Nature’s Bombardment Latest Rains Leave Big Scars

by Dan Ruud Flooded basements and crop fields, landslides, downed trees and washed out roads were the aftermath when the second major rain event to strike the Belle Plaine area in three weeks occurred last Wednesday and Thursday. The first was May 31 into the early hours of June 1.

Numerous other rains between those two soakers, including 2.2 inches on June 14, also contributed to the scars that occurred Thursday, the most notable of which are the washouts on Scott County Road 6 and Sibley County Road 6 (Scenic Byway) between Belle Plaine and Blakeley (see photo). Those roads, as well as County Road

60, are not expected to reopen anytime soon. In fact, a number of residents of Blakeley Township have been evacuated until safe transportation routs and power can be restored (see separate story). Dozens of people are impacted by the evacuations. Scott County sheriff’s deputies and Belle

Belle Plaine’s Carlson Family Saw the Worst of the Storm

It’s a matter of perspective, the way Randy Carlson sees things when he looks at the house he and his family built a decade ago on Henderson Station Road. After several groundsoaking rainfalls the previous days, Thursday’s (June 19) rainfall was more than the land could take. A hillside just south of the house collapsed, sending tons of dirt and clay crashing through a wall. The damage may be repairable, then again,

maybe not. “You could be lying in a hospital room or in the morgue,” he said, adding that maintaining a positive outlook is what keeps him from getting too down. “It could be worse. We’re very lucky.” Randy Carlson recently retired from teaching at Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School where he taught math

If You’d Like to Help the Carlsons

Plaine firefighters escorted residents out of Blakeley one at a time on ATVs. So much of the hillside on County Road 60 had washed away that officials were afraid the pavement would collapse from car or truck traffic. Other area roads are also closed. Even Highway 169 in Belle Plaine had to be closed for hours on Thursday before reopening. Other area roads remain closed indefinitely, from Highway 19 in Henderson to the highways 41 and 101 crossings in Chaska and Shakopee, respectively. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has opened an

Sepp refused to hand over the title belt immediately after Paradise won his revenge.

Green Isle Looking for Options to Squelch Frequent Vandalism The last time Sibley County Sheriff Bruce Panning appeared before the Green Isle City Council, he implored the city council or residents to call anytime a deputy is needed in the town. After a series of acts of vandalism, primarily after sunset since the end of the school year, councilors and residents may have the sheriff on speed dial. Vandalism to streetlights along Lake Erin Drive along with damage to the park shelter at Lions Park, vandalism that includes broken lights, holes shot in the wall of the park shelter and the tipping of concrete

benches overlooking the park. Reports of vandals clogging toilets in the restrooms at Irish Yard Baseball Park and teenagers throwing firecrackers at small children have also been reported. The city now locks the restroom at the ballpark during the evening so people using the adjacent playground don’t have a facility to use. City Clerk-Treasurer Bert Panning said a group of teens is suspected. The city has considered a number of steps in trying to catch the vandals in the act, but to no avail. Mayor Dale Zum-

Berge has seen groups of teens at night but has been unable to identify them for the sheriff’s deputy assigned to Green Isle. The council at its June 10 meeting discussed changing the city’s curfew for children, but it is already 10 p.m. The city currently has approximately $43,000 budgeted for sheriff’s coverage in Green Isle. ZumBerge said the council is not likely thrilled about increasing that amount for an increased presence by the sheriff’s office. “We’ve got to do something,” he said.

If your home or business has been affected by flooding, I would encourage you to take advantage of the Department of Commerce’s Disaster Information Center. They are an excellent resource to answer insurance claims questions. For more information, you can visit http://mn.gov/commerce/ consumers/disaster-information-center/. You can also call

Linda Gutzke had hustled from her home several blocks south of Shadd’s earlier that morning to see how he was doing. The house Shadd owned since 2002 doesn’t have a sump pump. It’s never needed one. “I’ve got one now,� he said. There was no water in the finished portion of the basement, only a little bit in an unfinished crawl space. While Shadd was at work,

ôôô½ôA[¨£Â?Ae¨eƒn½[¨Âž

Didn’t Need One . . . I’ve Got One Now

Linda went out searching for a sump pump for her son. She found one of the last sump pumps on the shelves at Menard’s in Burnsville. The pump cost just less than $100. Looking back toward Orchard Street at a drainage pond to the southeast, Shadd Gutzke shook his head. The pond had overflowed. “I’ve never seen that before,� he said. He’s seen the ball field at the corner of South Maple Street and Meadow Circle soaked before, but never like this. “It’s been up to the kids’ knees or so, but I saw somebody out there and it was up to their neck,� he said. Back at Finger’s house, Tina Jacobs, stopped by to check in on Finger and the girls. The Jacobs were not so fortunate. They had about five or six inches of water in the basement of their house on Green Acre Court. Jacobs and her husband had purchased on old farmhouse on Green Acre Court. A drain in the basement had clogged and the water backed up, she said. “We’re the only ones in the neighborhood without a sump pump,� she said. The Jacobs family had spent much of the day removing saturated carpet from the basement floor. The bottom section of sheetrock was soaked, too. “This really stinks,� she said. “I hope it stops raining.�

of the water, Finger’s attention turned to the sump pump in the house she and her husband bought several years ago. Their house was one of the first in the neighborhood. They’ve had minor flooding in the lower level before, but that was when a storm KO’d the electricity and the sump pump couldn’t do its job. They didn’t lose power Thursday. “It’s been pretty much going non-stop all day,� she said. “As long as the power stays on, we’re OK.� Across the street at Gutzke’s house, Gutzke, his mother, Linda, and his children were in a slightly better mood. They were joking about owning lakefront property and wondering what the property tax hike might be if the assessor stopped by. Gutzke could afford to be a little glib.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Nature’s Bombardment (continued from page 1) additional lane (through restriping) on the Minnesota River bridge between Shakopee and Bloomington. The Minnesota River was still on the rise in the area Tuesday when this edition of the Herald went to press. It was expected to crest in Henderson sometime Tuesday or today. At least moderate flooding is forecast.

their fellow Minnesotans are safe. I have confidence in their resiliency and will work to ensure their voices get heard so they receive the help and support needed to rebuild and recover,” Kline continued. Gov. Mark Dayton declared a State of Emergency for 35 counties, including Scott, Sibley and Le Sueur.

According to the county rain gauge at the Ewald and Adella Gruetzmacher farm in Belle Plaine, 4.10 inches of rain fell late last Wednesday, which was followed by 3.50 inches Thursday morning, bringing the total for June up to that point at 11.80 inches. That’s on top of the 7.86 inches that fell in May, including 4.14 inches on May 31. This is believed to be the wettest first six months of a year in the Twin Cities region since 1871. Numerous Belle Plaine homes experienced flooded basements, especially south of Highway 169. The Belle Plaine City Council held an emergency special session Thursday afternoon to declare a State of Emergency, the purpose of which is to get the attention of higher levels of government in hopes of obtaining aid. Scott County declared a State of Emergency Monday morning. Belle Plaine Public Works Superintendent Al Fahey said that damage to the city’s roads and infrastructure appears to be minimal, but that it’s still “wait and see” with the wastewater treatment facility until after the river crests. Fahey said he has no estimate for how many Belle Plaine homes were impacted by the flooding. Congressman John Kline, accompanied by Belle Plaine Mayor Mike Pingalore, Scott County Emergency Management Director Chris Weldon and others, were in Belle Plaine Saturday to tour damaged areas, including Blakeley. “Some Minnesotans have been asked to evacuate, mudslides have damaged homes, roads have been washed out, power lines are down, railroads are buried under mud, and some farm fields are underwater,” stated Kline in a prepared statement. “Emergency responders, professionals and volunteers alike have heroically answered their neighbors’ calls to make sure

Belle Plaine farmer Ewald Gruetzmacher said all the rain will undoubtedly reduce yields this year, adding that he was recently in the Waverly and Norwood Young America areas and noticed a lot of unplanted fields. He said it’s becoming too late to change that this year. Gruetzmacher said he knows of some soybean fields that were underwater for three days but are starting to “green back up.” As for corn, it’s probably “done” after just two days submerged. “Minnesota was always known to be the Land of 10,000 Lakes but now there’s another 5,000,” Gruetzmacher said. According to the United States Department of Agricultural Statistics Service, widespread precipitation during the week ending June 22 left soil saturated, which was stressing crops and delaying efforts to finish planting. Wet field conditions also hindered crop spraying and the first cutting of hay. Topsoil moisture supplies were rated 0 percent very short, 0 percent short, 42 percent adequate and 58 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies were similar in percentages. Soybean planting was 95 percent complete, 3 percentage points behind the five-year average. Ninety percent of the soybean crop has emerged. Soybean condition is rated 1 percent very poor, 6 percent poor, 29 percent fair, 56 percent good and 8 percent excellent. Corn emergence was 96 percent, 2 points behind normal. Corn condition ratings came in at 1 percent very poor, 6 percent poor, 23 percent fair, 57 percent good and 13 percent excellent. Spring wheat emergence was 98 percent, 2 points behind the average. Spring wheat condition ratings came in at 1 percent very poor, 6 percent poor, 34 percent fair, 53 percent good and 6 percent excellent.

A Foot of Rain So Far in June

Up, Up and Away The Shari Sin Dance Studio presented “Up, Up and Away, Dancing is the Way” recital in June of 1984. The following Belle Plaine girls belonged to Shari Sinn Dance Studio and participated in the recital. In the back row, from left, are Candy Lambrecht, Noreen Newell, Kelly Behnke, Shelly Fogarty, Cathy Schwartz, Wendy Bergs and Carrie Townsend. In the front row are Katie Fogarty, Jamie Bergs, Megan Murphy, Michelle Murphy, Danielle Schmit, Karee Chevalier and Tonya Chevalier. Al Frechette, environmental health specialist for Scott County, stated that he had turned over his statistical reports on V & S Enterprises of Belle Plaine to Scott County Attorney Kathleen Morris for possible criminal action. “I’ve tried to correct the problem over the past two years by working with Marvin Voss, owner of the salvage yard,” Frechette said. Frechette was encouraging the DNR to purchase the property, from which debris from the salvage yard often ended up in the river during times of high water. Voss said he was willing to sell the property to the state and was just waiting for them to make an offer. The Minnesota River was on the rise that month as a result of heavy rains. It had reached its highest level since 1969, completely covering all lowland in the valley. Farmers with low fields lost their crops and more roads were going underwater. It was the highest June flooding that most people here could remember. A Bloomington couple in their mid-20s attempted to negotiate the Minnesota River in a canoe near Blakeley that Sunday morning and their enjoyable outing almost turned tragic. The flooding river had risen to the point where there was almost no clearance under the deck of the Blakeley bridge. Ervie Herrmann and Nick Schouviller were on the bridge looking at the river when they saw the canoeists coming. They told them they would never make it under the bridge and they tried turning the canoe sideways in an attempt to dock at the bridge. However, the canoe struck the bridge, flipped over and the couple disappeared under the bridge. The two were able to grab hold of objects and were eventually rescued. Belle Plaine and Blakeley residents experienced one- to twohour power outages on Friday, June 22. The outage was caused by high winds that day. The Belle Plaine Ambulance Association announced that it desperately needed new recruits. The group was down to just 25 active members and four of them lived out of town. “The association is short eight people and those of us who are left are getting burned out,” stated Ralph French. A Jordan man was indicted on a charge of second-degree assault by a Sibley County grand jury in a stabbing incident June 3 at the Belle Plaine boat landing. The victim, Paul Traxler, 22, of Belle Plaine, suffered superficial knife wounds in the chest and back. Shirley Hallgren of Belle Plaine and Marge Bush, formerly of Belle Plaine, along with Jane Hines of New Prague, opened an inn-keeping business in New Prague.

More farmers applied for loans with Farmers Home Administration in 1984 than any previous year, according to State Farm Director Russ Bjorhus. Farm-operating loans that mostly covered production expenses totalled $97 million by April of 1984 for an average loan of $43,000 per farm. Nancy Delgehausen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Delgehausen, left for France to spend seven days in Paris and one month in LaRochelle to study the French language and culture at the University. Jarrad Fenske, son of Ron and Esther Fenske, was one of nearly 200 of the nation’s most talented young musicians selected as a participant in the second annual St. Olaf College Summer Music Camp on the St. Olaf campus. Mrs. Herbert Anderson died at Emmanuel Nursing Home in Litchfield at the age of 81 years. Agda Evelyn was born March 1, 1903 in Minneapolis to Swedish immigrants, John and Alma Lieberg. On June 23, 1926, she married Herbert Anderson. They moved to the family farm at West Union. She was active in all aspects of church work at West Union Lutheran Church. She also wrote a community news column for several local newspapers, the Belle Plaine Herald being one of them. Marvin H. Ische, age 62, died of a heart attack. He was the son of Arnold and Bertha Ische. He married Evelyn Born on Oct. 28, 1944. They lived in Hancock Township until moving to Waconia in 1982. The Belle Plaine town baseball team lost two league games that week – to Le Center 4-2 and Jordan 13-3. The Tigers were still tied with Chaska for the division lead with a record of 6-3.

A testimonial banquet was given in the school dining hall at Union Hill in honor of Joseph J. Busch, organist and choir director at Union Hill for 50 years. Mrs. William Tilalsky of Belle Plaine Township won second prize in the Scott County Pie Baking Contest.

Mr. Ross, the Presbyterian pastor, left on a trip to his old home in Montreal, and the church closed until his return in August. After much agitation, the borough council invested in a fire engine. The engine in use in Faribault was bought for $1,100, and a hose cart and hose was bought for $650. There was a railroad strike, and for a week no freight trains ran on this division of the Omaha. Local merchants did “teaming” to haul produce and get supplies from the city. J.H. Johnson was having a large brick-veneered double residence built on his farm at the boot of the Bengtson hill road.

Cologne City Council Raises Administrator’s Salary to Keep Him In the end, the Cologne City Council believes the quality of his work and passion and commitment to the community make City Administrator John Hendel worthy of the increase in his salary. In a special meeting Monday night (June 23), the council unanimously approved a new contract for Hendel that includes a $30,000 salary increase to keep him on the job. The additional money increases his annual salary to $100,000 effective immediately. The council’s commitment to Hendel came in the wake of him receiving a job offer promoting special events for a company in the agriculture industry. Hendel said the firm approached him and that he was not actively seeking a job elsewhere. “I am very grateful to the council that I can use my knowledge to continue to serving the residents of Cologne,” Hendel said Monday evening. The job would allow him to work at home frequently and would pay him $100,000 annually – $30,000 more than his annual salary as Cologne’s city administrator. Hendel let Mayor Matt Lein and Councilor Scott Williams – the city council’s personnel committee -- know of the offer he received and his plan to accept it after the June 16 council meeting. Lein said he couldn’t blame Hendel for taking the job in a field he knows well at a significant increase in income. Hendel and his wife Ann have two teenage children at home. Monday’s meeting came after a special meeting Thursday (June 19) where the Cologne City Council discussed its options and the potential cost and impact of replacing Hendel for an hour. Councilors ultimately unanimously approving offering Hendel a raise that would match the starting salary he would earn if he left the city’s employ. Lein said Hendel, who understands the city’s financial and wage compensation structure, never asked the council for a $30,000 raise and did not expect the council to match the offer he received. The council hired Hendel as its administrator in April of 2012. Monday’s (June 23) meeting was to approve a new employment contract, one that reflects Hendel’s new contract. It includes a six-month severance package and requires him to give the city six months’ notice if he decides to resign his position. Had Hendel opted for the private sector, the city council would spent Monday’s meeting discussing how it planned to find a new city administrator. The raise would put Hendel on par with counterparts on other area cities. Carver pays its city administrator $108,174. Glencoe’s city administrator earns just over $98,650. Norwood Young America’s city administrator’s salary is $85,825. Belle Plaine will pay its new city administrator depending on qualifications, up to $100,485. Lein has no problem justifying the raise. He said Hendel’s commitment to the city is unquestioned and that the city’s staff to a person wanted the council to keep Hendel in place. Hendel leads the city’s annual Firehouse Drive-in movie fund-raiser and is an ardent proponent of the city, the mayor said. “That’s where his drive and passion for the community come in,” Lein said. While the council was meeting Thursday (June 19), Hendel spent the evening working with

public works staff repairing a lift station. Hendel’s last job performance was excellent, the mayor said. “He received high marks across the board on everything,” Lein said. Lein gave Hendel for taking on projects -- like the public works building -- the previous administrator and city councils avoided. Hendel spent last weekend pondering his options. Friday (June 20), he expected it would be a long weekend, one filled with plenty of soul searching

the classic car roll-in Tuesday evenings during the summers. The annual Sauerkraut Days Tractor Ride through the country has been canceled due to the flooding. The rain coming down didn’t bother us too much before.We worried more about the river water coming up. But this 2014 flood has different concerns, mud coming down. The ground is so saturated and unstable. Our Scenic Byway neighbors Curt and Cindy Boelter’s home is one of the homes lost due to a mudslide behind. Needless to say, “Unbelievably devastating”. Cindy is on the Moore/Duane branch of our St. Thomas Tree, a granddaughter of Mildred Moore Engel and the daughter of Art and Ann Brenke. Curt is a brother of Tim Boelter, married to Mary Jo Burns Boelter. Mildred and Mary both grew up in the St .Thomas community. Other homes in Henderson area are being threatened. This temporary lakeshore property isn’t so exciting anymore. We are counting our blessings, however, we have running water and electricity, and a doe and her fawn are camping out/hiding in the tall grasses just feet from our front door. As I close, there goes Tom’s new truck tires floating north in the river. God Bless.

because he enjoys his job with the City of Cologne and believes he would have enjoyed his work promoting agriculture. He said the decision to stay was a result of support from citizens, city staff and the council. “I love what I’m doing here and when I heard staff wanted me to stay, I felt it was important for me to stay,” Hendel said. “This community has been a big support system for me and my family.” Hendel grew up in rural Minnesota and is familiar with the importance agriculture has on the state and region.

The Belle Plaine School Board approved 220-day contracts for the district’s three building principals, assistant principal and its facilities and grounds director. The contracts are in line with similar agreements the board OK’d for the district’s unionized teachers. The 220-day contracts for the building principals and assistant principals include a 2 percent wage hike in 2014-15 and 2Âź percent for 2015-16. Principals who earn a doctorate will receive a $3,000 annual stipend (up from $2,000). In addition to increases in benefits, the overall contract reflects a 6.77 percent increase, slightly more than the 6.55 percent overall increase the district negotiated with its 110-member teaches’ union. “We were just under the paraprofessionals and just over the license teachers. That’s kind of been our benchmark,â€? Superintendent Kelly Smith said of the settlement amounts. The principals and school board negotiators never actually met. They traded written proposals in April and counterproposals in May, Smith said. The 220-day agreement means the three principals will be paid

Superintendent’s Update

By Dr. Kelly Smith

At our school board meeting on Monday night, we recognized state tournament participants from our spring activities. It was great to have students who competed in the MN State High School League state tournaments this spring in girl’s golf, girl’s track, boy’s track and trap shooting join us at our meeting to be recognized. In addition, we recognized Shawn Anderson who recently placed fifth place in the MN State High School bass fishing tournament. I am excited about the number of students we have participating in activities throughout our system. It is well documented that participants in extra-curricular activities are leaders in our school buildings and that they perform better academically than those who are not participating. Thanks to our great coaches for bringing their passion for these activities to our students and encouraging all students to find their passion as well! I also reported to the school board that our buildings and grounds had survived the torrential rains fairly well. Other than a small sinkhole that appeared near our running track, all facilities appear to be in good shape. Unfortunately, that is not the case for many in the area including retired teacher and coach Randy Carlson. The Carlson family home near Henderson was destroyed by mudslides during the heavy rains last week. The home is a total loss and insurance will not cover damage caused by mudslides. I would like to take this opportunity to make everyone aware of several opportunities that have been made available to show their support to the Carlson family through donations: * For those in the Belle Plaine area, donations are being accepted at the State Bank of Belle Plaine. Simply drop off your donation at the bank and it will be deposited in the Carlson fund. If you are writing a check, please make it out to Randy & Terry Carlson Fund. * An online option has been set up through the GoFundMe website. Donations may be made through this website using credit cards. Please note that this site does subtract 5% from your donation for administrative costs. The website address is: http://www.gofundme.com/alh9t0 * Finally, preliminary work is being done to organize alumni basketball games for men & women to be held sometime in July. A benefit meal will be held in conjunction with the alumni game with all proceeds going to the Carlson family. Further information will be shared about this event as the details are firmed up. Let’s hope we get some extended dry weather to help everyone, including our area farmers, dry out from this very wet June. 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!

adults and children, serving as overnight hosts, preparation of snacks and activities or adults and children alike. Dennis Moriarty of OLP, said point-in-time studies indicated that at any one time in the two counties – among the most affluent in the state – there are 50 homeless families with as many as 90 children. Volunteers interested in working on the multi-church initiative should contact their respective church office. St. John Lutheran Church is located at 148 Chestnut Street S.

Belle Plaine’s Carlson Family Saw the Worst of the Storm (continued from page 1) for 28 years. He’ll continue to coach the girls’ varsity basketball team. Thursday, around 10 minutes before 10 a.m., Terry Carlson, Randy’s wife, and their daughter, Tanya, were upstairs at the house in Tyrone Township not far from Le Sueur. It was raining again and Terry was showing her daughter a photo she had just taken. Looking out the window, Terry saw mud and gravel sliding across the yard from the driveway. Then, it happened. “You feel movement and you just kind of freeze,” Terry Carlson said. The next thing she recalls was a snap of a tree south of the house and a crashing of trees and hillside as it slid into the house and through a 20 foot-by-8 foot section of dining room wall. The two women ran downstairs and saw the tree and tons of dirt and clay in the dining room. Stunned, they gathered their purses and car keys. Shock turned to terror when they smelled propane leaking from the tank adjacent to the house. Fearing the mix of gas fumes and damaged electrical wires or appliances could ignite an explosion, the two women fled for their lives. “We’re very lucky,” Terry Carlson said.

‘We’re Alive . . .’

The rain and unstable roads near the house made their tip into Henderson a perilous journey filled with poor vision, finding a passable road and dodging downed trees and branches. Terry called Randy, who was supervising open gym at Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School. Uncertain of the cell phone signal, she stressed, “We’re alive, but the house is gone” and for him to call 9-1-1 because of the mudslide. Randy Carlson didn’t have his cell phone with him while he was in the gym. When he got the call, he left the school in a blur. Because the roads between the Le Sueur Fire Station and Carlson’s house was “compromised,” Randy said Henderson firefighters responded to the call. By the time he and a sheriff’s deputy reached the house, they turned off the propane and

surveyed the damage.

Insurance Won’t Cover It

The Carlsons face the daunting task of paying for repairs to the house out-of-pocket because homeowner’s insurance won’t pay for damage caused by moving ground. The Carlsons have been allowed back in the house to retrieve their personal items and valuables. They are not allowed to go into the basement of the house. An inspection revealed a crack in its foundation. “They said it’s too dangerous,” Randy Carlson said. Randy grew up in town. Terry – her maiden name is Renneke -- grew up in the country. When they were married 34 years ago, Randy agreed they’d live in the country, a tranquil lifestyle he enjoys since they built the house in 2004 and moved there from a place they owned on Blakeley Trail. “We found the property and really liked it,” he said. “We thought we’d be here forever.” The decision whether or not to repair the house or move, Randy said, will come down to recommendations of three people – Tom Schultz, their builder; an excavator and a real estate agent. He’s not sure whether he wants the recommendation to go – rebuild or raze the house and start anew. “I don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said. “We’re in a holding pattern. It’s not going to be days, or weeks or months.” The Carlsons are trying to keep their spirits up. “There’s a lot of people who are worse off than we are,” Randy said. Friends, neighbors and supporters from the Belle Plaine and rural Le Sueur areas have offered help and support. The family is grateful to many people, from emergency responders to friends, family and supporters. The Carlsons are staying in a motel in Belle Plaine. They’ve received donations of food, gift cards and offers to help when needed. The assistance, he said, is humbling. “People are dropping off things, offering us help,” he said, “and you know you can never pay them back.”

Benefit Planned for Paul ‘Lumpy’ Lambrecht A fund-raising event will take place for the Paul “Lumpy” Lambrecht family on Sunday, July 13 from 2-6 p.m. at Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard (8251 Old Highway 169 Boulevard, Jordan). Paul was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer and is undergoing chemo and radiation treatments, which will be followed by surgery and more chemo treatments. The fund-raiser will include a

meal and beverages available for purchase. There will also be a silent auction and raffle, as well as face-painting and other kids’ activities. Paul, who will turn 49 on June 23, and his wife, Emily, have three children – Zach, 9, Teagan, 7, and Evy, 4. For more information or to contribute to the benefit, contact Sharon at 612-209-4345 or Vickie at 952-465-5816.

Best Zip Line in State is in Our Own Backyard Archery Range to Open Soon by Karen Swenson With barely a year under it’s belt ... zipper, the Henderson based Kerfoot Canopy Tours was voted by WCCO viewers as Minnesota’s Best Zip line. “Once we heard about it we were really excited to be in the race for the top zip line in the state,” said Lee Kerfoot, who, with his wife Eva, opened the course located along the Scenic Byway of Country Road Six in June of 2013. “We helped spread the word a little bit,” said Kerfoot. “I even told my father, who has a competitive course … a sister course … up at the Gunflint Lodge.” His parents, Bruce and Sue Kerfoot, owners of the Gunflint Lodge, built their zip line course, Towering Pines Canopy Tour, in 2012. “He had two full seasons under his belt, we were just coming up on our one year anniversary. His scenery is very different from ours with 300year-old white pines you zip off of ... and then you zip off a cliff and you are looking into Canada and into the boundary waters. That is pristine. Are we higher? Yes. Are we longer? Yes. But he has a beautiful course of his own. … It was a friendly competition in that we were both hoping for acknowledgment of the award, but it was collaborative in that we work together as well, for our season pass.” Yet is was Kerfoot Canopy Tours that received enough votes to be named Minnesota’s best. WCCO reached out to Kerfoot after the vote and filmed a seg-

ment that aired on Wednesday, June 11. The 14 zip line course has been well-received since their opening last year. Many of his clients have tried zip lining before, said Kerfoot, in the “exotic top-shelf locations: Costa Rica, Hawaii, Belise, places like that. The feedback they share with me is that our course holds up very favorably to those other courses.” There are a few notable zips on the course that riders identify as favorites. “We have a large tower that you zip off of twice. The first time you zip off the tower it’s fast. You can’t really see where you are going to end … it’s the tree canopy and the height and everything. It’s called Dragon’s Back. People like that, it’s very memorable.” The second zip off the tower is Kong; a 900 foot zip line, 175 feet up in the air. Another favorite is called Red Tail; a long zip of 1,200 feet, or 1/5 mile. “You have plenty of time to look around and enjoy it,” said Kerfoot. “There is one called Shoot-Out. You shoot out of the trees right into the field above the zip shack. You’re flying and you are going fast … it’s exciting and you are ready for it.” Celebrating his first anniversary, this month, Kerfoot acknowledges all who have worked to build such a notable course, from the course builders, to the staff and to those who educated the staff on the natural world around them. “We brought in someone local from Henderson named Art Straub. He did an amazing job with the information he shared; from the Ken-

Voted Minnesota’s Best Zip line, Kerfoot Canopy Tours was recognized by WCCO viewers. (Photo courtesy of Kerfoot Canopy Tours) tucky Coffee bean tree, which we have on our property to the birds. Just all sorts of plants and animals and vegetation.” Straub also taught the crew about the indigenous settlers to the area. “It has been such a wonderful educational process for ourselves, because he doesn’t just say ‘oh this is a tree.’ What is neat, and so interesting, is the story behind it. “That information we have really started to value and have spent a lot of time training our sky guides on that. I kept an outside expert coming in on a regular basis to educate ... one person on the history of the Minnesota River … the geology … someone who specializes in local history, etc. It’s been wonderful to learn the stories and also have another point of conversation with the guests besides the construction of the course, which people are

‘Andyman Classic’ a Baseball Tournament With a Message

The family and friends of Andy Hendel are gearing up for the inaugural “Andyman Baseball Classic” in memory of Hendel of Cologne. The three-day tournament is set for July 11-13. It will be based at Robert G. Fritz Memorial Field in Cologne, a place where Hendel loved playing organized and pickup games with his friends. Tournament games will also be held at baseball parks in Green Isle, Norwood Young America and Plato. The tournament started as a result of Andy Hendel’s teammates playing in the Highway 10 Baseball Classic in Perham, Minn. last summer. Youth baseball players in Cologne and their families determined a tournament in Cologne would be a way to keep Hendel’s memory alive and to share the message about teen suicide and mental health in teenagers. Andy Hendel died Jan. 22, 2012. He was 16. Tournament activities begin

Friday, July 11 with opening ceremonies in Cologne around 4 p.m. During the opening ceremony, Josh Hendel, Andy’s twin brother, will welcome the teams and kickoff the event with a message to all players. U-15 and U-18 teams will be playing a game or two Friday evening at parks in Cologne, Green Isle, Norwood and Young America. Saturday will be filled with several games throughout the day in Cologne, Green Isle, Norwood Young America and Plato. Championship games in U-15 and U-18 will take place Sunday in Cologne and Green Isle. Each field the teams will be playing on was chosen because they were places Andy played, said Anne and John Hendel, Andy’s parents. An open tournament without league affiliation, teams are encouraged to contact Anne or John Hendel at jhendel405@ gmail.com or call (952) 380-

8064 for registration information. Registration is limited to eight teams in each age group. There is still room for one or two more teams in each age bracket. Tournament play will feature pool play, allowing every team to play a minimum of three games. In addition to three days of baseball, volunteers at the “Andyman Classic” will also be serving a free lunch to all team members, family, friends and anyone else in attendance Saturday in Cologne. The lunch will include speaker Jacob Mars who will talk to the players and families about suicide and how it has affected his life. Others will be onsite to talk with attendees if they have questions. The event is being held to raise money to give back to local schools and organizations to assist in educating young adults about suicide prevention and mental health.

always curious about.” “We are just really proud of all of our team. They are out there doing it everyday. … Without them we wouldn’t have been able to be recognized for this, so we are really proud of the effort they put in.” Collin Begley had been the course manager from the start and Anna Mae Van Dien, from Belle Plaine, has moved from a sky guide to the assistant manager. Due to the demand, a crew of 15 sky guides will increase to 22, if the seven new recruits pass the test. “We are cautiously optimistic going into the second year,” said Kerfoot.

River City Days’ 5K Run to Benefit SVABW All profits from the Chaska River City Days 5K run Saturday, July 26, will go to Belle Plaine-based Southern Valley Alliance for Battered Women. The race begins and ends in Chaska’s historic downtown City Square Park. Registration for the run is at 7 a.m. Last year, a few hundred runners helped raise about $1,000 for SVABW. “I tip my hat to the Chaska area chiropractors for holding such a great benefit for Southern Valley Alliance. We really appreciate it. The money goes directly to victims of domestic abuse,” said Mary Ann Bigaouette, Southern Valley Alliance’s executive director. The alliance is a non-profit organization that has assisted over 17,000 victims of domestic abuse in Scott and Carver counties.

Some unforeseen delays prevented the Belle Plaine Archery Range from opening at its targeted time last fall. The delay has now carried over well into 2014 but Belle Plaine Community Development Director Chelsea Alger reported last week that the range could be operational soon. She said that Wyatt Hermann, a local Boy Scout, has received final approval for his Eagle Scout project, which is construction of the archery target frames. “Staff would anticipate holding a dedication during the July park board meeting, assuming everything is ready to go,” Alger reported. The city’s hope of having the range open last fall took a step back with City Administrator David Murphy’s termination. He was leading the in-house

planner for creating the range. The city and Scott County last year worked on the creation of a public archery range. The county board had approved the city’s request to use just under two acres of the 24 acres the county owns on County Road 6 (Union Trail/the Blakeley road) just beyond Belle Plaine city limits. The city expects the range will suit an array of people, from the casual archer to the skilled and experienced bow hunter. The city last year allocated about $1,500 for the creation of the facility, money intended for targets and other equipment. Alger also reported last week that the Disc Golf Course the council approved creation of earlier this year may be opening soon as well. She said the course has been laid out and the baskets have been ordered.

County Officials Urge Caution on Area Lakes Scott County officials are asking the public to be attentive to the signage that is being posted at Spring Lake, O’Dowd Lake, Fish Lake and Cedar Lake, which advise great caution in accessing and using the water during this extreme high-water situation. “It’s not just a matter of protecting the public and private property along the shorelines, it’s a matter of public safety,” said Scott County Chief Deputy Dean Opatz. “Recent heavy rains and flooding have caused a substantial amount of debris to wash into these (and other) lakes, and do pose significant hazards to boaters and other watercrafters.” Chief Deputy Opatz’s concerns were echoed by Paul Nelson, Natural Resource Program manager, who noted that nowake limits are already in effect on Prior Lake, among others. “Boat wakes cause damage and erosion along the shore-

line,” he said. “And this kind of environmental degradation can cause major problems for the entire area.” Given the severity of the flooding throughout the county, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has given the local government provisional authority to enforce additional no-wake zones as deemed necessary. “We will have additional water patrol on all of these affected lakes to advise boaters and recreational users of the dangers,” Opatz said. “We hope that all we will need to do is encourage responsible watercraft usage and not have to engage in rescue operations.” For additional information on no-wake ordinances and advisories, contact the Scott County Sheriff’s Office at 952-4967750. For more information about the environmental conditions of the area lakes, contact Paul Nelson at 952-496-8054.

Arlington Council Ponders Later City Bar Closing Time Hoping to help the bottom lines of taverns and other establishments that serve alcohol, the Arlington City Council is moving toward allowing a 2 a.m. closing time. Matt Carney, owner of Arlington Dugout, recently asked the council for the change from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. He said the increased hour would also help cover the additional cost of the new license at Arlington Community Center.

The Arlington Enterprise reported city councilors raised concerns over the potential impact the additional hour could have on city police and also people hustling into town for last call. Councilors agreed the establishments would have to have all liquor off the bars at 2 a.m. with patrons leaving at that time. Belle Plaine has allowed 2 a.m. bar closing since September of 2003. at

by Brett Kruschke, Matt and Mike Schultz The Tigers finally tasted defeat in RVL action on Sunday and it was an awful lot like sauerkraut, dropping a 2-0 decision at Henderson. Preceded by a 7-5 win over Le Sueur on Wednesday and a cancellation by Cologne on Friday, the Tigers now sit at 4-1 in RVL Central play and 6-10 overall. The Tigers will host perhaps the RVL’s most improved team on Friday when St. Peter arrives for a 7:30 p.m. affair. The 11-2 Saints are fresh off winning last weekend’s Miller High Life Invite in Arlington and Gaylord. Friday will also be Coborn’s Night; they will have gift certificate drawings for folks who bring a non-perishable food item and/or a cash donation to the Belle Plaine Food Shelf. They will also give away some T-shirts and there might even be a mascot appearance. Sunday will be a unique and busy day at Tiger Park, the duration of which there will be no admission charged. Four games are on tap and all will be against Jordan rivals: the 15-year-old team will play at noon, the Junior Legion at 2:30 p.m., the Legion squad at 5 p.m. and the town team Tigers and Brewers will cap the day at 7:30 p.m. It will also be Matt Saxe Chevrolet Buick Night, so get ready for some giveaways. And finally, BPBA board member Ken Tritz will be whooping up his regionally-famous pulled pork sandwiches. Tigers 7, Le Sueur 5 The Braves came to town for a rescheduled midweek game and it was a nice night for baseball. Belle Plaine was a bit short on players but had some young bucks step up and play well. The Tigers got things going first when Matt Schultz hit a

one-out triple and Jake Fiedler promptly hit him in to take a 1-0 lead. Fiedler got the start on the mound and wasn’t his usual sharp self, surrendering five runs over three innings and leaving with Belle Plaine down four. August Farruggia came in and threw the rest of the game without giving up a run, pushing his consecutive scoreless innings streak to 12. The Tigers battled back to go into the seventh tied at five when Dan Huber came up and crushed his first dinger of the year – a solo shot to give the Tigers the lead. One more run in the eighth was more than enough for Farruggia and he shut down the Braves to earn the victory. Team Tigertown ended with eight hits on the day, with Zach Juaire and Matt Schultz each collecting two. Huber’s home run, meanwhile, matched him with Pat Schultz for the team lead this season. Henderson 2, Tigers 0 After a come-from-behind win on Wednesday, the Tigers headed to Henderson Sunday hoping to finish the week with two league wins. Belle Plaine sent stout lefty Zac Dahlke to the mound against Henderson starter Matt Peot, and the BP lads ended up on the wrong side of a quickly-played pitchers’ duel. Dahlke was sharp, going five innings and allowing two runs (one earned). But Peot was even better, getting the complete-game win, giving up zero runs and four hits. Dan Huber finished the game on the mound for the Tigers, throwing three scoreless innings. Belle Plaine struggled mightily offensively, with all four hits being singles. The Tigers threatened in the second inning with runners on first and second and

only one gone but couldn’t get a timely hit and stranded both runners. That was as close as Tigertown would get to mounting any kind of offense as Peot kept the bats quiet the rest of the way. Huber, Matt Schultz, Brad Lawson and Shawn Larson collected Belle Plaine’s hits. On a positive note, it was a great day for a baseball game, it didn’t rain, and Henderson had a really good homemade pickle relish at their concession stand. Also, there was a pretty good fan turnout that benefitted two Henderson players, Cody and Cole Boelter, who lost their house in a mudslide during the heavy rains last week. 2014 Town Tigers Schedule May 2 vs. St. Ben.

Gray Tigers Improve to 4-0 The Belle Plaine Gray Tigers over 35 baseball team has won three more games against Bloomington, Jordan Millers and Northfield to improve to 4-0 on the season. The Tigers played Bloomington to a 7-6 win. They sent Terry Knop to the hill seeking his second win of the season. The Tigers opened the scoring in the third with base hits by Phil Wulf, Dave Kreft and Mike Zellmann to bring home their first run. It would be a very tight game until the fifth when the Tigers scored two on a double by Jeff Fahey and single by Mike Tracy, bringing up the veteran Greek Wagner, who laced one to short but the shortstop threw the ball away scoring both runners. Both pitchers struggled in the sixth and seventh and each gave up some unearned runs. The Tigers would have to make a comeback in the bottom of the seventh with three runs on base hits by Kreft and Zellmann, followed by a big double by Eric Burgemeister to the left field fence to score two. Jeff Fahey would come up with the walk-off sacrifice fly to drive in Burgemeister to win the game in the seventh. The Tigers next took on the rival Jordan Millers with Terry Knop again on the hill looking for win number three. The Tigers opened the scoring with one in the first on a base hit by Kreft and walks to Zellmann and Knop and a fielder’s choice by Burgemeister. Both pitchers

would control the game, yielding but two hits apiece and both of the Tigers’ came from Kreft. The Grays manufactured their game-winning run in the fourth on a hit batsmen by Kreft and walk to Zellmann and another double by Burgemeister to drive in the game winner. The Tigers played Northfield with a new guy on the hill, Brett Kruschke. He cruised through four innings, only giving up

one run on three hits. He was relieved by Mike Weller to get the save. The Tigers waited until the sixth to open the scoring with a base hit by Zellmann, a walk to Knop and a single by Jeff Fahey. But the Tigers would have to go to the 8th to get a 2-1 win with hits by Kreft and Zellmann to bring Knop to the plate and he drove in the final run in extra innings.

Shadd Gutzke, his children and their friends, watched rainwaters that filled South Maple Street Thursday morning lap up against his yard. Gutzke joked with his mom, Linda, about owning lakefront property. Earlier in the day, she had purchased him a sump pump he never expected to need.

Henderson Tractor Ride Cancelled Due to flooded roads across the area, the annual Henderson Tractor Ride has been cancelled. It was scheduled to be held this Saturday in conjunction with Henderson’s Sauerkraut Days, for which most events are still on.

Flooding Gave Maple Street Residents a Chuckle, a Scare It was kind of fun at first, the flood waters Thursday morning (June 19) turning Maple Street on the south side of Highway 169 into a pond where residents could break out the inner tubes. But the fun didn’t last for long. “It was clear water at first, then after 20 minutes it was really dirty and gross,” Kris Finger said. After the water started to rescind later that afternoon, Finger found residue from the city’s sewer system on her driveway. Up the street, a portpotty in a park was on its side,

its contents contaminating the floodwaters. The city received about 7 inches of rain Thursday. What made it worse was the ground was at or near saturation from rainfalls earlier in the week when the downpour began. Finger and her neighbor across the street, Shadd Gutzke, were checking their basements for flooding. Once her children were out

The flag-lined walking path through Veterans Park came to an abrupt end, unless you were willing to wade into floodwaters.

Low points and saturated ground allowed water to collect in levels never imagined, turning backyards into ponds last Thursday.
