN Digital Library, and using items in the SCHS “Collections in the Classroom” education programs.

Project goals include physically numbering items in a manner consistent with museum best practices, adding images to the searchable database PastPerfect currently employed by the SCHS, and developing registration files for the collection that include the original documents concerning its legal transfer to the SCHS, and a full listing of the objects donated.

The project will begin in spring 2014 with completion in 2015.

If you remember back to this column at Thanksgiving, I remarked how model trains and Christmas seemed to go together. If you watched some of the classic Christmas movies, I am sure that you saw what I meant. I had this internet link come to me by way of a relayed e-mail from a reader in Prior Lake. If you have any interest in model trains or the efforts of creative people, you need to visit this URL: https://www.youtube.com/embed/ACkmg3Y64_s?rel=0 It is amazing to see on video. I cannot imagine seeing it in real life. If you do not have internet access, let us know and we will help you see this video at one of our internet stations.

We are running our increasingly popular winter reading program geared for adults again this year. It is called “Winter Jackets: Winter Reading for Adults”. It started January 2 and runs through the end of February. If you are interested, we can accommodate you and get you into the group. Visit the library or www.scott.lib.mn.us for more details. It is good fun and has been well received in previous years. This is the year that you should join in.

There will be no Storytime this Friday, January18.

January 18 is Pooh Day. It would have been great fun to do a Winnie The Pooh Storytime, but we weren’t able to put it together in time. Alan Alexander Milne, better known as A. A. Milne, was born on January 18, 1882. He was the author of the Winnie the Pooh stories.These were popular long before the Disney company started handling the franchise in 1961.The original four A. A. Milne stories were “Winnie the Pooh” (1926) and “The House at Pooh Corner” (1928), “When We Were Very Young” (1924), and “Now We Are Six” (1927) with all four books illustrated by E. H. Shepard.

A.A. Milne passed away in 1982. The Winnie the Pooh intellectual properties passed through the hands of a number of owners that wrote sequels and took the story to film. Winnie the Pooh did not get his familiar red shirt until the early 1930s, well after Milne’s death. I would encourage you to pick up a book and share the stories of the bear known as Edward Bear, Winnie the Pooh, Pooh Bear or simply Pooh. It will be more rewarding than parking your young readers in front of a DVD. You will enjoy the story and the time spent.

This week January 16-18, The Belle Plaine Friends of the Library will be having the Winter Used Book Sale. Thursday, Friday and Saturday during library hours. A free will donation will be accepted for the books you choose.

Library Hours: Saturday: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Wednesday 1-8 p.m.

Ridgeview Medical Center took control of Sibley Medical Center (SMC) and its four primary care clinics effective Jan. 1.

The transfer from the City of Arlington to Ridgeview via a new nonprofit entity, wholly owned by Ridgeview Medical Center, was created to fulfill the terms of the lease agreement including: • The City of Arlington will own the SMC buildings and major equipment, and lease to the new corporation.

• Ridgeview will assume the operation of SMC and its clinics.

• Ridgeview will make capital investments to improve specific areas of the hospital and clinic facilities. Ridgeview will fund capital improvement projects totaling $2.5 million over the first four years. Part of these funds will be used for upgrades to the Emergency Department and Inpatient rooms.

• Current services will continue at SMC. A new board will govern the new organization and will include nine voting members: five Arlington residents, three from other Sibley County communities and one representative from Ridgeview Medical Center.

“This is an exciting time for all

of us – including our patients, staff and greater community members,” said Todd Sandberg, CEO, Sibley Medical Center.

“SMC and Ridgeview share a common vision to provide accessible, local and high quality, patient-centered care. With this agreement, we have the opportunity to further strengthen our two health care organizations while continuing to improve the health of the people and communities we serve for generations to come.”

“Ridgeview is very pleased to begin 2014 with one of the most significant milestones in our 50-year history. As we celebrate a new year, we welcome Sibley Medical Center and its affiliated clinics to Ridgeview as an owned entity,” said Robert Stevens, president & CEO, Ridgeview Medical Center.

There will be no change to hospital or clinic services. All telephone numbers, hours and staff remain the same. Effective Jan. 1, 2014, Sibley Medical Center staff are Ridgeview employees.

“We are excited to have the 130 Sibley employees join our team, and have already been planning strategic initiatives to strengthen both organizations for the benefit of patients and community members across the southwest region.”

Sibley Medical Center has held a management contract with Ridgeview Medical Center since 2007 and, in October 2012, SMC approached Ridgeview with a request to explore a more integrated relationship. At a special Nov. 12, 2013 open meeting of the SMC Board, the Board passed a resolution recommending approval of the operating lease between the City of Arlington and Ridgeview Medical Center.

Ridgeview Medical Center is an independent, nonprofit, regional health care network including the Waconia-based acute care hospital, a multitude of primary and specialty care clinics, emergency services and specialty programs, and Two Twelve Medical Center in Chaska —a free-standing 24/7 emergency and urgent care facility with multi-specialty clinics and services.

Sibley Medical Center is a municipal hospital with critical access designation, located in Arlington, which serves the residents of Sibley County and surrounding area. Its services include urgent care, general surgery, 24/7 hospital and emergency services, along with physician clinics in Arlington, Gaylord, Winthrop and Henderson.

Thirty Years Ago This Week (132) and Carl Hennen (145).

60 Years Ago (1954)

The Huber’s downtown Red Owl store closed the night of Jan. 17, 1984, ending a 58-year tradition that started just across the street from the building pictured above. Mark and Toy Huber, pictured in front of their store, had spent most of their lives nurturing the building and family business. The couple closed the store in light of the business’ relocation to its much larger building on Meridian Street not farm from Highway 169. Pictured (below) in front of that building are brothers Joe and Bill Huber with their wives Patty and Lois. They would become the third generation of Hubers to operate a grocery store in Belle Plaine and this marked the fifth store expansion since their grandfather started here in 1926.

“This is a dream come true,” said Mark Huber. “We needed more room for many years and now we have it.” He was referring to the fifth expansion for Huber’s Red Owl over the past 58 years of doing business in Belle Plaine. The new store was “nine to 10 times larger” than the store Huber’s father started in. It was in 1926 that Frank and Margaret Huber moved to Belle Plaine from Le Sueur to open a meat market in the building that was presently occupied by Anderson Drug. The new store had 13,600 square feet, which was purchased from Bob and Marion Beck. It was located on Meridian Street not farm from Highway 169. Brothers Joe and Bill Huber were taking on the challenge of the larger store.

The Scott County Board that Tuesday approved a 1984 budget of $22,750,895.

The deadline to apply for Belle Plaine’s police chief position came and went with 42 applications. The applicants ranged in age from 23 to 63. The local police committee planned to go through the applications in order to come up with 10 finalists to be interviewed by the city council.

There were 11 entries in the city logo contest that were presented to the council that Monday night. None of those submitted were selected to be used for an official city logo.

The Scott County Board ordered development and planning poli-

cies for new commercial horse breeding operations as a result of discussions with a breeder who was seeking county approval to construct a new building. The applicant was Richard Ames, a Jordan horse breeder.

John H. “Jack” Meyer, 73, of Belle Plaine, passed away Jan. 11. Mr. Meyer was born in Belle Plaine to Matt and Anna (Verkennes) Meyer, the youngest of five brothers. He attended Belle Plaine parochial and public schools. Survivors included his wife, Maxine; a son Gerald, and wife Carman of Belle Plaine; and three grandchildren – Brent, Christopher and Molly Meyer.

Roy Hix, 86, of Belle Plaine, died Jan. 16 at the Lutheran Home in Belle Plaine. He worked as a telegraph operator for Chicago and Northwestern Railroad for 48 years. Mr. Hix

was survived by his, Ruth; a daughter and son-in-law, Geraldine and Robert Gatz; and four grandchildren – William, James, Paul and Mary Gatz.

The Belle Plaine High School boys’ basketball team defeated Le Center 69-46 to improve its record to 5-5. Kevin Wolpern and Bill Fogarty had 29 and 20 points, respectively for the Tigers. Matt Hartman had a teamhigh 11 rebounds.

The Tiger girls’ basketball team crushed Jordan 67-32 for its 10th win of the season. Three Tigers scored in double figures – Laurie Wolpern (16), Sandi Schmidt (14) and Jodi Schmitz (11).

The BPHS wrestling team fell to Le Center 24-15. Also that week, the Tigers placed third at a tournament in Norwood. Winning their weight brackets for Belle Plaine were Ed Fogarty

Belle Plaine was to celebrate its centennial in 1954. The commercial club had taken over sponsorship of the event, and a general committee of five was named to spearhead the work.

They were Thomas H. Lynch (chairman), Fred J. Keup, M.M. Gaffney, Harry Schultz and Ed. F. Smith.

Emil Benes of New Prague, well-known beer distributor in this locality for many years, died at the age of 67.

Thomas Kennedy, 27, Prior Lake-Savage man who was killed in a highway accident, was known to many in Belle Plaine. Both before and after he did a stint with the Marines, he played baseball on the Prior Lake team.

Mrs. Edward C. Johnson, wellknown matron of this community, died at the New Prague hospital. She was born and married in the West Union parish and lived there all her 68 years.

Mr. and Mrs. Jim Huber and daughter arrived home from England, where Jim had been in the service for two years at South Ruislip. Altogether, he had been in the service five years. While in England, he married an Irish girl and upon returning home, planned to work in the Huber store.

John Moore, native of St. Thomas, died at the home of his daughter in St. Paul, in which city he had long been a resident.

James Ciminski, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Ciminski of Belle Plaine, died at the New Prague hospital of Bright’s disease. He was a bright and popular youth and only 18 years old when death came.

Funeral services were held in Jordan for Orlando F. Mensing, who died in a St. Paul hospital at the age of 85. Lando, as he was familiarly known, was born in Belle Plaine Township.

Two New Prague youths – George Flicek, 19, and Jerome Ginter, 19, were killed and several other people were injured in a tragic auto mishap near Montgomery. Belle Plaine relatives of the boys were Mrs. Rose Blake, an aunt of Jerome Ginter, and Mrs. Al Streitz, an aunt of George Flicek.

Word came to Mrs. Leo Bowser that Charles Bowser died at his home in Muskegon, Mich.

He was a lifelong resident of the Assumption community and was in his late 70s when he died.

Belle Plaine suffered its fifth defeat in a row at the hands of Henderson 66-59. Tom Melchior was high man with 25 points, being fed with some brilliant passing from Dave Grosser.

oncoming rain.

“It keeps the sunflower seeds dry,” he said. Ney also has a nesting site for osprey. Not far from the feeder, a bald eagle left its perch and flew away over the valley below.

It’s that kind of practical, common sense and knowledge of wildlife Heitkamp learned growing up on the farm north of Belle Plaine. He learned plenty about wildlife walking along gravel roads to and from school.

He taught ecology in Belle Plaine schools for 28 years and also worked for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). His expertise was the ecology of shallow bodies of water, shallow lakes, ponds and streams. It was work that in a single week could take him from a pond south of Fairmont to a marshy area a few miles from the Canadian border where moose feed.

During the winter, Heitkamp and Keup will leave Belle Plaine shortly after school.

While many of his friends are working on homework, playing video games or relaxing in front of the TV after a day at school, Keup is heading down to Ney Center – along Highway 19 just east of Henderson – to feed the birds and learn from his grandfather’s experience.

Keup is a frequent visitor to Ney Center. Like his grandfather, he’s comfortable there.

Heitkamp is the only remaining charter member still serving on the center’s board of directors. He and Earl Gransee, Fred Keup and Orin Kruschke also helped with the center’s annual bird count this year.

Now 82, Heitkamp is still teaching young people like his grandson that no one organization can survive on its own and that animals and that people impact wildlife. Heitkamp wants that impact to be a positive one.

He hopes Drew and his generation will learn to appreciate the natural world around them.

He also hopes his grandson is able to one day continue feeding birds, just like he’s done for years.

“What he can tell me, it’s interesting, important,” Keup said.

“It’s good to keep this alive.”

Ford touring cars (five passengers) were $295 f.o.b. Detroit.

Starter and demountable rims were $85 extra.

Mrs. Adolph Engel, a former resident of Belle Plaine Township, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Frank, died at her home in Echo, where services and burial were held.

That January was proving to be a record-breaking cold month.

In the first 21 days, there were six when government readings in the Twin Cities fell below minus-19. What was equally remarkable, the cold month followed a December of recordbreaking warmth, surpassed here only once in 50 years.

Martin Schmitt, a resident of Belle Plaine since 1874, died at the advanced age of 90 years, two months. The funeral was held from Sts. Peter and Paul Church.

At the annual meeting of the First National Bank, Theodore Albrecht was renamed president, E.O. Peterson vice president, F.J. Connolly cashier and F.H. Grosser assistant cashier.

Belle Plaine’s first poultry show was a big success. There were 200 entries in poultry and 50 farm crop exhibits.

Mrs. Ida Mies, widow of John Mies, died at her home in St. Paul and her remains were brought to her old parish of Assumption for burial. For 51 years, she had lived in Assumption parish.

Henry Ehlers of Jessenland had to have well drillers go down 412 feet to reach water, and now he had plenty of it.

Ella M. Arneson, who was born at East Union in 1892, died at the home of her sister in Cromwell, where she was staying that winter. Her remains were brought to East Union for burial.

As the women work in the kitchen, these shared memories burst into life through a series of flashback. Travel back to 1897, and meet Vivian’s grandmother, one of the founding members of the church; see Karin as a newlywed, cautiously navigating her way through the politics of the kitchen; and be there on that day, in 1944, when Mavis first barreled her way through the swinging door. As they time-jump through a Century, these ladies manage to serve up a ribtickling panorama of the changes in the kitchen, without spilling a drop of their egg coffee! Meanwhile, the Centennial

Celebration continues on the lawn. But the celebration is bittersweet. Times are tough in this small farm community, and hard decisions will have to be made.

But, once again, your favorite church basement ladies handle it all with grave, hilarity, and some brand new musical numbers that are sure to get your toes tapping. Lunch is included and will be a chicken buffet.

The Belle Plaine School District and the Belle Plaine Rotary Club have teamed up through the years to provide opportunities for foreign exchange students to have an American education experience here in the Belle Plaine Public Schools and to provide opportunities for Belle Plaine students to spend a year in a foreign country attending high school. Foreign exchange students provide a great learning experience for our students and the district is anxious to host exchange students whenever we have host families available.

Typically, host families are sought for the student for three to four month periods during the school year, but modifications on this timing can be made based on the wishes of the host family.

More information about the Rotary Youth Exchange program is found below and additional resources may be found at http:// northstaryouthexchange.com/about/.

Rotary Youth Exchange provides more than 8,000 teenagers each year an adventure of a lifetime: a chance to live, learn and become a true part of a new family, culture and way of life as a high school foreign exchange student.

North Star Rotary Youth Exchange, which encompasses southcentral Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin (Rotary Districts 5950 and 5960), provides this opportunity to eager, ambitious high school students — both to come to our area to experience American life, or to go abroad to one of about 33 countries around the world.

This program is a part of Rotary International, a worldwide service club that promotes peace, goodwill and understanding on local, national and international levels. Rotary members perform community services in their local communities (such as providing scholarships, maintaining parks or helping food shelves) and around the world (such as clean water initiatives, PolioPlus vaccinations and youth projects).

If you know someone is who is interested in hosting a foreign exchange student or who is interested in traveling abroad to study, please contact the Belle Plaine Rotary Club President, Ashton Pankonin at 952-873-2703 or the Belle Plaine School District.

On Tuesday night of this week, the Belle Plaine High School Activities Dept. hosted Veteran’s Night at the girl’s basketball game and dedicated a large, new American flag for the gymnasium. Thanks to the Belle Plaine Vet’s Club for the donation of the flag and thanks to all our veterans for their service to our country.

I would also like to thank the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce for two donations that they have made to the school district this year. A donation was made to the high school this fall for the installation of new water fountains near the South Gym that are designed to fill water bottles in a very efficient manner. Recently, a similar donation was made to Oak Crest to have two of the water fountains installed in that building as well. As we encourage our students to drink more water and make healthy choices, we are grateful for the support of the Chamber of Commerce for the installation of these wonderful (and very popular) drinking fountains. Thank you!

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. Go Panthers and Tigers!

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Alzheimer’s Support Group Meets Jan. 21

The Masters of Disaster team include back row, from left, Timothy Pressley, Tom Hammargren, Jonathan Pressley, Anders Choate and Annika Choate. In the front row are Silas Pressley, Jack Hammargren, Max Redfearn, Micaiah Miller and Jordan Clay. The team’s coaches are Michelle Redfearn and Karin Miller.

Masters of Disaster Receive Awards This school year a group of 10 home-schooled children from the New Prague and Belle Plaine areas formed a First Lego League team called the Masters of Disaster through Home by Design Cooperative.

The competed in a tournament on Jan. 4 in Elk River and

placed fourth overall in its division, even though this was their first year together. The team was judged in four areas: robot performance, robot design and programming, team project and core values (how well the team worked together).

This year’s theme for the First

Lego League was “Nature’s Fury.” The challenges on the robot table related to natural disasters.

Additionally, the team had to develop a project on a new or improved solution to a specific natural disaster. The Masters of Disaster focused their attention on the problem of potential increased flooding in new developments that are projected for the New Prague and Belle Plaine areas. Their solution was to create an “EZ Sprinkler” system that would attach onto a rain barrel, including a pump, hose and a sprinkler to easily distribute the collected water onto lawns and gardens, instead of wasting drinkable city water or overflowing city sewer systems. The judges enjoyed the presentation of their idea and were thoroughly impressed that they were a first-year team.

The competition highlight for the team was receiving the “Judges Award” because they scored so consistently high across the board in all categories. The team was sponsored by the local McDonald’s.

The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine and its Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association provide resources and a support group for community members whose lives are touched by Alzheimer’s Disease and other memory loss disorders.

The monthly support groups are free and open to the public.

The next meeting will be Tuesday, Jan. 21 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Kingsway Retirement Center in the Ratzkeller Room (The Lutheran Home-Belle Plaine’s newest community for seniors). “Caring and Sharing” will be the topic.

Anyone with questions can contact Sarah Beckius, LSW at The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine at 952-873-2161.

Note: Therapeutic Respite Care is available for your loved one with Alzheimer’s/Dementia for the hour while you attend Support Group Meeting.

A Promise Kept With help from Holli Reimers, Assistant Cub Master Greg Kellogg made good on his end of a promise to have his head shaved if the scouts reached their goal for food collected and donated to the Belle Plaine Area Food Shelf. The scouts collected over 40 pounds of food in November and 170-plus pounds of food in December for the food shelf.

Our Lady of Prairie Students Begin Million Dollar Fund-raiser Our Lady of the Prairie and 84 other Catholic schools are kicking off their biggest fund-raiser yet, the first million-dollar Catholic Schools Raffle beginning Friday (Jan. 17).

OLP’s students are selling tickets for a three-state raffle that could bring present the winner a $50,000 grand prize or other prizes like a 2014 Honda CR-V or $25,000 cash, $5,000 vacation packages, technology gear and more, hoping to raise $5,000 to support its programs and students.

Last year, 82 participating schools raised a combined total of more than $960,000. In the four years it has existed, the annual raffle has helped Catholic schools raise more than $2.2 million.

OLP will keep all the money

it brings in because St. Paulbased Catholic United Financial covers the entire cost of the prizes and materials. More than 300,000 tickets have been printed and shipped, along with tens of thousands of bulletins, flyers, posters and banners to help Our Lady of the Prairie increase sales.

“If you want to support your Catholic school, this is the same as marching into the office and writing a check,” said Harald Borrmann, president of Catholic United. “But with the raffle, every $5 buys you a chance to win a car, a vacation, or some other really great stuff. We are really just trying to encourage donations.”

Even if you don’t win, the school still does. Along with the revenue it receives, OLP is also

60 Degrees Warmer

in the running to win a $3,500 grant from Catholic United if it is one of the top-three performing schools (based on tickets sold per student). The top-selling student at each of the 85 schools will also win a Kindle Fire HD and the top classroom, a pizza party.

The 85 schools in Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota will sell tickets from Friday’s kickoff through March 2, prior to the official drawing at 11 a.m., March 13. Schools and hopeful ticket holders can watch the drawing ceremony live online at www.catholicunited.org Raffle updates can be followed on twitter @raffle4schools and on Facebook at facebook.com/ catholicschoolsraffle

Each of the funded projects must be completed by Dec. 31, 2014.

Earlier this year, the city of Belle Plaine’s application to the state for a Safe Routes to School grant, which can be used to construct sidewalks to make walking to school safer, was also denied.

H.S. Boys’ Basketball

Tigers Take Down Raiders, Saints

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School boys’ basketball team extended its winning streak to three games with a pair of victories over Norwood Young America (71-69) and St. Peter (70-56).

Those wins took place in about a 20-hour as the NYA game was played Friday night in Belle Plaine and the St. Peter game late Saturday afternoon in St. Peter.

Last Tuesday’s MRC home game against Tri-City United that was postponed due to weather has been rescheduled for 7:30 p.m. Feb. 20. The Tigers, 3-2 in the Minnesota River Conference, 8-3 overall, will travel to Le Sueur-Henderson for an important MRC game 7:30 p.m. this Thursday. Watertown-Mayer will visit Belle Plaine at the same time next Tuesday.

Tigers 71, NYA 69 Sophomore Luke Narveson netted 26 points (18 from threepoint range), enabling the Tigers to edge NYA by two points Friday night at the BPHS gym.

Teammate Aaron Bigaouette’s steal in the closing moments of the game sealed the victory.

Bigaouette also had 15 points.

Rounding out the scoring for the Tigers were Sam Karl (8), Cameron Lark (7), Gavin Dauwalter (6), Mitch Nelson (5), Mitchel Stier (2), Colton Hentges (1) and Ricky Fogarty (1).

Dauwalter had nine rebounds, followed closely by Narveson with eight.

Noah Peterson tossed in 30 points to lead the Raiders, most of those coming from beyond the arch.

“This was a fun game to be a part of,” said Belle Plaine coach John Wellner. “There were some tremendous plays made and both teams shot the ball very well, but the difference was rebounding. We simply did a great job of holding NYA to one shot on the rare times when they missed. You have to give NYA credit. We are considerably bigger at every position and they are good enough shooters to overcome

that weakness.

“We did a good job of keeping our composure when they were making all kinds of shots and we were really disciplined when they tried to slow the game down in the first half,” Wellner continued. “Luke Narveson really shot the ball well tonight and we don’t win without Sam Karl’s passing. Mitch Nelson gave the team great minutes tonight simply because of his effort. I was impressed by Ricky Fogarty and Mitchel Stier.

Ricky got into foul trouble and didn’t play as much as he usually does, but played well in the last few minutes because he stayed in the game mentally from the bench. Mitchel played the most he has all season and was solid because of his effort in practice and his desire to get better everyday. And you can’t say enough about Aaron Bigaouette. This is now the third time that he has made a steal at the end of the game to seal a victory for us. That is what clutch players do.”

Tigers 70, St. Peter 56 The Tigers did not shoot nearly as well as the night before but a long string of Saints turnovers led to a 14-point road victory for Belle Plaine.

“It is amazing how much different a day makes in basketball,” Wellner said. “Against NYA, we shot extremely well, but we lost our shooting touch for long stretches today, especially from the free throw line where we were 15 for 33. We struggled defensively against NYA, but our half-court trap and pressure defense forced St. Peter into 24 turnovers. It was good to win a game by double digits when we didn’t shoot well and that was because of our defense. The game got a little tight in the second half when they cut our lead to five, but we made a couple of big plays to boost it back up to double digits by the end of the game.

“What impressed me most about this game was the team attitude by our players,” Wellner continued. “Cameron Lark didn’t play as much as he normally does because of their size

and Colton Hentges has been getting spot minutes for the last few games, but both show such a great team attitude. They were always up cheering, excited for their teammates and the team.”

Narveson and Bigaouette led Belle Plaine in scoring again with 24 and 20 points, respectively. Fogarty and Karl both chipped in eight, while Dauwalter and Nelson both had four and Stier two. Dauwalter was tops in rebounds with nine.

Bigaouette, Narveson and Fogarty combined for 10 steals.

Scott West’s #2-rated 145pounder Zach Siegle stopped the New Prague run at two matches. After securing an opening take down for a 2-0 lead, Siegle reversed New Prague’s Darick Kvam to his back and held him there for a three-point near fall en route to an 11-3 major decision.

New Prague’s #6-rated Richard Reinartz pinned Panther sophomore Dylan Johnson at 152 before Scott West’s #1-rated Andrew Fogarty did the same to New Prague’s Doug Nelson to put the Panthers up 26-16.

New Prague’s Joe Heinz then scored a pin over Jack Storlie at 170 pounds to bring it back to a four-point differential. But a pin from Scott West’s #8-rated Derek Dahlke over Tony Woolhouse brought the lead back to 10.

Scott West 195-pounder Ray Carter then put the meet out of reach with a pin over Logan Dykstra, making the team score 38-22.

Scott West 220-pounder Jake Schultz defeated Mitch Gullickson 4-0 before Panther heavyweight Daniel Kochlin got pinned by Zach LaFovor to make the final 41-28.

Following the big win in New Prague, Scott West crossed the border into Iowa for the third time in four years to compete in the Flanagan Invitational in Cresco, Iowa. After the opening round, Cresco had a four-point lead over the Panthers.

“We were in a position where we really needed to have a good second round with 10 semifinal matches,” states Ripley. “We did have a good round as we won eight of those matches and that propelled us to the lead in the tournament.”

The biggest and possibly most exciting of those semifinal wins came at 132 pounds as Jacob Backlund scored a big victory over the #1 seed and previously unbeaten Kellan O’Shea of Decorah. Trailing 4-2 late in the second period, Backlund tied the match at 4-4 with a double-leg take down. In the third period, Backlund jumped a half-nelson and drove O’Shea to his back for a pin fall call.

“That was a big win for Jacob and big win for our team,” says Ripley. “I liked the way that Jacob got stronger as the match went on for quite possibly his best win as a Scott West wrestler.”

Not to be outdone was Scott West 145-pounder Shane Abraham as he also advanced to the championship finals with a big 13-3 major decision over Turkey Valley’s #2 seed Nick Meirick. He followed that up with a solid 7-3 semifinal win over Goodhue’s Logan Breuer.

While Backlund and Abraham lost their championship finals matches, Scott West had six others who won their title bouts.

Leading the way was 106pound eighth-grader Jackson Stauffacher, who built a 12-5 lead behind four take downs before pinning Decorah’s Joe Knoke late in the third period.

Juniors David Flynn (126) and Andrew Fogarty (160) pinned their way through the tournament. Flynn would win his Flanagan championship with a pin of Goodhue’s Bailee O’Reilly, while Fogarty’s title was sealed with a pin of Turkey Valley’s Charles Hadacek.

Tigers Still Without a Victory

by Dan Ruud With just 12 regular season games remaining, the Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team is still trying to harvest its first victory of the season following two more losses – at Jordan Thursday night and at St. Peter Saturday afternoon. The defeats dropped the Tigers, who have surpassed the midway point of the regular season, to 0-13 overall.

Belle Plaine was scheduled to host Tri-City United in a Minnesota River Conference game Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press.

Norwood Young America, one of the top teams in the MRC, will visit the Tigers 7:30 this Thursday.

Looking further into the second half of the schedule, Belle Plaine has three games against teams without wins – one at Faribault Bethlehem Academy next Tuesday night and two against Le Sueur-Henderson on Jan. 23 and Feb. 21.

Jordan 70, Tigers 27 The Tigers stuck with the Jaguars for the first five minutes of the game but it was all Jordan from there as it built a 37-12 halftime cushion en route to a 43-point victory. The win lifted the Jaguars to 4-0 in the MRC, while the Tigers slipped to 0-4.

“Jordan outplayed us tonight in every facet of the game,” said Tigers coach Randy Carlson.

“Jordan is an experienced, talented, well-coached team. They are very impressive. We did a good job on defense for most of the game but our rebounding was atrocious. Offensively, they took us totally out of our offense and we did not adjust well. Hard work and a positive attitude will get us through this.

We are showing improvement but we have a ways to go.”

Elizabeth Johnson had 11 points for Belle Plaine, followed by Amara Meyer with six and Mariena Hayden four.

Ireland Lambrecht, Megan Schmitz and Kenzie Koepp had two points apiece. Torie Kellogg had eight rebounds, followed by Hayden and Meyer both with six.

Maddie Dean of Jordan had four more points than the Belle Plaine roster combined as she poured in 31. Teammates Ashley Freund and Darian Vinkemeier added 14 and 10, respectively.

St. Peter 83, Tigers 64 The Tigers had their secondhighest offensive output of the season but it was not nearly enough to ward off loss No. 13 as the host Saints prevailed by 19 points.

“This was probably our best overall game of the year,” Carlson said. “We played better offensively and did a good job of adjusting to their fullcourt pressure. I thought that our press worked well against them. We did a really good job of adjusting tonight. If we can make a couple more shots, we can start to win these games. I felt that Elizabeth Johnson did a very good job at the point guard position. She made some really good decisions against the press and getting the ball up the

Scott West Beats N.P.; Wins Invite The Scott West Wrestling team returned to action after a short layoff following its third-place performance at the Belle Plaine’s Torie Kellogg, with ball, had eight rebounds at Rumble on the Red in Fargo, N.D., Dec. 27-28 as the PanJordan Thursday night. thers traveled to New Prague for a dual meet on Thursday night and then followed with a trip to Cresco, Iowa, for the Flanagan Invitational on Saturday. The Panthers came up big in both events as they beat New Prague 41-28 before bettering host Cresco and a field on nine teams on Saturday.

“We put together a couple of good performances to start the new year,” states Scott West coach Darren Ripley.

Scott West’s performance at New Prague was led by the lightweights as the Panthers swept their way to victories in the first four matches in front

of a well-packed Trojan gym.

With the lights down and the spotlight on, Scott West 106pounder Jackson Stauffacher took to the mat against Trojan Sam Reyant. After a scoreless first period, Stauffacher would get to his feet for a 1-0 matchleading escape and an eventual 3-1 victory.

Next, Panther Ben Kelvington scored the opening take down against Brady O’Neill at 113 pounds to take a 2-0 first-period lead. After scoring a second-period reversal, Kelvington widened the gap in the third period with a second take down and a two-point near fall for a 8-0 major decision.

Scott West sophomore Ryan Siegle did not score a major decision at 120 pounds but he did keep the early Panther winning streak on track as he secured a

solid 7-1 win over Tanner Rutt.

Taking a 6-2 lead into the third period, newly #1-rated David Flynn won a showdown with New Prague’s #7-rated Nick Knutson at 126. Flynn built the lead to 8-2 with his third take down of the match, and after a Knutson escape, the Scott West wrestler powered Knutson to his back for a pin fall call at 4:50.

New Prague brought out two of their heavy hitters to stop the Scott West win streak at four, which had resulted in a 16-0 team lead. Super sophomore and #1-rated Griffin Parriott scored a 17-6 major decision over Jacob Backlund and #2-rated James Berg defeated Shane Abraham by disqualification.

Stitches or Not, BPHS Junior Loves the Game of Hockey

Belle Plaine Cub Scouts, Webelos and Girls Scouts competed in a pinewood derby Saturday at Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School Saturday. The winners in their respective age groups included (back row, tan shirts) Teddy Sellnow, fastest Cub Scout; David McMurray, best in show, open class; Wyatt Hermann, fastest open class; (middle row, blue shirts) Michael Kirchner, fastest Wolf scout; Jackson Kirchner, fastest Bear scout; Carson Mulroy, best in show, Cub Scouts; Niklas Tharaldson, fastest Tiger scout; (front row) Joseph Peterson, fastest Lion; Ali Sellnow, fastest Girl Scout group 1; Megan Holzemer, fastest Girl Scout group 2; Lily Kirchner, best in show Girl Scouts; (Not pictured: Hannah Tharaldson, fastest Girl Scout, fastest car at race).

B.P. Scouts Take Different Paths to Fastest Pinewood Derby Racers (continued from page 1)

other, with Hannah’s racer just edging out her younger brother’s car. Niklas’ car was among the fastest for his age group.

“They have a rivalry, but it’s pretty good-natured,” Leif said.

Ready to Go

Unlike previous years, the Sellnows opted against lastminute adjustments and minute tinkering trying to shave fractions of a second from the car’s time. With the graphite applied to the wheels and axles, the father-son team needed to

add a bit of weight to reach the weight limit. Cars can’t exceed five ounces.

“We didn’t mess with it as much this time,” said Teddy Sellnow, also a fifth-grader at Oak Crest.

Sellnow, in his second year of Webelos, will advance to the district races with the other top finishers among the boys. Girl Scouts don’t have Pinewood derby race at the district level.

The young Sellnow shaped his Pinewood derby racer like a school bus, an irony only in that

he seldom rides buses to school.

He most frequent contact with school buses is seeing them on Belle Plaine’s streets.

Jason Sellnow, Teddy’s father, used a band saw to cut the shape. Teddy handled the sanding and dad tended to the painting. Dad took care of the graphite, simply applying it to the axles without grinding.

“I just shot it in,” he said.

“Usually, we did a lot more messing with it,” the younger Sellnow said. “I was surprised because usually we’re not that fast.”

The competition drew dozens of pinewood derby racers, all uniquely designed and painted.

Winter Texans to Meet Jan. 27 Winter Texans from Belle Plaine, New Prague, Jordan and the surrounding areas will hold their annual luncheon Monday, Jan. 27 at 11 a.m. at Harold’s Country Kitchen.

Buffet dining begins at 11:30 a.m. For more information, call Dick Eischens at 952-2179919.

The restaurant is located at 211 E. Highway 83 in Donna, Texas.

by Dan Ruud Blood was spilled on the hockey rink in Belle Plaine a few weekends ago. A player was hit by a puck on the forehead above her right eye, requiring five stitches. It only hurt “a little bit,” she said.

That player was Belle Plaine High School junior Olivia Turmes, who did not let the incident keep her off the ice long.

In fact, she was quickly back practicing with the Prior Lake High School junior varsity girls’ hockey team a short time later with the stitches still in place. When she got hit by the puck, she was playing pick-up hockey with some boys.

For Turmes, it doesn’t matter if she’s playing against boys on the frigid outdoor rinks of Belle Plaine or against other high school girls in the warm confines of the Dakotah Ice Center in Prior Lake. She just loves playing the game, and Prior Lake, which is the only avenue to high school hockey for Belle Plaine students through a cooperative program, gives her that opportunity.

Turmes, 17-year-old daughter of Marlene and Paul Turmes and lifelong resident of Belle Plaine, has only been playing organized hockey for a few years, all at Prior Lake. Before that she played mostly with boys at the Belle Plaine rink, which she often still does.

One of Turmes’ best friends is Kaylee Shields, who is the niece of Molly Shields.

“Molly is the one who taught me to skate when I was little,” Turmes said.

Molly Shields was a hockey player for Prior Lake High School a number of years ago.

She, like Turmes, attended school at BPHS and made the daily trip to Prior Lake and back for practices and games.

Turmes also got to know another Prior Lake hockey player who went to Belle Plaine High School. Michelle Jeurissen, like Shields, was one of the Lakers’ top players her latter years in the program. She graduated from BPHS in 2012.

“I met Michelle at the rink one day and she told me I should try out for the (Prior Lake) team,” Turmes said.

Turmes took Jeurissen’s advice and they played in the program together for about a year.

Turmes, who is a defenseman, isn’t sure if she will make it to the varsity level like Shields and Jeurissen did. She acknowledges that her late entry into organized hockey limits her chances, even though she has one of the hardest shots of any player on junior varsity or

Olivia Turmes varsity at Prior Lake.

“I hope I make it (varsity) but I won’t be bummed if I make junior varsity again. I started late, so I’m still catching up. As long as I’m playing on a team, it doesn’t matter much to me,” Turmes said.

Turmes’ mother, Marlene, said she wasn’t surprised when hockey became Olivia’s favorite sport.

“The writing was on the wall.

She played basketball for a winter sport at a younger age and after playing in a game, the first comment she would make would be something about getting home quickly to get to the rink to check on the ice,” said the elder Turmes, adding that the family’s home being so close to the local rink added to the hours Olivia spent learning to skate and play hockey.

“Liv has improved a lot and has learned so much playing for Prior Lake. Hockey is her passion and she likes the fast pace of the game. We are proud of

her dedication and commitment to the sport.”

Turmes is a thrower on the BPHS track and field team in the spring and a lifeguard at the swimming pool in the summer. During hockey season, she works in the local warming house and drives herself to Prior Lake six days a week, which is about a 40-minute round-trip commute. Of course, there’s also school.

Turmes said she likes helping local girls get a start in playing hockey.

“I’m at the warming house almost everyday and if I’m not there, my number is there. If someone wants to start (playing hockey), it’s never too late. It’s good to get with the boys early on because they’re a step ahead of the game by being faster and stronger. I think that’s how I got my strong shot – playing with the boys,” Turmes said.

Although “it’s never too late,” Turmes acknowledges that the earlier a player gets started in hockey, the better he or she is likely to become.

“When you start late like I did, you don’t learn all the fundamentals that make you a better player,” said Turmes, adding that what has held her back despite a strong shot is technique and speed, which take a number of years to develop.

Turmes was not able to play in male-dominated pond hockey tournament in Belle Plaine on Jan. 4 because her Prior Lake team had a game against Apple Valley, which the Lakers won.

Had her schedule been free, Turmes said she would have played.

Turmes is once again stitchfree, and that’s not the only good news for the young hockey player.

“I still have all my teeth,” she said.
