State Champ Belle Plaine High School sophomore Jenna Gatz stood on coveted block 1 shortly after winning the state Class 1A championship in the 400-meter dash Saturday at Hamline University in St. Paul. Gatz placed in two other events at state in helping lead the Belle Plaine girls’ team Blayne Prochaska and MaryKay Nasby and the rest of the class were all smiles as they exited to a second-place finish in the team standings (see story on page 15). the gym during Sunday’s recessional.

He’s not really sure he knows exactly how much money he’s donated to groups in Belle Plaine. And even if he did, Matt Saxe probably wouldn’t want to say for certain.

Public acclaim is not the reason he donates to youth sports groups, the River Fishin’ Contest or Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic Church. Saxe, the owner of Matt Saxe ChevroletBuick, believes in doing what he can to help make Belle Plaine a better place to call home for thousands of children and adults alike.

Saxe was honored with the annual award night last Wednesday (June 4) in Belle Plaine Senior High School’s South Gymnasium. He is the second consecutive car guy to be selected to receive the honor – joining last year’s Friend of Education honoree, Roger Moody, the former owner of Friendly Chevrolet.

“This year’s recipient of the Friend of Education Award has made a significant impact upon our schools and community in the just over four years that he has lived and worked in Belle Plaine,” said Superintendent Kelly Smith in presenting the award. “This year’s recipient believes strongly that it is a moral imperative for a business to support the communities in which they reside. He has modeled that belief through the years as he has supported many area charities, organizations and events.”

Saxe doesn’t see the money he has donated as just another tax write-off. Instead, he offers funds intended to help the community and its people enjoy better lives. It’s his way of giving back and saying thanks for supporting his business.

A Wet and Wild Season’s Opener at Belle Plaine Municipal Pool

The Belle Plaine Municipal Pool drew a nice crowd to its pre-opening party Thursday evening (June 5) and opening day Friday before Saturday’s showers dampened the fun. Thursday evening’s preopening party offered residents the chance to meet the pool’s staff, enjoy some wet and slippery fun and have a cold treat. (Left) Lifeguard Stephen LaJeunesse demonstrated the proper use of the slip-and-slide. (Below) Belle Plaine’s Austin Reinwand took aim at Emmaleah Cecka with a squirt wand in the toddler pool while their moms, Lindsay Reinwand and Aimee Cecka, enjoyed the shade Friday afternoon. The pool is open daily, 1-5 p.m. and 6 p.m. to dusk.

Earth and Weather While second- and third-grade students and their teacher Krista Kulas were tending to their flower and vegetable garden at Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic School Thursday, Joe Vandermark (left, below) and OLP Director of Religious Education Pat Schroers were busy installing a Davis Wireless Vantage Pro2 Plus weather station next to the garden. Vandermark, a member of both the Belle Plaine Public Schools and OLP boards of education, donated the $1,400 device. The wireless and solar-powered weather station collects data every 2.5 seconds via a rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, anemometer (wind speed), wind vane (direction), and UV and solar radiation sensors. Vandermark said the data retrieved from the weather station will provide the students with weather data that can be applied in a wide variety of curriculum.

Men Taking ‘Inspired’ Approach to Growing Strawberries in B.P.

Farmers Market Corner Glorious weather is bringing everyone to the Belle Plaine Farmers Market. Stop down and see what’s new this week.

Asparagus seems to still be in abundance as well as rhubarb, radishes and yummy lettuce.

Freshen up your dinner table with the season’s best offerings.

Fresh beats grocery store goods in taste and nutrition.

Blight happens when the dirt splashes back onto the plants during rainstorms and watering.

To prevent this many people use grass clippings. They’re easy to come by and free, too. Grass clippings also help with weed control, so it’s a win, win.

If you haven’t planted your garden there’s still time. Barb will have beautiful starter plants for one more week. She also has some great herbs to add flavor to your meals. She has some wonderful ideas for how to use different herbs and loves to share.

The Belle Plaine Farmers Market is held every Wednesday from 3:30-6:30 p.m. May through Oct. 15 at Court Square Park. Vendors are welcome!

You can like us on Facebook for seasonal information and recipes. For more information, contact Lisa Fahey at 952-8735665 or Diane Skelley, 952873-2467.

The day camp is for children ages 5-12. The cost is $5 per child, with scholarships available if there is a hardship.

and the skipper beached it rather than have it sink. We picked up several of its dead and brought them to the beach. The Jerrys (Germans) used to bomb and strafe the beach. The Allies stopped that by making stockades on the beach with the German prisoners.

One day I lowered the ramp to let the troops off and the Army officer stood there while the troops jumped off. A speed boat came up and a loud voice said, “Mister, lead your men.� It was “Old Blood and Guts� Patton.

The Jerrys had a psychological effect on us. Every night at 11 they bombed the ships lying offshore. Beforehand, they dropped tinfoil to foul up our radar. Each day sky trains would go overhead with C-47s towing gliders.

The Allies sent stripped merchant ships and they were tied up, bow to stern, and sunk for a seawall. The bilge plugs were pulled, and it sure was a sight to see them sink. We took their skeleton crews ashore.

After that I made 38 or 39 trips across the English Channel. Sometimes to La Havre, sometimes up the Seine River.

The Jerrys used to float down floating mines. The LSTs were the workhorse of the Navy. One time off Cherbourg we took 470 Jerrys prisoners. One time on the beach three of us went to the wrong ship and we ended up in England.�

A thousand persons attended the picnic scheduled by the Belle Plaine creamery at the Mrs. Holste farm two miles east of town. Belle Plaine closed shop to join with the farmers in this picnic. There was a ball game, band music and contests galore.

The Belle Plaine ball team lost to New Prague 6-7 but held on to second place in the league, Mrs. Henry Haas, nee Schultz, died at the age of 27 and the funeral was held from the German Settlement Church.

Hugh Doherty of St. Thomas stopped his car when he saw an overturned auto in the ditch near the Le Sueur road, and at first thought it an abandoned wreck, until he heard the cry of children. When the car was lifted, five children of the William Martin family of Tyrone Township were under it, two with fractured arms. Doherty took all the children to the Le Sueur doctor.

120 Years Ago (1894)

Mrs. William White, pioneer resident of the Keystone settlement, died at her home in Eden Prairie.

A neighboring home talent group came here to put on their play, “Jerry the Tramp, or the Noble Outcast.”

Following the death of H.H. Sisterman, there were 18 applicants for the job as express company agent. The position went to Station Agent C.C. Hyde.

The wedding event of the season was the marriage of Nellie Bailey and John McDevitt.

About all of Belle Plaine and St. John’s attended.

The band and others scheduled a day’s picnic at Waconia. A party of six going in Pfenning’s hack didn’t get there. The hack broke down at the Belle Plaine bridge and all occupants landed in a heap.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, On Flag Day, June 14, we commemorate the adoption of the American flag. For more than 200 years, Old Glory has served as a symbol of our nation’s freedom and as a source of pride for our citizens. In patriotic parades and musical salutes, we support our local military units and recognize the significance of the stars and stripes.

Flag Day is also a time to honor our nation’s veterans who have served to protect the flag and the ideals it represents.

With each ceremonial fold of the flag, we recognize the principles on which our country was founded, such as liberty, unity, justice and sacrifice.

On Flag Day, I stand with more than 800,000 American Legion Auxiliary members across the nation as we honor our servicemen and women and reflect on their commitment to our country.

Whether you are a veteran, the loved one of a servicemember or a patriotic volunteer, there are many ways to honor local heroes, such as visiting veterans homes, assisting with ceremonies of recognition, or collecting personal memories and photos from veterans to create keepsake journals.

As you wave the flag on June 14, remember that showing your gratitude for veterans does not have to be limited to Flag Day, Memorial Day or Veterans Day. Throughout the year, join your community and the American Legion Auxiliary to thank veterans who have served and protected our nation.

Thank you to all who have served Old Glory. Happy Flag Day! American Legion Auxiliary members have dedicated themselves for nearly a century to meeting the needs of our nation’s veterans, military and their families both here and abroad. They volunteer millions of hours yearly, with a value of nearly $2 billion. As part of the world’s largest women’s patriotic service organization,

Auxiliary volunteers across the country also step up to honor veterans and military through annual scholarships and with ALA Girls State programs, teaching high school juniors to be leaders grounded in patriotism and Americanism. To learn more about the Auxiliary’s mission or to volunteer, donate or join, visit www.ALAforVeterans.org.

Chelsea Barta President of the American Legion Auxiliary Unit #144

Dear Editor, I am writing this letter to shed some light on the waste and recycle pick up here in Belle Plaine.

It has come to my attention that there is a tremendous variation in the fee that is charged for basically the same service.

In my neighborhood the fees range from the low $50’s to a high of $95 for a 3-month service. I asked many people what they were paying for waste collection service in our town, and it ranged from a low of $45 to a high of $128 per 3-months service. In the last Belle Plaine Herald there was an article where the city of Green isle is negotiating for a 1 company service for their waste pickup.

The cost is listed at $36.27 for 3-months service. It is my opinion that our city fathers should try and get busy to also put out bids for a 1 company service.

The city of Shakopee, with a much bigger population than Belle Plaine has a 1 company service.

I realize that not every company, or community can do this, but it certainly is worth a try. I will be on the agenda at the next Council meeting to try and get something started. With 3 different company’s doing business here, it means much wear and tear on our streets.

Sincerely, Leo “Sonny” Albrecht

Canterbury Park Still Eyeing Growth, Breaks Ground on Events Center While the idea is still in the preliminary stages, several furlongs from reality, Canterbury Park is once again eyeing plans for redevelopment.

The track is once again contemplating redevelopment of land it owns into retail facilities along with some office and restaurant and possibly even a theater. The kind of redevelopment the track is considering would require a relocation of the track’s stable area, the Shakopee Valley News recently reported.

The plan Randy Sampson, Canterbury Park’s president and CEO, is considering is a similar plan to the one discussed in 2008. It was thwarted when the economy hit the skids.

Regardless of whether Sampson formally presents the plans

to the City of Shakopee, Canterbury Park is improving its existing facilities. Track officials recently conducted a groundbreaking on a $3 million expo and events center. The 30,500square-foot building will be built in the northwest corner of the track area.

The new building will replace a large white tent the track has used the past 13 years, a span well beyond the tent’s life expectancy. It will allow Canterbury to host special events throughout the year.

The same architect who designed the track back in the 1980s, Steve Urban of Out of the Box Architecture, is designing the new building. Local companies, Fabcon and Choice Electric will lead the construction effort.

Legislative Final from Kevin Dahle The 2014 Legislative Session wrapped up a successful biennium focusing on common sense reforms and forward-thinking policies for the state’s present and future budgets.

After a decade of accounting gimmicks and regressive public policy, we have finally righted the state’s fiscal ship and made needed social changes to move the state forward.

We started the session with a budget surplus of $1.2 billion – a direct result of a fair and structurally balanced budget passed in 2013. In the months that followed, we created a package of bills that focused on tax relief for businesses, homeowners and farmers, enhancing education opportunities from pre-K to college and providing much needed support for home and community-based healthcare providers.

This year’s budget also included additional dollars to the budget reserve to ensure Minnesota’s long term fiscal stability.

Minnesota businesses will benefit from the elimination of all three business-to-business sales taxes. These include a tax on electronic and commercial equipment repair and maintenance, telecommunications equipment, and warehousing and storage services.

The Legislature also provided more than $500 million in direct tax relief for nearly 2 million Minnesotans, including tax re-

lief for businesses, worki n g families, college s t u dents, renters and farmers. In addition, the minimum wage was increased from $6.15 – one of the lowest wages in the nation – to $9.50 by the year 2016.

Nearly $54 million will be infused into the state’s E-12 education system. The biggest investment includes a $23.4 million increase to the Basic Funding Formula and over $11 million in early childhood education programs. The additional dollars will be used to fund a number of programs designed to narrow the education achievement gap and to ensure every child is ready to enter kindergarten.

We also passed several policy changes to improve our education system. The Safe and Supportive Schools Act will help to create a comprehensive approach to the problem of bullying in Minnesota’s schools by offering schools, teachers, parents and students the tools and resources they need to create a safe and secure school atmosphere.

Meet Randy.

He doesn’t just sell windows, doors, ”‘‘ƤÂ?‰ǥ ƒÂ?† ‡˜‡”›–Š‹Â?‰ ›‘— …‘—Ž† ’‘••‹„Ž› Â?‡‡† ˆ‘” ›‘—” Š‘Â?‡ ’”‘Œ‡…–•ǤǤǤ

He’s a great listener and will guide you every step of the way.

Beyond Safe and Supportive Schools, we also passed needed reforms to the Minnesota Teacher Licensure Exam (MTLE), improved our Adult Standard Diploma requirements and created a reward program for mastering a second language. We also approved an exciting new initiative for English language learners; their native languages and culture will be an asset to their continuing education, not as a hindrance. The state also provided $10 million for implementing the new teacher evaluation and development program.

An early focus of the session surrounded the propane shortage and subsequent price hike for Minnesota home and business owners. With our first bill of 2014, we successfully passed a finance package that provided $20 million to the Low Income Heating Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) to ensure that the program could continue to help Minnesotans through a tough winter.

We also successfully passed legislation, which I authored, to ensure protections for propane consumers. The bill includes language for customer budget repayment plans and a requirement to clearly post prices and regulations on fees.

Finally, the biggest focus of the year was on the Capital Investment Bill. The bonding package passed by the Legislature this session invests $1.17 billion in General Obligation Bonds and one-time cash. The legislation is estimated to create more than 28,000 jobs across the state and will start to address our weather-torn roads, economic development and asset preservation throughout Minnesota.

After Approving iPad Plan, School Board OKs Financing

Spending figures associated with the Belle Plaine School Board’s decision to provide each student with iPads and purchase Chromebooks came into sharper focus with key decisions at a recent school board meeting.

The board OK’d a four-year $1.044 million financing plan that will pay for the iPads and supporting infrastructure. It also accepted MP Next Level’s $18,678 bid to create a fiber optics link between the Scott County fiber line running along Highway 169 and Oak Crest Elementary.

Superintendent Kelly Smith said the actual splicing into the line “is a spendy proposition� costing an additional $18,287.

That link will be connected to the other district buildings via a fiber optics cable.

The board also OK’d spending $20,567 to connect that fiber optics line from Oak Crest to the junior-senior high school building at the May 27 meeting.

The connection will replace a microwave signal between the junior-senior high school and Oak Crest mounted atop a light tower at Tiger Park.

The board unanimously approved a four-year lease to fund the overall plan with American Capital. The lease, spread over four years, will create an annual payment of $266,417.74.

That figures includes the 2.47 percent interest rate resulting in total finance charges for the four years at $25,670.96.

The district will make the payment in September. Smith said the timing works well since the school district will have received state aid payments Aug. 15 and Sept. 1. “We felt this was a good time to make the payment,� he said.

The district has yet to decide exactly when it will roll out the new plan in the 2014-15 school year. It will provide all students with an iPad for individual use.

Earlier this spring, the district also purchased Chromebooks for typing and researching larger projects.

The school board also approved expanding Curriculum Assessment Coordinator Carol Lagergren’s position from halftime to full-time. The extra time will allow her to use the investment in technology to improve student learning.

Belle Plaine and Jordan were sharing Lagergren’s time for curriculum assessment on a 50-50 basis. Jordan is making its own move to a 1-to-1-tech-

nology plan and expected to hire its own person. The move facilitated Belle Plaine’s ability to bring Lagergren back on a full-time basis. She will initially assist her replacement in Jordan, Smith said.

The additional half-time position will cost the school district another $50,000 in salary and benefits. Lagergren is on an administrative-level 215-day contract from July 1 to June 30 with the Belle Plaine School District, Smith told the board.

Roof Repair

The board unanimously approved spending $61,000 to replace the roof over the south gym in the senior high and two areas over the common area in the front of the school.

Nieman Roofing of New Prague offered the low bid of the three the district received.

The company will install a rubber membrane roof covered by small rock to hold it in place.

Nieman Roofing will warranty the new roof for 15 years, Smith told the board.

The other two quotes came from firms from Mankato and New Ulm. The district had expected the new roof over the south gym would cost as much $65,000. When the bid came in lower than expected, it decided to add two problem areas over the common area.

The roof over the south gym is the original roof built in 1993.

In other action at the May 27 meeting, the Belle Plaine School Board: • Paid bills totaling $1,261,606.98. • Accepted the resignation of Randy Carlson, junior-senior high math teacher, effective at

the conclusion of the 2013-14 school year. • Accepted the resignation of Mary Ann Koonst, para-professional, effective at the conclusion of the 2013-14 school year. • Approved the hire of Tina Jeurissen, junior-senior high school special education teacher, at $56,349. • Approved the hire of Jessica Emerson, alternative delivery of specialized instructional services, at $56,475. • Approved the hire of Kale Seifert, junior-senior school mathematics teacher, at $33,754. • Approved the hire of Karen Eliason, Begindergarten paraprofessional beginning the 2014-15 school year at $14.85 per hour for 7½ hours per day. • Approved the hire of Angela Ritter, media technology paraprofessional at $12.90 per hour for 8 hours per day. • Approved the hire of Jennifer Williams, early childhood special education para-professional at $12.28 per hour for 6½ hours per day. • Approved the hire of Kelly Petrasek, early childhood special education teacher at $44,420. • Approved the hire of Danielle Tesmer, sixth-grade teacher for the 2014-15 school year. • Approved Taher Food Service as the district’s food service manager. Taher was the lone applicant for the position. • Reappointed Eide Bailly as the district’s auditor for the 2014-16 fiscal years. Of three bidders, the company submitted the lowest hourly rate -- $94 per hour based on a 200-hour audit with $1 per hour increases in the second and third years of the contract.

Scott SWCD Seeks Nominees If you know someone in Scott County who goes above and beyond for conservation, we want to hear about them. In fact, the Scott Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) in Jordan wants you to nominate that individual, family, school or business for the 2014 Conservation Leaders Program. Every year, the Scott SWCD recognizes County agencies and residents for their roles in improving our natural resources.

This summer, Scott SWCD is seeking Conservation Leaders in four categories: ag, businesses, government and urban.

If chosen, the four winners will receive a personalized Conservation Leaders sign for their property. And from these top four honorees, an overall winner will receive a keepsake plaque along with outdoor signage for the identified property or business.

The deadline for nominations is Monday, June 16.

Winners will be chosen based on their conservation efforts, community involvement and their approach to natural resource protection and enhancement in Scott County.

“We want to recognize residents and businesses in Scott

County who make such a meaningful difference in the care of our environment,” explained Scott SWCD Manager Troy Kuphal. “We also want to call special attention to the conservation efforts they practice, which result in cleaner water, healthier soil and improved wildlife habitat in the county for all of us.”

Whether your neighbor or a local merchant catches rain water to nourish their flowers, installed a raingarden, plants corn plots for deer and turkeys, established a windbreak of native trees and shrubs, operates an environment-friendly feedlot, put pervious pavers in a parking lot or repaired an eroding gully area on his or her property, we want to know about their efforts and honor them for their diligence.

The award application form is available at www.scottswcd. org. You can fill it out online and return it via the Scott SWCD website or print it out, complete it and return it to: Conservation Leaders Program, Scott SWCD, 7151 190th Street West, Suite 125, Jordan MN 55352.

For more information, call the Scott SWCD office (952) 4925425.

St. Peter School Board Eyeing Land for New High School The St. Peter School District has begun the process of buying a 60-acre parcel on which it hopes to one day build a new high school.

The school board recently approved a purchase agreement on the large parcel for $570,000 -- $9,500 per acre -- along Traverse Road in western St. Peter.

The purchase, if completed, would be considered a good deal by the board. Last July, the district bought 16 acres near the

intersection of West Traverse Road and Nicollet Avenue for $176,000 -- $11,000 per acre.

The two purchases gives the school district about 87 acres on Traverse Road. Some of it will be sold off and the rest retained for expansion, said Superintendent Jeff Olson.

The property will be home to a new high school if voters OK a $55 million referendum slated for March 2015.

Superintendent’s Update

By Dr. Kelly Smith

Congratulations to the Class of 2014! The weather was outstanding for our 2 p.m. Graduation Ceremony on Sunday at the High School as 114 graduates proudly received their diplomas from school officials. Best wishes to all graduates with your future plans!

Congratulations to our girl’s track team for their runner-up finish at the State Track Meet on Friday and Saturday. The Tigers finished with 32.75 points behind team champion Minneapolis Edison with 40. Jenna Gatz captured the 400 M Dash individual title and placed ninth in the 100 M Dash to lead all point getters for the Tigers. In the pole vault, Bridget Egan finished second with a vault of 10’6” and sister Shannon claimed ninth place.

Janessa Meuleners place sixth in the 3200 M Run and the 4 x 400 M Relay team of Amara Meyer, Alissa Schultz, Haley Leger and Jenna Gatz place sixth as well. Amara Meyer tied for eighth place in the high jump to finish out the scoring. Great season girls!

Good luck to Josiah Barringer as he competes this weekend in the MSHSL Trap Shooting State Tournament in Prior Lake.

Josiah placed in the top 100 shooters statewide (and has scored a perfect 25 of 25 this year) to qualify for this event.

As we begin summer schedules, it is easy for students to regress in their learning over the course of the summer. Recent studies have indicated that students who step away from reading or math activities for the summer may lose 3 months to 6 months of their learning over that time. Please keep your child reading and/or math activities to help maintain their level of learning. Advice for keeping children actively engaged in learning in the summer is available from many sources including the following: - Scott County Library is offering their summer reading program called Bookawocky once again. Visit the Belle Plaine Library, go to the Scott County Library site or check out the website bookawocky.org for more information.

- U.S. Department of Education, ed.gov, offers advice and ideas, also follow it @usedgov on Twitter and check the department’s Facebook page.

- The Minnesota Department of Education offers advice and opportunities to register for summer reading and math programs at education.state.mn.us; click on Summer Learning Opportunities under the Just for Parents tab.

- kids.gov, offering arts and crafts projects to engage kids’ minds - aaamath.com, math activities categorized by grade level and type of activity - ixlmath.com, math and language arts lessons by grade, with information about how activities fit into each state’s academic standards - Scholastic.com, offers reading materials, games and blogs - Hoodamath.com, math games from kindergarten through high school - Makinglearningfun.com, for early childhood learning - Spellingcity.com, activities and games to build vocabulary and spelling skills.

- Nga.gov/kids – the National Gallery of Art’s interactive kids’ site.

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!

Giving Back to B.P., Area Made Matt Saxe ‘Friend of Education’ (continued from page 1) it’s the right thing to do.”

His contributions touch most every facet of Belle Plaine life – from public and religiously affiliated schools (Lutheran and Catholic alike), youth sports and those who need a little assistance with life’s most basic needs.

Saxe realized the importance and importance of giving back to his community when he was a college student. He grew up in Dushore, Penn., a small mountainous town of just over 600 residents who proudly note their town having the only traffic light in Sullivan County.

His parents ran a dairy farm and ag. supply store for a number of years of which my brother has now continued on with the supply business. His sister runs the weekly newspaper, the Sullivan Review.

“I’m a small-town guy and I believe the quality of life in a small town is directly effected by whether or not businesses support the town,” Saxe said after receiving the award.

“My years growing up in Dushore with many of my family members being local business owners and many others being involved in various community organizations taught me the importance of giving back and doing your part in the community.

I try to do my part.”

At a time when car dealerships are starting to enjoy the fruits of a modest economic recovery, businesses in general are frequently – some say too frequently – the targets of worthy groups raising funds. Saxe doesn’t wants to eschew the practice of choosing one group over another.

“We’ve really taken the posi-

tion that if at all possible, we’re going to help everyone,” he said. Saxe hopes other businesses will do what they can as they are able. “The reality is we have a lot of good causes here in Belle Plaine.”

‘Just Plain Nuts’

Saxe said he’s heard from peers in the auto sales business who say he’s “just plain nuts” for all he donates. He believes the number of worthy groups helping the community makes it worthwhile.

Matt Saxe Chevrolet-Buick has also donated to the groups that improve the community’s quality of life through recreation. He helps sponsor the half-marathon and Ney Nature Center. Saxe has contributed to Belle Plaine and area communities’ fire departments and fire relief associations.

He likes to make the process easy. He wants to help organizations that put the donation to work quickly and directly into the community, without having to navigate “gobs of red tape.”

He donates cars annually to Dollars for Scholars raffle.

Just as Belle Plaine residents enjoy the wider area, Saxe’s benevolence extends outside the corporate city limits. He donates a scholarship to Le SueurHenderson students, Tri-County Ducks Unlimited, Le Sueur Co 4-H Ribbon Auction, Misfit Acres-Forever Home for Animals, Pheasants Forever, Families and Individuals Sharing Hope and Fish Lake Sportsmen Club to name a few of the groups he’s assisted.

Saxe and his wife, Melissa, have five children – Clayton, 15; Ella, 6; Gus, 4; Addy, 3; and Ian, 1.

Belle Plaine Wins Two More; Tiger Classic This Weekend

by Brett Kruschke and Matt Schultz and Mike Schultz Don’t look now but Team Tigertown has won four of their last five games after taking a pair over the weekend.

Zac Dahlke was all smiles after no-hitting the Randolph Railcats over seven innings Friday night and the Tigers bested Gaylord 6-4 on Sunday. Belle Plaine’s season record is 5-7 overall, including 3-0 in RVL play.

The Tiger Train hosted the Social Media Storm that is the Chaska Cubs last night (Tuesday); check bptigertown.com or the Twitter machine for the result and details. That game was also the first for the new PA system in the press box – yet another improvement as the state tournament comes into view.

This weekend is the Tigertown Classic, when Huber and the Renner Monarchs butterfly into town for one of the most anticipated games of the year: the 8:30 p.m. second game on Friday. Renner’s Juan “The Large Human” Thomas, who belted 291 minor league home runs and is still going strong at age 42, is currently a question mark to play. Check Twitter for the news.

Starting the evening off at 6:30 p.m. will be Marshall and Young America. Friday is Little League Night, meaning that all Little Leaguers will receive a free hot dog and as always, are admitted free. Encourage your youngster to wear his league shirt and cap.

On Saturday there will be five games played at Tiger Park, with St. Louis Park and Union Hill starting things off at 10:30 a.m. followed by StewartvilleRacine and Blue Earth. The Tigers’ game on Saturday will be at 7:30 p.m. if they won on Friday night, or 5:15 p.m. if they lost.

Sunday will feature three con-

tests, including the championship game at 3:30 p.m. This tournament is one of the Tigers’ two annual key fund-raisers, so be sure to make it out and support the 16th annual Classic!

Tigers 12, Randolph 1 Randolph came to town on Friday night for a rare non-league game against a Class ‘C’ team for your hometown nine. None was happier than Tiger starting pitcher Zac Dahlke. He was the leader in innings pitched going into the game with 15, but also the ERA leader with a ratherhigh 16.20 ERA due to facing the stacked lineups of Shakopee and Victoria.

In another great piece of managing, manager Mike Schultz showed faith in the stout lefty and gave him the start and a great pre-game pep talk. Dahlke did not disappoint and in fact dominated the Railcats, throwing a no-hitter and getting his first win of the season. He was sharp from the start with 10 K’s overall and at least one in every inning.

Dahlke did give up one unearned run in the second inning, but he didn’t allow a base runner after that. The no-hitter was the first for a Tiger hurler since Brad Lawson’s no-no in 2010, also of the seven-inning variety.

Offensively, the Tigers banged out 14 hits with Dan Huber and Travis Latzke both collecting three. Huber had four RBI and every Tiger starter had at least one hit. The Tigers scored five in the second, three in the fourth and four in the fifth to put the game away early.

Tigers 6, Gaylord 4 Your local nine headed to Gaylord on Sunday looking to sweep the weekend and continue their winning ways in league action. The weather was perfect for the RVL version of Sunday Night Baseball.

The Tigers got things going early as Travis Latzke reached

Dahlke Selected to Play in All-Star Baseball Series Belle Plaine High School graduating senior and baseball standout Derek Dahlke has been selected to play for the South All-Star Team.

The 40th Annual Play Ball!

Minnesota High School Baseball All-Star Series will be held at Chaska Athletic Park on June 20-21. The tournament is presented by the Minnesota State High School Baseball Coaches Association, Play Ball! Minnesota, BiG Athletics, and Cambria.

Four 20-player teams (North, South, Metro East and Metro West) will play a round robin schedule. Some of the best graduating seniors in the state, from all three levels of high school play, will participate. Teams will practice Thursday, June 19 and attend a banquet that evening at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska. Former Minnesota Twins Manager Tom Kelly will be the guest speaker at the

via an error and Pat Schultz sent the first pitch he saw over the right field fence for a tworun dinger. That would be it for scoring until the fifth when Travis Latzke walked and came around to score. In the eighth, Belle Plaine scored three runs, with two coming off a single from Josh Terrio.

Jake Fiedler started on the mound for the Tigers and was very sharp. He struck out seven in 7 2/3 frames and gave up no runs. August Farruggia came on and wasn’t as sharp as usual.

He gave up four runs before giving way to Dan Huber, who would get out of the eighth and closed the door in the ninth for the save.

Pat Schultz led the way at the plate with three hits, including the home run and a walk. Terrio, Latzke, Matt Schultz and Zach Juaire each had a hit for seven total on the day.

Saints Healthcare Funds, the umbrella fund-raising organization for the St. Gertrude’s Foundation and the St. Francis Development Office, will hold its 17th annual “Tee One for Care” Charity Golf Tournament on Thursday, June 12 at Stonebrooke Golf Club in Shakopee.

Proceeds from this event will help to advance the future of healthcare for people in our community and will benefit St. Francis Regional Medical Center and St. Gertrude’s Health and Rehabilitation Center.

The “Tee One for Care” golf tournament, which attracts participants throughout Scott and Carver counties, includes unique contests, hole activities and opportunities to win team and individual prizes.

This year’s event will feature two great golfing experiences.

The traditional 18-hole scramble event on Stonebrooke Golf Course will begin with a shotgun start at 10 a.m. New this year, a nine-hole social scramble has been added at Waters Edge, also located at Stonebrooke. This tournament will feature a golf clinic, as well as games and contests on many of the holes.

Belle Plaine High School senior Hannah Johnson qualified for the state Class 2A golf tournament for a second year in a row by placing third overall in last Tuesday’s Section 2AA Championships at Jordan’s Ridges at Sand Creek Golf Course.

The event was originally scheduled to take place last Monday in New Prague but was pushed back a day and relocated due to wet course conditions.

Johnson returned to Ridges at Sand Creek on Tuesday for the first of two days at the state tournament, which wraps up today (Wednesday). Results can be found at www.belleplaineherald.com or the Herald’s Facebook page.

Gatz Wins State Title in 400, Team Places Second Overall Egan Takes Second in Pole Vault

pionship in BPHS history. The first came in 1983 when Jeff Siegle broke the state Class A pole vault record at the time

by Dan Ruud with a height of 14-3 1/4. The next state title for Belle Plaine As just a sophomore, Belle came in 2010 when the girls’ Plaine High School sprinter 4x400-meter relay team of CeJenna Gatz still has a lot of racleste Borchardt, Haley Fogarty, es left to go, but it will be diffiAlex Hartman and Katie Read won the Class 1A title in that event with a time of 3:58.58, which shattered the then school record by four seconds.

Gatz, who also placed at state this year in the 100 dash and 4x400 relay, helped lead Belle Plaine to 32.7 points, which was second only to Minneapolis Edison’s 40. Eighty-four Class 1A girls’ teams recorded points at the meet.

Rounding outs the top 20, which included five Minnesota River Conference teams, were Holy Family Catholic (31), Osakis (29), Plainview-ElginMillville (24.7), St. Clair (24), Redwood Valley (24), Norman County (24), Pine Island (21), Watertown-Mayer (20), Pequot Lakes (20), Le Sueur-Henderson (20), Concordia AcademyRoseville (19), Paynesville Area (18), Mayer Lutheran (18), Zumbrota-Mazeppa (18), Lac qui Parle Valley/DawsonBoyd (18), Luverne (17), TriCity United (16) and Lake City (16).

Minneapolis Edison has an eighth-grader to thank for its edging of Belle Plaine in the team standings. That is Jia Lewis, who captured both the 100 and 200 dashes at the exBelle Plaine’s Jenna Gatz (No. 8) received the baton from Haley Leger during the preliminar- pense of Le Sueur-Henderson ies of the 4x400-meter relay at Hamline University on Friday. The Tigers ended up placing speedster Kayla Stowell, who sixth in Saturday’s final, the same day Gatz captured the state championship in the 400 dash. finished second in both events just fractions of a second behind Lewis.

Gatz placed ninth in the 100 in a time of 13.0, which was a little over half a second behind Lewis’ and Stowell’s times.

Gatz’s preliminary time on Friday was 12.80.

Gatz also helped earn team cult to have a more memorable one than this past Saturday’s state Class 1A 400-meter dash final at Hamline University in St. Paul.

Gatz, who had the fastest qualifying time in Friday’s preliminaries (58.45), proved that the feat was no fluke as she

bettered that in the finals with 57.85, which was 39/100th of a second faster than secondplace Morgan Miller of Norman County (58.24). The times of the remaining nine finalists ranged from 58.34 to 59.62.

Gatz’s triumph was only the third track and field state cham-

Sisters Shannon and Bridget Egan, pictured in the fieldhouse at Hamline University on Saturday, have been BPHS’s top female pole vaulters for the past couple of years, and this year they both competed in the state meet, where Bridget placed second and Shannon ninth. Shannon was this year’s section champion and Bridget was second.

Belle Plaine’s Brady Johnson finished 11th in the high jump Saturday at Hamline University. The event had to be moved indoors due to wet conditions outside, where Johnson competed in the long jump the same afternoon and placed sixth.

BPHS pole vaulter David Schabelski placed seventh in the state meet at Hamline University on Friday.

7/11/14.

Belle Plaine’s Janessa Meuleners, a regular in recent years at both the state cross country and track and field meets, placed sixth in Friday’s 3,200-meter run.
