Members of Class of 2015 Set to ‘Write Their Own Stories’ by Dan Ruud With diplomas in hand, over 90 members of the Belle Plaine High School class of 2015 wrapped up their official business with the school and were greeted outside by sunshine and temperatures in the 80s to begin “writing their own stories for life after high school,” which was the theme of classmate Rylee Pumper’s graduation speech. “Often when I read a book, I find myself wondering when the action will start. When will the villain attack and the hero swoop in to save the day? When will I be so engulfed in the story that I can’t put it down? I think that’s the way a lot of us think about life; when will I be content with my life? When will I be so engulfed in my own story that I don’t want to change it? What we may not realize is that we are writing our own stories. Those questions are pointless to ask because we are the only ones who know the answer. Everyday is a fresh, blank page, and the moves we make become inerasable words on that page.” Later in her speech, Pumper reminded everyone how far the Members of BPHS’s state Class 1A champion 4x800-meter relay team took time out for a class has already come. photo near the center of Hamline University’s Klas Field on Saturday.

Belle Plaine Girls’ Track Team Comes Through Down the Stretch, Wins State Team Championship
by Dan Ruud The biggest flurry of state titles of any sport in Belle Plaine High School history occurred over the span of a few hours during Saturday’s finals of the Minnesota State High School Class 1A Girls’ Track and Field Meet at Hamline University in St. Paul. It started shortly after 3:30 p.m. when the 4x800-meter relay team of seventh-grader Emily Berger, junior Alissa Schultz, sophomore Haley Leger and senior Janessa Meuleners outraced the rest of the 16-team field in a time of 9:38.50, which was three seconds ahead of second-place Fairmont. Meuleners, the anchor, who had won countless races but no state titles during a combined 12 years of varsity cross country and track and field races for Belle Plaine, was not going to be denied in this race as she
got the baton from Leger a second or two before Fairmont’s exchange and it was all Belle Plaine the rest of the way. A couple of hours later, Belle Plaine junior Jenna Gatz successfully defended her state Class 1A championship in the 400-meter dash when she sprinted around the oval in a time of 57.11 seconds, which was more than a half-second ahead of Katie Eidem of Schaeffer Academy. The Tigers had two state titles in two hours, and after a another event or two, learned they had amassed enough points through the two-day meet to lay claim to the state Class 1A team championship, only the second state sports “team” title in school history. The girls’ golf team won the state crown almost two decades ago. The Tigers accumulated 56 points. Rounding out the top 10

Approximately 80 schools registered points in the meet. Every Belle Plaine girl in the nine events they qualified for in the state meet (relays included) contributed to the 56 team points. Joining the five already mentioned Tigers on that list was junior Bridget Egan, who for a second year in a row placed second in the pole vault by breaking her own school record by 3 inches with a height of 10 feet, 9 inches.

Warm Weather, Cool Water Hundreds of area youth were on hand for the Belle Plaine Municipal Pool’s season opener Friday afternoon (June 5). Warm sunshine was a stark contrast to the 60-degree water temperature in the pool. Swimmers spent much of the afternoon sitting along the edge of the pool, saving space for the hardiest of swimmers. The pool is open for recreational swimming Monday through Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. to dusk, weather permitting. It is open for lap swimming Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 8 a.m.
Metropolitan Council Says Belle Plaine is Losing Population Despite an increase in the number of new house building permits the city has issued over the past few years, the Metropolitan Council believes Belle Plaine’s population has dipped a bit since the 2010 Census. The latest set of Metropolitan Council’s preliminary 2014 population estimates show Belle Plaine has 6,538 residents living in 2,346 households. That’s a reduction of 123 residents and 16 households from the 2010 Census where the city has 6,661 residents in 2,362 households. “We were also surprised by the estimates given that we have seen an uptick in our new home permits,” said Mayor Mike Pingalore. The Met Council uses the housing stock from the 2010 Census as the baseline and then adds in new structures permitted since then, Pingalore said. Since 2010, Belle Plaine has issued 40 permits for new sin-

there are fewer households.� The Metropolitan Council also reported a decrease in manufactured housing in Belle Plaine, from 61 in 2010 to 53 in 2014. The mobile home park has 66 lots available and currently six are not occupied. “These estimates seem to be more of an art than a science and the Met Council recently changed the methodology to included occupancy rates, which may vary greatly from community to community,� he said. The Metropolitan Council and city will continue discussing the factors that go into population estimates. The city expects another preliminary population estimate from the Met Council later this year, said Chelsea Alger, Belle Plaine’s director of Community Development. The U.S. Census Bureau listed Scott County as home to 129,928 residents in 2010. The Met Council’s preliminary 2014 estimate shows the county gained 8,482 residents and 2,352 households since the decennial census. Shakopee, with an estimated population of 39,523 residents, was the county’s biggest population gainer with an additional 2,447 residents since 2010. The county’s largest city also gained 683 households. Savage gained 2,136 residents and Prior Lake 1,968 between 2010 and 2014, according to the Met Council’s preliminary estimates. Across the river in Carver County, Chaska and Chanhassen continue to vie for the honor as the county’s largest city. Chaska’s 2010 population was 23,770 residents – 818 more than Chanhassen. The Metropolitan Council’s 2014 estimate has Chaska at 25,270 with Chanhassen at 24,503 – a difference of 767 residents. Waconia is Carver County’s third largest city at an estimated 2014 population of 11,520 – an increase of 823. Cologne and Carver have both enjoyed population growth since 2010. Carver’s estimated population is up to 4,293. It was 3,724 in 2010. Cologne’s estimated population is 1,633 in 2014. It was 1,519 at the decennial census. Hamburg, in southwest Carver County, was the only city in the county to lose population. Its population dropped by a dozen residents, from 513 to 501, between 2010 and 2014. Overall, the seven county metropolitan area has an estimated population of 2.98 million residents, an increase of over 127,800 since the 2010 census was completed.

Unmacht to Take Helm of League of Minnesota Cities
Thirty-two years after he took his first job in municipal government in Belle Plaine, Dave Unmacht will take charge of the League of Minnesota Cities, replacing the retiring Jim Miller as the league’s executive director. Unmacht is currently a senior vice president for Springsted Inc., a job he took in 2009 after leaving his post as Scott County’s administrator. Springsted is one of the largest public-sector advocacy firms in the United States. Unmacht will officially start his new job as the LMC executive director Aug. 1. At Springsted, he has been heavily involved in recruitment of key staff and upperlevel management for cities and counties. He helped Sibley County hire its first two administrators. He also helps local governments create strategic plans and other services. “Jim Miller has done a great job over the past two decades. It’s an honor to follow him,” Unmacht said. “This is an absolutely exciting time to be in municipal government. I look forward to working with cities
as we take on challenges and establish where we’re going moving forward.” Unmacht maintains a passion for public sector service and has fond memories of working in cities dating back to 1983 when he was hired in Belle Plaine. “They took a chance on a young man fresh out of school and I’ll always appreciate that,” Unmacht said. The League of Minnesota Cities is a membership organization dedicated to promoting the needs of municipal government. It serves its 800-plus member cities through advocacy, education and training, policy development, risk management, and other services. Unmacht’s resume includes public-sector service Prior Lake as its city manager after he left Belle Plaine. He served as Dakota County’s deputy administrator. He holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and business administration from Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, and a master’s of public administration degree from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.
Dahle Comments on Upcoming Special Session by Sen. Kevin Dahle As the negotiations for the upcoming special session wind to a close, Sen. Dahle (DFLNorthfield) and his colleagues are preparing to travel back to St. Paul to vote on the renegotiated bills after Gov. Dayton’s vetoes. “The need for a special session is unfortunate, but I am glad we have the opportunity to improve on our work. The bills that we passed contained many good provisions, but also contained some that I disagreed with strongly. The votes we cast were at times difficult, but the principle of compromise is one of the basic themes of democracy that I teach to my civics students. It is important to me to practice those ideals when considering new legislation.” With the House and the Senate promoting very different visions of how Minnesota should move forward, Dahle has previously commented on the challenges and opportunities presented by divided government. He is hopeful that the newlynegotiated changes will reveal an even better product for Minnesota citizens. “Increasing Minnesota’s support for education is important, and we are giving a much need-
ed boost to the funding formula; proposals for universal pre-K will receive more finetuning in years to come, and I’m sure we will end up with a policy that reassures all parties and best serves families across the state,” said Dahle. “In particular, I expect critical changes to be made to the finance bill containing the environmental provisions,” Dahle continued. “I voted against the bill in the Senate because stripping away decades of environmental protections for our lands and waterways is unconscionable. I will be taking a close look at the new bill to make sure we are responsible stewards of Minnesota’s natural resources.” Senator Dahle has pledged to decline his pay and per diem for the days special session is held, on the grounds that elected officials should not be paid additional money for not completing their work in the time outlined in the Minnesota Constitution.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA
Thirty Years Ago This Week
Letter to the Editor
tion of outstanding contribution to the university. Lee Lynch, a freshman at the university, received the same award. Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Berger sold their store and home in East Union to Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Bengston.
90 Years Ago (1925)
Painting 110 Fire Hydrants In Tom Sawyer-like fashion, Andy Barlage, at right, involved his friends in a major painting project he took on in 1985 as one of his projects to earn his Eagle Scout Badge. Barlage had arranged with city officials to repaint all of the city’s 110 fire hydrants at no charge. The city provided the paint. Pictured assisting him were, from left, Loren Westphal, Dave Barlage and Zac McCall. Ed Barlage, Kelly Tritz and Jason Otto also helped out with the project. After more than 35 years in business in Belle Plaine, Matt and Agatha Tholkes closed their variety store for the last time. They had sold their building to Dr. Steven Jabs and then closed out their stock before closing. Matt’s Variety Store in Belle Plaine first opened in 1950 in the post office building, and in 1955 moved to the Knights of Columbus building, operating their until 1972. Since then, they were located at 201 South Meridian Street in the former Redman Motors building. U.S. District Judge Harry MacLaughlin issued an order dismissing the city of Jordan and several officials in Jordan as defendants in lawsuits arising out of the Scott County sex abuse cases. Minnesota Army National Guard Colonel Roger D. Delgehausen was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for his exceptional meritorious service from Nov. 15, 1983 to present. Alden Hardwick stepped down as scoutmaster of Belle Plaine Boy Scouts Troop 324. He had served a total of 11 years as cubmaster and scoutmaster here. Hardwick had rose to become an Eagle Scout as a boy, as did his sons Kirk, Tim and Todd. He would be succeeded as scoutmaster by Marshall McCall. Howard E. Affolter, 74, of Burnsville, formerly of Belle Plaine, passed away June 4 at his home. Mr. Affolter was born Dec. 8, 1911 in Belle Plaine the son of Emil and Susan (Soller) Affolter. He had originally been a farmer but in later years was employed by Control Data Corporation. Earl Henry Ruehling, 66, of rural Belle Plaine, passed away June 4. Mr. Ruehling was born in Belle Plaine Township to Paul and Minnie (Ahrens) Ruehling. He married Verna Dittmer May 26, 1940 and the couple farmed in St. Lawrence Township. He served as a township supervisor and was a member of the Scott County Fair Board, Agricultur-
al and Stabilization Conservation Service. The Belle Plaine swimming pool opened that Friday on a picture-perfect day on June 7, with 202 total swimmers. That number swelled to 261 the following Saturday when temperatures soared to 102 degrees. The weatherman soon made an about-face the following week as cool, wet weather forced the pool to be closed Monday and Tuesday. Capacity crowds were expected for the long-awaited opening of thoroughbred racing at the new 7,000-capacity Canterbury Downs Racetrack in Shakopee on June 26. The track was sold out for that day. Belle Plaine’s Laurie Wolpern closed out the 1985 track and field season that Saturday by winning two medals at the state track and field meet at Osseo High School. She placed fourth in the high jump with a height of 5-4 and was sixth in the 400meter dash in a time of 59.04. Melissa Malz, a senior, was BPHS’s representative on the 1985 all-conference softball team. Teammate Nola Heitkamp was honorable mention. The Belle Plaine town baseball team won two of three games that week, beating Cologne and St. Boni and losing to Jordan. Al Hentges had a two-run homer for the Tigers against Cologne.
60 Years Ago (1955)
Rosamunda Engfer, daughter of Ernest and Friederika Engfer, died in the hospital in Hastings at the age of 85. Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Schultz observed their golden wedding with an open house at the St. John’s Lutheran Church parlors. John Hallinan, former resident of Belle Plaine, died suddenly at the age of 66. He had worked as a barber here with the late Fred Logelin.

The Girl Scouts attended camp at Big Island. They were Karen Anderly, Mary Blume, Carmie Diers, Mary Jo Effertz, Janice Effertz, Judy Hoelz, Sheryl Lindquist, Jeanette Lockrem, Jan Lynch, Jean McCue, Carol Otto, Patty Perkins and Ann Ramstead. The leaders in charge were Martha Marks and Mrs. Lindquist. Edna Louis Barten, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Barten, became the bride of Flavian H. Weiers, son of Mrs. Celia Weiers. The big warehouse addition to the Min Valley milk plant was completed. The cost of the 44by 194-foot addition, including excavation into the hillside, was about $30,000. Jeanette Marie McCourtney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James McCourtney, became the bride of Raymond T. Diedrick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mathilda Diedrick of Albert Lea. Henry A. Bauer, formerly of Belle Plaine, died in Duluth. He was a first cousin of the Weiss, Keup and Chard families of this community. Betty Lou Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Johnson of East Union, became the bride of Leo Michael Wagner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tony Wagner of Belle Plaine. Mrs. Ida Bowler, widow of the late Charles Bowler, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Louis Goulet. She was 71 years old. Ed Ploetz, general chairman of the Fourth of July Committee, stated the annual celebration would follow the same schedule as past years. There would be baseball games, dolly buggy, pet, tricycle and bicycle parades, horseshoe contest, bingo and a variety of foot races, topped off by a gigantic display of fireworks. Jeanette Venske, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T.B. Venske, became the bride of Floyd H. Peterson Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd H. Peterson Sr. of Elmhurst, Ill. James Frank, son of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Frank, sailed from Quebec for Europe, where he was to study the automobile industry. Jim was one of 12 University of Minnesota students to study in foreign countries as part of the SPAN project. Most unexpected was the death of James T. Graham of Melrose while in Belle Plaine on a visit. He and his wife, nee Ruth Schoell, and daughter were visiting Mrs. Graham’s sister, Mrs. Carl Johnson. Helen Brelje, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roland Brelje of St. Paul, became the bride of George Savage, son of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice R. Savage of Belle Plaine. At the American Legion Auxiliary meeting, Mrs. Robert Anderson was elected president, Mrs. M.G. Lindquist first vice president and Mrs. Harold Hoelz second vice president. Karen Lynch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lynch, received a B.S. degree in education at the University of Minnesota commencement exercises. Miss Lynch also received the Ski-U-Mah award from the AllUniversity Congress in recogni-

The river was over its banks and bottom-land farmers feared another June flood. Dr. Ben Neubeiser departed for St. Charles, Mo., to become associated in medical practice with his uncle, Dr. Wentker. There would be no July 4th celebration that year as no local organization cared to sponsor a program. Maurice and Helen Bliss of Lidgerwood, N.D., stopped over for some days with their aunts of the Bliss and Siemon families while on their return from a motor trip to Philadelphia. Mrs. Sherlock had come from Oakland, Calif., to stay the summer with her sister, Mrs. John Mangan, who was ill. Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Schultz were happily surprised by 200 of their friends who gathered at their home to help them celebrate their 20th anniversary. Mrs. Ed Maus, youngest daughter of Minnie Johnson, died at the age of 18. The funeral was held in Jordan. Standard Oil Company started construction of a filling station on its corner lot on Main Street. Miss Angela Rihl became the bride of Donald Stewart of Minneapolis. The Belle Plaine creamery’s annual picnic had to compete with stormy weather, but a big crowd turned out. In the ballgame, the farmers beat the towners. There was a big turnout at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas R. Doheny for their silver wedding. Eide Von Lehe, retired Le Sueur farmer and president of the F & M Telephone, was hit by an automobile and died from his injuries. At Mankato took place the marriage of Frank Franciscus, formerly of Blakeley, and Miss Sophia Launane.
120 Years Ago (1895)
The election to give the school board authority to issue bonds for a new school building carried 159 to 79. The big German Settlement picnic was held at the Joseph Haas farm that year. The Belle Plaine band furnished music. A hailstorm cut a path of destruction across the south portion of Belle Plaine Township. Pat Sherlock found his hired man missing one morning and likewise one of his horses.
Dear Editor, An estimated 5 million children in the United States face mental health challenges. An even more staggering number is the 67% of those 5 million children who do not receive necessary support due to limited availability of resources driven by high costs within many communities. Mental health issues often appear for the first time in adolescence, with half of all cases of mental health disorders beginning by age 14. Therefore, mental health services in the schools are the most favorable setting for youth development strategies, social and emotional learning and behavioral modeling. Poor mental health can disrupt school performance, harm relationships, increase isolation and possibly lead to suicide. Schools are in an ideal position to identify emerging warning signs of mental illness and allow for more active supervision and behavior management of students, both in and out of the classroom. Within schools, district wide training leads to effective team planning and problem solving and there is no doubt that schools provide easier access to services for students and their families. In-school programs have led to improved grades, greater educational stability, enhanced emotional and behavioral health, decreased
suicide attempts and a reduction in future long-term health care costs. When it came to addressing the mental health needs of students, Belle Plaine was previously moving in the right direction. They have a very well organized group of staff trained and prepared to deal with student needs. Belle Plaine has decided to decrease mental health in their schools by eliminating the lone social work position in the district. Remaining overburdened staff are left with an even larger amount of students they must now support and fill the lapse of mental health services. Mental health is too critical to be ignored or mishandled. It is absolutely essential that we invest in our children through the support of qualified and licensed mental health professionals in our school, the setting in which they spend half their day. Together, all of us need to support our children intellectually, emotionally, and mentally. Kelly Vourlos (Previous School Social Worker) Laurie Green (High School Guidance Counselor) Amie Hohenstein (Student Support Specialist) Jerald Stauffacher (Teacher Union President)
Public Hearing Slated on Proposed Power Line Project Great River Energy’s proposed transmission line through Le Sueur County will be the subject of a county board public hearing June 11 at the courthouse in Le Center. The proposed 4.1-mile section of power line needs a conditional-use permit from Le Sueur County to be built. It is to be built north of Le Sueur. It will run along the west side of 265th Avenue, from 330th to 320th streets, then west along the north side of 320th Street to the Minnesota Valley Electric Co-op’s Tyrone Substation near the crossing of Myrick and 320th streets. GRE set an original route and then, following an open house where area residents raised concerns, considered a second route. After more complaints were raised at the second open house earlier this year, the company decided to go back to its original route. That route will run through property owned by Becky and Nick Pollack. They live on 265th Avenue in Tyrone Township. GRE’s proposed route will require the removal of a portion of the small woods area that serves as a windbreak for the Pollack’s house, the Le Sueur News-Herald recently
reported. The Pollack family is working on a petition to at least slow the approval process. The couple also believes Great River Energy has not taken the appropriate steps to select the least environmentally detrimental route and that the company’s research was rushed. They want the county and Environmental Quality Board (EQB) to require additional environmental study. GRE declined other possible routes because of ease of access for Xcel Energy, which will own and maintain the switch, as the GRE line will be tapping into an Xcel line. Other reasons include too many angle structures, too much construction, and too much burden on individual property owners. If the project is approved, GRE will move to easement negotiations with property owners over the summer.

Now that legal challenges have been exhausted, Sibley East School District is focusing on the beginning of construction of two voter-approved school projects. Work on the new elementary school in Gaylord and renovated/expanded secondary building in Arlington will begin next spring. This evening (June 10, 5 p.m.), the Sibley East School Board will approve the sale of $43.05 million in bonds. District administration was unwilling to sell the bonds until the legal challenge Nathan Kranz of rural Gaylord brought against the school district and its referendum on the bonds held last November was completed. The Minnesota Supreme Court recently decided it would not hear Kranz’s appeal of a Minnesota Court of Appeals ruling on the case. “This has been a long and difficult process. To say the least, the district is very happy to be able to move forward with the planning and development needed to begin the construction process,” said Superintendent Jim Amsden. The original sale date was set for January of 2015 and bond rates at that time would have been in the low 3 percent range, Amsden said. He expects Wednesday of this week (June 10) the bonds will sell for 3.75 percent or less based on estimates I have received from Ehler’s Financial. “Bond rates have been fluctuating recently is my understanding so we will have to see what Wednesday brings. I am confident it will be under the 4.25 percent we provided all the estimates on prior to the election,” Amsden said. Kranz argued the referendum outcome should be invalidated because the district did not meet deadlines for publishing referendum-related documents. The state district and appeals courts both ruled against Kranz. This summer and fall, the school district plans to dedicate

Sibley East School Building Work Will Begin Next Spring time to planning and design work. Gaylord public works crews will bring some fill to the new school site, but there will be no construction begun, the Gaylord Hub recently reported. In the fall, Sibley East plans to advertise the project for bids. The contractor should be selected in October. The new elementary school should be ready to open in August of 2017, not during the winter of 2016, as originally planned. Other work that will be handled before the onset of construction includes asbestos abatement at the secondary building in Arlington. Delays will likely prompt the district to start the 2016-17 school year late and end it earlier. Amsden said “it looks inevitable” there will be some sort of calendar disruption during the 2016-17 school year. The district may use longer school days to meet state standards for educational time. He is uncertain of the impact the court challenges will have on the cost of the projects. “The costs will be higher for bond interest and construction because of the delays,” Amsden said. “We will know more once the bonds are sold and we actually get the bid packages out and returned. This will likely be sometime in October of 2015.”

other necessities, ranging from Polly Pockets to Junie B. books to Mario games to Play Doh. “When they stumbled into their junior high years, they carried lunch money, secrets and hormones,� Jacobson continued. Among the other examples of things Jacobson said the class carried with them in junior high was “their parents’ pride, whether it was on the court or on the bench.� They also carried acne cream, a secret crush, and angst toward parents, adults and authority.� There was also “Axe body spray and more Axe body spray,� which drew considerable laughter from the graduates. “They were called freshmen or freshies their first year in high school, and then they grew to sophomores, juniors and seniors. They carried their fear of trying out for varsity activities, and once they carried a varsity title, they carried the never-ending voices of their coaches . . . They carried frustration, pride, a new driver’s license, iPads and questions about their new high school principal (Dave Kreft). Jacobson ran off long lists of things the class carried, ranging from Mountain Dew and Monster drinks to the pressure of keeping up with 21st Century learning. “In their lifetime, they had already seen the Internet, the first African American president, legalization of gay marriage, cloning, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and smartphones.� As for what the class will carry with them after high school, Jacobson presented another lengthy list of things, ranging from “the love of this town and school to the scars of adolescent war that will make you tougher when you face the tough stuff down the road.� Some will “carry military uniforms, their first real paycheck and the pressure of a college final.� “Now as you carry your diploma, carry the pride of today, where all of your blood, sweat and tears have paid off. The things the class of 2015 carried will always be a part of you no matter where you travel in the world.� Ten students graduated with high honors. Included were Megan Berger, Courtney Bris-

It is up to the individual to decide when to begin receiving Social Security beneďŹ ts. A person can take a reduced beneďŹ t as early as age 62. Or, a former employee can claim a full beneďŹ t at what the Social Security Administration considers to be full retirement age, which, for example, is 66 for anyone born between 1943 and 1954. Otherwise, a person can wait until age 70 for yet a larger beneďŹ t. Bear in mind that, once you elect to receive a reduced beneďŹ t, you remain at that level for the rest of your life (with normal cost-of-living increases). The longer you are apt to live, the more you beneďŹ t from waiting for the larger check. The current generation of retirees is more likely than the last generation to have active retirement years ďŹ lled with a mix of travel, sports, and education. How will you spend your retirement years, and how can you fund those years? Social Security may ďŹ ll only a limited amount of your ďŹ nancial demands.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA
BPHS Stands by Decision Not to Designate Valedictorians by Dan Ruud When Ryan Soller was valedictorian and Jesse Read salutatorion for the Belle Plaine High School class of 2008, the decision had already been made they would be the school’s last graduates to receive those titles. And the school district has stood by its decision as this past Sunday marked the seventh year in a row that no BPHS student has graduated with the title of valedictorian or salutatorion. When the question was posed on the Herald’s Facebook page last week, the dozen or so responses were overwhelmingly in favor of bringing the titles back. “Yes, I feel they should bring it back, the students who achieve that status work very hard to achieve it and are well deserving of the highest of honors. It takes a well disciplined individual to achieve this goal,” stated Tricia Burmeister. Kayla Coons agreed. “Yes, I agree – bring it back. Academics seem to take a backseat to athletics and that just isn’t right. There are assemblies and banquets and awards ceremonies for athletic accomplishments, but those who have maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA (grade-point-average) their entire school career get an honor cord at graduation with not one
mention of what it’s for or what they had to do to earn it. Years of hard work with no recognition along the way doesn’t give students much incentive. Probably why the honor roll numbers drop every year. Academic accomplishments will take them farther in life than the sports they play.” “Why was it taken away in the first place? I graduated from Jordan and the valedictorian of my class became a doctor while the salutatorian became a high-ranking member of the Air Force. They were/are awesome individuals,” stated Rose Ann Johnson. “This year the valedictorian and salutatorian at Jordan were honored at graduation. They addressed all facets of the student body and audience as well as the other speakers, and I believe they did a fantastic job. I hope Belle Plaine High School brings back these honors.” Belle Plaine School Superintendent Kelly Smith supported eliminating the valedictorian and salutatorian designation seven years ago and stands by the district’s decision today. “I believe that the biggest driver of the change was an attempt to encourage all students to take the most challenging courses possible during their high school careers. When recognizing a valedictorian and/or salutatorian, I believe that there is a temptation for students to start protecting their perfect 4.0s by not taking certain classes in an effort to achieve valedictorian or salutatorian status,” Smith said. “Our ultimate goal is to provide the most rigorous and challenging coursework that each individual student can handle in a manner that best
prepares them for their next step in life. Removing the pressure of attaining the valedictorian or salutatorian designation allows students to concentrate on classes they should be taking. “I believe that we recognize outstanding academic standing in a more broad manner now with our honors and high honors designations,” Smith continued. When Soller and Read became BPHS’s last recipients of the titles, 12 students graduated with high honors and 17 with honors. This year, 10 students graduated with high honors and 20 with honors. The 2008 class size was about 10 more than this year. A number of metro-area districts, including Anoka-Hennepin, Eden Prairie, Edina, Lakeville, Minnetonka and Wayzata, abandoned choosing valedictorians/salutatorians years ago. As for Minnesota River Conference schools, it’s a 4-4 deadlock on the issue. Still recognizing the titles are Jordan, Watertown-Mayer, Norwood Young America and Mayer Lutheran. Joining Belle Plaine in no longer doing so are Le Sueur-Henderson, Sibley East and Tri-City United. Prior to presenting the BPHS class of 2015 with their diplomas Sunday, Smith explained to the audience that students with high honors (a GPA of 3.85 or higher) are wearing gold cords, while students graduating with honors (3.5 to 3.84) are wearing silver cords. They were also acknowledged in the graduation program. There was no verbal “singling” out of any of the graduates.

Donating Lots of Locks
With the help of stylist Danielle Kruger, Annabelle Stith of Belle Plaine donated 8 inches of hair to Children With Hair Loss, a non-profit organization that makes wigs for children who’ve lost their hair due to illness or the side effects of medication. Fiftyseven people donated 1,972 inches of hair -- enough for 30 wigs -- at an event run by the Belle Plaine Girl Scouts and volunteers Saturday afternoon at Oak Crest Elementary. A Belle Plaine resident, Kruger works at The Pearl Salon in Shakopee. She was one of four stylists who donated their time to the event.
B.P. School Board Eyes Reduced Spending in 2015-‘16 variables is the district’s labor contracts with the union representing its teachers and the union representing Belle Plaine School District’s support, clerical and custodial staff. The school board is just starting negotiations with teachers and has yet to start talks with the support staff/custodians. Wages and benefits account for about 70 percent of the school district’s planned spending in 2015-16.

Plaine High School playoff game in St. Peter. Those that did play against the No. 3-ranked team in Class B put up a valiant effort but could not keep up with the firepower of Victoria’s lineup. The Tigers held a 2-1 lead heading into the bottom of the fifth inning. But a seven-run fifth inning, topped with a mammoth two-run shot off the bat of Eric “world’s strongest man” Winegarden, was too much for the Tigers. Clayton Meyer started on the mound, going 4.1 innings while giving up eight runs. Actingmanager Matt Schultz summoned himself for the final two outs of the fifth. Chase Emmers and Tyler Hartman each threw an inning, giving up two and one runs, respectively, with the latter making his Tigertown pitching debut. Also making his mound debut was Matt Ruehling, who came in and gave up three runs (two earned). Matt Schultz led the way at the plate with two hits, while Dylan Nyberg, Hartman and Meyer each had a knock. Josh Terrio, Johnny Egan and Hartman each drove in a run. Henderson 12, Tigers 10 Henderson came to town looking to avenge a loss to your Tigers on May 23, and that is just what it did. Henderson took an early 1-0 lead in the first, only to give up a six-spot to the Tigers in the third. Belle Plaine yielded six runs in the fourth to give the lead back to the Tigers of Henderson at 7-6. Belle Plaine gave up two more tallies in the eighth to go down by three. In the bottom of the eighth, the locals rallied to tie the score at 9-9 after eight complete. In the ninth, two hits and an error were not the way Belle Plaine wanted to start the stanza, and it resulted in a three-run uprising and a grim outlook. Henderson sent in former Tiger Trevor Latzke to get the save. Belle Plaine scored one run and managed to load the bases with two outs, but Latzke notched a strikeout to get the

final out on this poorly-played game by both sides. There were seven combined fielding errors. Josh Terrio started on the mound and didn’t have his usual stuff while struggling with his control. Rookie Jonny Vinkemeier came on in relief of Terrio and kept Belle Plaine in the game, giving up four runs in 4.2 innings. Rookie Chase Emmers threw the ninth. Belle Plaine had 10 hits on the night to go along with 11 walks. Matt Schultz and Derek Dahlke led the way with two hits apiece, while six other Tigers tallied one hit. St. Peter 10, Tigers 1 The Tigers were set to square off against the Saints of St. Peter after the tough loss to Henderson two days before. Things started well after a hit by Tiger leadoff man Travis Latzke in the first inning. A ground ball got him to second, Latzke stole third and a Pat Schultz single plated the first – and what would turn out to be the only Tiger run. Not much else happened offensively as Belle Plaine could only muster four hits on the day, with Zach Juaire and Derek Dahlke collecting two apiece. Zac Dahlke started on the mound and went five-plus innings in the oppressive heat. He was relieved by Clayton Meyer, who just finished 11th grade. Meyer pitched two innings and Wes Sarsland, who also just passed 11th grade, was up next. We are young this year but on the bright side, had prom covered pretty well. In the end, ace pitcher Matt Lewis and last year’s Region 6C champions had their way with the Tigers. 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 10 vs. Gaylord ppd May 22 vs. Shakopee L 9-1 May 23 at Henderson W 10-4 May 29 at Chanhassen ppd 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 June 16 vs. Prior Lake June 19 at Cologne June 21 at New Ulm K June 25-28 at Hamburg/ Green Isle Tourn.

Minnesota River Paddle Event to Take Place This Saturday Paddling enthusiasts hope to see an unprecedented number of canoes and kayaks on the Minnesota River on Saturday, June 13 (National Get Outdoors Day). “The goal will be to paddle every navigable river mile of the Minnesota River,” said Alex Watson, a regional naturalist for the Department of Natural Resources Parks and Trails Division and one of the event’s organizers. “The Minnesota River
is 318 miles long, though, so we will need as many paddlers as we can get.” Participants can paddle a section of the river on their own that day or join a group of organized paddles that will take place all along the river, from the headwaters at Big Stone Lake State Park in Ortonville to its confluence with the Mississippi River at Fort Snelling State Park in St. Paul:
Belle Plaine Trapshooters Finish Fourth in Conference
BPHS’s Heitz Headed to State Meet June 20
After a solid regular season, a tough last week of competition saw the Belle Plaine High School trapshooting team slip to fourth place in its conference standings. The BPHS team was in second place entering the final week’s competition, said Jack Schnueman, the trapshooting team’s coach. But in the fifth and final week of regular season competition, Belle Plaine finished behind conference leader, Staples-Motley, Cleveland and Champlin Park. Belle Plaine finished ahead of both Champlin Park and Cleveland twice during early-season meets. But the last week’s results left the Tigers 156 points out of third and 318 points out of second place. Overall, Staples-Motley easily won the conference with 22,484 points, finishing 4,453 points ahead of Champlin Park and Cleveland. Belle Plaine enjoyed its best finish ever in the conference standings. The Tigers finished ahead of Bethlehem Academy of Faribault, St. Peter, Cannon Falls and Kasson-Manterville.

Mayer Lutheran Mya Chmielewski, a freshman catcher, led the Crusaders in hits, extra base hits, runs scored, RBI, slugging and on-base percentages.

Brandon Heitz of Belle Plaine finished among the top 100 shooters in the state to earn a berth in the state trapshooting competition June 20 at the Minneapolis Gun Club in Credit River Township.
Minnesota State High School Clay Target League competition June 11-16 in Alexandria. Belle Plaine shooters will compete June 13. Over 8,600 shooters from schools of all sizes will be at the event.
On the Final Day
Belle Plaine has one shooter, Brandon Heitz, headed to the state competition recognized by the Minnesota State High School League. It will be held June 20 at the Minneapolis Gun Club in Credit River Township just outside Prior Lake. Heitz qualified for the state competition on the final day of the regular season. He needed to finish among the top 100 shooters in the state to earn a state berth. In the final meet of the season, May 25, he hit 23 of 25 clay targets in his first round and finished his second round with a perfect score, 25 of 25, to post an average two-round score of 24. “I knew I could get there. I know what I had to do,” he said. “Everything clicked. Everything went as smooth as it could go.” The performance elevated Heitz from outside the top 100 to 91st of the state’s top 100 shooters. Last year, he missed finishing in the top 100 and earning a state meet berth by just a few points. The narrow miss could have been avoided by hitting one or two more clay targets during last spring’s reg-
ular season. The near miss motivated Heitz to make the state meet this spring. “I expected to do better, but it’s still good,” Heitz said. “I’ve been practicing a lot, working a lot this spring.” Heitz concedes he has trouble shooting in windy conditions, weather that plagued him early in the regular season. He is hoping for a windless day at the state event. “I don’t care it if rains, just no wind,” he said. Heitz invested in a new 12guage shotgun this spring, a Browning Citori. It replaced a Stoeger shotgun he bought last year. “It improved everything the way it needed to be,” he said. If the weather cooperates and he has a good day, Heitz is confident he can keep up with some of the state’s top shooters. That will require consistent 24s or better. “If I miss more than one, I know I’m completely out of it,” he said. His goal is to finish among the 10 best shooters in the state. I’d be happy with that,” he said. Heitz’s confidence is based on performance at events sanctioned by the Amateur Trapshooting Association and the Minnesota Youth Shotgun Association outside the high school team season. “I’ve done it before,” he said. “I just need to relax and do my best.”

Four Tigers Selected to All-Conference Baseball Team Belle Plaine’s representatives on the 2015 All-Minnesota River Conference baseball team are Joe Hankins, Ben Wagner, Aiden Ladd and Luke Narveson. Teammate Jon Vinkemeier received honorable mention. Wagner was also named coMost Valuable Pitcher along with Tri-City United’s Ryan Thompson. Belle Plaine’s Pat Schultz was named Coach of the Year after leading the Tigers to their second straight conference championship. Isaac Hormann of Norwood Young America was named the conference’s Most Valuable Player. Like Belle Plaine, Norwood Young America had four players selected All-Conference, followed by Watertown-Mayer and Sibley East with three apiece. Jordan, Le Sueur-Henderson and Tri-City United each had two and Mayer Lutheran one. Hankins, a senior outfielder, hit leadoff for the Tigers and led the team with a .448 batting average and a .493 on-base percentage. Among his team-leading 30 hits were five doubles, a triple and a home run. He was also very solid on the mound, going 2-2 with a 1.52 ERA and 16 strikeouts in 23 innings. He was an extremely hard worker who led by example and was a major part of the back-to-back MRC championships. He is the son of Bob and Lori Hankins. Wagner, a senior pitcher and infielder, led the Tigers on the mound and was voted MRC Co-Most Valuable Pitcher of the Year. He was 5-1 with four complete games on the mound with a 0.54 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 39 innings. He was one of the better defenders on the team and was always willing to play any spot in the infield depending on what the team needed. This is his second AllConference selection. He is the is the son of Dave and Kim Wagner. Ladd, a junior catcher, was one of the Tigers’ top hitters

Aiden Ladd for the second year in a row. He hit .333 with eight doubles, a triple, a home run and 16 RBI. He is also one of the best defensive catchers in the conference with his pitch calling, blocking, framing and ability to completely shut down the opponents’ running game with his arm. He is a baseball guy and is one of the emotional leaders on the team. This is his second AllConference selection. He is the son of Jason and Amy Ladd. Narveson, a junior center fielder, had a very good year after missing last season due to injury. He hit .357 with two doubles, a triple, eight RBI and a team-leading eight stolen bases. He did a wonderful job this year making plays that most center fielders wouldn’t even get close to. He makes good
by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School baseball team’s five-game run in the Section 2AA Tournament came to a halt as Norwood Young America doubled up the Luke Narveson Tigers 4-2 last Tuesday at Veterans Field in St. Peter. NYA went on to lose an elimination game against Albert Lea 7-5 later in evening. Albert Lea then returned to St. Peter on Thursday and lost to Glencoe-Silver Lake 5-3 in the championship round. G-SL is scheduled to play Marshall in the first round of the state Class 2A tournament in St. Cloud this Thursday. The Tigers, who won the Minnesota River Conference championship for a second year in a row with an 11-3 record, finished the season 16-8 overall. NYA 4, Tigers 2 Jon Vinkemeier Belle Plaine grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second innings but reads and gets great jumps off the Raiders came back to knot the bat, which allows him to the game at 1-1 in the fourth inning and took the lead at 4-1 All-MRC Baseball with three in the sixth inning by way of two Belle Plaine errors, (continued on page 13) two hits, a walk and a passed ball. The Tigers mustered just four hits – doubles by Luke Narveson and Wes Sarsland, and singles by Aiden Ladd and Ben Wagner. Wagner started on the mound and took the loss after allowing four runs (none earned) on six hits and one walk through six innings. Jon Vinkemeier pitched one scoreless inning. “We had several base runners on in the middle innings, including leaving the bases loaded in the fifth but couldn’t break the 1-1 tie,” said Tigers coach Pat Schultz. “It was a tough finish to an
overall good season,” Schultz continued. “We had a lot of great performances throughout the year and many different players stepped up. I want to thank our six seniors who were a huge part of the back-to-back MRC championships during their time – Ben Wagner, Joe Hankins, Dylan O’Brien, Nick Johnson, Alec Selly and Mike Szaroletta. They will be missed by this team but they have left their mark in the program that will hopefully build off what they have started.” 2015 BPHS Baseball Results Apr. 10 at M. Luth. W 8-1 Apr. 11 B.P.

Four Belle Plaine Players Land Spots on All-MRC Softball Team Katelyn Schmit, McKenzie Koepp, Kaylee Hentges and Elizabeth Johnson are Belle Plaine’s representatives on the 2015 All-Minnesota River Conference softball team. Teammate Maddie Haller received honorable mention. Kaylie Brazil of Norwood Young America was selected the conference’s Most Valuable Player and Carlie Brandt of Le Sueur-Henderson was the Most Valuable Pitcher. First-year Belle Plaine coach Luke Audette and Eric Lewis of champion LS-H were named by their peers as co-Coaches of the Year. Belle Plaine, LS-H and Jordan each had four players named to the team, followed by Watertown-Mayer with three. NYA and Tri-City United both had two selected, while Sibley East and Mayer Lutheran had one apiece. Schmit, a senior center fielder, finished her fourth varsity season with the Tigers. She was dominant on both sides of the ball this year. Defensively, she had a .947 fielding percentage, committing only one error. Offensively, she batted .431 with four triples, two doubles and a home run. She also led the team with 17 stolen bases. Koepp, a junior left fielder, completed her third year on varsity. Even though she was a very consistent fielder (.931 fielding percentage), she made the most impact at the plate, leading the team with 15 conference RBI and a .531 batting average. She finished the regular season with nine doubles and one triple. Hentges, a junior pitcher and shortstop, finished her third varsity season. She has been a dominant pitcher for the Tigers, allowing only 12 runs in 59 innings pitched. She finished conference play with a 1.29 ERA and 68 strikeouts, while only walking eight. Her record was 6-1 with three saves. Her bat helped the team a lot as she hit .403 in conference play, including five doubles and two home runs. Johnson, a sophomore third baseman, completed her third year on varsity. Her fielding has been very impressive, often taking the bunting option away
The Tigers’ Wally Schultz recorded the force out at second and threw to first during last Tuesday’s game against Norwood Young America in St. Peter.

She completed conference play with a .470 batting average, compiling six doubles, four triples and two home runs. Le Sueur-Henderson Kalie Devine, a junior shortstop, took the role of leadoff hitter this year and did very well, hitting .422, with an on-base percentage of .480 and scored 15 runs. A natural right-handed hitter, she made the successful switch to left and continues to take steps to become a better player. Carlie Brandt, a junior pitcher, led the Giants in most offensive categories, hitting .489 with 15 RBI, 16 runs scored and 15 stolen bases. She is also very good in the circle, boasting an ERA of 0.231 and an opposing batting average of just 0.099. She had a 13-1 conference record with seven shut-

This was the scene at the finish line Saturday as Belle Plaine junior Jenna Gatz won her second state title in a row in the 400-meter dash. Shortly afterwards, Gatz, who was worn out, was briefly attended to by one of the track officials. She soon bounced back to take second in the 200 dash.

dash with a time of 25.98. Jada Lewis of Minneapolis Edison was first in 25.39. It was Lewis and her sister, Jia, who provided Edison with most of its points in the meet as Jia was first in the 100 dash and Jada second. But they weren’t enough to overcome Belle Plaine’s depth. On Friday, Gatz placed sixth in the long jump. It was also Friday that the Tigers’ 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams qualified for Saturday’s finals. The 4x400 group of Schultz, Meuleners, Leger and Gatz placed seventh on Saturday, while the 4x100 team of Shannon Egan, Anna Donkhong, Selin Dikmen and Ally Fink was ninth. Dikmen also picked up team points in the 100 hurdles with an eighthplace finish in the finals. “What a weekend,” said Belle Plaine girls’ coach Rich Foust. “Friday went real well as we qualified for finals in each of the seven events we had athletes competing in. With only three of the 18 total events with finals on Friday, we had four team points on Jenna Gatz’s sixth place in the long jump. After Friday, we were out of the top 15. However, we knew that many more points were available on Saturday due to Friday’s great performances, and we also knew that the most Minneapolis Edison (last year’s winner) could get was 49 points. We thought 50 points was doable for us if we had another great day. “Saturday started out exceptional for us in the first two events,” Foust continued, referring to the 4x800 relay squad’s win and Egan moving up from the seventh seed to take second in the pole vault. “Every athlete continued to contribute to the team point total, and when Jenna Gatz scored a second place in the 200-meter dash (the second to last event), we hit 53 team points and we knew we had it. “I am very proud of how our team performed over the two-day championship meet,” Foust continued. “They came mentally ready and performed above expectations – and everyone contributed to the team finish. The girls represented the community of Belle Plaine very well.” Other notables: – Gatz reset her own school 400-meter record in the prelims and finals. – Egan reset her own school pole vault record. – The 4x800 and 4x400 relays (in preliminaries) ran the second-fastest times in school history, while Meuleners did the
