City Confident Overpass Project Can Begin This Year Mn/DOT Confirms Full Interchange System Not an Option

by Dan Ruud 2015 is the year the city of Belle Plaine has marked on its calender to begin construction of the proposed bridge over Highway 169 near County Road 3/Meridian Street. Whether it can happen or not remains to be seen. But the city council did not take long into the new year to see to it that the project continues to move forward in time for a fall construction timeline. The bridge was a topic at a workshop session that followed the council’s first regular meeting Several hours after the fire was reported Thursday morning (Jan. 8), Belle Plaine firefighters of the year last Monday night continued to hose down remaining hot spots from a fire in the lower level of Darrell Bieder’s (Jan. 5). house along Union Hill Boulevard. They were hampered by sub-zero temperatures, a lack of City Administrator Holly Kreft reported that “per previeasy access to the fire and water that had to be trucked to the site. ous council direction, staff is moving forward with the necessary steps to have the project bid in the summer of 2015 with construction to start in the fall

Barking Dog, Firefighters Saved Man’s Life in House Fire When firefighters began their work to extinguish a fire at the Bieder farmhouse at 9060 Union Hill Boulevard just before 2 a.m. Thursday morning (Jan. 8), they didn’t know Darrell Milo Bieder lay in an upstairs hallway unconscious and struggling to breathe. Bieder called his son, Chris, at 1:38 a.m. and 9-1-1 two minutes later. The elder Bieder didn’t make it out of the house. A barking dog staying by its owner’s side in the smoke-filled hallway alerted firefighters the house was not empty. Bieder’s wife was out of town.

“We kept hearing the barking dog,” said Belle Plaine Fire Chief Matt Stier. “That alerted us.” Chris Bieder also informed firefighters his father was in the house. He lives near his parents and arrived shortly after firefighters reached the house. Stier sent a two-man crew – firefighters Mike Gau and Tim Hentges – into the upper floor of the house to see if there was anyone upstairs. They found Bieder, 69, unconscious on the hallway floor. Hentges and Gau worked to move Bieder out of the hallway

Former Lutheran Home CEO and Trinity Pastor Dies Former Belle Plaine Lutheran Home President and CEO and Trinity Lutheran Church Pastor Robert Schlicht died Jan. 7 in Glendale, Ariz. He was 83. Pastor Schlicht was president, CEO and pastor of The Lutheran Home Association (TLHA) from 1960-1993. During his tenure with TLHA, Pastor Schlicht: – Acquired the River Falls Campus in Wisconsin. – Conceived and built the Hope Residence in Belle Plaine. – Rebuilt The Lutheran Home:

of 2015 and be completed by summer/fall of 2016.” The current plan, called Alternative 2B, involves the construction of a bridge over Highway 169. However, rather than build it at the point where County Road 3 directly 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 could cost approximately $15 million. But Alternative 2B would be enough to provide access to potential economic properties on both sides of Highway 169 for less than half of the cost, according to Mayor Mike Pingalore. In response to a recent inquiry by Council Member Paul Chard if a full interchange with full alignment with County Road 3 is a viable option, Kreft’s re-

port to the council stated that the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) is opposed to it. Included in the council’s packet on Jan. 5 was a letter dated Dec. 15, 2014 from Mn/DOT South Area Manager Jon Solberg. “Current traffic volumes in the area do not warrant an additional (full) interchange.” Solberg added that a full access interchange at this location is not consistent with the 20year Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan or the Metropolitan Council’s Transportation Policy Plan. “Both these plans are fiscally constrained and a full interchange at this location is currently not funded.” Solberg did not stop there. “A full interchange at this location would violate the in-

He was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center. Thursday, Bieder was listed in critical but stable condition, Stier said. His condition improved Friday and over the weekend. Monday, it was listed as satisfactory. “Today was the first time he was up and walking on his own,” Chris Bieder said. “He’s Dr. Heidi Skonseng, left, is joined by office workers Pamm Egan, center, and Annalee Balk at doing better.” But Monday night, Bieder was the recently-opened Southwest Eye Care in Belle Plaine.

2014 Year in Review

wednesday, JANUARY 14, 2015

October Through December

The previous two weeks, the Herald reviewed the first nine months of 2014. This week the final three months of the year’s top stories are covered.

October

*Joe Hankins and Emilyn Sie-

mon were crowned Belle Plaine High School’s 2014 homecoming king and queen on Oct. 6. *The city of Belle Plaine added another $702,000 to its coffer to pay for the future construction of a bridge near the intersection of Highway 169 and County Road 3/Meridian Street when it accepted Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) municipal agreement program funds totaling that amount. *The Belle Plaine High School girls’ cross country team captured the Minnesota River Conference team championship for a third year in a row and the fourth time since 2006 at the MRC Championships at Watertown-Mayer High School on Oct. 9. Senior Janessa Meuleners won her third MRC individual championship in the last four years. Joining her as top 10 finishers for Belle Plaine and thus All-MRC honorees for 2014 were juniors Alissa Schultz and Danika Schroeder. Meuleners went on to place second at the section meet in Blue Earth and qualify for her sixth state meet, where this season she placed fourth among 171 runners at St. Olaf College in Northfield. *The Belle Plaine boys’ cross country team claimed second place at the MRC Championships in Watertown. Jordan took first. Three Tigers gained all-conference honors by finishing in the top 10. Included were senior Carter Olson, freshman Kyle Siemon and senior Max Hughes. *Peter Eischens, a 2007 graduate of Belle Plaine High School, was the overall winner of Belle Plaine’s Scenic Byway Half-Marathon race on Oct. 11. Eischens, who currently lives in St. Cloud, covered the 13-mile course in a time of 1:28:02, which was two minutes faster than Dan LaPlante of Minneapolis (1:30:00). The first female finisher was 30-year-old

Ellen Armbruster of Minneapolis. Fifty-five-year-old Robert Jacobson of St. Paul was the overall winner of the 5K race, while Lisa Jamison of Belle Plaine, racing in the 30-39 age group, was the first female finisher. For a second year in a row, a marriage proposal was made and accepted at the finish line of the half-marathon as Dale Johnson popped the question to Kim Tillemans moments after finishing the race together. Also for a second year in a row, already married couple Don and Pam Meger of Belle Plaine found the hidden harvest medallion, this time in Veterans Park. *Belle Plaine High School sophomore Ireland Lambrecht made it to the semifinals of the Section 2A Individual Tennis Tournament before losing to the tournament’s No. 1 seed, Karleigh Wolff, of Blue Earth Area. Lambrecht had defeated St. Peter’s Jo Dietrich and Sibley East’s Breann Walsh in the first two rounds. As a team, the Tigers finished the season with a record of 3-5 in the Minnesota River Conference, 5-15 overall. Ten of those losses were by 4-3. Earning all-conference honors for Belle Plaine were Lambrecht, seniors Jane Schneider and Kate Schmit, and junior Grace Olson. Senior Leah Schaefer and junior Rachel Schroers were honorable mention. *The Belle Plaine City Council narrowly provided city staff with the go-ahead to purchase (for $45,000) the vacant lot where an arson fire nine years ago destroyed one of Belle Plaine’s most historic buildings at the corner of Main and Meridian streets downtown. The vote to buy the property was 3-2, with Mayor Mike Pingalore and council members Cary Coop and Scott Schneider accounting for the yes votes. Paul Chard and Gary Trost voted no. The listed price of the lot was $55,000. The funds for the purchase will come from tax increment financing (TIF), state money that the city is currently in excess of, and if not spent soon, has to be returned to the state. Staff recommended purchasing the property “since it is a key corner in the downtown

district and the city would be able to incent development and better control the type of use. Until a development is in place, the city could also use the property for civic uses such as the local farmers market.” *A 27-year-old Belle Plaine native, Jennifer Marie (Wolf) Compton, was killed Oct. 24 when her motorcycle and a vehicle crashed at the intersection of County Road 40 and 152nd Street near East Union in Dahlgren Township. Compton, who graduated from BPHS in 2005 and most recently lived in Chaska, was on her way to work as a receptionist at Matt Saxe Chevrolet-Buick in Belle Plaine. *Bill Koniarski, 91, of Belle Plaine Township, who served 32 years as a Scott County commissioner, died Oct. 29 at Kingsway Retirement Living in Belle Plaine. *After section playoff victories over Sibley East and Worthington, the Belle Plaine High School football team’s quest to reach the state playoffs came up one win shy for a second year in a row as it lost to Blue Earth Area 47-32 in the Section 3AAA championship game Halloween night in Blue Earth. The Tigers finished the season with a record of 3-4 in the Minnesota River Conference, 5-6 overall. Gaining all-conference honors for Belle Plaine were seniors Ben Stier and Alec Selly, and junior Luke Narveson. Receiving honorable mention were senior Joe Hankins and junior Tyler Grieves.

November

*An

age swing of over 50 years between seller and buyer of one of Belle Plaine’s most recognizable buildings took place Nov. 3 when Ryan Neisen, 21, took over ownership of Neil’s Pub, which he planned to change the name of to Neisen’s Corner Bar. It’s located on Belle Plaine’s busiest downtown intersection – Main and Meridian streets. The seller, Neil Keohane, 73, was retiring after over 33 years of ownership of the bar. He bought what was then Krant’s Bar/Rustic Room in 1981. *The Belle Plaine City Coun-

Neil Keohane, left, sold Neil’s Pub/Rustic Room to Ryan Neisen, who renamed the business Neisen’s Corner Bar. The change took effect Nov. 2.

cil approved a land-purchase agreement with Eric and Lisa May for the acquisition of 702 South Meridian Street for $277,000 for replacement housing and relocation costs. The property will be part of the right-of-way for the future overpass near the intersection of Highway 169 and County Road 3/Meridian Street. *A total of 1,879 people cast ballots at the Belle Plaine Government Center in the Nov. 4 General Election. That accounted for 53.34 percent of the city’s 3,523 registered voters, which was about three percentage points over the state average. In the only contested race for a Belle Plaine city office, incumbents Paul Chard and Scott Schneider both gained four more years on the city council with 988 and 982 votes, respectively. Belle Plaine Park Board Chair Chris Kehr had 847 votes. Mayor Mike Pingalore, who had no challengers, was easily reelected for another two years with 1,331 votes. There were 332 write-in votes. In the race for Scott County attorney, Belle Plaine cast 870 votes for winner Ron Hocevar and 785 votes for James Terwedo. Kevin Studnicka of Belle Plaine was reelected sheriff after receiving no opposition. He collected 1,532 votes in Belle Plaine. There were 33 write-ins. In “all” state and U.S. races, Belle Plaine voters, as well as the townships of Belle Plaine, Blakeley and St. Lawrence, sided with the Republican candidate. Still, in the state’s two biggest races, Gov. Mark Dayton (D) and U.S. Sen. Al Franken (D) were easily reelected. Absent from the ballot was Republican Rep. Kelby Woodard of Belle Plaine. Woodard, who had been a rising star for the party in the state House, announced in April that he would not seek re-election. He said he’d been asked to help start a new Catholic high school in Dallas, Texas, and would not be on the ballot in 2014. Fellow Republican Bob Vogel of Elko New Market won the election to replace Woodard in District 20A. *The Belle Plaine High School volleyball team equaled its highest placing ever at the state tournament, bringing home third place following a 3-2 victory over Maple River at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul on Nov. 8. The Tigers had opened the tournament Nov. 6 with a 3-1 triumph over Rocori. But what Belle Plaine may remember most from its 2014 state tournament experience is the match that was sandwiched between those two victories – a heartbreaking 3-2 loss on Nov. 7 to three-time defending state Class 2A champion Marshall. It was the closest the Tigers ever came to reaching the state championship match, which was won the following day by Stewartville after it rallied from a set down to beat Marshall in another five-set thriller, ending Marshall’s three-year title reign. Belle Plaine finished the season with a record of 6-1 in the Minnesota River Conference, which was good enough to share the crown with Jordan and Sibley East. The Tigers were 24-11 overall. Gaining all-conference honors for Belle Plaine were juniors Kaylee Hentges and

Members and coaches of the BPHS volleyball team took time out for a photo opportunity with their state Class 2A thirdplace trophy on Nov. 8 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. Standing, from left, are head coach Cassie Koch, McKenzie Koepp, Mariena Hayden, Mia Pribyl, Dakotah Poitra, Ally Anderson, Amelia Kahle, Kaylee Hentges, and assistant coaches Chelsea Buesgens and Lyle Noah. In the front are assistant coach Chelsey Earney, Taylor Kruger, Paige Narveson, Elizabeth Johnson, Abbie Siegle and Danielle Taylor. The Tigers should be poised to make another deep run at the state tournament in 2015 as Kahle was the only senior on this year’s team.

Joe Hankins and Emilyn Siemon were crowned Belle Plaine High School’s 2014 homecoming king and queen Oct. 6. Dakotah Poitra, and sophomore Elizabeth Johnson. Sophomore Danielle Taylor received honorable mention. *A Belle Plaine man, Tyler Scott Evans, was killed Nov. 10 in a single-vehicle crash on County Road 40 in San Francisco Township. Evans, 32, was southbound on County Road 40 when his vehicle slid into the ditch. The road conditions in the area were slippery due to snow. *The Belle Plaine City Council approved a request by local businessman Ashton Pankonin for a $40,000 loan from the city’s revolving loan fund so that he could purchase the Main Street Professional Building at 104/106 East Main Street downtown (next to the Canopy Group Building). Pankonin, who formerly headed the Edward Jones financial advisor office in Belle Plaine before joining Waddell & Reed at 215 North Meridian Street, made the loan request on behalf of Pankonin Enterprises LLC.

*Citing the demands of an increasingly active family and career, Belle Plaine School Board Chair Matt Bigaouette announced on Nov. 24 that he was resigning from the board at the end of 2014. The school board unanimously accepted his resignation and approved plans to appoint a successor for the final year of Bigaouette’s term.

December

*Not one resident other than

the Belle Plaine City Council and some staff were in attendance for the city’s annual budget and tax levy public hearing on Dec. 1. Before opening the public hearing, Finance Director Dawn Meyer explained that the preliminary levy approved in September ($4,800,954) had been reduced by $88,200, resulting in an increase of 4.1 percent rather than 6.1 percent (from $4,800,954 to $4,712,754). The city’s total tax levy for 2015 will be $5,023,224, but with state local government aid totaling $310,470, the net levy amount would be reduced to the $4,712,754 figure. *During a workshop on Dec. 1, the Belle Plaine City Council agreed to reduce its asking price for nearly six acres of industrial/commercial-zoned property it owns near the public works facility south of Highway 169. The city purchased the site (just west of the then Westerman Lumber building) from private property owners totaling $1,035,740 in 2008 to reserve for a possible new public works facility or perhaps sell it to industrial/commercial interests. Over a half-dozen years later, the property remains unsold and vacant. The city agreed to reduce the asking price to $3 per square foot, which based on 5.7 acres of buildable property, comes to $744, 876. That’s about one-fourth less than what the city paid for the site in 2008. *The Belle Plaine Historical Society held an Old-Fashioned Christmas Open House Dec. 4, which featured live music and visits with Mr. and Mrs. Claus. The following Saturday (Dec. 6) Belle Plaine High School was the site of another wellattended Holiday Express. *The warm and muggy conditions of Dec. 13-15 broke temperature records in the Twin Cities. The record high temperature of Dec. 15 was broken with a high of 51 degrees that was reached at 4:45 a.m. This broke the old record of 49 degrees set in 1923. In addition, a new warm minimum record was set on Dec. 14 with a low of 43 degrees. This broke the old record of 38 degrees in 1891. *Ross Nesbit Agencies at 124 West Main Street downtown

announced it was relocating to 111 South Meridian Street at the start of 2015. According to Jay Nesbit of Ross Nesbit Agencies’ main office in Eden Prairie, the purchase of the building, which was owned for many years by Fahey Sales Agency, was finalized and Ross Nesbit Agencies would move in Jan. 1. Nesbit said Edina Realty will continue as a tenant in the building. Fahey Sales Agency also operated an office in the building until relocating to Glencoe two years ago. Fahey Sales Agency still meets with clients in the building from time to time through its affiliation with Edina Realty.

*Selecting someone who’ll learn the particulars of the job as she goes and is willing to run for a four-year term next fall, the Belle Plaine School Board on Dec. 19 selected Tracy O’Brien to fill the last year of Matt Bigaouette’s term. Bigaouette had recently resigned his seat on the board to dedicate more time to family and work. By a 3-2 vote, the board picked O’Brien over former board member Gary Steinhagen. Directors Matt Lenz, Dan Giesen and Joe Vandermark voted for O’Brien. She will be sworn-in to the school board at its organizational meeting on Jan. 12. *Belle Plaine and the rest of the Twin Cities region missed out on a white Christmas by just a little over a day as a few inches of snow fell the night of Dec. 26, turning what were some green (not brown) lawns white following a very mild and damp December. Belle Plaine and the rest of the area was treated to a white New Year’s as temperatures stayed below the freezing mark Christmas through New Year’s.

Deaths

Robert W. Schlicht Pastor Robert W. Schlicht entered his heavenly home on January 7, 2015 after being hospitalized at Arrowhead Hospital in Glendale, Arizona. The Christian Funeral will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, January 19 at Trinity Ev. Lutheran Church in Belle Plaine with Pastor John Meyer officiating. Visitation will precede worship from 9-11 a.m. Burial at The Lutheran Home Cemetery will follow lunch at the church. Though the nation suffered during the summer of the second year of the Great Depression, the Lord brought joy to the home of Carl and Ida (nee Schatzke) Schlicht by blessing them with the safe birth of their first child, a son they named Robert William. His birth in Coon Valley, Wisconsin, on July 7, 1931 brought happiness to many in the small community. God blessed Robert to be born to a faithful Christian couple who followed their Savior’s command by bringing their son to also become a son in the family of Christ through Holy Baptism. This miracle of new life took place on August 2, 1931 at St. Peter’s Ev. Lutheran Church in Chaseburg, WI with Pastor E. H. Palechek as officient. His sponsors were William Schlicht and Bertha Schaetzke. The faith begun at Robert’s baptism grew in both grace and knowledge through his elementary education at First Lutheran Elementary School in La Crosse, WI. On March 25, 1945, at First Ev. Lutheran Church – in a class that included his brother Earl – he celebrated his Lutheran Confirmation with Pastor Walter A. Schumann as his instructor in the Word. After one year of high school in La Crosse, Robert (“Bob”) transferred to Dr. Martin Luther High School in New Ulm, Minnesota and graduated in 1949. With a desire to prepare for the pastoral ministry, he continued his education at Northwestern College in Watertown, WI and graduated in 1953; and at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, WI. As part of his Seminary training, Bob’s vicar year was spent organizing the first WELS congregation in Canada; Our Savior’s Ev. Lutheran in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Robert graduated from the Seminary in 1957 and received God’s call to serve Immanuel Ev. Lutheran Church in Globe, Neillsville, WI. In 1959, the Lord led him to accept the call of Trinity Ev. Lutheran in Belle Plaine, MN. He served as their pastor until 1976; during which time a new church and school were built. During 1961, Pastor Bob was also called to serve as the administrator of The Lutheran Home in Belle Plaine. This service, after 15 years, expanded when he was called to be chaplain and administrator full-time in 1976. God richly blessed his service at “The Home” through several building expansions including the Hope Residence, the first

home for those with mental disabilities in the WELS, and by personal growth into being the first President and CEO of The Lutheran Home Association. Robert served the aging community within the WELS: where he served on the Special Ministries Board and co-founded the Organization of WELS Lutheran Seniors; and nationally: where he twice served as national president of The American College of Health Care Administrators and was awarded as the Administrator of the Year in 1982 by the Association of American Homes for the Aged. Our Lord gave Pastor Bob a very diverse set of interests and skills as reflected by his being a member in the Audio Engineering Society of America, being a Certified Fund Raising Executive, being a registered Locksmith, and being a member of the American Society of Association Executives. He retired in 1994, but still served in areas of pastoral, personal, and family ministry. During Robert’s years at Dr. Martin Luther High School, the Lord lead him to meet and fall in love with Loretta Mae Manthe from Pemberton, MN. After a lengthy courtship, they were given special permission to marry before his vicar year (due to the remoteness of his vicaring location). Pastor E. E. Kolander represented the Lord as they exchanged their vows of Christian marriage on July 23, 1955 at St. John’s Ev. Lutheran Church in Alma City, MN. God blessed their marriage with two sons, Stephen and Daniel. Loretta and Bob’s marriage endured, with God’s strength, through severe heart problems for her, the loss of three fingers on his right hand for him and a major car accident for both of them. In His wisdom, the Lord ended their wedded partnership by calling Loretta to her heavenly home on Bob’s birthday in 1992. On January 14, 1995, God blessed long-time friend and coworker Lois Dahlke and Pastor Bob to join their lives in Christian marriage. Their wedding took place at their Schalet near Belle Plaine, MN. His brother, Pastor Dennis, preached; his son, Pastor Steve, officiated, and their children served as their wedding party. They lived in Belle Plaine for a time, then moved to a rural home in Henderson, MN, and finally moved to Phoenix, Arizona. Lois and Bob enjoyed 12 years of marriage before the Lord called Lois to heaven on March 23, 2007. Pastor Bob has lived these last years alone in his home, but richly blessed by the great support of neighbors Warren and Ardella Shaub, Pastor Ross Else, and many members of Emmaus Ev. Lutheran Church in Phoenix. Bob’s heavenly Father asked him to let his faith shine through almost three years of increasing challenges in health. The Lord permitted Pastor Bob’s sons to be at his side when He ended this struggle and called His servant to the home Jesus won for him. Among those who will dearly miss him in this life, but, who in Christian faith rejoice that Robert is in heaven are his sons and daughter-in-law, Stephen and Kathleen, and Daniel; stepchildren, Renee (Paul) King, Douglas Dahlke and Darwin (Susy) Dahlke; grandchildren, Sarah (Matt), Samuel, Lydia and Peter (fiancé Rachel); greatgranddaughter, Isabel; brothers and sisters-in-law, Earl (Doris), Dennis (Cheryl), Arlene Manthe and Isabel Schlicht; nieces and nephews from both the Manthe and Schlicht families; and step-grandchildren; other relatives, and friends. By the grace of God, we may be confident of a blessed reunion with Pastor Bob and all who have fallen asleep in Jesus. Robert is preceded in death by two infant brothers, Carl, Jr. and Marvin; parents; first wife, Loretta; second wife, Lois; and brother, Stanley.

Tony is survived by daughter, Anita (Jerry) Benson of Gainesville, Georgia; brother, Leander Worm of Belle Plaine; sister, Leonette Landers of St. Paul; three grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

Elizabeth “Betty” Kroells Elizabeth “Betty” Kroells, 86, lifelong resident of Belle Plaine, passed away January 9, 2015, at The Lutheran Home in Belle Plaine with her family at her side. Mass of Christian Burial was at 11 a.m. Tuesday, January, 13 at Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic Church in Belle Plaine, with Father Tim Yanta presiding. Burial was at Sacred Heart Cemetery. Friends greeted the family from 4-8 p.m. Monday, January 12, in the gathering space at Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic Church, and one hour prior to the Mass. Betty was born December 1, 1928 in Faxon Township rural Sibley County, the daughter of Bernard and Nora (Donlon) McPartlan. She attended country school in rural Sibley County and later graduated from Belle Plaine High School in 1946. Betty was united in marriage to Leo Kroells on October 8, 1947 in Belle Plaine.

Le Sueur-Henderson School Board Opens 2015 With Fireworks

Garden Lecture Series to Begin Jan. 15 in Henderson Just as Minnesota winter temperatures dip and seed catalogs start arriving in our mailboxes also means the Henderson Public Library brings to us a garden lecture series packed with talented and entertaining garden book authors and experts. Back by popular demand, Tim Kenny, Director Arboretum Education of the MN Landscape Arboretum, “digs in” the Garden Series Thursday January 15 at 7 p.m.. Kenny will share a preview of upcoming new Arboretum features, including the Bee Pollinator Center and the

Red Barn Farm Garden. He will also share his new favorite vegetable varieties for your edible garden. There will be time for gardening questions and some take home seeds. Join us for a terrific 2015 Henderson Public Library Garden Lecture Series, which will be held the third Thursday of each month January through April. An additional lecture will take place March 5. All lectures are free and open to the public. Complimentary refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Henderson Public Library.

Chaska Resident Asks City Council to OK Chickens in Town Chaska joined the list of suburban communities that will consider permitting residents to maintain chicken coops in backyards. The council will consider Kristin Bartley’s request to allow hens in fully covered weather and predator-proof coops. Roosters will not be allowed under the proposal. The proposal also includes a provision that grain for the hens must be stored in a rodent-proof container. Chaska City Administrator Matt Podhradsky said the coun-

cil would address Bartley’s request during the first quarter of 2015, the Chaska Herald recently reported. Shakopee approved an ordinance allowing backyard chickens last summer. Chanhassen nixed a 2009 proposal for the backyard birds, citing concerns over public health and the hens becoming a public nuisance. Victoria said no to the proposal as well. Bartley is looking for the city to permit up to five hens in the name of green living and sustainability.

SCHS Receives Two Grants The Scott County Historical Society announce that it was awarded two Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage (Legacy) Grants – one for $10,000 to conduct research for a series of guided biking and walking tours, and one for $9,951 to catalogue the Werner Studio Photograph Collection project. The purpose of the Research Guided Biking and Walking Tour Project is to conduct research in preparation for a series of guided biking and walking tours. A consultant will research the early geographic history of the county; Dakota village life along the Minnesota River; the impact of early settlers on the land; the impact of natural disasters such as flooding on Scott County towns; how the natural environment has spawned numerous businesses and industries in Scott County since the 1800s; and the ways the landscape has changed as towns and industries continue to grow. Research summaries will be used by museum staff members to create tour scripts, brochures and website content that will serve the museum’s communities. The research summaries will also be available in the SCHS library. The project

began earlier this winter with completion in 2015. The purpose of the Werner Studio Photograph Collection Project is to catalog the Werner Studio Photograph Collection owned by the Scott County Historical Society (SCHS). In 1908, Wilbur Werner purchased Howard Oerter’s photography studio in downtown Chaska and reopened it as The Werner Studio. Wilbur Werner passed away in 1937. His wife Margaret and daughter Lolo Claire took over the studio and ran it until the 1960s. At some point, the negatives and prints owned by The Werner Studio were donated to the Chaska Historical Society (CHS) and in 2005 CHS transferred just under 1,000 photographs from that collection to the SCHS. While the images were produced by a photography studio in Carver County, the collection covers a variety of people and places in Scott County between circa 1925 and circa 1965. The project will begin in April 2015 and end in November 2015. Scott County Historical Society is located at 235 Fuller Street South in Shakopee.

by Wess McConville Three new members of the Le Sueur-Henderson School Board members were swornin to office and Director Bill Floyd started his second term on Monday (Jan. 5). But the organizational meeting’s quickly turned from congenial to contentious as new member Andrea Faches accused School Board Chairperson Nikki Kiemele of inadvertently violating the state’s open meeting law. Faches herself was later accused of the same violation from new member Brian Wiederich. The issue stemmed from an e-mail Kiemele sent to a board member-elect earlier in the afternoon Monday (Jan. 5), asking for support, as the position of chairperson was up for election. The violation occurred when after asking for support, Kiemele asked, “If you have any questions, please contact me.” The offer of a potential discussion, according to Bob Lowe of the Minnesota School Board Association, who Faches notified of the e-mail, violates the open meeting law because it is, “asking for a response and initiates discussion that will not be heard by the public.” The e-mail would not have been in violation if it had stated that she was seeking the chairperson position and would appreciate another board mem-

ber’s consideration. Faches said, “Part of the reason I ran for school board was so that we can maintain candor, transparency, honesty and I feel this effort went against all of those things.”

A ‘Learning Mistake’

Kiemele, who acknowledged that an open meeting law was violated and to a “bad choice of words,” and a “learning mistake,” said, “My only intent was to inform (the e-mail recipient(s) that I was interested in being re-elected as a chair I have spent the last year in this position and I have worked very hard to learn what it means to be a chair, to understand what it means to work as a team, to work with administration and to work with our superintendent.” Faches continued to press the board on what action should be taken since, what she dubbed “an ethical violation” had occurred. Director Brian Wiederich, who requested for a closed meeting to discuss this issue, said he had a conversation with Faches prior to the meeting and that she solicited him for a vote for board chairperson and asked him for a nomination or to second a nomination. “I can’t ethically sit here and hear one of our board members being challenged in a way that is inconsistent,” he said.

Faches denied this was the context of the conversation, but Wiederich said that was his interpretation. Faches said her intent of the conversation was to “assist this board because she has more experience than Nikki does.” She said she did not ask Wiederich to nominate or second her, she just stated her intent to run, which is not a violation of the open meeting law. Following this, Kiemele, visibly displaying frustration, made a motion to move on with the election of officers. Up for election was the board chairperson, the vice chairperson, clerk and treasurer positions. The motion to move ahead with the election passed, 7-0, with the open meeting violation was not mentioned again. Kiemele retained her role as chairperson over Faches by a 5-2 vote. New member Terry Spence nominated Faches, and incumbent Amy Hardel nominated Kiemele. Bill Floyd gained the vice chairperson seat over Faches by a vote of 4-3. Kiemele nominated Floyd and Spence nominated Faches. Wiederich’s vote went to Faches for this position. Amy Hardel was voted clerk and Lisa Steinborn became treasurer by votes of 7-0 as there were no other nominations for clerk and Spence turned down his nomination for treasurer from Faches.

Jordan Seeking State Money for Brewery Hill Stabilization Last June’s storms led to the collapse of a portion of the hill behind the historic Jordan Brewery. City and county leaders are now seeking money from the state to stabilize and repair the hill so the brewery can be preserved. Representatives of the county and its cities in SCALE are backing a bill seeking $21.6 million for repairing damage caused by the storm. In Jordan, the city estimates the cost of stabilizing the hillside behind the brewery overlooking Highway 21 at $7.76 million. Last week, just before the Minnesota Legislature reconvened, SCALE representatives asked about prioritizing repair projects, the Jordan Independent recently reported. Jordan city officials are concerned the move to prioritize is a sign the project in Jordan may fall by the wayside. Jordan city officials see the project as a top priority. Jordan did fund an engineer’s initial assessment of the stabilization project, but the city is

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Chief of Staff Dr. James P. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly, 33, Belle Plaine family practice specialist, was elected chief of staff of Queen of Peace Hospital in New Prague in 1985. Dr. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly, who was associated with the Belle Plaine and Henderson clinics, succeeded Dr. John M. Berg. This photo was taken in front of a number of photos of staff members. About 100 farmers and their wives from five counties turned out that Thursday at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church north of Belle Plaine to learn what they could do about the plight of the family farm. An organizer for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Groundswell â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;85â&#x20AC;? urged farmers and businessmen to turn out for the event at the State Capitol on Jan. 21 â&#x20AC;&#x153;to demonstrate that something is wrongâ&#x20AC;? on Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family farms. It was predicted that 25 percent of Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family farms would be foreclosed in 1985. The planning committee for Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Star Cities Program would meet that coming Thursday at the Civic Center to begin developing the strategies for economic development in the city. City Administrator Dave Unmacht said further assistance from the public was needed by the committee to â&#x20AC;&#x153;achieve the designation as a Minnesota Star City for economic development.â&#x20AC;? The president of Shakopee Services, the sanitation company responsible for garbage pickup in Belle Plaine, defended the $1 hike in garbage pickup rates that took effect Jan. 1. Norbert Schmitt said his company increased the cost per household to offset the landfill abatement tax. The Belle Plaine Knights of Columbus was sponsoring a free bus trip for anyone who wanted to attend the Pro-Life Rally at the State Capitol the following Tuesday, which was the 12th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortions in the United States. Scott County Public Health officials confirmed that there was a widespread shortage of DPT, a vaccine widely used to immunize children against diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus, to counteract lockjaw. State Bank of Belle Plaine President Kevin G. Gaffney announced four staff promotions

With the organization of the state legislature, Rep. M.R. Moriarty was assigned to the following committees: Judiciary Welfare, Temperance and Liquor Control, Veterans and Military Affairs, Aircraft and Airways. Miss Phyllis Hartman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Phil Hartman of Belle Plaine, and Russell Harmeyer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Harmeyer of Le Sueur, were united in marriage at St. Peter and Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church in Belle Plaine. A three-day blizzard gave Rev.

The Republican from ElkoNew Market was one of four generations of Vogels with deep area roots on hand for the swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol in St. Paul. He is the third generation in his family to own New Market Bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is so humbling to stand on the floor of the House chamber and be sworn into office,â&#x20AC;? said Vogel, who represents District 20A, encompassing the western portion of Le Sueur County and the southern portion of Scott, including Belle Plaine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would not be in this position without the incredible support I received from my family along the way, so it was extra sweet to share this moment with them.â&#x20AC;? Vogel served on the Scott County Board of Commissioners from 2002-2008, chairing the panel in 2005 and 2008. He said he will draw from experience gained serving that group and stick with the same common-sense approach to issues that proved successful with it. 120 Years Ago â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question the state (1895) faces complicated issues, but Wood was a cheap fuel.

It will keep all three grades of students in one building, with gym space, in one expanded and renovated building.

Congratulations and thank you to Ollie Heitkamp who was recognized on Saturday for his 58 years of service to the Belle Plaine Schools as an official scorekeeper at volleyball and basketball games.

Congratulations on your election to this leadership position, Raja! With the legislative session underway, Governor Dayton and members of the House and Senate have been presenting detail about their education proposals. Governor Dayton continues to follow the path he set forth in 2011 when he unveiled his 7 Point Plan for Education. The Governor has made progress on a number of these goals and continues to move forward focused on these major points entering the 2015 session. The Plan includes the following priorities: 1. Funding for the Future – This includes funding for early learning programs as well as continued funding for the basic formula that impacts all students across the state. 2. Better Early Childhood Education – This includes efforts to expand the K-12 system into a comprehensive pre K – 12 system. 3. Raise the Bar – Close the Gap – Sets accountability targets to close the achievement gaps between various student subgroups. 4. Reading Well by Third Grade – A focused effort on ensuring that all students are proficient in reading by the conclusion of their third grade year. 5. Support for Better Schools – This includes alternative licensure for teachers to address areas of teacher shortages, principal and teacher evaluation programs and highly qualified training for PreK teachers. 6. Better Testing for Better Results – A move to more online assessments to provide more rapid turnaround of assessment results. 7. A Department that Provides Educational Leadership and Support – The Department has transitioned to an organization that provides leadership and support to school districts across the state rather than a punitive agency that seeks to find misScott and County personnel. Legaltakes Notices in implementation by districts Board Proceedings As the session continues to play out and the various House and Senate education proposals are brought forward, I will continue to monitor and report on this important work.

WHAT BENEFITS YOU MOST?

Thank you to the voters of Belle Plaine for your support and conﬁdence in voting for me for City Council.

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

St. Peter City Council Tells Residents, Don’t Feed the Deer The St. Peter City Council has a simple message to a resident who feed deer living in the area. Stop. The city is concerned about possible health and safety issues associated with deer attracted to a feeders residential properties along First Street and continuing to wander through the area. The city had considered enacting an ordinance outlawing the practice of feeding but decided to rely on a state statute addressing public nuisances. The St. Peter city attorney believes the state statute would be more effective than a city

ordinance, the St. Peter Herald recently reported. A resident in the First Street area has reportedly been feeding deer for years. Residents have complained to police in previous years about the feeding and deer it attracts. There have been no complaints called in so far this year. St. Peter City Administrator Todd Prafke if the city receives complaints this year, police will investigate and possible charge the person feeding the deer with a nuisance crime, a gross misdemeanor.

Bus Service Begins Rolling from New Carver Station It took years of planning and plenty of funding from the city, county and federal governments, but public bus transportation from the new Carver Station began rolling Jan. 5.

gional employment centers or schools in Bloomington and Richfield, the Chaska Herald recently reported. Bus schedules are available on Southwest Transit’s Web site – southwesttransit.org – or at Carver City Hall. Eight years in the planning, the $4.43 million project – includes over 400 parking spaces and a 1,134-square-foot transit station south of Highway 212 south of County Road 11.

It allowed them access to the fire without having to walk through a few feet of standing water. Once at the farmhouse, the backhoe gave firefighters the approach they needed to fully extinguish the fire. Because the sub-zero temper-

H.S. Girls’ Basketball

Tigers Fall to NYA and St. Peter by Dan Ruud Not even 34 points and 17 rebounds by Mariena Hayden in a home game against TriCity United Friday night could notch a conference win for the Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team as the Titans prevailed 72-61. On Saturday afternoon, the Tigers dropped a nonconference game to visiting St. Peter 49-42. The Tigers, 0-2 in the Minnesota River Conference, 2-9 overall, were scheduled to head to Jordan for a MRC game Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press. Belle Plaine has two more tough MRC games on the slate this week – at Mayer Lutheran this Friday and at home against Norwood Young America next Tuesday. Both games are scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. TCU 72, Tigers 61 The Tigers surrendered 42 points in the first half as TriCity United improved to 2-0 in the MRC and Belle Plaine slipped to 0-2. “We were not into this game at all in the first half,” said Tigers coach Randy Carlson. “We were slow and did not play hard. We

need to learn how to prepare for a game and be more consistent defensively. We were awful at times. The rest of the time we were just okay. We got killed on the board as they outhustled us. “Offensively, we were okay,” Carlson continued. “We moved the ball well and did some good things. But we need some people to step up and make shots. Mariena Hayden had a good game offensively and was aggressive.” Carlson added that what made the loss so disappointing was the overall lack of effort by his team. “We value the trait of playing hard, smart and having fun. If we do that, everything else will take care of itself.” Hayden’s 34 points accounted for more than half of the Tigers’ scoring. Haleigh Weiers added eight points, followed by Elizabeth Johnson with seven. The other scorers were Paige Narveson (5), Torrie Kellogg (4), Amelia Kahle (2) and Alissa Schultz (1). Joslyn Vargo netted 26 points for the Titans, including 22 in the first half.

St. Peter 49, Tigers 42 St. Peter came to Belle Plaine with a record of 8-0 and managed to leave Saturday 9-0 but not without a fight by the struggling Tigers, who trailed by just 21-20 at halftime. “St. Peter is a very good team that is rated No. 3 in the state,” Carlson said. “We played hard and good things happened. Elizabeth Johnson did a great job breaking their pressure defense and getting us into our offense. It was good to see Paige Narveson hit some shots . . . We had a lot of people score tonight and that is important for us to be more balanced. Progress is being made but we have more work to do.” Although she was limited to five points against St. Peter’s 6-3 post and Division I recruit Olivia Hass, Carlson said he was pleased with Hayden’s effort to keep attacking the basket. He said Kellogg also played well inside. Hass, who recently signed a letter of intent to play basketball at the University of North Dakota, had a game-high 20 points. Narveson led Belle Plaine in scoring with 15 points, followed by Megan Schmitz (7), Hayden (5), Ireland Lambrecht (5), Kellogg (4), Schultz (3), Kahle (2) and Johnson (1). Hayden and Kellogg led Belle Plaine in rebounds with 10 and eight, respectively. Johnson had four assists and four steals, both team highs.

H.S. Boys’ Basketball

Belle Plaine Drops Two More by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School boys’ basketball team stayed close to both of its opponents last week but the outcomes were the same as they had been in eight of the nine previous games this season as the Tigers fell to Tri-City United 57-47 on Friday and St. Peter 69-63 on Saturday. “These two games were very similar,” said Belle Plaine coach John Wellner. “We are definitely playing better and we were so close to winning both of them. The difference right now is doing small things like being in the right spots defensively so we can help on drives, keeping under control on offense and communicating with each other all the time. Our season is just at the halfway point. The players are hard workers and we will get much better at these things.” The Tigers, 1-3 in the Minnesota River Conference, 1-10 overall, were scheduled to travel to Jordan for a MRC game Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press. At 7:30 p.m. this Friday, they will host Mayer Lutheran, which began this week 0-4 in conference play. Belle Plaine will head to Norwood Young America for another MRC contest 7:30 p.m. next Tuesday. TCU 57, Tigers 47 Belle Plaine led 29-28 at halftime but was outscored 29-18 in the second half en route to a 10-point loss at Tri-City United Friday night, improving the Titans to 4-0 in the MRC. The game was originally scheduled for Thursday but was pushed back a day due to cold weather. The Tigers’ Luke Narveson had a game-high 18 points. He also had eight rebounds and three assists. Taylor Lenz chipped in seven points, fol-

lowed by Mitchel Stier (5), Nathan Hermann (5), Derek Guscette (4), Kincade Retzer (4), Branden Schulz (2) and Sam Gregory (2). Hermann had a team-high 11 rebounds, while like Narveson, Lenz and Stier both had eight rebounds. Schulz had three assists and three steals. Joe Hankins had four assists. Belle Plaine made just five of 11 free throw attempts and was 6 of 21 from three-point range. Carter Rynda led TCU with 15 points and 11 rebounds. St. Peter 69, Tigers 63 The Tigers trailed the Saints by just 63-61 but were outscored 6-2 in the final minute of Saturday’s matinee at the BPHS gym. Narveson again was tops in scoring in the game with 22 points, followed by Stier (14), Hermann (7), Hankins (6), Guscette (4), Lenz (4), Ponath (4) and Schulz (2). Stier, Narveson and Hermann were the rebounding leaders with seven, six and five, respectively. Schulz had four assists.

Layout for the proposed overpass near the intersection of Highway 169 and County Road 3. With his wife, Luella, and children (from left) Sharon Blume, Jenny Heitkamp, Diane Keup and (not pictured) Kent Heitkamp on hand, Ollie Heitkamp was honored for 58 years of service to the school and its activities Saturday between the BPHS girls’ and boys’ basketball games against St. Peter.

Belle Plaine Schools Thank Heitkamp for 58 Years of Service

He was hired by his hometown school district in 1956, a young man looking for a teaching job and the chance to coach and make a positive impact in the lives of young people. Saturday, Belle Plaine thanked Ollie Heitkamp for 58 years of dedicated service. Heitkamp’s resume includes 31 years as a teacher. He coached basketball for 14 seasons. After his coaching days were completed, Heitkamp took to the scorer’s table from 1970 through the 2014 season. He worked the scorebook or game clock for girls’ basketball for 22 years and 40 seasons for the boys’ teams. He also worked the table for the BPHS volleyball team for 25 years. “I was so proud of my dad for all that he gave to the BP schools. He was gone often, but I never felt we lacked, as he made sure we had great family times every week, especially outdoors, said his daughter, Sharon Blume. “I know how much he loved to be at the high school sporting events. When I played basketball, all I had to do was look over at the score table and he was there.” He didn’t know much about volleyball. Heitkamp, always a quick study, learned the game on the fly since his daughters played volleyball. “I was always encouraged to play sports in addition to doing well in classes. It was great to have my parents at games,” said Jenny Heitkamp. “As I got older and moved out (of the family home), dad would still call me to let me know how the girls basketball or volleyball teams were doing. He was

The guidelines state that interchanges on the principal arterial system should be spaced at a minimum of one mile . . . Exceptions to this policy can be noted throughout the region. However, in this case an exception could not be made because sufficient need is not demonstrated.” For the city’s current overpass plan (Alternative 2B), Mn/DOT

As for the remaining $4 million to $5 million that would be needed to pay for the project, Kreft said that could come from a combination of funds on hand and issuance of a Municipal State Aid bond. “Mark Ruff from Ehlers and Associates (the city’s financial advisor) will attend a future council work session to discuss the bond and details once all

Happy 100th Birthday With dozens of family and friends on hand, Genevieve Schommer of Belle Plaine celebrated her 100th birthday Saturday afternoon (Jan. 10) at Cardinal Ridge Apartments in Belle Plaine. She was born Jan. 9, 1915 and grew up on the family farm along County Road 3 south of Highway 169, the oldest of Elizabeth and John Schommer’s five children. Genevieve lived much of her life in St. Paul, working in a department store and providing childcare services for the Spicer family before moving back to Belle Plainer several years ago. Genevieve lives independently and has no specific secrets to a long life, but she makes a point of at least once a day walking up the steps to her apartment instead of using an elevator. She is pictured with her younger brother, Joe (left; he’s 91) and her late sister Barbara’s husband, Leo Mader of New Prague.

In November, the council approved a land-purchase agreement with Eric and Lisa May for the acquisition of 702 South Meridian Street for $277,000 for replacement housing and relocation costs. The property will be part of the necessary right-of-way for the overpass. Kreft reported that the city has also spent approximately $256,800 in recent years on engineering fees related to design services and grant applications for the overpass project.
