NUMBER 23

Class of 2015 Set to Commence

Peter and Allison Jacobson and their family are leaving their jobs with the Belle Plaine School District to teach in an American school in India.

B.P.’s Jacobsons Headed to a Different World to Teach, Learn Teachers, Parents Prepare for Life in India

They are at a point in their lives when it’s time to put their children and each other first. The next performance will be on the other side of the world. But for Allison and Peter Jacobson, they aren’t telling their friends goodbye, but rather, they’ll see them later.

The Jacobsons are leaving Belle Plaine for teaching positions at an American International School in Chennai, India. Allison will teach English as an additional language to elementary-schoolers. Peter will teach media science. Earlier this year, the Belle Plaine School Board OK’d a five-year leave of absence for the couple. They are required to notify the school district early in the calendar year if they plan to return for the following year. The Jacobsons have been in Belle Plaine since the 2004-05

school year. They came from Blooming Prairie, Minn. and needed little time fitting in to the community. Allison is a high school English teacher. Peter taught English and media studies for most of his tenure in Belle Plaine and until last year worked with the school’s budding technology initiative. He is, in the words of Superintendent Kelly Smith, one of the district’s “early adopters.” Allison Jacobson is well

Engineer Reports to Council That Overpass Plans Are Progressing In the Belle Plaine City Council’s packet Monday night was an update from City Engineer Joe Duncan on the planning process for the proposed start of construction this fall of the bridge over Highway 169 near the intersection of Country Road 3/Meridian Street. Duncan stated that the final design work is nearing completion and the layout drawing has been reviewed and approved by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT). Duncan added that Mn/DOT has concluded that the there be a full removal of the left turnins on Highway 169, while the right turn-ins will remain mostly as they currently exist with only a few modifications to coincide with the removal of the left turn-ins. Duncan said the overpass plans will also be submitted to

Scott County for the approval of the components associated with County Road 3. In other business Monday night, the council unanimously awarded the contract for site preparation at 702 South Meridian Street to Chard Tiling and Excavating at the low bid of $7,800. In November, the council okayed a purchase agreement with Eric and Lisa May for the acquisition of their home at 702 South Meridian Street for $277,000 for replacement housing and relocation costs. The property is part of the right-ofway for the bridge project. The city has opted to let the fire department burn down the home as part of a training exercise, which is scheduled to occur in September. Once the house is burned, the debris and basement will have to be re-

Belle Plaine Girl Scouts Hosting Hair Donation Event The Belle Plaine Girl Scout Service Unit is hosting a hair donation event at Oak Crest Elementary School Saturday, June 6, to benefit the non-profit organization, Children With Hair Loss (CWHL). The event will run from 3 to 5 p.m. Organizers are hoping for 100 or more people to donate eight inches or more of hair. Stylists are donating their time for the event. Photographers will be available to take beforeand-after pictures, a face painter, balloon animals, and other fun activities will be available. Belle Plaine Girl Scouts lead-

ers selected CWHL because they don’t charge families for wigs. However, they also provide wigs for children up to the age of 21, they treat all childhood hair loss; whether its due to an illness, or other life altering disease, they accept a minimum of eight inches of hair, and they accept color treated, permed, highlighted, or grey hair. CWHL opened in September of 2000. CWHL’s mission and goals are to never charge a fam-

City Administrator Holly Kreft reported that following the floods of last June, the South Creek Drainage Way project was identified as a mitigation project to minimize future flooding and impacts to private property. Kreft added that a small portion of the pond north of Orchard Street was found to have slightly elevated levels of arsenic, requiring the dredged material (about 200 cubic yards) to be placed in a landfill. FEMA has awarded the city the necessary funding for the project and will also reimburse engineering costs. *Unanimously accepted the resignation of part-time police officer Allison Barrineau, who has accepted a full-time position with a private company in Vancouver, Wash. *Unanimously accepted the donation of an automated external defibrillator valued at $1,900 from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community to be used by the BPPD. *Unanimously approved large assembly and street closure permits for the Belle Plaine

by Dan Ruud Just weeks after the first day of kindergarten in 2002, the Belle Plaine High School class of 2015 would be forever impacted by the results of what was Belle Plaine’s largest voter turnout ever up to that time, which included a $36 millionplus school building bond referendum. Despite a long and hard campaign by the school district and members of the Facilities Improvement Task Force, all three questions of the referendum failed, the biggest being what would have provided $36 million to build and equip a new grades 7-12 high school. It failed by a vote of 1,478 yes to 1,654 no. Eventually, voters did approve a revamped referendum that provided the district with the funding to “expand” the existing high school and build a “second” elementary school to house grades 3-6. The school would become known as Oak Crest Elementary School and the class of 2015 occupied the school (as fifth-graders) when it opened in 2007. So, the class of 2015 did benefit from a spacious new building for its final two years of elementary school and an expanded building for its junior and senior high years. On the first day of school in 2002 (Sept. 3), the BPHS volleyball team, led by Cassie Wolpern and Anna Huls, swept Waconia in the season opener at the BPHS gym. Wolpern went on to break the “national” high school volleyball record for career kills later that month in Apple Valley. Not that many class of 2015 members stayed up to watch, or cared to, but the second night of their first week in kindergarten was when Kelly Clarkson won the First American Idol contest

to become known as The Original American Idol. Over 90 members of the class of 2015 are set to receive their diplomas at Sunday’s 2 p.m. ceremony in the school’s south gymnasium. Principal Dave Kreft will welcome the class and the choir will perform “Homegrown” by the Zac Brown Band. Rylee Pumper will be the student speaker. Her speech is called “Class of 2015: Writing Our Stories.” Allison Jacobson will be the staff speaker with the title of her speech being “The Things They Carried.” Belle Plaine Dollars for Scholars President Tricia Ruud will recognize this year’s scholarship recipients. School Super-

intendent Dr. Kelly Smith will present the class and School Board Chair Mike Ludvik will hand out the diplomas. The ceremony will close with the song “Anchors Aweigh.” The school had not yet publicly announced who this year’s high honor and honor students are when this edition of the Herald went to press Tuesday. The class officers for 2014-15 are President Maxwell Hughes, Vice President Alyssa Meierbachtol, Treasurer Anthony Lovejoy and Secretary Katelyn Schmit. The class song is “I Lived” by

B.P. School Board, Teacher’s Union Open Contract Talks With the level of its funding from the state during the next two years still uncertain and the board strongly considering an excess levy referendum this fall, the Belle Plaine School Board and the school district’s teacher’s union opened talks on a new two-year contract Monday (June 1) evening. The brief meeting gave both sides the opportunity to get together and exchange preliminary issues for discussion. They addressed some technical language details of the existing contract. Once ratified by the union’s rank-and-file and approved by the school board, the two-year contract (2015-16 and 2016-17) will address working conditions, the number of days teach-

ers will work, compensation and other “terms and conditions of employment,” said Superintendent Kelly Smith. Compensation (salary and benefits) for the BPEA amounts to 52 percent of the district’s $15.3 million general fund budget this year. Support staff union members earn 10.8 percent of the money in the general fund, Smith said. Talks between the school board (represented by directors Matt Lenz, Mike Ludvik, Dan Giesen and Smith) and the teachers (represented by negotiators Luke Audette, Mary Beth Rauh and Rose Simones) will continue Mondays June 29

Sun About to Set on Meuleners’ Long High School Career, But Will Soon Rise in North Dakota by Dan Ruud Janessa Meuleners has covered a lot of ground in her six years as a Belle Plaine junior and senior high school student. That ground has included long gallops through golf courses, fields, prairies, woods and paved oval tracks, in conditions ranging from frosty to sultry. Meuleners, who graduates this Sunday, has been a member of the BPHS “varsity” girls’ cross country and track and field teams since seventh grade. In the process, she has become one of the school’s most decorated athletes of all time, earning all-conference honors in cross country all six years, including three conference championships, and qualifying for the state meet each year. She’s also qualified for state multiple times in track and field. Meuleners’ runs through the years have taken her from the ponds and agricultural fields of serene courses such as Ney Nature Center in Henderson to a stone throw away from the hustle and bustle of St. Paul’s Snelling Avenue. It will be the latter that Meuleners will wrap up her long high school running career at this Friday’s and Saturday’s state Class 1A track and field meet at Klas Field on the campus of Hamline University (next to Snelling). At this past Saturday’s section meet in Mankato, Meuleners qualified for state in three events. She won the 800-meter run and anchored the victori-

ous 4x800-meter relay team. in the Blakeley area, said her She will also compete at state most memorable cross country in the 4x400-meter relay, which Meuleners placed second at section. (continued on page 2) Meuleners, who lives on a farm

Belle Plaine High School senior Janessa Meuleners signed a letter of intent last fall to run cross country and track and field at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. Meuleners is pictured with her parents, Rob and Renee Meuleners.

Swimming Pool Opens Friday The Belle Plaine Community Swimming Pool is scheduled to open this Friday at 1 p.m. Season pool passes can be purchased for $60 ($125 for the family) at Belle Plaine City Hall, which is open extended hours through Thursday this week to accommodate buyers (see pool add inside this edition

of the Herald). There will be 2015 Pool Kick-Off Party, sponsored by Belle Plaine Festivals and Events, this Thursday from 5-7:30 p.m. There will be an inflatable water slide and more. The pool itself will not be open for this event, which is open to the public.

A Generous Donation The Belle Plaine Rotary Club hosted a pancake breakfast in March and earmarked the proceeds to benefit the Belle Plaine Food Shelf and displaced residents of Cardinal Ridge. The Rotary Club presented a $1,200 check to the food shelf at its May 27 meeting. Proceeds from the B.P. Rotary Club’s annual pancake breakfast, along with supplemental funding provided by the Southern Dakota-Scott County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, were used made the donation possible.

Scott County Planning Commission to Review Cell Tower Proposal on Sue & Brad Schultz’s Property Scott County’s planning commission will take a look at a proposal to build a 134-foot monopole cellular tower along Highway 169 in St. Lawrence Township Monday (June 8, 6:30 p.m.) at the Scott County Government Center in Shakopee. The planning commission will address a request from Verizon Wireless to build a tower and equipment shelter within a 75by-75 foot leased land area at 21385 Highway 169 owned by Sue and Brad Schultz. Aiming to improve the consistency of its service in a more rural area, Verizon Wireless is looking to build a 125-foot

monopole tower (plus a 9-foot tall lightning rod) along Highway 169 just outside of Belle Plaine. County zoning ordinance caps a cell tower at 150 feet. Beyond 150 feet, a conditional-use permit is required for the tower to be built. The tower will be on land within the 10-acre farmstead on the northeast corner of the Schultz’s property. It will be gray in color, made of a noncorrosive metal. The support building will be 12-by-30 feet. Scott County staff is recommending conditional approval of the Verizon Wireless tower. The proposal comes with the

approval of the St. Lawrence Township Board of Supervisors. It supports the proposed tower as long as the rights of the neighboring grass airstrip are not violated, according to Ted Kornder, the town board’s chairman. The planning commission will also conduct public hearings at the Monday meeting on a proposed addition to Lydia Zion United Methodist Church in Spring Lake Township and a rezoning of land in New Market Township. The rezoning, if approved, will allow the development of 19 residential lots on 70.62 acres.

Now and Then Janessa Meuleners (No. 1) is pictured above on her way to winning the MRC track and field championship in both the 800- and 1,600-meter runs on May 15 in Montgomery. At right is Meuleners, then a seventh-grader, competing in the 2009 MRC Cross Country meet in Henderson. She placed fourth in the race, which earned her the first of what would become six all-conference honors. She claimed three conference cross country championships, those coming in 2011, 2012 and 2014. Meuleners will run her final high school races at this Friday’s and Saturday’s state Class 1A track and field meet in St. Paul. She graduates on Sunday.

race was placing fourth at state last fall. The feat took place at St. Olaf College in Northfield, the site of Meuleners’ first 4K race for BPHS back in the fall of 2009. Her fastest 4K time ever came in 2012, when she won the second of her three conference championships in 14:39. As for her most memorable moment in track and field, Meuleners said it’s probably when she was in eighth grade competing in the 2011 section meet, during which she qualified for her first track and field state meet by edging Cheyanne Bowers of St. James in the 3,200-meter run by barely a step (11:39.35 to 11:39.55). Meuleners’ time was a school record. In 2012, Bowers signed a letter of intent to run cross country and track and field for South Dakota State University. Meuleners, who is about 5 feet, 3 inches tall, said she has probably had to work a little harder over the years than many of the runners with longer strides. “I just push myself harder and take the longest strides possible to make up for it,” said Meuleners, adding that she normally runs some 30 to 40 miles per week. Meuleners said an athlete she has always looked up to is the late Steve Prefontaine. He was an American middle- and longdistance runner who competed in the 1972 Olympics. Prefontaine once held the American record in seven different distance track events from the 2,000 meters to the 10,000 meters. He died in an auto accident in 1975 at the age of 24. Meuleners opted not to compete in the 3,200 run this postseason, a distance she has experienced most of her track success in through the years. For sections this year, she opted instead for the middle distances and long sprints, most notably the 800-meter run and 4x800 and 4x400 relays, all of which she advanced to state in. When asked if she has any pre-race rituals, Meuleners said she sleeps on the bus to almost every race. Once she gets to the starting line, she makes sure she’s wearing her blue headband. Unlike many runners she competes against, Meuleners in recent years has worn colorful sunglasses (see now and then photos accompanying this article). But she doesn’t attribute all her running success to prerace naps, headbands and fancy

shades. “My coaches (Steve Schroeder, Rich Foust and Brad Peterson) have helped me so much,” Meuleners said. “They have always been there for me.” Her coaches were glad to have her. “Janessa came on as an enthusiastic seventh-grader and just kept coming,” said Belle Plaine cross country coach Steve Schroeder. “She is one of those rare talents that backs it up with hard work and true study of the sport. Janessa has a thoroughbred mentality that is usually affective. As far as a team member, you couldn’t ask for a better one. She was running with the incoming seventh-graders every summer and making it fun for them; then going out afterward to run her own workout to ensure her teammates could count on her. “It will be strange perhaps not having that front-runner on the team but her work ethic and enthusiasm have made an impact on the rest of the team and they, like her, will persevere,” Schroeder continued. Foust also praised Meuleners. “Janessa has been a significant contributor to the track team for six years. This season, she has asserted herself as a leader of the team and is running with much confidence. During her races, she has a big smile on her face and she is really enjoying the moment.” After Saturday, all that will be left for Meuleners to do at BPHS is to participate with her classmates in Sunday’s commencement ceremony. Although the sun is about to set on her high school career, Meuleners still has plenty of snoozes on buses and races ahead of her. She will attend the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks starting this fall, where she will compete in cross country in the fall, indoor track and field in the winter and outdoor track and field in the spring.

Ground to Air

While at UND, Meuleners will be doing much more than just running. She plans to mix her ground talents with pursuing a career in aviation. She said she wants to become a commercial pilot and/or pilot of unmanned crafts, such a drones. “I went to UND for a college visit and they talked about the program and I got real interested in it (aviation),” said Meuleners, who has been a honor student throughout her junior and senior high years.

by Janet Roper If you have never watched a horse, you might be astounded at how sensitive they are for such large creatures. They are able to feel a bug that is simply hovering above them and their big lips are able to forage their favorite pellets out of a bucket filled with different feed. Not only are they sensitive, as prey animals they are always aware of what’s happening around them. They keep tabs on us humans, ever vigilant of our body language, the look we have in our eyes and our intentions when we approach them. I know this about horses; my horse has trained me well. So it came as no surprise to me to learn that horses are quite receptive to the practice of Reiki. Not customarily taught in Western traditional veterinary schools, Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing in both humans and animals. As a matter of fact, animals are often more open to receiving it than humans. Belle Plaine resident and Reiki Master/Teacher David Thomas

It is up to the individual to decide when to begin receiving Social Security beneďŹ ts. A person can take a reduced beneďŹ t as early as age 62. Or, a former employee can claim a full beneďŹ t at what the Social Security Administration considers to be full retirement age, which, for example, is 66 for anyone born between 1943 and 1954. Otherwise, a person can wait until age 70 for yet a larger beneďŹ t. Bear in mind that, once you elect to receive a reduced beneďŹ t, you remain at that level for the rest of your life (with normal cost-of-living increases). The longer you are apt to live, the more you beneďŹ t from waiting for the larger check. The current generation of retirees is more likely than the last generation to have active retirement years ďŹ lled with a mix of travel, sports, and education. How will you spend your retirement years, and how can you fund those years? Social Security may ďŹ ll only a limited amount of your ďŹ nancial demands.

The session lasted about an hour, and afterwards Manny was led back to his stall to rest and to allow the Reiki to continue to soak into his body. There are numerous reasons horse owners turn to Reiki practitioners for help with their horses. Reiki can help reduce stress, increase energy levels, provide relief from pain and soothe highly strung, hypersensitive animals. While Reiki is not the same as massage, it may help you to think of it as having some of the same beneficial results that a good massage will give you. Reiki for animals is not exclusive to only horses. Pets of all kind can benefit from a Reiki session. Reiki is not intended as a replacement for qualified veterinary care for your horse, but rather as a complement. When Reiki is used in combination with traditional veterinary care, your horse’s chances for optimal health and well being are maximized.

offers classes in Reiki. I had enrolled in his Level II class that covers, in part, animals and Reiki. Part of the class included a visit to Belle Cheval Training and Boarding, run by Karen Bessel. There class members were able to practice Reiki on selected horses. My equine partner was Manny, a 7 year old black Morgan stallion. Before being rescued as a 3 year old, he had been thrown into a herd of stallions, starved, had objects hurled at him and as Bessel says, he was ‘3-legged lame.’ Under Bessel’s tutelage and training, Manny has come a long way. Even so, when the class walked into his barn, Manny pinned his ears and prepared to execute a threatening kick. Reiki is a gentle practice and does not harm the animals. I worked on Manny in the cross ties; once he got used to me, he would position himself under my hands. At times, I stepped away from Manny to give him some time to soak in the restorative energy. Manny consistently extended his foreleg towards

Commissioner Michael Beard of Shakopee credited Shelton for his leadership running Scott County. The former state representative from Shakopee noted Scott County made prudent funding requests of state lawmakers and was known within the state capitol as one of Minnesota’s best-run counties. Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township, Belle Plaine’s representative on the county board, opposed the size of the salary increase.

Thirty Years Ago This Week 60 Years Ago (1955)

Generations of Doctors Dr. Herman M. Juergens, left, who practiced medicine in Belle Plaine for 56 years, was pictured in 1985 with Dr. Timothy Halloran, who Juergens had delivered 31 years previous. Halloran had on occasion treated Dr. Juergens in turn. According to a report by the Citizens League, Belle Plaine ranked lowest in taxes on an average-priced home in any city with a population of 2,500 or more in the metropolitan area. Belle Plaine was 95th among 95 communities with a tax of $421 on an average-valued home of $55,449. The city of North Oaks, where former presidential candidate Walter Mondale had a home, ranked first in the survey with an averaged-priced home valued at $199,893 and an estimated property tax of $3,940. There was a fresh groundswell of support among city and community leaders in getting metro line telephone service in Belle Plaine. A meeting with the Department of Public Service and possibly Central Minnesota Telephone Company was planned for June 18 at the Civic Center. The Belle Plaine City Council that Monday night ordered the bituminous surfacing of South Street from Oakwood Drive to the city limits at a cost of $33,235, which did not include curb and gutter. The city council that Monday night also approved the return to a four-man police department after Police Chief Joe Lenz said the incidence of burglaries had increased from zero to 13 during a three-month trial period of using a part-time officer. Mark Hartmann would be hired to full-time status at a starting salary of $17,740. Other fulltime officers were Lenz, Steve Rost and Jim Johnson. The Belle Plaine School Board accepted the resignation of firstgrade teacher Becky Lipp, who started teaching at the school in 1970 and had been on a longterm leave-of-absence since the end of fall semester in 1981. The Belle Plaine School administration planned to make a special effort over the next few weeks to explain to the public the specifics of the June 20 referendum to be decided by voters. Up for vote was a 4 mill referendum, which if approved would raise $124,440 that school officials said was needed to continue all the educational programs the district

The State Bank of Belle Plaine would be distributing 1,000 Frisbees with “Stranger Danger” printed on them. Olga E. Hene, 72, of Belle Plaine, passed away May 30 at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park. Mrs. Hene was born Feb. 26, 1913 in Norwood to Arnold and Bertha (Proehl) Ische. She married Harold Hene on Sept. 10, 1936. Sister Rosemary Kelly, 93, died May 26 after a short illness.

She taught in schools in Minnesota, Montana and the Dakotas. Donald H. Molitor, 66, of Farmington, passed away on May 31. He was a former Belle Plaine businessman, having operated a hardware store here after World War II until 1955, when he sold the business to William Steffen. The Belle Plaine Community Swimming Pool was scheduled to open June 7 with Melanie Martin as manager. The listed lifeguards were Mike Daly, Molly Daly, Joe Edberg, Sally Halbmeier, Sheral Kahle, Kathy Koepp, Mary Leonard, Troy Martin, Sharon Meger, Judy Miller and Margy Schmit.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, Blakeley Township, celebrated its 100th anniversary of organization. It was in 1855 when the first pioneers came from Hanover, Mecklenburg and Pomerania, Germany and settled in “The Big Woods.” John E. Effertz died at his home in Faxon Township after a long illness. He was 60 years old. Mary Margaret Burns, daughter of Mrs. Ann Burns and the late George Burns, and Joseph Ecker of South St. Paul were married at St. John’s Catholic Church in St. Paul. Joseph S. Melchior died in a hospital in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, after a long illness. He was 64 years old. Lois Kochlin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Kochlin of Jordan, became the bride of Stanley Dahlke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Dahlke of east of Belle Plaine. The remains of Mrs. Tom Dyer arrived here by train from Omaha, Neb., for burial in Sacred Heart Cemetery. Roger J. Hessian graduated from Nazareth Hall, completing his high school and two years of college. John Madden, one of the oldest residents of this locality, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Margaret Carroll, in Arlington. He attained the age of 95. A graduation and farewell party for John Savage was held at the home of his brother, Leo Savage. John graduated from Jordan High School and was to leave for the Great Lakes to begin his enlistment in the Navy. About 500 persons were present at St. John’s Lutheran Church for the ordination of Robert H. Herder. Pastor O.F. Herder, father of Robert, preached the ordination sermon. Rev. Thomas Coleman, a grandson of the late Mr. and Mrs. M.C. O’Neill, formerly of Belle Plaine, was ordained at St. Cloud. Mr. and Mrs. E.J. Sass arrived back from Arlington, Wash., where they had made their home for six months. Lorenze E. Mellgren, son of Mrs. Elphie Mellgren and the late John A. Mellgren of East Union, was ordained into the holy ministry of the Augustana Lutheran Church. Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Schultz observed their golden wedding with an open house at the St. John’s Lutheran Church parlors. Maureen Moriarty was chosen Miss Mankato princess for 1955. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice E. Moriarty, she was a student at Mankato Teachers College. Virginia Ann Lenzen, daughter of William Lenzen of Chaska, became the bride of Leslie P. Bessel, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Bessel of Belle Plaine. Edward J. Dwyer, 59, formerly of Green Isle and known to many in this community, died in Minneapolis.

90 Years Ago (1925)

The DeSoto creamery and produce company of Minneapolis was opening a cash-and-carry grocery store in the Mrs. Nick Neubeiser building. Dr. and Mrs. F.J. von-Bohland and their guest, Miss Emma Keuhn, had a narrow escape from serious injury when their car was struck by a hit-run driver near the river at the Jack Carter corner. The car was thrown down an 8-foot embankment and rolled over twice, imprisoning the occupants in the vehicle until a stranger stopped about 15 minutes later and freed the badly bruised trio. In a game repleted with heavy hitting and fast fielding, the “Gesundheits” of Minneapolis

nosed out a ninth-inning win over Ed Eckert’s champs on the Belle Plaine diamond. At a meeting of the community club, there was discussion regarding roads, streets and parks, and a special committee on parks consisting of J.S. Effertz, C.A. Christenson and J.A. Schoell was appointed by Chairman Connolly, to cooperate with the council committee in seeing that our parks were given more attention. The marriage of Miss Marie Smith to Francis L. Lynch was solemnized at the Cathedral in St. Paul. Miss Irene Smith, sister of the bride, carried the ring on a white satin pillow. Eli Southworth died at age 81. He had come to Belle Plaine in 1856. After serving in the Civil War, he became a druggist in Belle Plaine until 1874, when he was admitted to the bar and located in Shakopee. The Mrs. Kelleher house on East Main Street was bought by Mr. M.L. Foldesi of Le Center. He planned to demolish the house and erect a gas station on that corner. Confirmation exercises were held at the West Union Lutheran Church for the following class: Frances Holmberg, Irene Larson, Kila Johnson, Verna Olson, Angeline Wanquist, Laura Williams, Reuben Anderson, Harold Johnson, Kenneth Johnson, Clinton Johnson and Arnold Paulson. At Redeemer Lutheran Church took place the marriage of Miss Mae Ernsting to Walter Reinitz, Rev. Janzig officiating. Attendants were Helen Ernsting and Elizabeth Moenke, Gilbert Reinitz and Leo Ernsting. Henry Eikenbusch took over as man in charge of the tailoring shop at the Model Store. Funeral services and burial of Mrs. Like Martz, nee Ross, took place at Green Isle. Two surviving sisters were Mrs. N. Walerius and Mrs. Frank Wagener of Belle Plaine. The windstorm that hit the area caused three deaths at Carver – the mother and brothers of the school superintendent and a teacher in the Carver school. They were holding a picnic in the village park and sought shelter from the storm in the pavilion. The pavilion was blown down and they were buried under structure debris and fallen trees. One of the victims, Christine Nelson, was buried at East Union. All of Carver County was badly hit by the storm. At Assumption, barns of Pat Colbert, Pat Welch, Robert Peipper, Peipper and Effertz and John Miller were blown down. Not far distant the barns of Adam Rolf, William Effertz and Bellquist Brothers were also down.

120 Years Ago (1895)

Announcement was made that saloons would not be allowed to open on any part of Sunday. Forty-five persons took part in the shooting contest at the August Tesch farm. Chris Kahle proved to be the best shot. J.H. Johnson, the Belle Plaine miller, added another mill to his string, opening a new one in Buffalo. He also had mills in Cokato and Delano. James Jackson, who came to this locality in 1854, died at age 81. A county seat war was about to start in Sibley County. Arlington thought it could wrest the courthouse from Henderson.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I am writing with regards to the May 6 letter to the editor from Allen Frechette of Shakopee, MN. The climate scare has become ridiculous. For example, take the claim by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), cited by letter writer Allen Frechette in his May 6 letter, that, “The globally averaged temperature over land and ocean surfaces for 2014, was the highest among all years since record keeping began in 1880.” Ignoring that the duration of the record in question is only three ten-millionths the age of the Earth, NOAA’s data shows that the record for 2014 was set by 0.04 degrees Celsius, while the uncertainty is 0.09 deg C. Seven previous years—2013, 2010, 2006, 2005, 2003, 2002, and 1998—are all within 0.09 deg of 2014’s level, so they all tie. NOAA cannot rationally say that last year had the highest temperature. This is not just an academic point. President Obama is determined to reshape America’s energy infrastructure based on mistakes like this. In particular, even though coal-fired electricity generation (which accounts for 46% of Minnesota’s power) can be made to emit little pollution, Obama is focussed on clos-

ing coal stations across the U.S. so as to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, a non-toxic gas he blames for global warming. Like Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL), a chapter of which will be launched in Scott County on June 6, Obama seems to believe that we can forecast weather trends decades in advance and even control climate as if we had a global thermostat. This overconfidence is leading to a moral tragedy. Across the world people suffer due to climate change. Yet aid agencies are unable to secure sufficient funds to help them because, of the $1 billion spent globally every day on climate finance, only 6% of it is goes to helping vulnerable people adapt to climate change today. Because activists like CCL have convinced governments that we control global climate, the remaining 94% is poured into mitigation, trying to stop phenomena that might someday happen. This is immoral, valuing the lives of people yet to be born more than those in need today. Scott Country residents should ask CCL representatives about this ethical problem at the very first meeting of the new chapter in your region. Sincerely, Tom Harris, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Belle Plaine Recognized by MPCA for Perfect Compliance Record The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) recently recognized the city of Belle Plaine for maintaining a perfect compliance record with its wastewater treatment permit during 2014. This year, the city of Belle Plaine wastewater treatment facility was among 116 wastewater facilities statewide to receive this recognition. MPCA Assistant Commissioner Rebecca Flood had high praise for the award recipients. “These men and women work diligently, each and every day, to protect our lakes, rivers and streams,” she said. “Meeting these high standards helps ensure that Minnesotans can enjoy clean water today and in years to come.” To be eligible for the award, facility operators were required

to correctly submit all monitoring reports to the MPCA on time, demonstrate consistent compliance through monitoring or surveys and employ staff certified by the MPCA in wastewater operations. The city of Belle Plaine first received this award in 1980 and has earned it 11 times since then. The awards were presented at the 78th annual Wastewater Operations Conference in early spring. The annual conference brings together wastewater operators throughout the state for training and professional education. There are about 1,360 municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities in Minnesota. Community, institution or treatment plant size was not a factor in awarding the certificates of excellence.

Polaris Moving Into Much of Vacant Kmart Warehouse Much of Shakopee’s largest vacant warehouse spaces will soon be filled when Polaris leases space in the vacant warehouse Kmart used to occupy. Minnesota-based Polaris Industries is consolidating its vehicle and raw-material storage operations in Shakopee from leased warehouses in and around St. Paul. The company is leasing 850,000 square feet of the 1.1 million-square-foot Kmart facility, the StarTribune recently reported. Vacant for more than two years, the Kmart facility is on

96 acres at 901 Canterbury Road S. (County Road 83, across from Canterbury Park). The move will allow the company’s operations to become more efficient, said Marlys Knutson, a Polaris spokesperson. The move should be completed by the end of the summer, she said. The approximately 130 employees who handle the stored products work for Superior Brokerage Services. That arrangement will continue after the move to Shakopee.

Those who were able also to attend included Jake Behnke, Chris Hoho, Dale and Kim Meierbachtol and Don and Shatzee Meierbachtol.The group discussed world problems, farming issues, like why

do rocks keep appearing in the fields, family and friends topics, like who’s graduating and getting married, plus a few stories and jokes were also told, which created a powerful thirst and appetite. Laurie grilled on Joe’s new used grill he got from Axle who missed out on all the tasty food. We appreciate all the Veterans who made it possible for all of us to have this weekend together.

Jim, Ray, and Jerry Wolff, sons of Madelyne Burns Wolff, were in Scottsbluff, Nebraska to visit their cousin Leo Hoehn and see the “Big Roundup.” The Wolff brothers enjoyed touring Yellow Stone Park, Deadwood and Mount Rushmore in Jerry’s new Ford truck. Members of the Burns clan including Dianne Palmstein, her daughter and granddaughter, Debbie and Jazmine Talon, were in Rochester for the graduation reception of another granddaughter, Natalie Elfstrand, daughter of Dave and Dawn at the Elfstrand home, Saturday afternoon. Natalie graduated from the Mayo High School and plans to attend the University of

Minnesota-Duluth this fall. Lucas Graham, Dan and Becky’s lad, graduated from Jordan High School, and hosted his graduation reception Sunday afternoon at the Graham farm, northwest of Henderson. Luke’s future plans include “attend the same school his dad attended.” Luke and his younger brother Lance are the grandson of Ralph Graham, and great-grandson of Mildred Burns Graham. Jodi, Andy and Anna Baumgard of Buffalo, and Jesse and Sherry Vlasak of Ostrander visited the St. Thomas cemetery along with Loni Graham before attending the graduation reception of Amber Brokl, who graduated from Montgomery High School.

Not St. Thomas but...Simona Krejcova, of the Czech Republic, has befriended many in the Czech areas of Montgomery and New Prague. She came to the United States after Kolacky Days late last summer, stayed with Carol Kotasek at her home and sometimes accompanied by Carol’s son and daughter-in-law to many of the events. She attended TCU High School, even though it didn’t count, Simona has to take this year over again in the Czech Republic when she returns home. The bubbly teenager made public appearances and sang, among others “Song of Bohemia,” an alltime favorite of many Czechs. She enjoyed experiences while here, sang on KCHK, and at the Dale Pexa Memorial at the Park Ballroom, most recently, she enjoyed the Valley Fair experience. Simona left Sunday morning at 5 a.m., and will be spending three weeks with her aunt in New York, before heading back to the Czech Republic. Her plans include returning to the United States in a couple years.

FISH Offering Help for Those Facing ‘Hoarding Disorder’ Families and Individuals Sharing Hope (FISH) is hosting an information session about hoarding disorder next Thursday, June 11, at the former Public Works facility between Jordan and Prior Lake. “Hoarding is a complex disorder that is made up of three connected problems, collecting too many items, difficulty getting rid of items, and problems with organization,” according to the International OCD Foundation. “These problems can lead to significant amounts of clutter which can severely limit the use of living spaces, pose safety and/or health risks, and result in significant distress and/or impairment in day-today living.”

The FISH second Thursday session will provide a basic level of understanding of the multidimensional nature of hoarding disorder development as well as challenges related to recovery, and communication techniques to help approach someone you are worried may be struggling with a hoarding disorder. The presentation, led by Scott County Public Health Nurse Brittani Schmidt, will be hosted at the Scott County Public Works building, and will include guidelines for disposing of household waste. An optional tour of the facility will be offered for those interested at the conclusion of the meeting.

Home Repair Loans and Grants With warmer weather upon us, USDA Rural Development is gearing up to help local homeowners finance home improvements through low-interest loans and grants. “Now is a good time for homeowners to evaluate the need for necessary repairs or replacement of items such as a roof, electrical, plumbing and siding,” said Tom Traetow, Area Specialist for Rural Development’s Southeast Area. “Energy efficiency improvements through replacing windows and insulation also qualify. Funds can also be used to replace a furnace, sanitary disposal system and to make homes handicap accessible.” Traetow said applicants must own and occupy the home, and their income may not exceed guidelines established by county and household size. Income limits vary by county

and average $25,000 for a oneperson household and $28,500 for two-person household in Southeastern Minnesota. Income limits increase for larger sized households. Traetow recommends checking with the local USDA Rural Development office for income limits in your county. Applicants must also have an acceptable credit history, show repayment ability, be unable to afford a conventional loan and live in a community with a population of 20,000 or fewer. Faribault, Northfield, and Owatonna are eligible for the program as they are currently “grandfathered” in. Grants are limited to elderly homeowners over the age of 62, and can only be used to remove health or safety hazards or remodel dwellings to make them accessible to household members with disabilities. The maximum grant is $7,500. For assistance in the following counties: Scott, Blue Earth, Dakota, Dodge, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Le Sueur, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, Waseca and Winona, contact the USDA, Rural Developwith budget and managing six ment office at 1810 30th St, NW #3, Faribault, MN 55021. employees.

“We know that hoarding disorder can lead to multiple concerns for those who suffer and their loved ones, and the issue can be a difficult one to broach,” said Beth Loechler, director of FISH. “We hope that participants gain a better understanding of the issue so that they can positively and effectively support recovery.” The session is open to the public at no cost Thursday (June 11), 9:30-11 a.m., at the Scott County Physical Development Department (formerly Public Works/Highway), 600 Country Trail E. (Highway 282), Jordan. Space is limited. RSVPs can be called into (952) 440-3600 or emailed to fish@fishgroup.net

Girl Scouts (continued from page 1) ily at a time when it needs the most help. After years of intense fund-raising, CWHL bought its building in 2005. The headquarters is in South Rockwood, Mich. in an old renovated fire station. Originally, CWHL’s focus was on children fighting cancer. But organizers learned children lose hair through alopecia, burns, Trichotillomania and other rare diseases and disorders. Currently, it provides a customized human hair replacement and care kit to over 300 children a year. Children With Hair Loss was created as a resource for all children who have medicallyrelated hair loss. It is the organization’s mission to empower children to become whole again by making hair replacement available to those who may be financially challenged and might otherwise not have a means of obtaining the hair they want and need. Children With Hair Loss’s goal is to assist as many of these children as possible in changing their lives by improving their outlook and empowering them with a degree of selfconfidence that will allow them to face the world with renewed self-esteem.

Town Tigers (continued from page 16) league game and was solid again, going six innings, giving up only one run with six strikeouts. Chase Emmers threw the next two-plus innings without giving up a run. He battled his control a little bit and was lifted in the top of the ninth with nobody out and runners on first and second. Josh Terrio came in and recorded the save with an assist from catcher Pat Schultz, who threw behind the runner at second and picked him off for the second out. A failed bunt attempt and a groundout sealed the deal on a perfectly pleasant night for baseball. The Tigers struggled a bit offensively, only coming away with four hits, but they made the most of them, as two came with a runner in scoring position. Matt and Pat Schultz both had a hit and a RBI. Travis Latzke didn’t have any hits but he did score both of the Tigers runs to go along with two stolen bases. Zach Juaire and Tyler Hartman had the other hits for Belle Plaine. A rousing Kangaroo court session was also held after the game and several rookies learned the nuances of the court system. Jonny Vinkemeier appears well on his way for challenging the all-time fine amount record, so if you see him on the street he may need to borrow a quarter or two. 2015 Town Tigers Results and Remaining Schedule May 1 vs. Prior Lake L 6-3 May 3 at Chaska L 12-2 May 8 vs. Plato L 12-1 May 10 vs. Gaylord ppd May 22 vs. Shakopee L 9-1 May 23 at Henderson W 10-4 May 29 at Chanhassen ppd May 31 vs. Fairfax W 2-1 June 2 at Victoria June 5 vs. Henderson June 7 at St. Peter June 12-14 Tigertown Classic June 16 vs. Prior Lake June 19 at Cologne June 21 at New Ulm K June 25-28 at Hamburg/ Green Isle Tourn.

It is up to the individual to decide when to begin receiving Social Security benefits. A person can take a reduced benefit as early as age 62. Or, a former employee can claim a full benefit at what the Social Security Administration considers to be full retirement age, which, for example, is 66 for anyone born between 1943 and 1954. Otherwise, a person can wait until age 70 for yet a larger benefit. Bear in mind that, once you elect to receive a reduced benefit, you remain at that level for the rest of your life (with normal cost-of-living increases). The longer you are apt to live, the more you benefit from waiting for the larger check. The current generation of retirees is more likely than the last generation to have active retirement years filled with a mix of travel, sports, and education. How will you spend your retirement years, and how can you fund those years? Social Security may fill only a limited amount of your financial demands.

Superintendent’s Update

By Dr. Kelly Smith

Congratulations to the Class of 2015 as they complete their final days of school this week and conclude their school career on Sunday. The Graduation Ceremony is always such a special event as we recognize the hard work and perseverance of the graduating seniors. Congratulations to all of you and best wishes in your future plans! Congratulations to our Girls Track team as they earned first place in the Section 2A Meet this past Saturday. Belle Plaine easily outdistanced second place Tri-City United by a 118.5 to 85 margin. Here are the girls who will be advancing to state: Jenna Gatz – Long Jump (2nd), 200 M Dash (1st) and 400 M Dash (1st); Bridget Egan – Pole Vault (2nd); Selin Dikmen – 100 M Hurdles (2nd); Janessa Meuleners – 800 M Run (1st); 4 x 800 M Relay (1st) – Emily Berger, Haley Leger, Alissa Schultz & J Meuleners; 4 x 400 M Relay (2nd) – A Schultz, J Meuleners, H Leger & J Gatz; 4 x 100 M Relay (2nd) – S Egan, Anna Donkhong, S Dikmen & Ally Fink. Congratulations to everyone and good luck to those advancing this Friday and Saturday! The Boys Track team placed 5th in the team competition and advanced two individuals to the state meet. Those advancing are: Ryan Wolke – 400 M Dash (2nd), 200 M Dash (1st) and 100 M Dash (1st); and Brady Johnson – Triple Jump (1st). Good luck to both of you at the State Meet this week! Our baseball team continued play on Tuesday this week needing wins against Norwood-Young America and Albert Lea to advance to the finals against undefeated Glencoe-Silver Lake on Thursday. Good luck guys – let’s have a great finish to an outstanding season! With the end of the school year, our school district office hours will be adjusted beginning next week. Our regular office hours will be 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Monday – Thursday and 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Friday. These hours will remain in effect until the end of August. Our community education offices will be moving to the high school office at the end of June as we make a transition in staffing with the retirement of Nelson Ladd on June 30th. Two positions – the 7-12 Activities Director and the Community Services Director – have been combined into one position and will now be called the Activities & Recreation Director. Chad Eischens, currently the Activities Director at New Ulm Public Schools, has accepted the position as Activities & Recreation Director for Belle Plaine and will begin his duties on July 1. He, along with Pandy Anderson, will be located in the high school office. Welcome to Belle Plaine, Mr. Eischens! Late word on Monday was that a tentative agreement had been reached between the Governor and Speaker of the House to resolve the education funding impasse. The Governor has dropped his request for pre-school programming for all 4 year olds and the Republicans have agreed to raising the amount of new money for education to $525 million. It appears that the general education funding formula will be increased by 2% each year of the biennium. As the final details of the agreement are hammered out, a special session will be called for next week and the State will avoid a potential shutdown on July 1. As always, if you have any questions about school matters, please feel free to call me at 8732400 or check our website at www.belleplaine.k12.mn.us. You may also find me on Twitter at @ BPTiger716. Go Tigers!

known for her work with the school’s fall musicals. Peter is also known for his work with the school’s one-act play program. BPHS’s musical productions regularly perform to standing-room-only audiences. The Belle Plaine one-act play troupe is well known throughout the state, earning 11 star ratings (the highest rating possible) in the past 13 years. He has also led a speech program that is among the area’s finest. The Jacobsons will be in Belle Plaine for much of the summer, leaving after Bar-B-Q Days. They’re looking forward to their last taste of Belle Plaine culture for the next few years. They are comfortable here. They are both well known in the community. “We had talked about this being an end stop,” Peter said. The end of the year is never an easy time for Allison. She sends the seniors off from their last class with a hug. “In some schools, you might get fired for hugging a student. If I get fired for that, so be it,” she said.

envisioning what he wants the audience to see, hear, and feel,” Hartmann said. “He does a great job getting the cast and crew to understand his vision and gets them very excited about the overall production. Peter is talented in all areas of theater. His vision has brought great ideas to all aspects of our productions from blocking, costuming, make-up, set design, light and sound effects,” Hartmann continued. Photographs of casts from previous productions are close at hand. Peter, always the tech. guy, has the electronic versions close at hand. Allison keeps photos of previous cast and crew members on the wall of her classroom. “It’s like giving up a part of yourself,” she said. They know the drama department is in good hands with talented people. Allison worked closely with Ali Burmeister to present plays annually. Burmeister refers to Jacobson as a good friend and mentor. “Alli (Jacobson) had a way with recruiting kids and growing the program. Those kids stayed because they cared so much about our drama program and cared about Alli as a teacher and director,” Burmeister said. “Alli created a collaborative environment. If a student/ actor had an idea they wanted to try, whether it was on stage, sound and lights or stage crew, she would always let them try it.”

The couple has two families – the students they know through the drama department and their own children. They are close to their students they have watched grow on stage. Peter Jacobson worked closely with elementary school teacher Tony Hartmann. They co-directed the one-act plays. “Peter has all the leadership qualities that make him an exceptional director. Peter has ‘Max & Norah’ creative vision. He has a way But the time has come to spend of looking at written scripts and more time with their own chil-

dren, Norah, 8, and 12-year-old Max. There have been too many events in their lives that have been pushed to the back burner because of a play practice or a speech competition. “For 17 years, we’ve put other peoples’ kids first,” Allison said. “Now it’s time for Max and Norah.” The Jacobsons look forward to having their own children in class at the school in India. The school also has impressive facilities for its upstart drama program. Allison expects they will graitate toward the program. Peter is also interested in working with the school’s new forensics program. “The campus there is beautiful. The facility is state-of-theart,” Peter Jacobson said. “We got a real good sense they want their employees to be happy.” Allison wishes there was more time here. She’d like to see the sophomores and juniors who are taking college in the schools classes complete the program. But there is comfort leaving on their terms. “We’re not leaving under duress,” Peter said. Both Allison and Peter are 40. They are at a point in their lives when the time to teach abroad is now. They have considered teaching in various European countries and even Japan. They visited Japan a few years back with their children and looked at the country, its people and their country as a place that one day could be their home. India wasn’t a country they has spent a lot of time considering. “It wasn’t on our ‘no’ list, but it wasn’t on our ‘top-10’ list, either,” Peter said. They strong proponents for experiencing other cultures and stepping out of a comfort zone. The pace of life in India is much more relaxed than here. Their life in India will be like nothing they have experienced previously. “We have to hire a driver,” Allison said. “If 106 degrees doesn’t appeal to us, we’ll see.”

Bomb Threat Hoax Shuts Down Carver County Government Center A bogus threat of a bomb hidden somewhere at the Carver County Government Center in Chaska had deputies searching and workers removed from the building Thursday (May 28) morning. At 6:05 a.m., 911 dispatchers received a call from an anonymous person who stated, “There is a bomb in your building. Have fun.” The caller then hung up. Over the next hour, dispatchers received several additional calls from a caller referencing a bomb in the building that was set to explode “soon.” In some of the calls, the caller(s) referenced ISIS and recent events in Baltimore, Md. The Carver County Govern-

ment Center was locked down and employees were directed to a safe location while deputies and police officers from Bloomington, Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and Minneapolis St. Paul Airport Police departments searched the government center with specially trained bomb detection dogs. There were no bombs or other threats located during the wide-ranging search. Employees were allowed to return to work at about 10:30 a.m. and the morning court calendar was rescheduled. Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson said, “These types of calls create a significant disruption to operations. We locked the facility because our first prior-

ity was the safety of the citizens and employees in the government center. Now that we know it’s safe, we can conduct our investigation.” Sheriff’s deputies are actively investigating the source of the threats. The technologies of the 911 Dispatch Center allow for law enforcement to capture caller data, which will aid in the investigation. Early information suggests this incident is a prank or hoax commonly called “swatting,” wherein the caller(s) provide a false report of a crime in progress or threat of violence to cause a disruption to peace and civil order. “This is no joke,” Olson said. “This is a serious crime.”

Jordan School Board Picks Chromebooks for Student Learning

Scott County Mobile Clinics

Jordan students will use Google Chromebooks as the school district’s educational technology tool of choice next year. The Jordan School Board recently approved a $360,000 lease that will provide Google Chromebooks for fifth-graders through high school seniors to use to enhance learning. By comparison, Belle Plaine opted for Apple iPads for all K-12 students this year. Jordan School District staff and board members favor the Chromebook Flip, but the exact model students receive will be determined by the district’s technology budget and finalized in an agreement between a vendor and the school district. About half the financing will

come via the district’s FFE (furniture, fixtures and equipment budget) from the middle school referendum with the other half financed from operating capital, the Jordan Independent recently reported. The district is considering a three-year lease with a $1 per device buyout at the end of the lease. It could sell them to another district to help finance an upgrade. The district favored Chromebooks after a six-month study. Half the Jordan students and staff used iPads and the other half used Chromebooks. They switched devices after winter break and then offered their opinions on the pros and cons of the two devices before selecting the Chromebook.

Belle Plaine’s Six-Game Run in Section Tournament Comes to End The Belle Plaine High School softball team came up with one of the most timely rallies in program history at North Mankato last Wednesday but the Tigers had little time to savor the moment as right up next was a second elimination game. The Tigers scored three runs in their final at-bat to rally from a 4-2 deficit and beat Norwood Young America 5-4 in the first game. Then came along St. Peter, which overcame an early 1-0 deficit by scoring the game’s final nine runs for a 9-1 victory, sending the Tigers home for the season. The next day, St. Peter lost to Le Sueur-Henderson 3-0, a team the Saints would have needed to beat twice in one night to make it to state. It was LS-H’s second section championship in a row. Belle Plaine finished the season 12-2 in the Minnesota River Conference, 18-5 overall.

The Tigers’ 4x200 relay team of Taylor Kruger, Katlyn Jeurissen, Rylee Pumper and Krautkremer finished seventh. “We really had a great meet with no significant downers,� said Tigers coach Rich Foust. “The only negative was the cool start to the day that may have made the pole vault a little more difficult to get the poles to bend. We knew that in order for Shannon Egan to move on in the vault she would need to make the state qualifying mark of 10-2, but the coolness may have hampered that opportunity.� It was the Belle Plaine girls’ fourth section team title in a row and sixth in eight years.

Tigers Try to Stay Alive in Playoffs by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School baseball team had itself a big postseason sandwich last week, defeating Holy Family Catholic 5-0 last Wednesday in Victoria and Tri-City United 12-2 on Saturday in St. Peter. It was the middle part of the sandwich that didn’t taste well as the Tigers lost to Glencoe-Silver 8-0 in Glencoe on Thursday. The Tigers needed loser bracket wins this past Tuesday against Norwood Young America and Albert Lea to keep their state tournament hopes alive. Those games took place in St. Peter after this edition of the Herald went to press. Whichever team of that trio survived Tuesday will try to beat Glencoe-Silver Lake twice this Thursday in St. Peter to make it to state. G-SL has yet to lose a game in the double-elimination tournament. Check the Herald’s Facebook page for tournament updates. Tigers 5, Holy Family 0 Belle Plaine, which had opened the postseason with an 8-5 victory over Jordan the previous week at Tiger Park, got a huge pitching outing by Ben Wagner, who shutout the Fire after allowing just three hits and one walk while striking out five in going the distance. “Ben Wagner was phenomenal on the mound, said Belle Plaine coach Pat Schultz. “He attacked the zone all day and did a great job keeping the Holy Family hitters off balance. Our defense played a very nice game behind Ben and it was great to see all phases of our game come together.” The Tigers scored one run

in the first inning, three in the sixth and one in the seventh. Wagner also contributed with the bat as he had two hits and two RBI. Jon Vinkemeier also had two hits and drove in a run. Aaron Mancini had a double, while Aiden Ladd and Marcus Giesen rounded out Belle Plaine’s seven-hit attack. Glencoe-SL 8, Tigers 0 The top-seeded and host Panthers scored three runs in the third and five in the fifth to rout the Tigers, who had just one hit. “We never got our bats going all game,” Schultz said. “We put the ball in play but hit a lot of ground balls, and just never squared up on the ball or put good swings on it. “Mitchel Stier started out

strong on the mound for us but in the third inning a batter reached on a strike three in the dirt and eventually scored on a first and third double steal that was a bang-bang play at home plate,” Schultz continued. It was all downhill for Belle Plaine from that point on. Stier had the Tigers’ only hit. Tigers 12, TCU 2 The Tigers showed the Titans the gate to the tournament exit in St. Peter Saturday by a 12-2 score in a game that was shortened to five innings due to the 10-run rule. It was a big turnaround from two days earlier. The Tigers scored at least one run in all five of their at-bats,

As she’s done often the past couple of years, the Tigers’ Jenna Gatz distanced herself from the pack during the 200-meter dash preliminaries at Saturday’s section meet in Mankato. Gatz went on to win the section title in both the 200 and 400 dashes, the latter of which she broke the school and section record in with a time of 57.51.

Belle Plaine Girls Qualify for State in Nine Events; Boys in Four

In running away with the Section 2A team title on Saturday, the Tigers qualified for state Ben Wagner, playing first base, made the long stretch but the in nine events. Leading the charge to St. Paul this Friday base runner was safe during Thursday’s game in Glencoe. and Saturday for Belle Plaine will be junior Jenna Gatz, who took first place in the 200- and 400-meter dashes in the section meet at Mankato West High School, and in doing so broke the school record in the 400dash with a time of 57.51. The record had been held by Laurie Wolpern-Fogarty since the 1980s. Gatz’s time was good enough to also break the section record that was set in 1993 by Kris Hansen of Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial. Gatz is the defending state Class 1A champion in the 400. Gatz’s time of 26.14 in the 200 dash Saturday was 11/100th of a second faster than 100-meter champion Kayla Stowell of Le Sueur-Henderson. With the top two in each event earning a state berth, Gatz will also compete at Hamline in the long jump as her leap of 16-08.75 was good for second place behind Jordan’s Jenna Kes (17-03.50).

Meuleners will be competing in two other events at state as she took first place at section in the 800 run (2:22.05), which was just over a second ahead of Abbie Schnabel of Norwood Young America. Meuleners was also a member of the Tigers’ victorious 4x800 relay team that finished in 9:35.80, which was 10 seconds ahead of second-place Fairmont and a new Belle Plaine school record. Emily Berger, Schultz and Leger are the other members of the squad. Belle Plaine’s 4x100 relay team also qualified for state as it placed second to WatervilleElysian-Morristown with a It was a tough game for Belle Plaine catcher Aiden Ladd and the rest of the Tigers Thursday at time of 51.08, half a second beGlencoe.
