Ridgeview Gets Another Extension of Closing Date for Property Purchase

Belle Plaine’s Angela and Jeremy Kalal have two cars in their driveway ready for Saturday’s Scott County Fair Demolition Derby at 7 p.m. in the grandstand. The two teachers are veteran demo derby drivers.

by Dan Ruud For the third time in nine months, the Belle Plaine City Council Monday night unanimously granted a request by Ridgeview Medical Center for an extension of the closing date for the property purchase agreement it has with the city. Last August, the council okayed the execution of the purchase agreement, which was $1 for city-owned land at the northwest corner of Highway 169 and County Road 3/Meridian Street. The original closing date was Dec. 1, 2015.

Due to ongoing discussions with The Lutheran Home Association regarding a partnership in an expanded project (a senior housing complex added to the health clinic), the council last November agreed to extend the deadline for the closing date to May 1. In March of this year, the council, at Ridgeview’s request for the same reason, extended the closing date to Aug. 1, which as a result of this past Monday’s action now extends it to Oct. 1. “Ridgeview has requested an additional extension to the clos-

ing in order to ﬁnalize plans from The Lutheran Home Association for senior living as part of the project and to ﬁnalize documents associated with the development,” states the newest resolution. Three weeks ago (July 5), the council voted 3-2 to approve a replat and amended planned unit development for Ridgeview the Heath Campus. The replat includes a new lot that will create the potential to transfer fee ownership of the lot

B.P. Couple Ready for Saturday’s Scott County Fair Demo Derby

In about a month, they’ll be standing in front of students, teaching them important lessons. The organized calm of their classrooms is a stark contrast to this weekend when Angela and Jeremy Kalal will be crashing their cars as hard and as often as they can into their fellow competitors. Angela Kalal teaches fourth grade at Oak Crest Elementary School in Belle Plaine. Her husband, Jeremy, teaches junior high science in New Prague. Saturday night (July 30, 7 p.m.) at the Scott County Fairgrounds Grandstand, the duo will be more concerned about strategies for minimizing the damage to their cars while inﬂicting maximum damage to others. Lesson plans can wait. “You drive as fast as you can to crash into someone,” Jeremy said. “There’s nothing like it.” The husband-wife duo enjoys good-natured competition, both against the other demolition derby drivers and each other. Angela knows she has won as many trophies as her husband if the sledgehammer for the hardest hit delivered during last year’s powder puff demo derby is counted. Jeremy knows his last trophy, which sits in their son Cooper’s bedroom,

is slightly larger than Angela’s biggest trophy. “It’s all about the trophy,” Angela said sarcastically. She admits she doesn’t like to do things she’s not good at. “I’m very competitive.” Angela has won the powder puff class twice at the Scott County Fair and twice at the Le Sueur County Fair. Jeremy will be driving a 1976 Dodge Saturday night. Angela’s entry is a ’74 Chrysler Imperial. The couple has no significant attachment to Mopar vehicles. In a sport where finding suitable vehicles to reduce to hulks of twisted steel and sheet metal is becoming increasingly difficult, they stick with vehicles where parts can be switched from one year’s car to another. Angela’s father, Randy Jabs, organized and officiated demolition derbies at the county fair for several years. He and friends build demo derby cars in the shop at their home in Jordan. Angela and Jeremy both grew up in Jordan. Angela entered her first demo derby at 15. She’s entered about a dozen demo derbies over the past 18 years. Her father and uncle, Ken, built her first car.

‘Scared Out of My Mind.’

“They built me a fresh car, forged my name,” she said. Demo drivers back then had to be at least 16. “It just looked fun. I was scared out of my mind.” Angela recalls her first time in a car waiting for the demo derby to begin. She was so nervous she could hardly keep her foot on the car’s throttle. Angela was hit and took a deep breath. She then hit someone and had to take an even deeper breath. From that point on, she Over 100 adults and children took a break from the heat and stifling humidity Friday (July 22) was fine.

Noteables Concert Aug. 5 The Noteables will again be sharing their world of song in their upcoming concert, “It’s a Wonderful World.” The concert will be Friday, Aug. 5 at 7 p.m. in the Le Sueur/ Henderson Middle/High School Auditorium, 901 Ferry Street in Le Sueur. Admission is free but donations are appreciated. In the face of seemingly endless “bad news,” the group will sing about all the positives in the world. The Noteables are the area’s community singing group. Formed in 2006, they have grown from 15 members to over 60, and include members from Le Sueur, Henderson, Le Center, Belle Plaine, Jordan, Edina and St. Peter. “We are an area-wide community resource for both singers and audiences”, says the group’s founder, Phyllis Fleischauer. “We charge no admission but we depend on donations to be able to purchase our music. With the increase in membership comes an increase in music costs. We hope our audience will help us out with their generous donations.”

Le Sueur County Eyes Le Center Parcels for Possible Justice Center

Le Sueur County is looking at potentially acquiring two pieces of land in Le Center as a possible home for a new justice center should the county opt to build anew rather than renovate the existing county jail. The county is considering two parcels near the intersection of Highway 99 and County Road 11. The two parcels are cumulatively just over 5 acres, the Le Center Leader recently reported. They have a combined valuation of $132,500. The city has owned them for over 16 years. The county wants the city to OK a request for right of ﬁrst refusal. That right would give the county 90 days to consider matching any offer the city receives on the parcels. Council members seemed to favor a short right-of-ﬁrst-refusal period. The Le Center City Council directed the issue to its economic development authority for a recommendation. Councilors hope an EDA meeting can be scheduled before the city council’s next meeting Aug. 10.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Thirty Years Ago This Week

New Crowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest Scott County Fair Secretary Maynard Harms, President Roman Wermerskirchen, and board members Jim Legg and Lawrence Jabs checked out the progress on the construction of a new crowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nest for the horse ring at the fairgrounds that Monday. The fair would open on Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our parking lot looks like a golf courseâ&#x20AC;? boasted Scott County Fair President Roman Wermerskirchen, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we have ďŹ&#x201A;ower gardens in 25 different locations around the fairgrounds. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m anxious to let the public know that we are not a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dust bowlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as had been the case years ago.â&#x20AC;? Wermerskirchen added that almost all of the 80 acres of the fairgrounds was now covered with grass thanks to a big improvement project across the grounds, as well as improvements to some structures. Herb Schmitt of Belle Plaine and Elizabeth Schultz of Shakopee would be named the Outstanding Senior Citizens of Scott County at the 1986 Scott County Fair. Schmitt was a long-time resident of Belle Plaine, having moved here in 1947 and opening a dry cleaning business here. Since his retirement, Schmitt served as a volunteer driver for the county, taking fellow seniors to medical appointments, congregate dining and hospitals, etc. He and his wife, Evelyn, drove 400 to 800 miles per month for seniors. One of the big attractions at the 1986 Scott County Fair would be the Grand National Truck Pull on Friday and Saturday evenings. Among the professional drivers would be Wes Koepp of Belle Plaine. A 19-yard-old Maple Lake woman was killed when a stolen motorcycle she was riding on ran off Carver County Road 33 near Norwood during a police chase early that Monday morning. Vickie Lynn Otten was a passenger on the motorcycle driven by a 17-year-old Wright County boy. The driver of the cycle managed to escape and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Two independent investigations were initiated at the county level in connection with the chase fatality. J.P. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jackâ&#x20AC;? Wermerskirchen, 93, former Scott County Sheriff and municipal judge, died July 19 at the Minnesota Veterans

Home. A longtime Shakopee resident, he was the father of Mrs. Jerry (Rose) Hennen of Belle Plaine. Wermerskirchen was named Scott Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acting sheriff in 1941 after Gov. Harold Stassen removed Arthur Mesenbrink from that ofďŹ ce. Mesenbrink had allegedly failed to crack down on businesses with slot machines and 3.2 bars selling hard liquor in the county. Kathryn R. Kochevar, age 86, of St. Paul, passed away July 19. She was born in rural Belle Plaine to James and Rita (McDevitt) Corcoran. Anna M. Stratton, of Austin, formerly of Belle Plaine, passed away July 21 at St. Marks Lutheran Home in Austin. She was born April 29, 1896 to Joseph and Anna (Stresnak) Kullisheck in Belle Plaine. The Belle Plaine Historical Society would hold its 10th annual Two-Story Outhouse Flea Market and Craft Sale on Aug. 3. Belle Plaine Junior High School Principal Dan Dressen hit a hole in one at the New Prague Golf Club on July 22. It came on the par three, 150-yard 12th hole. After closing out the regular season with a 12-9 win over Carver, the Belle Plaine town baseball team split its ďŹ rst two playoff games, routing Cologne 13-5 and losing to Jordan 12-2. The Tigers would now need to win three games in a row to make regions.

Her prize-winning slogan was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slow Your Pace, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Not a Race.â&#x20AC;?

Le Sueur Municipal Airport Wins Grant for Safety Improvements The U.S. Department of Transportation recently awarded the City of Le Sueur a $107,963 grant for safety improvements at the municipal airport. The grant money will be used to remove tree obstructions in the runway approach and improve transitional surfaces at the facility, the Le Sueur NewsHerald recently reported. The airport hosts about 2,500 landings and take-offs annually. It is also home to a helicopter service. The airport had previously received a $550,000 grant for land acquisition in 2015. That money was aimed at meeting new guidelines for aircraft safety. Noting the economic impact a regional airport can have, U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, U.S. Sen. Al Franken and U.S. Rep. Tim Walz all helped secure the grant funding.

that will create the potential to transfer fee ownership of the lot to a different property owner. Belle Plaine Community Development Director Cynthia Smith-Strack had noted that the new parcel would be owned by private investors and would be taxable, but it is the intent of The Lutheran Home Association to purchase the land within the next five years, at which time The Lutheran Home could propose to change the property (lot 2) from taxable to tax exempt. Final plans for the complex, which were approved by the council on June 20, call for a mixed-use development that will include a three-story, 54unit senior independent living center, a 12,900-square-foot medical clinic with future vertical expansion, and a 10,000square-foot health and wellness center. Construction of the complex was scheduled to begin this summer, but those plans may have to be pushed back until the senior living portion of the project is finalized. In other business Monday night, the council unanimously voted to have the city “opt out” of a new Minnesota statute relating to temporary family health care dwellings. A bill creating a new process for local governments to permit certain types of recreational vehicles as temporary family dwellings was signed into law by Gov. Dayton on May 12. The main purpose of the new law is to provide transitional housing for seniors. For example, “if a family wanted to keep a close eye on grandma while she recuperates from surgery, they could have her stay in a temporary family health care dwelling in the yard or drive-

way.” Local governments may opt out of this program if they determine that this type of expedited land use permitting for temporary dwellings is not well-suited to their community. Many communities have communicated that property owners in their jurisdiction have adequate access to a permit for this type of use through existing local land use controls and permitting authority. Unless a city chooses “not” to participate in this program by passing an ordinance specifically opting out, the law will require the city to issue permits to qualified applicants starting on Sept. 1, 2016. A permit can be denied for appropriate cause. The law lists the information required and the requirements that may be considered in that decision. The council and planning and zoning commission recently met to discuss its options pertaining to the new statute, and the consensus was to opt out, thus the city can enact local standards relating to accessory dwellings. No one spoke at the public hearing that preceded the council’s vote. *Unanimously authorized the mayor and city administrator to execute an agreement with Energy Surety Partners (ESP) for lighting services, including the replacement of current lights with light-emitting diode (LED) lights and fixtures for city buildings, as well as the storing and disposing of the existing lights. ESP will also provide ongoing maintenance, repair, replacement and warranty management of the installed lights. In the agreement, it states that the projected energy savings to the city will amount to $8,738 per year.

*Unanimously renewed the city’s contract with Critter Getters to provide animal control services. The city’s current contract with Critter Getters expires Dec. 31, and Critter Getters has agreed not to raise it compensation costs, which is $1,200 per month. The new contract will expire Dec. 31, 2019. *Unanimously accepted a donation of $26,000 from the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce from lawful charitable gambling funds that will go toward downtown improvements ($13,000) and Community Swimming Pool improvements ($13,000). Staff reported that it is the intent of the chamber to continue donations of this type on an annual basis. *Voted 3-2 to approve a request by Nathan and Elizabeth Hanson for a nonconforming expansion permit to allow the construction of a 1,040-squarefoot detached garage at 140 South Walnut Street. Council members Henry Pressley Jr. and Paul Chard accounted for the two no votes. Both cited that the planning and zoning commission had recommended denial. The vote for the conditional use permit was approved 4-1, with Chard voting no. *Unanimously accepted the resignation of Kyle Strobel from the Belle Plaine Fire Department. Strobel, who was appointed to the department last month, stated that he is resigning “due to personal issues.” In turn, the council appointed Aaron Provancha as a member of the department in order to keep the roster of firefighters at the desired number of 30. *Unanimously approved a cable programming policy agreement with Mediacom, the city’s cable program provider. The agreement helps ensure that “programming shall con-

stitute a public, educational or government benefit to the residents of Belle Plaine.” The city also has a partnership with the Belle Plaine School District to provide school-related services such as school board meetings, live and recorded sporting and fine arts events, and service announcements. A copy of the agreement is available at Belle Plaine City Hall. *Unanimously approved a large assembly permit and on-sale 3.2 percent intoxicating liquor license for the annual Belle Plaine River Fishin’ Contest on Saturday, Aug. 13, which is headquartered at Court Square Park. *Unanimously approved a 3.2 percent intoxicating liquor license for the Jerry Connolly Memorial Softball Tournament at Prairie Park on Saturday, Sept. 10. The next regular meeting of the Belle Plaine City Council is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Aug. 1 in the City Hall building at 218 North Meridian Street downtown.

Public Hearing on 2017 Street Project Aug. 15

Following a review of the project by City Engineer Joe Duncan, the council set Aug. 15 as the date for the assessment public hearing on the city’s 2017 street and utility improvement project. The project will include West Main Street between Buffalo and Crest streets, and Elk Street between West Main and State streets. The alley in block 104 will not be improved as previously proposed. The total estimated cost of next year’s work is $1,220,000.

A Primary will be held Aug. 9 at City Hall to narrow the field of candidates for Belle Plaine mayor from three to two. The candidates and remarks by them are included below.

Mark Gerdes Age: 59. Occupation: Semi-retired Computer and Network Technician. Gerdes and his late wife, Julie, raised five children. He has lived in Belle Plaine all his life. In 800 words or less, please explain why you’re running for mayor, what would make you a good mayor, top priorities if elected and anything else you would like to add. I ran my own home-based business for 35-plus years. I have been widowed for seven years now and my wife, Julie, and I raised five children that are all adults now and I have 10 grandchildren ranging from age 1 ½ to 19 years old. I have lived in Belle Plaine for 59 years and have not held a public office. I would like to bring a little extra commonsense to the office of the Mayor when making decisions. I have a sizeable amount of experience problem solving and working with Engineers, Contractors and Technicians etc, which I do believe will help me in accomplishing my goals if I were to be elected. I chose to run for Mayor because I have been waiting for this town to grow a larger industrial tax base for the last 40 years, and it would seem that the best way to get Belle Plaine to that point is to see what I could accomplish as the Mayor along with the other elected officials. If elected, I will try my best to bring companies into this community to expand the local industrial base this city so desperately needs to lessen the tax burden on our residents, as well as encouraging our local businesses to flourish as they are truly an essential part of Belle Plaine’s economy as well as its charm. Another goal I have is to do what I can to bring our Water/ Sewer rates and late fees down to more affordable rates as well as looking into improving the water quality as I know the hard water level is rather high and I have heard concern being raised over it. I will not discourage our youth from learning what it’s like to raise a couple of chickens (no roosters) within the city limits, though I do understand that restrictions would need to be in place and enforced to ensure the comfort of all citizens, nor would I tell people to move to Jordan if we didn’t agree on a topic. If a disagreement were to happen, I would do my best to accommodate all parties involved in the hopes that a compromise could be made. If you’re happy with the way things are in this city, then please vote for the incumbent. But if you would like to see a new angle, please consider voting for me. If you have any questions for me or concerns that you believe need to be addressed at or before the upcoming primary, please reach out to me at mgerdesformayor@ gmail.com. Thank you.

Christopher G. Meyer Age: 49. Current Workplace: Capital Growth Management – Loan, Finance and Small Business Consulting. Occupation: President – Loan Development and Consulting. Spouse: Janene Meyer. Children: Amara and Jonah. Lived in Belle Plaine for 49 years. Past Experience in City/Government: – Fire Fighter/Fire Chief Belle Plaine Fire Department (retired with 20 years of service). – Past Member of the Belle Plaine Economic Development Authority. – Original Member of the Design Committee/Main Street Grant Board. – Current Chairperson of the Episcopalian Preservation Committee. – Current President of Minnesota State University Alumni Association. – Past President of Belle Plaine Historical Society. – Past Chamber of Commerce President. – Past Rotary Club President. – Past Treasurer of Belle Plaine Baseball Association State Tournament Committee. In 800 words or less, please explain why you’re running for mayor, what would make you a good mayor, top priorities if elected and anything else you would like to add. I believe in “Pro-Active” government instead of the “Reactive” government that has been taking place on the Belle Plaine Council for the past number of years. The Council has been managing the city in way of dealing with requests and issues as they are presented instead of going out and correcting issues, developing commercial projects and taking a hands-on approach looking towards the future. When the average council meeting over the past year is just 32 minutes long with several under 15 minutes, it tells me that the people currently in office are just going through the motions and not planning or looking past what is on the current agenda. With very limited commercial development these past years it is obvious that the city is still in the “waiting for the phone to ring” management style. This is something that I will change immediately. I am involved in commercial finance and development all over the State and there is no reason why Belle Plaine is not in a position to be experiencing some of this action. Communication is also a huge issue. If we as taxpayers do not know or understand what is happening on the city level, it is hard to get people involved and excited to pitch in and help. I would go back to the Belle Plaine Online Meetings with frequent contact made with our school district, service clubs, churches and other civic groups. There are many people that are willing to step up and help but there has to be a plan and information available for this to happen. Currently it is my opinion that the staff is in control of the city. You can see this in the way the council handles the meetings

and basically takes direction from the staff. In my experience in the business world, the Board of Directors dictates the direction and plan of operation and then has the staff carry out the mission. This is something that also needs to change. We need the Mayor and council to manage the operation and advise the staff on what needs to happen. Again this is a huge part of keeping the operation running in a positive fashion. As the current Mayor and council have taken a wait and see approach, many of the neighboring towns have been busy with all types of development (senior housing, retail, updated school and community facilities, housing and commercial). This not only takes away from the potential jobs and property tax income that these projects create but also shows people looking at relocating that these are pro-active communities with action! Belle Plaine is in a position with great land to develop, great infrastructure in place and the need for commercial growth. In the past few weeks, I have heard from several people how hard it has been to deal with our local government. This should not be the case. Our city government should be a place that our residents can come to for assistance and feel that they are the number one customer and get treated accordingly. Some of the issues have dealt with planning and zoning and non-profit groups not getting the help needed when trying to plan an annual event and finally a licensing issue for a vendor at the local farmers market. These people involved in these interactions all have a very bad taste for our city government. Of course, like anything else, word of mouth on a bad experience travels much further and quicker than that of a good experience. We have to do better for our citizens. I would pledge that we would have a much more opendoor policy to get these issues discussed on the front end and a solution determined that is fair to all involved. Of course, not every request can happen, that is not realistic, but the majority can be if commonsense and team work is in place. I made the decision early on in my adult life to stay in Belle Plaine and raise my family. The town has been great to my family and provided many opportunities that could not have happened in a bigger city. I was fortunate enough to join the Belle Plaine Fire Department and served for 20 years, including six years as your Fire Chief. This not only gave me the government experience in budgeting and management but really allowed me the opportunity to come into the lives of many of our citizens at their time of need. This is truly what helping thy neighbor is all about. I now am wanting to take my 25 years of banking and financial experience along with my past civic involvement and move Belle Plaine forward. I have the experience, commitment and qualification to be your next Mayor!!

Mike Pingalore Age: 42. Current Workplace: Sales Manager - Midwest Region for Midwest Sign & Screen Printing Supply Co. Spouse: Tina Pingalore. Children: Jake (15), Ella (13) and Grace (6). Lived in Belle Plaine for 13 years. Past Experience in City/Government: – Current Belle Plaine Mayor and past City Council Member. In 800 words or less, please explain why you’re running for mayor, what would make you a good mayor, top priorities if elected and anything else you would like to add. As a former member of the Belle Plaine City Council for two years and a current liaison to the many committees within the City and Township Boards, I am also humbled to be the current Mayor of the great City of Belle Plaine. The City of Belle Plaine is presently in a great place and our future looks even better. Our financial status is very strong, our community is growing and I am working diligently to align additional opportunities for the City. My goals will allow us to continue to prosper together. I will accomplish these goals through my continued leadership highlighted by progressive and forward thinking. One of my greatest strengths is having relevant and balanced conversations with outside companies along with City Staff that will advance our position for growth. Over the last six years, the City Council and I have had to make some difficult decisions on behalf of the City of Belle Plaine and its citizens. These decisions, though difficult, were to protect the future of our City. Nobody likes to pay high taxes or even high water and sewer rates. Protecting the financial status of our City is a priority. A top solution to a reduction in our taxes and water/sewer rates is continued growth in Commercial/Industrial businesses. My leadership has brought the start to these opportunities. The bridge is the first building block to this reduction by adding opportunities for commercial growth. Today, we have movement on possibilities for development that have the potential to transform our community. These possibilities will create jobs and amenities for the city. I believe we have momentum right now to build on what we have started and a change in leadership puts this at risk. Together we have many desires and ideas for our City; for instance, a splash pad or a community center. With my leadership, we will one day have these. We need additional residents and growth in our commercial/industrial areas on the 169 corridor to sustain the financial needs for amenities like these. I believe in three top priorities; 1) Reduction in taxes, 2) Economic Development, and 3) Public Safety for the City to strengthen growth and relevancy. One of those is getting our taxes in line so we can put more money back in our households. In 2003, the Council moved forward with a water treatment facility that had a price tag of over $10 million dollars. The City issued a bond at the time and every year we pay that bond with funds set up from Water/Sewer hook-ups related to homes being built or Commercial/Industrial buildings. When the economy turned upside down in 2008 and it sustained a decline in production, the payments of those bonds still were due. The fund balance from the hook-ups in previous years was getting to a critical low and to be sure we kept up with paying our bills and maintaining an outstanding Financial Rating, we had to look at the existing homes for support. We increased water/sewer rates

over the near future to protect the city from a financial standpoint. The great news is that we are seeing growth in housing and we are creating opportunities for commercial/industrial and jobs to support this growth. The building of the bridge has brought Ridgeview Medical Center to Belle Plaine and more great opportunities behind it to support my efforts. All of these combined will help to refresh the funds to help pay for the bond and lower your monthly water/sewer bills. Economic Development and the desire to bring amenities to Belle Plaine is a strong passion of mine. For many reasons, Economic Development is a leading cause for job creation, tax reductions, restaurants, and upgrades to our parks and recreation areas to have more accommodations and to be a viable place to live. Development in Belle Plaine is a necessity. The Safety and Security of our citizens in Belle Plaine is my third priority. Safety related to knowing that we have superior Police, Fire and Medical services available. Chief Tom Stolee has done an exceptional job with his staff with internal policy and community safety. He continues to initiate and roll out programs for public safety like the Tiger Watch Program and the D.A.R.E program to educate and inform our youth. Chief Matt Stier continues a job well done at the BPFD and improving his staff with training and adequate equipment to provide the means to keep up with our needs. In closing, the City of Belle Plaine is progressing very well. We have made huge leaps in the past four years to make Belle Plaine an even better place to live, work and play. I will continue to work on your behalf along with City Staff to be sure we continue to prosper. “Bridging Belle Plaine for the Future.”

Holy Family Academy Dedicates Volleyball Tourney to Paul Mackedanz Twenty-two teams converged once again on Holy Family Academy and Chapel in rural Belle Plaine for its 12th annual volleyball tournament this past July 9. The sky was clear and beautiful, the sun warm and bright, and the general consensus was that it was the best year to date. The tournament was a particularly special one this year as it was dedicated to the memory of Paul Joseph Mackedanz, a 2011 graduate of Holy Family Academy who was struck by a car and killed while working in Texas this past April. Mackedanz was an enthusiastic volleyball player and the tournament coordinators decided to institute a new award in his honor, the Paul Joseph Mackedanz Most Valuable Player (PJMVP) award. Many players and spectators alike attributed the unusually good weather this year to Mackedanz as well as he was known to have always disliked playing

in the rain and mud. The Mix & Match team from St. Mary’s, Kan., took home the men’s first place trophy this year, having fought its way up through 12 competing men’s teams. The women’s trophy was claimed for the second consecutive year by the Mighty Maders from central Minnesota as they rose to the top of 10 women’s teams. Joe Archer of St. Mary’s, Kan., and Megan Mackedanz of Holy Family Chapel were awarded the men’s and women’s PJMVP awards, respectively. Even those who did not place in the tournament managed to have a good time. The spirit of the day was perhaps best summarized by Justine Dalhoff of St. Robert Bellarmine’s Church in St. Cloud. “I’ve never won or even been close to winning the tournament itself,” she said, “but I come for the fun and for the people, and if you have that kind of an attitude, everyone wins.”

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Belle Plaine School Board OKs Study Moving Forward on County Two-Year Deal With Principals Road 60 Fix in Blakeley Twp. Two-Year Pact Includes 7.29% Increase in Salaries, Benefits

for long-term facilities maintenance Monday (July 25). Changes in state law allow the district to levy from its property taxpayers up to $193 per student in 2016-17 for long-term facilities maintenance. That potential maximum levy increased to $292 per student in 2017-18 and up to $380 per student in 2018-19 and beyond, Chuck Keller, the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business manager told the board Monday evening. The formula generates more money for junior and senior high-schoolers than kindergarten and elementary school students. The potential maximum levy means the district could levy and spend up to $643,000 on approved deferred maintenance projects next year and potentially $980,000 the following year. The amount could be reduced, depending on the impact of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s levy, Keller told the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a formality at this point,â&#x20AC;? Keller said. The district has an array of potential projects it could fund over the next decade. The list includes $649,000 in 2017 and $829,000 in 2018 to $980,000 in 2019 and $938,000 in 2020. The list of potential projects from 2020 through 2026 all top $900,000 annually. One of the high-proďŹ le projects is resurfacing the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track at the Belle Plaine Athletic Complex. The district previously planned to resurface the track in 2016. But with a price tag expected between $140,000 and $150,000, the project is being delayed until 2017. The board OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d using some of the money for the track to repave the drop-off area at ChatďŹ eld Elementary School. The overall 10-year maintenance plan, which was approved without discussion, is being reviewed annually. When it was ďŹ rst enacted, the state initially required a review and approval every other year.

It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take negotiators for the Belle Plaine School Board long to bargain a contract with the four members of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smallest union, its building principals. Monday (July 25), without public discussion, the school board unanimously approved the two-year contract for the four principals -- Dave Kreft, Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School; Mindy Chevalier, Belle Plaine Junior High School; Liann Hanson, Oak Crest Elementary School, and Kim DeWitte, ChatďŹ eld Elementary School. The contract runs from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018. It is based on 228 workdays over 12 months. The wage increases in the contract includes a 2Âź percent increase in the ďŹ rst year of the contract and 3Â˝ percent hike in the second year of the pact. The principals also receive longevity pay increases based on the number of years they are members of the union representing the school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principals as well as level of education. The contract provides individual health insurance at district cost for each principals. Additional coverage for family members is borne partially the individual principals, with a district contribution. The school district shall contribute $17,877 toward family insurance coverage during the 2016-2017 school year. In 2017-2018, the district contribution shall be as stated in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s master agreement with the Belle Plaine Education Association (BPEA), for that year plus $4,000. The school district shall pay the premium for a life insurance policy valued at $150,000 for individual coverage for each full time principal. Additional life insurance coverage may be purchased from the district by the principal. Any additional In other action at the July premium cost shall be borne by 25 meeting, the Belle Plaine School Board: the principal. â&#x20AC;˘ Paid bills totaling $1,822,221.83.

With an environmental review of the proposed realignment for reopening County Road 60 in Blakeley Township is nearly completed, the county is awaiting a determination on whether additional study is needed. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is expected to help fund repairs to County Road 60, which links Highway 169 to Blakeley village and a river crossing to Sibley County Road 6. A realignment will allow trucks, farm equipment and passenger vehicles to access the river crossing to Sibley County or Highway 169. Heavy rains, mudslides and high winds in the summer of 2014 damaged the road. Walls of the ravines on which the road sat washed away. County Road 60 has been closed since. It is currently in the form of a cul-

de-sac at the top of the bluff line over the village. An environmental review is under consideration. It considers all potential impacts of the potential realignment, from air quality to historical landmarks. If the county and FEMA decide to move forward with the proposed alignment, the a declaration of no additional environmental review will be needed. FEMA is publishing a legal in this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Herald on page 10. A draft of the study is available for review between July 27 and Aug. 26 at the Belle Plaine Library or at the Scott County Public Works Building on Highway 282 east of Jordan. A copy of the review is available on Scott Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web site -- http://www.scottcountymn.gov/DocumentCenter/ View/5580 FEMA and the county are con-

sidering two options â&#x20AC;&#x201C; leave the road as is or reopen it on a new alignment. The new alignment is just east of County Road 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original alignment. The county previously said the old alignment serves about 350 to 400 vehicles a day. County highway staff previously recommended a realignment moving the new section of County Road 60 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; potentially up to a half-mile -- slightly to the north and well below the existing roadbed. Last year, the county estimated the new alignment at approximately $2.5 million. The county previously said it expects approximately $1.7 million will come from the federal government with the county adding $852,000. The project is still going through federal clearance. It will likely not be ready for bids until early-September.

passionate about preparing her fourth-graders to be ready for the challenges that await them. Angela Kalal doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ t the stereotype of a demolition derby driver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a redneck hobby, but it is a lot of fun.

Angelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slight build, blonde hair, broad smile and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80sstyle aviator sunglasses canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hide the fact she looks a lot more like a school teacher than someone high on an adrenalin rush aiming to smash her car into another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has all her teeth,â&#x20AC;? Jeremy joked, noting the typecast of some demolition derby drivers. She tells her students about competing in demo derbies. The students, she said, are a little surprised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think their parents are even more surprised,â&#x20AC;? she said. The couple has rules about preparing and driving in demolition derbies. One particular rule involves complaining about post-derby soreness in the neck, back, arms and shoulders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t whine about it all week,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get one day.â&#x20AC;?

St. Peter Joins List of Cities Discussing In-Town Chickens Add St. Peter to the list of communities that have discussed creating ordinances allowing chicken coops in town. The city council recently tabled a proposal when several proposed changes were added to the draft ordinance. The city council was slated to discuss the proposed changes during a work session and then bring back an updated version of the proposed ordinance for consideration. The proposed ordinance, the St. Peter Herald recently reported, includes information on setbacks from property lines, the number of chickens allowed, the size of coops and screening from neighboring properties. Councilor Roger Parras said he expects the ﬁnal ordinance

to allow 15 to 20 chickens per household. Councilor Jerry Pfeifer again vigorously opposed the proposal, claiming chicken coops would draw predators – raccoons, skunks, coyotes and other rabies-laden vermin -- into the city. He suggested that if the city council wants to turn the clock back 60 years, it should also allow people to maintain a junked vehicle and old refrigerator in their yards. Belle Plaine, Jordan, Shakopee, Chaska, Green Isle, Arlington, New Prague, Prior Lake, Savage, Bloomington, Edina and Minneapolis are among the many cities that have hosted discussions on allowing backyard fowl.

Ask A Trooper by Sgt. Troy Christianson of the Minnesota State Patrol Question: I own a 1994 BMW. The last time registration was due, I purchased a collector plate and joined the BMW club. I know you’re not supposed to drive the car for everyday use, such as driving to the grocery store or running errands. I have a friend who told me, I can only drive the car to club meetings or auto shows. True or not true? If not true, what are the restrictions to driving the car? If I’m going to sell the car, can I drive it to mutual meeting point? Can I take it out every once in a while for a “spin”? Answer: There are several requirements for “collector” license plates. – The vehicle must be a minimum of 20-years-old. – The owner must prove that they have one or more vehicles with regular license plates. – The vehicle is owned and operated solely as a collector’s item, and not for general transportation purposes. What are general transportation purposes? To law enforcement, this means that you can drive it to fairs, shows, etc.,

but it is not to be utilized for work, school, shopping and other everyday activities. It is a judgment call on the part of the officer, but the intent of the law is that the vehicle is not to be used as an additional vehicle for your family. If you are in violation of one of the requirements listed above, you could be charged with: – “Improper use of registration” – a misdemeanor (90 days and/or $1,000 fine). – “Intent to escape tax” – a gross misdemeanor (up to one year and/or $3,000 fine) depending on the situation. These license plates are also subject to impoundment. As the owner, you are responsible for maintaining the proper registration on your vehicle. If you are going to use the vehicle for other purposes, have regular plates on it. If you have any questions concerning traffic-related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester MN 55901-5848. You can also reach him at, Troy. Christianson@state.mn.us.

Pre-registration is needed for all programs and activities

Town Tigers Baseball

Belle Plaine Drops Three Games, Opens Playoffs Sunday Will Host Henderson at Tiger Park

The Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jake Mercado hit a two-run homer against Cannon Falls Friday night in Cologne.

Season Comes to Close for B.P. Legion A young Belle Plaine American Legion baseball team was among the ďŹ nal four teams standing in the district tournament, but its nine-day, six-game run in the double-elimination tournament at Norwood Young America and Cologne came to an end with a loss to Holy Family Sunday evening. The Tigers, who defeated Zumbrota 4-0, lost to Pine Island 2-1 and beat Le SueurHenderson 9-1 the ďŹ rst weekend of the tournament, rallied to edge Cannon Falls 7-6 this past Friday night before beating Plato 4-1 in 10 innings on Sunday to reach the ďŹ nal four. A three-run home run by Jared Miller in the top of the 10th inning was difference in the game. Nathan Herman picked up the win on the mound after relieving starter Wes Sarsland late in the game with the score tied 1-1. Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebration of beating Plato and reaching the ďŹ nal four was short-lived, however, as the Tigers were beaten by Holy Family 8-6 later on Sunday, ending their tournament run with a 4-2 record. Belle Plaine was 10-1 during the regular season. Those accomplishments came despite the fact that several seniors from the state Class 2A runnerup high school team have been playing with the Belle Plaine town team this summer, allowing the younger players a chance for more playing time

Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brody Curtiss, who started on the mound for the high school Tigers in the state Class 2A championship game at Target Field last month, started in the Belle Plaine Legion teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory over Cannon Falls Friday night in Cologne. together before the 2017 high James Mathiowetz, Jake Mercado, Tyler Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, Alex Ruud school season.

by Brett Kruschke, Matt Schultz and Mike Schultz Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come to this: the Tigers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; entrants in the state tournament for eight of the last nine years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; must play a play-in game for a chance to compete in the Region 6C tournament. From that tournament, three of the remaining eight River Valley League entrants will advance to the state tournament in Dassel and Hutchinson. Should the Tigers, who lost all three games they played this past week, defeat New Ulm Kaiserhoff at 6 p.m. Sunday night at Tiger Park, the reward is a visit to Jordan to face the repeat RVL champion and No. 1-ranked Brewers next Friday at 7:30 p.m. But letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not get ahead of ourselves just yet. Last night (Tuesday), the Tigers hosted Gaylord in their ďŹ nal regular-season RVL game. On Friday, the Tigers will receive a most stealthy playoff tune-up when they visit the consensus best ballpark in the state, Miesville, taking on the storied Mudhens at 7:30 p.m. What Carl Spackler once said in Caddyshack applies to the playoffs: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess the kidding around is pretty much over!â&#x20AC;? You never know what can happen in the postseason, and last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state tournament trip â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including winning a game at state, after entering the postseason with an 8-18 record â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is testament to that. After further analysis, maybe the 7-19 Tigers have their opponents right where they want them! Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see you at Tiger Park Sunday night as we ďŹ nd out together. Cologne 13, Tigers 11 Belle Plaine went to Cologne

looking to get a win and some much-hyped cheese curds. Only one was achieved as the Tigers lost 13-11. Pitching wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t great again for the Tigers, with Zac Dahlke, Joe Pomije, Chase Emmers, Matt Ruehling, Pat Schultz and Josh Terrio all seeing time on the mound. Matt Schultz led the way at the plate with three hits. He made a bid for his ďŹ rst-ever home run with a double off the left ďŹ eld fence, but instead he will have to settle for his ďŹ rst extra-base hit of the year. Jordan 9, Tigers 2 The Tigers hosted the Brewers on Pulled Pork Sandwich and Matt Saxe Night, both of which happened to be the only good things about the game as Jordan scored three in the ďŹ rst and led throughout. BP did whittle the lead to 5-2 in the seventh, but that was just the Brewers playing cat and mouse. Josh Terrio started and worked four innings, yielding four runs, two of which were earned. Jonny Vinkemeier, Joe Pomije and Mitch Stier also saw time on the hill. Stier threw the sixth, eighth and ninth innings, with Pomije throwing the seventh due to some new-age managing techniques. Pat Schultz and Dylan Nyberg led the way at the plate with two hits apiece, with both lining doubles. Henderson 6, Tigers 3 The Tigers of Henderson made the journey to Belle Plaine in a battle to avoid the dreaded playin game in the Region 6C tournament. It was difďŹ cult to tell that this was an important game from the player attendance, but your hometown team was able to scrape together 11 semihealthy guys for the vital lateseason match up. Chase Emmers got the start on the mound and was solid through two innings before the

wheels fell off in the third when Henderson plated ďŹ ve and took a lead it would never relinquish. Zac Dahlke threw the next four frames and only gave up one run, while longtime catcher Pat Schultz ďŹ nally found another position he is almost serviceable at by tossing two scoreless innings. A trio of Tigers had multihit games: Pat Schultz, Matt Schultz and rookie shortstop Ryan Bremseth-Vining. Belle Plaine did threaten in the ninth, loading the bases and bringing the winning run to the plate, but one-time Belle Plaine Tiger and two-time Henderson Tiger Clayton Meyer closed the door on the comeback. 2016 Town Tigers Schedule May 6 vs. St. Benedict W 9-6 May 8 at Shakopee L 10-0 May 13 at Arlington L 3-0 May 15 at Henderson L 10-6 May 17 vs. Mudcats L 11-1 May 20 vs. St. Peter W 8-2 May 22 at Chanhassen L 13-6 May 25 vs. Mn.

B.P. Lions Hosting â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Beep Ballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Games, Rib & Craft Beer Fest The Belle Plaine Lions Club is hosting an inaugural â&#x20AC;&#x153;beep ballâ&#x20AC;? event and rib & craft beer fest Sunday, Aug. 7, at Tiger Park. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It features â&#x20AC;&#x153;beep ballâ&#x20AC;? games plus the talent of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top craft brewers and rib cookers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beep ballâ&#x20AC;? is a form of baseball for visually impaired or blindfolded players. They focus on sound, hitting a beeping ball and running toward bases that give off sound. According to the National Beep Ball Association, a contest lasts for six innings unless more are needed to break a tie. A team has three outs per in-

ning. However, there are some differences from regular baseball. There is no second base. First and third bases, four foot padded cylinders with speakers, are placed 100 feet down their respective lines and 10 feet off the foul line. This is to prevent a runner from colliding with a defensive ďŹ elder. The bases contain sounding units that give off a buzzing sound when activated. The batter does not know which one will be turned on. When the ball is hit, the base operator activates one of the bases. The runner must identify the correct buzzing base and run to it

before a defensive player ďŹ elds the ball. If the runner is safe, a run is scored. Teams can sign up for the competition for $75. The Minnesota Millers Beep Ball team will be participating in the event. Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., local cookers and brewers will compete in the rib and craft beer festival. For more information or to enter a beep ball team, the craft beer fest or the rib cook-off, call Bob Denny at (612) 7599776 by Sunday, July 31. Proceeds from the event beneďŹ ts juvenile diabetes research, leader dogs and the Minnesota Eye Bank.

Youth Deer Hunt Applications Available Youth can apply to hunt deer in select Minnesota state parks and other refuge areas during 17 special deer hunts in October and November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents or other adult mentors go with youth to the ďŹ elds and forests during these annual hunting opportunities,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Kurre, Department of

Natural Resources mentoring coordinator. Youth have until Friday, Aug. 19 to apply for the hunts. Of the 17 special hunts, 15 are ďŹ rearms hunts for youth ages 12 to 15, and two are archery hunts for youth ages 12 to 17. Youth must apply for the hunt of his or her choice, which can

Le Sueur Voters Will Decide if City Nixes Ward System

Voters in Le Sueur will decide this fall if city residents will be represented by a council elected at large or by individual councilors representing a ward. The Le Sueur City Council recently voted 6-0 to place the issue on the ballot in November. If voters approve the elimination of wards, the change would be effective in 2018, the Le Sueur News-Herald recently reported. The city has two wards. Proponents of the change say it would encourage more residents to seek elected ofďŹ ce representing the city. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charter commission unanimously recommended the council pass the issue.
