One-Act Play Shooting for Another Star Public Performance Thursday Night

The Belle Plaine High School one-act play group will be out to add another star to the program’s growing galaxy of success when it performs “The Drowsy Professor” as its entry for the 2014 subsection, section and state competitions. That quest will get underway this Saturday with the subsection festival at Le Sueur-Henderson High School, where the top two acts will advance to the section festival at Jordan High School on Feb. 1. Only the top act at the section will advance

to the state festival in St. Paul. Last year, Belle Plaine captured the school’s sixth “starred” performance rating in seven years and the 10th in the last 20 at the Minnesota State High School League One-Act Play Festival at O’Shaughnessy Auditorium on the campus of St. Catherine University in St. Paul. Belle Plaine, which performed “Ridiculosis by Proxy” as its 2013 entry, was one of three schools from Class 1A to receive a star in 2013, which featured eight performances. A total of 208 schools from Class 1A competed in one-act play last year.

“The Drowsy Professor” is a Conference Secondary Schools comedy written by B. Dwayne Festival in 2003. Craft, who was the playwright “The Drowsy Professor” is of last year’s BPHS entry, “Ridiculosis by Proxy,” as well as One-Act the 2008 production “The Win(continued on page 18) ner,” which like “Ridiculosis by Proxy,” starred at state. Tony Hartmann, who co-directs BPHS one-act play with Peter Jacobson, said Craft has been supportive of BPHS using his scripts for one-act play competitions. Craft has taught and directed theater at Bob Jones High School in Madison, Ala., for a number of years. His original one-act play, “The Winner,” won the Best Play award at the Southeastern Theater

A New Ulm man wanted for a variety of alleged crimes, including theft in Belle Plaine, was arrested last week in northeast Minneapolis after fleeing Minneapolis police and U.S. Marshals. Buck Otto White was arrested Wednesday near the intersection of Como and 33rd avenues. Police and Marshals chased White for about four miles before he crashed after they fired at his sport utility vehicle. The chase began when U.S. Marshals served a warrant on White at a house where he was living. It was unclear whether White first fired at officers, the Star Tribune reported, although he reportedly has a history of illegal gun ownership. He was taken to a hospital after the crash but was released to police. White was the subject of several arrest warrants, including one issued in Scott County Jan. 9 for an alleged theft of almost $14,000 in agricultural equipment from Ag. Power in Belle Plaine. White is charged in Scott County District Court with the theft of two gravity bins from the dealership Oct. 11, 2013. A court date has not yet been set. According to Belle Plaine Police, Oct. 10, Ag. Power reported the theft of two gravity bins valued at $4,995 and $8,600. A witness saw them being towed northbound on Highway 169 Oct. 6 between 4:45 and 5 p.m. The criminal charge indicates the witness who saw the bins

Buck White

being towed on the highway noted the bins were hooked up backwards and being towed well above the 30 mph hauling speed. He told police the bins were being towed by a two-tone Chevrolet pickup truck from the late-1980s or early-1990s. Oct. 11, police spoke with another witness who saw the bins being towed in the grassy area behind Belle Plaine Motorsports. He described the driver as a white man in his 40s or 50s. The criminal complaint said the man identified White from a photographic lineup. White’s photo was included in the lineup because he’s allegedly been involved in other thefts in the area. White, also known as Timothy Joseph Hoffman, has been wanted on federal gun charges since July. He was indicted in March for being a career criminal in possession of a firearm

City Continues Push for 169 Overpass by Dan Ruud Belle Plaine Mayor Mike Pingalore, Council Member Scott Schneider and other representatives of the city met last Tuesday in their ongoing attempt to drum up support for the proposed overpass at Highway 169 and County Road 3/Meridian Street in Belle Plaine. The meeting, which also included reps from Scott County, took place at the Burnsville office of the city engineering firm of Bolton and Menk. Pingalore said the latest bestcase scenario to get an overpass in place sooner than later with access to prime economic development land involves a plan called Alternative 2B, which he said the cost estimate for is slightly over $5 million. He added that the project could become reality as early as 2015. The county would pitch in at least $700,000 of that sum and the rest could be financed through a variety of sources. Pingalore and Public Works Superintendent Al Fahey both said they remain hopeful that the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) may fund a percentage of the cost as well. But Pingalore said he has not ruled out at least some help from the state. He said a “vari-

ety of funding sources will be looked at and pursued, including (funding) partnerships with Scott County, Mn/DOT, private landowners and developers, internal budgeted capital funds and various bonding options.” Alternative 2B would involve the construction of a bridge over Highway 169. However, rather than build it at the point where County Road 3 intersects with Highway 169, it would be located a short distance down the southbound lane of High-

way 169 with access from West Commerce Drive on the north side of Highway 169 and County Road 3 on the south side (see map on page 18). This would not be a full-fledged interchange system with cloverleafs and all, which Pingalore said could cost some $15 million. But Alternative 2B would A patriotic presentation took place prior to the start of the Belle Plaine High School girls’ be enough to provide access to basketball game against Tri-City United last Tuesday night at the BPHS gym. Members of the Belle Plaine Vets Club, which donated a new flag to the school, were on hand to present City the colors for the National Anthem. For the singing of “God Bless the USA” by the school (continued on page 18) choir, numerous students walked across the gym pulling with them long strips of the Stars and Stripes that were loaned to the school by West Central Area Schools, where BPHS Principal Dave Kreft’s brother, John, teaches industrial technology.

Fire Destroys Rural Cologne House

Belle Plaine firefighters were among those who unsuccessfully tried to save a rural Cologne house from being destroyed by fire Thursday morning. Carver County sheriff’s deputies and firefighters received a report at 10:36 a.m. of a structure fire Jan. 16 at 11825 County Road 152 in Benton Township. When they arrived at the house, they found it fully engulfed. Belle Plaine Fire Chief Todd Otto said it appeared as if the fire started in the east end of the house and spread from there. The house was unoccupied at the time and is a total loss. Roxie and Jerry Christenson lived at the house with their

adult daughter and two granddaughters, ages 4 and 5. Cologne Fire Department responded first with firefighters from Belle Plaine, Norwood Young America, Hamburg, Waconia, Carver, Chaska, Victoria, Watertown, St. Boni, Plato and New Prague fire departments bringing water and additional manpower to the rural house. Ridgeview Medical Center also responded to the scene. The fire is being investigated by the Cologne Fire Department and state fire marshal’s office. A benefit fund at KleinBank in Cologne has been established for the Christenson family.

For many students, a class project is displayed on a wall, tucked away in a portfolio or saved electronically. For a team in Joe Deutsch’s light construction class, the class project will head north later this spring. A team of about a dozen students are building a camper cabin a northern Minnesota lodge will own. When complete, the 14-by-24 foot rental cabin will be loaded on a flatbed and head north to Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground north of the Gunflint Trail in northeast Minnesota. The cabin’s design is similar to the model the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) rents to people who prefer a solid roof over their heads but still want the outdoor feel. It will have electricity but no heat or running water. The DNR version of the cabin rents for about $55 a day. The cabin features a steel roof, vinyl windows, metal wainscoting and cedar siding. The light construction class in which it is being built is one of those classes added to the array of offerings last year. It replaced a class Bruce Mathiowetz, the junior-senior high’s agricultural teacher, led over the years. Students in the class built a garden shed. “Bruce has been really busy and I wanted to do something new,” Deutsch said. The project started with the students learning to pour and smooth concrete, a pad for the cabin while its built.

Teamwork

In addition to the MSP Airport, Land to Air Express now offers multiple daily trips from Mankato to Rochester and Southern MN destinations in between. Convenient Mankato shuttles are still available every day to and from the Minneapolis International Airport.

Working in teams of two and three students, the groups handle whatever task needs to be completed during a given day. Last Thursday, a group of students worked on applying soffit while another applied the metal wainscoting and cedar siding. Later this winter, a certified electrician will be in class and lead students through the process of running wire to outlets, lights and switches. A professional electrician is a sign the job is being done properly. “I’m kind of particular,” Deutsch said. “If we have to buy a few more 2-by-4s, we’re going to do it the right way. There’s education in messing up.” After the wiring, students will get started on the interior finish work, jobs that will include installing cabinets. When the job is done later this spring, the cabin will head north to the Hungry Jack. The group’s next project will be the new building at the football-track complex. This spring won’t be the last time Deutsch sees the cabin. For 20-plus summers, he’s worked at the lodge during the summer, performing odd jobs, maintenance work and guiding tours. “I’m kind of a jack of all

trades,” he said. The challenge to the project is slow progress. By the time students walk from the juniorsenior high school to the wood shop at the south end of the District Center, receive their assignments for the day and get started, they have about 45 minutes until it’s time to cleanup. “It is what it is. We get done what we can,” he said. “It’s better than not teaching the class.” The light construction class is a benefit to students, teaching them the benefits of teamwork as well as providing an introduction to trades work, experience they can take directly into the workforce after graduation or to a technical school. Deutsch said several of the students work part- and full-time summer jobs in the construction industry. “Let’s face it,” he said, “not everyone is bound for a fouryear university education.” The class is a partnership between the students, the school

and Siwek Lumber in Jordan. Siwek is providing the materials and the students the labor. The DNR’s version of the cabin is worth about $20,000 while the model the students are building is worth “just over half” of that amount, said Dave Siwek, one of the owners of Siwek Lumber. He and Deutsch are longtime friends of Forrest Parson, Hungry Jack’s owner. Siwek will transport the cabin to Hungry Jack, Siwek said. The project is not costing the school any money as Siwek Lumber and Hungry Jack Lodge are paying for the lumber, materials and transportation. “This is a great community service project, for sure,” he said. “These kids are getting an opportunity to build something that people will use everyday.”

OLP Elementary Receives Seven-Year Accreditation Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic School in Belle Plaine recently received a renewal of its accreditation with The Minnesota Non-public School Accrediting Association (MNSAA) for 2012 through 2019. Accreditation is a voluntary method of quality assurance with a goal to evaluate, validate and improve each school’s quality. MNSAA is a federaland state-sanctioned non-profit association for accrediting nonpublic schools in the State of Minnesota. The association’s mission is to be a catalyst for enhancing the quality of non-public education in Minnesota through a comprehensive process of accreditation. The agency helps schools provide quality nonpublic education for students attending member schools. “Being accredited and licensed as a school of excellence from MNSAA is an important qualification for a private school,” said Mindy Reeder, OLP’s principal. “This certification ensures families that our school is a school of excellence.” For over a year, Our Lady of the Prairie school staff and school advisory council have been preparing for the accreditation review team visit that occurred this fall. The OLP staff prepared a narrative report of these areas, written and evaluated reviews each area of the

school and goals set in a 16page strategic plan. Updates from these goals included new curriculum materials, laptops for students, and SMARTBoards in all classrooms.

To-Do List

One of the first areas of review by OLP staff was the curriculum handbook. OLP Staff reflecting the historical academic excellence taught at Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic School writes this handbook. Teachers reviewed their written curriculum, creating standards that reflect current Minnesota State standards in all subject areas. Then, these standards were compared and mapped, curriculum material needs noted, and a review cycle created for continued renewal of educational materials and textbooks. In addition to a review and rewrite of all subjects, OLP staff and school advisory council evaluated all areas of the school. The review included mission, safety, learner development and assessments, school climate and facilities, community relations, personnel, and leadership governance. From this review and narrative report, a strategic plan was developed to drive the schools’ goals forward for the next seven years. This plan will be updated again this fall with feedback from the accreditation review

team and then published on the website with feedback and input from all staff and families, Reeder said. “OLP is proud to be accredited by MNSAA and will continue to be a school of excellence,” she said. The accreditation process includes the creation of a visionary and focused strategic plan and an on-site visit by a team of educators from member schools. Accreditation with MNSAA relies heavily on how the individual school defines its mission and the way it seeks to accomplish that mission. A member-elected board of directors that bases its accreditation on a school’s evaluation through a self-study process governs MNSAA. Schools are accredited based on compliance with a set of standards identifying essential personnel, teaching, facility, curriculum, governance, and marketing policies, and practices that are considered necessary for an effective school. MNSAA accredits 170 schools that make up the association. MNSAA salutes OLP’s commitment to providing outstanding education to the children of this community. MNSAA will continue to provide guidance to Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic School through an annual review of its strategic plan.

Sibley County Seeking Federal Money to Improve County Road 6 If two grant applications are successful, Sibley County will spend about $800,000 in federal money as part of projects designed to improve safety along County Road 6 -- Scenic Byway -- north of Henderson. The county board recently OK’d the submission of applications seeking federal money to fund improvement projects in 2017 and 2018. If successful, Sibley County will be required to maintain the improved areas. The first improvement project

is timed for 2017. It will include the replacement of timber drainage structures and timber slab bridges along County Road 6 between county roads 12 and 5 in Jessenland and Faxon townships. The project also includes widening the roadway to provide aggregate shoulder areas around the structures, making it safer for pedestrians. The project will cost about $1.2 million. The county already has secured $145,000 in state bridge bonding money, the Gaylord Hub recently reported.

The second phase of the project is to widen the rest of County Road 6 besides the areas around the structures, between county roads 5 and 12. The county wants more room for pedestrian and bicycle traffic along Scenic Byway. Commissioner Jim Nytes of Henderson Township, said the projects are important safety improvements because of the truck traffic, much of it from gravel quarries along County Road 6.

Peggy is the daughter of Bill and Frances Sullivan Brown.Including Peggy, there’s Lois, William, Marilyn, Kevin, Maurice, Denise and Tom who grew up on the farm a few miles south of St. Thomas. The Browns are related to everybody around here. Congratulations to Jerry and Peggy. According to John Burns, Father Burns’s dad, the Maurice Brown family pew was the first one on the Blessed Mothers side of the

center isle of the St. Thomas Church while he was growing up. John remembers them fondly, his family pew just a couple pews behind, where Kenny and Debbie O’Connell sit now Aaron, Deb and Grace Halloran enjoyed some snowshoeing and cross-country skiing at Ney Center on Sunday, during a break in the “polar vortex”. Monday was a lot colder and snow was blowing straight south, parallel with the ground. John Novotny of the Novotny Brothers Trio, celebrated a birthday last week. John was born January 14, 1950. Larry and John are now the same age now til March 3. Making connections, John is married to Madonna Novotny, Julie Odenthal’s sister. A popular song Madonna sings is “The Laughing Polka” and she sang it with Larry Novotny at the All You Can Eat Band Reunion in Lonsdale on Sunday. George Korbel played a broom made by Merlin Moore for a bass.The band was wonderful. Okay, that’s enough cold, enough ice, and enough snow, let’s have spring.

Andrew will walk with his graduating class of 2014 in commencement ceremonies this coming May, at St John’s. Humor Corner: After the funeral service for a prominent town lady, the pallbearers are carrying the casket out of the church, when they accidently bumped into a wall, jarring the casket. They hear a faint moan. They open the casket and find the woman very much alive. She lives for 10 more years, before she dies. Again after the funeral service the pallbearers are carrying out the casket. As they head towards the door, the husband yells, “Watch the wall!”

By Dr. Kelly Smith

On Monday, Belle Plaine teachers and administrators had a workshop day featuring two presentations to all staff. In the morning, we learned more about Depth of Knowledge and how to better understand what depth of knowledge we are requiring of students with the particular questions that we ask. Additional information was shared regarding best practices in education. Continued work will be done with staff to integrate this new knowledge into their daily instruction. In the afternoon, we joined the teachers from Jordan for a great session on “The Truth Behind Words and Relationships”. The presenter had terrific energy and did a great job engaging all in his presentation and discussion. Key takeaway – In order for learning to occur, strong relationships need to be established; between teacher and student and between teacher and colleagues. As we celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, I was reading through some of his story and came across a number of quotes that I feel spoke to his body of work. Here are some of those quotes enjoy: “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” “We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” “As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation -- either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course.” “Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.” “If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way” “If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.” “Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.” 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.

Foster Pet Care Needed Volunteers are needed to provide temporary foster pet homes for puppies, cats, rabbits, kitten litters and dogs in Carver, Scott and Hennepin counties. The Carver-Scott Humane Society is without a permanent shelter, so all abandoned pets are housed in foster care until permanent adoption occurs. Once or twice a month the foster family comes with the pet to a public adoption day for three hours, held in Eden Prairie and Chaska. The Society provides medical care, food and litter. Volunteers provide a safe, loving home for an average of three to six months. Once a month volunteers come with the pet to a public adoption day for three hours; usually held in Eden Prairie. If you could help a needy pet by fostering or donating litter or unopened pet food, please call the Society at 368-3553, line 4.

Shakopee Schools Boss Takes ‘Adoption Benefit’ Over Raise Shakopee School Board directors decided Superintendent Rod Thompson has earned a new contract through 2017. But rather than take a raise, Thompson received a $30,000 adoption benefit over the next three years. Thompson and his wife adopted a child a year ago. They want to go through the process again. The benefit will

reimburse he and his wife for adoption-related expenses up to $30,000 through 2017, the Shakopee Valley News recently reported. Thompson’s salary is $175,830. A raise would have likely increased his salary by $3,000 annually through the end of the contract. His contract includes medical and dental coverage benefit of approximately

$10,000 annually. Thompson issued a written statement that the adoption benefit is a sign to him the Shakopee School District is a family friendly employer. In addition to the adoption and health benefits, the newspaper reported he receives 25 paid vacation days annually and accrues 1¼ paid vacation days a month.

Elko New Market Commission Backs Drive-in Theater Plan Elko New Market’s planning commission is giving a proposal for a drive-in movie theater at the race track just west of the intersection of Interstate Highway 35 and County Road 2 a favorable review while passing the proposal on to the city council. The council will consider a request for an amendment to the race track’s planned unit development (PUD) tomorrow night (Thursday, Jan. 23). Track owners are proposing a 713 vehicle drive-in theater with movies projected from a 144-square-foot building on to a 116-foot wide and 46 foot tall screen formerly used at a drive-

in theater in Cottage Grove, the New Prague Times recently reported. The projection building could be expanded to 1,600 square feet, space that would include concessions and restrooms. If the council OKs the proposed amendment, work could begin this spring and doublefeatures would be shown Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays beginning this summer running through the fall. Movies would end by 2 a.m. with patrons out of the facility by 2:30 a.m.

The outdoor theater would be just south of the track. A tree line would obstruct the screen to the west and west. The sound would be broadcast to vehicles by FM transmitter, the newspaper reported. Concerns raised during the Jan. 7 planning commission meeting include the ability of homeowners to see screens, noise, whether movies would be family friendly and the potential the drive-in would reduce the value of a residential properties.

the water table. The water table serves a local aquifer for private and non-community water supplies serving the Scott County Juvenile Alternative Facility and the SCALE Regional Training Facility. Kate Sedlacek of the Scott County Environmental Health Department said the county tried working with S.M. Hentges & Sons to reach an agreeable floodwater mitigation plan. Despite several revisions, the county and company could not agree on a mitigation plan the county felt was adequate. The state Environmental Quality Board recommended the county find the EIS inadequate. The county and state are concerned Minnesota River flooding could backup Sand Creek and inundate the proposed mine. The state is concerned the wells, once impacted by flooding, the report says, will continue to be impacted by floodwaters for years after floodwaters subside.

Deeper Wells

The final EIS says S.M. Hentges & Sons has proposed digging news wells in case flooding taints the existing wells. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources opposes a proposal to build a berm around the mine above the anticipated level of flooding. The DNR is concerned the berm could push floodwaters even higher back

into Jordan. Commissioner Barbara Marschall of Prior Lake noted the uncertain amount of time and cost of groundwater monitoring and mitigation. Commissioner David Menden of Shakopee said is looking to the MPCA and Minnesota Department of Health for information. “There are a lot of answers I don’t have,” Menden said. Commissioner Tom Wolf of Credit River Township, a Jordan native, said “We have to get our hands around this (ground) water issue. We can’t let this slide until we do.” Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township, Belle Plaine’s representative on the county board, asked if there is a way for Hentges & Sons to reach a mitigation plan the county and state will find acceptable. “Is there light at the end of the tunnel. I think it’s a fair question,” Wagner said. Environmental Health Manager Al Frechette said there is a way to engineer a suitable mitigation plan. The solution depends on whether the company is willing to pay the cost of the mitigation. The proposed operation includes a temporary asphalt plant and portable concrete mixing plant. The two plants would take waste concrete and asphalt to be crushed and recycled. Annual water usage at the proposed plants and mine is estimated to range from 500,000 to 2 million gallons.

Shakopee Buys a Piece of the Dome for ‘The Joe’

CDA Initiative has Scott County ‘Open to Business’

Carver County Seeks Dairy Princesses

The final event at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome presented the City of Shakopee with the opportunity to once again purchase seats from a stadium. The city purchased 650 seats from the downtown stadium for Joe Schleper Stadium at Tahpah Park. The city council OK’d a $26,000 purchase (plus $250 delivery charge), the price available to non-profit groups. The city estimates it would have spent $140 to $150 apiece for the seats at Joe Schleper Stadium, the Shakopee Valley News recently reported. The seats from the Metrodome – outdoor quality but used indoors -- will replace

seats the city purchased from the old Metropolitan Stadium, the Twins home from the early1960s until the stadium was closed, razed for Mall of America and the Twins moved from Bloomington to Minneapolis. The seats from Metropolitan Stadium are breaking down more frequently and while the city has parts on hand, they are becoming increasingly scarce. Joe Schleper Stadium was built in 1981. It has approximately 540 seats, plus a row for additional chairs. “The Joe,” as it is known locally, replaced venerable Riverside Park north of downtown Shakopee along the west side of Highway 101 on the banks of the Minnesota River.

More than 125 full- and parttime jobs are available with the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) and its Gaming Enterprise – Mystic Lake Casino Hotel and Little Six Casino.

Jobs are available in the food and beverage, hotel housekeeping, and janitorial departments. Representatives from the em-

ployment department and hiring managers from the SMSC’s enterprises will be available to conduct interviews on-site with selected applicants. The SMSC Gaming Enterprise received a “Best Places to Work” award from the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal in 2012 and 2013 and a “Top 100 Workplaces” award from the Minneapolis Star Tribune in 2013. To view current openings and apply for jobs online, visit www.mysticlake.com/employment. For more information, call 952-496-6919.

For more information or to confirm attendance, contact Barb Grimm, 952-657-2476.

Aiming to help small businesses survive through their early years and eventually thrive, Scott County and its Community Development Agency are kicking off the “Open to Business” program. The program provides start-up small businesses consulting expertise to help them get started. its part of the The Metropolitan Consortium of Community Developers (MCCD), an agency that links entrepreneurs in so-called lifestyle businesses – small businesses intended to generate income the owners can live on -- with people with the expertise a small business needs at no cost to the small business, said Stacy Crakes, a business development consultant with Scott County Community Development Agency. Carver County has worked with the Open to Business program for over a year and is reporting positive results for small business owners, she said. With a combination of academic and personal experiences growing and starting small businesses, Open to Business advisors can provide assistance to help clients plan and work through challenges small businesses face. The advisors can help entrepreneurs make strategic business decisions based on their business and personal situations, Crakes said. Open to Business advisors can help business owners with accounting and record keeping, business acquisition, business start-up, all aspects of business plan development, from cash flow Ffinancial, and business actory Traineloan packaging, netanalysis, d

New Prague Eyeing New Rules Governing Local Brewers New Prague city staff is examining prospective rules designed to make the city a more hospitable landing spot for brewing establishments. The city’s planning commission recently began discussions on potential changes to ordinances governing land use for

a brewery, brewpub, a microbrewery or taproom. The city’s ordinances are currently mute on the authority of those businesses. State law regulates the amount of product they can produce annually, the New Prague Times recently reported. The city is

concerned about where they would best be located, from downtown to an industrial area where the smell and traffic might be better suited. Discussions will continue with the planning commission and at the staff level.

First Stop Shop

Crakes also works with the First Stop Shop program, an initiative designed to promote the county and its cities to businesses interested in expansion in Scott County. Business owners can turn to First Stop shop as a place to gain information they need when planning an expansion. The businesses are typically larger than the companies that would utilize the CDA’s Open to Business program. In promoting Belle Plaine, Crakes noted Belle Plaine’s location along Highway 169 is both an advantage and a challenge for companies. While land prices may be lower here and the proximity to rural Minnesota a benefit, she said the highway is viewed as a plus. However, the stoplights along Highway 169 in Jordan and western Shakopee between Belle Plaine and Interstate Highway 494 are a hindrance to companies looking for easy transportation to and from the area. “It’s a matter of perception,” she said. County officials hope Open to Business and First Stop Shop will ultimately keep more Scott County residents working close to home, relieving traffic snarls and river crossings. Scott County aims to dramatically increase the number of residents working in the county by 2030.

working, operations, strategic planning, and commercial real estate analysis, Crakes said. MCCD’s also provides small business loans for emerging entrepreneurs who lack the credit history or a sufficient credit rating to take out the loans needed to start a business. As part of a financing plan, borrowers can receive help in planning, organizing and managing their businesses. But the lending is not done at a level that competes with local banks, said Chelsea Alger, Belle Plaine’s director of community development. The gap financing is through a micro-lending program, generally $30,000 and under. Open to Business lending fills a gap for businesses that may be higher risk. The interest rate is going to be higher than what a business could finance through a bank or the city’s Revolving Loan Fund, generally in the 7-10 percent range. The eligible list of projects that qualify for financing is much more expansive compared to the city’s RLF, which is also intended to be a gap financing tool in conjunction with local bank financing, Alger said. “So those just starting out and/ or those who don’t have a lot, if any, collateral may find additional financing opportunity in this program,” she said. The city will be promoting Open to Business as well as the CDA. For more information, call Alger at Belle Plaine City

Scott County, Park District Eyeing Green Isle Will Get Update on Latest Version of Fiber Project More Land in Blakeley Bluffs Just over a year ago, a bond into a lower break-even point was named vice-mayor to MayCounty Road 3 Overpass Still in Road & Bridge Plan for 2016

Scott County plans to acquire just over 240 acres and a house in six parcels from willing sellers within the Blakeley Bluffs Regional Park Reserve this year. The county is estimating the land will cost just over $1.84 million, although the final price may change depending on the outcome of land valuations and negotiations. Last month, the county board unanimously approved the capital investment plan, a schedule of investment in parks, roads and other capital assets, last month. Scott County is estimating acquisition opportunity grants will fund 75 percent of the cost of the acquisitions. An 8.6 acre parcel in Cedar Lake Farm Regional Park northeast of New Prague is also on the planning schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with willing sellers, only willing sellers,â&#x20AC;? said Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township. He represents both Belle Plaine and Blakeley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The grants will make it more affordable and if we never develop the park, we can always sell the land for more than we bought it.â&#x20AC;? The county and park district are planning an off-leash dog park in Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve south of Savage.

Road Investments

Thanks to previous investment into Belle Plaine area county roads and the needs in Scott Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more populated areas, the transportation investment plan has little targeted for Belle Plaine between 2014 and 2022. The lone mention of work on

county roads and bridges is in 2016. Scott County has allocated $35,110 in county money and $700,000 in state and federal monies for an overpass of Highway 169 at County Road 3 (Meridian Street). Efforts to raise additional funding for an overpass with access to and from the highway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which informal estimates indicate will cost $10 to $12 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are ongoing. A city proposal could include the use of municipal bonding money available if street improvement projects are shelved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The county roads in the Belle Plaine area are all in very good condition, thanks to investment in their upkeep,â&#x20AC;? Wagner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a lot of work in the northern half of the county because, well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the population and all the traffic are. People from Belle Plaine drive on those roads, too.â&#x20AC;? In 2014, Scott County is setting just over $788,000 in county money aside toward improvements to County Road 44, between Fish Point Road and County Road 27 in Prior Lake. Scott County is also planning work on County Road 17 at Vierling Drive and County Road 79 at Vierling, both in Shakopee. Other projects to be funded in 2014 include $900,000 in spot safety improvements around the county, reconstruction of County Road 46 near Elko New Market, a roundabout at the intersection of county roads 2 and 46 and railroad crossing gates along County Road 9 in Jordan. In 2015, the county is planning an erosion control project along county roads 6 and 51 in Blakeley Township. The county will dedicate $600,000 toward the project with another $600,000 coming from another source. Other major projects to be funded in 2015 include a reconstruction of County Road

8 between County Road 91 in Credit River Township east to the Dakota County border. Scott County is also funding over 4 million of the $20 million in expansion projects to county roads 17 and 83 in Shakopee and Prior Lake. The following year, the county is planning approximately $3.8 million for the paving of County Road 56 between county roads 23 and 87 in Cedar Lake Township. A $14.2 million expansion of County Road 16, between county roads 83 and 21 in Shakopee is also planned for funding in 2016. The county is putting almost $3 million into the 1.5-mile project. In 2017, Scott County is allocating almost $3 million, with another $8.23 coming from other sources, for improvements to County Road 42, between Rutgers Street in Prior Lake, east through the intersection of County Road 42 and Highway 13 to Quebec Avenue in Savage. In 2019, the county is planning a big project at the junction of Highway 13 and County Roads 21 in Prior Lake, a project intended to provide improved access into downtown Prior Lake. Scott County will allocate $200,000 into the project with another $9.2 million from the state and other funding sources. Scott County has a $3-plus million contribution to the expansion of County Road 8 from just west of County Road 27 to just west of County Road 91 in Credit River Township in 2022. The state is also contributing $3.63 million. Scott County is also planning $93,000 toward a $14.7 million expansion of County Road 17, from south of County Road 82 northward to just south of County Road 42. Just over $13 million from the state is the largest share of the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funding.

St. Peter May Snuff Out E-Smokes in Parks, City Property In St. Peter, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s against city ordinance to smoke m cigarettes and use tobacco products on city property. Now, the city is considering expanding that ban to e-cigarettes. Last summer, a St. Peter city employee mistook people smoking e-cigarettes near the city pool. Thinking they were smoking tobacco cigarettes, the staff person asked the people to squelch the heaters. The e-cigarettes produce a vapor the user inhales rather than nicotine. The Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act regulates the use of tobacco cigarettes. It is mute on e-cigarettes. Concerned ecigarettes set a bad example for

youth and lead them to begin smoking, Rep. Phyllis Kahn, DFL-Minneapolis, plans to introduce legislation amending the act to include e-cigarettes, the St. Peter Herald recently reported. Opposition to the amendment is expected. In Belle Plaine, city ordinance makes no reference to a prohibition of any form of smoking in outdoor city property. Belle Plaine School District Policy prohibits the use of tobacco and e-cigarettes on school grounds. According to a study published by the Federal Center for Disease Control, the use of e-cigarettes has more than doubled among teenagers in 2013.

Reorganization

Meeting for the first time in 2014, the Green Isle City Council conducted a brief reorganization at its Jan. 14 meeting. Councilor Mark Wentzlaff

or Dale ZumBerge. ZumBerge distributed a list of potential committee assignments which was unanimously approved.

for the project, Erickson said. In addition, interest on the loan will not accrue as fast as the revenue bond financing, a fact will save the project millions of dollars over its lifespan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The old financing plans called for interest to accrue at a much faster rate,â&#x20AC;? Erickson said. Pledge cards will be sent to potential subscribers in the coming weeks. During a twoyear marketing period (201012), the project received 4,300 signed pledge cards in support of the fiber network. Under the revised business plan only 3,300 customers are needed for the project to break even. With enough pledges from home and business owners, formal support from the 10 city councils and 21 township boards will be sought.

attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concern over the risk associated with a project effectively squelched an effort to bring TV, Internet and telephone communications via a fiber optic line to houses and businesses in much of Sibley and parts of Renville counties. Since then, supporters of fiber optic broadband have worked on a better, more fiscally palatable way to deliver communications via fiber. Tuesday (Jan. 28, 6:30 p.m.), the Green Isle City Council will receive an update and answer questions on the latest plan to bring communications via fiber optic broadband to much of Sibley and parts of Renville counties. The latest plan carries a $55 million price tag, $15 million less than the effort that got started in 2008. Financing for the 650-squaremile project is in the works and a variety of project details still need to be hammered out but it is expected the 10-city joint powers board working to add 21 township boards to its membership and provide a private cooperative with a $15 million economic development loan from the issuance of a general obligation tax abatement bond. The RS (Renville-Sibley) Fiber Cooperative Board, a private cooperative formed in late2012 to represent rural Sibley County, will own and operate the fiber to the residential and farm network. The cooperative will use the loan to attract an additional $40 million in financing, said Mark Erickson, Winthropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city administrator and economic development director. The presentation in Green Isle is expected to include the latest available information on potential costs and financing and operational details. This time around, the project will borrow substantially less money because of the nature of the financing. The revenue bond approach requires an additional $15 million in loan costs.

BPHS First in Kick, Second in Jazz Panthers Beat Watertown; Take

The Belle Plaine High School Explosion dance team competed in the Farmington Invitational on Saturday, placing first in high kick and second in jazz against a combination of Class 1A and 2A teams (see team photo on next page). “The varsity kick team made some final changes to their routine and this was a great meet to bring them out,” said Belle Plaine coach Kathi Stauffacher. “These girls are very focused on the goals they have. We felt we needed to add something to our routine to give us a little more of an edge to help us down the road in the conference and section meets. “The varsity kick team performed a flawless, fun routine

that earned them first place with a rank point of 3,” Stauffacher continued. “It left the entire gym cheering for them as they left the floor. Other teams and scores were Zumbrota Mazeppa (statequalifier in 2013) (6), St. Croix Lutheran (9), Hmong Academy (12) and Kenyon-Wanamingo (15). The Belle Plaine jazz team finished second behind ZumbrotaMazeppa, which placed at state last year. Z-M’s rank point was 3. “It was very close when you look at the total scores. Zumbrota just has more difficult turns in their routine. This is something we will continue to work on,” Stauffacher said.

Last week’s Minnesota River Conference Meet No. 2 at Jordan was postponed due to weather and will be made up this Thursday starting at 7:30 p.m. Belle Plaine will host its annual dance show this Saturday at 7 p.m. at the high school. The third and final conference meet will be next Tuesday at Oak Crest Elementary School starting at 7 p.m. 2013-14 BPHS Dance Remaining Schedule Jan. 18 Farmington Invite Jan. 21 Boys’ Basketball Jan. 23 MRC Meet 2 at Jord.

Girls’ Basketball Belle Plaine will next travel to the gym of another team that began the week in search of its first win of the season as it will be at Le Sueur-Henderson in a MRC game 7:30 p.m. this Thursday. After that, the Tigers will be the underdog in their next seven games before closing the regular season at home against LS-H on Feb. 21. TCU 63, Tigers 40 The Tigers fell behind 15-2 before closing the margin to 25-20. But the Titans closed the half on a 16-6 run to take a 4126 lead into intermission. The Tigers had a couple of miniruns in the second half but not nearly big enough to chew all the way through the TCU lead. “They came at us right away and we did not step up to answer it. They got a lot of lay ups when we were really slow to react and we dug ourselves a big hole,” said Belle Plaine coach Randy Carlson. “Offensively, we did not shoot well and had a tough time finding any rhythm. Amara Meyer had a good game for us. She was very active on the floor and showed some leadership out there.”

(continued from page 17)

Meyer finished with 16 points, seven rebounds and three steals. Also scoring for the Tigers were Megan Schmitz (6), Mariena Hayden (5), Elizabeth Johnson (5), Torie Kellogg (4), Katelyn Jeurissen (2) and Alyssa Schultz (2). Hayden had a team-high 10 rebounds. NYA 72, Tigers 54 The Tigers played what Carlson said was their “best half of the season” as Belle Plaine built a 22-10 lead and trailed by only one at the break (31-30). “Defensively, we did a great job of making them work for scoring opportunities,” Carlson said. “They came back strong after switching defenses on us to take the lead at halftime. Both teams played well in the second half. The difference in the game was they made shots and we did not. The name of the game is shooting. We need to be more consistent with our shooting.” Belle Plaine had five players score between eight and 12 points. Johnson and Meyer led the way with 12 apiece, followed by Hayden with 10, Ireland Lambrecht (9) and

Schmitz (8). Kellogg added two points and Erica Selly one. Hayden again topped the team in rebounds with 16. Meyer grabbed 13 and Kellogg six. Schmitz had three steals. Kaylie Brazil sparked the Raiders with 30 points. “It was good to see some balanced scoring for us,” Carlson said. “We need to build on this. Mariena Hayden had a very good overall game and Elizabeth Johnson did a great job for us at point guard. Hopefully, this game gives us some confidence as we move forward. We are improving.”

The Scott West Wrestling team is one step closer to reclaiming the Minnesota River Conference championship as it traveled to Watertown-Mayer Friday night and won 40-25. Last year, it was the Royals, who not only beat Scott West for the MRC title, but knocked the Panthers out of the Section 2AA Team Tournament as well. “Overall, we didn’t wrestle particularly well throughout the night,” states Scott West coach Darren Ripley. “You have to give the Royals some credit for that as they did a good job of wrestling hard throughout their lineup.” The hard night of wrestling started at the beginning of the lineup as two eighth-graders squared off and it was the Panthers’ Jackson Stauffacher who got the better of the exchange as he caught W-M’s Kendall Nowlan with a five-point take down on his way to an 8-0 major decision. “Jackson got him with a real nice opening take down near the edge of the mat and was able to hold him on his back for a big five-point move and advantage,” states Ripley. “He then closed the match out getting the points necessary to get the major and one extra team bonus point.” Scott West put up a another bonus point as sophomore Ben Kelvington delivered a 12-2 win over Brady Kohl at 113 pounds. Kelvington used a series of attacks to score a take down in each of the three periods, while also tacking on a three-point near fall to gain the major decision. “Ben has been putting some better practices together lately and it seems to be transferring to the mat as he is wrestling a little better each time out,” says Ripley. “Hopefully, he can continue this momentum and take it through the rest of January and into February.” The Royals would stop the Scott West momentum as they picked up a pair wins of their own when Jackson Sweeney scored a 15-6 major decision over Ryan Siegle at 120 and Bryce Duske followed with an 8-4 win over Carter Piche at 126. The Panthers came right back behind a David Flynn 15-0 technical fall over Jordon Peterson at 132 pounds. Flynn used four sets of back points to score the decisive win over the Royal eighth-grader. Flynn’s teammate, Zach Siegle, followed with a second-period pin of Brian McDonald at 138 pounds. Trailing 19-7 on the team scoreboard, W-M came charging back to tie it at 19 all as the home team put together three wins in a row, started by Aaron Sweeney’s 6-2 decision over Shane Abraham at 145.

Johnson at 152 as he was able to ride out Johnson the entire third period. Next for the Royals was Jon Vouk’s second-period headlock pin of Jack Storlie at 160. Scott West would regain control of the meet as Andrew Fogarty (170) and Derek Dahlke (182) scored back-to-back pin falls, and Ray Carter tacked on a solid 6-0 win over Logan Cooper at 195 and the Panthers built a 34-19 lead. At 220 pounds, Jake Schultz took a 5-0 first-period lead and made it 6-0 with an escape early in the second period, but then W-M’s Troy Schueble threw Schultz to his back for a matchending headlock pin. The meet came to an end with Scott West winning 40-25 as Josiah Schatz scored a second-period pin over Zach Larson at heavyweight. “It was good to get Josiah back in action,” comments Ripley. “He hadn’t been on the mat in competition for quite a stretch of time.” With the win over W-M, Scott West can officially reclaim the MRC championship with a win over Norwood Young America on Friday night, Jan. 31 at Jordan. Scott West traveled to the Eastview Lightning Invitational on Saturday in Apple Valley and placed second to Shakopee (191 team points) in the 12-team tournament. The Panthers had 176.5 points as they crowned four champions in David Flynn (126), Zach Siegle (138), Andrew Fogarty (160) and Derek Dahlke (170). Ben Kelvington placed third for the Panthers at 113, while Carter Piche (120) and Ray Carter (182) each finished fourth. Ryan Siegle finished fifth at 120 as did Jack Storlie at 152. Tyler Buesgens (132) and Daniel Kochlin (HWT) both placed sixth, while

Parker Huss (106) and Shane Abraham (145) competed for the Panthers but did not place in the top six of their respective weight classes. Scott West hosted Hutchinson in Belle Plaine Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press.

Michael Kroells Named Student-Athlete of Month Belle Plaine High School graduate Michael Kroells, a redshirt freshman on the University of Minnesota wrestling team, was named the U’s Male Student-Athlete of the Month for December. Kroells is an aerospace engineering major in the College of Science and Engineering.

He puts long hours into both his studies and his sport. He is an incredibly hard worker, and one who does everything he needs to do to be successful here at the University of Minnesota and life after college. I expect

his academic s u c cesses to continue in future semesters. He is a true studentathlete.” Associate head wrestling coach Brandon Eggum said: “Michael is a great asset to our program. The effort he puts forth both on the mat and in the classroom have made him a vital part of this program. With these great leadership qualities, we have high expectations for him.” Amanda Zaui, a redshirt freshman on the U of M’s women’s basketball team, was named the school’s Female StudentAthlete of the Month for December.

Members of the BPHS varsity high kick team, pictured at Farmington on Saturday, include back row, from left, Mia Pribyl, Hannah Johnson, Bree Sisell, Jane Schneider, Madison Haller, Krista Peltonen and Jenna Seaver. In the middle row are Allison Skluzacek, Jade Hipp, Lexi Stauffacher, Maggie Applegarth, Megan Schumacher, Kala Schmidt and Selin Dikmen. In the front row are Rachael Eliason, Bryce Schmidt, Tessa Olson, Jenna Seaver, Tatum Pass, Ashley Morrison and Ally Fink.

The ball has not exactly been bouncing the Tigers’ way this season. Pictured for Belle Plaine (in red) on this play during last Tuesday night’s game against TCU are, from left, Torie Kellogg, Emily Vinkemeier and Amara Meyer.

H.S. Girls’ Basketball

Belle Plaine Falls to TCU and NYA by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team dropped to 0-15 overall following two more losses last week (both at home) against Tri-City United 63-40 on Tuesday and Nor-

wood Young America 72-54 on Friday. The Tigers traveled to Faribault Bethlehem Academy in search of their first victory of the season Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went

to press. Like Belle Plaine, Faribault BA entered the game winless and hungry for a victory.

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School boys’ basketball team travelled to the small gym of Hilltop Elementary School in Henderson Friday night and came out with a giant win over Le Sueur-Henderson by a 72-69 count. The victory, their fourth in a row, improved the Tigers to 4-2 in the Minnesota River Conference, 9-3 overall. Due to weather, the game was played a day later than originally scheduled. Belle Plaine played host to Watertown-Mayer in a MRC game Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press. The Tigers will be at Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop for a nonconference game 7:30 p.m. this Thursday before returning to MRC action the same time Friday at Sibley East. A busy slate of games will continue 7:30 p.m. next Tuesday at Waseca. Tigers 72, LS-H 69 The Tigers trailed 39-35 at halftime but were able to rally to a three-point victory in what was a wild and acrobatic contest on the hilltop in Henderson. Speaking of acrobatic, balance Belle Plaine’s Luke Narveson soared high on this play Friday was key for Belle Plaine as four night in Henderson. He finished with 17 points. Pictured beplayers scored in double fig- low up high is teammate Sam Karl, who had 11 points. ures. They were Luke Narveson (17), Aaron Bigaouette (16), Gavin Dauwalter (16) and Sam Karl (11). The other scorers were Mitch Nelson (6), Ricky Fogarty (3), Cameron Lark (2) and Mitchel Stier (1). Dauwalter had 15 rebounds. Riley McGraw paced the Giants with 16 points, followed by Jordan Kahlow with 13 and Bradley Rose 12. “This was another exciting basketball game,” said Tigers coach John Wellner. “I was really proud of our guys with how hard they played. The Giants are a very scrappy team that play extremely hard and we had to match that intensity. We didn’t play that well offensively and we didn’t shoot the ball or finish easy plays all that well, but our defense allowed us to do that. And really, it wasn’t any strategy, it was simply the effort of our players. When teams play that hard it doesn’t matter what you do on defense – you are going to get stops and

City Continues Push for 169 Overpass

potential economic properties on both sides of Highway 169 for about one-third of the cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;City representatives and staff met (last Tuesday) with Scott County representatives and staff to discuss advancing the bridge project on the south side (west side) of the city,â&#x20AC;? Pingalore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an encouraging meeting in that all the parties are working towards the common goal of making a connection. City staff have some research to do and report back to the group.â&#x20AC;? There are some involved with the proposed project who have said that Mn/DOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent decision to increase the speed limit on Highway 169 through Belle Plaine from 55 to 65 mph brings even a bigger need for a second overpass in Belle Plaine, including Police Chief Tom Stolee. His biggest concern is vehicles turning onto and off Highway 169 at County Road 3/Meridian Street and the increased difficulty of merging with traffic coming at higher speeds. According to Pingalore, the left turn from Highway 169 onto County Road 3/Meridian Street can be closed at any time by Mn/DOT if they determine it is necessary regardless of the bridge project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The left turn closing is not a definite component of this bridge project moving forward, but it will be an issue of discussion,â&#x20AC;? Pingalore said.

(continued from page 1)

A Less Costly Plan Alternative 2B, estimated to cost a little over $5 million, would involve the construction of a bridge over Highway 169. However, rather than build it at the point where County Road 3 intersects with Highway 169, it would be located a short distance down the southbound lane of Highway 169 with access from West Commerce Drive on the north side of Highway 169 and County Road 3 on the south side. This would not be a full-fledged interchange system with cloverleafs and all, which Mayor Mike Pingalore said could cost some $15 million. But Alternative 2B would be enough to provide a second crossing in Belle Plaine and access to potential economic properties on both sides of Highway 169 for about one-third of the cost.

Suspect in B.P. Theft Arrested After Gunfire (continued from page 1)

after several guns were found in a Courtland storage locker. Deputies investigating a string of burglaries in St. Peter used information from a GPS tracking device on his van to link White to the crimes, the Mankato Free Press reported. White was ar-

rested Feb. 16, 2013 in New Prague after evading New Ulm police when they waited for him at his house. White has a 1984 burglary conviction and a 2006 methamphetamine possession conviction in Hennepin County, a

1992 burglary and 1994 assault conviction in Anoka County and a 1995 burglary conviction in Kanabec County. The Hennepin County drug conviction resulted in a six-year prison and probation term that ended in 2012.
