Scott County Board Eyeing Local Option Sales Tax Hike Proposal Would Generate Estimated $6 Million for Projects, Transit

Hundreds of people enjoyed the comforts of true spring-like weather during Saturday’s St. Patrick’s festivities downtown.

Felicity Mecredy Crowned Miss Shamrock; McPartlans Receive Television Coverage A couple of McPartlan brothers led the parade and a Mecredy girl followed in the footsteps of her sister in becoming a Miss Shamrock. Those were just a couple of the highlights of Saturday’s Belle Plaine St. Patrick’s celebration downtown, which took place under sunny skies with temperatures well above normal, prompting some people to wear shorts and T-shirts. Felicity Mecredy was crowned Miss Shamrock by retiring Miss Shamrock Marisa Worrell. Mecredy’s sister, Jerusha, was crowned Belle Plaine Miss Shamrock in 2006. Ironically, it was Jerusha Mecredy (Zimmerman) who crowned Karen Worrell Miss Shamrock in 2007 and on Saturday Marisa Worrell crowned Felicity Mecredy. Mecredy, the daughter of David and Susan Mecredy, is joined in the 2015-16 Green Court by princesses Courtney Fogarty, daughter of Emmett and Karen Fogarty; Jenna Seaver, daughter of Randy and Patricia Seaver; and Alyssa Wentworth, daughter of Mike and Carol Wentworth. The latter princess is also a Belle Plaine German Days princess. This year’s Irish Lads were Carter Piche, Dylan O’Brien, Derek May and Joe Hankins.

The grand marshals of Saturday’s parade, Belle Plaine natives John and Tom McPartlan, received more media coverage than they ever thought they would. Fox 9 News caught wind of their story and brought their cameras to Saturday’s festivities. The feature, several minutes in length, aired across the Twin Cities region Saturday night. Besides showing John and Tom in the parade and other festivities, it also showed them walking through Sacred Heart Cemetery visiting graves of people they knew in Belle Plaine, including their sister, Betty Kroells, who died earlier this year. John, 78, and Tom, 80, and their sister, Margaret Meger of Belle Plaine, are the last of nine siblings still living. John and Tom currently live in Crystal, Minn., and Orchard Park, N.Y., respectively. John’s and Tom’s longtime spouses have passed away but they had plenty of family with them Saturday, some of whom came from quite a distance. John’s daughters Ellen and Anne came from Hartford, Conn., and Miami, Fla., respectively, while Tom’s daughter Robynn came from Hamburg,

With little money from current transportation funding proposals under review at the Minnesota Legislature seemingly headed this way, Scott County commissioners are considering adopting a local option that would generate an estimated $6 million annually. Commissioners are considering implementing an optional sales tax increase up to ½ percent on all taxable retail purchases made in Scott County. The additional revenue would be used to leverage state and federal funding for a predetermined list of potentially bigticket road projects the county can’t begin to fund on its own and the state doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to include in the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s budget.

“We’re not considering this because we really want to,” said Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township, Belle Plaine’s representative on the county board. “Nobody wants to consider a tax hike.” At a workshop yesterday morning (March 17), the Scott County Board discussed scheduling an informational presentation on the proposal and question-and-answer session at its April 7 meeting. Commissioners then plan to vote on the proposal at the April 21, meeting. Board meetings begin at 9 a.m. The state legislature gave counties the authority to enact a local option sales tax hike of up to ½ percent. Commissioners discussed it preliminarily last year, but the issue was left to simmer since then. County Administrator Gary Shelton said citizen reaction at that meeting and during online discussions the county hosted have been at least conditionally favorable, with many participants support-

B.P. School Board Facing Costly Projects by 2020 Roofs, Athletic Facilities Will Require Deficit Spending

New Miss Shamrock Felicity Mecredy

As its buildings and facilities age, the need for upkeep is testing the Belle Plaine School Board’s willingness to dip into its financial reserves while considering other ways to pay for expensive capital projects. At Monday evening’s (March 9) workshop, the board discussed an imbalance between funding received and capital wants and needs in the next few years. It’s a list of projects and commitments that exceeds the formula-driven revenue based on enrollment and the age of Belle Plaine School District facilities. The district receives about $407,000 in state aid for operating capital. But the spending under consideration for capital projects and deferred maintenance for 2014-15 is just shy of

$594,000. The district plans to spend down operating capital reserves from $611,979 to $425,784. “Obviously, that can’t continue,” Superintendent Kelly Smith said. A big chunk of the capital spending, almost $291,000, covers payments on district wide technology – the wireless network, iPad minis, other computers and maintenance – the board approved last year as well as energy-efficiency projects completed in 2007. The school board is also facing significant roof and athletic facilities maintenance projects in the next few years. Smith was optimistic some relief in the form of additional funding for capital maintenance projects might come from the legislature. A few bills offering increases for maintenance funding were offered early in the session. But he told school board members Monday there

Public Hearing on RightScott County Hosting of-Way Plat for Bridge Open House on Road Project Next Monday Repairs in Blakeley Twp. The Belle Plaine City Coun- acquisition of 702 South MeScott County is hosting an open house tomorrow (Thursday, March 19) to update area residents on plans to improve roadways damaged by a torrential rainfall last spring. It will be held at the Belle Plaine Public Library at 125 Main Street W. from 6-8 p.m. The purpose of the open house is to give residents an opportunity to review and comment on the new alignment of County Road 60 before it is finalized. Historic rainfalls occurred Belle Plaine native Wayne Meger was emcee of Saturday’s post-parade program downtown.

June 19 in the Minnesota River bluffs in Blakeley Township. The heavy rains caused County Road 60 road bed slope failure and erosion with loss of road bed shoulder and embankment failure. The open house will present the latest information on the cleanup and proposed improvements to County Road 60. The county has approved a proposal to repair to County Road 60 on a new alignment. For additional information, call Jake Balk, project manager (952-496-8436), or Curt Kobilarcsik, assistant county highway engineer (952-496-8345).

cil will hold a public hearing shortly after 6:30 p.m. next Monday (March 23) regarding the right-of-way for plat No. 4 for the proposed bridge over Highway 169 near County Road 3/Meridian Street. The necessary property for the right-of-way involves pieces of land owned by Phil Morris, Robert and Lois Hafermann, Chatfield on the Green and the city of Belle Plaine, the latter of which owns most of the affected property for the right-ofway. In November, the council okayed a purchase agreement with Eric and Lisa May for the

ridian Street for $277,000 for replacement housing and relocation costs. The property is part of the right-of-way for the proposed bridge project. The plan involves the construction of a bridge over Highway 169. However, rather than build it at the point where County Road 3 directly intersects with Highway 169, it would be located a short distance down the southbound lane of Highway 169 with access from West Commerce Drive on the north side of Highway 169 and County Road 3 on the south side. The city is hopeful that construction of the bridge can begin this fall.

Settling In Father Brian Lynch, who recently became the new parochial administrator at Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic Church and School in Belle Plaine, joined a gathering following Mass last Tuesday morning (March 10) in the OLP Parish Hall. Father Lynch was born in New York City on Oct. 7, 1968 and attended Pennsylvania State University, where he studied material science. He eventually decided to study to become a priest and was ordained May 27, 2006 at the Cathedral of St. Paul by Archbishop Harry Flynn. In his church biography, Father Lynch explains that while in graduate school, he met â&#x20AC;&#x153;some very dedicated, hard workingâ&#x20AC;? international students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing their passion led me to the question, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what could I do that I would be motivated and excited to do?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It was then that I started to think about becoming a priest.â&#x20AC;? Father Lynch replaces Father Michael Kaluza, who left OLP in 2014 for a new assignment at Devine Mercy Catholic Church and School in Faribault. Father Lynch came to Belle Plaine after several years at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Stillwater.

State award finalist Andrea Hahm has been teaching at Trinity Lutheran Elementary School for a dozen years. She currently teaches first- and second-graders.

Trinity Lutheran Teacher A Finalist for State â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Honorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Award When she was at home on a maternity leave from her teaching job at Trinity Lutheran last year, Andrea Hahm unsuccessfully fought the temptation to call school and check in on how her students were doing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She knew that all was well, but when you care as much as Mrs. Hahm does, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but to check in and make sure from time to time,â&#x20AC;? said Daniel Whitney, Trinity Lutheranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principal. Hahm, who teaches first- and second-graders at Trinity Lutheran, is one of six finalists for the Minnesota Independent School Federation (MISF) Honor Teacher Award. The federation received 33 nominations for the honor this year. It will present two honor teacher awards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one to a teacher teaching kindergarten through eighth-graders and one to a teacher of ninth-graders through high school seniors April 26 in a ceremony from 4-7 p.m. in James B. Woulfe Alumni Hall on the University of St. Thomas St. Paul campus. MISFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criteria for the award includes integrity, fairness, compassion, and excellence. Brenda Kappel, the MISFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of membership and networking, said an honor teacher creates and drives creativity and innovation in students. The award goes to an educator who displays passion for students and education, achieves exceptional and measurable outcomes, instills leadership by example and demonstrates personal growth and community service/involvement, she said. MISF represents 157 private

and parochial schools educating just over 33,000 students statewide, Kappel said.

The Nominee

Whitney knows all about Hahmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to teaching and helping her students grow academically and spiritually. He nominated her for the award. Whitney has been working with Hahm for 10 years. He describes her as a teacher whose attitude is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What can I do to help?â&#x20AC;? She began working on her masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree aiming at teaching the exceptional child, Whitney said. Hahm was concerned about identifying and helping young children with special needs, Whitney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She did this while raising a family and teaching full-time. She is tireless when it comes to her teaching,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her dedication and love for children is exceptional.â&#x20AC;? A 12-year classroom veteran, Hahm enjoys teaching the full array of subjects, but focuses on reading. She sees reading as a gateway toward the other academic disciplines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have trouble reading, it affects everything,â&#x20AC;? She said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you see that light bulb go on, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an awesome feeling.â&#x20AC;? In her classroom, Hahm has words and artwork stressing reading hanging from the ceiling. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a comfortable reading corner in the classroom. Students have iPads with a variety of apps installed. She uses an interactive whiteboard and many other tools to bring reading alive. She takes her stu-

Whitney wrote in his letter to the MISF nominating Hahm. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that genuine concern for her students, coupled with a staunch work ethic and powerful faith that has made Hahm a valued member of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff and one of the top private

Carver County OKs Early Steps to Acquire Waconiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coney Island Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an early step in what could be a lengthy and intricate process for the transfer of ownership of Coney Island on Lake Waconia, but Carver County commissioners began laying the groundwork to acquire the property. The county board recently OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d an altruistic contribution and promise to purchase the island and funding for its cleanup from the Norman and Ann Hoffman Foundation. The county, through the Metropolitan Council, will eventually acquire the funding to purchase the island from the Hoffman. In a complex arrange with the foundation and the Trust for Public Land, the county will eventually receive $900,000 contribution to clean up and improve the island. The Hoffmans have agreed to

sell the island for 75 percent of its appraised value, the Chaska Herald recently reported. A 25 percent local match is required, which the Hoffmans have agreed to cover. Once the acquisition is complete, Carver County will complete and approve a park and trail master plan for the 30-acre isle. Potential uses include hiking, camping, backpacking, picnicking, wildlife observation and historical interpretation. Uses of Coney Island date back to the 1880s when it was developed and hotels made the island a fashionable summertime getaway. The University of Minnesota conducted football practices on the island between 1903 and 1905. By the late 1950s, the island was vacant.

Le Sueur County Sheriff Aims to Trim Jail Medical Costs

Hoping to trim the cost of health care it must provide offenders in its jail, the Le Sueur County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office is looking for a company to provide mental and physical care services. The county sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office spent â&#x20AC;&#x153;tens of thousands of dollarsâ&#x20AC;? on medical assessments and treatment last year, said Mitch Overn, administrator of the Le Sueur County Jail. That amount doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include the cost of staff time or mileage transporting an offender to a health care facility. The sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office is reviewing proposals from vendors

with the qualifications and staff to handle assessments and care needs of offenders. Sheriff David Tietz believes the chosen provider could help the county enjoy significant savings, the Le Center Leader recently reported. The provider could offer around-the-clock care at a higher level and lower cost than county staff. Most offenders arrive at the jail without health-care coverage. Tietz said between 30 and 40 percent of the offenders in the jail have some form of mental of medical health care need. Their conditions also limit where the offenders can be housed within the county jail.

Complete Adult or Child Check Up New Patients Special $75 Exam, Cleaning (routine) & 4 X-ray Films or $50 off any Dental Service

Picking the enthusiasm of a candidate whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hopefully grow professionally in his first job in local government over a more seasoned professional who may not stick around as long before moving on to a job in a larger community, the Cologne City Council picked Jesse Dickson as its next administrator Monday evening. The councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personnel committee and its attorney will negotiate a contract with Dickson. Council members discussed a starting salary around $55,000 or $60,000. The council is planning to OK the contract at a special meeting Monday eve-

ning (March 23, 7 p.m.). Dickson graduated from Winona State in 2013 with a degree in political science and public administration. He has since worked at First Choice Merchant Services in La Cross, Wis. as a sales representative. During a recess in Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (March 16) meeting, Mayor Scott Williams and council members called Dickson and offered him the job. He enthusiastically accepted. The council OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d the commencement of contract talks and a background check. They expect Dicksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting annual salary will be about

$60,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; possibly less to allow growth following a successful performance review after six months on the job. The council also OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d its attorney conducting a background check on Dickson. He was one of three finalists the council selected but did not identify until just before the trio was interviewed last week. The other two were Adrian Welle, the finance, human resources director and clerk for Mexico Beach, Fla., and Karin Elhard. She last served as administrator/clerk-treasurer for the City of Blackduck, Minn.

Sales Tax Hike (continued from page 1) ing the proposal for transportation over transit. The proposal calls for the county to approve a list of projects the revenue from the local optional tax would support. Once the projects are funded and completed, the additional sales tax would sunset. Commissioners reviewed a preliminary list of projects at the workshop. The list did not include cost estimates. It includes an interchange at the junction of highways 169 and 41, a westward extension of County Road 8 from Highway 21 south of Jordan to Highway 169, and an interchange at highways 282 and 169 in Jordan. Other projects include a frontage road system along Highway 169, bridges along County Road 17 south of Shakopee, intersection improvements at the intersection of Highway 13 and County Road 21 in Prior Lake. The list also includes a six-lane intersection at the junction of Highway 13 and County Road 42 in Savage, a frontage road along a section of Highway 13 in Prior Lake, an interchange along Highway 13 and Chowen Avenue in Savage. The county is also considering $1 million

annually in transit operations. The county will use the annual money -- $6 million based on 2012 estimates -- to fund a portion of the projects. It expects the state and federal governments will be more open to funding a portion of the projects if the county brings some of its own money to the table, said Lezlie Vermillion, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy administrator. Currently, the county only levies just over $4 million annually for road and bridge funding. That money goes for pavement preservation, Vermillion said. Wagner is generally supportive of the proposal as long as the sunset phrase is clarified. He told the other commissioners they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live long enough to finish the list of projects with a $6 million of annual sales tax revenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little dishonest to use that phrase,â&#x20AC;? he said. Lisa Freese, a transportation planner, said the list can be reduced or modified at any time, as long as the board holds a public hearing and votes on any adjustments. Commissioner Tom Wolf of Credit River was opposed to the list, noting the majority of

the work was in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest cities. He said there are many projects in his district that have been waiting for funding. Other commissioners, Mike Beard of Shakopee, Jon Ulrich of Savage and Barbara Marschall of Prior Lake generally supported the proposal or did not take a definite stand on it.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Thirty Years Ago This Week

The administration of the Belle Plaine School District was recommending to the school board that a 4-mill referendum be offered to voters sometime prior to Oct. 10 when taxes would be levied for the next school year. School Superintendent John Bartholow said a referendum for 4 mills would raise $130,487.62. He added that without the extra money, cuts would have to be made. The spring flooding of the bottom lands came a few weeks earlier than usual. High water closed the Blakeley crossing on March 17. The 50-degree temperatures of the past week had turned all the remaining snow into water. Unless there was considerable more precipitation, flood damage in 1985 was expected to be minimal. Incumbent Supervisor Orville Kahle garnered 54 votes to win another three-year term as a supervisor on the Blakeley Township Board, while Arnold Woestehoff received 81 of 84 votes to become treasurer. The township’s road and bridge levy was set at $17,000. In St. Lawrence Township, Harvey Anderson won a twoyear term as treasurer by barely defeating Mrs. Janice Thissen by one vote (29-28). Ted Kornder received one vote. The annual road and bridge levy was set at $9,500. In Belle Plaine Township, Ronald Solheid was elected to his first three-year term as supervisor and Sylvester Glisczinski was reelected treasurer. In Faxon Township, John Morrison was reelected as supervisor and Judy Wentworth won the treasurer job. Others elected in area township elections included Edwin Harms and Gerald Scott (San Francisco supervisors); Pat Anderly (supervisor) and Donald Monohan (treasurer) in Jessenland Township. The Blakeley Cooperative Elevator suffered a loss of $62,000 in the past year, which was reported at the coop’s annual meeting on March 9 at Belle Plaine Elementary School. Lyle Muehlenhardt was elected to replace Cy Goettl, who had served on the co-op’s board for 12 years. Manley Vinkemeier was reelected to a second term. The board’s president was W.E. Schense and the co-op manager was Willard Cameron. A program designed to help parents educate their children about sex would be offered that coming spring by the Belle Plaine Community Services Department. The four-part program called “Young Love: How to Talk to Your Kids About You Know What,” would be held at the junior high school. Veronica Meger, 88, of New Prague, passed away on March 17 at her home. Mrs. Meger was born Aug. 22, 1896 in Lexington Township to John and Mary (Sweida) Schipprett. She married John D. Meger on Oct. 24, 1916 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Lexington. Thomas J. Shaughnessy, 84, of Belle Plaine, passed away March 17 at Queen of Peace Hospital in New Prague. Mr. Shaughnessy was born March 28, 1900 in Le Sueur County, Derrynane Township, to Thomas J. and Bridget (Sullivan) Shaughnessy. He married Evelyn Hallinan on July 16, 1928 at St. Thomas Catholic Church,

Masquerading as a leprechaun, he chatted with this youngster and many other people during the day. Jessenland. He farmed in Le Sueur County. Margaret A. Stoffa, 65, passed away March 11 at Fort Carson Hospital, Colorado Springs, Colo. The former Margaret Schmitt was born in Belle Plaine on April 13, 1919. Her parents were Joseph E. and Anna (Dietz) Schmitt. She lived in Colorado Springs since 1953.

60 Years Ago (1955)

At the local declamatory contest, the judges voted Edith Rebers the winner in oratory, Kathy Minton and Curtis Clayton in humorous, and Bill Kruschke and Kathy Flaherty in the dramatic section. The state highway department let contract in the sum of $984,647 to Anderson & Sons for construction of the 9.8 miles from the Oldenburg farm, 1 1/2 miles southwest of Belle Plaine, to Jordan. Owing to ill health, John O’Leary decided to retire from farming and sold his 146 acres in Belle Plaine Township to Mr. Roach of near Farmington. The borough ballot showed several contests. Clyde Bristol and Clarence F. Mueller were competing for the office of mayor. Competing for the two vacancies for the three-year term on the council were Arthur Schmidt, George Smith and Robert Sass. For the two-year council term, one to be elected, were Peter Melchior and Orville Martin. For justice of the peace, it was Henry Ruehling and William C. Holz. R.J. Effertz was unopposed for treasurer.

most people lived on the farms. A small one-room school was built on a parcel in the center of about four sections. Now most people live in town, and are being asked to pay the least. Tax fairness is the real issue on this ambitious new school project. It is just too expensive to ask the farmers to pay for most of it. To get real, the only way to fund this is if everyone is to be assessed a portion of their yearly income, then it would be fair. There must have been some smart people who came up with this grossly unfair bond issue knowing full well, something wasn't right here. We need to start over, and come up with a better way to fund this school bond so that it would be more fair to everyone. There is currently a bill in the Minnesota Legislature to fix this equalization issue. House File No. 596 Richard Bartlow Jessenland Twp.

Rotary Club to Hold Pancake Feed to Benefit Food Shelf, Cardinal Ridge Residents The Belle Plaine Rotary Club will hold a Pancake Breakfast at St. John Lutheran Church in Belle Plaine from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 22. All proceeds from the breakfast will be donated to the Belle Plaine Food Shelf and to residents of the Cardinal Ridge Apartments to assists with the costs of their transition to a remodeled facility. Supplemental funding for this event will be provided by the Southern Dakota-Scott County

Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. The Belle Plaine Rotary Club has been a strong supporter of the Belle Plaine Food Shelf since the facility opened its doors. In February 2012, the club donated over $11,000 in refrigerator and freezer equipment. As part of this donation, $5,600 was raised by the Belle Plaine Rotary Club with assistance from fellow clubs in District 5960. These funds were matched by those for a final donation of $11,200.

Dear Editor, Taxation equalization should be front and center I don't think that the majority of citizens in the Sibley East School District understand the gross unfairness of the present school bond issue. The farmers are being assessed on their land to pay for over two thirds of this bond. The farmers' land is their yearly source of income, which varies greatly depending on commodity prices, which are now well below the cost of production. So then, why isn't everyone being assessed on their yearly income? That would be fair. The farmers' land is also their source of retirement income. Just think if everyone else were being asked to be assessed on their 401Ks and other sources of retirement income. This tax formula was created in the 1800s when farmland was the only real source of revenue to build a public school since

Letter to the Editor

Henry Leikmam of Hancock Township had his hand very severely cut while working about the sawmill. John Behles, banker of Garrison, N.D., stopped off for a visit with his sister, Mrs. John Schommer, while returning from a vacation in Florida. The old Schneiderhan farm at the east side of Belle Plaine Township was sold. Phil Hartman took 200 acres, Joe Deutsch 20 acres and M. Eischens 10 acres. John Horan, 59, former resident of this community, died in St. Paul, where he was engaged in railroad work. His remains were brought to his old parish home of St. John’s for burial. A.J. Irwin and Fred Kruschke left for Hubbard County to put in readiness “Crow Wing Camp,” which they planned to operate that coming summer. Victor Ettienne, who made his home with the Roy Chards, had a reputation as a sprinter. When he announced that he would run from Belle Plaine to Jordan, quite a number of cars were on hand to follow him. He made the run of 8.3 miles in 51 minutes. John Early, who was born at Assumption in 1863, died in Minneapolis, at which city he had moved to upon his marriage to Mary O’Donnell of Arlington. Andrew Sell, who had been making his home with his sister, Mrs. Anna Brahee at West Union, departed for Bemidji to live. Michael Moriarty, Belle Plaine High School student, was becoming known as a boy orator. He won his third contest, the regional at Waseca, and his next hurdle would be the state contest.

Maggie Weiers, granddaughter of Flavian and Edna Weiers is a senior on the team with 1,400 career points. The team won their game Friday night

over Hope College, MI. They were down to the Elite Eight on Saturday night and were paired up against Thomas More University from Kentucky. The St. Thomas womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopes fell short after two team members were out with season ending injuries, and a second half of the game with fouls and free throws for the Thomas More team. The game ended with a score of 75-58. Many of the St. Thomas teams families made the trip to Kentucky to watch the 30 win-0 loss team play. For eight seniors on the team this trip was bittersweet, the last game of their college careers. Humor Corner: Little Johnny woke up on Palm Sunday not feeling well and stayed home from church. When his family returned they were carrying palm branches. Johnny asked what they were for, too young to remember from last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People held them over Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head as he walked by,â&#x20AC;? his father explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you know it,â&#x20AC;?

Want to Buy a Hotel? The Broz in New Prague is For Sale

Four years after she bought and began restoring the Hotel Broz, Caroline Amplatz has placed the hotel for sale. Amplatz placed the local landmark on West Main Street up for sale after discovering her passion for restoring the 1898 hotel, restaurant and its kitchen to its former grandeur is greater than her desire to operate it on a daily basis, according to a press release. Craftsmen have been working to restore the 13-room hotel and restaurant that seats 126 people, the New Prague

Times recently reported. The property has gained value since Amplatz bought it. The hotel was purchased for $469,000 in 2011, according to Le Sueur County property records. The previous year, she bought the lot next to the hotel, on which a house was located, for $285,000. According to the Le Sueur County assessorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, the hotel was valued at just over $1.01 million for taxation in 2014 and the house property was valued at $426,000.

Featured speaker:

a set of Burns brothers, cuz that was just a start, Another Timothy J. and an Edward. Bless all their Catholic, Irish Hearts. As they raised their family, Tim and Alice tried to right the wrongs. They set by their examples, their prayers and their songs. Thankful for the happy times, thankful for good health. Thankful for them one-by-one, thankful for each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help. For years, the sun rose at Jimmy Reganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, at Patrick Byrneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it would set. For years, we were raising kids, lookinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; backâ&#x20AC;Śtiz just a speck. Alice taught the girls to sew, to cook, to clean and to garden. Taught them how to talk, an act, an mannersâ&#x20AC;Ś like begginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; your parden. Tim taught the lads about the farm, with a lot of help from Mil. She helped teach them to mind, and they respect her still. Workinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hard, an playinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hard, together much time was spent. And with the blinking of the yard light, many fellers went. All the grand racket, in my memory is so clear, From the slamming of the screen door, to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;put-putâ&#x20AC;? of the John Deereâ&#x20AC;Ś The rhythm of the pumpâ&#x20AC;Ś the barking dog when compâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ny came. Cousins from the cities, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget Ret and Mayme. (They never fought or swore. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have you think. If I had a tongue, it would be in my cheek, if I had an eye Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wink.) Peaceful times were after sunset, after chores... at the closing of the day. After Tim walked across the yard, we could hear them pray. They came oneby-one, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how they would go. After each wedding reception in this yard, another daughter left this home. Sad times were the funerals, Tim, his brother Pat, and Laraine. Many tears were shed for ones weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never see again. Tizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;lookinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; back, happiness canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be foundâ&#x20AC;?. Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take my chances. A lonely Alice left one day, and returned with Billy and Frances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m goneâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Alice used to say. We knew she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leavinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. But let me tell you somethinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; folksâ&#x20AC;Ś that thought is so deceivinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Down went my companions, now I stand alone. Now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just a windmill. We used to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;Downhome.â&#x20AC;? But every now and then I hearâ&#x20AC;Ś a laughâ&#x20AC;Ś a yellâ&#x20AC;Ś what that? ...a cuss! And look whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down there nowâ&#x20AC;Ś a kickinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; up a fuss. Another set of Burns brothersâ&#x20AC;Ś Ron, Tim, Pat and Dan. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been around a long, long time, I truly love this clan. If Tim and Alice were still here, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks for stoppingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inâ&#x20AC;?. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wave â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;til you were out of sight, sayinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please, come again.â&#x20AC;? All that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve observed, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not just an antique fixture, And I try to stand a little taller when someone takes my picture. Loni-1997

By Dr. Kelly Smith

Based on the popular film, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS is set in the colorful world of the French Riviera where casino culture is rife. Master con-artist Lawrence Jameson makes a living tricking old, rich ladies into giving him their money. When an American rival, Freddy, arrives on the French coast, he challenges the status quo and Lawrence’s position as chief con-artist is threatened. They decide the town just isn’t big enough for the two of them and challenge each other to a bet; the first one to swindle $50,000 wins. As they both take on the bet, they fall for the same woman, but quickly realize that they may have bitten off more than they can chew.

Congratulations to our FFA competition team members who had an outstanding day last week in the Regional competition. Here are the results from our high school team members: Ag Mechanics team placed 2nd and qualified for state. Team members were Dan Wyman( 4th place individually), Wyatt Herrmann (6), Andrew Hillstrom (10th), Jack Wyman and Brandon Heitz; Prepared Public Speaking: Caitlyn Schoon placed 1st in regions and will be competing at State; Job Interview: Emily Smith placed 1st in regions and will be competing at State; Sam Schmidt also submitted an application and interview for Proficiency in Agricultural Sales and was named the Region Winner. His application will compete at State in mid March; FFA Creed Speaking: Levi Schmidt placed 2nd and qualified for state as well. Great job everyone and good luck at the state competition! Congratulations to Adaptive Floor Hockey team members Trisha McGovern and Alexis Parks for their success at the recent State Floor Hockey Tournament in Bloomington. Belle Plaine partners with New Prague, Jordan, LeSueur-Henderson and Tri-City United for this program. After claiming the state title last year, our team earned fourth place this year going 1-2 in the tournament. Congratulations on a great finish to your season! Belle Plaine hosted the MN River Conference Speech Meet last night and three Belle Plaine entries earned All-Conference status -Alec Lorenz in Story Telling, Max Hughes in Discussion, and Felicity McCredy & Patrick Selly in Dramatic Duo. Congratulations to everyone on a job well done! At recent board meetings, we have had discussions about possible options for an auditorium facility in Belle Plaine. We have contracted with an architect to review the feasibility of four different options within the district and to provide cost estimates of each of the four options. The options that are being looked at are an addition to the current District Center (site of our current Performing Arts Center), an addition to the JH-SH building on the south side of the building, an addition on to Oak Crest Elementary on the southeast corner of the building, and a stand alone building on the site of the future high school. Our architect will be presenting information about these options and the costs of each at our board meeting on Monday, March 23 at 6 p.m. The legislative session continues to roll along with final policy bill introductions wrapping up this week. Among the hot topics this past week were the discussion of teacher lay-off procedures and Last In First Out (LIFO). The house has already approved a bill changing the LIFO method of teacher layoffs and the Senate heard a similar bill this past week. This topic has been a top issue for the Republicans for several years and a Democratic Senator introduced the bill in the Senate this year so it is going to be interesting to watch this item as the session moves toward closure.

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.

at House in NYA A man and a woman were found dead Wednesday afternoon (March 11) at a house in Norwood Young America in what Carver County Sheriff’s deputies are considering a probable murder-suicide. At approximately 5:07 p.m., sheriff’s deputies responded to a death investigation at 920 Preserve Blvd. in Norwood Young America. The reporting party, a roommate at the residence, found the dead man -- Milo Willis Leistiko, 51 -in the garage and immediately called 9-1-1. Deputies arrived and began their investigation. During a search of the residence, they discovered a deceased woman -- Lanaea Ann Harrison, 23 -hidden in a plastic waterfowl decoy bag. She had suffered

a gunshot wound to the head. They also said the man in the garage suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Preliminary investigative information suggests Leistiko and Harrison were involved in a romantic relationship, said Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson. The evidence found at the scene indicates Leistiko shot and killed Harrison and placed her body in a waterfowl decoy bag before turning the gun on himself and taking his own life. The time of death has not yet been determined, but initial information suggests murdersuicide happened on March 11, 2015. This matter remains under investigation by the Carver County Sheriff’s Office and BCA.

St. Peter Schools Voters OK $58 Million Bond Issue Voters in the St. Peter School District granted the request for a $58.6 million school improvement project last week. Fifty-four percent of voters supported the district’s proposal. It passed 2,301 to 1,982. School board members thanked the community for its support. “We’re really pleased with the size of the turnout. We believe the outcome reflects the will of the people,” said Mark Karlsrud, chairman of the St. Peter School Board. Superintendent Paul Peterson thanked the community for its courage supporting the referendum. The referendum’s passage will allow the district to enact long-term solutions for its growth, Peterson said. The St. Peter Herald recently reported the referendum was intended

to allow the district to build a new high school and transform South Elementary to a school for kindergartners and firstgraders. North Intermediate School will be transformed into a center for second- through fourth-graders while the current middle school/high school building will be used as a middle school. Those opposed to the referendum were disappointed in the outcome. Members of a group called St. Peter Citizens for Progress believe voters will have “buyers remorse” when the tax impact of the referendum becomes apparent. The newspaper reported Robert Meyer, an Oshwa Township resident, the group’s treasurer, called the outcome, “utterly disgusting.”

Appeals Court Says Sibley East Didn’t Break Spirit of State Law A month after it upheld Sibley East’s referendum vote, the Minnesota Court of Appeals issued its opinion supporting that ruling. A three-judge panel ruled against Nathan Kranz’s appeal that the district’s $43.05 million referendum should be nullified is based upon a previous Minnesota Supreme Court ruling, the Gaylord Hub recently reported. The bond will fund a new elementary school in Gaylord and an expanded and renovated secondary building

in Arlington. Kranz, of rural Gaylord, appealed to the Minnesota Appeals Court after a district court rejected his claim. This week in district court, a hearing will be held on whether Kranz should have to pay the school district’s $40,000-plus in court costs. The court ruled the being one day tardy in publishing documents did not surpass a threshold of fraud, bad faith or a constitutional violation. The appeals court’s written ruling said

Sibley County Board OKs Contract for New Administrator

Sibley County has a new administrator who can get ready to begin now that the county board approved an employment agreement. Last Tuesday (March 10). The county board approved by a 4-1 vote, Sibley County’s contract with its new administrator, Roxy Traxler. She’ll begin work in Sibley County April 13 after leaving her job as Mille Lacs County’s administrator. Commissioner Bobbie Harder of Henderson Township cast the lone vote against the agreement. The contract the board approved is similar to the agreement commissioners had with their former administrator, Matt Jaunich, said Commissioner Jim Swanson of Gaylord, chairman of the county board’s search committee. Jaunich left last year to take a position with the City of Hutchinson. Traxler will begin with an annual salary of $104,000, a cut from the $117,000 she earns as Mille Lacs County administrator. Swanson said the willingness to take a reduction reflects Traxler’s desire to move back to the area. She grew up in Le Sueur and her husband is from Arlington, Swanson said. The county board set a maximum contract amount of

NAMI Support Group Meets Twice a Month NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill), Scott County, has an adult support meeting on the first and third Wednesday of each month from 6:30-8 p.m. in the Anchor Center at the Valley Green Workforce Building, 750 Canterbury Road, Shakopee. The meeting is for family members and those living with the illness. It’s facilitated by a trained mental health professional. For more information, call Kevin at 952-496-8513 or Janet at 952-890-1669.”

$105,000 when it began the search for Jaunich’s replacement. Traxler shall be subject to a performance evaluation after six months on the job. Commissioners, at their discretion, may increase her annual salary after her six-month performance evaluation, according to her contract. At the completion of a year on the job and thereafter at the end of each calendar year, the board will evaluate Traxler’s work. The county board may change and adjust Traxler’s salary after each evaluation. She will begin her employment with the county with 80 hours of banked vacation time and 80 hours of sick time. After six months on the job, Traxler’s vacation time will increase by 40 hours. The county is paying her a $3,500 moving allowance. The contract states the board can terminate the pact with 90 days notice. Harder opposed the contract because it is about $12,000 dollars above the minimum wage for the position. “No one else (hired) in the county gets the same deal,” she said. Swanson said Traxler’s strengths rest in organization, economic development, union negotiations and comparable

worth. “She’s been through all that. She’s pretty well-rounded,” he said. “It’s not just one thing.”

Vote for Traxler

After a 3-2 vote Feb. 24, the board offered Traxler the job and began contract negotiations through its consultant, Springsted Inc. Commissioners Joy Cohrs of New Auburn Township, Jim Swanson of Gaylord and Pinske of Arlington voted in favor of hiring Traxler. Harder and Commissioner Gary Kruggel of Winthrop favored Curt Kephart, the current administrator in Iowa County, Wis. He was the alternative candidate to Traxler. Traxler said she’s “excited to get started.” Traxler has been the Mille Lacs County administrator since 2006 and has 13 years as city and county administrative experience. She worked in Le Sueur County for one year as the county coordinator and received a bachelor’s degree in environmental science from Mankato State University, and received her master’s of public administration (MPA) from Minnesota State University, Mankato. She also has an master’s of business administration (MBA) from College of St. Scholastica, Duluth.

Cologne’s Roger Storms and Bruce Elwell with Herb Lins who accepted the International Gladiolus Hall of Fame award honoring his father, E.H. Lins.

Cologne’s E. H. Lins Inducted Into the Gladiolus Hall of Fame Forty-eight years after his death, E.H. Lins, a life-long resident of Cologne, was remembered and honored Jan. 22 when he was inducted into the International Gladiolus Hall of Fame for his outstanding achievement in hybridizing gladiolus and for contributing significantly to the betterment of the gladiolus world. The youngest of his 14 children, Herb Lins, accepted the award at the 70th Convention of the North American Gladiolus Council (NAGC), held this year in Fort Myers, Fla. E. H. Lins was a leading hybridizer of both gladiolus and peonies for over 40 years in the middle of the 20th century. He was born in Shakopee May 13, 1894 and when he was 3 years old, his parents moved to Cologne. When he was 17, his father became seriously ill and he had to take over co-management of the Lins & Kocher Meat Market, a relationship he maintained until his death in 1967. Lins was a graduate of the Minneapolis School of Business. He married Mary Amanda Guettler in 1920. Her father and his brothers were owners of the mill in Cologne. That same year, Lins began growing glads and peonies as a hobby. This developed into a large, commercial business, as he sold his glads and peonies locally and shipped them everywhere, even overseas. Using the photos he took of his glad varieties, he created catalogs for his flower business. He sent out thousands of catalogs, and the descriptions he wrote about his glads reflected the passion he had for growing them. Bruce Elwell, the eastern regional vice president of the NAGC, recalled that Mr. Lins’ glad cultivar, Stoplight, was easily the best early blooming, deep scarlet, cut flower during the 1940s and 1950s. He was known for black reds, like Congo, and a heavily ruffled orange he named Mainliner. His beautiful lavender Hit Parade, which he introduced in 1957, has been in the Hall of Fame since 1995. Elwell remembered that E. H. Lins encouraged fellow hybridizers to develop unusual glads. Rose Lins Doffing, daughter of Lins, remembered her father’s Hit Parade very well. She described it as a lovely lavender with ruffles and a creamy white center.

E. H. Lins 1894 – 1967 remodeling, that flower shop is now Da Boars Bar and Grill. In addition to hybridizing gladiolus, Lins became known internationally as a hybridizer of world-class peonies. He originated 39 peonies, many of them state and national award winners. DOLORODELL Lins 1942, was awarded the American Peony Society’s (APS) gold medal in 1984, 17 years after his death. As a longtime member of the American Peony Society, he worked with them to advance public appreciation of the peony flower. Today, Lins peonies can still be found growing in gardens throughout Europe, Australia, and other faraway places. Many can be seen at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, the Lyndale perennial garden, all around his home town of Cologne, and in the garden at the Minnesota Governor’s Residence.

A Park in His Honor

gladiolus and peonies. The Lins Peony Garden, established in 2009, showcases 27 of the 39 peonies hybridized by E. H. Lins. That dream is to cultivate and preserve specimens of each of the 39 varieties originated by Lins, and allow visitors to see his peonies growing on this land once again. Cologne’s annual community celebration, hosted by the Lions Club, is called GLAD DAYS, a fine tribute to the city’s own son, E. H. Lins, a hybridizer of hundreds of gladiolus and the latest inductee to the International Gladiolus Hall of Fame. The International Gladiolus Hall of Fame is in the Michener Library at the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, and is a repository for gladiolus literature from throughout the world and honors both outstanding gladiolus varieties and people who have notably contributed to gladiolus culture. For more information on the Minnesota Gladiolus Society, or the North American Gladiolus Council, contact Karen Karen Otto of Delano at (e-mail) karenotto@frontiernet.net

After Lins passed away, his family sold seven acres of his estate to the Cologne Lions Club for development as a park. Over the years, the Lions developed the land into the beautiful park you can see today.

She cares about her children and is dedicated to ministry, Whitney said. “She is not afraid to disagree with me when she is fighting for what she believes is in the best interests of her children,” he said. “I admire this in her.”

DNR Says Fire Season Could Start Early With the recent warm weather, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources fire behavior analysts are predicting an early start to the spring fire season. Predicted temperatures this week in the 40s and 50s will likely take care of what little snowpack the state had this winter. Plus, forecasts for the next two weeks show mild temperatures and a dry weather pattern. Minnesota also had a relatively dry fall and very little snow this winter. All of this points toward abnormally dry conditions in early spring. In addition to predicting an early start to the spring fire season, fire behavior analysts say that based on past weather patterns and fire occurrence, Min-

nesota will likely have an average to above average number of fires this spring. Without the snow compaction, grass fires will move faster and be more intense. And, with dry conditions, Minnesota could face fire mop-up and peat fire issues. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is predicting average temperatures and average precipitation for Minnesota this spring. The U.S. Drought Monitor shows most of the state as abnormally dry with some areas of moderate drought. And, the National Interagency Coordination Center in Boise, Idaho, says Minnesota will likely see above normal fire potential in March, April and May. But even during dry periods,

timely rain can lessen fire danger over the short term. Spring fires are predominantly winddriven in fine fuels like grass and leaves. These fine fuels respond quickly to changes in the weather. Spring fire danger will vary with the weather, so fire activity could be subdued with well-timed periodic rain. “Because the snow is disappearing quickly, we urge people to check fire conditions and burning regulations prior to doing any open burning, and to use extra caution when burning,” said Tom Fasteland, Minnesota Interagency Fire Center coordinator. For more information on fire conditions and burning restrictions, visit the Minnesota DNR website.

Bald Eagles Making Spring Flight Back to Area Bald eagles are migrating back to Minnesota and may be seen in large numbers across parts of the state, including the Minnesota River Valley area, over the next few weeks, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. “Ice is breaking up along the rivers, so it’s definitely time for folks to keep their eyes out,”

said Lisa Gelvin-Innvaer, DNR regional nongame wildlife specialist. “It all depends on the weather. It’s typical to see eagles coming through our area in mid-to-late March, as waters begin to open up and snow melts.” Only two states, Florida and Alaska, have greater nesting populations of bald eagles than at

Minnesota. In 2005, researchers estimated there were more than 1,300 active nests in Minnesota and that number likely has increased since. Fall migration typically occurs as lakes and rivers freeze over, since most eagles prefer a diet of fish. Bald eagle wintering grounds ideally contain open water, ample food, limited human disturbance and protective roosting sites. Not all bald eagles migrate southward in the fall, GelvinInnvaer said. In southern Minnesota, it’s common for some eagle pairs to stay the winter, especially during milder winters. Bald eagles that stay local may begin courting and nesting as early as December or January. Other bald eagles return to their breeding territories as soon as a food source is available. “Eagle migration hotspots are a bit of a moving target, so it’s hard to say where the eagles are right now,” Gelvin-Innvaer said. “In Minnesota, the biggest migrations tend to be along the Minnesota River corridor, the north shore of Lake Superior and around Lake Pepin in southeastern Minnesota.” Adult bald eagles are easily identified by a white head and tail contrasting with a dark brown body. They attain full adult plumage in their fourth or fifth year. In flight, bald eagles are sometimes confused with turkey vultures. However, bald eagles tend to soar on flat, board-like wings, while turkey vultures fly with their wings in a v-shape.

With a work ethic she learned from her parents – Ruth and Joe Kendall -- back in Sparta, Wis., Hahm’s workday at Trinity Lutheran runs from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Like many teachers, she routinely takes work home wit her. “My dad taught me to work hard at whatever you do,” she said. Hahm’s not one for awards or kudos, though she appreciates the recognition. Whitney sent in the nomination and then told Hahm what he had done. “There must be someone who’s more worthy,” she said. “I’m just some average Joe.” Growing up, there was little doubt in Hahm’s mind what she would do. She always wanted to be a teacher and credits teachers like Shirleen Maertz of Sparta, Wis. “I always wanted to be like her. She took the time to get to know her students. You always knew she cared about you,” Hahm said. Whitney saw the concern Hahm had for her students and job a few years ago when members of Trinity Lutheran’s school board visited classrooms one day. Hahm went to Whitney to ask if there was something wrong because all of the board members visited her room that day. “I had to smile because each of the board members had come up to me privately to let me know how much they enjoyed visiting Mrs. Hahm’s room and what a good teacher she was,” he said. “The board members had told each other that they had to visit Mrs. Hahm’s room if they had the chance because she is indeed the model of a Christian educator.”

to National Indoor Track Title The University of WisconsinEau Claire men’s track and field team earned its first NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field team national championship hosted by Roanoke College in Virginia. Belle Plaine High School graduate William LaJeunesse, a junior, was a member of the national champion distance medley relay team. The squad flew past the competition in posting a time of 9:54.82, which was more than 3.5 seconds faster than the next closest finisher. Their time shattered the school 5, 2011 at University of Wisrecord of 9:59.45 set on March consin-Stevens Point.

NYA Wins Section Title The Norwood Young America girls’ basketball team qualified for this week’s Minnesota State High School Class 2A Tournament after defeating St. Peter 48-33 in Friday night’s Section 2AA championship at Minnesota State University, Mankato. The Raiders, 26-3, also defeated Mayer Lutheran and Glencoe-Silver Lake in section play.

NYA will take on top-seeded Sauk Centre (29-1) 2 p.m. today (Wednesday) at Mariucci Arena on the University of Minnesota campus. NYA is not seeded. Today’s winner will play either No. 5 seed Annandale or No. 4 Minnehaha Academy at Williams Arena 6 p.m. Friday. The championship game is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday at Williams Arena.

Indoor Triathlon April 18 The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community invites triathletes of all abilities to its indoor triathlon at Dakotah Sport and Fitness (DSF) on Saturday, April 18. Registration is now open for the event that features a seven-minute swim, a 30-minute bike ride and a 20minute run/walk. “Dakotah! Sport and Fitness started the indoor triathlon in 2002 to help local triathletes warm up for triathlon season,” DSF Director Tad Dunsworth said. “It also offers first-time triathletes a chance to get in winning shape.” From 8-10 a.m., groups of six will take off about every 15 minutes. Competitors will swim in the DSF pool, ride a stationary bike and then finish

with a dash on the track, while volunteers record distances. Winners will be determined through a pacemaker scoring system. The triathlete who marks the longest distance in each of the three areas will be the pacemaker. All of the other contestants’ times are calculated by how long it would have taken them to reach the pacemaker’s distance in each event. Awards will be given to the top three men and top three women overall. To register, visit dakotahsport. com. For more information, call 952-496-6875. The cost is $28 for Dakotah Sport and Fitness members and $38 for nonmembers. Participants must be 12 years of age or older to compete.

Angie Johnson, Ann Miller Solve Shamrock Medallion Hunt

First Batch LeRoy Bentfield of Belle Plaine is among the local crew, mostly retirees, back at work this spring collecting sap in the nearby woods and cooking maple syrup at Harold Edbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building south of Highway 169. Bentfield said unseasonably warm nights (lows above freezing) in the past week has slowed the sap-collection process because sap flows best in the trees when daytime temperatures are above freezing and overnight lows are below freezing. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the forecast calls for much of this week and next week, which Bentfield said should make the process speed up. Basically, the process involves boiling sap in a pan until it contains a high percentage of sugar. When the sap reaches a certain temperature (slightly above the boiling point of water), the syrup is ready to be strained and bottled. It normally takes 30 to 40 gallons of sap to produce a gallon of syrup. The amounts vary depending on the sugar content of the sap, which is mostly water. After itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bottled, most of the syrup is normally distributed to the workers and the landowners who allow the maple trees on their properties to be tapped by the group.

Tom McPartlan told the audience that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;flatteredâ&#x20AC;? to be grand marshal with his brother and to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;remembered after all these years.â&#x20AC;? John joined Tom at the microphone and also thanked the community for the honor of being a grand marshal with Tom.

Clue No. 3 in the Herald already went to print but had not yet reached Belle Plaine newsstands last Tuesday evening when multiple-time clue solvers Angie Johnson and Ann Miller put an end to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Belle Plaine Shamrock Medallion Hunt. But the two mystery solvers did not need clue 3, which would have been available later in the evening. It was about 5 p.m. when they found the 2015 medallion inside a circular concrete well-like object next to the community hockey rink, which during the summertime serves as a dog park. This marked the third time in recent years that Johnson and Miller have solved a local coin hunt. They were members of a small group that found the Shamrock Medallion in 2013, and in 2012 they found the BarB-Q Days coin. A few months later they found the coin for the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural Harvest Medallion Hunt. Miller has also teamed with her husband, Angie Johnson, left, and Ann Miller showed where they found Jeff, and others to solve several the 2015 Shamrock Medallion near the hockey rink. other past medallion hunts, including finding the shamrock medallion with Danika Traut in 2011. Miller said she and Johnson probably would have found this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medallion sooner had it not been so cold prior to the recent warm-up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew it was over here (the hockey rink/dog park complex) but it was just too cold to come out here,â&#x20AC;? said Miller, adding that it was Johnson who physically found the coin. Johnson said she just started digging around inside the concrete cylinder and saw a metal cap of some sort with a Star Trek photo. She picked it up and on the other side of the cap was the medallion. There was a Star Trek reference in the second clue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Boldly go where no man has gone before. Johnson and Miller had not yet seen the third clue, which contained another Star Trek reference â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Beam me up Scotty.
