County Planning Commission Tables Blakeley Solar Garden Tile Lines, Other Questions Cast Shadow Over Project; Helena Garden Gets OK

Belle Plaine High School student-athletes removed debris from the demolition of a wall between the north side of the weight room and a hallway in the basement of the junior-senior high building Saturday afternoon and Monday. The debris was removed in five-gallon buckets carried upstairs to a trailer. RTL Construction of Shakopee donated about $4,500 in manpower for the demolition. The expanded weight room will make way for new equipment funded primarily by donations for use by physical-education classes and BPHS athletes.

B.P. Man’s Company Carries Big Load in BPHS Weight Room Project

RTL Construction Donate About $4,500 in Manpower

Sitting around a community campfire chatting with neighbors last summer, Shawn Larson heard some of his neighbors -- coaches and phy-ed teachers at Belle Plaine High School -as they talked about a dream of upgrading the high school’s weight room. Larson, who spent six seasons playing for the Belle Plaine Tigers town baseball club, is also assistant vice president with RTL Construction, a Shakopeebased commercial contracting firm. The company is donating about 80 hours of cumulative staff time working on the demolition of the weight room. The district estimates the dona-

tion is worth about $4,500 – a donation that makes the project’s plans doable. “We never even really asked,” said John Bergs, a physicaleducation teacher who lives in the same east-Belle Plaine neighborhood as Larson and his former Town Tigers teammate Pat Schultz. He coaches BPHS’s baseball team and is an assistant varsity football coach. “This is what communities do. People just pitch in and help where they can.” Larson went to his father and stepmother, Mike and Robyn Larson, owners of RTL Construction, and proposed contributing some weekend staff time. Since it was started in 1992, RTL Construction has a history of providing some pro-bono work for worthy causes when the economy is in good shape and the company can afford

to. Having survived the recession that hurt the commercial construction industry, RTL was willing to chip in and help. “2009 through 2012 and 2013 were pretty lean,” Mike Larson said. “But we like to help out where we can. We have people from Belle Plaine who take pride in their work.” Saturday morning (March 19), a team of workers from RTL Construction began removing the north wall to the weight room in the former locker room. Removing the wall expanded the weight room by as much as 33 percent, said Jeff Heine, the district’s facilities director.

If questions over the relocation of tile lines, storm water runoff, possible stray voltage and other issues can be adequately addressed, Blakeley Township will become the home of a solar garden. But there is work to be done before the sun’s rays can be tapped for electricity. Last Monday (March 14), the Scott County Planning Commission tabled consideration of SunShare LLC’s application for a conditional-use permit for ScottSun to host a 5-megawatt solar garden on 40 acres owned by Bonita and John Kane just north of the intersection of County Road 1 (Union Trail) and 250th Street West in Blakeley Township. No date was set for the proposal’s return to the commission. The company aims to lease the

Pfarr finished third at 197 pounds and Kroells, who was also All-American last season, was seventh at heavyweight. Just as he did last year, Kroells had a long second day at the NCAA Championships following a defeat in the second round Belle Plaine High School graduate Michael Kroells, left, and Le Sueur-Henderson graduate Brett Pfarr, are the two GoMichael Kroells phers who earned All-American status at last week’s NCAA (continued on page 8) Championships at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Mark Koepp, who runs a hog operation near the proposed solar garden asked if stray voltage was a concern. He also asked about additional lines coming from the site connecting with the regional grid. Beisner said one line would leave the site. It will have more capacity than a standard power line for transmitting electricity generated at the site to the regional grid. The commission indicated the potential of stray voltage would be addressed when consideration of SunShare’s proposal resumes. The company is proposing to use 35 of the 40 acres. The land is free of buildings, woodland and wetlands and is farmed. The solar panels will be on steel foundations 8 to 12 feet into the ground. If the CUP is granted, they will be set 150 feet from the centerline of County Road 1 (Union Trail) and 100 feet from the side property boundaries. They will be mounted on a racking system, 15 feet apart and 10 feet into

City Agrees to Extend Closing Date Again for Sale of Property to RMC

by Dan Ruud The price remains just a buck but with so much riding on the city-owned property at the intersection of Highway 169 and Country Road 3/Meridian Street, Ridgeview Medical Center and The Lutheran Home Association sought and Giving Back received another extension on “It’s great to be able to give the closing date where they are back to the community,” Shawn teaming up to construct a medical clinic and senior housing B.P. Man’s complex. (continued on page 14) The original closing date was to be this past Dec. 1 but in November the Belle Plaine City Council okayed an amendment to the purchase agreement that extended the closing date to May 1, which after Monday night’s action extends it to Aug. 1. “The purchase agreement included an original closing date of Dec. 1, 2015. Ridgeview Medical Center had originally planned to begin the development (planning) process this summer and have it completed

land for 25 years. It will provide the county a bond covering 125 percent of the estimated cost of decommissioning the solar garden. Consideration of the CUP application came to an abrupt halt during a public hearing when members of the Meierbachtol family indicated SunShare had not informed them about the project, which would impact the tile lines running through the Kane property from the Meierbachtol farm to the north of the proposed solar garden site. Chuck Beisner of SunShare told commissioners a co-worker was responsible for informing neighbors of the possible impacts of the proposal. Beisner suggested the proposal be tabled. Dale Meierbachtol said he and his family would not approve of the project unless SunShare relocated the tile lines serving their farmland. Concerns about storm water runoff along County Road 1 were also raised. Beisner said a storm water runoff plan was nearly ready for county and state review and approval.

by that date,” City Administrator Holly Kreft reported Monday. “Since that time, they have entered into a formal partnership with The Lutheran Home Association to include senior housing on the site. This has necessitated an extension to the planning process. As Ridgeview Medical Center and The Lutheran Home continue to refine the building footprint, additional time is requested.” When the council authorized extending the $1 purchase agreement from Dec. 1 to May 1, Kreft said the groundbreaking for the project was still anticipated for May 1. However, that will likely be pushed back to June. Kreft said the city is expected to receive more detailed plans in April with council action in May. In January, the council approved the concept plan for the Ridgeview/Lutheran Home complex, highlights of which include: – Medical Clinic: The initial

phase will be approximately 8,000 to 12,000 square feet designed with future vertical expansions to a total of 15,000 to 20,000 square feet. The clinic building will have a drivethrough pharmacy and provisions for an advanced imaging trailer to be parked alongside and integrated with the clinic. – Lutheran Home Care Cen-

Storm Water Work Working in tight quarters, a crew from Chard Tiling & Excavating dug down to a storm water pipe running between two houses on the 700 block of East Forest Street Monday (March 21). The project involves relieving flood-prone areas by upgrading storm water pipes from 24 to 36 inches so water will flow through the system and eventually to the river quicker.

Council Hires Additional P.W. Employee, Okays Purchases

Winners in the Belle Plaine Rotary Club’s “What Makes My Family Special� Essay Contest include (from left) Maggie Hamen, Ella Saxe, Ethan Laing and Solace Daggy. Other winners, Clare Fisher and Ella Tracy, were unable to attend the Rotary Club’s meeting on March 9 where the students were honored for their entries.

Rotary Lauds Belle Plaine Children With ‘Special’ Families

Like many children, Ella Tracy, Ethan Laing, Maggie Hamen, Claire Fisher, Ella Saxe and Solace Daggy believe their families are truly special. The Belle Plaine Rotary Club recently honored the children for their entries in the annual “What Makes My Family Special� essay contest. The entrants were divided into two categories – fourth grade and younger, and fifth grade and older. The Rotary Club received 93 entries from the younger students and 45 entries from the older students. Tracy and Laing were the two first-place winners. Saxe and Fisher finished second in their age groups. Daggy and Hamen both took third. They won $25, $15 and $10 Dairy Queen gift cards. Tracy, a fourth-grader at Our Lady of the Prairie, wrote of memorable trips to special destinations. She and her family go to the cabin, tubing, Paul Bunyan Land hotels and road trips. “We do a lot of fun stuff and we are always together,� she wrote. “Our family members are all different in a way because we like different things,

but we are still a family.� For Ethan Laing, a sixth-grader at Trinity Lutheran, he appreciates having two parents. “Not everyone has a family with two parents, especially in other countries like China and Japan “so I really try to remember my awesome privilege� as a lucky American, Laing wrote in his essay. Ethan describes his father as a computer wiz, his mom as “the best cook in the universe� and his sister as both artsy and athletic. Laing, a sixth-grader at Trinity Lutheran, says his brother is always playing ball, being annoying or being a great little brother. For Fisher, an OLP sixthgrader, family is about giving. Giving is a sign of love, joy and thankfulness, she wrote. “Giving shows that you love someone, like the little brown bead I got on my birthday,� she wrote. “Giving expresses love in our family and draws us closer together.� Special family time, Clare wrote, involves time spent together. When the weather turns warm, she’ll go bike riding and play basketball with her dad. Saxe, a second-grader at OLP,

says her family is special because its members always pitch in to help each other. “Mom helps me with my homework. Dad helps me clean my glasses. Clayton helps us by getting stuff. I help Gus and Addy with homework,� she wrote. “Gus helps us build stuff. Ian helps us by making us laugh. Alice helps by always being ready to explore.� “They color with me. They help me learn. They love me so much. They help me with everything in my life,� Chatfield Elementary School secondgrader Daggy wrote. “That’s why I like them.� Hamen’s essay is about family time spent together. The Trinity Lutheran sixth-grader writes of Easter and Christmas celebrations and time with his grandparents. Her essay includes anecdotes of her uncles bringing duck or venison home from hunting trips and walks with grandparents. “When we gather for family gatherings, it is so packed the kids have to either sit on the ground or save the adults’ seats,� Hamen wrote in her essay.

Scott County Board OKs Grant for Cedar Lake Park Project Scott County commissioners OK’d accepting a grant from the Metropolitan Council that will reimburse money the county is using in Cedar Lake Farm Regional Park. March 15, the county board accepted a $275,000 grant from the Met Council. The money is for the first phase of construction on improvements to the regional park northeast of New Prague. It will reimburse the parks and trails legacy fund

money. The county already allocated $1.85 million into park improvements. The project includes restoration to the old barn on the site. Other improvements in the park include a maintenance building, just over a half-mile of paved trails, 2½ miles of soft trails, beach and boat launch upgrades, ADA and parking improvements. The regional park will be closed until later this spring.

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine City Council Monday night unanimously approved the hiring of Joshua Muehlenhardt as an additional permanent, full-time public works I employee. During discussions for the 2016 budget process, the council considered the addition of two full-time permanent public works employees with the intent of moving away from seasonal hires. However, the council opted to okay the hiring of only one added public works employee at this time. The top four candidates for the position were interviewed by Public Works Superintendent Al Fahey and City Administrator Holly Kreft before concluding that Muehlenhardt was the top candidate. He will begin the job March 28. The council Monday night also unanimously authorized staff to advertise for two fulltime (rather than four) temporary seasonal employees for the public works department. Those hired will assist with the upkeep of parks and other city properties this spring and summer. *Unanimously okayed the purchase of a new front-cut mower from Ag Power for

$17,500 after trade-in of the old one. Staff reported that the public works department uses front-cut mowers to help maintain parks and waterways. The report added that the 2011 John Deere 1445 was due for replacement and it was decided to purchase a 1570 TerrainCut mower with a 72-inch mower deck. *Unanimously authorized staff to seek bids for the 2016 seal coat project. The city has allocated $90,000 for this year’s work. *Unanimously approved amendments to the city ordinance pertaining to large assembly permits, including exemptions, prohibition in certain areas, maximum size and time, and additional qualifications for downtown events. No one spoke at the public hearing that preceded the council’s action. Staff reported that Police Chief Tom Stolee recently met with downtown event organizations to make them aware of the proposed changes specific to those permits, and that the organizations have already incorporated the rules into their events. *Unanimously approved amendments to the city ordinance adding restrictions to the trapping of animals. Police Chief Tom Stolee had previ-

ously reported that trappers in some parts of the metropolitan area have entered communities that do not have regulations on trapping animals, which have injured or killed domestic pets. The new ordinance states that trapping in Belle Plaine “shall be prohibited except for live traps for nuisance animals and mechanical devices for rodents.� No one spoke at the public hearing that preceded the council’s action. *Tabled a public hearing on proposed amendments to address public safety concerns pertaining to all-terrain vehicles, including definitions, operation, crossing of public road right-of-way and operation of Class I and II ATVs. City Attorney Bob Voss recommended that the public hearing be continued on April 4 to allow further review of the proposed changes with Police Chief Tom Stolee. *Presented certificates of appreciation to John Shudy (planning commission) and Dan Gardner (park board) for their past service to the city. The next regular meeting of the Belle Plaine City Council is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. April 4 in the City Hall building at 218 North Meridian Street downtown.

John Marks

John Marks, 73, of Jordan, passed away on Sunday, March 20, 2016. A gathering of friends will be held on Friday, April 1 from 11 a.m.-1p.m. with a Celebration of Life Service beginning at 1 p.m. at Hope Lutheran Church, Jordan. Pastor Steve Thompson will preside. Ballard-Sunder Funeral & Cremation of Jordan is handling the arrangements. On August 16, 1942 Edward and Evelyn (Fagerlie) Marks celebrated the birth of their youngest son, John Robert Marks. John, along with his six siblings, was raised in Glyndon, Minnesota, a small town just east of Fargo, North Dakota. During his childhood, John would help at the family’s bar—the Log Cabin Bar and Grill. Constantly meeting new people at the bar, John quickly became a sociable, outgoing person. Working at the family’s bar made quite the impression on John and ironically, he never drank. During John’s high school years, he met a young woman, Mary Jo Costello, from Dilworth, the rival town next to Glyndon. One day as Mary Jo was walking home, a car full of Glyndon cheerleaders and football players pulled up to her. In the car was John. They talked for a while and Mary Jo decided John was incredibly obnoxious. The two occasionally ran into each other and eventually John pestered Mary Jo enough to be his prom date. The ďŹ rst time John met Mary Jo’s parents for dinner, he was jokingly told to eat everything on his plate. Afraid of being rude, John did just that—eating the decorative bay leaf as well. Eventually, Mary Jo’s parents grew to like John, his big personality, and his teasing nature. The young couple exchanged wedding vows on October 20, 1961 at the Dilworth Lutheran Church. The newlyweds began their family with the birth of their daughter, Mecque, and son, David. They moved to Carver and eventually settled in Jordan. John worked as a baker for many years to support his family. In the 70’s John injured his back and could no longer bake. He decided to attend Hennepin Vo-Tech for Culinary Arts. John went on to teach as a hospitality chef at the Carver-Scott Cooperative. When it came time to teach cake decorating, Mary Jo always stopped by to assist the class. The family worked together often, especially when they began a catering service. Along with his family’s help, John was able to meet his goals in life, such as retiring by age 50 and owning a hobby farm. In his 50’s John became a gentle-

man’s farmer, peddling hay at the Belle Plaine Sales Barn every Thursday, or as he called it, “Holy Day.� John extended his hospitality to everyone he met. Often he would say, “If you’ve been to my house more than once, you’re not company anymore. You’re family.� He had an open-door policy—everyone was an equal in John’s eyes and he was always willing to lend a helping hand. If John couldn’t help, he always knew someone else who could. John was the “go-to guy� around town for those needing advice. Having always been a mentor, John was a natural grandfather. Much to Mecque’s distress, John taught his grandchildren how to drive at the age of 12. John was also an avid outdoorsman. He was active in the Turkey Federation, Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever and the Caribou Gun Club. On hunting trips, John always had Tramp, his loyal hunting dog, by his side. John was a kind, humorous, genuine person who cared greatly for his friends and family. Simply put, he was a larger than life individual. John will be dearly missed by his wife, Mary Jo; children, Mecque (Tom Dohnansky) Leonard, David Marks; grandchildren, Sam Leonard, Jenna Leonard; brother, Donald (June) Marks; sister-in-law, Joann Marks, Norma Marks; other relatives and friends. John is greeted in heaven by his parents; and siblings, Duane Marks, David Marks, Richard Marks, Edward Marks and Doris Sagen. Urn bearers will be David Marks, Gregg Anderson and JR Jones.

DFL Senators on Education Committee Announce Top Priorities for 2016 Session Ending the state’s teacher shortage crisis, addressing Minnesota’s 46th student to counselor ratio ranking and expanding pre-K for Minnesota’s 4-year-olds are among the Senate Education Committee’s top priorities for the 2016 legislative session. Senate Education Chair Sen. Chuck Wiger (DFL-Maplewood) was joined by Sen. Kevin Dahle (DFL-NorthďŹ eld), Sen. Vicki Jensen (DFL-Owatonna), Sen. Susan Kent (DFL-Woodbury) and Sen. Katie Sieben (DFL-Cottage Grove) to discuss their committee priorities in an Expanding Education Opportunities press conference. “This session we are prioritizing getting more high quality teachers into the classroom,â€? Wiger said. “However, not only do we want to get them to go into the teaching profession, we want to offer our ongoing support by investing in teacher training and development. Our state’s poor student-to-counselor ratio is also a priority this session; we know that when students get the supports they need – they’ll do better in the classroom. Finally, expanding early childhood education is another focus this year. We are clear on the need for pre-K; how much we can expand this critical program this year will depend on how much money we have to invest.â€? Dahle, an experienced classroom teacher, is authoring a package of bills that help address teacher shortage by offering loan forgiveness, grants to help pay for student teaching and incentives for teacher in high demand areas. “Last year, 56 percent of school districts said they would ďŹ nd hiring special ed teachers ‘very difďŹ cult,’â€? Dahle said. “Schools across the state are struggling to ďŹ nd qualiďŹ ed applicants for a variety of positions – from math, science and special ed to agriculture and career and tech ed. I am proud of the bill we’ve put together which addresses this statewide problem by attacking it on several fronts. By combining new

grant money and loan forgiveness with greater investment in programs we know work already – I am conďŹ dent we can ease the burdens on school districts.â€? Dahle is also authoring a bill to invest in teacher training and development that would help districts pay for training sessions for their teachers. Sen. Vicki Jensen is authoring a bill to add money to the agriculture education grant program. “Agriculture is the state’s second largest employer and vital to Minnesota’s economy,â€? Jensen said. “It creates highpaying jobs that include not only the traditional roles on the farm, but also opportunities in biochemistry, communications and engineering ďŹ elds. Extending high school agriculture programming into the summer, provides the ultimate STEM experience in a hands-on setting, preparing students for a career in agriculture.â€? Sen. Kent has worked to get more student counselors into Minnesota schools. This year, she’s back with a $20 million grant proposal. “Whether you come from a family with a strong support system, or no support system at all – every school student can beneďŹ t in some way from a school counselor or support staff. School nurses, psychologists, social workers, chemical dependency counselors and others all work to help our students stay healthy and succeed in the classroom and beyond. I am hopeful this is the year we can get something done to improve our state’s abysmal student to counselor ratio,â€? Kent said. Sen. Sieben is chief author of a bill to bring pre-K to more of Minnesota’s four-year-old children. The mother of three says that she’s seen the beneďŹ ts of high-quality preschool in the school districts across her district. “All children, regardless of income, should be able to attend a high-quality preschool program. We don’t say that children can only attend third or ďŹ fth grade if they can afford to pay for it, and families shouldn’t have to make that difďŹ cult decision for their 4-year-olds. School-based preschool programs can provide wraparound services, like special education, vision screening and busing that makes public preschool programs attractive to families. Minnesota needs to move in this direction, and I’m proud to support such efforts,â€? Sieben said.

Despite a possible divide in the city council over how Cologne Public Works would be organized, city council members decided Monday night (March 21) to bring back Brian Vos to lead the department. Vos will be the Cologne Public Works Department’s public utilities and maintenance supervisor. He’ll lead the threeman department and will also be responsible for operations of the city’s wastewater treatment plant. Vos will earn $27 per hour. The council was initially split on how it would set up supervision in the department, deciding who would be in charge of the public works side of the operation with Vos in charge of the wastewater plant. But the concern was quelled when the city attorney told councilors if they wanted to hire Vos, they needed to hire him as the supervisor of both areas since that is how the position was advertised. Vos was one of 20 applicants for the position and one of two

candidates to be interviewed for it. The council will allow Vos to delegate work as he sees ďŹ t. He will answer to City Administrator Jesse Dickson and the city council. Vos holds a class C wastewater license and will work to upgrade that license to Class B. He currently holds a Class B water treatment plant license. He is also a resident of Cologne and a member of the city’s ďŹ re department. Vos’ hiring was unanimously approved. Vos said he was thrilled to be working for the city again. He worked for Cologne Public Works as a maintenance worker from 1997-2008. He left to work for the City of Waconia. He expects to rejoin the city staff in mid-April. In other action at the March 21 meeting, the Cologne City Council: • Paid bills totaling $43,791.41. • Approved the hiring of Riley Miller as a seasonal public works worker. He’ll be paid $13 per hour. • Renewed the license 2016-17 applications of sanitation haulers operating in the city. They are Randy’s Organic Disposal

and Waste Management. • Approved the purchase of a John Deere tractor with mower attachment for $13,97 from Midwest Machinery 78-inch V-blade for its Kubota tractor for $3,697 and a snow blade and bucket for its Bobcat for $7,700. The city will trade-in its Ford CM274 mower and Ford 1700 tractor to Midwest Machinery for $6,500 to be applied toward the purchase of the John Deere tractor. • Scheduled a public hearing for the April 7 meeting, 7 p.m., on the city’s request to be placed on a wastewater plant replacement priority list. Being on the priority list can potentially open up possible funding sources for the proposed plant. • Accepted a quote from Storms Welding of Cologne for a testing dock to allow safer collection of water from the city’s wastewater treatment ponds. The company’s quote for a dock and labor is $3,232.32. • Received a report from the county sheriff’s ofďŹ ce for law enforcement activity in the city during February of 2016. • Heard a report on planning for Glad Days. The community festival is scheduled for July 28-30. The council approved paying for a stage and tent and providing other assistance.

The Minnesota Soldier Scholarship was established to provide funds to active military personnel or a veteran who has served at least 180 days of active military duty and honorably discharged who wish to further their education. The applicant must be a Minnesota resident. For applications and rules, contact Judy Otto of Belle Plaine Ladies Auxiliary Post 6202 at 952873-2913. The deadline to apply is April 1.

The Belle Plaine City Council recently approved a revised rental ordinance and city staff is now initiating a campaign to help ensure rental units are properly licensed. The purpose of the rental code is to provide for the health, safety and welfare of renters. The revised rental ordinance approved in January simpliďŹ es requirements and provides for basic rental maintenance standards. Under the revised ordinance, rental license terms continue to be two years from date of ďŹ rst issuance. The city requires all rental property within the city be licensed. This includes apartment complexes, town homes, condominiums, duplexes and single-family rental dwellings. All dwellings that do not qualify for homestead status are considered to be rental prop-

erty and, therefore, require a license. Subsequent to the rental code update, owners of rental property are encouraged to review their rental holdings to determine whether or not rental licenses are current. Rental property owners who are unsure of whether or not rental licenses are current should contact the city at 952-873-5553 for information. In an attempt to ensure compliance with the revised rental code, the city will begin reaching out to owners of rental property with expired or soonto-expire rental licenses. Rental property owners needing to schedule inspections will also be contacted.

A few farmers got in a bit of seeding before March ended, but a return of frost checked general seeding. Phil Orr, St. Lawrence farmer, was laid up with a back injury as a result of a kick from a horse. Petsch Bros., who operated a meat market here for four years, sold out in order to be free to make a trip to their native home in Austria. The purchaser of the meat market was Arthur Moldenhauer of Waconia. Cal Brinker was back from Nome, Alaska, for a visit with his sister, Mrs. Harvey Simcox. Mr. Brinker had been a resident of Nome for 26 years. He was a druggist there and planned to return to Nome during the summer. The ďŹ ling period for the borough election ended without a contest for any ofďŹ ce. Doughnut grease left on a stove unobserved for a few minutes caused severe damage to Harry Mark’s bakery.

The Belle Plaine School Board approved resolutions that involved four teachers. The resolutions would fulďŹ ll a legal requirement that teachers receive proper notice prior to being placed on unrequested leave of absence. The teachers involved were Mrs. Carol Schultz, part-time title I teacher; Milen Lovich, high school construction trades teacher; Daryl Goulson, junior high science teacher; and David Bakken, junior and senior high English teacher. Superintendent of Schools John Bartholow said the resolutions did not mean the teachers would for sure be let go but could happen in connection with proposed reductions as the district tried to balance its budget. Declining enrollments had cost the district over $200,000 in lost revenue. The Minnesota River was expected to crest here at nearly 26 feet after inundating bottomlands and blocking trafďŹ c near Henderson, Blakeley and the Bloomington Ferry Bridge. The Belle Plaine City Council was moving ahead with plans to repair the municipal swimming pool. The action came after City Administrator Curt Brekke reported that the pool was in need of some $17,500 in repairs before opening that coming season. This was after an expenditure of $12,957 in repairs during 1985. Dave Laabs was appointed to the Belle Plaine Planning and Zoning Commission, succeeding Bob Sass, who resigned. The city council approved the placement of a letter of commendation in the personal ďŹ le of Police Chief Steve Rost for his part in the capture of an armed robbery suspect in the city on March 5. Most Belle Plaine businesses would close from noon to 3 p.m. in observance of Good Friday. They would reopen at 3 p.m. and remain open until 8 p.m. Construction had progressed considerably on Scott County’s $3 million Central Shop, which was situated on a 15.6-acre site some 2.5 miles north of Lydia in Spring Lake Township. County Highway Engineer Brad Larson said two of the three buildings that were part of the complex had been completed. County highway personnel and equipment would be housed at the complex, which was scheduled for completion that summer. Arthur O. Schmidt, age 89, of Belle Plaine, passed away March 22. He was born in Belle Plaine Township the son of

Hoffmans Donate $900K for Coney Island Cleanup; Plans Taking Shape

Norm Hoffman recalls learning of plans to cleanup and commercially redevelop Lake Waconia’s Coney Island several years ago. The news triggered his effort to acquire the island. Thirteen years after Norm and Ann Hoffman acquired the island and began the process of donating to Carver County for public preservation and use as part of Lake Waconia Regional Park, their foundation recently presented Carver County a $900,000 check for island cleanup. The Waconia residents feared redevelopment of the island

would make it a place for the well heeled. Norm Hoffmn feared the island would eventually fall into disrepair. Hoffman wanted the island to be a place anyone and their family could enjoy. Plans for the island include historic preservation of existing ruins on Coney Island. While there will be no restoration of historic buildings, there will be viewpoints and photo exhibits of the buildings as they appeared in their heyday, the Waconia Patriot recently reported. Other plans for the island include access points on the tips

of the island. Docks, picnic areas, restrooms and other features are planned. Eventually, camping will be permitted on the island. Carver County is currently prohibiting access to Coney Island. Commissioner Jim Ische of Hancock Township thanks the Hoffmans on behalf of the county board and citizens of the county and region. Commissioner Tim Lynch of Hollywood Township lauded the couple for their perseverance in working through the labyrinth of red tape to donate the land.

Nick and Katelyn Zurn are enjoying spring break from SJU/ CSB this week with family and friends. Humor Corner: Ole and Carl Lundstrom got into a heavy discussion on the nationality of St. Peter, with Ole insisting the old apostle was Norwegian. Carl snorted, “How do you figger St. Peter was Norwegian?” “Becoss,” said Ole “it’s right dare in da Bible.

LS-H Budget Fix Calls for $615,000 in Cuts, Staff Reductions

Le-Sueur Henderson School Board members heard the first draft of a $615,000 budget adjustment plan for the 2016-17 school year. Superintendent Brian Gersich and members of the administrative team presented more than 20 items for consideration prior to a public meeting Monday, March 14. The biggest part of the adjustment is about $615,000 in budget cuts, a proposed 6 percent reduction of the budget. Formal action for the budget adjustment plan is expected to take place April 4. The reductions are needed because of a $500,000 budget deficit expected next year. Some of the adjustments that could be made include the elimination of five full-time teaching positions in special and general education, elimination of two full-time custodians, the elimination of the community engagement coordinator position, reducing technology purchases by $35,940 and eliminating a bus route worth $50,000. Other proposed cuts include eliminating intramural basketball, equipment reductions, a $10 hike in the junior high activity fees and the elimination of savings on purchases of three student passes (currently, it’s buy two, get the third free). The district is also eyeing a change of adaptive softball to less-expensive adaptive bowling. Other proposed cuts include short-term equipment reductions, elimination of one postal machine, reduction of a STEM consultant, elimination of one media center support job, and reducing the college-in-theschools program. Gersich told school board members flexibility is part of the plan, and the board and community will have the opportunity to make adjustments and offer input. “We have room inside the

plan,� he said. The superintendent also addressed a few issues that were brought up during a public hearing, namely the potential closure of Hilltop Elementary in Henderson. “Closing a school site is very painful and we are not recommending it at this time because we have enough reductions. Hilltop has an amazing culture and presence in Henderson,� Gersich said. Additional cuts could be considered if the district’s enrollment continues to decline. School districts receive funding on a per-pupil basis. The plan represented months

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

Roman Barten Memorial Benefit for Two Jordan Boys April 10 The ninth annual Roman Barten Memorial Benefit Breakfast will take place Sunday, April 10 at the New Prague Knights of Columbus Hall. This year, all proceeds go to the care of 8-year-olds Griffin Dahmen (son of Jill and Kurt Dahmen) and Lexyn Grof (son of Ashley and Jeff Holt) of Jordan. The breakfast, which includes pancakes, sausage and cinnamon rolls, will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the cost is a freewill donation. Donations may also be made to the “Griffin-Lexyn Benefit Account” at Frandsen Bank in Jordan. Griffin Dahmen is a sports fanatic with a tender heart and a “wise beyond his years” type of spirit. He was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma in February 2015. This cancer is quite rare and extremely relentless. Griff has endured complex surgeries and countless weeks in the hospital separated from his four

siblings – three sisters and one brother. Faith in God has carried him and his family through this unthinkable time. Cancer tried to take Griffin’s leg and steal his ability to participate in the activities he loves but he is determined to beat cancer once and for all and to one day be declared cancer free! Lexyn Grof is an easy going, always smiling, sports loving boy. He loves nothing more than to be surrounded by friends and family and has one younger sibling. He was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in October 2015. LCH is a rare and unpredictable cancer that causes tumors to form in his chest, sacrum and femur bones. Despite surgery, chemotherapy treatments and physical limitations, Lexyn remains upbeat and is ready to tackle the cancer head on! The boys are friends and both in second grade at Jordan Elementary School. The Dahmen and Holt families wish to thank everyone who has already shown so much love and support towards their families. To learn more, please visit the Caring Bridge sites: Griffin Dahmen (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/griffindahmen) and Lexyn Grof (http://www. caringbridge.org/visit/lexyngrof).

The county says ScottSun is required to erect a 6-foot-tall chain link fence around the solar garden with 4-foot-tall evergreens along County Road 1 and the north side of the solar garden, the closest side to existing residences. The trees will be 12 feet apart. SunShare has agreed to place the trees on the north, west and south sides of the solar garden. The company is also willing to post a $5,000 bond for maintenance of the trees through their first year. The township also wants the CUP to cease when the proposed solar garden is decommissioned in 25 years, said Robert Wagner, a Blakeley Township supervisor. If the conditions are met and Meierbachtol’s tile lines are relocated, the township supports the proposal, Wagner said. Jordan is interested in the proposed solar garden. The Jordan City Council plans to purchase some of the electricity the solar garden generates and contributes to the regional power grid.

Former B.P. Resident Faces Court Conference on Murder Charge

The former Belle Plaine man arrested here last fall a decade after he allegedly murdered a man in Mesa, Ariz. will be back in Maricopa County Superior Court next month. Steven Scott Wightman is charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery. Police believe Wightman killed a man, 52-year-old musician David Elbert Reed, in a parking lot outside a pub on an October evening in 2005. The conference set for April 6 is to make sure both the prosecution and defense are moving forward toward a July 20 trial date. The conference will keep the judge appraised of issues that may impact the pending trial, said Jerry Cobb, a public information officer for Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. A grand jury indicted Wightman Sept. 28, 2015. The indictment says he killed Reed during an armed robbery Oct. 16, 2005. Police say Wightman fled Mesa after he allegedly killed Reed. Wightman was arrested at his house in Belle Plaine Sept. 30, 2015 without incident. Scott County property records show he and his wife bought the Thumbs Up for in July of 2015.

and arrest warrants. In the house, police and deputies reportedly found two shotguns, five assault rifles, and four handguns in Wightman’s house after taking him into custody. They also say they found 90 grams of marijuana in the house. In Scott County District Court, Wightman did not fight extradition to Arizona. He entered a not guilty plea to the murder and robbery charges in Maricopa County Superior Court Dec. 4.

Finding Wightman

The night of the murder, Mesa police said witnesses identified a man with a distinctive star-shaped tattoo near his left eye was seen in the area of the shooting. But no one knew his name at the time. Witnesses told police Wightman and Reed had been hanging out at the bar, although there was no report of any confrontation between them, Detective Esteban Flores, a Mesa Police spokesman, said last fall. The unidentified man had reportedly told someone he was new to the area, Flores said. Years later, a detective working the cold homicide case decided to review hundreds of driver’s license photos from a license center near Mesa. The search eventually produced the photo of a man with a star-shaped tattoo. That photo allowed police to identify Wightman, Flores said. But by then, they didn’t know where Wightman lived. Mesa police got the break they need-

ed in 2014 when Wightman was arrested for a third-degree DWI in Minneapolis. He was eventually convicted of fourth-degree DWI. But the arrest didn’t give them a DNA sample to match against DNA from the crime scene back in 2005. That meant Mesa police needed a DNA sample from Wightman they could compare to DNA from the 2005 crime scene. An investigator from Mesa came to Minnesota earlier this year and trailed Wightman until an item containing Wightman’s DNA was appropriately recovered. Flores would only say the item never left the investigator’s sight. He declined to identify the item or how and where it was collected. Tests on the DNA sample from Minnesota were compared to DNA from the crime scene at the police lab in Mesa, Flores said. Once the two samples were deemed a match, a grand jury was convened and Wightman was indicted. Police from Mesa and Scott County Sheriff’s deputies then went to Wightman’s house in Belle Plaine to arrest him.

Walleye Regulations on Mille Lacs Lake Regulations designed to protect the fish needed to rebuild Mille Lacs Lake’s walleye population will require that walleye anglers use only artificial bait and immediately release all walleye when Minnesota’s 2016 fishing season opens Saturday, May 14. “A catch-and-release walleye season allows us to protect future spawners yet acknowledges the desire that fishing remain open,” said Don Pereira, fisheries chief for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. “Not allowing harvest is a difficult decision but it provides our best option.” From May 14 to Dec. 1, anglers targeting walleye must use artificial bait and immediately release all walleye caught. Anglers targeting northern pike and muskellunge may possess and use sucker minnows longer than 8 inches but all other anglers must not possess any other bait that is live, dead, frozen or processed. Other changed regulations for the 2016 season on Mille Lacs include: – Walleye: Night closure beginning Monday, May 16 from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and continuing through Dec. 1. Muskellunge anglers may fish at night but all baits, live or artificial, in possession must be at least 8 inches long. – Northern pike: Five fish with only one longer than 40 inches. All northern 30-40 inches long must be immediately released. – Bass: Four fish with only one longer than 21 inches. All fish 17-21 inches long must be immediately released. Last year on Mille Lacs, walleye anglers could use live bait and keep one walleye 19-21 inches long or longer than 28 inches. Walleye fishing closed in August when fishing pressure, the number of fish caught and temperatures combined to push the state over its 28,600 pound walleye limit. Fishing re-opened on Dec. 1, 2015, with a walleye limit of one 1820 inches or one longer than 28 inches. “The possibility of closing Mille Lacs to walleye fishing is greater this year than it was last,” Pereira said. “Even with our catch-and-release approach, the risk remains considerable.”

Elizabeth Johnson Selected to All-MRC Girls’ Basketball Team Elizabeth Johnson is Belle Plaine’s lone representative on the 2015-16 All-Minnesota River Conference girls’ basketball team. Teammate Paige Narveson is honorable mention. Kali Grimm of Norwood Young America was named the conference’s Most Valuable Player, while her coach, Gary Lembke, was selected MRC Coach of the Year. Conference co-champions NYA and Mayer Lutheran had four and three players, respectively, named to the team.

She passed the 1,000 career point mark, becoming Central’s eighth girls’ player to achieve that milestone. She also averaged close to three assists and three steals per game. Bren Fox, a sophomore forward, was named All-Conference for a second year in a row. She gave the Raiders a strong inside presence, averaging 11 rebounds and close to four blocked shots per game. She also averaged 10 points per game, showing great footwork inside. Shyann Wickenhauser, a junior point guard, did a great job getting the Raiders in their offensive and defensive sets. She averaged around seven points a game as well as three assists and three steals a game. Abby Mackenthun, a freshman guard, showed great improvement during the season. She led NYA in assists and steal, averaged four a game in both areas. She also averaged over seven points.

Mya Chmielewski, a sophomore guard, was a huge asset with her athleticism and defensive presence. Her tenacious defense and uncanny ability to anticipate passes helped her lead the team in steals for a second consecutive season. She averaged nine points, five rebounds, two steals and two assists per game. Jordan Karli Nielsen, a senior post, was recognized for the third consecutive year by the MRC. She led the Jaguars in scoring (12.2), rebounding (7.8), blocked shots (2.2) and field goal percentage (53) during conference play. Her presence inside demanded attention from opposing teams every game. She was able to score around the basket, as well as off the dribble. On defense, her length and ability to move well helped protect the lane for the Jaguars. Paige Johnson, a sophomore guard, was the second-leading scorer for Jordan during conference play at 11.2 points per game. She led the team in three-point baskets made with 20 during MRC play. She also has the ability to put the ball on the floor and attack the basket and get to the free throw line. Kat Brown-Erdal, a freshman guard, had a season where she got better each week. During MRC play, she was third in scoring with 8.1 points a game. She led the team with 31 assists and 31 steals during conference play. She shot 34 percent from the three-point line. Her ability

to see the court and push the ball up the floor helped the Jaguars play faster. Sibley East Hannah Wentzlaff, a junior center, led the Wolverines in most categories and continues to be a difference maker. She’s a hard-working team player, and with her size, she is a force inside, both offensively and defensively. Alyssa Weber, a senior forward, was a consistent player throughout the year. The team leaned on her to produce in all areas of the game. She was willing to do whatever the team needed. Tri-City United Joslyn Vargo, a junior point guard, led the Titans in scoring, averaging 18.7 points per game. Besides scoring, she led the team in steals (2.6 a game) and was second on the team in rebounding (7.0 a game). She reached another milestone during the 2015-16 season, scoring her 1,000th point in early January. Gabby Robinson, a sophomore point guard, was second on the team in scoring, averaging 9.3 points per game. She led TCU in assists with 3.6 a game and was in steals at 1.7 per game. She gained more confidence as the year progressed and has a very high ceiling going forward. Honorable Mention Fr. Paige Narveson B.P.

Day has led a series of water walks over the years along the Mississippi, the Ohio, St. Louis, Cuy-

ahoga and the James Rivers. Six women are expected to make the entire walk, with others coming and going along the way. The MNiSota River (cloudy tinted waters to the Dakota) was formed by glaciers thousands of years ago. The river is of deep historic and cultural significance to the Dakota and also home today to many others. The river has been cited as one of the most polluted rivers in the state and nation. It is one of the larger tributaries of the Mississippi River and increases the volume of the Mississippi’s flow by 57 percent, thereby increasing the pollution of the Mississippi. In recent years, there have been significant improvements in point source pollution control and adoption of conservation practices, but non-point sources of pollution are proving

to be more challenging. In the summer of 2015, the public was advised to not swim in any of the lakes or rivers in the southwestern portion of the state. For these reasons, Day has chosen to walk the MNiSota River. The purpose of the Water Walks is to draw attention to the river’s contamination and at the same time, honor the water as a living being. “The Walks are extended ceremonies for the water led by Indigenous peoples,� states Day. “We believe the water has a spirit and is a living entity that we, humans, have been gifted with to love and cherish.� CURE (Clean Up the River Environment) is co-sponsoring the walk with promotional and organizational support. For more information, contact Day at 651-325-8077 or smarieday@aol.com, or Peg Furshong at 320-269-2984 or peg@cureriver.org.

Winter Arizonans On March 3, 72 people gathered in Mesa, Ariz., for Belle Plaine’s Winter Arizonans annual luncheon and to celebrate their Belle Plaine heritage. The event was organized by Pam and Stan Pint, Virgil Young, Marilyn McSweeney, and Wayne and Marilyn Wolter. John Bailey administered the quiz. At the lunch, a trivia contest on recent news in the Belle Plaine Herald was held. The winners are pictured below each holding a copy of the Herald. In the back row, from left, are Bob Chard, Robbie Hillstrom, Bob Moody and Tony Chevalier. In the front row are Betty Chard, Joan Moody, Mavis Hillstrom and Joanie Chevalier.
