B.P. Police Hosting Annual National Night Out Festivities The Belle Plaine Police Department is hosting its annual National Night Out festivities Tuesday (Aug. 4) at Heritage Square Park. The event is intended as a chance for residents to meet officers and build a positive rapport, enjoy an up-close look at police, firefighter equipment and a Ridgeview ambulance and potentially a North Memorial Air Ambulance. National Night Out is held as a
chance for residents to show efforts to oppose crime and work with officers to keep a watchful eye on their neighbors and neighborhoods. The event is also billed as an opportunity for residents to build a stronger community bond. This year’s NNO event at the park on East Orchard Street will include refreshments, water games, give-a-ways, bounce houses, and face painting. Bike helmets will be given away to
the first 120 children to have their bicycles undergo a safety check.
Green Isle Get-Together
Green Isle’s Lions host a community event Aug. 4 (4-7 p.m.) at Irish Yard ballpark. The event includes the Lions serving root beer floats. Residents will have the opportunity to meet and visit with sheriff’s deputies and firefighters serving Green Isle.
Belle Plaine School Board Filing Period Open Until Aug. 11 Antique collector Arlene Albrecht will be selling pretty much everything she has in stock, including all the carousel horses her late husband Dave carved many years ago. They and thousands of other items will be for sale at an auction Aug. 8-9 at Albrecht’s Antiques in Blakeley Village.
Blakeley Antique Collector Selling A Lifetime of Treasures by Dan Ruud A lot of history will be for sale Aug. 8-9 (Saturday and Sunday) when Arlene Albrecht of Albrecht’s Antiques in Blakeley Village will hold a going out of business auction to be conducted by Ediger Auctioneers of Belle Plaine. Thousands of items will be on the selling block, ranging from some of the Albrecht family’s circus memorabilia to the original old Blakeley Depot sign, as well as antique pottery, glass-
ware, toys, advertising signs and posters, military items, books, photographs, postcards and just about anything else antique-related you can think of. “The list goes on and on,” said Arlene. “People would ask us what we (she and her late husband Dave) liked to collect and I’d tell them ‘we liked it all.’ We collected a little bit of everything, can’t you see,” exclaimed Arlene, pointing at the various rooms and contents of her tightly-packed shop in
Blakeley last Friday. There’s also a number of Belle Plaine items in the collection, including a Triangle Motors sign, a business only the most veteran of local old-timers can recall. “I’ve got a lot of Belle Plaine souvenirs,” Arlene said. Her entire stock, with the exception of family circus photos and one wooden horse head
Interested in running for a seat on the Belle Plaine School Board? If so, now is the time to throw your hat in the ring. The filing period for election to four-year terms on the school board opened Tuesday (July 28) and runs through Tuesday (Aug. 11, 5 p.m.). Candidates can file at the Belle Plaine District Center building, 130 Willow Street S. The filing fee is $2. Candidates for the board must be eligible voters, age 21 upon assuming office, and residents of the Belle Plaine School District for 30 days before the general election.
Directors Matt Lenz, Mike Ludvik and Tracy O’Brien currently hold the seats up for election. Monday (July 27), Ludvik said he had not made a final decision. O’Brien was appointed to the board for the final year of Matt Bigaouette’s term after he resigned last year. She plans to seek election. “I feel it is a way that I can give back to the community. I just got my feet wet filling this position for the one year term, I would like to continue on and help make our schools great for my children and the children in
our community,” O’Brien said. Lenz said he would not be seeking re-election. He has served on he school board for eight years. “I do not put the same excitement and energy into the position that it deserves,” Lenz said. “Once that happens it is time to move on,” he said. “I also think that in order to keep the board at its best, different voices and experiences should be represented. For this to happen, members have to move on and give others the opportunity to be on the board.”

B.P. School Board Turns to Co-op for Help With Search Next District Superintendent Will Likely Be An ‘Emerging Leader’
Facing a decision that will potentially impact the state of the Belle Plaine School District for years, the school board turned to an experienced consultant for assistance hiring its next superintendent. With Superintendent Kelly Smith planning to retire later this month, Monday evening
(July 27) the board approved an agreement with Ed Waltman and the South Central Services Cooperative for assistance handling the application, interviews and possible contract negotiation process. The decision to work with Waltman, a former superintendent, came after the school board met in emergency session July 17 and posted the position. The Belle Plaine School District has been a member of the cooperative since it was formed in 1976. It will only charge the district for printing costs and paper associated with the search, an amount Waltman expects will be around $250.
Crops Standing Tall Ewald Gruetzmacher of Belle Plaine has been farming a lot of decades and he said on Tuesday that this may very well be the best and biggest he’s seen local crops look for this time of year. “The crops are looking excellent. Some corn is 10 feet tall. It’s unreal. They just keep growing. Usually after Bar-B-Q Days, we don’t get much rain. That’s not the case this year. As long as we don’t get any of that hard stuff (hail), we’ll be okay,” Gruetzmacher said. Last Friday morning, 2.17 inches of rain fell on the Gruetzmacher farm, site of one of Scott County’s official gauges. Nearly three-quarters of an inch fell this past Tuesday morning,
bringing the total amount of rain for July in Belle Plaine to 5.85 inches (1.83 fell on July 5 with smaller amounts several other days). According to the United States Department of Agriculture’s weekly report released Monday, 82 percent of Minnesota’s corn acreage was silking or beyond, one week ahead of last year and four days ahead of the five-year average. Corn condition rated 87 percent good to excellent. With 90 percent of the soybean crop blooming or beyond, 44 percent of the plants were setting pods or beyond, one week ahead of average. Soybean condition rated 80 percent good to excellent.
A search through a private firm, he said, could cost as much as $15,000. Waltman has helped districts conduct successful superintendent searches for the Sibley East, Le Sueur-Henderson, New Prague, Tri-City United and Jordan school districts. Smith recommended contacting the cooperative after the board decided to post the position for 10 days. “These people (help) hire superintendents all the time,” said Director Mike Ludvik, the school board chairman. The posting generated 21 applications. With only 90 minutes to review them, Waltman told the board he sees six potential candidates. Four of those candidates, Waltman said, could be recommended as finalists for interviews with the school board. Waltman is concerned about the timing of the search. He advised the school board the next superintendent of the Belle Plaine School District could potentially be “an emerging leader” – a person with administrative experience who is not yet served as a superintendent. He said existing superintendents are currently under contract and will likely be unable to leave their current posts. Waltman stressed the importance of the board being unified

The Miracle of Birth Julie Strohsack of Waconia was in total awe while watching a Miracle of Birth video presentation Friday afternoon in the Cattle Barn at the Scott County Fair. Her friend, Erin Hitts of Toledo, Ohio, was a little less awed by watching an animal give birth, as were some of Strohsack’s and Hitts’ children. Nonetheless, they were all attentive.
Weather Takes a Toll on Scott County Fair Attendance With all the work that went into preparing the Scott County Fairgrounds for the fair’s annual five-day run, General Manager Norm Pint knew weather was the biggest wildcard. Heat and humidity took a bite out of what was expected to be an improved attendance. The fair’s annual run wrapped up Sunday afternoon (July 26). “The heat and humidity were tough. Call it dew point,” he said Monday morning. “We were a little off from last year.” Last year, between 28,000 and 30,000 people came through the gates. Fair board members hoped for a nice improvement in 2015. But with sultry, at times tropical, weather, attendance didn’t make the goal. Saturday night’s demolition
derby grandstand show drew the biggest crowd of the fair. “We were at capacity in the grandstand,” he said. Sunday’s draft horse show also helped draw a nice crowd to the fairgrounds in St. Lawrence Township. Despite the smaller-than-desired attendance – an estimated number since the fair board doesn’t formally track the number of people that arrive at the gates – vendors were generally pleased with the fair’s showing. Pint said most the vendors he spoke with indicated acceptable or better sales. The new carnival – Gold Star Amusements – was well received, with improved ridership, he said. He estimated income from rides was up about
33 percent from a year ago. “They showed up with one more ride than we expected. People seemed pretty pleased,” he said. The Miracle of Birth display in the dairy barn was also “a hit,” Pint said. Larger overhead monitors gave people a better view of the birth process and newborns. Calves and sheep were born during the five days. “The goats didn’t cooperate and the pigs weren’t bread at the right time,” he said. Pint said the bluegrass festival Sunday was well received. He’ll recommend it be returned next year. Overall, he sees no

The demolition derby was among the Scott County Fair’s most popular events again this year. John Elsenpeter of Clearwater, Minn. (91) and Kirk Voelker (right) of Faribault, Minn. sandwiched another vehicle during limited weld class car competition. The Saturday night demo derby drew a capacity crowd to the county fairground’s grandstand. Over 60 vehicles in seven classes were entered in the crash-a-thon.
Green Isle’s Sammie Engelmann finished fifth in her class Thursday evening at the Scott County Fair’s tractor pull in the grandstand. She finished with a pull of just over 272 feet.

We want to express special appreciation to Father Sam’ support, visits, and encouragement, for Father Hessian’s words of comfort at Leo’s memorial service, to Kolden Funeral Home for their professional arrangements and caring service, and for the Belle Plaine Lutheran Home staff for their abundant kindness, care and concern they provided while Leo was a resident.

The family of Dorothy Brown would like to extend a sincere thank you to all who called, stopped by or offered prayers throughout Dorothy’s final months. We truly appreciate your kindness and support. An extra special thank you to the staff at Kingsway for your professional care and friendship; mom was truly lucky to have spent her final days with all of you.

Bryan Lynch, Fr. Roger Hessian, Deacon Bob Raleigh, the Our Lady of the Prairie Choir, altar servers, CCW, and all who helped make Dorothy’s funeral service a touching tribute to her long-lived 91 years. Your thoughtfulness is appreciated and exemplifies the relationships Dorothy had established with so many. All of our love and gratitude, The Family of Dorothy Brown

Long-Forgotten Lease to Bring Unexpected Cash to Cologne It was the “weirdest” phone call Cologne City Administrator Jesse Dickson said he received last week. A lease the city had apparently long forgotten was brought up for renewal by an unexpected source. “It’s not often we get a phone call from somebody wanting to pay the city money,” Dickson told the city council at its July 20 meeting. Dickson received a call from Lamar Outdoor Advertising. The company wants to renegotiate the lease for the billboard at the south end of Conrad Avenue. The city believes the billboard is sitting within city right-of-way at the end of a culde-sac with high visibility from Highway 212. The original lease for using privately owned land before Conrad Avenue was built was written in 1976. It was a fiveyear lease and Lamar paid the landowner $50 annually. The lease lapsed in 1981 and was all but forgotten. Dickson told the council Lamar Advertising Company wants the lease rewritten before the city removed the billboard. “There wasn’t as much traffic on the highway then,” Dickson said. The billboard is the only one along Highway 212 within Cologne’s city limits. Dickson had no reference on what the use of city right-of-way is worth. He told the council Minnesota Department of Transportation figures show about 14,000 vehicles pass the billboard each day. Dickson checked with Little Falls, Minn., where a similar traffic volume uses U.S. Highway 10 each day. Little Falls receives about $2,000 annually. Dickson said Mounds View receives about $15,000 annually in the first 10 years of a
30-year agreement for signs in city right-of-way along U.S. Highway 10. He said Mn/DOT traffic volume counts indicate about 81,000 vehicles use the highway through Mounds View.
Shorter, Flexible
Dickson suggested the city seek a lease agreement that provides it greater flexibility. The city expects the volume of traffic will increase over the years. “I don’t want to be stuck with a real small lease agreement if 212 opens up and suddenly there’s three times the traffic,” he said. Council member Don Meyer suggested five years at $2,000 annually. Councilor Kyle Evenski said $200 a month for a year “is cheap.” He suggested $2,500 annually. “If they (Lamar Advertising Co.) don’t want to do it, tear it down,” Meyer said. “They haven’t done anything in 30 years,” said Mayor Scott Williams. Williams suggested Dickson should start negotiating at $3,000 a year to create some leeway for negotiating. Council members noted the unanticipated windfall would nearly cover the cost of pothole repairs they unanimously approved earlier in the meeting. In other action at the July 20 meeting, the Cologne City Council: • Paid bills totaling $754,784.46. • Heard a report on proposed downtown sewer line work from City Engineer Jake Saulsbury of Bolton & Menk. He presented information on possible projects preventing infiltration into the city’s sanitary sewer system to be included into the 2016 budget.

Scott Co. Fair (continued from page 1) significant improvements, with only minor adjustments, that need to be addressed. “You do the best you can, with advertising and promotion. You hit the start button and hope it goes well,” he said. Weather aside, competition for attendance was the other challenge. Montgomery had Kolacky Days during the county fair. The Rice County Fair was also running concurrently to Scott County. The Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community had a rib cooking festival and Cologne’s small community festival were all running at the same time. “At this time of year, that’s going to happen. Everybody’s getting their events in,” he said.
Green Isle Making Headway With Owners of Unkempt Properties Early this spring, the Green Isle City Council identified 16 residential properties where the need for cleanup efforts could no longer be overlooked. Last week, the council learned the efforts have paid off. “I’ve heard more compliments this year on how the town looks than I ever have before,” said Mayor Dale ZumBerge. The city sent letters instructing 16 property owners to cleanup their lots. Over the course of the spring and into the summer, slow improvements were made at all but a few properties, City Attorney Ross Arneson reported to the council at its July 14 meeting. Green Isle is relying on its ordinances governing refuse, unlicensed vehicles and weeds to seek improvements at the properties. A few of the residents who have refused to make the improvements have been issued petty misdemeanor citations by a sheriff’s deputy for not following city ordinances. Arneson told the council the city has the right to continue to issue citations to the property owners if they choose not to clean up their properties in ac-
cordance with city ordinances. Council members are hoping their efforts will encourage people to keep their properties clean. They stressed the cleanup is an ongoing effort, not something the city will periodically enforce. “In every city, this is a pattern, a continuous process. It’s a matter of creating a culture or tradition. These are the city’s expectations,” Arneson said. “Word will get around.”
Annexation Request Declined
The council declined Cheryl and Cory Danielson’s request for the city to annex 9.99 acres they own along Highway 25, less than ½-mile east of Irish Yard baseball park. The council’s rationale for the unanimous decision is that the city would be expected to pay for all or part of the cost to extend city sewer and water services to the property. The utility lines are between ¼ and ½ mile from the couple’s property. Arneson told the council the city is not obligated to provide

city services to the Danielsons’ property. But the council is interested in the additional tax base. “It’d be a no-brainer if they’d agree to put them (sewer and water) in,” said Councilor Mark Wentzlaff. ZumBerge said the council should not OK the annexation unless the Danielsons present a financing plan for extending city services to their land. In other action at the July 14 meeting, the Green Isle City Council: • Paid bills totaling $15,789.41. • Approved a franchise agreement with Xcel Energy. The previous agreement lapsed two years ago. The agreement governs the relationship between the city and utility. • Discussed a request from the Lions Club on how the city will spend a donation from the club. City Attorney Ross Arneson said the club can indicate its preference on how a monetary donation is used, but that the final decision belongs to the Green Isle City Council.

• Approved a quote from William Mueller & Sons of Hamburg for pothole repairs totaling $24,570. City staff will also perform some pothole repairs as well. • Approved a request from St. Bernard’s Catholic Church to replace a sign along Highway 284. The planning commission raised a concern about the size of the sign. It exceeds city code for size. The city council OK’d the sign because the previous sign has been standing for several years. • Received the Carver County Sheriff’s Report for activity in the city during June. • Approved the final agreement with Sunshare solar gardens contract.

90 Years Ago (1925)
The Omaha railroad was offering a round-trip rate of $8.00 Belle Plaine to Chicago as a weekend special, leaving Belle Plaine 3:00 Saturday afternoon and returning to Belle Plaine Monday morning. M.S. Corrigan took time off from his Assumption farm for a trip through Montana and northwestern Canada. Frank W. Hall of Boston, who some years before had become purchaser of the Bailey building, came here to look after the leasing of the property to the Hahn brothers of Carver County. A band of gypsies that packed five large touring cars stopped here long enough for the women to make the rounds, begging or taking. Matt Langenfeld, former Belle Plaine creameryman, celebrated the opening of his new ice cream plant at Watertown, S.D. Three bands were in the parade that was eight blocks long. At the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. T.L. Johnson, took place the marriage of their daughter Ethel to Thomas H. Lynch, Father Minogue officiating. The couple left on a wedding trip to the Pacific Coast and the Canadian Rockies. The trunk highway through Scott County from Shakopee through Jordan and Belle Plaine to the Le Sueur County line was to be paved. The contracts would be let in August. The Belle Plaine School Board voted a tax levy of $14,000 for the ensuing year. Chas. Lipke Sr., well-known in the Belle Plaine and Blakeley communities and then residing in Brownton, met his death in an automobile accident in South Dakota in returning from a trip to Canada.

Last December, a fire damaged the Ess house in Chaska’s historic Walnut Street District. Acting as the city’s economic development authority (EDA), the city recently purchased the 1880s-era house with the hopes of repairing it and selling it. The city bought the property from owners Doris and Bruce Coghill for $1. The couple sought to donate the house to the City of Chaska, but the city can’t legally accept the donation. The house on the 200 block of North Walnut Street sustained about $400,000 in damage in the blaze. The city is planning to seek state historic preservation grants to fund the repairs, the Chaska Herald recently reported. The house, once restored, is estimated to sell for about $200,000. If the state money doesn’t come through, the city has the option of razing the house. It would recoup the cost of the demolition by selling the lot. The house will be next door to the historic Riedale/Ernst house that is being moved to the block from the site of the downtown park project.

Dear Editor, There have been two damning videos released recently that show Planned Parenthood executives discussing how the group is involved in buying and selling organs from aborted babies. One video shows a senior Planned Parenthood executive discussing the organization’s involvement in buying and selling body parts from aborted babies and the techniques they use to preserve their organs for future sale. Another video shows a Planned Parenthood executive haggling over prices, and acknowledging it is a crime to modify abortion procedures but that they are comfortable violating that law. Sick. Not only are they illegally trafficking body parts, but they are illegally and irresponsibly putting the health of women at risk by altering abortion techniques. A number of Republican legislators have taken action, calling on the governor to investigate Planned Parenthood and vowing to renew efforts to require inspections of abortion facilities. They also promised to look at eliminating their taxpayer funding in light of their criminal activity. So far our senator, Kevin Dahle, has been tragically silent. Why? Why didn’t he sign the letter to Gov. Dayton? Why isn’t he outraged that public dollars are going to a group that is committing crimes? Why isn’t he outraged that this group is trafficking babies’ organs? This is not about pro-choice or pro-life; it is plain black and white. Taxpayers should not be aiding a group that risks the health of women and buys and sells babies’ body parts. If Sen. Dahle doesn’t care to get to the bottom of this, he should tell us. Sincerely, Fran Barten New Prague
Dear Editor, Recently, the news reported a Security Counselor (SC) at MN Security Hospital (MHS), was attacked by a patient, her head repeatedly bashed into a brick wall. These kinds of attacks have become commonplace. A few examples: MSOP-SC al-
!-
most had her ear ripped off; MSOP-SC attacked, bite wound to face; MSOP-SC bit on the hand trying to help restrain armed patient; MSOP-SC bit on wrist and shoulder is nearly dislocated in attack; MSOPSC attempted sexual assault; MHS-SC suffers broken back helping coworker under attack; MHS-SC assaulted, 4 bones in her face broken‌.now suffers from PTSD;  MHS-SC attacked suffers broken back leading to removal of discs and spinal fusion; MHS-SC stab wounds, back and knee injuries, MHSSC attacked, ends up with a spinal fusion; Anoka Metro RTC an HST stabbed in the eye, torn rotator cuff, dislocated spinal disc; Anoka Metro an LPN ruptured bicep and torn rotator cuff; Group Home Forest Lake an HST needs continued physical therapy due to attack; Minnesota Life Bridge group home in Cambridge staff attacked. These are just a few of the attacks/injuries suffered by state employees working for Dept. of Human Services in treatment centers/group homes. In fact, at MHS (St. Peter), in 2014, staff suffered 101 injuries, patients attacked staff 71 times, double of the previous year. Staff put up with blitz attacks and ambushes, liquids like feces/urine and hot bacon grease or coffee being thrown on them. These people are our friends, our family, our neighbors and work for all of us. They support the economies of many small towns and cities and deserve our support, they deserve better.  Recently, the Governor gave 25% to 35% raises to the highest paid state employees, these Department Commissioners got between $11,000-$35,000 raises. The minimum wage increased about 45% in the last year. The state employees described above, on the low end of the pay scale have been offered a 2.5% pay increase while their health insurance premium portion goes up, their co-pays go up, their deductible goes up and they’re expected to do more with fewer staff. This, while the States a few $Billion in surplus. This doesn’t seem right, probably doesn’t seem fair most. I hope the State can come up with a better offer, one that allows them to pay the bills and shows a little respect for what they do.  Sanda Oslin Sturgeon Lake, MN

since February. She was the widow of Otto Stier. George V. Wherley, 84, of Belle Plaine, died July 23. He was born in Faxon Township to John and Jane (Hallinan) Wherley. He married Kathryn Sullivan. They owned and operated the Wherley Oil Co. in Cologne from 1932 to 1969, when they retired and moved to Belle Plaine, The headline read “Hot Air Balloon Lands on Sheep; Farmer Upset.� It sounds funny but the farmer was not laughing. The animal died, apparently as a result of the crash landing. The farmer called Scott County Commissioner Bill Koniarski, who told the farmer he should find the responsible party. The farmer demanded that the county bury the sheep. Koniarski again heard from the farmer later with some good news. The balloonist returned, buried the sheep and paid the farmer $150. The Belle Plaine town baseball team won its opening game in the Carver Central League playoffs, defeating Shakopee 7-3 before losing to Jordan 10-0. The Tigers would next take on Carver in a loser’s bracket game in Chaska. The Region 7 playoffs were scheduled to start Aug. 6.
Attractions ranging from an ugly duck contest to mean machine semi-truck pulling contests were ready to greet visitors to the 1985 Scott County Fair that coming Thursday through Sunday. The ugly duck contest was a new event in which the prettiest chicken and the ugliest duck would be sorted out from an array of feathered contenders. The Klein Shows of Sioux Falls, S.D., which had recently appeared for Bar-B-Q Days in Belle Plaine, would be featured on the Midway. The popular demolition derby was also among the attractions that year. Belle Plaine City Administrator Dave Unmacht notified the mayor and city council that he appreciated the council’s generous offer but decided to take the position at Prior Lake. The council had held a special meeting the previous week and decided to offer Unmacht an increase in pay if he would stay in Belle Plaine. Unmacht accepted a job with the city of Prior Lake that he would begin in August. Scott County’s property casualty insurance premium increased a staggering 650 percent, from $48,000 to $303,951. County Administrator Joe Ries believed that about half of the increase reflected the increase in the insurance market place. The other half of the increase he said was attributable to the recent lawsuits brought against the county that arose in the aftermath of the county child abuse cases. Long hours were part of the job for State Farm Insurance Agent Jerry Kucera. Jerry, a native of Belle Plaine and son of local agent Tom Kucera, had recently opened his office in the Professional Building on First Avenue in Shakopee. Shakopee was a growing community and State Farm decided to open a second office there. The city of Henderson, which was contemplating the sale of its municipal liquor store, granted a Belle Plaine family exclusive rights to sell liquor in Henderson for at least a year and a half and for five years in the case of the off-sale business. Dan, Dennis and John Neisen, who operated the Red Door Bar in Belle Plaine, came away with the agreement with the city of Henderson. Reportedly, the Neisens offered $65,010 for the purchase of the municipal liquor store. Al and Bonnie Telschow of Belle Plaine, who operated the Belleview Restaurant here, decided to take over operation of the Second Generation Cafe in Henderson, which had closed on July 1. Roger Hespenheide of Belle Plaine was elected district historian and district finance and budget chairman for District 5M2 of the International Association of Lions Club. Viola R. Stier, 77, died at the Lutheran Home in Belle Plaine, where she had been a resident

individuals joining together to support local food producers. Two of the primary local organizations supporting local food access are the Local Harvest Alliance and the Scott County Farm Advisory Board. The Local Food Alliance is “a group of local food producers and consumers located in Scott County. Our goals are to promote the preservation of agricultural land and open spaces, support local food production, develop a vibrant local food economy, and to realize ultimate food security through local food production,� according to their website (www.localharvestalliance.org). The Scott County Farm Advisory Board, originally established in 2009 as the Scott County Farm Advisory Task Force, consists of farmers, local officials and interested residents who meet quarterly to discuss issues of concern to the agricultural community such as the long-term future of farming, land use and natural resource plans as they relate to farming. Minutes from their meetings are available on the Scott County website. In this column/blog, we will focus our efforts on food (largely animal, fruit and vegetable) produced and consumed in Scott County. Our goal is to inform readers of local resources and low-income access to healthy foods. Tessa Lehto is a Shakopee resident and garden enthusiast. This article is funded in part by Scott County’s Statewide Health Initiative Plan to promote healthy eating in the county and Local Harvest Alliance to promote awareness of local foods.

Union Hill by: Edna Weiers St. John’s Catholic Church St. Scholastica Church Father Dave and Deacon Bob Sunday Mass at 10 a.m. at St. John’s Servers: Alex & Katelyn Brezina, Avery & Jordan Marsh Saturday Mass at 8:15 p.m. at St. Scholastica Servers: Brad & Samantha Kubes Sunday Mass at 8 a.m. at St. Scholastica Servers: Sarah Colwell and Lydia Schmitz Mass Wednesday 5p.m.- St. John’s, Confessions-5:30p.m. ***** The funeral Mass for Bob Hauer, 73, was offered Wednesday morning at St. Scholastica. Burial was at St. Scholastica Cemetery. We extend our condolences to his wife, Judy and family. Lots of visiting and “Gemütlichkeit” at the
Scott County Fair in Jordan, and Kolacky weekend in Montgomery last week. Enjoyed by many. Greg and Jayne Weiers and their family enjoyed a week vacationing and fishing up north. Humor Corner: The plumber got a call to fix a leaky sink. He was cautioned to look out for a rather fierce dog in the apartment. Just leave him be, don’t try to pet him and you’ll be fine, he was told. As he edged into the apartment he heard a voice from a room, “Come right on in honey.” Emboldened, the plumber headed towards the room, keeping an eye on the menacing dog. Once more he heard, “come on in honey.” Excitedly he went in and guess what he found, a parrot in a cage doing the talking. So he quickly fixed the sink and prepared to leave still keeping an eye on the growling dog. As he passed the parrot’s cage he muttered, “is that all you can say, you stupid parrot, come in honey?” “No,” said the parrot, “I can say ‘Sic Em.’”
St. Thomas by: Loni Graham Father James Burns officiated our 4 o’clock mass this July 25, assisted by altar server Marvin Halloran. Sam Burns provided music. Christie Reineke, Joannie Landgraf, Kevin Halloran and Jim Flaspeter brought up the gifts. Debbie O’Connell and Tom Connelly “T.C.” assisted Father as Eucharistic ministers. Father’s sermon was short and sweet in this heat. Our next mass at St. Thomas is scheduled for Saturday, August 15 at 5 p.m. and will be officiated by Father Roger Hessian. Masses at St. Anne’s in Le Sueur are scheduled on Saturdays at 5:15 p.m., Sundays at 8 and 10:30 a.m. Emily O’Connell, Doc and Rita’s youngest daughter, was the guest of honor at a Bridal Shower at the Our Saviour Church in Cleveland on Saturday. Annica Reddemann was crowned second princess in the Montgomery Kolacky Days Queen pageant. Annica’s traditional Czech dance was about finding a little boy in her garden, who is smashing the cabbage, featured her cousin, cabbage smashing Caleb Sullivan. The Kolacky Day parade is a blur, but among the many family and friends we saw Gary and Shirley Rutt, Jim and Cathy Holden, Marian and David Halloran. Jan Retka greeted us with daughter Maggie, Joel Vochaska and his family, Diane Palmstein and her family. Dave
Wondra played with musicians in the park, KCHK Crew, beauty school buddies Dale and Sue Gregor and Bonnie Prokes, with so many fine Montgomery folks. Corey Vlasak and Heidi Schmidt were our drivers and riding with us were Tyler Vlasak, and Andy and Anna Baumgard, ran out of candy after five blocks. The Tim and Rosemary Burns clan gathered to celebrate at the home of Mike and Erin Feeney as they hosted a retirement party for her folks, Bruce and Betty Olson. The Burns/O’Connell family branch of our St. Thomas Tree gathered before, during and after mass this Saturday, July 25. About 40 graves of immediate members of the O’Connell and Burns clans were marked and numbered for the day. Geri Landgraf gifted her homemade soaps to folks interested following mass. After five inches of rain this week, a humid and warmer Kolacky Day weekend in Montgomery, 4 o’clock mass in St. Thomas and at the reunion at St. Thomas Sportsmans Park on Saturday, Father Burns assures us, “There are warmer places.” St. Thomas News meets Union Hill News. Visited with Edna Weiers at the Scott County Fair in Jordan on Friday. We enjoyed the KCHK entertainment, Charlie More’s Band, cattle judging and any breeze that happened our way. To set the record straight, she’s not my competition, we’re on the same team, but she’s got the jokes.

Antique Le Sueur Ponders Rule Change Collector Allowing Bow Hunting in City (continued from page 1)
her husband carved, will be for sale at the auction. Dave died in 1999 from brain cancer. All the carousel horses he hand-made will be for sale. “I don’t have a clue,” said Arlene when asked how many individual items will be for sale. “It’s a very large collection.” As for whether or not she’ll miss her collection, Arlene thought for a moment and said: “I’m going to be 76. It’s time for me to retire and time to let somebody else have fun with it.” That “somebody else” will likely be a collection of people from across the Twin Cities region and elsewhere. The auction has been highly publicized, with WCCO and KSTP both having aired features on Arlene and the upcoming auction. Arlene has been buying, selling and collecting antiques for 49 years. She plans to move in with her daughter and sonin-law in Blakeley. Her current home along Scott County Road 60 has been purchased by the county to make room for a soon-to-be realigned road. The road was severely damaged by the heavy rains and mudslides in June of 2014 and the realignment is intended to make it less accessible to flood damage. Circus Background Arlene was born the daughter of a circus clown and began traveling with the circus when she was 6 months old. “I slept under the stage in a buggy,” said Arlene, who began performing in the circus before she was 10 years old. Her specialties were the trampoline, rolling globe (acts you perform while balancing on a large ball) and contortionist, the latter of which performers showcase their skills of extreme physical flexibility. “As a kid, I could not have had more fun than growing up in the circus,” Arlene said. She added that her dad had an uncle who was a strongman in the circus, and that’s how he got into the business. They would travel across much of the United States, becoming very well known. Among Arlene’s photo collections are her dad pictured with celebrities such as Michael Landon, The Cisco Kid and Pancho, James Arness, The Three Stooges and Hopalong Cassidy. Arlene and Dave, the latter of whom was a dog trainer, performed and traveled plenty with other Albrecht family members, including Leo Sr. and Leo Jr. of Belle Plaine, and Leo Jr.’s wife Gloria. Leo Sr. died a number of years ago and Leo Jr. and Gloria still live in Belle Plaine, where a number of articles have been published about their circus careers and involvement in local history. Much of Leo Jr.’s and Gloria’s circus memorabilia has been housed in the Belle Plaine Carriage Museum. Arlene and Dave got out of the circus business in 1968. The self-described “pack rats” had already been buying and selling antiques for two years, having set up shop in Blakeley across the street from the current location, where it’s been since 1991. There were two other locations in what Arlene likes to describe as “downtown Blakeley” through the decades. At one point they also operated a general store along with their antiques. After Dave died, Arlene kept the business going. In recent years she’s used technology to her advantage, buying and selling merchandise through online auction sites like eBay and Etsy. The shop itself has had minimal hours of operation and foot traffic in recent years. The upcoming auction will appropriately be conducted in a tent. Albrecht said it will be “one last performance under the big top till it’s all gone.” Last Friday, Arlene reiterated a part of what she told KSTP when they visited her shop the previous week. “I always told my kids that I didn’t drink, smoke or do drugs. But when somebody called me to come look at their collection, I’d get a buzz on. It was exciting. You never knew what next treasure you were going to find.” There will probably be a lot of people thinking the same thing as they drive through the Minnesota River Valley on their way to Blakeley Village Aug. 8-9. Many of them will not leave empty-handed.
After receiving requests from owners of property along the Minnesota River and on the city’s north side, the Le Sueur City Council is considering allowing bow hunting in certain areas of the city. The Le Sueur City Council recently approved a first reading of the proposed ordinance change. It says the city’s police chief will recommend areas
where bow-and-arrow hunting will be permitted. Only property owners and people they grant permission to will be allowed to hunt in the designated areas, the Le Sueur News-Herald recently reported. Police Chief Bruce Kelly said there are probably areas of the city that are over populated with wildlife.
The proposed ordinance change also addresses the legal carrying of rifles pistols and air pistols as well as the discharge of firearms. It states firearms can only be carried by a police officer or any other person carrying a firearm in accordance with state law, at a licensed shooting range or in lawful self-defense.

Three-plus months after St. Peter School District voters OK’d a $59.6 million bond referendum, a group of residents opposed to the bond issue for a new high school is challenging the vote count and reporting process. The March 10 referendum passed 2,226 to 1,698 – 57 percent for it, 43 percent opposed. But the night of the vote, a computer glitch created discrepancies and erroneous voter participation levels, errs city and county officials have previously acknowledged. But the initial vote totals released the night of the vote indicated the referendum passed by a 54-46 percent outcome. A group opposed to the referendum – St. Peter Citizens for Progress Committee – claimed there were missing votes, the St. Peter Herald recently reported. Jaci Kopet, Nicollet County interim auditor refuted the group’s claim of “chaos� in the voter records. “There were no missing votes,� she said. The problem was barcodes not properly read by a computer and matching codes for local voter records. City of St. Peter staff served as election officials. The vote totals were reviewed by the Minnesota Secretary of State’s Office. A spokesperson for the office said no discrepancies on the outcome of the election. Kopet said all 3,924 ballots were confirmed. The same number of people signed the official election rosters. Robert Meyer, a member of St. Peter Citizens for Progress Committee said the group is demanding full accountability and disclosure by the city and school district. Paul Peterson, superintendent of the St. Peter School District, said the district has been assured by the county that the vote totals were correct. He said the district is moving forward with plans for the new school.

Superintendent’s Update
By Dr. Kelly Smith
This past week it was announced that Minnesota ranks #1 in the US in the Kids Count ranking of states for child well-being. A sharp drop in the number of children dying from auto accidents, homicides, cancer and other causes has boosted Minnesota to No. 1 nationally in the annual Kids Count ranking of states. While Minnesota always ranked near the top for education and the economic stability of its families, it languished in past reports because of its health indicators, including its child death rate and the share of teens abusing alcohol or drugs. Both improved in 2013, the year cited in the most recent report, which was released Tuesday by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Minnesota recorded 258 deaths among residents aged 1 to 19 that year — the lowest total in at least two decades — and said just 5 percent of teens aged 13 to 17 abused drugs that year, a decline from 9 percent five years earlier. “Most child and teen deaths are accidents, whether ‌ car accidents or just accidents while a child is playing or out and about,â€? said Stephanie Hogenson, research and policy director for Children’s Defense Fund-Minnesota, which helps compile the report. “So safety measures around wearing seat belts and driver’s education and around being safe in the community can improve that outcome. ‌ Minnesota does a fairly good job with those efforts.â€? Minnesota ranked No. 5 in last year’s Kids Count report and has typically ranked in the top 10. (Star Tribune, July 22, 2015) The Belle Plaine School Board will be holding elections on Tuesday, November 3rd for three open seats on the school board. The seats are currently held by Matt Lenz, Mike Ludvik and Tracy O’Brien. Interested candidates are encouraged to file for the positions beginning this week at the District Center Office located at 130 S Willow Street. Candidate filing period is open from Tuesday, July 28 through Tuesday, August 11. Find out more information about becoming a school board member by checking out our website at the address listed below. Statewide test results from the spring MN Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) were scheduled to be released on Tuesday this week, but the date was pushed back two days to provide the Department of Education more time to compile comparative information between all MN school districts. Test results should be available on the department website at www.education.state. mn.us and through the major metro newspapers beginning on Thursday of this week. We are looking forward to seeing the results of this year’s assessments as our students and staff worked very hard to improve our test results. As always, if you have any questions about school matters, please feel free to call me at 873-2400 or check our website at www.belleplaine.k12.mn.us. You may also find me on Twitter at @BPTiger716.

BPHS Student Gets National Honor The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) has announced that Belle Plaine High School student Shabanna Mahadeo has been selected to become a member of the esteemed organization. The society recognizes top students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, scholarship and community commitment. The announcement was made by NSHSS Founder and Chairman Claes Nobel, senior member of the family that established the Nobel Prizes. “On behalf of NSHSS, I am honored to recognize the hard work, sacrifice and commitment that Shabanna has demonstrated to achieve this exceptional level of academic excellence,� Nobel said. “Shabanna is now a member of a unique community of scholars – a community that represents our very best hope for the future.� “We are proud to provide membership to young scholars to support their growth and development,� said NSHSS President James W. Lewis “We aim to help students like Shabanna build on their academic success by connecting them with unique learning experiences and resources to help prepare them for college and meaningful careers. NSHSS members become lifetime members. At each
Shabanna Mahadeo step along the way – from high school to college to career – NSHSS connects outstanding young scholars with the resources they need to develop their strengths and pursue their passions. Shabanna, who will be a senior this fall, said her family has lived in Belle Plaine for 15 years. She started taking PSEO (Post-Secondary Enrollment Options) courses parttime as a sophomore through Normandale Community College in Bloomington, and “immediately knew that I wanted to continue with the program full-time through my 11th and 12th grade years. The program is an excellent way to meet new people and gain different experiences,� she said.

The Jordan first baseman was able to dig this low throw out of the dirt just in time to get the Tigers’ speedy leadoff hitter, Travis Latzke, out during Friday night’s game at Tiger Park.
Town Tigers
(continued from page 15) scribe Matt Schultz, we would be remiss if not to touch further on last Friday’s “Gerry ‘Mize’ Meyer Night” at Tiger Park. While the game against Jordan was a dud, the rest of the evening was great, with Mize’s family by his side. Videos of a portion of Papa Tiger’s pregame speech and his singing of the seventh-inning stretch – for the first time since August 1991! – have been posted to the Tiger Facebook page at facebook.com/bptigertown. Jordan 14, Tigers 3 The Brewers played the Tiger for the second time in less than two weeks and the results were very similar. Chase Emmers started on the mound and was a little erratic, although some poor defensive play didn’t help him any. He threw 3.1 innings before giving way to Zac Dahlke, who didn’t fare much better while recording just two outs. Joe Hankins threw a scoreless fifth inning for the Tigers before giving way to veteran catcherturned-pitcher, Pat Schultz. The 18-year veteran threw the final two innings while giving up his first run of the year – and career – on a double to the burly Paul “Duck Dynasty” Buss, a 52-year old legend. Belle Plaine managed seven hits, with Matt Schultz leading the way with two safeties. No other Tiger had more than one. Tigers 5, Le Sueur 2 After the loss against Jordan on Friday, your hometown nine welcomed the Braves of Le Sueur to Tigertown for a tilt with heavy playoff implications. If the Tigers could defeat the Braves, they would assure themselves of the second seed in the RVL Central and guarantee themselves at least one home game in the playoffs. With a loss, there would be too many scenarios to imagine, many of them not good. Belle Plaine came out on the winning end of a sharply-played game, however, beating Le Sueur 5-2. Derek Dahlke got the start on the mound against the Braves for the second time in 10 days. The outcome was much the same as last time with Dahlke tossing six scoreless frames, highlighted by a season-high nine strikeouts. The Tiger AllStar battled himself a little bit, giving up seven hits and three walks, but he made big pitches when needed and continued working back from early-season arm problems. Josh Terrio relieved Dahlke – just as he did in the first game against Le Sueur – and was solid again, giving up only two runs over three innings while amassing six sit-downs. Terrio also struggled with control, issuing four walks, but he too threw well when needed and earned
Belle Plaine’s Derek Dahlke fielded the ball and threw to first during Friday night’s game against Jordan at Tiger Park. a save the old-fashioned way – by pitching three innings. Dahlke and Terrio also led the charge offensively, with Dahlke going 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored. Terrio got half-way to the cycle, going 2-for-3 with two RBI. Ben Wagner and Tyler Hartman also had a RBI for Belle Plaine. 2015 Town Tigers Results and Remaining Schedule May 1 vs. Prior Lake L 6-3 May 3 at Chaska L 12-2 May 8 vs. Plato L 12-1 May 22 vs. Shakopee L 9-1 May 23 at Henderson W 10-4 May 31 vs. Fairfax W 2-1 June 2 at Victoria L 14-4 June 5 vs. Henderson L 12-10 June 7 at St. Peter L 10-1 June 12-14 Tigertown Classic vs. Renner L 8-7

Apply for Mentored Youth Waterfowl Hunts by Aug. 10 Youth ages 12 to 15 can apply for the chance to hunt waterfowl under the guidance of experienced mentors on Minnesota Youth Waterfowl Day, Saturday, Sept. 12. “Mentored hunts teach youth the skills needed for safe and enjoyable hunting, and they gain an appreciation of the interconnection between land, water and wildlife,” said Mike Kurre, mentoring program coordinator with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The DNR has teamed up with Ducks Unlimited, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Minnesota Horse and Hunt Club to offer the hunts, which will take place in six areas, including the southern Twin Cities metro area.

Q: What’s the status of the state’s allocation of the walleye quota? A: As of July 15, when the last angler survey was conducted, the lake was within just 3,000 pounds of reaching the State’s 28,600-pound limit for this twelve-month period. Q: How soon could the state exceed its allocation? A: Last week’s creel survey on estimated walleye harvests, releases, and kill during the first two weeks of July showed drastic increases that could result in the state reaching its limit by July 29. Gov. Mark Dayton has directed the DNR to wait until after the next creel survey, which will cover the period from July 16 to July 31, to see if the most recent numbers are an aberration. After the next creel report is received, the commissioner will take the necessary actions. Q: Does that mean walleye fishing will be closed? A: Yes, if the state has been determined to have exceeded its harvest allotment, a federal court decision legally requires state officials to suspend fishing for walleyes on the lake for the remainder of the season, which closes Nov. 30. Q: How could this happen so quickly? Didn’t the DNR estimate that the current regulation would allow anglers to continue this summer with a one-fish limit? A: Records show that this was only the second time in 30 years that Mille Lacs walleye catch rates in July were higher than the second half of June. This dramatic spike is believed to be due to unusual circumstances – including the high catch rates over the 4th of July and warm water temperatures (the third highest on record). Q: It’s been warm this summer, too. Is that affecting the quota? A: Yes. In July, water temperatures in Mille Lacs hit their third highest on historical record. Warm water greatly increases walleye mortality on fish that had to be released because they did not fall within the harvest slot. The so-called “hooking mortality” of walleyes that die after being released counts toward the state quota. Q: Is this trend impacting large, breeding-size walleye? A: Yes. When more big walleye die, the quota is reached more quickly. The quota is calculated in pounds and bigger fish are heavier than smaller fish. Q: Why didn’t the DNR see this coming? A: During the first seven months of the monitoring period (December 2014 – June 2015) walleye harvest rates were at or below predicted levels, based on tight regulations adopted for the open-water season. Based upon those results, total harvest was expected to be below the State’s 28,600-pound limit for this 12-month period and the DNR’s June 30 creel study showed the state was within 15,300 pounds of reaching the annual quota. Dayton has directed the DNR to wait
“Mize” - #39 Says Thank You A most heartfelt appreciation to the Belle Plaine Baseball Association, my dear family and the great amateur baseball fan base of Tiger Town for the most special honor passed my way last Friday evening at Tiger Park. Gerry “Mize” Meyer Night was a most spectacular event as well as most humbling for me and my family. I am especially happy for the kind reception of my version of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” as offered in the 7th inning. Thanks to KCHK Radio as well. Go Tigers - See you at the Ballpark! Gerry Meyer & family
until after the next creel survey which will cover the period from July 16 to July 31, to see if the most recent numbers are an aberration. During that time, officials at the DNR, the Office of Tourism, and the Department of Employment and Economic Development will meet with resort owners and other affected stakeholders on Mille Lacs to discuss the situation and seek recommendations. Q: Why is the quota so low this year? A: Since 2008, not enough young walleye are surviving to maturity and replenishing the Lake Mille Lacs population. As a result, Mille Lacs walleye numbers are currently at a 30-year low. In response, the state instituted more restrictive walleye regulations this year in order to protect young walleyes so they could grow older. In fact, this year Lake Mille Lacs’ 2015 walleye safe harvest level was deliberately re-
duced from 60,000 to 40,000 pounds so that more fish could potentially survive and spawn to improve the walleye population. Under this year’s quota, state anglers can harvest up to 28,600 pounds of walleye, and the eight Chippewa bands with 1837 Treaty harvest rights can harvest up to 11,400 pounds of walleye. Anglers are able to keep one walleye that is 19- to 21-inches long, or longer than 28 inches. Q: Is there hope for the fishery to recover? A: Despite this year’s low walleye population, DNR fishery surveys have shown this year that there may be good news on the horizon. Biologists are seeing a large population of young walleyes hatched in 2013. Walleyes in that group are currently 10- to 13- inches long. It is important to protect those fish so they can contribute to future angling success and walleye production.

Canada Goose Hunts in August Hunters can hunt Canada geese in west-central Minnesota from Saturday, Aug. 8, through Sunday, Aug. 23, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Individual hunters are allowed to shoot up to 10 Canada geese per day, but there is no limit to the number of Canada geese a hunter can possess. “The state’s Canada goose population remains high, and the August management action is one way to control goose numbers,” said Steve Cordts, waterfowl specialist for the DNR. “This harvest helps limit the amount of damage the birds cause to crops in the western portion of the state.” The August goose harvest will open only in the intensive harvest zone in west-central Minnesota, with shooting hours from a half-hour before sunrise to a half-hour after sunset. A small game hunting license,
special goose permit and state waterfowl stamp are required. A federal waterfowl stamp is not needed; however, it is required to hunt geese and other waterfowl beginning in September. This is the third year the DNR has held an August goose management action. “Last August, about 5,500 hunters harvested about 21,000 Canada geese, compared to 24,000 in 2013,” Cordts said. “Factors like weather and progress of small grain harvest tends to affect hunter success.” The DNR in August will announce details of fall waterfowl seasons, including the September Canada goose season that runs from Saturday, Sept. 5 through Tuesday, Sept. 22, and the regular Canada goose seasons that tentatively begin Saturday, Sept. 26. Season dates and more information on goose hunting can be found at www. mndnr.gov/waterfowl.

Town Team Baseball
Tigers Secure No. 2 Seed for Playoffs by Brett Kruschke and Matt Schultz and Mike Schultz The final week of the regular season has arrived and will conclude with a pair of home games: Friday at 7:30 p.m. against the Chanhassen Red Birds and 2 p.m. Sunday against the Arlington A’s. Friday will be Fan Appreciation Night with prizes given away throughout the game, including a signed bat and signed baseballs, Tiger baseball caps,
food and drink items, 2016 season tickets, four Minnesota Twins tickets and more! Despite both being against River Valley League teams, neither of these contests will count towards the RVL standings, as the last of those was played last night (Tuesday) after this edition of the Herald went to press. With a 5-5 RVL mark (7-16 overall) entering last night’s home game against Gaylord,
the Tigers have already secured the No. 2 seed from the RVL Central – behind the 11-0 Jordan Brewers. That means Belle Plaine will open up at home next Friday, Aug. 7 at 7:30 p.m. against the No. 3 seed from the RVL West – either Gaylord or Arlington. A full bracket will be published in next week’s Herald. While mentioned below by

Legion Tigers Come Up Short The 2015 season came to an end for the Belle Plaine American Legion baseball team Saturday as the Tigers, who had won all three of their games in the Third District, Division II Tournament in Montgomery the previous weekend, lost to Jordan 6-2 in a game that featured the 16team, double-elimination tournament’s only two remaining unbeaten teams. Later in the day, the Tigers lost to Norwood Young America 10-7, ending their season. NYA, which needed to beat Jordan twice to earn a trip to the state tournament, only managed to get half the job done, defeating Jordan 6-3 and losing the second 11-5, advancing Jordan to the state tournament. Belle Plaine, which had just 11 players on hand for what was a guaranteed two-game day on a hot and steamy Saturday, did not get things started off on the right foot as Jordan scored three runs in the top of the first inning against Tiger ace Ben Wagner. Luke Narveson smacked a solo home run over the left-field fence in the bottom of the first but Jordan added two more runs in the top of the second to make it 5-1 and cruised the rest of the way. Pictured at top is Belle Plaine catcher Aaron Mancini tagging out a Jordan runner at home plate Saturday. Pictured below is Tiger Ryan Bremseth-Vining trying to tag out a Jordan runner at second base, the latter of whom was called safe. Pictured at the bottom is Belle Plaine pitcher Jon Vinkemeier covering first base on an infield ground ball play, during which the ball was thrown behind him, allowing the runner to be safe.
For 53 Years of Service
Belle Plaine Baseball Association President Brad Lawson, right, was among those on hand to present Gerry Meyer with an award for his “53 years of dedicated service” to Belle Plaine baseball prior to Friday night’s town baseball game between Belle Plaine and Jordan at Tiger Park. The ceremony was part of Gerry “Mize” Meyer Appreciation Night at the park. Meyer has done it all for the town Tigers over the years, from playing and managing to field maintenance, fund-raising and public address announcing, from overseeing the grandstand project and writing many newspaper articles while long-serving as president of the Belle Plaine Baseball Association (BPBA). Meyer is also a member of the Minnesota Amateur Baseball Association Hall of Fame. Lawson, who succeeded Meyer as president of the BPBA, told the crowd at Tiger Park that he has “some big shoes to fill.”
Members of Gerry “The Mize” Meyer’s family joined him on the infield grass during Friday night’s ceremony at Tiger Park.
Gray Tigers Baseball
Gray Tigers on Hot Streak by Mike Zellmann The Belle Plaine Gray Tigers (over 35) baseball team won two games last week against Bloomington’s Crosstown Traffic 6-0 and the Le Center With “Dollar Bill” Kruschke behind the camera and interviewer Brett Kruschke at right, Braves 10-3. The Grays have Gerry “The Mize” Meyer fielded some questions before the start of Friday night’s ceremony. now won four of their last five games. The next game for the Tigers will be at a highly-touted Minnetonka team on Friday at 8:15 p.m., followed by three games at home on Aug. 2, 5 and 9. Belle Plaine will also be a host of the state Tourney this year. Tigers 6, Crosstown 0 The Tigers headed to Bloomington last Wednesday night to play on the old stomping grounds of Kent Hrbek and had one of their ace pitchers on the mound in Shane Hofmann. He had all his pitches going that night as he limited Crosstown to four hits while striking out six. The Belle Plaine offense started in the second inning with two outs as Paul Fogarty hit a double and then the veteran free agent signee Randy Stender found his way on base by swinging at strike three and legging out the K-4. This brought Brian Morrison to plate, and if you have not
noticed, he usually drives in the winning run and he did again with a double to left to drive in a pair of runs. The Tigers added four runs in the sixth to seal the deal, starting with a double by Brett Kruschke, followed by an inside-the-park homer by Eric Burgemeister. Phil Wulf then followed with a single, and a double by Brandt Vinkemeier and single by Mike Zellmann would plate two more to bring the final score to 6-0. Leading the hitting attack for the Gray Tigers were Wulf and Fogarty with three hits apiece. Wulf added two stolen bases. Gray Tigers 10, Le Center 3 The Tigers traveled to Le Center for a Friday night tilt with the Braves, who have given them trouble in recent years. But Belle Plaine would find a dependable Dave Kreft on the hill and he baffled the Braves with his arsenal of all fastballs, giving up just four hits while striking out six. The Tiger offense was on this night as all 10 in the lineup reached base safely. The first inning started with Phil Wulf getting on by an error and stealing second before getting to third
on a pass ball, which would result in a Zellmann groundout to get the first of many runs across as the Grays scored in five of the seven innings. The hitting attack was led by Vinkemeier with four . Other leaders at the plate were Dave “Greek” Wagner, Tim Doboszinski, Jeff Fahey, Wulf, Kreft, Morrison and Stender. Kreft pitched the first six innings, giving up one unearned run. Mike Tracy came in and get the hold to close the game with the final score of 10-3. 2015 Town Tigers Results and Remaining Schedule May 9 at Northfield T 2-2 May 15 at Burnsville L 11-0 June 7 at Rosemount L 10-0 June 9 at Gaylord W 5-2 June 18 vs. Loretto L 11-8 June 24 vs. Le Sueur L 3-1 June 28 vs. Shakopee L 5-3 July 10vs. Jordan Alers W 3-0 July 12 vs. Southwest W 4-1 July 15 at Jor.

FISH Aims to Help People Be Fully Ready for Retirement
Champions in the 2015 World FITASC sports clays event were ers from around the world competed over four days. Great honored during closing ceremonies Sunday evening (July 26) Britain’s George Digweed was the overall champion. Photo at Caribou Gun Club near Le Sueur. Several hundred shoot- by Bill Diers.
Caribou Gun Club Enjoys Weekend in the Limelight Caribou Gun Club just outside of Le Sueur wrapped up a month of July that included thousands of shooters from across the United States and the World with Sunday’s closing ceremony. “This is my first time at this club and I’ve been very impressed,” said New Zealander Julie Braun who has shot for seven years and competed in her first international compe-
tition last week in the World FITASC Sporting Championship at Caribou Gun Club. “The scenery and grounds have been impressive. The people are very friendly, too.” Braun shoots a Caesar Guerini 12-gauge shotgun. Through the various accents — nearly 30 countries were represented — and the blasts of shotguns, there was hardly a lull in the action throughout the
entire weekend. Friday offered spectators and competitors plenty as the North American flight Team performed fly-bys with T-6 Thunderbirds and trick shooter John Krueger wowed the crowd. Krueger, throughout his demonstration, never once shouldered his shotgun, while hitting targets that impressed even the world’s best. Shooting his gun upside down,
and right side up, one demonstration had Krueger hit up to seven clay pigeons in a matter of seconds. His son-in-law tossed up targets that included everything from lettuce, grapes, balloons, golf balls and lacrosse balls. Winning the weekend’s competition was George Digweed of Great Britain. He hit 190 of 200 targets.
Families and Individuals Sharing Hope (FISH) is hosting an information session about approaching retirement without fear at an upcoming community meeting Thursday, Aug. 13, in Prior Lake. Former Scott County Court Services Director, Dave Loftness, along with his wife Mary will be digging into the topic of retirement beyond finances. Loftness and his wife “started to notice within several months of retirement that something was missing. “We learned some things in retirement the hard way,” he said. “We found that most of the preparations we had made for retirement was focused solely on the financial aspects, and didn’t address the importance of the emotional adjustment with getting used to retired living.” The couple has been sharing their experience, including the physical, psychological aspects
of how their lives have changed in an effort to prepare attendees for a successful and rewarding transition to retirement. Beth Loechler, FISH’s executive director, says the organization recognizes aging as a community care issue that can be supported by increased awareness. “We are fortunate to have the Dave and Mary’s expertise as a local resource. This program will include useful information for faith, business, non-profits, and local government,” she said
It’s Free, Just RSVP
The session is open to the public and free on Thursday, Aug. 13, 9:30-11 a.m., at Spring Lake Township Hall. The hall is located at 20381 Fairlawn Ave., Prior Lake, MN 55372. RSVPs are required and can be called into (952) 440-3600 or e-mailed to fish@fishpartnernetwork.org
Miss USA Pageant Draws Cheers all the Way from B.P. Local Contingent Watched Miss Michigan Grow From Tomboy to Semifinalist
Ag and Louie Wawrzyniak held their breath as the names of finalists for Miss USA was read off. They were part of a contingent of Belle Plaine and area residents cheering for Rashontae Wawrzyniak. Their granddaughter –Wawrzyniak, aka Miss Michigan – finished among the top 10 women in the prestigious pageant held recently in Baton Rouge, La. The Wawrzyniaks, their son Scott, Rashontae’s father, and her aunt and uncle, Doris and Jerry Wawrzyniak of Jordan, were part of a local cheering section that made the trek to Louisiana for the Miss USA Pageant. “It was so very, very exciting,” Ag Wawrzyniak said. We were so proud of how well she did.” They saw Rashontae make the first cut from 51 contestants to 15. Those 15 women participated in the swimsuit and eveningwear competitions. She advanced into the top 10, but was not selected for the final five fi-
nalists considered for the Miss USA crown earlier this month. Olivia Jordan – Miss Oklahoma – was selected as Miss USA. A replay of the pageant is available online at www.missuniverse.com/missusa
From Minn. to Mich.
Rashontae Wawrzyniak moved to Michigan, from Minnesota, with her father when she was just three. She was raised by her father – Scott, a 1988 graduate of Belle Plaine High School -and moved to many places in Michigan before settling in a small town, Fowlerville. Today, she calls Detroit her home, according to her biography on the Miss USA Web page. After graduating high school,
Wawrzyniak attended Siena Heights University where she had both an academic and athletic scholarship. She ran indoor-outdoor track and field as well as cross-country at SHU. After graduating with a degree in psychology, Wawrzyniak pursued her modeling and acting career. She also started working as a spokesperson for automaker Chrysler. She travels the country either speaking or presenting for Chrysler or off to Miami for a fashion show and then to New York City for a photo shoot. Wawrzyniak also enjoys traveling the state of Michigan, inspiring young women with her story and teaching them that no matter what happens in life, you must love yourself and be proud of who you are. The pageant’s Web site lists three facts about Wawrzyniak. She is frightened of escalators and chooses stairs over escalators, enjoying the benefits of extra exercise. Having grown up with her father, Rashontae concedes she was a huge tomboy. She didn’t start wearing makeup or high heels regularly until after college. Wawrzyniak also has a great interest in food. When she travels, she always eats the regional cuisine and will try anything at least once.
