The “One” and the Most! Belle Plaine High School senior Abigail Meger not only sold the most tickets (84) in the 2016 Belle Plaine Dollars for Scholars Car Raffle, but she also sold the winning ticket to Tim Burns of Prior Lake, who is a friend of the family. Meger received $400 for selling the most tickets and another $400 for the winning ticket. Burns’ prize was a 2010 Imperial Blue Metallic Chevy Cobalt, which was donated by Matt Saxe Chevrolet Buick of Belle Plaine. Pictured at the right is Matt Saxe, who said it was the seventh car his dealership has donated to the Dollars for Scholars Car Raffle since opening in Belle Plaine. Some $19,000 worth of $25 tickets were sold this year, proceeds from which go to scholarships for BPHS graduating students.

Staff Brings Concerns About City Hall Security to Council by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine City Council Monday night unanimously authorized staff to apply for an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) grant that would be used to help cover costs for safety improvements at city hall. Staff reported that the current open floor layout does not provide for a safe work environment in that people from the public are able to walk through the lobby area to access the offices without limitations. It was also noted that some computer equipment is not secure. Interim City Administrator Dawn Meyer reported that staff

reviewed these items with Troy Walsh of the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust and that he concurred that safety improvements to the front lobby area would be beneficial. The proposed improvements include reconfiguration of the front office space to provide a service window and area for pool pass sales, and adding a wall to separate the lobby from the rest of the office area. The project would also include installing a secure door to limit access to the office area. Meyer said staff received an estimate from a local contractor of approximately $15,000 for the improvements.

As it looks to bolster its business in a growing marketplace, Sponsel’s Minnesota Harvest is requesting Scott County’s permission to continue hosting weddings, events and build a bed & breakfast at the orchard. But approval will likely be contingent on operations coming into compliance with existing permits and regulations. The Scott County Planning Advisory Commission will consider the orchard’s request Monday night (June 13) in the county board chambers at the Scott County Government Center in Shakopee. A public hearing is slated for 6:40 p.m. The hearing will be to consider amending Minnesota Harvest’s 1991 conditional-use permit (CUP) to allow weddings and other events at the orchard on Old Highway 169 Boulevard northeast of Belle Plaine. The CUP covers the production and sale of agricultural products. After sheriff’s deputies re-

ceived complaints, Scott County became aware of 60 weddings held at the orchard in 2015 and “at least 20” weddings scheduled for 2016. The hosting of events at the orchard has become “a significant part of their business and is not permitted under the 1991 CUP,” according to Marty Schmitz, the county’s zoning administrator. The county is seemingly willing to allow Sponsel’s Minnesota Harvest to host weddings and other events, but only if the orchard meets certain conditions. For example, a red storage shed built in 2013 for grain and storage equipment has been used for weddings. It must be brought into compliance with building codes. While Minnesota Harvest is not proposing any traffic management improvements, Scott County is also recommending additional

by Dan Ruud “I don’t have any intentions or plans for running. I’m flattered the question gets asked. I hope that it will lead to a woman running for president.” Those were the words of former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to ABC’s Barbara Walters shortly before the Belle Plaine High School class of 2016 began kindergarten in 2003. The top kiddy movie of 2003 was “Finding Nemo.” The sequel for the movie, “Finding Dory,” will finally be released next Friday, five days after the Belle Plaine kindergartners of 2003 secure their high school diplomas. The biggest sports story of 2003 was the Florida Marlins defeating the heavily-favored New York Yankees in the World Series. Locally, both the Scott West wrestling and girls’ basketball teams won section championships and competed in the state tournament, the latter of which lost to Rochester Lourdes in the first round in Rochester. Nearly 130 members of the

class of 2016 (about 30 more than last year) are set to receive their diplomas at Sunday’s 2 p.m. ceremony in the school’s south gymnasium. BPHS Principal Dave Kreft will welcome the class and the choir will sing “You Raise Me Up,” accompanied by Mason Ponath. McKenzie Koepp will be the student speaker. Her speech is called “Belle Plaine Tigers.” Science teacher Brad Pederson will be the staff speaker. The title of his speech is less simple than Koepp’s – “Expeiri Cognitio.” Belle Plaine Dollars for Scholars President Tricia Ruud will recognize this year’s scholarship recipients. School Superintendent Ryan Laager will present the class and School Board Chair Dan Gardner will hand out diplomas. The ceremony will close with the song “Anchors Aweigh.” The class officers for the 201516 school year are President Trinity Webb, Vice President McKenzie Koepp, Treasurer Grace Olson and Secretary Kali Gorman.

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 on Tuesday. They will be published next Wednesday. The class song is “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire. The motto for the class of 2016 is from Nathan Scott (One Tree Hill): It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re 17 and you’re planning for someday. And then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.

Many Mankato Bound

Two dozen members of the BPHS class of 2016 will attend Minnesota State University Mankato next school year. Add to that South Central College, and approximately 33 Tiger alum will be attending school

“OSHA offers a grant for safety improvements and securityrelated improvements are eligible,” Meyer reported, adding that the grant would be a 50/50 match up to $10,000. “The city would be responsible for half of the costs if successful.” “The grant is ongoing, so there is not a specific deadline, but staff would apply this year with the intent of having the improvements completed by the end of the year,” Meyer continued. Staff’s request to apply for the grant was on the council’s con- Dave Kreft, Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School principal, led a presentation to coaches and parents on the effort to upgrade the school’s weight room and create a new logo last Council Wednesday (June 1).

The staff report also indicates Minnesota Harvest will have to bring its existing septic system into compliance to receive the updated CUP it is requesting. Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township expects the county will use the issuing of a certificate of occupancy as leverage to bring Minnesota Harvest into compliance. “There will be tighter inspections and follow-up once everything is in place, ” said Wagner, the county board’s liaison to the planning advisory commission. Schmitz said county staff is supportive of the structures on the property being used to host events as long as they meet existing building codes and requirements for septic systems serving the buildings and commercial kitchen space. Other county requirements include a midnight time limits for amplified music. The 300-acre orchard is surrounded by largelot residential property and agricultural land.

People Are Much Greater Than a Test Score’

After months of behind-thescenes work on a new primary and secondary logos for its sports teams, student activities and other uses, the Belle Plaine School District unveiled its tiger Wednesday night. The new logo is a profile of right-facing tiger head. The district also OK’d secondary logos, an updated interlocking BP and Tiger paws. The approved logo is the result of months of work by a committee and artists working with Varsity Brands, the parent company of Herff Jones, Varsity Spirit and BSN Sports, the companies through which the district bought new weight room equipment. The approved new logo for Belle Plaine School and complementing font for B.P. apparel and equipment came at no cost to the school district since the school purchased the weight room equipment through the firms, said Dave Kreft, the junior-senior high school’s principal. Charlie Kern, a 2010 BPHS graduate, is a representative of BSN Sports and assistant BPHS football coach. He worked with the school and company artists to generate the new logos. The presentation of the new

logo last Wednesday (June 1) was timed with recognition of the completed upgraded weight room. School District Ryan Laager said the upgrades are meant to complement the efforts of Belle Plaine’s students and athletes. Hundreds of physical education students and studentathletes will use the upgraded weight room each week. The improved equipment -- worth about $60,000 – was funded by donations from a variety of community athletic, civic and other organizations. Using donated money, the school still

Wiley Helped Scott County Save Money by Bringing People Together Former B.P. Resident Spent 23 Years Helping People

Cologne Opens Splash Pad Dozens of children from Cologne were among the first to use the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new splash pad Saturday morning (June 4) in City Square Park. The splash pad includes several features that spray, squirt and dump water. A button controls the flow of water on a four-minute cycle. Water is recycled via an underground tank below the pad. The splash pad is encircled by an aluminum fence, keeping bikes out and youngsters from wandering off. City Administrator Jesse Dickson said the splash pad was completed within the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $180,000 budget.

She played the role of matchmaker, but not in the old-fashioned sense. Jane Wileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role was to link the talents and interests of people willing to give with people in need. Wiley, a former Belle Plaine resident, recently retired from her job as Scott Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteer and community coordinator. She worked for the county for 23 years, the last 13 as its volunteer and community coordinator. Working with volunteers happened by accident. Literally. Wiley was initially hired as a social worker. She was on her way from Belle Plaine to work at the Scott County Government Center one fall morning. It was Sept. 16, 2002. Wiley was driving on Highway 169, just north of its intersection with Highway 282 in Jordan, a northbound semi truck crashed into her. Unaware of her vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence, the truck moved over into Wileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lane, pinning her car beneath the trailer and dragging Wileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle several hundred feet. Wiley was injured in the crash. She was out of work for six months. Her caseload as a social worker was too important to go un-served, so the county hired a replacement. The crash cemented her decision to move out of Belle Plaine. She and her husband, Bob, the former BPHS band director, moved to Savage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never liked BPHdriving 6/8/16on 169,â&#x20AC;? she said.3x5.75 Wiley went back to work in the spring of 2003. With her position in human services filled, Wiley replaced Tom Hennen. He was retiring after many years working for the county as its elected auditor and then volunteer coordinator after Scott County moved to an appointed auditor.

Former Belle Plaine resident Jane Wiley recently retired from her job with Scott County. She worked for the county for 23 years, the last 13 as its volunteer and community coordinator. Wiley expected the position would be a temporary one. She figured sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be back to work in human services in short order. Thirteen years later, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleased the way things worked out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They needed somebody who could step into the job shortterm,â&#x20AC;? Wiley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really enjoyed it.â&#x20AC;?

Making Connections

As the county began to build and manage its database of

people willing to volunteer for tasks, it became apparent someone who could make the best possible use of a growing number of volunteers and their varied array of talents was needed. The jobs included tasks like driving veterans and elderly residents to doctor appointments, mentoring, helping clean up a house so the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community development

Church News

Wiley (continued from page 2) authority can rent it. She recalls the story of a boy who, upon his 18th birthday, was told by his mother it was time for him to be on his own. The young man needed the county’s help with education and mentoring for job skills. She was able to help the young man meet people willing to tutor him and provide job skills training. The connection with volunteers helped keep the young man off formal public assistance. “I always loved the interaction with people, helping solve problems. That was the most satisfying part of my job. The worst is when you can’t make that connection,” she said. In 2015, Wiley helped match up people who gave over 23,550 volunteer hours to needy people and projects. Based on national statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor & Statistics, those volunteer hours were worth over $543,000 in 2015 alone. She’s conﬁdent estimating the value of hours people have donated to the county and helping residents is worth $300,000 to $500,000 annually. “That’s a lot of money, money we don’t have to levy,” said Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township. “It’s great that we have an opportunity to help people in our own communities. This is one of those government programs that really make a lot of sense.” The critical part of Wiley’s job is promptly linking volunteers with a person or organization in need. Once people make the decision to help, Wiley knows she has to put them to work quickly. “They won’t wait around for us to call. They’ll ﬁnd someplace else to give their time,” she said. The other part of Wiley’s job was to help foster connections between citizens and the county. She helped run the county’s Future Leaders program, where junior high students learn about county government and providing services each spring. She also works on the county’s senior expo each fall and helps organize the county’s booth during the Scott County Fair each summer. She also helps organize the county’s annual volunteer recognition breakfast, the adopt-a-family program for the holiday season, the Project Community Connect program that helps the county’s homeless population, and FISH (Families and Individuals Sharing Hope) initiatives. Wiley plans to commit her retirement to volunteering her own time. She’s on FISH’s board of directors. Wiley also plans to work on a facet of Scott County’s updated comprehensive plan. One of its goals is to keep half the adults who live in the county working in Scott County. Wiley, 68, also plans to spend more time with her family, especially her nine grandchildren. One of her adult children lives in San Diego, Calf., and the other two in Colorado. “I’m ready for something different,” she said. “I’m looking forward to retirement.”

Session on Transportation Issues Impacting Residents Set for June 9 Families and Individuals Sharing Hope (FISH) will host an information session about transportation “Getting There – Opportunities and Barriers,” on Thursday, June 9 at Hope Church in Jordon. During this session, you will learn about what a group of mechanics in Jordan is doing to help those in need to repair their vehicles. There will also be opportunities for partnership and discussion about the recent meeting of area mechanics in Scott County. “There are many challenges that come along with transportation barriers, those barriers can turn into major setbacks like job loss and homelessness if people can’t get back on the road again,” according to Bethany Tjornhom, executive director of FISH. “We hope that participants gain a better understanding of the issue so

that they can positively and effectively work together to help create new opportunities for transportation.” People who have been helped by local mechanics will also be sharing their own stories regarding the struggle of having to choose between paying their rent or paying for a car repair. SmartLink, which offers multiple types of rides, including transportation specifically for people with disabilities — funded under the ADA — and Dial-a-Ride, which serves all residents in Carver and Scott counties will also be giving an update on services. The session is open to the public and free. Thursday, June 9, 9:30-11:00 a.m., Hope Lutheran Church, 201 Hope Avenue, Jordan. Space is limited. RSVPs can be called into 952440-3600 or e-mailed to fish@ fishpartnernetwork.org.

Hans Hagen Homes Has Plans for New Housing in Cologne

Hans Hagen Homes and its parent company believe there is room for growth in Cologne. The developer and its parent company are planning a new phase of development for empty-nesters and families alike. Monday (June 6), the Cologne City Council OK’d a request for an amendment to the city’s comprehensive plan. The developer wants 37.8 acres north of Village Parkway, south of Highway 212 and west of County Road 53 within Village at Cologne rezoned. The rezoning, if approved, would change the zoning from medium density (more than six units per acre) to low density (three to six units per acre). Hans Hagen Homes, a division of M/I Homes, is proposing 51 single-family houses on a foundation and 23 townhouse-style (single-level) houses built on a concrete slab. The single-family houses will be primarily marketed toward families. They’ll have 2,200to 3,200-square feet on lots 65 to 75 feet wide and 125 feet or more front to back. The lot and house are expected to cost $300,000 and up, said John Rask, a vice president of land for the company. The townhouses will be marketed toward empty-nesters or people without children. The units will be 1,700- to 2,400square feet on lots 50 to 60 feet wide and 125 feet or more feet front to back. Rask said the townhouses and lots will be priced from $275,000 to

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Dance Recital Thirteen girls from Belle Plaine had participated in a dance recital in Shakopee in 1986 for Shari Sinn’s Dance School. Pictured in the back row, from left, are Shelly Fogarty, Noreen Newell, Cathy Schwartz and Carrie Townsend. In the middle row are Kelly Behnke, Karee Chevalier, Candy Lambrecht and Megan Murphy. In the front row are Michelle Murphy, Jamie Bergs, Tonya Chevalier, Danielle Schmit and Katie Fogarty.

Belle Plaine’s new city administrator, Tony F. Hallman, reported for his ﬁrst day of work that Monday from Three Lakes, Wis. The 43-year-old Hallman succeeded Curt Brekke, who resigned while undergoing probationary interviews. The Belle Plaine School Board that Monday night hired Randy Carlson, who had been teaching at Arlington as a full-time math teacher and head basketball coach in Belle Plaine. Excellent participation was reported as Belle Plaine summer school classes began. One senior high and eight junior students were enrolled when classes got underway that Monday at Belle Plaine Junior High School. This marked the ﬁrst time the district held summer school for some years. Patty Germeschied, a junior high English teacher, was directing the program. After almost 20 years in the shoe business, Earl and Harriet Gerdes announced they would be selling their shoe store (Gerdes Shoe Store) to Ralph and Sally French, who would take over July 1. The Gerdes had purchased the business on Oct. 1, 1965 from John Fischer. Belle Plaine’s 16th annual Downtown Cookout would take place Friday evening, June 20. Bar-B-Q Days picture buttons went on sale that Tuesday. It marked the second year that a picture of the Bar-B-Q Days royalty appeared on the buttons. Emma L. Krumrey, age 88, of Belle Plaine, passed away June 7 at the Belle Plaine Lutheran Home. Mrs. Krumrey was born in Tyrone Township to Wilhelm and Johanna (Schultz) Laabs. She married Henry Krumrey at Redeemer Lutheran Church on Oct. 30, 1917. They moved to Belle Plaine in 1932. Belle Plaine Public Works Director Pat Fogarty checked out the city swimming pool after city crews had worked over 240 man hours making repairs and he declared the pool adequately repaired. The Belle Plaine town baseball team split two games that week, defeating St. Boni 4-2 and losing to Jordan 12-8. Dave Harms hit a home run against St. Boni and Jeff Fogarty pitched the distance, striking out eight.

60 Years Ago (1956)

Phyllis Woestehoff, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilmer Woestehoff of Blakeley, was reelected president of the Minnesota 4-H Club during the state 4-H Club Week at University Farm. Mr. and Mrs. Matt Pint Sr. observed their golden wedding anniversary with an open house at the Union Hill school dining hall. Gwen Laabs, 20, of Lydia, was crowned Scott County Princess

Kay at the ﬁrst annual county contest. Kitty Murphy of Belle Plaine and Carol Beckman of Jordan were named as the queen’s alternates. A surprise party celebrating the 30th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Al Streitz was given at their home by their daughter, Mrs. Edward Effertz. Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Walsh attended the graduation exercises at the University of Minnesota. Their son, Richard, was a member of the class of morticians. Work was progressing on the vacating of Grove Street between the high school and the baseball park so the football ﬁeld could be extended. About 65 relatives and friends helped Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Stier celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary at the Stier home. At the University of Minnesota, special awards were presented to students, among them whom was Lee T. Lynch, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Lynch of Belle Plaine. Lee’s award was the Order of Ski-U-Mah. A new addition to Belle Plaine’s skyline appeared with the erection of bulk cement equipment at the Belle Plaine Block and Tile factory. A 60-foot elevator lifted the cement into the huge 600-barrell hopper. Julius Stier, factory owner, stated that he had been preparing for the changeover from sack cement to bulk for many months. Rev. and Mrs. John Melchert and Luke drove to Valparaiso, Ind., to attend their son Paul’s graduation from Valparaiso University. Paul received his B.A. degree. Helen Otto, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Otto, and Louis Heitkamp, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Heitkamp, were married at Trinity Lutheran Church. Barbara Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Smith, and Jerome Moriarty, son of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Moriarty, were married at Sts. Peter and Paul’s Church. The marriage of Theresa Ann Shaughnessy, daughter of Mrs. Nora Shaughnessy and the late Richard Shaughnessy, to Linus Huss, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Huss of Union Hill, took place at St. Thomas Catholic Church. Belle Plaine’s baseball fortunes continued to ride high as the Tigers won their second and third straight games to capture undisputed second place – only one game behind front-running St. Peter. As a team, the Tigers were hitting at the rate of .333, led by Pete Johnson with a sensational average of .545. Joe Fogarty, Belle Plaine, led Scott County Dairy Herd Improvement Association testers for May with his herd of registered and grade Holsteins producing an average of 1,328 pounds of milk and 47.4 pounds of butterfat.

90 Years Ago (1926)

Mrs. Marie Junn, widow of Joseph Junn, died at the family home in St. Lawrence at age 83. The long spring drought was broken by a soaking rain. It was called a million dollar rain. The Paul McConnells of Blakeley entertained at a gathering in honor of the 80th birthday of his father, John McConnell. Ollie Dougal opened his enlarged quarters with an open house, handing out 600 ice cream cones, 300 small boxes of chocolate and 200 cigars. Christian Rihl, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rihl of Belle Plaine,

Letter to the Editor

and Miss Grace Konkel of Minneapolis were married in the latter city. Al Streitz, who had just moved here from Jordan, changed his bachelor status. His marriage to Miss Zvanovec took place at Lonsdale. The old grandstand at the ball park was torn down because it was considered no longer safe, and a new grandstand was under construction. The marriage of Miss Nora Kelley and Patrick F. Haugh took place at Sacred Heart Church. The couple established their home in St. Paul. The marriage of Miss Mary Reak and Rudy Klinkhammer took place at Sacred Heart Church. The couple started housekeeping on the groom’s farm in Belle Plaine Township. Rev. K.M. Holberg, who had been pastor of the West Union Lutheran Church for several years, tendered his resignation. He planned to take the pastorate of the First Lutheran Church in Iron Mountain, Mich. The Belle Plaine creamery held its annual picnic on the Art Gruetzmacher farm with big attendance. Chris Kahle won the old ﬁddlers’ contest, John Jackson the horseshoe pitching match, and the town team beat the farmers 5 to 4. Louis Thelling, 86, a resident at the Home for the Aged, slipped away for a long walk, and the next heard of him was his death on the railroad track near Merriam. His remains were brought back to Belle Plaine with burial in the cemetery of the Home.

120 Years Ago (1896)

The saloon conducted by M.S. Wherley was discovered ablaze in the early morning and was practically destroyed. The upper ﬂoor of the Weibeler warehouse collapsed under its load of binding twine and farm machinery. Three occupants barely escaped injury. William McKinley of Ohio was nominated in St. Louis as the Republican candidate for president. The party platform hedged on the hotly-debated silver issue. After being without a photographer for a year, the town suddenly acquired two – C.E. Pelton and J.J. Foster.

Dear Editor, Model for All Community Leaders Kevin Studnicka, our celebrated Scott County Sheriff, has taken the dramatic step of retiring at the young age of 53. Kevin has effectively modeled for us many of the qualities of a skilled leader—unrelenting customer service, listening careful and respectfully to everyone, building coalitions, and encouraging competence in employee groups and community organizations. As the Scott County Sheriff, Kevin and his fellow employees have delivered valuable services to residents and communities in Scott County. He has demonstrated the qualities we are looking for in our current and future leaders at the local, county, and national level--individual humility, professional competence, focus on efﬁciency and effectiveness, and treating all residents with respect. Many of the current political, social, and public policy debates have suddenly taken on a destructive and dehumanizing tone. Some leaders focus on the interest of their political or social organization, others feel the need to criticize or challenge the personal values, ethnic background, religious beliefs, or national origin of people in our communities. As Sheriff of Scott County, Kevin Studnicka has demonstrated that a leader can be effective while respecting people of all ages, cultural backgrounds, and social and political persuasions. Kevin has improved the planning for and sharing of resources within Scott County. He has worked with community leaders to deal with increasing drug use, other criminal issues, and potential emergency situations. He introduced new social media platforms and other communication systems.Kevin shares his commitment for excellence and results orientation with many Scott County employees under the stewardship of Gary Shelton. Kevin Studnicka has successfully transitioned his responsibilities to a new leadership team, headed by Sheriff Luke Hennan. Let us all celebrate the exceptional service, the commitment to justice, the humanity and the energy that Kevin

He’s a great listener and will guide you every step of the way.

Studnicka brought every day to Scott County. Kevin’s personal qualities, organizational style, and personal commitment, can serve as a powerful model for who to elect this fall at the local, county, state and national level: Individuals who care passionately about the contributions and the potential of all people, and are willing to take bold steps while providing clear and speciﬁc solutions to the problems that we face. We appreciate Kevin for his service, and for the many ways he has made Scott County a better place to live. Lloyd Erbaugh Prior Lake, MN

Belle Plaine to Opt-Out of New State Temporary Housing Law Belle Plaine will not participate in a new state law that allows a city to approve the use of recreational vehicles as temporary housing for relatives with health issues or who need short-term housing. Gov. Mark Dayton signed the proposal into law May 16. Monday night (June 6), during a joint meeting of the Belle Plaine City Council and the Belle Plaine Planning & Zoning Commission, the two agreed the city will

take advantage of a provision in the new law allowing cities to opt-out of accepting the law, said Cynthia Smith-Strack, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of Community Development. Smith-Strack said â&#x20AC;&#x153;the unknownsâ&#x20AC;? of the state law -- terms like chronic illness, temporary, and family member -- prompted the council and commission to pass on accepting the law. Councilors and commissioners were also concerned about the new

lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short 15-day timeframe for approval and the lack of a public hearing where neighbors could comment on an application for short-term, temporary housing. The 15-day clock on an application starts anew if the application is deemed incomplete. There was also concern about the amount of administrative time needed for tracking people living in short-term temporary housing had the city participated in the new law.

Jordan Gives Limited OK to Weekend Food Trucks The Jordan City Council recently approved the ďŹ rst reading of an ordinance allowing a limited number of food trucks operating in Jordan Fridays through Sunday. The proposal arrived at the council after being vetted by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning commission. Commission members and

city councilors alike discussed concerns about the impact food trucks could have on brick-andmortar restaurants, the Jordan Independent recently reported. But at the May 10 commission meeting and May 16 city council meeting, Jordan restaurateurs let the council do all the talking. City staff reported hearing few

or no concerns from owners of permanent restaurants in town. Councilor Mike Franklin said a food truck and a brick-and-mortar restaurant are fundamentally different businesses. He said the lack of uproar led him to believe the city should not be terribly restrictive on an ordinance permitting food trucks.

New Prague Revisits Modified Multi-Family Housing Proposal of Witt Propertiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proposal to rezone 3.61 acres south of the Cobornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grocery store in New Prague from commercial to multi-family residential to allow a twin homes development. The proposal, which the council snubbed in April after owners of nearby single-family homes and Mayor Chuck Nickolay raised concerns, is different this time, the New Prague Times recently

reported. A tri-plex house has been replaced with a berm that will have trees atop it to serve as a buffer between the multi-family housing project and existing single-family houses. Nickolayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objection was based on the loss of proposed commercial tax base. But the city already has over 100 acres of undeveloped land guided for commercial use.

Town Tigers Baseball

Tigertown Classic This Weekend by Brett Kruschke The Belle Plaine town baseball team took a 2-0 lead to the seventh inning Sunday against Le Sueur, only to watch the wheels fall off in a 10-4 setback. The River Valley League loss bumps the Tigers to 1-3 in league play and 3-6 overall. Rain claimed Friday’s muchanticipated clash with the Milroy Irish, and the clubs have agreed to try again next year. The Tigers tussled Tuesday night at Jordan, the newlycrowned Stearns County Classic champions over the weekend. This Friday, the 18th annual Tigertown Classic fund-raiser tournament will begin with Belle Plaine and the Wells Wildcats at 6:30 p.m. Game two will feature the tourney’s defending champs, Tim Huber and the Renner Monarchs, against the collegiately-covered Marshall A’s at approximately 8:30 p.m. Action starts early on Saturday with Dodge County and Luverne at 10:30 a.m., followed by Blue Earth and Pipestone at approximately 12:45 p.m. If the Tigers win Friday, they’ll play Saturday at 7:30 p.m; if they lose, it will be at 5:15 p.m. See the related story on page 17, but author Todd Mueller of the new book “Town Ball Parks of Minnesota” will be signing the book at Tiger Park from 6:30-8:30 p.m. On Sunday, play begins at 11 a.m. as the ﬁrst of three games on the day; please see the bracket for full details. It’s going to be a hot one this weekend, but that just makes the beer colder!

Le Sueur 10, Tigers 4 The Braves’ Jordan Sinell and the Tigers’ Ben Wagner went toe-to-toe Sunday and halfway home, there was no score. The Tigers’ Travis Latzke changed that with a two-run double in the fifth, with pinch-runner Mike Schultz scoring all the way from first base. The Tiger skipper was first called out but after instant replay – when the umpire saw that the catcher hadn’t held onto the ball – he was instead and rightly called safe. Wagner carried a shutout to the seventh but quickly ran out of steam and couldn’t finish the inning, as suddenly Belle Plaine trailed, 3-2. The home team had ample chances in the bottom of the frame but made two baserunning gaffes that resulted in a goose egg. It was just another beautiful night at the ballpark when suddenly, manager Mike Schultz appeared in the press box and told scoreboard operator Nick Johnson – his nephew – “Come with me.” With familial and police authority as an investigator for the Scott County Sheriff’s office behind Mike’s statement, Nick went without saying a word. It turns out that Tigers right fielder Joe Hankins got cleated – or had a “hole in his hand,” as Mike said – and the Tigers were out of uniformed reserves. So as soon as Johnson could slip on uniform No. 8, into right field he went. Nick may have been questioning life as he stood before the double-link fence, watching Le Sueur’s Brandon Culbert cap a seven-run eighth inning with a three-run shot over the left-

Normandale Community College will be home to at least eight BPHS grads, while the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and University of Wisconsin-River Falls are attracting at least a half-dozen apiece. The University of Minnesota Duluth and Southwest Minnesota State University are in the plans for seven and ﬁve, respectively. Next on the list and their number of BPHS grads are South Dakota State University (4), and Vermilion Community College (3). Others attracting at least two Belle Plaine students are Gustavus Adolphus College, Hamline University, Winona State University, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Hennepin Technical College and last and not nearest, Arizona State University. Other schools attracting at least one BPHS grad range from Regency Beauty Institute to Dartmouth to the College of Charleston to the University of Kansas. At least ﬁve students have opted to join the military and several others will join the workforce. As usual, there’s a smorgasbord of degrees that will be pursued by Belle Plaine grads, ranging from nursing to culinary arts to animal science to business management to biology to political science to welding.

field wall. Johnson did get a ninth-inning at-bat, reaching on an error after chopping the first pitch he saw to third base. He came around to score as part of a mini-uprising that ended with the bases full. There’s two directions this instantly-fabled moment in Tiger history can go: either Nick will become known as “Moonlight” Johnson for his one moment under the sun or perhaps he will “Wally Pipp” Joe Hankins and start a streak of 2,130 consecutive games played. The chance to find out is yet another reason to always make it out to the ballpark. 2016 Town Tigers Schedule May 6 vs. St. Benedict W 9-6 May 8 at Shakopee L 10-0 May 13 at Arlington L 3-0 May 15 at Henderson L 10-6 May 17 vs. Mudcats L 11-1 May 20 vs. St. Peter W 8-2 May 22 at Chanhassen L 13-6 May 25 vs. Mn.

YOU Proud Beating Marshall in the fourth &RIDAY $ECEMBER ST 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.

Ask A Trooper by Sgt. Troy Christianson of the Minnesota State Patrol Question: How long does a speeding ticket and written warning ticket stay on your record? Answer: A written warning does not go on your driving record, but it is recorded in our computer system. Citations for speed, according to the Driver and Vehicle Services; speeding tickets generally stay on record for ﬁve years and serious speeds are 10 years. Each year, illegal or unsafe speed is one of the leading contributing factors in Minnesota’s fatal crashes. Costs of speeding violations vary by county, but typically are at least $120 for traveling 10 mph over the limit. Motorists stopped at 20 mph over the speed limit face double the ﬁne, and those

St. John Ice Cream Social June 15

ticketed traveling more than 100 mph can lose their license for six months. Speeding is not an innocent crime – it puts every motorist at risk on the road: – Greater potential for loss of vehicle control. – Increased stopping distance. – Less time available for driver response for crash avoidance. – Increased crash severity – the faster the speed, the more violent the crash. If you have any questions concerning trafﬁc-related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester MN 55901-5848. You can also reach him at, Troy.Christianson@state.mn.us.

St. Peter Bar Needs City’s Help With Better Bathrooms Patrick’s on Third Street in downtown St. Peter needs the city’s help with a bathroom expansion project. Owners of the bar and restaurant are seeking a $25,000 loan from the city to pay for most of a $40,679 restroom expansion plan. The long-delayed project, the St. Peter Herald recently reported, would expand both restrooms and also bring them into

compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The St. Peter Economic Development Authority (EDA) recommended approval of municipal participation in the potty project to the city council. The no-interest loan would be amortized over 10 years. The city is also considering changes to the loan program. One of the proposed changes is forgiving the ﬁnal $5,000.

gels, Kristin Liepold, Rachel Engel and Nick Pitlick. Goats are a new addition to the show this year. “We are excited about having a market and breeding meat goat show and supporting the showman across the state,” said Liepold. “With a growing popularity of competition and meat consumption, it only makes sense to add it to the showdown.” The committee welcomes youth ages 3-21 to participate in the showdown with a $20 per head entry fee. T-shirts will be available for sale. Sponsorship is available for awards or the overall show.

plans to add elliptical exercise equipment in the weight room. The district’s primary investment is with the new molded rubber flooring, a safety improvement, Laager said. The improved weight room is part of overall improvements targeted at academics, fine arts and the facilities. The district is implementing updated academic initiatives and is also planning new seating in the performing arts center next year. Laager’s presentation highlighted the successes the school’s students have enjoyed this year – from standing-roomonly presentations of the school play, a star rated one-act play, superior ratings in the fine arts, a variety of conference titles, a berth in the state football tournament, and a state championship in volleyball. “Successful people are much greater than a test score,” Laager told the audience of about 30 school staff and parents. “They are people who become well rounded through the development provided by athletics, the arts, activities and academics.” A committee that included Director Dan Giesen from the Belle Plaine School Board, Brett Kruschke, a community member and BPHS graduate, BPHS art teacher Carol Hannon-Orr, Pat Schultz, a BPHS teacher, coach and graduate, Kern and Kreft worked collectively with artists from BSN. Kreft said the group would share ideas with the artists via e-mail. The artists

would make adjustments, some large and some minute, until they reached consensus. “ The new tiger is strong, focused and ready for battle. It’s at attention and prepared to defend its turf,” Kruschke said. “It won’t back down from anyone or anything. Overall I think it gives our tiger a modern and identiﬁable look that should age well.” The new logos include the new proﬁle of a tiger, the cuddly tiger paws primarily geared toward elementary-schoolers, and the interlocking B.P. It is an updated version of the interlocking B.P. Paul Dressen, a 2001 Belle Plaine High School alum, created. “I couldn’t be a bigger fan of the interlocking BP. To me, it’s our signature and an absolute home run. It takes a homegrown BP logo that is already highly popular with Belle Plaine residents and updates it without losing any of its original charm,” Kruschke said. “It’s bigger and bolder, classic yet timeless, and it’s distinctly Belle Plaine more than anything else I could imagine.” Kreft said the committee never considered changing the school’s mascot to something better aligned with its colors. It also did not consider changing the colors to match its mascot. The new logo is also meant to be uniform and unifying, Kreft said. He noted the school has had three or four tiger logos since the late-1980s or 1990s that are still seen on occasion. The new logos and lettering are intended for consistent use on apparel when the district orders new uniforms.

sent agenda and approved without discussion. In other business Monday night, the council unanimously approved increased weekly hours (from 35 to 40) for the positions of staff accountant and office assistants (a total of three positions). “Based on the increased workload we have experienced at city hall, these positions often work more than 35 hours per week,” reported Interim City Administrator Dawn Meyer. “So, 40 hours per week has been included in the budget. There are no impacts to benefits as part of this change.” *Unanimously authorized a cooperative agreement with Scott County for public safety information and radio systems. Police Chief Tom Stolee reported that in 2015, Scott County purchased a new law enforcement public safety information system, which is designed to replace the current records management and computer-aided dispatch systems. Half of the cost of the new system is being paid for by Scott County with the rest being paid for by city and other participants based on the percentage of the population of each city. Belle Plaine’s share for 2016 is $2,642. *Unanimously approved the purchase of Dragon Professional software equipment for the police department at a cost of $11,180, which will improve efficiency in transcribing interviews and report writing in association with Scott County Emergency Services’ new software that will be implemented this summer. Also approved was staff’s request to purchase a license and necessary equipment for transcribing and minute taking at public meetings at a cost of $825. *Interim City Administrator Dawn Meyer reported that a bond rating call with Standard & Poor’s was held May 19 and the city received a confirmed rating of AA. Meyer said bond ratings are similar to credit ratings and can have an impact on interest rates, and that “the city’s AA rating affords it a good standing and lower interest rates.” While providing his report to the council on the bond sale for this year’s street and utility improvement project, Todd Hagen of the city’s financial advisor Ehlers and Associates reiterated what was in Meyer’s report in that city received a favorable bid on Monday morning for the sale. The low bidder for the $1,505,000 general obligation improvement bonds was United Bankers’ Bank in Bloomington with an interest rate of 1.5188 percent. The council unanimously accepted the sale, for which there were five bidders. *Unanimously accepted a cash donation of $4,700 from the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce to be used to pay half the cost for electrical up-

grades at Union Square Park by Gregory Electric. The quote for the work is $9,400. *Unanimously accepted a $549 donation from Belle Plaine Festival and Events to be used toward future expenses at the Belle Plaine Swimming Pool. *Unanimously approved a request by the Belle Plaine Lions Club for a large assembly permit for a Beep Ball Tournament to be held Aug. 7 at Tiger Park. The tournament will be a fundraiser for the blind. Beep Ball is played similar to baseball, but participants are blindfolded and the ball beeps to indicate its location. The Lions Club is working with the Minneapolis Millers to provide the material and organize teams for the event. *Unanimously approved a large assembly and road closure permit by Belle Plaine Festival and Events for this year’s annual Bar-B-Q Days celebration July 15-17. Also approved for the festival was the intoxicating liquor (strong beer) license for the beer garden. As for the large assembly permit for Bar-B-Q Days, Council Member Gary Trost inquired about the possibility of providing portable rest rooms along the parade route. The proposal will be forwarded to public works and the public safety committee for further consideration. *Unanimously approved pay request No. 3 by Chard Tiling for $470,295 for work on the 2016 street improvement project, pay request No. 5 by Hentges and Sons for $345,376 for work on the Enterprise Drive overpass project and pay request 5 by Chard Tiling for $16,845 for work on the 2015 street improvement project. The next regular meeting of the Belle Plaine City Council is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. June 20 in the City Hall building at 218 North Meridian Street downtown.

Bridge Work Progressing

City Engineer Joe Duncan reported Monday night that considerable progress has been made on the bridge project near the intersection of Highway 169 and County Road 3/Meridian Street. He said the cement for the deck was poured May 26 and that crews continue with steel reinforcement bar placement. “Road work will start up again in the next week or so, first with additional aggregate base, then concrete curb, gutter and walk, and finally bituminous paving and striping,” Duncan reported. “Detours and work zones will again appear as work resumes on West Commerce Drive and Meridian Street.” Duncan added that the contractor, Hentges and Sons, is on schedule for a late July or early August opening of the bridge to traffic. “Once open, crews will begin removing the turn lanes in the Highway 169 median,” Duncan continued. “The completion date for this project is Oct. 14.”

Foust continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They performed extremely well and everyone whom we expected to move on to state qualified. We even had some close third and fourth place finishers. We went to the section meet with 16 athletes and 15 are moving on to state in seven different events (includes alternates for relays). Those alternates have a tough role. They have about a 2 percent chance of competing but need to train and be ready just in case. That happened at the section meet as Jaylen Struck-Schmitz was called into action in the 4x200 to help a teammate (Schultz) who was still recovering from a previous race. She filled in admirably and helped qualify that relay to state.â&#x20AC;?

Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Results

Section at Mankato West The boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team standings were far more tighter as only 14 points separated first place from eighth place, the latter of which is where Belle Plaine

landed. St. James Area was first (see accompanying standings). The Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lone state-qualifier was the 4x100-meter relay team of Brenden Eyrich, Christian Roell, Ben Dvorak and Marcus Walsh. They placed first in a time of 44.51, which was 9/100th of a second ahead of Fairmont. Just missing out of qualifying for state for the Tigers by placing third were the 4x200 squad of Dvorak, Roell, Mason Ponath and Taylor Witt; and the 4x800 group of Brendan Mackedanz, Kellen Bergs, Dylan Bigaouette and Nate Loegering. Placing fifth was the 4x400 team of Witt, Mason Ponath, Max Ponath and Loegering. Other top 10 finishers for Belle Plaine Saturday were Loegering (fourth in the 400 dash), Roell (fifth in the 200 dash), Bergs (sixth in the 800 run), Ruben Baltierrez (sixth in the 300 hurdles), Dvorak (eighth in the pole vault), Kyle Siemon (ninth in the 3,200 run) and Elliot Rudd (10th in the 1,600 run). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having four relays with a shot to make it to state was really a tribute to our senior leadership,â&#x20AC;? said Tigers boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach Josh Otto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although everything didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go the way we wanted, our boys enjoyed their section experience and should be proud of everything they put into this team. These young men have definitely left the program better than it was when they got here. The leadership coming back next year learned a lot from this group and will continue to make the program better.â&#x20AC;?

Baseball Title, Qualify for State in 7 Events; Tigers On the Brink of State Boys’ 4x100 Relay Also State Bound by Dan Ruud Pitchers Brody Curtiss (three The Tigers had two outs in by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School girls’ track and field team will be represented at this week’s state Class 1A meet in seven events, including all four relays after running away with another Section 2A crown Saturday at Mankato West High School (see accompanying standings). Selin Dikmen will be in three of those events as the junior set a new section record in the 100meter hurdles with a time of 15:11, which was 15/100th of a second ahead of Katie Schilling of St. Peter, who will join Dikmen in the event at state. Dikmen also won the 300 hurdles in a time of 45.11, about threefourths of a second ahead of fellow state-qualifier Kim Scheffler of Le Sueur-Henderson. Dikmen was also a member of Belle Plaine’s victorious 4x100 relay team that took first place in a time of 49.83, which was more than a full second ahead of Blue Earth Area. Joining Dikmen on the squad are a trio of seniors – Jenna Gatz, Anna

Donkhong and Ally Fink. Finishing second and also qualifying for state were the 4x200 relay team of Taylor Kruger, Donkhong, Jaylen StruckSchmitz and Gatz in a time of 1:46.72 (Blue Earth Area was first in a section record time of 1:45.52); and the 4x800 team of Emily Berger, Lizzy Schmidt, Haley Leger and Alissa Schultz with a time of 9:35.48 (Fairmont was first in a section record time of 9:34.58). The Tigers placed third in the 4x400 relay but still qualified for state with a state standard time of 4:04.39. Blue Earth Area took first in a section record time of 3:59.54, followed by Fairmont in 4:04.32. Belle Plaine’s other state qualifier was Bridget Egan, who took second in the pole vault with a height of 10-10, breaking her own school record. Samantha Petry of Waterville-ElysianMorristown was first with a section record height of 11-01. Petry and Egan placed first and second in the event at both sec-

tion and state last year. Other top 10 finishers for the Tigers Saturday were Dikmen (third in the triple jump), McKenna Herrmann (third in the 800 run), Donkhong (fourth in the 100 dash), Gatz (fourth in the long jump), Kruger (fourth in the 400 dash), Struck-Schmitz (fifth in the 100 hurdles), Cassie Stolt (sixth in the 3,200 run) and Leger (seventh in the 400 dash). Jordan’s Jenna Kes captured both the long and triple jump titles. “Section 2A is an extremely tough section and our MRC schools were well represented at this meet,” said Belle Plaine girls’ coach Rich Foust. “One of the reasons for our successful performance at the section meet was our tough regular season schedule and constantly competing against top level

The Belle Plaine High School baseball team began this week nesting alone in the winner’s bracket of the Section 2AA Tournament, waiting to see which team surfaces from the loser’s bracket. Whatever team – No. 2 seed Fairmont, No. 5 Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop, No. 6 Tri-City United or No. 7 WatervilleElysian-Morristown – emerged after this edition of the Herald went to press Tuesday will need to beat the Tigers twice this Thursday to prevent Belle Plaine from making its first state tournament appearance in program history. Thursday’s action will get underway at 5 p.m. at Veteran’s Field in St. Peter. After earning a first-round bye, the Tigers, 22-1, won all three of their tournament games by shutout last week – 11-0 over Faribault Bethlehem Academy, 4-0 over Gibbon-FairfaxWinthrop and 6-0 over Tri-City United. The first two games were played in Belle Plaine and the latter in St. Peter, which is where the rest of the tournament is being played. Tigers 11, Faribault BA 0 Belle Plaine scored in all four innings it batted, including four runs in the first and third innings of a blowout that lasted barely an hour last Tuesday at Tiger Park.

innings), Wes Sarsland (one inning) and Jon Vinkemeier (one inning) combined for a no-hitter in a game that was stopped after 4 1/2 innings due to the 10-run mercy rule. The only Saints runner of the game was the result of a walk by Sarsland in the fourth inning. Luke Narveson and Mitchel Stier were both 3 for 3 at the plate for Belle Plaine, the former getting two doubles, three RBI and three runs scored, and the latter a double, two RBI and two runs scored. Nathan Herman added two doubles and two RBI, while Sarsland also collected two hits. Rounding out the Tigers’ 14-hit barrage with one apiece were Vinkemeier, Aiden Ladd, Jon Schmidt and Ryan Bremseth-Vining. “The boys came ready to play, which was good to see after a week-long layoff,” Schultz said. “Pitching, hitting and defense were all sharp and we will hopefully continue that as we progress in the playoffs.” Tigers 4, GFW 0 Two teams with only a combined three losses between them this season met at Tiger Park Thursday and it was a stalemate after the first two innings until Belle Plaine scored three runs in the bottom of the third on its way to a 4-0 win.

the pivotal third inning before singles by Narveson and Ladd were followed by doubles by Herman and Curtiss to plate three. Belle Plaine added one more in the bottom of the fourth on a triple by Vinkemeier, who then scored by way of a balk. Narveson and Curtiss both had two hits, the latter knocking in a run. Herman finished with two RBI. Also getting hits were Ladd and Sarsland. Stier pitched the entire game and did not allow a runner past second base, surrendering just four hits, one walk and one hit batter. He had five strikeouts. “This was a very fun, wellplayed game from both sides,” Schultz said. “We got the big hits and Stier shut down their strong offense. Our defense was very strong again all-around the diamond. Ryan BremsethVining continued his solid play at shortstop, including a nice double play to end the game.” Tigers 6, Tri-City United 0 Curtiss pitched the first six innings and did not allow a hit as Belle Plaine was able to make two runs in the second inning and four in the fifth stand up in what was its third shutout in as

RETIREMENT SALE New Book Spotlights Tiger Park Belle Plaine’s Tiger Park is one of a select group of baseball fields featured in “Town Ball Parks of Minnesota,” a new coffee-table book that explores the heritage of the state’s unique, historic and most beloved ballparks. To celebrate, the Belle Plaine town Tigers have invited author Todd Mueller to a book signing at Tiger Park during this Saturday’s game. The event will take place from 6:30-8:30 p.m. “Town Ball Parks of Minnesota” features 27 ballparks, ranging from a multi-million dollar sports complex to a rural field miles from any city and at the end of a dirt road — arguably

the state’s most remote ballpark. Border to border, Minnesota has over 300 town ball (amateur) teams. Over the course of several years and 2,500 miles, Mueller visited over 130 ballparks, from Detroit Lakes in the north to Winona in the south. The 230-page book features 500 photos, selected from over 20,000 images. It is the first book for Mueller, who lives in St. Paul. “Minnesota baseball officials claim there are more amateur
