Belle Plaine Man, 24, Killed in Early-Morning Crash A Belle Plaine man was killed in a single-vehicle motorcycle crash just after 1 a.m. Saturday after losing control of his motorcycle and hitting a curb at the intersection of Lindsey Lane and Lacy Court. Justin Posusta, 24, was heading north on Lindsey Lane when his motorcycle struck the curb. Posusta was thrown from the motorcycle and hit a tree, suffering fatal blunt-force injuries, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office. He was not wearing a helmet, said Belle Plaine Police Chief Tom Stolee. The crash occurred in a south-

east Belle Plaine residential neighborhood. Posusta’s motorcycle continued through a chain link fence and struck a house, causing minor damage to it, Stolee said. A gas line into the house was struck, causing a small leak. Firefighters responding to the call contained the leak. Police are investigating details related to the cause of the crash. Memorial services will be held tomorrow (Thursday, June 18, 1 p.m.), at Christ Lutheran Church in Glencoe, with interment following in the Glencoe City Cemetery.

Man Charged With Felony-Level Assault A Belle Plaine man is in the county jail facing felony-level assault charges after he allegedly “sucker-punched” a man walking away from a downtown establishment early Saturday morning (June 13). Rustin Timothy Oxendale, 26, is charged with third-degree assault. A judge set a bail bond bond at $50,000. The victim, Daniel Meger of New Prague was listed in serious condition yesterday (Tuesday, June 16) morning at Hennepin County Medical Center. Police Chief Tom Stolee said the investigation revealed Meger and Oxendale had little or no interaction during the

evening before Oxendale allegedly punched Meger. According to the criminal complaint, Oxendale was involved in disagreements with several people earlier in the evening at a downtown Belle Plaine bar. Just after 2:15 a.m., as Meger and a group of people walked away from the bar after it closed, the charge states Oxendale ran up behind Meger and punched him in the side of the head. Witnesses told police Meger, 29, collapsed to the ground and was bleeding from his ear, the

Longtime Belle Plaine Veterans Club Head Dies Longtime Belle Plaine Veterans Club President Maynhardt Bahrke died Thursday. He was 82. Besides president of the Veterans Club, Bahrke was instrumental in the development and construction of Veterans Park in Belle Plaine and its flag dedication program, etc. He was also active with the American Legion Post 144, VFW Post 6202, the Belle Plaine Sports-

man’s Club, Turkey Federation, Pheasants Forever and other organizations. In 2008, Bahrke was named Scott County Outstanding Senior Volunteer of the Year. He was recognized for that honor at the county fair. Bahrke was buried with Military Honors involving the Belle Plaine Honor Guard at Oakwood Cemetery this past Sunday. His obituary appears on page 3.

tion to activities and recreation director, meaning Eischens will also assume the duties of current Activities Director Mindy (Sparby) Chevalier, who will become assistant principal. Representatives from the city and school district interviewed eight candidates and the consensus of the group was to offer the position to Eischens, who has been the activities director for New Ulm High School the past four years. City Administrator Holly Kreft reported that Eischens has “a diverse background, including grant writing and is a former council member.” The two-year contract calls for Eischens to make $65,000 the first year and $78,950 the second year. The city’s share of paying Eischens’ salary the first year will be $20,804.50, which is less than the current contract of $23,229 based on the city’s 30 percent share of community education through the joint powers agreement with the school district. In other business Monday night, the council denied Scott Schmidt’s request to construct two mini-storage units on the vacant parcels located on the southeast corner of Court Street and North Meridian Street downtown. The council’s action came after the local planning commission recommended denial. Schmidt, who owns the vacant parcels, said he thinks the storage units would be a good fit for the location and could act as a buffer zone of sorts between downtown and the nearby residential units. He said tenants of nearby apartment complexes could potentially use the units for storage. Two other individuals spoke in favor of Schmidt’s request – Mike Gau and Mike Urista – both indicating that the storage units would be a good, lowimpact fit for the site. But Mayor Mike Pingalore read a letter from Planning Commissioner Anthony Hetzel outlining the commission’s recommendation for denial. Among the reasons were: – Mini-storage facilities are not permitted uses in either the R-7 or B-3 districts. – No other city in Scott County allows mini-storage facilities in commercial or residential districts. – In applicant Schmidt’s home

Jim and Kathy Lange Grand Marshals of Parade

If a you have a hunch you’ve seen this headline before, it’s right. It’s the same one that appeared in the July 14, 2010 Belle Plaine Herald just three days prior to that year’s BarB-Q Days Parade, which was grand marshaled by Jim and Kathy Lange. They’ll be back at it for this Saturday’s German Days Parade. Lange, who is vice president of the German Days Committee, was asked by the other committee members, including President John Mahoney, if he and Kathy would lead this Saturday’s German Days Parade, and he accepted. Lange said both sets of his grandparents came from Germany during the World War I era to avoid the draft. They settled in central Minnesota and

From Brownies, to City to Squirrels The Belle Plaine Brownies Troop recently presented the city of Belle Plaine with some squirrel dens that were constructed by troop members as part of the World of Girls Award project, the purpose of which is “to make the world a better place.” The Belle Plaine Brownies chose to do a project that focussed on animals and outdoors. About a dozen squirrel dens were constructed, some of which will be placed in a few of the city’s more passive open spaces for the enjoyment of the local squirrel population. Pictured in the back are City Council Member and Park Board Liaison Cary Coop, left, and Mayor Mike Pingalore. Brownies pictured, from left, are Hannah Wermerskirchen, Ella Tracy, Annabelle Stith and Lauren Saba.

Still Getting Plenty of Attention One Year Later Rep. Bob Vogel, R-Elko-New Market, recently surveyed flood damage caused by last year’s record rains in Blakeley and Belle Plaine townships with Blakeley farmer Dale Meierbachtol, left, and Scott County Soil and Water Conservation District Manager Troy Kuphal, right. The discussion centered on determining what responses are appropriate at the state level to assist in short-term recovery efforts as well as long-term mitigation measures. “I’m hoping that additional funding will follow in the future for the longer-term strategic fixes,” Vogel said. “Water management issues are very important because they affect all of us. Over the years I’ve been very involved because I’ve come to learn how the forces of Mother Nature far transcend most of the remedies we invent to try to control things. This field trip was very helpful in learning more about what needs to be done to help people in our area.”

German Days Car Roll-In Offers Up-Close Look at Classics

Roll-In Set for Friday During Cook-out

There are some people who fondly remember the classic cars of the 1950s, ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. Kevin McCormick is one of them. His restored ‘70 Plymouth ‘Cuda will be one of many on display Friday (June 19) at the German Days Car Roll-in on East Main Street. Owners who bring their cars – all makes and model are welcome – should park them along East Main near the R/T Garage or across the street in the overflow parking lot. Information on the rollin is available from R/T Garage by e-mail – thertgarage.inc@ gmail.com – or by phone, 952356-4969. The roll-in will take place during the German Days Downtown Cookout, from 5 to 8 p.m. or until food is gone. The car roll-in is intended to bring more people downtown to enjoy the cookout and the opening of Belle Plaine’s German Days community celebration Friday and Saturday, June 19-20. There will be plenty of good food, bounce houses and

music, said Troy Martinson. He and his wife, Laura, own The R/T Gargage. “We’re hoping for good weather. It’d be great to have a lot of people downtown,” he said. “We’re hopping there will be a lot of cars for people to see.” McCormick’s 1970 black Mopar muscle car will be one of the cars on display. He’s owned it for six months and has had plenty of work done on it in Belle Plaine. It’s almost done. By the time all the work is complete, McCormick, a Chaska, resident, estimates its value will be around $150,000. McCormick grew up in north

Minneapolis. Like many of his friends and family he drove General Motors vehicles. Several years ago, he acquired his first muscle car, a ‘74 Plymouth. He was having restoration done on it here in Belle Plaine when one day, a man from North Dakota called The R/T Garage inquiring about a vehicle. The man wasn’t calling about the car highlighted on the business’s Web site, but rather a Red ‘Cuda in the background of a photo on the site. McCormick owned the car.

Roll-In (continued from page 2)

The man asked several questions about features of the car. When he was growing up in North Dakota, the man owned a 1974 ‘Cuda. But his father felt it as just a vehicle for trouble and he wanted his son to be focusing on preparing for college. After one speeding ticket too many, the father made his son sell the car. After searching for 15 years, he found his car in Belle Plaine.

McCormick hadn’t planned to sell the car. But upon verifying the man’s story and realizing how important the car was to him, McCormick, a line foreman working on the CapX transmission line project, decided to sell it. “It had nothing to do with money. It was the right thing to do,” he said of his decision to sell the vehicle. McCormick believes cars are,

for some people, an extension of a person. Selling the ‘74 ‘Cuda helped him finance the purchase the 1970 ‘Cuda and have it renovated. He takes the car to shows and enjoys sharing his passion for vehicles with anyone who wants to talk cars. A day put driving on the highway is as good as it gets for McCormick. “It’s great to open it up,” he said. “It gets to the speed limit real fast.”

Cologne City Council Eyes Energy Savings From the Sun Cologne is hoping for sunny days to reduce the cost of operating the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure in the years to come. Last week, the city signed an agreement with SunShare Inc. that will make Cologne Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first city to use solar energy on a large scale. The agreement will have the city using electricity generated at a solar garden SunShare Inc. is building at nearby Bongards. The city will receive credits from SunShare to use toward its Xcel Energy expenses. The excess electricity will be added to the regional power grid. The city expects to save $1,900 in the first year of the project. Over 25 years, it expects savings around $1.1 million, said City Administrator Jesse Dickson. The construction of the solar garden at Bongards is one of three SunShare is planning in the Cologne area. The other two locations have yet to be determined, Dickson said. The locked-in price of $0.1175 per kilowatt (kWh) Cologne will enjoy offsets the lack of a capital investment in the project from the city. The risk on Cologneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part is if electricity costs drop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is some calculated risk,â&#x20AC;? Dickson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Xcel Energy just announced plans for a 2 percent rate increase. We

Partnership to Bring Affordable New, Rehab. Housing to Le Sueur Hoping to bring new low- to moderate-income housing and residential rehabilitation projects to Le Sueur, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic development authority recently OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d the formation of a partnership with the Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership. The Le Sueur EDA has been working on a plan to increase the housing stock in the city for months. It approved the partnership after a task force identified the need for new affordable housing in Le Sueur. Ed Tschida, the EDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, said SMHP has the expertise the city needs to help meet its housing goals, the Le Sueur News-Herald recently reported. Lisa Graphenteen, the partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief operating officer, encouraged attainable goals to start. The EDA and SMHP will incorporate objectives to work toward over the first two years. Tschida suggested 10 or 12 new low- to moderate-income houses and 15 to 20 rehabilitation projects. The EDA OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d a motion to have the partnership staff begin work on attaining state funding to assist with the housing plans.

Dahle Comments on Special Session Results by Sen. Kevin Dahle With some dramatic late-night action, the special session of the Minnesota legislature concluded Friday with the passage of all previously-vetoed legislation. With the Senate chamber under reconstruction, senators met in a conference room in a nearby building; it was the first time since 1881 that the Senate has not held session in the Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Capitol building. The special session was triggered by the veto of three budgetary bills by Gov. Dayton, under the rationale that the bills either were not satisfactory or actually moved Minnesota backwards. After rigorous negotiations, Democrats were successful in acquiring additional money for education, which will help decrease the achievement gap and give a 2 percent increase to school districts for each of the next two years. I am thrilled that we were able to increase our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for education. Along with my initiative to fix aging school buildings and make them safer for students, the funding attached to this legislation will keep valued programs running and vital staff in the classroom. The legislature also passed significant reform to the teacher licensure process this year, keeping standards high while working to acquire and keep the best teachers for Minnesota and surrounding states. Not all bills in the special session were as well-received, however. The Agriculture and Environment bill contained multiple provisions that were controversial among senators

who have worked for years to protect the environment, and the ensuing debate kept legislators working until well past midnight before coming to a conclusion. The bill did pass in the early hours of the morning. Unfortunately, divided government means that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win every battle. I voted against this bill, and I believe Minnesota will regret the decisions that were made here. The legislation now being written into law renders the â&#x20AC;&#x153;pollinator-friendlyâ&#x20AC;? label virtually meaningless, eliminates the Pollution Control Agency Citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Board and walks back decades of protections for fragile ecosystems in this state. I will be working hard with my colleagues in the coming years to fix the mistakes we made here. Minnesota deserves better. Gov. Dayton has said that he will sign all of the budget bills, as well as a small bonding bill that includes a Dahle-sponsored flood relief provision. All told, over $25 million will be allocated to help communities around the state that continue to struggle with the historic flooding of the past several years. In addition, my provision to allocate additional funding to Ignite Afterschool also made it into the final education bill. After-school programming shows great results for at-risk youth in improving grades and overall graduation rates. Local students will benefit significantly from this program. - Insurance - For Price - For Coverage - At Claim Time

Rep. Vogel Comments on State’s New Two-Year Plan The Legislature re-passed three budget-related bills during a special session Friday and early Saturday morning that Gov. Mark Dayton vetoed after the regular session adjourned in May. The House and Senate both once again provided final approval on finance bills pertaining to K-12 education, jobs/ energy and agriculture/environment. This time, the governor enacted those revamped portions of the budget, putting the final pieces in place on the state’s new two-year plan. Dayton also enacted a bill appropriating $540 million in Legacy Amendment revenue and a $180 million capital investment bill. One notable provision in the latter provides $23 million for flood prevention and disaster relief. “It is good to see a finished product in place,” said Rep. Bob Vogel, R-Elko-New Market. “This is the definition of compromise with split powers at the Capitol. I think we all walked away pleased with some things we passed and disappointed in some others that stalled along the way. The overall result is a good one. “After running a small business for 40 years, I know how dysfunctional this process can appear, but knowing there will be more than $75 billion changing hands through the state’s treasury in the next two years, it gives me sufficient reason to be methodical in the legislation that defines how it is spent.” Although there were changes from the bills the governor vetoed, in the end they were not

that much different overall. Vo g e l said that helped things m o v e a l o n g fairly well in the oneday special session. One key revision is in the K-12 package, which increases funding by $125 million over what the Legislature passed the first time. That provides schools with funding increases of 2 percent in each 2016 and 2017. Education provisions that specifically benefit the people of the District 20 area include additional funding to help school districts maintain their facilities, and reform to address teacher shortages in Greater Minnesota. The jobs/economic development bill includes unemployment assistance to workers impacted by layoffs on the Iron Range and also to farmers damaged by the statewide avian influenza outbreak. Funding also is provided to address a shortage of workforce housing in Greater Minnesota and to conduct internships and job training programs. A $10.6 million appropriation to improve broadband access in Greater Minnesota also is included in the bill. A top provision in the agriculture/environment package is $23 million to combat the avian influenza outbreak that as ravaged Minnesota’s turkey industry.

St. John Ice Cream Social June 24 St. John Lutheran Church in Belle Plaine will hold its annual Ice Cream Social on Wednesday, June 24 from 3:30-7:30 p.m. in its Gathering Hall at 148 South Chestnut Street.

The program is named after New York State Benjamin Gilman who served on the House of Representatives for 30 years and chaired the House Foreign Relations Committee. There were over 2900 applicants nationwide with 992 Scholarships awarded. Katelyn is a junior who is double majoring in Computer Science and Math and will be studying in Greece and Italy this fall. Humor Corner: Ole showed up at work with two black eyes. After being asked, Ole told his coworkers he had gone to a ballgame the night before. During an exciting play in the game a rather obese lady in front of him stood up to cheer and Ole noticed her dress stayed tucked in her “cheeks.” So Ole said, “I decided to be a yentleman and pull it out and den she slugged me in the eye.” “So how did you get the other black eye?” asked his friend. “Vell,” said Ole, “ven I saw how mad she vas, I tucked it back in.”

in New Prague. “Always the first Tuesday after the 4th.” Jim and Mary Walker have been on the go. “Jim was an altar server at St. John’s for Ronald Wacker’s funeral mass on Saturday. Then Mary and Jim went to Buffalo for one of Mary’s great-niece’s graduation party. On Sunday, they went to another of Mary’s great-niece’s graduation brunch in Ramsey and then on to the Pioneer Power show grounds to honor the nice couple, Tom and Loni Graham, who does our St. Thomas news. It was their 30th wedding anniversary and also they were celebrating their grandson, Cole Vlasak’s graduation. It was a wonderful party with great food and great music. “May they have many more.” Tom and Loni hosted a 30th Anniversary celebration Sunday on the Pioneer Power Showgrounds including a graduation reception for their grandson, Cole Vlasak. Planned it like their wedding. No invites sent, put it in a few local papers. Closed their eyes, crossed their fingers, and hoped somebody showed up. The weather was grand and the grounds looked great. The Bar in Le Sueur took care of beverages, the Novotny Trio entertained...and The Road Haus catered and served 467 meals... Would we do it again given that chance? You bet! We are appreciative of each and every guest who was able to join us and made it memorable.

Sibley East School District Drops Appeal for Court Costs

After its attorney indicated its chances of winning didn’t justify the cost of moving forward, the Sibley East School District dropped its appeal of a court decision awarding it just over $400 in court costs from Nathan Kranz. The school district spent $33,245 defending the validity of its successful Nov. 4 bond referendum in district court. Kranz, a chicken farmer from rural Gaylord who also farms land in Jessenland Township, sought to have the results of Sibley East’s $43.05 million bond referendum nullified for tardiness publishing referendum related documents. The district court sided with the school district, as did an

Kranz should pay only $422 and the school district appealed the ruling on court costs to the Minnesota Court of Appeals. “The district had little chance of winning,” said superintendent Jim Amsden, citing advice from legal counsel.

With her is her father, First Sergeant Dave Spalding, who is a former Belle Plaine City Council member (2000-2004). Rebecca enlisted in the Minnesota National Guard last Summer and is the latest in a series of many generations (since the Revolutionary War) of Spaldings in uniform.

Investor Withdrawal Delays Clancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Hotel Project in Jordan The loss of investors in the construction of a new hotel and Clancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant in Jordan has the project on the shelf. But once new investors are on board, the city says the project can easily move forward. Terry Eid, owner of Terrance Eid Construction, the company that will build the new hotel and larger restaurant, said the investors in Jordan Hotel Partners LLC withdrew from the project May 1. Eid is working with â&#x20AC;&#x153;a couple of banksâ&#x20AC;? to put a new project together. He said it might take 30 to 60 days to put all the details in place. The Jordan Independent recently reported the hotel proj-

City Administrator Tim Nikunen said the approved permits and $1.1 million tax abatement can be transferred with an approved city council resolution. Randy Kaiser, owner of Clancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, is awaiting the beginning of the construction project. He is confident the deal will be accomplished, â&#x20AC;&#x153;somehow, someway,â&#x20AC;?

Man Charged

Superintendentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Update

By Dr. Kelly Smith

As we hit the summer season, it is easy for children to push their academic learning into the background for the next several months creating the â&#x20AC;&#x153;summer slideâ&#x20AC;?. Here is some information that I recently read on a scholastic.com site. Many children, especially struggling readers, forget some of what they've learned or slip out of practice during the summer months. Try these strategies to help your reader improve his/her reading during the summer and beyond: ÂˇSix books to summer success: Research shows that reading just six books during the summer may keep a struggling reader from regressing. When choosing the six, be sure that they are just right â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not too hard and not too easy. Take advantage of our local Scott County Library. The Scott County Library has a summer reading program for kids and teens ages 0 to 18 called BookaWocky. Check out their website at www.scottlib.org for more information about signing up. Ask for help selecting books that match your child's age, interests, and abilities. Also check out book lists for recommendations. â&#x20AC;˘Read something every day: Encourage your child to take advantage of every opportunity to read. Find them throughout the day: â&#x20AC;˘Morning: The newspaper â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even if it is just the comics or today's weather. â&#x20AC;˘Daytime: Schedules, TV guides, magazines, online resources, etc. For example, if your daughter likes the food channel, help her look for a recipe on the network's Web site â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then cook it together for more reading practice. â&#x20AC;˘Evening: End the day by having your child read to you from the book he is currently reading (one of the six books, above). Have him rehearse a paragraph, page, or chapter before reading to you. Rereading will help him be more fluent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; able to read at an appropriate speed, correctly, and with nice expression. â&#x20AC;˘Keep reading aloud: Reading aloud benefits all children and teens, especially those who struggle. One benefit is that you can read books your child can't, so she will build listening comprehension skills with grade-level and above books. This will increase her knowledge and expand her experience with text, so that she will do better when she reads on her own. It's hard to keep up a reading routine in a season packed with distractions and diversions. These suggestions will fit into a busy schedule and make reading fun! Congratulations to our Belle Plaine Trap Shooting team for qualifying for the MN State High School League Clay Target Championships. The Tigers placed within the top 32 teams in the state at qualifying rounds this past weekend and now advance to the championship rounds to be held at the Minneapolis Gun Club in Prior Lake. All schools, regardless of size, compete in one class at this event. Good luck to Coach Schuneman and all qualifying team members! 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!

Scott County OKs Cell Tower, Belle Plaine Food Shelf FEMA Funding for House on Bluff Lauded as ‘Friend’ of Education

Scott County commissioners unanimously approved a conditional-use permit that will allow construction of a cellular communications tower on property along Highway 169 in St. Lawrence Township. They also approved the county’s participation for the funding and acquisition of a Blakeley Township house threatened by last year’s torrential late-spring rains and flooding. The conditional-use permit commissioners approved yesterday (June 16) will allow the construction of a 134-foot tall monopole cell phone tower on leased property at 21385 Highway 169, land owned by Sue and Brad Schultz. Verizon Wireless is looking to build a 125-foot monopole tower (plus a 9-foot tall lightning rod) along Highway 169 just outside of Belle Plaine. It says the tower will improve cell phone service in the area. Plans call for the base of the tower to be gray, made of noncorrosive steel. A fence will surround the base of the tower. The transmitting equipment will be housed in a cabinet or structure. County zoning ordinance caps a cell tower at 150 feet. Beyond 150 feet, a conditional-use permit is required for the tower to be built. The proposal arrived at the board meeting with the blessing of the town board and the county planning commission. Neighbors of the Schultz have raised concerns about the impact the tower might have on their grass airstrip to the northeast of their land. One of the conditions for building the tower is a positive review of the cell tower plans from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

of rain fell on Blakeley Township and Belle Plaine. The deluge led to a landslide threatening Nancy Ludden and Al Schendlinger’s house on the west side of County Road 60 (Blakeley Trail). The landslide led to plans to close and eventually reconstruct the roadway. An engineer completed an assessment predicting a minimum 20-percent likelihood of slope failure that would destroy the couple’s house within five years. Scott County staff helped them seek and acquire funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) hazard mitigation program. Tuesday (June 16), commissioners approved county participation in funding from FEMA to acquire the LuddenSchendlinger house. The FEMA grant is for $530,703. FEMA will pay 75 percent of it -- $398.027.25. Scott County will cover the balance and will be repaid by LuddenSchendlinger. “We didn’t notice the damage to the ravine on which our house sits until about three weeks after the (storm on June 19). Evidently, about 15 feet of

the ground simply sheared off the side of the hill, dropping some 15 feet straight down from where it had been,” Ludden said via e-mail. The land collapsed in an arc shape with the closest part just beyond the deck overlooking the whole ravine. What was the side of the ravine was about 20 feet from a bird feeder just below a deck. “That area is now no more than five feet wide, including a sinkhole nearer,” she said. “The house was deemed unsafe, and plans to engineer a build-up of the ravine was not a guarantee at all.” The couple plans to move back to Bloomington. “We’ve lived here almost 19 years, and have loved the solitude, serenity, and scenery of our house and 29 acres. We will miss many people we’ve come to know, from friends and neighbors to many local people who did jobs for us to keep our house and property beautiful,” Ludden said. The funding is for the house alone. When funding is secured, the 29 acres the couple owns could be incorporated into the regional park reserve the county is creating along the Blakeley bluffs.

There’s an old adage that says children won’t learn well in school if they are hungry. The volunteers with the Belle Plaine Food Shelf are doing all they can to make sure hunger doesn’t get in the way of a good education. The Belle Plaine Food Shelf, led by a board of directors and 75 volunteers with the support of the community, was presented the 2015 Belle Plaine School District’s Friends of Education Award at a recent awards ceremony. “This year’s recipient of the Friend of Education Award has made a significant impact upon our schools and community in just four years as an active organization in Belle Plaine,” said Belle Plaine School District Superintendent Kelly Smith. The honor is based on the food shelf’s Backpack Program. Each week, about 95 students in Belle Plaine’s public elementary and junior-senior high schools quietly receive donated food to help keep them nutritionally in good condition to learn in school. Credit for the success of the Backpack Program and the impact it has on Belle Plaine public school students goes to everyone, said Betsy Ollhoff, one of the founders of the food shelf. “The community has been unbelievable,” said Pat Ollhoff, the food shelf’s operations manager. The couple led the initiative to start the food shelf in 2011. “This is a group effort.” The Backpack Program started two years ago. During one of the many trips to Second Harvest Food Network’s warehouses, Pat Ollhoff learned of other community food shelves helping school children. In Belle Plaine, the initiative started serving elementary about 70 students at Chatfield and Oak Crest elementary schools. The district’s secondary school was added this year. The Belle Plaine Food Shelf provides the food to the schools and school district staff handles distribution of the food to the students who need it most. During the 2014-15 school year, about 70 elementary school students and 25 secondary students received food through the Backpack Program.

Pat and Betsy Ollhoff, representing the Belle Plaine Food Shelf, accepted a plaque honoring the food shelf as the belle Plaine School District’s 2015 Friend of Education honoree. “We aim to send home food that is easy for students of all ages to prepare and eat. The Belle Plaine Food Shelf has been a tremendous support and connection for our Backpack Program,” said Liann Hanson, Oak Crest Elementary School’s principal. “They have provided food, fund-raising, and resources to help make the program sustainable. The partnership of the Backpack Program and the Belle Plaine Food Shelf has been a fantastic school-community connection that provides an example of what we can do when we work together.” The program will continue through the summer. Last week, 26 school-age children were provided food, Pat Ollhoff said. The Food Shelf is a non-profit organization that is managed by a board of directors. Its officers include the Ollhoffs, Tom Bartholomew, Linda Fahey, Tim Lies and Connie Bergs. Directors are Helen Lehtinen, Connie Zurn, Mary Krant, Rose Kolden, Josh Selbrade, Tyler Stolee and Jim Lange. “Thank you for the tremendous impact you have had on the Belle Plaine community and the students of the Belle Plaine Schools,” Smith said. With the exception of 1993 and 1996-98, the Friend of Education award is presented annually to a person or community group that has positively impacted the state of education in Belle Plaine Public Schools.

Legal Notices Legal Notice Scott County proposes to reconstruct County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 16 in Shakopee between CSAH 83 and CSAH 21 from a two-lane rural roadway into a four-lane divided urban roadway with turn lanes, paved shoulders and multi-use trails. The horizontal alignment will be shifted south for a portion of the project to create a frontage road from the existing roadway and remove direct driveway access onto CSAH 16. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) has been released for public comment, providing information regarding the project’s environmental setting, the potential for environmental impacts, and proposed mitigation measures for potential environmental impacts. Copies of the EAW are available at the Shakopee Library and during office hours at the Scott County Public Works Building. This EAW is also available on-line at www. co.scott.mn.us/RoadsTransport/ Roads/Design/Pages/cp1631. aspx. The comment period will be open from June 22, 2015 through July 22, 2015, as noted in the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board's newsletter, the EQB Monitor. Publication of the EQB Monitor is scheduled for June 22, 2015. Written comments must be received before 4:30 P.M., July 22, 2015, for consideration. Comments or questions regarding the EAW should be directed to Andy Hingeveld, Senior Planner at (952) 496-8839 or mailed to: Andy Hingeveld, Scott County Physical Development, 600 Country Trail East, Jordan, MN 55352.

City of Belle Plaine

2014 Drinking Water Report - Consumer Confidence Report The Consumer Confidence Report is not being directly mailed to all customers but that a copy is available upon request by calling City Hall at 952-873-5553. The City of Belle Plaine is issuing the results of monitoring done on its drinking water for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2014. The purpose of this report is to advance consumers’ understanding of drinking water and heighten awareness of the need to protect precious water resources. Source of Water The City of Belle Plaine provides drinking water to its residents from a groundwater source: two wells ranging from 330 to 331 feet deep, that draw water from the Quaternary Buried Unconfined aquifer. The Minnesota Department of Health has made a determination as to how vulnerable our systems’ source(s) of water may be to future contamination incidents. If you wish to obtain the entire source water assessment regarding your drinking water, please call 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 (and press 5) during normal business hours. Also, you can view it on line at www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/swp/swa. Call 952-873-6742 if you have questions about the City of Belle Plaine drinking water or would like information about opportunities for public participation in decisions that may affect the quality of the water. Results of Monitoring No contaminants were detected at levels that violated federal drinking water standards. However, some contaminants were detected in trace amounts that were below legal limits. The table that follows shows the contaminants that were detected in trace amounts last year. (Some contaminants are sampled less frequently than once a year; as a result, not all contaminants were sampled for in 2014. If any of these contaminants were detected the last time they were sampled for, they are included in the table along with the date that the detection occurred.) Key to abbreviations: MCLG-Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. MCL-Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. MRDL-Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level. MRDLG-Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal. AL-Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirement which a water system must follow. 90th Percentile Level-This is the value obtained after disregarding 10 percent of the samples taken that had the highest levels. (For example, in a situation in which 10 samples were taken, the 90th percentile level is determined by disregarding the highest result, which represents 10 percent of the samples.) Note: In situations in which only 5 samples are taken, the average of the two with the highest levels is taken to determine the 90th percentile level. pCi/l-PicoCuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity). ppm-Parts per million, which can also be expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/l). ppb-Parts per billion, which can also be expressed as micrograms per liter (μg/l). N/A-Not Applicable (does not apply).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. City of Belle Plaine is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. Monitoring may have been done for additional contaminants that do not have MCLs established for them and are not required to be monitored under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Results may be available by calling 651201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during normal business hours. Compliance with National Primary Drinking Water Regulations The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 800 426 4791. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 800 426 4791.

City Council

(continued from page 1) in Henderson, mini-storage units are not permitted uses in residential or commercial districts. – City staff had also recommended denial. Council Member Scott Schneider, who is the council’s liaison on the planning commission, said he could go either way on Schmidt’s request, and did vote in favor of an ordinance amendment that would allow mini-storage as a conditional use in the B-3 (Central Business) District. Pingalore and council members Cary Coop and Gary Trost voted no. Paul Chard was absent. The votes to “deny” rezoning the property and the site plan were both 4-0. *Unanimously authorized the replacement of siding on the Red Barn Museum adjacent to the Hooper-Bowler-Hillstrom Historical House. Public Works Superintendent Al Fahey reported that the museum is in need of new siding and recommended that it be replaced with steel siding. Crosby Construction of Belle Plaine submitted the low quote for the work ($7,490). Fahey reported that the project is a budgeted item. *Unanimously approved a conditional use permit for Genesis Cooperative for the addition of two 30,000-gallon propane storage tanks at 820 East Main Street. Staff reported that the police and fire departments have no issues with the project, and that notices were sent to all property owners within 350 feet of the area and no comments

were received. *Unanimously approved a resolution to restrict parking on the proposed future Enterprise Drive extension and overpass area. Staff reported that the extension, overpass and County Road 3/Meridian Street south of Commerce Drive will be designated no parking. Because Municipal State Aid and Municipal Agreement funds will be used for a portion of the project, the city is required to beforehand designate the above area as no parking. *Unanimously approved amendments to the city ordinance pertaining to yard space encroachments, front-yard fence regulations, fire pit regulations, and conditional uses in the highway commercial and central business districts, etc. Copies of the amended ordinances are available for review at Belle Plaine City Hall. *Called for a public hearing to be held Aug. 17 regarding the city’s wellhead protection plan. In January, the council authorized the city engineering firm of Bolton and Menk to complete phase two of the city’s wellhead protection plan at a cost not to exceed $28,700. Last August, the council authorized completion of phase one of the plan, the purpose of which is to provide the statemandated processes and procedures to help protect the city’s drinking water. The next regular meeting of the Belle Plaine City Council is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. July 6 in the City Hall building at 218 North Meridian Street downtown. Belle Plaine City Hall will be closed Friday, July 3 in observance of Independence Day.

Known more for his hitting than his pitching, Huber yielded five runs in four-plus frames. Belle Plaine had a 6-4 advantage heading into the sixth inning but gave up a four-spot in the top of the frame. The Tigers scored one in the sixth, sent the minimum to the dish in the seventh, with the game ending on a double play. Rennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cole Jenkins didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow a hit in three innings of relief and picked up the win.

Belle Plaine Trapshooters Headed to State Team Event

The Belle Plaine High School Trapshooting team made the most of one last opportunity to qualify for the state meet last Saturday in Alexandria. The team finished third in a 29-team statewide Class 3A competition at Alexandria, a performance good enough to earn a berth in the state competition Saturday (June 20) at the Minneapolis Gun Club in Credit River Township, just outside Prior Lake. The performance Saturday was an improvement over the regular season where Belle Plaine finished fourth in their conference. The top five shooters and two alternates will compete as a team Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m real proud of the kids. They did a great job,â&#x20AC;? said Jack

Schuneman, the BPHS teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach. In the state-qualifying competition Saturday (June 13), Belle Plaine finished with a score of 471. They edged out Coon Rapids for the final state berth by one point in a tiebreaker. The time Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shooters compete Saturday will be announced today (June 17), Schuneman said. Jordan topped the Class 3A team competition with 475 and East Grand Forks was second with 474. Individually, Josiah Barrringer, who went to state as an individual last year, finished third overall hitting 97 of 100 targets. He edged teammate Brandon Heitz, who also finished with a 97, by one target in

game, with Pat Schultz and Jesse Oelfke leading the way with two apiece. Matt Schultz and Joe Hankins accounted for the other two. Belle Plaine drew eight walks in the contest. Hayfield 9, Tigers 4 After losing a close game to South Dakotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest, the Renner Monarchs, the Tigers were set to face Union Hill in the consolation bracket Saturday. For non-baseball reasons, however, the Bulldogs withdrew from the tournament. After a few text messages, the Hayfield Heat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; already set for a winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bracket game against Renner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; agreed to play the Tigers in a non-tournament game. Zac Dahlke started on the mound for the young Tigers and has thrown well all season, but he has seen better weekends and recorded just one out while yielding five runs. Johnny (BDubs lovinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) Vinkemeier relieved Dahlke for the second day in a row and threw a solid 3.1 innings of relief, giving up two runs. Things got exciting again in the top of the fourth inning when the Tigers scored a run and put men on second and third. Hayfield countered the Tigers sudden offensive surge with a reliever whose fastball topped out at a blistering 54 mph, which was enough heat to overpower the Tigers for the rest of the game. Belle Plaine had eight hits on the day, and leading the charge

Town Team Baseball

Renner Shaves Tigers, Goes on to Win Classic

by Brett Kruschke, Mike and Matt Schultz, Travis Latzke In 17 years the Tigers have never won the Tigertown Classic, but at least now, a former Tiger has. Belle Plaine native Tim Huber, who played 16 years for the local townballers, helped the Renner Monarchs hoist the hardware late Sunday afternoon. In the Wild West of amateur baseball, the Monarchs have done a lot of trophy hoisting, with 17 South Dakota state titles to their credit – including nine since 2001. Renner beat the Blue Earth Pirates 5-2 for the championship. It wasn’t such a hot weekend

for the Tigers. Despite holding their own against worthy opponents in a pair of games, Belle Plaine went 0-3 to drop to 2-10 on the season. As the saying goes, the struggle is real. Last night, the Tigers hosted the Prior Lake Jays. The Tiger Open golf tournament fund-raiser is this Saturday at CreeksBend Golf Course in New Prague, and we would still love for you to join us! If interested, call Shane Hofmann at 952-4842319 today. On Sunday, the Tigers delve back into River Valley League play when they travel to New

College Coach on One Side, High School Coach on the Other Pictured prior to the start of Friday night’s Belle Plaine vs. Renner, S.D., Tigertown Classic game at Tiger Park are, from left, Renner player Tim Huber, and Belle Plaine players Derek Dahlke and Pat Schultz. Huber, a Belle Plaine native, is the head baseball coach for Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D., who Dahlke, a 2014 BPHS graduate, plays for. Schultz, who is Belle Plaine High School’s head baseball coach, coached Dahlke during his high school years. Huber and Schultz played together at BPHS long before Dahlke came around. They also played together on the Belle Plaine town team before Huber joined Renner, which is near Augustana College.

Striking Out ‘The Large Human’ Belle Plaine’s Ben Wagner, who was the Minnesota River Conference’s co-most valuable pitcher this past high school season and graduated on June 7, started on the mound for the Tigers town baseball team Friday night against powerful Renner, S.D., and in the first inning struck out minor league legend Juan “The Large Human” Thomas. Thomas was drafted as a designated hitter/first baseman by the Chicago White Sox in the 10th round of the 1991 amateur draft. In 1,495 games in 14 minor league seasons, “The Large Human” swatted 291 homers, drove in 1,019 runs, collected 1,509 hits and recorded a .272 batting average. His drawback? He struck out 1,646 times. He is currently an assistant coach for head coach Tim Huber at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D. Huber is a native of Belle Plaine and has in recent years brought his Renner, S.D., town team to Belle Plaine for the annual Tigertown Classic.
