Council Reviews Timetable for Construction of Overpass Skeeter the Clown was in Belle Plaine last Tuesday promoting this Friday’s Culpepper and Merriweather Circus. One of her stops was the Belle Plaine Public Library, where she met up with Solace Daggy of Belle Plaine and the two began playing with dinosaurs.

Culpepper and Merriweather Circus in Belle Plaine Friday The Culpepper and Merriweather Big Top Circus will be in Belle Plaine Friday, Aug. 1. There will be two performances at 5 and 7:30 p.m. behind Cambria, which is making its parking lot available for circus-goers to park in. Each show lasts about 90 minutes. Now in its 30th edition, the C&M Circus has become in-

ternationally known for quality family entertainment. It last performed in Belle Plaine on July 26, 2011.

by Dan Ruud If all the pieces fall into place – and there are a lot of them – construction of an overpass near the Highway169 and County Road 3/Meridian Street intersection in Belle Plaine could begin in about 10 months. That’s right – months, not years. According to a conceptual schedule reviewed by the Belle Plaine City Council at a workshop last week, the target date for the actual construction to begin is June 1, 2015. In April, the council voted 3-2 to authorize the expenditure of up to $26,000 for the city engineering firm of Bolton and Menk to proceed with the preparation of a document (Appendix E). The purpose of the document is to pursue potential funding sources from the state for the project. The plan the city has decided

to pursue is called Alternative 2B, which would involve the construction of a bridge over Highway 169. However, rather than build it at the point where County Road 3 intersects with Highway 169, it would be located a short distance down the southbound lane of High-

way 169 with access from West Commerce Drive on the north side of Highway 169 and County Road 3 on the south side. This would not be a fullfledged interchange system with

Sibley County Board Seeking Temporary Fix for CR 6 Washout Unwilling to wait for federal money and hoping to relieve the delay trucks from the gravel mines along County Road 6 (Scenic Byway Road) in Faxon Township face in the wake of a 200-foot washout, Sibley County commissioners will consider bids on a temporary repair of the road. Tim Becker, Sibley County’s highway engineer, will present two quotes to commissioners tomorrow (Thursday, July 31). They are from Rud Construction of Webster, Minn. and Chard Tiling & Excavating of

Belle Plaine. Chard Tiling is one of the businesses directly impacted by the detours since trucks use the Sibley Aggregates mine, part of Chard Tiling & Aggregates, Inc. “Their bid directly reflects he wants the work completed very quickly,” Becker said. He expects the temporary fix might cost about $130,000. The large section of County Road 6, near Crahan Lane in Faxon Township washed out after torrential rains hit the area June 19.

The temporary fix would not include a formal and lengthy design-build process and hydraulic study required by the Federal Highway Administration. The study would determine the size of a replacement culvert. Becker added the temporary project would also include 4 inches of blacktop overlay, not the 6 inches a permanent fix would require. The study and design-build process will be part of implementing a permanent repair to the washout. A permanent fix for the washout would likely cost about $1 million, money the county expects Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will cover. Becker said the amount would likely include a 10-by-10 foot culvert and a better silt control device to keep silt from building up above the control structure. He Dave Latzke of Belle Plaine displayed his tractor’s power in the tractor pulling event Thursbelieves the old erosion control day night at the Scott County Fairgrounds.

Even at 17, Daniel Wyman’s passion is steam-powered engines. He and his family own two historic tractor-threshing machines they aim to restore in the next few years. He’ll be at the Scott-Carver Threshers Festival this weekend, Aug. 1-3, at the festival grounds in St. Lawrence Township.

Standing, from left, are Marvel Wolpern Tesch, Eldora Woestehoff Schmidt and Lorna Jones. Seated are Laura Otto McConnell, Robert Gatz and Dorothy Townsend Casserly.

Class of ‘44 Holds 70th Reunion by Dorothy Townsend Casserly The graduation Class of 1944 from Belle Plaine High School gathered for its 70th reunion Thursday, July 17, at Suzette’s Restaurant. Primary among concerns of the alumni present was their small number. From the home room group of 30 who once gathered under Harold Albrecht’s count every morning, attendance at

the luncheon numbered only four. Two members of that class could not attend, the others are no longer living. Present were Eldora (Woestehoff) Schmidt of Belle Plaine, valedictorian of the class; Marvel (Wolpern) Tesch of LeSueur, Robert Gatz of Minnetonka and Dorothy (Townsend) Casserly of Minneapolis. Unable to attend were Merwyn Roufs of Belle Plaine and Pat Lucy of Scottsdale, Ariz. Among those present were two who were members of this class in its early years but they graduated elsewhere. They are Lorna Jones from Le Sueur High School and Laura (Otto) McConnell from Jordan High School. A display of photos of past reunions intrigued the gathering. The early ones, 19 years in 1963, 25 years in 1969 and 30 years in 1974 featured some

faculty members as well as Superintendent M.G. Lindquist, who noted 1944 was his first year in charge of the school. In more recent years, 1984, 1989 and 1994, the number of celebrants did diminish. It was down to 10 for the 60-year photo in 2004. Conversations at the luncheon ranged from reminiscences of World War II that absorbed most of our male graduates. D-Day occurred soon after our late May ceremony. The talk moved onto to counts of children and great-grandchildren, and of course health, a common obsession of people in their late 80s. There was talk too of nursing homes and cemeteries, of the good life we’d had despite the deaths of most of our spouses, and fond memories of life in the 1940s. No decision was made on when to schedule the next reunion.

His Passion is Steam Engines Wyman Revels in Old-School Power

Daniel Wyman knows this may sounds a little peculiar, but he finds algebra to be a little dull. But give him the chance to spend hours working on calculations on the operations of a steam-powered tractor, and he’ll gladly accept the assignment. “This math is kind of fun. It’s math that applies to something,” he said. “I have books, hundreds of pages on them. I’d be up all night.” Wyman just gets a kick out of learning about and spending time around steam engine. He’s one of the few 17-year-olds in Minnesota with a historical steam boiler operator’s license. The license issued by the state allows him to operate a steam tractor during a show like the Scott-Carver Threshers will present Friday-Sunday (Aug. 1-3) at the Threshers Festival Site just east of the Scott County Fairgrounds. The senior-to-be at Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School will help run the steam tractor presentations during the annual festival. He looks forward to the camaraderie among steam enthusiasts. “I just like operating steam engines. It’s very interesting how they made things work,” he said. Wyman, whose family lives about six miles northeast of Belle Plaine on County Road 40, just this side of East Union, has hands-on knowledge of steam tractors. Wyman and his family own two old-time steam tractors they are restoring with

plans to display and operate them during Threshers festivals. The family owns a 1917 Minneapolis threshing machine and tractor. It’s the smallest model the company made that year. Weighing about 20,000 pounds and its rear wheels standing six feet tall, the machine generates 50 belt horsepower with its engine producing 50 pounds of pressure per square inch. The family acquired it from a collector in Baldwin, Kan. in the spring of 2011. It’s one of seven still in existence of the 300 the Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company made that year. Four of the remaining seven have consecutive serial numbers.

‘Almost Perfect’

Earlier this year, with the help of a 1960 Case half-scale 80horsepower tractor, Wyman got the old tractor-threshing machine’s engine running for the first time in 70-plus years. “It ran almost perfect. I was surprised on how well it ran for sitting all those years,” he said. The threshing machine-tractor was used primarily for threshing. It still has residue of wheat chaff embedded in the grease. But the machine needs a lot of work and expensive parts. Its boiler needs to be replaced and the engine needs work, too. He plans on presenting the threshing machine-tractor at the 2015 Threshers festival. The Wyman family also owns a 1907 Minneapolis Threshing

Machine Company steam tractor. The family bought it last spring from a friend in Forest City, Iowa. It is the last year the company made using a 20horsepower flue boiler. “It’s one of a kind,” Wyman said. Like the 1917 tractor, “it needs some work,” he said. But parts for a 97-year-old tractor aren’t exactly available at the local implement dealership. Wyman and his family scours the region and nation looking for collectors who have original parts or for manufacturers who made identical replacement parts. He’d like to have it ready for public display in 2016. The upcoming Threshers show and shows like it around the country are treasure troves of information, with collectors always willing to share information. “You learn where to look,” he said. “The steam (engine collectors) community is a close community. There’s a lot of sharing of information.” Wyman’s affinity for tractorsthreshing machines might also be based on family history. His great-grandfather worked for the Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company. He was a painter. The family’s tractor restoration business provides the Wyman’s a conduit to old-school tractor enthusiasts. The Wyman’s restore tractors. The yard has several tractors parked in it, mostly John Deere models from the 1920s to 1960s.

Noteables to Perform Aug. 1 For Le Sueur’s Giant Days celebration, The Noteables are once again conjuring up musical magic with their “Makin’ Magic with Medleys” concert. Songs from Broadway like “Oh What a Beautiful Morning” (from Oklahoma) and “Candle on the Water” (from Pete’s Dragon) and some lively toe-tappers. The concert will be Friday, Aug. 1 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. Refreshments will be served after the concert. “Makin’ Magic with Medleys” also mixes in great nostalgia tunes like “Loch Lomond” and “Blue Skies.” But the centerpieces of the show are the great medley numbers like “Irving Berlin’s America” and “Rogers and Hammerstein on Broadway.” One medley even spoofs medleys – “...Give me a choral

medley, where songs barely last one phrase...” The Noteables promise to bestow musical delights upon their audience with their magical medleys. 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, St. Peter, and Mankato. Newest members include Pete Favolise and Phil Lee of Le Sueur; Ginny Morgan of Jordan; Barb Warner of Belle Plaine and Dean Wolf of Mankato. “I really enjoy singing again – and with such a large group,” says Barb Warner of Belle Plaine. “The music is fun and we know it will bring great memories to our audience.” Gordon Gregersen, former LS-H vocal music teacher, directs the group. Avis McDaniel of St. Peter is the accompanist.

Norm and Lori Pint Named Scott County Farm Family of the Year

While reading this past week, I ran across a news article about a run-off election. Thinking I may have missed something, I followed the link to read the article. It was for some political office in Georgia. I had not missed anything. It does make one wonder what kind of turn-out they get for an election in the middle of summer. Between vacations and busy schedules, I am guessing the voter participation to be quite light. However, it did make me realize that we unconsciously vote by our daily actions. Certain songs are popular because of the number of downloads or purchases. The same goes for cars, clothing styles and pretty much anything that we buy or borrow. YouTube keeps track of the numbers of times each video is watched. This of course leads me to the library. We have authors that are very popular. They receive “votes” by the number of people that read their works. The length of a waiting list is a form of vote. There is no denying that certain books are favorably selected over all others. These reading trends help the library systems order the right books in the right quantities. It is a system that works quite well. We hope to see you in the coming days as you pick out your current favorites. Look for these upcoming Bookawocky summer reading program events. For more detailed information look on-line or stop in at the library. Wednesday, July 30 Movie and Pizza Night for Teens. Registration is required.

The Minnesota Farm Family Recognition Program has announced that the Norm and Lori Pint Prairie Haven Farm of New Prague is this year’s Scott County Farm Family of the Year. The Farm Family Recognition Program has existed for over two decades and honors farm families from throughout Minnesota for their contributions to the agriculture industry and their local communities. All of the honored farm families have made significant contributions to Minnesota agriculture and their communities. The 2014 Farm Family Recognition program will take place on Thursday, Aug. 7 at 1:30 p.m. at Farmfest. The Pint family ancestors came

to the U.S. from Germany and homesteaded the Pint family property around 1862. Norm and Lori began farming the property in 1974. They grew corn and soybeans and raised a few beef cattle and chickens. During the 1980s, both Norm and Lori worked full-time jobs off the farm, so the cropland was rented out, except the amount needed to feed the livestock. In the 1990s, Norm and Lori sold all but 20 acres of the homestead, keeping the acres that had the house and outbuildings. Since selling most of their land, Norm and Lori have raised sheep and today have a successful lamb and wool business on the farm that became a century farm in 1984. Norm and Lori have three

children – Karl, Amy and Elliot, and five grandchildren – Bethany, Ben and Thomas Pint, Lauren Durand and Luke Pint. Norm is a member of the Scott County Farm Bureau. He is also a general manager of the Scott County Fair and a member of the New Prague Rural Fire Association, while representing Belle Plaine Township. Lori is the secretary for the Scott County Agricultural Society. She is also involved in starting a new event called Autumn Fare, which promotes local farms, locally produced food, local arts and artists. Lori is also involved with the Scott County Farm Advisory Board and the Local Harvest Alliance as well as secretary for their local saddle club since 1987.

Scott County Taking In-Depth Look at Proposed Mine EIS Should Be Ready for Board Decision in December Scott County’s latest proposed gravel mine will, like its predecessor, be the subject of a detailed environmental review. Merriam Junction Sands, LLC is proposing to develop approximately 682 acres of land in Louisville Township for non-metallic mineral mining and processing on land west of Highway 169 and south of of the highway’s intersection with County Road 14 and Minnesota Valley Garden Center). It’s larger than the Great Plain’s mine to the south, with the two mines cumulatively using 1,200 acres. The EIS will look at a wide array of impacts to the environment, including the impact of dewatering, blasting, and sand dust/ air quality on area residents. It will look at the impact of the proposed use on the land and nearby properties, cover types, proposed and alternative technologies used in the proposed operation, odors, noise, nearby resources, visual impacts, as well as the impact on nearby land uses and public infra-

structure. It will also consider the potential social and economic impacts on nearby communities. The proposed mine operators need an array of permits from local, state and federal regulatory agencies as well as approval of Union Pacific Railroad. The study will also be open to public comment from, local governments, agencies and the public. Scott County commissioners are scheduled for an EIS adequacy decision in December.

The Project

The project is located on property owned by Malkerson Sales, Inc. (Malkerson Sales) and Bryan Rock Products, Inc. (Bryan Rock). The land has a history of mining activity including the production of construction aggregates from both sand and gravel mining and limestone quarrying and processing, according to the EIS scoping document. Some of the parcels have been mined in the past. Some are currently being mined and some have not been mined. Several of the parcels have current non-mining related uses, such as the Renaissance Festival and other seasonal events and a stable and horse training area.

The project involves the continuation of the production of construction aggregates from the sand and gravel and limestone deposits as well as mining industrial silica sand associated with the Jordan sandstone, which underlies the sand and gravel and limestone deposits. The county says previous mining and quarrying activity have removed the overlying unconsolidated sediments and the limestone over much of the site. Currently, there are active quarry operations on both the Malkerson Sales and Bryan Rock properties. Mining activity associated with the unconsolidated sand and gravel and quarrying of the Prairie du Chien Group will continue. The mining activity includes clearing of trees and vegetation as may be necessary, removal of topsoil and overburden, blasting, extraction, processing (crushing, washing, screening), and stockpiling. Before sandstone mining can begin, the transition material will be removed through blasting and subsequent removal of the transition material with an excavator and/or loader. The transition material will be stockpiled for later use in reclamation, or once a large enough mining area has been completed, the transition material will be hauled to the active reclamation area and placed directly as reclamation fill.

Dear Editor,Â In the past three years, the Belle Plaine Food Shelf has been fortunate to receive many donations of food. During the month of August, we are trying a different type of campaign. August 26 is "National Toilet Paper Day." In honor of this day, we are trying to see how much paper we can collect for the Food Shelf. Toilet Paper, Paper towels, and Kleenex are expensive for us to buy, and we rarely see it donated. Consequently, we are asking people, during the month of August, when you buy paper for yourself, feel free to pick up a little extra for the food shelf.

Dear Editor,Â As the parents of Scott Honour, who is running for Governor of Minnesota, we have been extremely lucky to be able to travel the state talking about his plan to better our great state for years to come.Â Visiting Belle Plaine this week was an absolute pleasure. This city has so much charm and such a wonderful Minnesota feel, and the residents were more than welcoming. We chatted with a variety of folks introducing them to our son and hearing what they are looking for in their next governor. We once again heard that Minnesotans want a change from the politics as usual sort of candidate and would rather have a candidate with a history of getting results. Scott Honour has done that in business, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also excelled as a husband and father to three beautiful children. The primary election is August 12Â and if you would like a conservative businessman, rather than a career politician, please vote for our son, Scott Honour. Sincerely, John & Marlys Honour Watertown, MN

100 East Main St.,

son of Jerry and Mary Hanlon, graduated with a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in business administration and accounting on July 20 from the College of St. Thomas in St. Paul. Six local boys completed safety patrol training at Legionville Training Center near Brainerd. Attending from Belle Plaine Elementary School were David Entinger, Adrian Albrecht and Jon Ploetz. Attending from Trinity Lutheran School was Corey Ince, while Mike Mahoney and Tom Hoelz represented Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic School. At a special meeting of the Jordan City Council that Saturday morning, high school Principal Don Tillman was selected as the new Jordan mayor. He replaced Gail Anderson, who had been removed from office. A local baseball committee was formed to make a bid to host the 1986 state amateur baseball tournament in Belle Plaine and Jordan. Fred Keup, Wally Witt, John Bailey and Ed Townsend from Belle Plaine were on the committee, along with John and Bill Breimhorst and Paul Sunder of Jordan. Robert Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donoghue of Belle Plaine was one of 1,800 youths from throughout the country to compete in the National High School Rodeo in Rapid City, S.D. Robert placed 11th in saddle bronc and 21st in bull riding. The Belle Plaine town baseball team beat Victoria 7-5 in the opening game of the league playoffs and then lost to Shakopee in a heartbreaker 12-11 after the Tigers blew leads of 8-3 and 11-8. The Tigers would next face the loser of the Jordan vs. Shakopee game in the double-elimination tournament. Terry Knop, Erik Johnson, Jeff Miller, Paul Fogarty and Tom Gregory were the leading hitters for Belle Plaine in the playoffs so far.

The Belle Plaine Cable Board voted 3-1 to accept the bid of Dowden Communications, Inc. of Atlanta, GA., to provide the cable television franchise to serve Belle Plaine. The company had over 20 franchises in Minnesota communities. The Belle Plaine School Board had made a number of budget cuts and unless a proposed referendum of 3 to 5 mill was passed, the schools would probably have to make more drastic and deep cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The basic problem facing the school board is a projected shortfall of revenue by July 1, 1985 of $48,000 and by the following year it would reach $212,000,â&#x20AC;? stated Superintendent John Bartholow. Scott County Fair Board Treasurer William Chard and Secretary Maynard Harms commented that attendance at the 1984 Scott County Fair was between 15,000 and 16,000, about the same as the previous year. The weather was hot and sunny all four days. The harvesting of small grains was underway and most reports of winter wheat yields were 40 to 50 bushels per acre. Spring wheat had not yet been harvested. According to Scott County Extension Agent David Hart, the harvest was looking good. Some local farmers were finding the best yields on lighter soil because the heavy rains of mid-June tended to drown out some of the grain. Governor Rudy Perpich appointed a 13-member commission to select a new state-backed convention center project. Jim Daly of Belle Plaine was named to the commission. Mary Widmer was honored at the Scott County Fair as one of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outstanding Senior Citizens. She was born in Belle Plaine Aug. 8, 1909 and attended St. Peter and Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School and worked at the Lutheran Home. She moved to Shakopee in the mid-1950s and was employed at St. Francis Hospital. She performed a great deal of community service work. Harold Case of Shakopee was the other senior citizen honoree for 1984. Dan Hanlon of Belle Plaine,

a third term and seven people filed for the job.

On Sunday, Jim, his daughter, Ann Margaret Hansen, her husband, Matt and their son, Andrew ran in the Kolacky Days Bun Run. Andrew, for the second year in a row, was the overall winner of all the race runners. Ann won 1st in her womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age division and Jim won 3rd in his menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age division. He also was the oldest runner in the race. After a nap, he went water skiing at the Walker lake home. That was his triathlon. Saturday morning, family gathered at the home of Barny and Jean Burns, as Jean hosted a Baby Shower honoring daughterin-law, Tami Burns and the beautiful little baby girl sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to have.

Madelyn Landwer, this writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4-1/2 year-old granddaughter, fell on the playground today at her daycare. The doctor at Urgent Care reported after examining the x-ray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is the happiest little girl Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen...with a broken arm.â&#x20AC;? Giant Days in Le Sueur this coming weekend. Have a good week, folks.

Belle Plaine School Board OKs WiFi on Four Activity Buses

Now that the school board has approved iPads for students, Belle Plaine students will be able to utilize new wireless Internet connections to do homework while traveling to and from school-related activities. Monday (July 28), the school board approved a plan to enable students to access the Internet via wireless hotspots (modems) on four activity buses. The connections are intended for students to do schoolwork as if they were at home. Superintendent Kelly Smith used the tennis team’s road trip to Blue Earth as an example of time when students could use the wireless access to study. The information the students access must still have to pass through the district’s filters, he said. The school board OK’d a 10-gi-

gabyte plan in each of the buses. Verizon Wireless quotes the district $80 per month per bus. The modems cost about $500 each. “The data can be shared between devices if we are running low on one and have extra on another,” Smith said. “This will be a trial run as we will need to see what kind of utilization occurs with this option for students.” In other action at its July 28 meeting, the Belle Plaine School Board: • Paid bills totaling $3,165,797.79. • Accept the resignation of Kristine Tocko, elementary teacher. • Hired Carly Rothstein, thirdgrade teacher, at $33,754. • Hired Bryce Jacobson, Chatfield Elementary media/technology specialist, at $34,704.

Friends of Rush River News by Beverly Brandt A special meeting of the Friends of Rush River group met at the Henderson Roadhaus on July 17 for the main purpose of deciding on the whereabouts of the annual summer dance. Rush River Park was inundated by floodwaters from the recent rains. Banks washed out and the park is almost totally covered with silt, etc. It was decided to have the dance and the location has been changed to Bender Park in Henderson. It will be held Saturday, Aug. 23. Put this on your calender and help with the cleaning up of Rush River Park. The band will be contacted and a possible food stand at the site will be checked into. The secretary’s report was read and approved. There was no treasurer’s report. Sibley County Commissioner Jim Nytes was present to give some information on the county’s plans to help the group with damage repair. The county will supply the gravel to repair the roads. We will need prices on maintenance needs and a total to submit to the county for possible help. Sentence to Serve may be available to help with the cleanup. The county seems to want to get back and involved in the park and is willing to help.

Council Reviews Timetable for Construction of Overpass (continued from page 1) with cloverleafs and all, which could cost approximately $15 million. But Alternative 2B would be enough to provide access to potential economic properties on both sides of Highway 169 for less than half of the cost. When it came time to vote on Appendix E in April, it wasn’t the need to pursue money for the overpass project that resulted in two no votes, but rather the location of the bridge. “I don’t approve of this,” said Council Member Gary Trost. “I don’t like where the bridge is. I think it should go straight over (Highway 169). Council Member Paul Chard agreed with Trost, saying that the crossing should be on a straight line with County Road 3/Meridian Street. Mayor Mike Pingalore said the city has already gone down that road with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), and that the agency is opposed to it. He added that reproposing a crossing right at Highway 169 and County Road 3 would set the project back years and possibly force the relocation of Stier Bus Company. It would also cost twice as much. “You think coming up with the money ($7.5 million) is difficult now, try coming up with $15 million,” Pingalore said. “This bridge is very important to our community. I think this is the next step in the growing of our community.”

Scott County would pitch in at least $700,000 of the project cost and the rest could be financed through a variety of sources, including bonding. The city is hopeful that the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) may fund a percentage of the cost as well. Pingalore stated this week that each of the council members “responded in the affirmative” when asked by him if the city should continue moving forward with the project. He added that City Engineer Joe Duncan will next proceed with the topographical and geological surveys and report back to the council at its Aug. 18 meeting. Pingalore said he’s hopeful construction can begin next June, but added that perhaps 2016 may be more realistic. Conceptual Schedule Aug 4-29: Utility coordination, topographic survey and soil boring reports. Sept. 1-26: Prepare bridge structure study, identify bridge type, aesthetics and cost estimate. Oct. 13-Nov. 14: Prepare preliminary bridge design plans and obtain Mn/DOT Bridge Office approval. Dec. 19-Feb. 27: Prepare final bridge plans and specifications and obtain Mn/DOT Bridge Office approval. April 27-May 22: Advertise, bid and award construction contract.

Superintendent’s Update

By Dr. Kelly Smith

As parents begin making plans for the new school year to begin, I encourage everyone to understand the new rules and requirements for school immunizations that were approved this past year. I located the following information on the MN Department of Health website. Changes to immunization requirements for children in Minnesota child care, early childhood programs and schools will better protect children and communities from a number of potentially serious diseases, say state health officials. The new rules adopted by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) for this year will apply to children enrolling in programs beginning Sept. 1, 2014, and bring Minnesota’s immunizations law in line with current national recommendations and practices. Among the biggest changes, the rules for children in child care and grades preK-12 now call for: * Hepatitis A and B vaccination for children enrolling in child care or early childhood programs. * Replacement of the current seventh-grade tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccination with one that also includes pertussis (Tdap). * Meningococcal vaccination for secondary students, beginning in seventh grade. The rules do not change the medical exemption or the option for parents to decline any or all vaccines for conscientious reasons. Some additional changes to the school and child care immunization rules make modifications in the timing of certain doses of required vaccines to match current medically acceptable standards and put early childhood programs that meet regularly for six weeks or more under the immunization rule. More details on the changes are available at: www.health.state.mn.us. From now until Sept. 1, 2014, immunization program staff at MDH will be working with other state agencies, local public health departments, school personnel, child care providers, health care providers and professional organizations to make sure Minnesota parents are aware of the new requirements and have ample opportunities to make sure their children are current on their immunizations. The changes are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and other medical and public health groups. They are supported by the Minnesota Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Minnesota Medical Association, Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians, Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, Minnesota Child Care Association, Minnesota Licensed Family Child Care Association, the March of Dimes, and local public health agencies. “Vaccinations promote children’s good health and well-being,” said Minnesota Department of Human Services Commissioner Lucinda Jesson. “This rule change will only help in our efforts to ensure safe environments for children in child care.” 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. Go Tigers!

B.P. Boy Ejected in Single Vehicle Crash A Belle Plaine boy was ejected from a four-door pickup truck in a single-vehicle rollover crash west of Arlington Sunday morning (July 27). The crash occurred near the intersection of 431st Avenue and 240th Street in Dryden Township around 11:17 a.m. The ejected passenger, Darren Jeurissen, 14, was airlifted to North Memorial Medical Center with non-life threaten-

ing injuries, said Sibley County Sheriff Bruce Ponath. The driver, Andrew Bullert, 17, of Arlington, lost control of the vehicle in the curve from westbound 240th Street to southbound 431st Avenue. Bullert and rear-seat passenger were wearing seatbelts and remained in the rolling vehicle. The other two boys were treated at Sibley County Medical Center and released.

The wagons emphasize the weight and size would commence straggling in of the giant. here from Shakopee early in the One of our townsmen of the morning, never stopping at Jor- period was “Daddy” Larkins, dan, but the inhabitants of the whom I have referred to before.

He was a small man but very active for his years. He always carried a cane; don’t know but what it was a blackthorn from Ireland. While he was of a jolly disposition he could get very excitable if he wasn’t having the best of an argument. He was also a great man for investigating things. Barnum’s wagon with the giant was lined up with the animal cages, with one side dropped down to give a good view of the reclining giant. The place was roped off so no one could get within 12 or 15 feet of the wagon and a guard was at hand to see that you did not get any closer. It happened that as “Daddy” Larkins was standing with the crowd looking at the grey stone colored body, the guard’s attention was called to a racket in one of the animal cages. “Daddy” in a flash dodged under the rope and ran his cane into this suppose-to-be stone giant, showing that it was hollow and made out of something of the nature of papier-mache. “Daddy” Larkins was looked upon as a good deal of a hero that day. Ringling Bros. used to show here almost yearly. In an advertisement in the Herald as late as 1886 they announced that “they would be the only big show coming the Belle Plaine that year.” Great Double Shows and Congress of Wild and Trained Animals” is the ad heading. They announced seating capacity for 6,000 people, and a grand street parade. Ringlings had grown to be a big circus by that time, and our older residents will remember seeing all the brothers with their shows. Gamblers and confidence men used to follow the circuses, but the reputable managers used to do what they could to check the city slickers. On the departure of the Ringling circus in 1886 the Herald said: “They were the most gentlemanly lot of showmen that ever pitched a tent in this burg.” The circuses that came here fifty to seventy years ago were big shows, carrying big menageries. Today St. Paul and Minneapolis consider themselves lucky if they have one circus a year.

Area Man Charged With Assault, Violating No-Contact Order

A Shakopee man is charged with domestic assault in Belle Plaine and violating a no-contact order. Shawn Michael Meyer is in the Scott County Jail. He is scheduled for a bail hearing on two gross-misdemeanor charges this morning (July 30, 11 a.m.) in Scott County District Court. According to Belle Plaine Police, Meyer allegedly broke through a woman’s door at the Belle Plaine Motel July 11 and struck her in the head two or three times with a baseball bat. Police responded to the domestic assault call and found the woman crying on the porch of the motel. She had blood on her head and legs and her shirt and shorts were also bloodstained. The woman told police it was Meyer, 28, who assaulted her with the baseball bat. Police arrested Meyer shortly thereafter. At his bail hearing

July 14, the judge issued a nocontact order prohibiting him from any contact with the victim. Subsequent criminal charges against Meyer allege he called his mother from the Scott County Jail July 17 and asked her to speak to the woman he allegedly assaulted. Telephone calls from offenders and accused offenders in the jail are recorded. The charge states Meyer asked his mother to call the woman and tell her she did not have to show up in court. The criminal charge states Meyer knows he has a no-contact order. Belle Plaine police listened to a recorded message from Meyer’s mother to the woman where she allegedly relayed the message from her son. Meyer’s record includes a 2009 fifth-degree domestic assault conviction.

Cologne Finally Approves CR 36 Water Main Looping Project Project Well Above ’07 Cost Estimates

Despite the lone bid Cologne received for its largest public improvement project since the construction of its second water tower and city hall/community center, the city council recently approved the long-discussed County Road 36 reconstruction and water main looping project. Minger Construction’s bid of $684,968.20 was the city council’s only option besides rejecting the bid and rebidding the project at a more favorable time. Jake Saulsbury, Cologne’s engineer from Bolton & Menk, said the lack of available companies willing to bid on the project made it tough to create a competitive bidding climate. He said the late start to the construction season and many companies committed to other projects both in Minnesota and North Dakota limited the field of potential bidders. “It is what it is,” Saulsbury told the council at its July 21 meeting. “It’s not good news.” Attempts to lobby several area companies to bid on the job, including Chard Tiling & Excavating of Belle Plaine, proved unsuccessful. Saulsbury told the council he doesn’t expect the bidding climate to change in the near future. The city is financing the work via a loan from the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA). Cologne has long wanted to complete the loop of a water main serving the area north of Highway 212 on the city’s west side. It involves replacing an aging, undersized water main with newer, larger 10- and 12inch pipes and completing the loop with the rest of the system. The city hadn’t been able to complete the loop because it didn’t have the financing in place and lacked an OK to run a water main under Highway 212 or under the Twin Cities & Western Railroad line. But with the loan and agreements with the state and railroad in place, the work can proceed. The old 6-inch line has suffered four breaks in the past four years. Each repair has cost between $3,500 and $4,000. The loop would improve water quality for houses and businesses and a more reliable flow for fire protection for the larger area, Saulsbury said. Given consumer complaints about water quality and the need for a more reliable water source in the event of a major fire, the council directed Saulsbury to move forward with the project. Financially, the city is expecting the benefits of between 16

and 18 new homes next year. Councilor Jeff McInnis raised concern the city is doing a project it can’t potentially afford based “on what might happen.” “It’s a project we need to do,” said Councilor Don Meyer, who served as acting mayor in Matt Lein’s absence. The bid was well above the $560,000 estimate Bolton & Menk wrote in 2007. But the PFA will cover the increased cost, said City Administrator John Hendel. The final cost will be approximately $780,000, he said. Hendel assured the council the city can afford the project and that it was worth doing. Construction should begin this fall.

In other action at its July 21 meeting, the Cologne City Council: • Paid bills totaling $50,0048.06. • Heard a preliminary request from Cologne Academy for $11 million in conduit bond financing for school expansion. The bonds, if issued, will be at no financial risk to the city. The council must determine any fees it wishes to charge the school for the process. • Received its 2013 audit from Eide Bailly, the city’s auditing firm. • Discussed conducting a feasibility study aimed at attracting a hotel to Cologne. The study could cost approximately $8,000 with no guarantee a firm might come to the city.

The team’s members impressed large audiences with axe-throwing, speed climbing and log-rolling.

by Brett Kruschke, Mike Schultz and Matt Schultz A year ago, the Belle Plaine town baseball team finished the regular season on an upswing and took a 12-16 record into the playoffs before finishing second at state. This year, the Tigers finished the regular season on an upswing and take an 11-13 record into the playoffs, with their postseason fate soon to be determined. With the state tournament being played on their home field next month, can the Tigers drum up another round of last year’s magic? Despite a subpar overall record, Belle Plaine went 9-4 in the RVL-Central to comfortably secure the division’s No. 2 seed and a home game Friday in the Region 6C playoffs. The foe will be New Ulm Kaiserhoff, with the first pitch at 7:30 p.m. There will be two umpires – it’s big time now! See the accompanying bracket for all scenarios but should the Tigers win Friday, they’d face St. Peter (away) or Chanhassen (home) at 6 p.m. Sunday for the chance to clinch a state tourney berth. Of course, should the Tigers suffer a setback this weekend, the road becomes longer and more winding through the loser’s bracket. The past week saw the Tigers sandwiched a pair of convincing victories against Le Sueur and Fairfax with a narrow loss to Henderson – BP’s fourth straight loss to Henderson and

fifth in the last six match-ups. Tigers 8, Le Sueur 3 The Tigers travelled to Le Sueur on Thursday to take on the Braves while attempting to lock up the No. 2 playoff seed from the RVL-Central Division. Belle Plaine sent August Farruggia to the mound and he did not disappoint, going five strong innings with two runs allowed. Dan Huber went the final four frames and gave up only one run. The Tiger bats were on fire and cranked out 14 hits in the triumph. Jake Fiedler stayed in a groove and led the Tigers offensively with three hits. Ryan Diers continued his own hot streak and hit a home run for the second straight game, while rookie Zach Juaire also had three hits. The Tigers played pretty good defense as well, committing only one error on the night. Henderson 3, Tigers 2 The Tigers of Henderson came to town to take on your local Tigers in the last regular-season home game of the year. It was fan appreciation night but no-one appreciated the Tigers coughing up a late lead. Jake Fiedler started on the mound in his final tune-up before the playoffs and looked locked in, going six innings without giving up a run and striking out five. Brad Lawson came in with a 2-0 lead and threw a scoreless seventh before running into trouble in the eighth. Lawson turned it over to Zac

Ryan Dungey Sweeps Races Ryan Dungey swept the 450 Class motos Saturday in the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship’s Washougal, Wash., National for his third victory of the year. Dungey, the Red Bull KTM rider from Belle Plaine, raced to his 30th career 450 Class victory. He’s second in the stand-

ings, 14 points behind teammate Ken Roczen with three races left. “Today was just about coming in and not worrying about the championship. There’s a lot of racing left,” Dungey said. “We just tried to put out our best effort and we did that.”

GEICO Honda’s Eli Tomac was second in both motos. “We got great starts and Eli kept us honest in that second moto, but I just really tried to put the hammer down and extend the gap,” Dungey said. “Fortunately, we did that. I love it here and this just feels awesome.”

Dahlke with two runners on and one out, having given up one run. Dahlke was not able to get out of the jam and allowed both runners to score – with one coming on a throwing error and another on a wild pitch – giving Henderson a 3-2 lead. Belle Plaine could not muster any runs the rest of the way against Matt Nagel, who went the distance. The Tigers only had three hits on the night, with Travis Latzke recording two of them. Diers continued his Brian Dozierlike power surge and smashed another home run, giving him three in his last three games and four on the year. Tigers 14, Fairfax 0 Belle Plaine took a light crew of 10 guys on the long road trip to Fairfax in the last regular season game. It was a fight at the bat rack in this one, and the Tigers look to continue the hot hitting in the playoffs. Diers started on the mound, throwing a complete-game, seven-inning shutout as the Tigers took this one via the 10n-run rule. Diers had 11 punchouts in the contest. Belle Plaine scored six runs in the fourth and eight in the fifth – batting around in back-to-back innings – en route to the whitewash victory. Trevor Latzke led the way at the plate with three hits and three RBI, including a basesloaded double. Four other Tigers had two-hit games, with the team tallying 13 knocks total.
