It’s Her Students, Colleagues LaJeunesse Will Miss The Most Longtime B.P. Elementary Teacher Retires

German Day’s Royalty Gabrielle Malecha (left) was crowned German Day Queen Friday evening (June 16) in a ceremony in downtown Belle Plaine. She is the daughter of Renee and Norman Malecha. Rebecca Schmitz, daughter of Sheila and Chuck Schmitz, was crowned first princess. They will represent Belle Plaine with royalty from Bar-B-Q Days and St. Patrick’s Day at area community festivals. German Day activities drew hundreds of people downtown for the annual cookout and street dance featuring the Johnny Holmes Band. German Day was funded by charitable gaming proceeds and the German Day Committee.

B.P. Schools Will Be Enlightened When New Year Begins When students return to school next fall, one of the improvement they may notice right away are new lights in all of Belle Plaine’s school facilities.

The school district is planning a major lighting retrofit of all its classrooms, offices, hallways, and common spaces in all four buildings – most everywhere except closets and storage spaces. The district is planning to replace the florescent lighting tubes with light-emitting diodes (LEDs), high-efficiency lights intended to save just over $59,350 per year on the district’s $275,000 electric bill for all its buildings. That amount is for all the equipment that draws electricity, not just the lighting, said Jeff Heine, the district’s director of facilities and maintenance.

At a recent board workshop, directors indicated their favor with the proposal. They are expected to formally approve it at Monday’s (June 26) regular board meeting.

APEX won the job with a low bid of $867,000. The school district will receive a rebate of approximately $94,719 when the job is completed. True North was the other company to submit a completed bid for the job.

Its bid was just over $905,000 – about 4.3 percent higher than APEX’s bid. A crew from Cedar Creek will install the lighting APEX is providing.

The district will fund the lighting project with a 10-year bond. The bond won’t add any increase to property taxes. The

district will use long-term facilities maintenance money included in the existing levy to fund bond payments, said Chuck Keller, the district’s business manager.

The new lights are needed because the old lights are wearing out. Most of the florescent lights in the junior-senior high, Chatfield and Oak Crest elementary schools have reached the end of their functional life, Heine said. Florescent lights and their ballasts typically last about 10 years, said Heine.

The lighting in the junior-senior high was new when it was renovated in 2006. Oak Crest opened in 2007.

The new lights will also have more efficient controls, allowing for dimming of the lights when a video is playing and reducing glare off the screen of iPads, Heine said. Teachers report softer lights can be helpful with modifying some students’ behavior, said Heine.

Florescent lights have been failing at an increasing rate around the district. Custodians have been holding off on widespread change-outs of lights in anticipation of the upgrade, Heine said.

The new lighting system also comes with more sensitive monitors to automatically shut off lights when rooms are not in use. The proposal includes new emergency lighting and wall packs. They will replace the existing emergency lights and batteries which are also outdated, Heine said.

his insurance premiums for life, dental, long-term disability, and group health insurance through Sept. 30. He will also be paid in a lump sum the value of all unused vacation or sick leave.

The agreement also includes a non-disparagement clause, meaning neither the city nor Votca will speak ill of the other.

Votca participated in Monday’s city council meeting. He left the meeting without answering questions following the completion of a workshop.

A former U.S. Army officer of more than a dozen years, Votca came to Belle Plaine from the City of Tracy, Minn. where he served as city administrator since the summer of 2013. He was hired from a pool of 20 candidates to become the top choice. The City of Tracy was Votca’s first municipal administrator job. He had previously done a city government internship in Mankato and served in the U.S. Army for 13 years (1999-2012).

Belle Plaine will once again look to a member of its staff to serve as an acting city administrator until Votca’s replacement is hired. Dawn Meyer, the city’s finance director, will again serve as acting city administrator. Meyer served as acting city administrator from September of 2013 to August of 2014, and from May of 2016 to October of 2016.

When she turns the calendar from July to August, Kristen LaJeunesse will no doubt think about preparing her classroom for the coming school year.

She’ll think about the schedule of meetings with fellow teachers and the preparation that goes into the first day of a new school year.

And then LaJeunesse will gently smile and remember she no longer has to worry about any of it. After three-dozen years teaching -- 32 in Belle Plaine – LaJeunesse retired at the end of the 2016-17 school year. She was the among the longest tenured teachers on the district’s seniority list.

“Every summer goes by and the to-do list has got to be done,” she said. The list always includes a visit to her sister, Janice, in Kansas City.

Next winter, a trip to see her twin sister, Karen, in Phoenix is planned. “This summer will feel more relaxed.”

A different teacher will prepare LaJeunesse’s classroom at Oak Crest the first week of August.

“That’s when it will hit me. I’m retired,” she said. “I don’t have to think about it anymore.”

But she will. She’ll miss the fun activities early in the school year as teachers get to know their students. LaJeunesse plans to travel more and substitute teach when she feels like it. She looks forward to volunteering to make the trek to Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center next fall. Though the time was right for her to retire, LaJeunesse holds no illusions there won’t be a day when she misses being a teacher.

“I’ve been doing it forever,” she said.

Not to be outdone by their Irish neighbors in the spring, Belle Plaine residents celebrated their German heritage Friday evening (June 16) downtown. German Day included the annual downtown cookout, coronation of the German Day royalty, and a street dance featuring the Johnny Holm Band.

Pictured clockwise (from above on the left), dozens of runners, many dressed as their favorite superhero, participated in the superhero run which started and ended outside State Bank of Belle Plaine; Scarlette Nagorski was one of many youngsters participating in the tractor pull on West Main Street; Dave Boulton of Porta, Minn. handled the grilling for his daughter, Jenna, of Edward Jones Investments during the downtown cookout; Mike Horejsi of Coborn’s Superstore focused on grilling honey BBQ ribs; a team of staff members from State Bank of Belle Plaine, Belle Plaine Chiropractic, and Strait Smiles provided turkey sandwiches for hungry visitors; Johnny Holm entertained people downtown until midnight; and Lainey Schwartz offered Kayla Buszman a citrus lemon “mocktail” during the cookout.

What a magniďŹ cent resource.â€?

Kristen and Joe are in no hurry to move out of Belle Plaine. Joe retired from the Army Reserves after 28 years. Their son, Andrew, lives in Duluth and son, William, lives in Eau Claire.

Their son, Stephen, attends the University of Minnesota. “I’m ready for the next adventure,� she said. “We’ll see what happens.

LaJeunesse’s sixth-graders have studied the Iditarod dog sled race. They followed the teams online and used the race to incorporate different facets of the race, strategy and the geography of Alaska.

FISH Hosting Speaker on Suicide

Belle Plaine Public Works staff removed the bituminous pavement of the old tennis courts and some of the fencing around the courts across the street from Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School Friday afternoon (June 16). The city and school

district swapped land earlier this spring, an exchange that gives ownership of the old courts to the city. The city’s longterm plan potentially includes using the courts for a pool expansion or splash pad.

Families and Individuals Sharing Hope is hosting a speaker on suicide and how to recognize signs of a possible suicide, as well as help families who have been impacted by it.

Dr. Terry Raddatz, the clinical director of Mental Health Services, will present information Thursday, July 13, 9:30 to 11 a.m., at Spring Lake Township Hall, 20381 Fairlawn Hall, just outside of Prior Lake. His presentation includes an introduction to suicide awareness, common myths and facts about suicide, comments on the Netflix series “13 Reasons Why,” and the increasing rate of suicide among the middle-aged population.

“In light of the recent popu-

larity of the Netflix series, ‘13 Reasons Why’, there has been a great deal of national attention given to teen suicide,” said Bethany Tjornhom, executive director of FISH. FISH representatives approached staff from Scott County Mental Health Services, an organization supporting families and those afflicted by suicide. FISH wants to use the meeting to educate the public about the seriousness of the issue, and provide resources for those individuals who have been affected by suicide.

The presentation is free and open to the public. RSVPs are required and can be e-mailed to fish@fishpartnernetwork.org or called into (952) 440-3600.

State’s Largest Invasive Carp Caught Near Redwood Falls Bighead carp Captured by Bow Angler and Reported to DNR

Your community full service eye care facility

A bow angler fishing in a private gravel pit near Redwood Falls Sunday caught the largest invasive carp recorded in Minnesota. The bighead carp measured 47½ inches in length and weighed 61.7 pounds.

Invasive fish coordinator Nick Frohnauer said the angler immediately reported the capture to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and was helpful getting the specimen delivered to the area fisheries office. “The news of this capture is somewhat alarming, given the size and location,” Frohnauer said. “This bighead carp was captured about 80 miles upstream from the only other bighead carp captured in the Minnesota River.”

The fish likely entered the gravel pit during a period of high water. The pit is within the Minnesota River floodplain and periodically becomes connected during flood flows. When floodplain lakes become connected to the river, fish move into these areas to escape the high water velocities in the main river and exploit new food sources.

“The gravel pit where the carp was captured provides a unique opportunity to determine if the fish was an isolated capture or part of a group,” Frohnauer said. “The pit is off the main channel, so fish are confined to a smaller area rather than having many miles of river.”

The DNR invasive carp field crew is working with the local fisheries office and the landowner to conduct follow-up sampling. The crew will also look at sampling areas near the location, including floodplain lakes and the main river.

The DNR is concerned about the potential impacts of invasive carp in the Minnesota River and other waters. The agency is working with other state and federal agencies, conservation groups, university researchers, and commercial businesses to prevent the spread of invasive carp.

The DNR has contracted with the Water Resources Center at Minnesota State University,

Mankato to provide information to guide DNR management decisions for the Minnesota River.

The Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center at the University of Minnesota has funding through the DNR to evaluate potential deterrents for Mississippi River Locks and Dams.

Through the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENTRF), they have installed acoustic speakers at Lock 8 in southeastern Minnesota and modeled flows through the gates at dams 2 and 8, near Hastings, and 8. The DNR is in the process of awarding a contract to explore the feasibility of installing an acoustic deterrent system at Lock and Dam 5 in southeastern Minnesota. A deterrent system at this location would help prevent fish from moving into both the Minnesota and St. Croix rivers.

Invasive carp have been progressing upstream since escaping into the Mississippi River in the 1970s. These large fish compete with native species and pose a threat to rivers and lakes. While no breeding populations have been detected in Minnesota waters, individual fish have been caught in the Mississippi near the Twin Cities, the St. Croix River and the Minnesota River.

Invasive carp captures must be reported to the DNR immediately. E-mail the agency at invasivecarp.dnr@state.mn.us or call 651-587-2781. Take a photo and transport the carp to the nearest fisheries office or make arrangements for it to be picked up by a DNR official.

More information about invasive carp is available at mndnr. gov/invasivecarp or by phone at 651-587-2781.

Follow the Tiger travails on Twitter at twitter.com/bptigertown this weekend and throughout the season. The boys will finally return to action at Tiger Park June 29 and 30, with a pair of contests before the Independence Day break.

Tigers 8, Le Sueur 3 Belle Plaine headed to Le Sueur Saturday (June 17) for the first of back-to-back league games on the weekend. Mitchel Stier got the starting nod and was solid throughout his stint, pitching six innings and scattering seven hits while allowing three runs.

Joe Pomije relieved Stier and was even better, tossing three frames of shutout ball to pick up an old-fashioned save. The moppy-haired mop-up man walked three batters but gave up just one hit while striking out four.

Pat Schultz summoned ghosts of yesteryear with a dazzling 5-for-5 performance, including two doubles and three RBI. A trio of Tigers collected two hits in the midday affair -- Jesse Oelfke and brothers Aiden and

Carsen Ladd – all part of a 13hit attack.

Henderson 9, Tigers 8 (10 innings) It was a catfight, as the Tigers of Belle Plaine traveled to take on the Tigers of Henderson Sunday (June 18). Josh Terrio started on the mound and went four innings, yielding five walks and five runs. Jonny Vinkemeier went the rest of the way and allowed just one earned run – among four overall – before giving up a walk-off, RBI single in the 10th inning to Matt Graham.

Belle Plaine trailed early before exploding for six runs in the seventh inning to take a 7-5 lead. In the eighth, Henderson scored three times to take the lead back. Team Tigertown tied it up in the ninth with a single tally.

Matt Schultz led the 12-hit attack with three safeties in five trips. Carsen Ladd, Jared Miller and Nathan Herman all had two knocks, with the latter making his town team debut. Aiden Ladd hit a three-run home run – the Tigers’ first since the St. Benedict bombings May 13, when they slugged three.

ďŹ rst price increase for the stamp since 1979, when it rose from $5.00 to $7.50, in order to keep up with inďŹ&#x201A;ation and escalating land acquisition costs. Current estimates indicated nearly half a million acres of wetlands were being lost each year in the United States.

A group of about thirty Shakopee residents packed the City Council Chambers of the Shakopee City Hall on Thursday evening, June 18, in opposition to the Starwood Amphitheater, a music pavilion with a total of 17,000 seats and parking for 6,679 cars, proposed for the Canterbury Industrial Park. The plan was to have the theater open from May to September, with 40 to 60 events per season. Citizens Against Starwood Amphitheater (CASA) expressed major concerns about trafďŹ c congestion and off-site security.

D & R Sportsmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bar served strawberry margaritas and melon balls all day Friday, June 26, with Wittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hitts providing entertainment that evening.

Belle Plaine Elementary School Principal Earl Gransee encouraged parents to pick up their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report cards by Friday, June 26, or to wait until the ďŹ rst day of school next fall.

A report card included a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth quarter grade, next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room assignment, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fitnessgramâ&#x20AC;? from the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Council on Physical Fitness, and a list of supplies needed for next year. Numerous report cards were also left for parents to pick up at the junior and senior high schools.

Milred Boyle, a resident of the Belle Plaine Lutheran Home, turned 101 years old on June 11 and fondly remembered the many changes that occurred during her century of life as a city girl, having never lived on a farm.

Saturday Alive, an afternoon of Christian music featuring former Minnesota Vikings Joe Jackson and Jay Carroll and singers Steve Gamble and Leesa Cherry, was scheduled for Saturday, June 27, at Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South Park. The concert was free and sponsored by the Shakopee Full Gospel Businessmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association, Skyward Communication, and local businesses.

Over twenty people showed up Saturday, June 20, to lend a hand in giving the old Episcopal Church on the corner of Church Street and Highway 25 a fresh coat of white paint and red trim.

OfďŹ cers of the Scott County Historical Society estimated it had been at least ďŹ fteen years since the church was last painted and that it would take another two Saturdays to ďŹ nish the work and add a second coat. The Society purchased about 100 gallons of paint to do the job.

The 17th Annual Sidewalk Cookout was planned for Friday evening, June 26. About a dozen grills were expected to be set up in the downtown area, with free meat samples served starting about 7:30 p.m. Two groups of businesses were planning hog roasts, with Harold Krueger of Winsted providing musical entertainment on Meridian Street from 6 to 9 p.m.

Construction continued on the Highway 25 Bridge. Having begun in late April, a seven-member crew from Arcon Construction of Mora, MN was working on the $608, 883 project, which included removing the old bridge, originally built in 1935, and building a completely new one at the existing site. The bridge was expected to be 11 feet wider than the old one, increasing from 26 to 37 feet wide, and include a six-foot wide sidewalk on the east side.

State Senator Earl Renneke from Le Sueur expressed his displeasure to Governor Rudy Perpich at the progress Minnesota is making to reduce stockpiles of used tires and to move ahead with reclamation efforts of the existing ďŹ&#x201A;ow of discarded tires.

Renneke pointed out that the Tirecycle Plant in Babbitt and the tire â&#x20AC;&#x153;chipperâ&#x20AC;? facility in Andover, even if operating at peak capacity, would take years to get rid of the stockpiles. The Pollution Control Agency estimated there were 4 to 5 million waste tires in dumps at that time, and 3 million more could be added each year.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reminded waterfowl hunters and other conservationists that the price of Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, better known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Duck Stampâ&#x20AC;?, would increase from $7.50 to $10.00 on July 1, 1987. This was the

Scott County Mulls Potential Transfer of CR 1 to Blakeley Twp. With two county roads linking Highway 169 and Blakeley village so close together, Scott County is considering a proposal to transfer responsibility for County Road 1 to Blakeley Township.

Thursday (June 15), Scott County highway staff heard loud and clear from township residents that the rural community doesn’t want and can’t afford to accept the road.

About 40 Blakeley Township residents gathered at the township hall and expressed their disagreement with the county’s proposal.

The county’s proposal is to turn County Road 1 back to Blakeley Township and maintain the newly-improved County Road 60 as a link between Highway 169, Blakeley village, Scott County Road 6, a bridge over the Minnesota River, and Sibley County Road 6.

County highway staff and Commissioner Barbara Weckman Brekke of Jackson Township represented Scott County.

Township Supervisor Rob-

ert Wagner said County Road 1 should remain a county road because it primarily serves regional traffic traveling between Highway 169 and Sibley County, not Blakeley Township residents.

“It’s been a county road for as long as anyone can remember, from the beginning of time,” Wagner said. “The county thinks it (turning back County Road 1) is a great idea. Every single resident there thinks it’s a horrible idea.”

The county will address the idea of turning back roads at a workshop. The date of that workshop has not yet been set.

Weckman Brekke said she heard the objections of township residents but is waiting for input from county staff before making up her mind on the proposal. She is also interested in learning how County Road 60 is used once it has been open for a several months.

“They made some very good comments and points,” she said.

“If the data supports that it is not local, we’ll see.”

Tri-City United Adds Clubs to List of Official School Activities Robotics, cheerleading and weightlifting are no longer club sports in Tri-City United schools.

The school board recently voted to elevate the club activities to official school-approved activities.

The approval begins with the coming school year (2017-18), the

Montgomery Messenger recently reported. The activities can now receive varying levels of school district funding. The new activities will cumulatively cost about $4,000.

TCU serves Montgomery, Lonsdale, Le Center, and area townships.

It was a beautiful day.

A large gathering attended the Memorial Mass and reception for Agnes Pint Topil. We extend our condolences to Mary Fahey, Stanley Pint and their families.

Flavian Weiers was honored for his 90th birthday

last Saturday afternoon. In the beautiful decorated lawn at the Roger and Patty Weiers home where many family and friends gathered. Perfect weather, great food, lots of beer and wine was enjoyed. A surprise was the music of Marty Weiers on drums and Colton Tupy on concertina playing old time music.

The finale was Marty playing a drum solo of Wipe Out. It was a day to remember. We appreciate all who came and for the cards and gifts.

Marty and Farrell Weiers and family returned last week Wednesday from a two week vacation trip to Greece.

Hopes of winning the state tournament were dashed Thursday as the Tigers lost to the Marshall School Hilltoppers in the first round of the Minnesota State High School League Class AA Baseball Tournament.

Tigers Drop Two at State Tourney By the time the Belle Plaine High School baseball team wrapped up the Class AA state tournament, the Tigers were out of pitching and struggling to keep pace with two good teams, Marshall of Duluth and New London-Spicer. In the end, they came home proud of their success this season.

Belle Plaine dropped two games in St. Cloud, both by 8-4 scores. The Tigers finished the season at 20-4. They reached the state tournament for the second year in a row, the first time BPHS had accomplished the feat.

“Our top pitcher, Brody Curtiss, had an arm injury that only allowed him to throw three innings over the last six weeks of the season, so that did hurt our depth,” said Pat Schultz, the team’s head coach. “We felt confident in the guys that pitched for us, but just a combination of not making the plays, not making the pitches and facing some good hitting teams hurt us.”

The coach thanked his seniors for their efforts. They were part of solid success the last two years including two MRC titles, two section titles, two Belle Plaine tourney titles, and a combined 45-6 record. Jared Miller, Nathan Herman, Brody Curtiss, Jon Schmidt, John Glynn, Alec Ruud, and Noah Ellingsworth will be missed greatly, the coach said. “They leave the program much stronger than when they started,” he said.

Marshall 8, Tigers 4 Unseeded Marshall rallied from a 4-1 deficit to ruin Belle Plaine’s hopes of a return trip

B.P. Seniors Earn State Honors

BPHS seniors Brody Curtiss was named to the Minnesota State High School Baseball Coaches’ Association All-Star Team. He’ll play for the South Metro team in the all-star series at Chaska Athletic Park this weekend.

Curtiss will play for the Metro South team. The team will play Friday (June 23) at 12:30 p.m. and Saturday at 9 a.m.

The association named Belle Plaine’s Nathan Herrman allstate. He will not play in the tournament.

to the tournament’s championship game. The Hilltoppers scored twice in the sixth inning and five times in the seventh to claim the win in the tournament opener Thursday (June 15).

Marshall took an early lead, 1-0, in the first inning but the Tigers rallied. Curtiss drove in a run. The Tigers added another run to take a 2-1 advantage in the first inning.

Belle Plaine took a 4-1 lead with a run thanks to a Hilltoppers’ error and Jonathan Schmidt driving in Miller.

Miller had tripled earlier in the inning.

But the Hilltopppers came back, taking advantage of timely hitting and untimely Belle Plaine errors. The Tigers finished the game with four errors.

Marshall narrowed Belle Plaine’s lead to 4-3 after six innings and wrapped up the win with five runs in the seventh.

Offensively, the Tigers managed seven hits. Carsen Ladd and Schmidt each had two hits.

Alec Ruud, Miller and Curtiss also had hits. Ladd scored twice for the Tigers. Tyler O’Brien also scored for BPHS. New Lond.-Spicer 8, Tigers 4 Five runs in the fifth inning spelled Belle Plaine’s demise and killed the Tigers’ hopes of winning consolation hardware Friday. The Wildcats opened a 6-4 lead and finished off Belle Plaine with two more runs in the sixth.

“Miller started on the mound this game and really battled after throwing 25 pitches the day before. He did not have his best stuff but really worked hard to give us four good innings of 1run ball. We really hit the ball well this game but again left too many guys on base early in the game,” Schultz said.

Belle Plaine took a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning. Curtiss and Nathan Herman opened the inning with back-to-back doubles; Miller and Andrew Hunsader had RBI singles. Curtiss hit a solo home run in the fifth, his fourth home run of the season.

New London-Spicer scored five times in the fifth inning to take a 6-4 advantage. The Wildcats added two more runs in the sixth.

“This was a tough game and tough way to end a great season. I was very proud of the way the boys came to play

today after such a tough loss against Duluth Marshall. They were excited and ready to play a couple games and finish strong, but it just was not in the cards,” Schultz said. “Our pitchers really battled both games and only allowed four walks over the two games. Our defense unfortunately struggled and we made our pitchers work more than they needed with all of our errors. We took good at-bats and did a lot of good things, just not enough to win.”

Jonathan Schmidt (left) and Tyler O’Brien tried to avoid colliding as the ball dropped between them during the seventh inning Thursday against Marshall School.
