Grand Ole Couple to Lead Parade

by Dan Ruud An employee at Kingsway Retirement Living in Belle Plaine knocked on Emil Ashauer’s door Friday and asked him to move his car from the indoor parking garage to the lot outside because the garage was going to be cleaned that day. All the cars needed to be out.

Emil obliged.

Not such a big deal unless you consider the fact that Emil is 101 years old, an age few people attain much less still drive a car, a task he will leave to someone else for 30 minutes or so this Saturday.

Emil and his wife, Viola (Dahlke), who is 95, will become the oldest couple to ever lead a parade in Belle Plaine when they take on the role of grand marshals for the German Days Parade. The occasion will mark almost exactly 25 years since Emil last led a parade – that being the 1989 Bar-B-Q Days Parade.

Emil was born June 5, 1913 on his family’s farm in Lidgerwood, N.D. His parents were Herman and Marie Ashauer, who raised six kids.

Shortly after his 100th birthday last spring, Emil explained that he was just a kid when his

“He was a tailor who learned his trade in the old country (Germany),” Emil said. “He had come over, got married, and when he heard how rich the North Dakota farmers were, he went there and that’s where I was born. But then he found out the North Dakota farmers weren’t getting rich and he went back to tailoring.”

Eventually, the family found

Council Lifts Moratorium on Establishment of Tobacco Shops But Product Sampling Would Not be Allowed

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine City Council Monday night unanimously approved removal of the temporary moratorium on the establishment of tobacco product shops in Belle Plaine but banned the sampling of prod-

ucts in such shops, which there are presently none of in the city.

On March 17, the council approved an interim ordinance temporarily prohibiting the establishment of tobacco-related product shops. It stated that the ordinance would be in effect “until further review of any new licensing or related provisions pertaining to such uses, or until one year, whichever comes first.”

At that hearing, staff reported that although there had been initial discussion locally about a temporary ban on the sale of e-cigarettes, that was no longer the case, and those businesses

Belle Plaine’s Anderson Among State’s Top Young Bass Anglers

New Playground at Prairie Park Workers last week were busy completing the finishing touches to a new $50,000 play structure at Prairie Park, home to the city’s softball field. Last fall, the city council authorized the purchase from Minnesota/Wisconsin Playground of a new play structure for Prairie Park at a cost of $38,298. Funding came from the city’s park dedication fund. The city received a grant from Minnesota/Wisconsin Playground in the amount of $12,544 for the structure. If not for the grant, the total cost of the project would have exceeded $50,000.

Rotary Club Donates to Food Shelf The Belle Plaine Rotary Club presented the Belle Plaine Food Shelf with a donation of $1,035 on May 28. The funds were raised at a pancake breakfast held on March 30 at St. John’s Lutheran Church. Matching funds were provided by Thrivent. Pictured, from left, are Pat Ollhoff, president of the Belle Plaine Food Shelf; Sharon Blume of the Rotary Club and food shelf volunteer; Ashton Pankonin, president of the Rotary Club; and Kelly Smith, secretary/ treasurer of the Rotary Club and pancake breakfast chair.

HEARING LOSS DUE TO EARWAX?

There aren’t many things Shawn Anderson would rather do than load up the boat, make sure the equipment is packed and take to the water in search of the right size bass.

Anderson and his fishing partner, Isaiah Wimbley of Lakeville, recently finished fifth in the Minnesota State Fishing Championship on Lake Waconia Saturday, June 7. The five bass they brought to the weighin cumulatively weighed 14 pounds, 14 ounces. The fifth place finish is especially impressive, Anderson said, when noting each of the five bass they brought to the weigh-in were only a few ounces shy of the winning team’s five fish. Edina High School’s Nick Montilino and Ross Kellermeier brought five bass to the weigh-in with a cumulative weight of 18 pounds 4 ounces.

Like any serious tournament angler, Anderson visited the lake the day before to scout out spots where the bass were assembling. But the morning of the competition, the weather had turned foul. Traveling across the lake at high speed just after sunrise to the spot where he and Wimbley thought they could catch the most fish, the pair endured the bouncy ride. Later, they faced a pounding rain and high winds.

Only lightning triggered their withdrawal from the middle of the Lake Waconia to the shoreline along the northwest side of the lake, where bass were congregating amidst a cluster of reeds.

The June 7 tournament was Anderson’s first against high school-age competition this year and the third of the 16 tournaments he plans to compete in this summer. He’ll be back in the water in competition Friday (June 20) in Brainerd, Minn.

Anderson is not certain whom he’ll fish with on the Whitefish Chain this weekend. He may enlist the assistance of his sister, Vanessa, a ninth-grader, since he needs a partner to enter. When competing in tournaments against other high school students, Anderson needs the help of an adult boat-owner/pilot since he’s not yet 18.

When he’s not working one of his two summer jobs, Anderson can’t imagine not being on the water fishing. One of his summer jobs is in Chaska. Anderson has figured out the distance to his workplace and the nearest lake.

Whether it’s in competition or just for pleasure, Anderson loves to fish. His Facebook page is a vehicle to meet other anglers and trade information on techniques and upcoming events.

Anderson’s introduction to fishing was about 10 years ago.

He and his family was visiting his grandfather, Terry O’Leary, in Tennessee when Anderson was introduced to fishing on Old Hickory Lake, a reservoir on the Cumberland River.

Anderson has a photo of himself with the first fish he ever caught. “We caught a ton of sunfish,� he recalls.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Mankato State College, graduating in 1965. She taught at East Union and at Central Elementary in Norwood-Young America, mainly teaching first grade. She retired in 1987. It brought her great pleasure when former pupils greeted her in the community.

Faith and family were Rhoda’s highest priorities and greatest sources of joy and strength. She loved Bible reading, music, gardening and spending time with her family. When she wasn’t tending to her family, she was tending to her large gardens and preserving the fruits and vegetables it produced. She enjoyed the wonders of nature and the countryside.

Those surviving her, who are comforted by the assurance of resurrection in Jesus Christ, include her children, Kenneth Ische of Eagan, Gloria (Kerry) Kruppstadt of Minnetonka, Jane Ische of Cologne, Kathleen Bartels of Savage, and Rhonda (Mark) Pirkl of Golden Valley; 11 grandchildren, Susan Ische, Erin (Michael) Benson, William P.

Rhoda influenced many area children in her 30-year career as an elementary school teacher. She completed a yearlong teacher training at Stevens Seminary in Glencoe. Her first teaching assignments were in one-room schoolhouses in rural Cologne and Assumption.

While she taught at Assumption and boarded nearby, a neighboring farmer’s wife encouraged her youngest son, Bill, to court the local schoolteacher. Rhoda gave him more than a passing grade.

Rhoda was united in marriage to William Ische, Jr. on June 18, 1947 at Zion in a newsworthy triple wedding with two of Rhoda’s sisters and their grooms.

The local PCC event was developed in response to the Heading Home Scott-Carver “Plan to End Homelessness� approved by the Scott County Board of Commissioners and the Carver County Board in 2010. The project reinforces the goal of raising awareness by engaging the community in supporting efforts to address the challenges of poverty and homelessness in the two-county region.

Scott-Carver PCC also provides vouchers for Minnesota birth certificates, identification cards, driver licenses or license renewals and information on community resources.

Transportation to the event, lunch and childcare is available at no cost.

All of the services provided at PCC are funded by donations from local business, organizations and individuals, and the event is organized and staffed entirely by local volunteers.

The flooding left damage to road shoulders, ditches and a ravine along portions of County Road 6 (Scenic Byway Road), particularly in the area of County Road 5 in Faxon Township. The flooding created just over $329,500 in damage, the Gaylord Hub recently reported.

The threshold for state disaster funds is just over $306,200.

Along County Road 6, damage estimates came in at $282,947.50 in repair costs.

If Sibley County qualified for disaster aid, it will hire a contractor to do the work. If it does

not qualify, county public works staff will perform the repairs.

Water Rates

As part of the city’s application for a public facilities authority (PFA) loan for improvements to water lines beneath County Road 36, the city was required to do a rate study.

Monday, councilors discussed the need to remove property tax levy money from the city’s water fund. State law permits the city to use property tax levy money for the water fund on a temporary basis, said City Administrator John Hendel.

The city expects the water en-

terprise fund will finish 2014 with a balance of $582,259. The city’s levy accounts for $85,529 – 14.6 percent of that projected surplus. The city plans to remove that money from the water fund over the next few years through either spending reductions, rate increases or both, Hendel said.

He noted the council wants to minimize the impact on residents. The council has not approved an increase in water rates for 2015.

city less when the job is completed. The council approved contracts to seal the building, accepting quotes for sealing the exterior. A Norwood Young America firm, Painting by Brush offered the low quote -$2,875. Two other contractors offered quotes -- $4,700 and $5,398 -- for similar work.

The city bought the building from Carver County 12 years ago for $150,000. Replacing it, Lein said, would likely cost approximately $300,000.

When Cologne city public works staff and the council first took a look at the city’s public works building earlier this spring, Mayor Matt Lein guessed the city would likely have to spend as much as $80,000 to fix what ailed the building on West Louis Street.

Monday evening, Lein and the other councilors approved the final steps of the repair project to the building. They were pleased the final bill didn’t reach the mayor’s rough estimate.

As it turned out, his guesstimate was about $20,000 high.

Lein didn’t mind being wrong one bit.

The roof and building repairs needed to keep water out of the building are complete at a cost not to exceed $36,345. Two final steps were approved Monday (June 16) – tuck pointing portions of the building’s exterior and sealing the exterior.

The council awarded the tuck pointing job to Restoration Systems of Chaska. Its quote of $15,300 is expected to cost the

Mass of Christian Burial for Bessie Reak was held Monday June 16, at Holy Redeemer in Montgomery, with interment in St. Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery in Lexington. Father George Kallumkalkudy officiated.

Bessie’s memorial card read “You can open your eyes and see all she has left”… She left 10 grown children and was blessed with 22 grandchildren. Our sympathies to her loving family especially Roger and Eileen Meger Reak, Adam and Sarah, who have deep roots here in St. Thomas.

A Memorial service for Carl Nuessmier was held Wednesday, June 18 at the Zion Church of Christ in Le Sueur. Interment was at the Dresselville Cemetery in Sharon Township on County Road 26. Carl was our bus driver for many years. Forty-seven years after riding his bus, this writer remembers this friendly, mild mannered man with a unique voice as Carl would say “Good morning” and address each of us by name as we got on the bus.

After school, Carl would say, “Good Night” and again address each and every one of us by name as we got off the bus.

Never heard him raise his voice or laugh out loud. He had a quiet smile. If Carl looked up in his rearview mirror at a misbehaving student a second time, he would hold his glance, it would get the attention of one of the high school guys, like Danny Retka or Tom Connelly, and one would tell the naughty one to “Knock it off!”, whatever the case. Carl was extremely even-tempered, wellliked and highly respected. He loved nature, the farm and animals. Our sympathies to his wife, Elaine, and their family.

No one hurt at the Ted and Maureen Hoehn Middlestadt’s farm home near Blue Earth due to Monday evening’s storm. High winds and hard rain took a number of trees down in their yard, and a huge tree on their house. It was scary, “but thank God, we’re all safe”. Maureen is the daughter of Cletus and Alice Burns Hoehn.

Not strangers to storm damage, a funnel cloud or straight-winds completely leveled Maureen’s sister’s home near Cleveland in 2006. Kathy was thanking God all were safe then, too.

Anna Burns was crowned the 2014 Miss Janesville. Anna, the daughter of Bob and Joan Stumpf Burns, is a JWP senior and plans to attend Gustavus Adolphus College in the fall of 2015 to become a drug and alcohol counselor. According to her bio, she is involved in several extracurricular activities including National Honor Society, Show Choir, History Club, Yellow Ribbon Team, dance and the fall musical.

Rachael Patterson and Ryan Almich were united in marriage at St. Anne’s Catholic Church in Le Sueur on Saturday, June 14.

Guests enjoyed a reception, dinner and dance at the Arlington Community Center. Bev Almich and the late Howard Almich are grandparents of the groom.

Brittney Boelter Abraham, Jake “Wingnut” Miller and Davie Connelly were part of the huge wedding party. The groom requested “Howard’s Polka” as part of the wedding dance plans and during a toast to the bride, Wingnut and Davie entertained guests by singing advice to her, “Stand by Your Man” Blues Brothers style. Tom Goetzinger of TRG Productions provided music for the dance. A wonderful time was has by all. The newlyweds make their home in Henderson.

Greetings to dedicated readers Mike and Lynn Hoffman of St. Patrick. They had a fun time at Ryan and Rachael’s wedding, too.

Grand Ole Couple to Lead Parade (continued from page 1) when Emil first drove a car – his dad’s Model T. Emil’s own first car was a used 1929 Model A. Emil, a 1931 graduate of Belle Plaine High School and class salutatorian, worked for Totushek Hardware until he joined the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1943, where he ended up in New Guinea, the Philippines and occupied Japan.

When Emil returned from the service in 1946, he found that Totushek had sold the hardware store, so he went to work in Jordan for a few years before becoming a plumber for Ramstead Hardware. Emil started his own business (Emil’s Plumbery) in Belle Plaine in 1953 and “kept Belle Plaine’s pipes and drains running” for 22 years before retiring in 1975.

Emil was very active in the community before and after retirement. While working for Totushek Hardware in the 1930s, he became an associate member of the commercial club. In 1953, he drew up the plans for a permanent community bandshell in the city park.

Emil was a charter member of the development corporation in 1959, planning committee in 1968 and the historical society in 1975. He also served on the borough council (now called city council), the swimming pool building committee (a project that he was one of many to volunteer time to its construction), the Bar-B-Q Days committee and the Trinity Lutheran Church Council.

A couple of years ago, Emil was honored by the Belle Plaine Rotary Club for his service of 40 years (1972-2012).

Before any of the above occurred, Emil was a member of Belle Plaine’s first Boy Scouts troop, in which he ascended to Eagle Scout.

Emil and Viola were married over 20 years ago. Both of their first spouses (Emil’s Faith and Viola’s Fred) died about a month apart from each other in early 1988. Fred and Emil were classmates at Belle Plaine High School, graduating in 1931.

Emil and Faith (Simon) were married for over 50 years. They had no children.

Viola, who is also a graduate of Belle Plaine High School, had just three words to say when asked where she worked when she was younger.

“On the farm!” exclaimed Viola, whose parents were Emil and Agnes Schultz, longtime farmers in the area. Viola also worked a number of years for Green Giant in Le Sueur and the former Apco service station and restaurant in Belle Plaine.

Viola has one son and two daughters – Bob Dahlke of Belle Plaine, Jan Schense of Henderson and Fern Dahlke of Atlanta, GA. Viola also has a number of grandchildren.

Long after his military days in the Pacific, Emil became an avid traveler. Among the places he visited were Russia, Germany, Austria, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, China, Australia and Alaska.

“He’s been all over the world.

There’s hardly a place you can name he hasn’t been to,” said Viola, who like Faith, would often accompany Emil on the trips.

Emil and Viola were also “snowbirds” for a number of years, spending many winters in McAllen, Texas, up until a few years ago.

Emil would do the driving there and back even well into

VA Outreach Clinic Open in Shakopee’s Town Square Mall

Veterans seeking assistance from the Veterans’ Administration now have a closer outlet for help. A new VA outreach clinic in Shakopee’s Town Square Mall just opened Monday (June 16).

The clinic will serve the 15 most common health concerns

The clinic operates under the umbrella of the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis. Valor Healthcare Inc., a Humana Government business is managing the new clinic. A similar clinic opened in Albert Lea, Minn.

Report: Cause of Fire at Horse & Hunt Club is ‘Undetermined’

A Minnesota Fire Marshal’s report says the cause of the fire that destroyed the Minnesota Horse & Hunt Club in Spring Lake Township south of Prior Lake during the morning of Dec. 31, 2013 as undetermined.

The fire had such a head start and had done so much damage to the clubhouse that the cause of the fire and its origin could not be determined, according to Ronald Rahman, an investigator with the Minnesota Fire Marshal’s office. When Prior Lake firefighters arrived, a portion of the saloon and supper club was already destroyed and the begun to collapse, the Shakopee Valley News recently reported.

Rahman was able to determine the building’s sprinkler system was not operating properly.

The room housing the system’s

pump and piping system were not heated and the system was frozen. The original building built in 1969 had a sprinkler system that relied on an underground reservoir. Additions to the building built in the 1980s and ‘90s merely added piping sprinkler piping on to the existing system, the newspaper reported. The ice in the pipe

prevented water from moving throughout the system so the sprinkler system could operate as intended.

But the owner of the club has made good on his vow to build again. Construction of a new 11,000-square-foot club began in April. It will be open in August.

Fr. Michael Prepares to Bid OLP, Belle Plaine Fond Farewell (continued from page 1) and the improved organization and efficiency it affords the parish staff. “We run a lean operation,� he said.

Best of all, at nearly $2 million, the building is 90 percent paid for, he said. Fr. Kaluza wishes he could stick around long enough to see the playground installed and the landscaping completed. “People have responded well and generously,� he said. “All of us have something to give to God.�

But his work at OLP is not primarily about a building. He has seen attendance at Sunday Mass increase. He believes he has helped OLP grow and helped people “love God� through the preaching of the Gospels� and serving them from cradle to grave.

The parish has also seen giving increase to a point where an operating deficit has been erased. Fr. Kaluza has shepherded the improvement while avoiding frequent preaching about finances. “Father Kaluza is very skilled and highly thought of,� said Auxiliary Bishop Lee Piche of the Archdiocese of St. PaulMinneapolis. “He has done very well at Our Lady of the Prairie, and as often happens in the church, the reward for doing well is to be asked to take on greater responsibilities.�

Fr. Kaluza has worked with parishioners to bring new ideas and redefined ways to conduct business. He stressed listening to people and giving them time to express themselves even if their opinions were contrary to the direction most parishioners believed the church should be headed. “I let people be heard, even when we had to duke it out,� he said. “If I was a dictatorial priest, I’d be a parish of one.�

Betty Fahey, the church’s business administrator said of Fr. Kaluza, “He can be very blunt without offending people.

How he does it, I don’t know,� she said.

Ironically, Kaluza was assigned to Devine Mercy before he was assigned to OLP in 2010. He was the associate pastor at Devine Mercy, working with Fr. Kevin Finnegan. “Returning a priest to a parish where he previously served doesn’t happen often, but it’s not unprecedented,� Bishop Piche said. “In this case, Fr. Kaluza returns as pastor instead of associate pastor to Divine Mercy where he is known and liked and therefore will be able to begin with an advantage. “ Finnegan is leaving Devine Mercy and Fr. Kaluza was asked to accept an assignment returning him to Faribault as the pastor effective July 1. He’ll also be in charge of St. Michael’s in Kenyon, Minn.

Like OLP, Devine Mercy has an elementary school, an element that brings life and vibrancy to a parish. “I’ve always asked to be assigned to a parish with a school,� Fr. Kaluza said.

Devine Mercy has about 2,500 families – several times the size of OLP. The parish also has an associate pastor, Fr. Nick VanDenBroeke, to help Fr. Kaluza with the workload.

While Devine Mercy finished a building project, it still has facilities needs to be addressed over the long haul, Fr. Kaluza said. A social haul is on several Devine Mercy parishioners’ peoples’ wish lists, Fr. Kaluza said.

Just as he’s returning to Devine Mercy Kaluza hopes one day he’ll be able to return to OLP. “I hope I’m leaving Our Lady of the Prairie better than I found it,� he said.

Superintendent’s Update

By Dr. Kelly Smith

Graduation ceremonies were just over one week ago and yet it seems like the school is in full summer mode as we hit the middle of June. Even during the summer months our schools continue to be very busy places.

Summer school is off and running at the high school as students attend classes in the morning to help ensure that they are on the path to a timely graduation. Elementary summer school will begin in July and special education summer school will occur at a later time as well.

Our custodial staff are already busy with summer cleaning as they methodically work their way through each building. We have a veteran crew who knows the routine of summer cleaning and understands the timing of this process as well. There is a controlled timeline on all duties as they work around the schedules of summer school classes, our school age child care program and the various activity camps that are constantly going on in the buildings. They know that our buildings are expected to be in tip top shape by the middle of August as teachers and students will be arriving shortly thereafter.

There are several construction projects that occur over the summer as well. This year, our biggest project is a re-roofing project as the south gym roof at the high school is being replaced. Crews from Nieman Roofing were on site last week to begin the process and all work is expected to be complete this week. Our membrane roof systems typically last between 20 and 25 years so roof replacement projects are pretty common during our summer months.

Another project this summer will be the upgrading of our wireless network to prepare each of our buildings for the one to one initiative that will begin this fall. We are making improvements to the connections from our buildings to the Scott County Fiber Ring (our access out to the Internet) and we are upgrading the capacity (bandwidth) and robustness of each of the wireless networks. Our custodial staff will be pulling the necessary cable to accommodate the additional access points needed in classrooms and then our wireless contractor will follow behind to install the access points and balance the network. When all is completed, our network will have a capacity of 10GB of service with access points capable of handling over 30 connected devices in nearly every classroom in the district.

It is great to see the methodical transition of our school buildings each summer as our custodial crew works hard to prepare our buildings for the new school year. We are fortunate to have such a skilled and dedicated crew who take so much pride in their respective buildings.

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!

Shakopee School District Nears $100 Million Budget The loss of $60,000 in revenue after all Shakopee School District elementary, middle, junior and senior high students enjoy free admission to high school sporting events is one of several small elements of a budget nearing $100 million for 201415.

The Shakopee School Board in the county’s largest school district recently OK’d a 2 percent increase in its operating budget, a hike raiseing the level of spending to $98.8 million. The biggest chunk of spending additional staff positions, primarily those associated with all-day kindergarten, 10 secondary and four elementary teaching positions and funding for student

activity budgets.

The new teaching positions are to serve a projected 480 new students in the Shakopee School District, the Shakopee Valley News recently reported.

The district is spending $12 million in construction of new learning space, primarily for new kindergarten classrooms and $200,000 for deferred maintenance work.

But Shakopee’s budget is not just new spending. The district will receive $880,000 in new revenue – the result of a slight change in the per-pupil funding formula as well as the new students. The district will also receive $150,000 for medical assistance billing.

Sibley East IDs Site for Proposed Elementary School

The Sibley East School District task force studying school facility needs has a specific site for its proposed elementary school in Gaylord.

The district has identified a city-owned parcel between Highway 19/5 and Lincoln Avenue East and Sibley County Road 21. A purchase from the city and/or land swap would have to be completed before the land could be used for a school housing pre-kindergarten through fifth grades.

Task force members favor the site because it is reportedly preferable to Gaylord taxpayers and is considered safer for Arlington students being transported to the school, the Gaylord Hub

recently reported. It would replace a school building in Gaylord, a building the city and county are possibly interested in using if the district builds a new elementary school.

In addition to new school, the task force is also recommending renovation and improvements to the school building in Arlington. But before any of it occurs, Sibley East School District taxpayers must OK a proposed $43.9 million bond referendum. The task force believes the election should be held in early 2015.

The school board will discuss the recommendation at its July 21 board meeting.

fense that set her apart. She had a perfect 1.000 percent fielding average, twice robbing opposing hitters with a diving play.

McKayla Lobitz, a junior center fielder, hit second in the NYA lineup and was a table setter and run producer. She played a great center field – playing 74 innings of defensive play, recording 12 putouts and committing only one error (.923 fielding percentage). She hit .439 with an on-base percentage of .531.

Jordan Paige Pitlick, a sophomore pitcher, pitched the bulk of innings for the Jaguars. She is a fierce competitor and great leader by her work ethic. Her ERA was 2.11 with 125 strikeouts and a 10-6 record.

Alexa Dalton, a senior third baseman, was a team captain and five-year starter. She was great with the younger players and demonstrated what it took to be a varsity player. She put the team “on her back” many games. She hit .472 with 25 hits, 26 RBI and six home runs.

Her on-base percentage was .556 with a slugging percentage of .943.

Lydia Plechaty, an eighthgrade first baseman and pitcher, contributed to the team both offensively and defensively and was also a solid No. 2 pitcher.

She had 100 fielding touches with only one error. She hit .333 with 18 hits, 14 RBI and a slugging percentage of .666.

Watertown-Mayer Lily Reinert, a junior pitcher, has been the Royals’ leader and already a team captain for two seasons. She does all the small things that make her a leader on and off the field. She batted leadoff or second all season and her .463 batting average led the team.

Lacey Sullivan, a junior third baseman, is a quiet leader that continually gets the job done.

In tough situations, she is the player you want at the plate or to make the tough play defensively. She is a calming force and hit at the top of the order all season. She hit .377 with an on-base percentage of .433 and had 12 RBI. Ashley Wiswell, a junior center fielder, did a good job for the Royals in the outfield with great range to cover the gaps.

She has a strong arm as well.

She hit in the middle of the batting order and led the team in RBI with 15 while hitting .395

with an on-base percentage of .500.

Tri-City United Dani Angileno, a junior catcher, has been a three-year starter for the Titans. She was second on the team this year with a .319 batting average and slugging percentage of .489. She was among the leaders with 12 RBI, 15 hits and an on-base percentage of .373. She is very strong behind the plate and is a constant threat to throw out runners trying to steal a base.

She is a great base runner and an extra coach on the field.

Alyshia Angileno, a senior pitcher, was a starter for four years and was the leading hitter for the Titans this year. She led the team with a .333 batting average, .440 on-base percentage and .548 slugging percentage.

She was second on the team with 14 hits and 11 RBI. She is a player who works hard and pushes herself to improve and those around her. She was the number one pitcher for TCU and also played third base and outfield.

Mayer Lutheran Krianna Boelke, a senior catcher, was a four-year starter for the Crusaders. As the team’s catcher, she was the field leader.

She had an on-base percentage of .354 with a team-high 11 RBI during conference play, while also scoring nine runs, which tied for the team lead. Her leadership on and off the field was very valuable to a young team.

Sibley East Kim Kurtzweg, a senior shortstop, marked her third year on varsity and her third All-Conference award. She had excellent hustle and was a team leader. She was one of the most aggressive players on the field at all times. She was a consistent player on defense and was one of the team’s top batters on offense. She even stepped in to pitch one game and recorded four strikeouts. Some of her stats included a .250 batting average, a .333 on-base percentage, 10 runs scored, 11 RBI, six doubles, one triple and two home runs.

TCU to Invest in More Seating at School’s Football-Track Complex Spectators at a football game or track meet at Tri-City United High School in Montgomery, know seating there comes at a premium.

But the TCU School Board recently OK’d the purchase of additional seating at the complex. The new bleachers will be located at the west end of the

home side of the football field and track. The new seating is intended to reduce the number of people who stand along the fence or sit in overflow seating, the Montgomery Messenger recently reported. Superintendent Teri Preisler said the new bleachers are a safety improvement for fans at the contests.

Belle Plaine Beat Down by Chaska, Renner and Weather

by Brett Kruschke and Matt Schultz Friday was a beautiful night for baseball at Tiger Park but rain washed out both Saturday and Sunday, meaning eight of the tournament’s 10 games were lost. On Friday, Marshall beat Young America 11-1 in six innings and the Tigers were nipped 2-1 by Renner, S.D., on a walk-off hit-by-pitch.

The ballpark took on a lot of rain Saturday, an estimated 2.5 inches by some counts. Sunday morning was a borderline call but the Belle Plaine Baseball Association decided that with the state tournament just two months away, it was best to err on the side of caution.

Matt Schultz and the Tigers almost shocked Chaska last Tuesday before a 10-run explosion in the ninth inning led to a deceiving margin of victory for the Cubs. Despite a 5-9 overall record, the Tigers sit atop the RVL Central Division with Jordan at 3-0.

Tonight (Wednesday) the Le Sueur Braves arrive at Tiger Park for a 7:30 p.m. contest – a make-up game from June 1.

Friday’s game under the new lights at Cologne has been cancelled by the hosts, as a number of league-game rain outs led to the call. Belle Plaine will wrap up the weekend Sunday with a 4 p.m. duel at Henderson.

Chaska 14, Tigers 2 The Chaska Cubs came to town in what would be the Tigers’ last game of the year against a Class ‘B’ team. Tiger manager Mike Schultz decided to send brother Matt to the mound, hoping he would get hit around and stop asking to pitch every game like he has for the last nine years.

In his first mound appearance since junior high, Matt kept hitters off balance by throwing slower than anything they had seen this year. Some suggested they use a calendar instead of a radar gun to time his pitches.

He surrendered four runs over six innings of work thanks to some fine defensive plays by the Tiger defense.

Belle Plaine made it 4-2 in the seventh and had a chance to win the game, but couldn’t get a big hit with guys in scoring position. Jordan Johnson, Trevor Latzke and Mike Schultz combined to close out the contest, in which the Cubbies plated 10 runs in the ninth inning.

The locals had seven hits in the game.

Renner, S.D. 2, Tigers 1 In the opening round of the Tigertown Classic, Belle Plaine faced the Renner Monarchs, the 2013 South Dakota champions.

Belle Plaine native Tim Huber’s green-clad squad entered with a 23-game winning streak and in fact, hadn’t lost since St. Louis Park beat them in the champi-

State Parks Offer First-Time Camping Experiences for Families People who have never pitched a tent or cooked over a fire – or who have forgotten how – can practice these and other outdoor skills when they sign up for one of the 24 “I Can Camp!” programs offered this summer at state parks and recreation areas.

“Camping is fun and it’s a long-standing Minnesota tradition,” said Eric Pelto, who coordinates the “I Can Camp!” programs for the Department of Natural Resources Parks and Trails Division.

All camping equipment is provided, including tents, air mattresses and cook stoves at these beginner-level programs.

Participants need only bring their own food and bedding (sleeping bags or blankets and pillows).

“Our ‘I Can Camp!’ instructors will be on hand to help families with everything from tent setat

up to meal preparation,” Pelto said. “They’ll also try to make sure everyone has fun by providing opportunities to try geocaching, digital photography and other activities.”

One-night workshops ($40 for up to six people in a tent) are scheduled on most Saturdays now through August. Eight two-night workshops ($60 for up to six people in a tent) are also available for families who want a more complete weekend camping experience.

Reservations are required and can be made at www.mndnr. gov/reservations or by calling 866-857-2757, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, excluding holidays.

These programs are made possible with support from the Parks and Trails Fund, created after voters approved the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment in November 2008. The Parks and Trails Fund receives 14.25 percent of the sales tax revenue and may only be spent to support parks and trails of regional or statewide significance.

Kaylee Hentges

Elizabeth Johnson

Kenzie Koepp

Maddie Studnicka, Kaylee Hentges and Elizabeth Johnson are Belle Plaine High School’s representatives on the 2014 All-Minnesota River Conference softball team. Teammate Kenzie Koepp received honorable mention.

Le Sueur-Henderson’s Carlie Brandt was named the conference’s Most Valuable Player after leading the Giants to a share of the conference title with Norwood Young America.

Carol Lilla of Tri-City United was selected by her peers as Coach of the Year.

NYA had five players named to the team, followed by LS-H, Belle Plaine, Jordan and Watertown-Mayer with three apiece.

TCU had two, while Mayer Lutheran and Sibley East both had one.

Studnicka, a senior pitcher, was the workhorse for the Tigers the last two seasons and this year was no different. She has a conference record of 6-4, pitching 52 innings in MRC games and tallying 61 strikeouts. On the offensive side, she batted .320 in conference games and hit two home runs.

She was solid defensively as well with a fielding percentage of .913.

Hentges, a sophomore shortstop, finished her second season for the Tigers at shortstop and has been a leader on the defen-

sive and offensive side of things for her team. She compiled a fielding percentage of .911 this season and led the team in hitting with a .415 average and a slugging percentage of .774 in conference games. Throughout the season, she held the team lead in at-bats, hits, home runs, RBI and walks.

Johnson, a freshman third baseman, has been a solid player for two years at the varsity level and was a true leader on both the defensive and offensive sides for the Tigers again this season. Offensively, she batted .327 and had an on-base percentage of .560. She stole 17 bases and was not thrown out a single time. She also had an impressive .914 fielding percentage at third base. She put up some impressive numbers this season and overcame an injury to play at such a high level.

Le Sueur-Henderson Carlie Brandt, a sophomore pitcher already in her fourth full year on varsity, has taken her game to a new level. She was 12-2 overall in MRC play, averaging 14 strikeouts and 1.5 walks per game. She struck out 199 batters and walked 21 in 91 innings of work. Offensively, she had a tremendous year, batting .512 with 19 RBI, six doubles, two homers, 20 stolen bases, while only striking out twice. Brandt was named MRC

Most Valuable Player by conference coaches.

Veronica Sinell, a senior second baseman, was a catalyst for the Giants’ offense as she used her speed, good eye and ability to make contact on the move to get the team going.

Mikayla Reinhard, a freshman first baseman, has been a very consistent contributor to the Giants for the past two years. She continues to get better with the bat as she hit .368 with 10 RBI. She also was very good in her first full year at first base with a fielding percentage of .969.

Norwood Young America Kaylie Brazil, a junior shortstop, played 74 innings at the position for the Raiders and posted an .886 fielding percentage with just four errors. She has terrific athleticism, fantastic range with an elite first step coupled with a strong/accurate arm. She hit leadoff for the team the majority of the time, hitting .450 with an on-base percentage of .551. She scored 21 runs and had 10 RBI with 14 stolen bases.

Megan Miller, a junior catcher, played 14 conference games and 75 innings behind the plate.

She had no errors and threw out four base runners trying to steal. She recorded five putouts and 10 assists while allowing only two passed balls. She hit

.361 with an on-base percentage of .510. She had one home run and 15 RBI. Natalie Stockman, a senior pitcher, won 12 conference games for the Raiders in 74innings pitched. She posted a 0.57 ERA to go along with an opponent’s batting average of just .137. She was a reliable, tough and gritty pitcher. However, it was her offensive skill set that set her apart. She hit .523 in MRC play while generating great power. Of her 23 hits, 10 were for extra bases, including three home runs. Even though given very little to hit by opposing pitchers, she had 25 RBI (and had a state-leading 47 total RBI in all games). In the field, she was near perfect with a .971 fielding percentage, committing only one error in conference play.

Kayla Leonhardt, a senior right fielder, was an additional leadoff hitter for the Raiders hitting from the ninth spot. She was a natural right-handed hitter who taught herself to slap and swing from the left side beginning in her freshman year.

She hit .441 with an on-base percentage of .525. She had a good eye at the plate and had four extra-base hits on the season. She was an important asset on offense but it was her de-

Belle Plaine Lands Three on All-Conference Softball Team Teeing Off at State Hannah Johnson, who graduated from Belle Plaine High School on June 8, competed in the Minnesota State Class 2A Girls’ Golf Tournament at Ridges at Sand Creek in Jordan last Tuesday and Wednesday. Johnson, a repeat state-qualifier, is pictured teeing off on the first hole the first day of the tournament. Johnson finished 39th in a field of 88 state-qualifiers with a 36-hole total tally of 176. Finishing tied for first at 143 were Maggie Heggerston of Pequot Lakes and Kate Smith of state team champion Detroit Lakes. Jordan, which finished seventh in the team standings, was led by Trianna Thong, who placed seventh individually with a score of 154.

Belle Plaine’s Josiah Barringer finished 54th among 90 shooters at the state trap shooting competition Saturday at Minneapolis Gun Club near Prior Lake.

B.P.’s Barringer 54th at State Trap Shooting Meet Freshman Aims to Use State Meet as Motivation

Josiah Barringer hoped for a better showing at Minnesota State High School Clay Target League State Tournament Saturday at the Minneapolis Gun Club near Prior Lake. He finished in a three-way tie for 54th in a field of 90 individual shooters.

The BPHS ninth-grader hit 89 percent of the 100 targets, with individual rounds of 21 of 25, 24 of 25, 21 of 25 and 23 of 25.

The winning score was a 99 of 100 by Lumdeen Gust of Dassel-Cokato. His one and only miss came in the third of four rounds.

But Barringer isn’t sulking or dwelling on what might have been. Barringer, Belle Plaine’s first shooter to reach the state competition, is planning on earning a berth in next year’s competition with a goal of a much better finish.

He went to the Minneapolis Gun Club Saturday aiming to finish among the top-30 shooters. He knew he would have to top his average score (22.8 of 25) to do so. His practice rounds – 23, 23 and 22 – gave him reason to believe it was possible and that there was hope his best was yet to come.

Barringer’s resume includes two rounds of 25 in his three years on the Belle Plaine High School Trap Shooting Team.

“I’m happy that I made it. I felt I could’ve done better,” he said.

He endured a case of jitters in the opening round but rebounded and “got back to business” in the next three rounds.

While Barringer won’t use the weather as an excuse since many of the 90 shooters had to deal with the rain and wind, he concedes the conditions did bother him.

Barringer, the son of Naomi and James, qualified for the state competition – the first time it was sponsored by the Minnesota State High School League – the previous week in Alexan-

dria at a meet sponsored by the Minnesota Clay Target League.

Barringer wants to focus more on being a better shooter earlier in the season next year. As a fourth-year veteran, Barringer will be one of the more experienced shooters the Tigers have next year. He plans to use that experience to improve his accuracy earlier in the year rather than trying to peak at the end of the season.

“Now that I know what it’s like to go to state, I plan to do better next year,” he said.

Writes Right, Shoots Left

Barringer is left-eye dominant, a characteristic identified when he first joined the team as a seventh-grader. He shoots left-handed and writes with his right-hand.

He uses a Baretta 12 gauge that belonged to his grandfather, Dick Schultz. The shotgun dates back to the early1970s. Though he never knew his grandfather well – Schultz passed away in 2001 – Barringer enjoys using it. It’s seen plenty of use over the years.

The stock cracked several years ago and was mended. But the gun is easy to handle and aim. It is comfortable to use, he said.

“It’s pretty old, but I feel good using it,” he said.

He also benefitted from eye surgery. An imbalance in the muscles in both eyes impacted his depth perception. The imbalance was evident when Josiah tried to catch a ball in a phy-ed class or on the playground during recess, his father, Jim, said. Doctors corrected the imbalance with surgery on both eyes Josiah was seven.

Barringer had never fired the shotgun – any shotgun for that matter – until 2011. His early accuracy was impressive for a beginner. Testing identified the left-eye dominance.

He learned early that firing at the clay target during the early portion of its flight works better, before the pattern of buckshot dissipates enough to reduce the chances of a hit.

“I really enjoy trap shooting.

It’s a lot of fun,” Barrringer said.

Tigers Place Four on All-MRC Baseball Team Pat Schultz Named MRC Coach of the Year

Belle Plaine High School’s representatives on the 2014 All-Minnesota River Conference baseball team are Derek Dahlke, Ben Wagner, Chase Emmers and Aiden Ladd. Fellow Tiger Aaron Bigaouette was honorable mention.

MRC coaches selected Isaac Hormann of Norwood Young America as the conference’s Most Valuable Player, while Brody Rodning of Sibley East was voted Most Valuable Pitcher. Pat Schultz of MRC champion Belle Plaine was selected by his peers as Coach of the Year.

Belle Plaine and NYA both had four players chosen to the team, followed by WatertownMayer, Jordan and Tri-City United with three apiece. Sibley East had two, while Le Sueur-Henderson and Mayer Lutheran both had one.

Dahlke, a senior pitcher and infielder, was a huge all-around leader for the Tigers. He was always pushing his teammates to get better in the offseason, in games and in practice. He was BP’s top pitcher with a 4-0 MRC record and a 1.12 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 25 innings.

He also had a great year at the plate, hitting .422 in 19 regular season games. He led the team with 20 RBI and four home runs. He is the son of Darwin and Susan Dahlke.

Wagner, a junior pitcher and infielder, was one of the Tigers’ top hitters and pitchers this year. He had a 2-1 W-L record with a 1.85 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 22.2 innings pitched.

He also hit .340 with 15 runs scored and had a .470 on-base percentage. As the No. 2 hitter, he did a great job of being on base for the middle of the order and really made opposing pitchers work hard against him.

He is the son of Dave and Kim Wagner.

Emmers, a senior pitcher and outfielder, was one of the hardest workers in the offseason and everyday in practice. He improved himself in every aspect of the game and became one of the top players on the team. He led the Tigers in innings pitched and recorded a 3-1 W-L record with a 1.84 ERA. He had 31 strikeouts in 26.2 innings pitched. He also hit .351 with 13 runs, 16 RBI and 19 stolen bases. He is the son of Michael Emmers, Sarah Jaeger and Brent Jaeger.

Ladd, a sophomore catcher and infielder, led the Tigers with a .426 batting average.

Hitting in the cleanup spot, he drove in 17 runs and led the team with seven doubles. He pitched in relief and appeared in five games with a 2.63 ERA. He also did a great job defensively and played a variety of positions well. He did a great job of keeping teammates loose and making sure everyone was having fun playing baseball.

He is the son of Jason and Amy Ladd.

Norwood Young America Alex Eichner, a senior outfielder, had a good year for the Raiders as he worked extremely hard in the offseason.

It paid off as he hit .324 with five RBI. He had an extremely potent .500 on-base percentage that included 11 walks and six stolen bases.

Isaac Hormann, a junior pitcher and shortstop, had another great season, hitting .500 in MRC play while leading the team with seven doubles and two home runs. He also led the team in RBI with 11. He was a rock up the middle at short and also was 3-1 on the mound with two saves. His ERA was 1.56 in conference play with 28 strikeouts in 27 innings.

He walked only four and gave up just four runs. He loves the game of baseball and the team will be fortunate to have him back next year. He was named MRC Most Valuable Player by the coaches.

Jordan Kohls, a senior pitcher and first baseman, had a great year on the mound for NYA. He was 3-1 with an ERA of 0.62.

In 22.2 innings pitched, he gave up just two earned runs while striking out 27 and walking six.

He also played a very good first base and hit .258 with nine RBI in conference play. His leadership and dedication to the program will be missed next year.

Alex Meeker, a senior pitcher and outfielder, had another solid year for the Raiders both on the mound and at the plate. He pitched 14 innings with a 1.47

Aaron Bigaouette ERA. Opposing teams hit only .111 against him. He hit .258 with nine RBI. He also had two game-winning hits.

Watertown-Mayer Michael Herd, a senior pitcher, tossed 30.2 innings with a 3-0 W-L record, just two earned runs allowed and a 0.46 ERA. He had 42 strikeouts with just four walks and 18 hits. A team leader, he was a very hard-nosed competitor on the mound.

Zach Iten, a senior pitcher and right fielder, hit .367 for the Royals from the cleanup spot, adding eight RBI and scoring five runs. From the mound, he pitched 30.1 innings with 37 strikeouts and 11 walks to go with his 2.31 ERA. He pitched in many close games, keeping the score close and giving his team a chance to win.

Jordan Berrios, a senior shortstop, was leadoff hitter for the Royals and hit .333. He also had eight walks and two hit by pitch. His .464 on-base percentage and game-winning walk-off home run against Jordan in the bottom of the 10th inning were conference highlights for him.

Time on The Land A few dozen children learned about growing organic vegetables, the role bees play in the environment and how worms transform food waste into compost at a Farmers Union day camp last Wednesday (June 11) at Prairie Oaks Institute in Belle Plaine. Campers also played team-building games, worked on art projects, enjoyed hay rides and The fun activities gave Addisyn Giles plenty of reason to had hot dogs for lunch. smile.

Heavy Rains, Strong Winds Strong winds accompanying several inches of rain were too much for some of the branches on this tree along East State Street near North Chestnut Street over the weekend. Winds measured as high as 50 mph in Belle Plaine along with almost three inches of rain over the weekend pelted the area.

Prior Lake Woman Wins Lottery Prize

Connie Paape of Prior Lake recently won $10,000 playing the Minnesota Lottery’s PowerballŽ game.

Paape claimed the prize June 6. It was purchased at Cub Foods, 8015 Den Road in Eden Prairie.

Having already acquired the land, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is selling the house and structures via an auction.

Monday (June 16), bids were due on a historic house, 40-by60 pole barn and other buildings formerly on the Kjellesvig property in the Ney Wildlife Management Area (WMA).

The property is located on the north side of Highway 19 in Blakeley Township.

The DNR wants to clear the land so it can be incorporated into active use within the Ney WMA, an area of over 600 acres including the former Kjellesvig property.

Citing “public safety and emergency management� con-

cerns, the agency also wants the accessory buildings and house removed so it can fill in the foundation and cap the well, said Dianna Regenscheid, DNR area wildlife supervisor for the south metro area. The house dates back to circa-1878.

Last year, the DNR acquired the 128 acres Kjellesvig lived on for many years. It is a blend of wooded forest and ravines, Regenscheid said. It is popular with bird watchers and hikers.

Because it is contiguous to areas where hunting is permitted, the DNR also allows hunters to use the property during specific seasons.

The WMA is across the highway from the Ney Nature Center in Le Sueur County.

Ray Barrett, the DNR staff person overseeing the auction, did not expect a large number of bids. The wooded nature of the area will make moving the buildings, particularly the house, problematic, he said.
