Scott West Takes Third at State Jackson Stauffacher Claims Second in Individual Tourney by Dan Ruud For a second year in a row, the Scott West wrestling team won two of three matches in Thursday’s Minnesota State Class 2A Team Tournament at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. In both cases, the Panthers won in the quarterfinals, lost in the semifinals and won the match for third place. The Panthers, the No. 4 seed this year, defeated No. 5 seed Wabasso-Red Rock Central 3525 in the quarterfinals before having to square off against No. 1 seed and unbeaten KassonMantorville in the semifinals about 30 minutes later, losing 36-18. Scott West came back to double up No. 2 seed Simley 40-20 for third place. KassonMantorville went on to win the Class 2A championship with a 37-21 victory over Foley (see tournament recap inside). Scott West seniors Ryan Siegle and Ben Kelvington both won all three of their matches in the team tournament, the latter of whom was selected to the alltournament team (see accompanying list). Heavyweights Josiah Schatz was 2-0 and Ben Alexander 1-0. Finishing 2-1 in the team tournament for the Panthers were Tyler Shackle, Justin Stauffacher, Jackson Stauffacher and Tyler Buesgens. Scott West has now placed third at the state tournament four times. The others were in 2015, 2008 and 2004. Its highest finishes were second in 2005, 2011, 2012 and 2014. The Panthers were fourth in

Individual Tourney Highlights

All three Panthers who wrestled Friday won both their matches to reach Saturday morning’s semifinals. Included and their weight divisions were sophomore Jackson Stauffacher (126), senior Ben Kelvington (145) and sophomore Tyler Buesgens (182). Only Stauffacher won his semifinal match, edging Zach Glazier of Albert Lea 3-2.

Little Brown Jug to Close After 41 Years in Belle Plaine Otto Pries will soon be putting the cap on the Little Brown Jug liquor store in Belle Plaine, which he opened 41 years ago (1975) at 520 Commerce Drive East. Pries said he will keep the store open until the inventory runs out, for which he is currently running a “goodbye and everything must go” sale.

Pries said he plans to retire, and after making some improvements to the building, will put it up for sale. “My wife (Judy) retired, I’m retiring, so it’s time to go to warm weather,” said Otto, adding that they will be moving to Pensacola, Fla., Judy’s hometown. Otto met Judy there when he was a flight instructor in the Navy.

Two Big Annual Events Set for This Friday and Saturday in B.P. The Belle Plaine Fire Department’s Fish Fry on Friday and Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic School’s Gala Auction and Casino Night will help kickoff the first weekend of March in Belle Plaine. Friday’s Fish Fry will take place from 4:30-8:30 p.m. at Chatfield Elementary School.

The cost is $10 for adults, $5 for children and free for ages 5 and younger. Saturday’s Gala Auction and Casino Night will take place at the OLP Parish Life Center. Doors open at 6 p.m. The grand prize is $5,000 cash. There will also be a number of other cash prizes (see ad on page 3 for more details).

Area Townships Hosting Annual Meetings

Although many of them have switched their elections from the spring to the fall, Belle Plaine area townships still host their annual meetings the second Tuesday each March. The annual meetings in townships with fall elections are generally scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. March 8. For townships that still host spring elections, like San Francisco Township in Carver County, the annual meetings will follow the completion of elections of one supervisor and the township

clerk. San Francisco Township expects to begin its annual meting at 8:15 p.m. The annual meetings are traditionally held for residents to participate in the setting of township tax levies for roads, fire and ambulance, and general government services. It is also an opportunity for residents to bring up issues for the township supervisors to consider. Some townships have already scheduled makeup dates for their annual meetings in the event of inclement weather.

Stauffacher had defeated Aaron Hingst of Simley 8-6 and A.J. Bethea of Hibbing 14-8 on Friday. In Saturday night’s championship, Stauffacher lost to unbeaten Tucker Sjomeling of Delano 10-3. Kelvington picked up where he left off in the team tournament by winning his first round and quarterfinal matches on Friday, bettering (in order) Luis Cirilo of St. Paul Johnson 9-4 and Peyton Mortenson of Dawson Boyd/Lac Qui Parle/Montevideo 6-2. Kelvington ran into then unbeaten Logan Axford of TracyMilroy-Balaton in Saturday’s semifinals, losing 8-2. Kelvington bounced back to beat Nate Adkins of Pequot Lakes/ Pine River 2-0 before losing the match for third place by a 6-4 count to Patrick Kennedy of Kasson-Mantorville. Buesgens had the same road to fourth place as Kelvington. After defeating Cory Schmidt of Annandale-Maple Lake 8-4 and Noah Keith of Bloomington Kennedy by pin on Friday, Buesgens ran into a buzzsaw Saturday morning, falling to eventual state champ Aaron Berge of Kasson-Mantorville 5-3. Buesgens then beat Brandonn Gore of South St. Paul 7-5 before losing the third place match to Cameron Schmitz of New Prague 6-2.

A Record-Breaker Shelby Liles (left) and Taylor Tikalsky took advantage of Saturday’s (Feb. 27) record warm temperature. They were skateboarding along South Meridian Street. Temperatures in Belle Plaine and the Twin Cities reached 58 degrees Saturday, breaking the old record of 54 degrees set in 1896. Mild weather is possible for Sunday and Monday (March 6-7) with temperatures forecast to reach the low-50s, according to the National Weather Service.

Wood Duck House Project Puts 300 New Houses into Area

Abi Flynn knows more about putting things together than she does about wood ducks. Dave Einertson knows plenty about both. Together, they were among a group of hundreds of people who built 300 wood duck houses for placement into the area for nesting. Flynn, a seventh-grader at Belle Plaine Junior High School, worked with Einertson on building a wood duck house Sunday morning. Einertson, who lives in Belle Plaine, worked with over a dozen young people assembling wood duck houses at the Scott-Le Sueur Chapter of the Minnesota Waterfowl Association’s annual wood duck house building day Sunday (Feb. 28) at the Knights of Columbus Hall in New Prague. He was one of about 40 volun-

teers. For a free-will donation, youngsters like Flynn were able to assemble a wood duck house, fill it with cedar shavings and take it home for mounting in an area where wood ducks will use it for nesting. The chapter also had predator guards for sale. The guards are sheets of metal wrapped around the post on which the wood duck house is mounted. It is designed to keep a hungry raccoon or other predator out of the house. “The river bottoms are filled with them (wood ducks and houses). If you put up a wood duck house along the river bottoms, it will be used,” Einertson said. Thursday night (Feb. 25), Einertson and several of the volunteers got together at a cabinet shop to prepare for the annual

build day. Using the shop’s tools and some of their own, they cut up enough cedar in predetermined size for 425 wood duck houses. The precision of the tools allowed them to complete their work in 2½ hours, said John Wolf, a longtime member of the Scott-Le Sueur MWA chapter. The two events bring chapter members together to share camaraderie and their passion for the outdoors.

Important Donations

The additional 125 houses assembled before Sunday were donated to area schools, Ducks Unlimited and other groups, Wolf said. Area businesses donated about $10,000 to the annual event, he said. In the 17

Scott County 4-H to Teach the Art of Fairy Garden Building March 12 The Scott County 4-H will teach the art of Fairy Gardensâ&#x20AC;? on Saturday, March 12 at the Scott County Extension ofďŹ ce on the Scott County Fairgrounds in Jordan from 9 a.m. until noon. The cost is $5 for 4-H members and $10 for nonmembers. Kids in grades K-5 grade are welcome to attend. You may ask â&#x20AC;&#x153;what is a fairy garden?â&#x20AC;? Very simply, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a miniature garden complete with plants and any tiny structures (even a house) you can build using natural materials. What you do with your garden is limited only by your imagination. Fairies live on the edge of the forest, deep within the forest, or

at the bottom of your garden in the areas that most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think to look. They live among the low-growing strawberries or near the thistles where humans without gloves donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to weed. Providing miniature ďŹ&#x201A;owers and shrubbery will give the fairies something to take care of, since they like to tinker about. With a little imagination, you can give your garden fairies a cool little place to call home. You could come up with some fairy stories of your own. Would you like to build a fairy garden? At our March 4-H Adventure, that is exactly what we will do!

Cologne Looks to Hire New Public Works Supervisor Figuring a person who works for the city provides more ďŹ&#x201A;exibility than a contract employee or ďŹ rm, the Cologne City Council is looking at two of the ďŹ ve remaining applicants for its third public works position. During a special city council meeting Monday (Feb. 29), the council voted unanimously to interview two of the ďŹ ve remaining semiďŹ nalists. The two are both working for similar-sized area communities, said City Administrator Jesse Dickson. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope is to have its personnel committee and a member of the Cologne Public Works staff interview both men this week and return next week to the council with a recommendation. Both the semiďŹ nalists have Class B licenses for wastewater and water treatment plants, said Mayor Scott Williams. The other three semiďŹ nalists are not licensed for either type of plant. The new employee would supervise the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wastewater treatment plant and water treatment plant once built. Cologne is considering plans to build a water treatment plant in the coming years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking with the two (licensed) applicants, we have a very good chance of getting one of them to come,â&#x20AC;? he said. If the personnel committee is unable to recommend one of the two men to the full city council, the council will consider its options â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a contract with Peoples Service, continuing contract

services with Doug Kammerer, a contract employee from Watertown, or interviews of the remaining semiďŹ nalists. Peoples Service will cost the city about $135,000 a year for full-scale management and service of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wastewater and future water treatment facilities. Kammerer costs the city about $15,000 for testing and oversight of the wastewater plant annually. Councilor Don Meyer noted that hiring someone will cost the city less than a contract with Peoples Service and will provide more ďŹ&#x201A;exibility than an ongoing agreement with Kammerer. Meyer noted that if the city continues to work with Kammerer or contracts with Peoples Service, and one of the two public works employees is out, that leaves one public works staffer to cover the whole city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to relieve the pressure on Damon and Mark (the two public works employees),â&#x20AC;? Williams said. Klein noted that back in the 1990s, the city had two full-time public works employees. Since then, the amount of land the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public works staff is responsible for and the population of Cologne has both at least doubled. Damon Klein, of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public works department, said he and Mark Eggers are working to keep up with the workload. The city had three full-timers until last fall when Jeff Wildung, the public works director, passed away after an accident.

Ask A Trooper by Sgt. Troy Christianson of the Minnesota State Patrol Question: How long do I have before I need to update my address on my driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license after moving? Answer: When a person moves to a new address within Minnesota, the law requires them to update their driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license within 30 days. If a person moves to Minnesota from another state, they must update their driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license within 60 days.

To change your address on your license, you must visit a Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) location in person. DVS ofďŹ cials will use your existing license, ID or other photograph ďŹ le to verify your identity. If DVS doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a photo on ďŹ le, or you have changed your name, you will need to provide

additional identiďŹ cation. This includes the following: â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One Primary Document (Example: CertiďŹ ed birth certiďŹ cate, valid passport). â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One Secondary Document (Example: An additional primary document or U.S. social security card). â&#x20AC;&#x201C; CertiďŹ ed marriage certiďŹ cates, certiďŹ ed divorce decrees or other certiďŹ ed court orders for name changes. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Proof of residence. The fee for an updated or replacement Minnesota license is $15.75. For a list of other documents and information, visit https://dps.mn.gov click Divisions and click on Driver & Vehicle Services.

Thirty Years Ago This Week

1985-86 BPHS Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Basketball Team Belle Plaine High School head boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball coach Randy Carlson is pictured with his 1985-86 team. Pictured left to right are Paul Boschee, Bill Siegler, Matt Fogarty, Brian Shaughnessy, Matt Lenz, Paul Pudlitzke, Brad Johnson, Jeff Johnson, Kevin Jeurissen, Scott Schmidt, Jay Denny and George Schoenborn. Approximately $105,800 in cuts affecting six educational staff positions, seventh and eighth grade sports, the reshufďŹ&#x201A;ing of the way classes are scheduled were outlined to the Belle Plaine School Board that week. The reductions in positions and programs were presented by Superintendent Dr. John Bartholow in response to a recent request by school board members. To give the public an opportunity to participate in the scaling back process, a public hearing was scheduled for March 17. There were seven contestants entered in Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day contest for the title of Miss Shamrock. They were Molly Daly, Tammy Fahey, Jill Fogarty, Jackie Hartmann, Courtney Hoelz, Margaret Olahan Huber (Mrs. Jim Huber of Canby) and Joyce Terrio. The grand marshals for the parade would be Leo and Mag Sullivan of rural Belle Plaine. Stricter local law enforcement of drunk driving laws resulted in 20 more arrests for driving while under the inďŹ&#x201A;uence of alcohol the past year in Belle Plaine, according to Police Chief Steve Rost after comparing department crime statistics for 1984 and 1985. A fund drive was started in Belle Plaine in an attempt to bring back to the community the bell that for over 75 years hung in the bell tower at Sacred Heart Church in Belle Plaine. The 1,000-pound bell was removed the previous month and brought to St. Kevinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Community Church in Minneapolis. The bell was sold by the church council of Our Lady of the Prairie to the Minneapolis church for $3,500. Almost everybody in Jordan agreed that the Dahm triplets were cuter than bugs ears in the commercial that Jaclyn, Nicole and Erica Dahm did for the Hardeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hamburger chain. But the 8-year-old daughters of Bob and Donita Dahm were also smart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they bring home their report cards, they are

mostly Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and some Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? said Donita Dahm, who operated the Dahm Snyder Drug Store in Jordan.

Meet Randy.

Dear Editor, Two years ago I went to Santiago, Chile to work at the Vision for Children House of Hope. One of my biggest concerns was needing medical or dental care during that missions trip almost 6000 miles from home. I was able to get a last minute appointment at Strait Smiles for a quick dental exam before ďŹ&#x201A;ying to South America. Last week three of the Chilean girls that live at that House of Hope were in Belle Plaine sharing their story with people from River Rock Church and one of the girls was overwhelmed with tooth pain. I called Strait Smiles and told them about this girl who is from one of the poorest cities in Chile and they rearranged their schedule to see her right away. When they realized she needed more help than they could offer that day both Doctors Strait (husband and wife) came in ďŹ rst thing the next morning on their day off to help the girl with a root canal free of charge. River Rock Church and VisionforChildren.net both want to let the people of Belle Plaine know about this great act of kindness by Strait Smiles Dentistry by the way they cared for this Chilean girl. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pastor Chris Teien, River Rock Church

Dear Editor, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m writing out of frustration with Blakeley Townshipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seemingly lack of action. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 2 years, 3 meetings and one letter requesting them to at least consider research I presented from the U.S. Forest Service, MN/DOT and Wisconsin DOT about dust control on their gravel roads. The reports conclude that spraying with environmentally safe salts glue the ďŹ nes together saving crop yields, gravel replacement, grading and other bad things about dust. U.S.F.S. found one vehicle/day/mile loses a ton of grave per year. The kicker is that the government reports suggest the once or twice annual spraying may save tax payers money as well as providing better surfaces and less dust. Blakeleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to at least consider this or comparing costs of grading and gravel hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come. How long does it take? Some municipalities spray their roads but Blakeley makes people pay extra for the service. I hope they will seriously compare practices to serve their residents instead of just dismiss as usual.

The officer noted the aroma of marijuana from inside the vehicle. Khindogin, 19, was described in the criminal complaint as lethargic, with slurred speech. He failed field sobriety tests and was arrested. The vehicle was eventually searched. The criminal charge says several narcotics, needles, a scale and other pieces of drug paraphernalia were found in the vehicle. Khindogin admitted, according to the criminal complaint, the case in the passenger side glove box was his. It contained needles and heroin paraphernalia that all tested positive for heroin residue. Duzan, 24, was a passenger in the front seat. He admitted, according to the criminal complaint, using heroine the previous day (Feb. 16). Duzan admitted he was carrying a knife that appeared to be stained with black tar heroin. His fingertips, the complaint states, also appeared to be stained by black tar heroin. The complaint says Khindogin told police the case beneath the front passengerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat containing heroin paraphernalia belonged to Duzan. Duzan admitted to police heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been addicted to heroin for the past five or six years, the complaint states. The search of the vehicle also produced a green Crown Royal bag containing paraphernalia and other heroin supplies. It was found on the floorboard near the rear seat where Otto was sitting. At the jail, Khindogin told police the Crown Royal bag and its contents belonged to Otto, 25. The officer found puncture marks from needles on Ottoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arms. The officer believes the scars are recent, though Otto told him they were old marks, the charge states. The charge also states police found a suboxone strip in Ottoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purse. Suboxone is a prescription medicine that contains buprenorphine and naloxone. It is used to treat adults who are addicted to opioids. The criminal charge notes Otto was previously convicted of heroin possession in June of 2014.

The Next Day

The following day, Thursday (Feb. 18) police stopped a vehicle because the driver was driving with a suspended license. Ethan T. Hayward and Bridgette P. Skelley are both charged with possession of a controlled substance. Skelley, 24, is charged with two felony counts. The 24-year-old Hayward is charged with a single count. Haywardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next court appearance is March 28. Skelley is due in court April 8.

Haywardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bail was set at $1,000 cash/$5,000 bond. Skelleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bail was set at $500 cash/$3,000 bond. According to the criminal complaint, the pair was heading east on East Main Street when a police officer noticed the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license plate indicated the driver, a woman, had a suspended license. The officer pulled over the vehicle on the 800 block of East Main Street. Neither the driver, Skelley, nor the passenger had a valid license, the officer was going to have the vehicle towed rather than leave it blocking traffic on the busy street. But as the pair walked away, the criminal complaint says, the officer noted a piece of tin foil with burned black residue and a marijuana grinder in the center console. The black residue, the charge states, was consistent with heroin. The officer ordered the pair back to the vehicle since they had begun to walk away. A search of Skelleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purse produced a green plastic container with white residue consistent with methamphetamine, a green plastic container with a small amount of marijuana, two straws with black heroin residue and a one-hitter pipe, according to the charge. A piece of tinfoil was found in Haywardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wallet. The criminal complaint says it also had burned black residue on it. The tinfoil tested positive for heroin. The white residue fieldtested positive for methamphetamine, the criminal complaint states.

B.P. School Board OKs Higher Pay for Long-Term Sub Teachers Earlier this school year, Belle Plaine High School needed a long-term substitute for a science class. The position was advertised at the standard pay rate the district has used for years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got one applicant,â&#x20AC;? Superintendent Ryan Laager told the school board Monday (Feb. 22) night. To put itself in a position where long-term substitute teachers want to teach in Belle Plaine, the school board voted unanimously without discussion to increase the pay rate from $150 per day to $187.57 with the potential, depending on the candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education and experience, to be as much as $214 per day. Checking with area districts that draw from the same pool of teachers for long-term sub jobs, Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pay for longterm substitutes was well below the average. Most the districts in the Belle Plaine area, Laager reported, pay around $200 per day and up. He told the board Jordan pays its long-term subs $228.35 per day. Long-term substitute teachers teach more than 30 consecutive days in the same classroom. Unlike daily substitutes, longterm substitute teachers write lesson plans. The district pays its short-term substitute teachers $110 a day for the ďŹ rst 10 days they work in Belle Plaine schools. They

are paid $115 a day for the 11th through 20th days and $125 a day for 21 days and beyond. The school district expects it will use six long-term substitute teachers this year, said Chuck Keller, the school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business manager during the ďŹ nance committee meeting that preceded the board meeting. Based on the number of long-term substitute teachers the Belle Plaine School District typically employs in a year, Keller expects the increase will cost the district an additional $12,000 per year. The new daily rate ($187.57) is based on the pay for a ďŹ rstyear teacher in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negotiated contract with its unionized teachers. The $214 per-day ďŹ gure is based on the daily rate for a sixth-year teacher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ nd anything on where the $150 (perday rate) came from,â&#x20AC;? Laager told the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to base it on something,â&#x20AC;? Director Dan Gardner said during the ďŹ nance committee meeting. In other action at the Feb. 22 meeting, the Belle Plaine School Board: â&#x20AC;˘ Paid bills totaling $1,586,374.70. â&#x20AC;˘ Recognized the cast, crew and director from BPHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oneact play for their success during the recent season. â&#x20AC;˘ Hired Karolyn Sonnetag as

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

Friends of Carver-Scott Rush River Garden Fever Event March 5 News by Beverly Brandt The Friends of Rush River met on Feb. 24 at the Henderson Roadhaus. The secretary and treasurer reports were read and approved. Dues for the membership are now due for the 2016 season – $10 singles and $15 per family. The main topic at the meeting was the fund-raiser dance that will take place Saturday, March 5 at the Roadhaus Event Center. Tickets are available for $7 advance or $10 at the door. Items are still being sought for the Bucket Rafﬂe. Maintenance contracts have all been signed for this season and park cleanup (weather permitting) has been set for Saturday, April 23 starting at 9 a.m. Plan to show up with rakes, shovels or whatever else may help. Lunch will be served. The hitching post in memory of Larry Hiles is in the process of becoming reality. It will be set up for use near the new bathroom area in the lower park. Some discussion was held on the possibility of hitching posts to be used in the city of Henderson for riders who choose to ride into town for a meal or supplies.

Carver-Scott Extension Master Gardeners will present two exceptional keynote speakers at their 18th annual horticulture day, Garden Fever on March 5. This year’s Garden Fever theme is “Gardening for All Ages.” This engaging day will return to the Oak Ridge Hotel and Conference Center in Chaska, which is located just around the corner from Minnesota’s renowned Landscape Arboretum. Horticulturist, TV/radio host, award-winning author and columnist Melinda Myers will present “Designing a Garden that will Age with You” in the morning, and in the afternoon University of Minnesota Extension educator Dr. Karl Foord will present a new perspective on insects. Guests may be familiar with Myers from her numerous gardening books pertinent to Minnesota, Wisconsin and other parts of the upper Midwest. Others may know her from her numerous TV and radio programs, including “Melinda’s Garden Moments,” “The Plant Doctor” and “Yardworks.” In this era of concern about pollinators, Dr. Foord will present the world of insects through his camera’s macro lens.

(continued from page 15) streak when he downed Isaac Haman 7-1 at 138. “Ryan really wrestled an outstanding tournament,” comments Ripley. “He was solid from all three positions and scored points when he had the opportunity to score them and did not allow any easy points.” After K-M eighth-grader Patrick Kennedy won a 16-6 decision over Jack Fogarty at 145, Ben Kelvington responded with a quick first period pin of KoMet Ethan Shea at 152. Kelvington’s pin pulled Scott West to within four points at 16-12. Not to be out done K-M’s threetime state champion Brady Berge would be a little quicker with his first period pin of Ben Dvorak at 160. Berge’s pin was the start of a five-match KoMet win streak as the highly-regarded team now took control of the meet. It was Andy Bigelow using six take downs to score a 13-4 major decision over Deshawn Carter at 170. In what had become the second feature match of the meet, future state champion Aaron Berge used a couple of first period take downs to win a 5-1 decision over Tyler Buesgens at 182. The two wrestlers would meet later in the Individual State semi-finals with Berge winning that one 5-3 as he won his way to his first state championship. K-M’s Noah Ryan, who would also later go on to win his first state championship at 195, worked his way to a 15-5 major decision over freshman Calvin Menke. The score was tied at 1-1 in the match at 220 pounds when Scott West’s Tyler Grieves slipped behind Robert Akrapovic in overtime as it appeared Grieves was on the verge of a match-winning take down, but as he tried to return the KoMet wrestler to the mat, he ended up pulling him on top of himself, and in the ensuing scramble, Akrapovic got an ensuing pin fall call. Scott West junior heavyweight Ben Alexander closed out the meet with a pin over Cayden Johnson. Simley Meet It is somewhat well chronicled that Scott West has had little success on the state mats against Simley as the Spartans had beaten the Panthers in the state team tournament several times in recent years, including the 2009 first-round loss where it appeared to many that Scott West had outwrestled the Spartans, who then went on to win their second of what would become five consecutive state team championships. It appeared that the 2016 state team match for third place would start off in a positive direction for Scott West as freshman Tyler Shackle went right to work on Simley seventhgrader Ryan Sokol as he won the opening take down and then turned the young Spartan with a pair of first period arm bars to take a 6 -0 lead. However, a late first period reversal changed the direction of the match. With Sokol trailing 7-2 in the second period, he created a flurry of action that Shackle could not answer, and after four take downs, the score was 10-10 going into the third period, where Sokol would secure a 14-11 win.” Next Justin Stauffacher pinned Simley seventh-grader Quayin Short at 1:41 of the first period. The Spartans would respond with a pin of their own at 120

as #1-rated Jake Gliva pinned senior Brendan Mackedanz in the third period. Scott West got a major decision at 126 as Jackson Stauffacher used a pair of take downs and back points to beat senior Aaron Hingst 11-2. In the following match at 132, Scott West got a big 5-2 win as senior Carter Piche bettered freshman Anthony Dawson 5-2. Simley’s Anthony Jackson, who later went on to win the 138-pound state championship, used seven take downs to score a 15-6 major decision over Jack Fogarty at 138 that tied the team score at 13-13. But Scott West senior Ryan Siegle began a Panther three-match win streak and seize control of the meet for the first time, building a 25-13 team lead. All three of the wins would come from Scott West seniors as Siegle led the way with hard-fought 3-2 win over Mason Germain at 145. The win did not come easy as Siegle split his lip, and before the meet was concluded, had to receive five stitches. Scott West senior captain Ben Kelvington delivered a quick 55-second pin of Joe Matthews at 152. The three-match Scott West run was completed when senior Dylan Johnson scored a 10-6 win over Elliot Kirchert at 160. Johnson’s win had given the Panthers a 25-13 lead. Although Simley won the 170pound weight class by eventual freshman state champion Greg Kerkvleit’s 12-4 major decision over junior Deshawn Carter, Tyler Buesgens tightened down the Scott West lead with a first period pin of Mason Gilberg. After Calvin Menke lost an 8-3 battle to Zach Moon at 195, senior Tyler Grieves got the match-clinching win as he scored a third period take down of Brad Dohmen at 220 to secure a 4-0 win. Scott Wests heavyweight Josiah Schatz closed out the meet with a second period pin over Luke Zaiser that made the final score 40-20. “It was good to see Tyler Grieves get the match-winner in his last Rodeo as a Scott West Panther,” cites Ripley. “Overall, it was a really good meet for our seniors as six out of the seven of them in the lineup won their match.”

Individual Tournament

Jackson Stauffacher After advancing to the State semifinals with an 8-6 win over Simley’s Aaron Hingst and a 14-6 win over Hibbing’s A.J. Bethea, Scott West sophomore Jackson Stauffacher came up big in his state semifinal match as he used a quick and crisp leg attack to open the scoring against Albert Lea’s Zach Glazier, who had placed third in the state last year at 106. Stauffacher made his early lead stand up as he went on to win a 3-2 decision. It would be a familiar foe for Stauffacher in the state championship match as he faced Delano’s Tucker Sjomeling. The two talented wrestlers had wrestled for Section 2AA championships in the past and were now vying for 126-pound state title. Sjomeling has never lost to Stauffacher and he was able to keep it that way Saturday night as he won 10-3. After fighting off a couple of solid Stauffacher leg attacks, the Delano junior secured a take down of his own and then converted it into a pair of back points with a quick wrist tilt.

the match, Stauffacher did nail Sjomeling with a big headlock that sent the Tiger wrestler to his back but was unable to hold him there. Stauffacher finished the year with a 42-6 record. “Jackson had a really great year of wrestling as he really improved on his take down attacks,” states Ripley. “He will be back for more, and with another year of maturity and strength training, he will be back in the hunt for that state championship.” Ben Kelvington Scott West senior captain Ben Kelvington was also on the hunt for the state championship, and after getting a 9-4 opening-round win over St. Paul Johnson’s Luis Cirilo and a 6-2 quarterfinal win over Dawson Boyd/Lac Qui Parle/ Montevideo’s Peyton Mortenson, the Panther 145-pounder found himself in the state semifinal meet for the first time in his career. Standing in his way was unbeaten, Logan Axford of Tracy-Milroy-Balaton. Axford scored the opening take down and take a 2-0 lead going into the second period. Kelvington tied the score with a reversal in the second period. Leading 3-2 in the third period, Axford scored a reversal that helped solidify an 8-2 win. Kelvington bounced back with a 2-0 win in the consolation semifinals over Pequot Lakes/ Pine River’s Nate Adkins with a hard second period ride and third period reversal. But it would be Kasson-Mantorville eighth-grader Patrick Kennedy who won a 6-4 third place battle with Kelvington. Kelvington finished the year with a 45-3 record. “Ben had a really good career as a Scott West wrestler and he was the center rock that held this year’s team together,” states Ripley. Tyler Buesgens Sophomore Tyler Buesgens became the third state semifinalist for Scott West as he also won his first two matches of the individual tournament. After losing the opening take down in his first match to AnnandaleMaple Lake’s Cory Schmidt, Buesgens came back to dominate the action in an 8-4 win. In his quarterfinal match against Bloomington Kennedy’s Noah Keith, Buesgens trailed 6-5 going into the third period before he recorded a dramatic matchending pin at 5:06. Next up was a semifinal rematch against Kasson-Mantorville’s Aaron Berge, and after a scoreless first period, Berge was able to take a 3-1 going into the third period with a take down en route to a hard-earned 5-3 victory. As his teammate Kelvington did, Buesgens came back with a 7-5 consolation semifinal win as he drove through South St. Paul’s Brandonn Gore on a late double leg take down to advance to the third and fourth place match, where he dropped

H.S. Girls’ Basketball

Belle Plaine Falls in First Round by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team ﬁnished the regular season strong with two wins in a row after a 5453 road win at Lake CrystalWellcome Memorial Thursday night. The Tigers had wrapped up the conference season the week before with a road win at Le Sueur-Henderson. But much of the damage had already been done before that two-game winning streak as Belle Plaine had lost all but two of its game before then, resulting in a No. 7 seed and a trip to St. Peter to take on the No. 2 seed Saints in Saturday night’s Section 2AA, North Subsection Tournament opener. The result was a 42-point loss, ending the Tigers’ season with an overall record of 4-22. “It was a tough season for us win-wise with all the injuries we had throughout the season,” said Belle Plaine coach Randy Carlson. “But we improved and kept playing hard. Good things will be happening in the future. We have a great group coming back and have a lot of very good young players coming up. The future looks bright for the program. This will be a big offseason for us as we will need to continue to work on our skills. With a lot of hard work and effort, we are looking forward to a great season next year.”

Boys’ Basketball in this game but in the end our team defense was too much for them,” said Tigers coach Paul Fogarty. Tigers 68, Jordan 58 The Tigers scored 14 unanswered points to break up what had been a 53-53 deadlock and pull away from rival Jordan for their second straight 10-point victory in the postseason. Before the run, the two teams exchanged leads all game long in what was a loud, jam-packed gym at New Prague High School. “Brody Curtiss and Branden Schulz were terrific on both ends of the court,” Fogarty said. “Luke Narveson had numerous assists and Nathan Herman and Mitchel Stier played more than solid on both ends of the court. The atmosphere in New Prague could not have been better for a tournament game,” Fogarty said. The Tigers had only six players score in the contest, but four of them were in double figures – Curtiss (20), Schulz (16), Herman (12) and Narveson (10). Stier added eight points and Matt Nelson two. Other statistical leaders for Belle Plaine were Narveson (eight assists, six rebounds and four steals); Stier (seven rebounds); Curtiss (five assists and four steals); Herman (five rebounds); and Schulz

(five assists and one steal). Tigers 56, NYA 52 The second half was not as close as the final score would indicate as the Tigers led by double-digits most of the way before a very late spurt by the Raiders made the final difference just four points. Belle Plaine, which trailed 26-25 at halftime, led 54-43 with 50 seconds to play. The leading scorers for the Tigers were Stier (17), Narveson (15), Curtiss (9), Herman (8) and Schulz (7), the latter of whom shot 7 of 8 from the free throw line in the second half. Stier led the team in rebounds with 11. Narveson also had a double-double with 10 rebounds. Curtiss and Herman added nine and seven rebounds, respectively. Fogarty said the key to the game was defense. “The combined defense of Brody Curtiss and Branden Schulz stifled the guards for Norwood and our team defense turned out to be the difference in this game.”

Tigers 54, LCWM 53 The Tigers jumped out to an 8-0 lead only to lose it and fall behind 18-14. The game remained close from that point on, including the final ticks on the clock when the Knights missed a shot to preserve a onepoint victory for the Tigers. “We made a lot of plays down the stretch to help us win,” Carlson said. Alissa Schultz (12), Paige Narveson (11) and Elizabeth Johnson (10) were in double figures scoring for the Tigers. Ireland Lambrecht and Schuyler Sterk both had seven points, followed by Alexa Lenz with four and Lily Vinkemeier three. Lambrecht has 12 rebounds, while Schultz and Sterk both had 10. Johnson had five assists and two steals. St. Peter 72, Tigers 30 The Saints flew to a 48-14 lead in the first half of what was a complete blowout Saturday night in St. Peter. “St. Peter showed up ready to play and we were not ready to play at that level,” Carlson said. “We seemed a step slow on everything and never got any flow to our offensive game . . . Give credit to St. Peter though – they are a very good team and well coached.” Narveson, a junior, accounted for 23 of Belle Plaine’s 30

Tigers Conquer Subsection, State Tournament Recap Will Play Maple River for State Tourney Berth Friday

H.S. Wrestling

The Scott West wrestling team closed out the season at the Minnesota State Class 2A Tournament at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul as the Panthers wrestled their way to third place on Thursday before having three individuals secure high state placings on Friday and Saturday. “We finished the year with a 17-5 team record but we went 5-1 in the postseason when it mattered most,” states Scott West co-head coach Darren Ripley. “Coach Kipp’s assessment was correct when he stated that we would finish higher at state (top 3) than we would our Section 2AA seed (4).” After beating Wabasso-Red Rock Central 35-25 in the first round of the team tournament, the Panthers had the unenviable task of taking on unbeaten and #1-rated Kasson-Mantorville in the semifinals. While both Scott West and Kasson-Mantorville are perennial state tournament

teams, the two had met only once before at state with the Panthers winning a 36-19 semifinal meet in 2011. This year, Scott West freshman 106-pounder Tyler Shackle made the opening statement as he scored a late take down amid a flurry of third period action to beat #5-rated Robby Horsman 7-6 and give the Panthers an early 3-0 team lead. Unfortunately for the Panthers, Shackle’s start could not be sustained as the KoMets won the next four matches with all of them being highly-contested with points hard to come by for both sides. At 113 pounds, K-M’s #5-rated Jared Johnson used a pair of take downs to better Justin Stauffacher 5-3, and then #9-rated Brady Laumb followed with a 4-0 decision over Brendan Mackedanz at 120. That would bring the meet to one of the feature matches of the day as returning state champion Keaton Schorr won

a 5-3 overtime winning take down over Scott West’s Jackson Stauffacher at 126. Although Carter Piche scored the opening take down on Garsen Schoor at 132 pounds, the KoMet wrestler came back with a second period escape and take down to win a 3-2 decision to give the KoMets a 12-3 team lead. “It was a hard-fought stretch of wrestling there where they were just a point or two better than us in each match,” states Ripley. “We just needed to win a couple of these close matches to have a realistic chance of winning the meet.” Scott West’s Ryan Siegle would have a huge state team tournament performance as he went 3-0. It was Siegle that ended the K-M four-match win

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School boys’ basketball team, which had dropped its first-round playoff game at home each of the previous two seasons against a Minnesota River Conference team, decided enough was enough this year and defeated three MRC foes in three cities in six days en route to the Section 2AA, North Subsection championship. The Tigers, the No. 1 seed in the South Subsection, started their postseason run last Tuesday with a 73-63 triumph against No. 8 seed Tri-City United in Belle Plaine. They followed that up with another 10-point win (68-58) against No. 4 seed Jordan Friday night in New Prague. This past Mon-

day night, they took their show to Bresnan Arena on the campus of Minnesota State University Mankato, where they outlasted No. 3 seed Norwood Young America 56-52. The Raiders, who beat Belle Plaine in the final regular season game, were coming off an impressive 56-39 win over No. 2 seed St. Peter. Belle Plaine, 19-8 overall, will meet South Subsection No. 1 seed and champion Maple River for the Section 2AA championship and a trip to next week’s state tournament. The Tigers and Eagles are scheduled to tipoff 8 p.m. this Friday at Bresnan Arena. Maple River, 25-3 on the season, defeated No. 2 seed Waterville-Elysian-Morristown 51-46 in Monday’s nightcap at Bresnan.

Tigers 73, TCU 63 The Tigers had five players score between 12 and 18 points and that would be all they needed as they eliminated the Titans 73-63 last Tuesday night in Belle Plaine. Luke Narveson had 18 points, 17 rebounds and three steals, both team highs. The other four scorers for Belle Plaine were Nathan Herman (16), Brody Curtiss (14), Branden Schulz (13) and Mitchel Stier (12). Curtiss dished out seven assists, while Herman and Stier both had eight rebounds. “TCU made some tough shots

A Void in the Family Filled

B.P. Woman Finally Meets Her Cousin

Unseasonably Warm Addison Zimmerman (on scooter) and Cody Rockman (aboard a bike) demonstrated their trick riding skills Saturday afternoon at the Belle Plaine Skate Park at Heritage Square Park. The park was busy with people using the basketball court and playground, enjoying unseasonably mild weather. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 58 degree temperature broke a 120-year-old record for the day (Feb. 27).

Thank You, Mr. President

She remembers the photo attached to her grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refrigerator. He was the cousin she never met, a void in a tight familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history she longed to know more about. Never one to be denied for no good reason, Kristy Bieder took matters into her own hands. She set out to fill the hole. Bieder set out to find her cousin. A Belle Plaine area resident, Bieder grew up as Kristy Leach in Askov, Minn. As a child, she spent a lot of time at Grandma Bettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house in Askov, a small town northeast of Hinckley. She remembers asking Grandma Betty about the photo of a child on the fridge. She was told his name was Christopher James. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boy,â&#x20AC;? Bieder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were never really told anything more.â&#x20AC;? Jim Leach, her uncle, was married briefly in 1988, a year after he met Lana. She had a child, though the identity of the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father at the time was never a certainty. Today, the family has no doubt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He looks just like Jim. He has the same eyes, the same grin,â&#x20AC;? Kristy said. Jim Leach met Lana when he worked for the prison system in California. He was on a temporary assignment to a prison near Atlanta when he met Lana. The couple was married in Askov. But when the marriage ended, Lana moved back to the South. Lana told Jim she was pregnant after returning to Vaucluse, S.C. At 39, Bieder remembers a close relationship with her uncle. He remarried but never had children. Jan. 30, 2011, Jim Leach passed away from cancer. He was 55. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was always there for us girls,â&#x20AC;? she said. The news was devastating for Christopher. He had hoped to one day meet his father. Christopher and his wife have a son and daughter he hoped would one day meet their grandfather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really sad,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You Could tell . . .â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Oak Crest Elementary School fourth-grader Victoria Miller portrayed President Abraham Lincoln during the annual Presidential Conference at the school. Twenty-five fourth-graders represented past American presidents -- from John Adams to William Clinton -- and presented information on the presidents they learned through research. The students dressed like the presidents. Miller used Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stovepipe hat. She is pictured above presenting her research to her grandmother, Patsy Miller.

Kristy frequently visited her uncle. His only stay in the hospital, the family received word. Kristy and her sister went there immediately and spent night with Jim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He passed during the night,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could tell she was his favorite,â&#x20AC;? said Ginger Leach, Kristyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom.

Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kristy Bieder (right) recently met her cousin, Christopher Leach (left), after years of chatting on the phone and electronic correspondence. Bieder travelled to her cousinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house in North Augusta, S.C. to meet him. She began her search for Christopher the night after Jim died. His passing sparked interest in the boy and how he had grown up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew he was out there. If he was Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, I wanted to be part of his life. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only thing we have left of Jim,â&#x20AC;? she said. Bieder began searching for her cousin. She knew he grew up in the South, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know exactly where. Bieder spent several hours over a couple of days scouring social media looking for a Christopher Leach or Chris Leach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are hundreds of Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or Christophers in several different states,â&#x20AC;? she said. Bieder finally found her cousin in Vaucluse, S.C., a small community in western South Carolina, not far from Augusta, Ga. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve traded e-mails, phone calls and photographs over the past five years. After seeing his photo as an adult, the relation is clear, Ginger Leach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe anybody was looking for him,â&#x20AC;? Bieder said. Along with the reunion via Facebook, Bieder delivered the news to Christopher his father passed away. Christopher and his father had spoken a couple times while he was just a boy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was heart-breaking. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

want to tell him,â&#x20AC;? Bieder said. Christopher was hopeful and confidente he would one day meet the family he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know from his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been impressed with how welcoming Kristy has been. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to meeting members of his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just so nice, so kind,â&#x20AC;? he said. After corresponding with Christopher for five years, Bieder decided it was time to meet her cousin in person. She traveled to South Carolina last month to meet him. Biederâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother and husband questioned the trip. But they are well aware her strong will made arguing a waste of time. Bieder had the surprise trip set up with a Christopherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife. One day last month, she knocked on Christopherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s door in North Augusta, S.C. The two hit it off, she said. They spent a few days getting acquainted and catching up on their families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a joker, just like Jim,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the cutest southern drawl.â&#x20AC;? The family is planning a reunion in Askov later this spring, just in time for Grandma Bettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 93rd birthday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad is super excited,â&#x20AC;? Kristy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve missed out on 27 years. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unbelievable. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excited.â&#x20AC;?

Denver Trip Fund-raiser St. John Lutheran Church hosted a Family Fun Event Sunday (Feb. 28) in the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common area. The event included games, raffles, a bean bag tournament and food all geared toward raising money for the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth traveling to Denver, Col. to work with disadvantaged people and communities. The group of 21 youth and four adults will travel to Denver July 9-15.

years the Scott-Le Sueur WMA chapter has been building houses, volunteers and young people have built about 5,000 houses for placement in nesting areas, Wolf said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The businesses and volunteers, they make this happen,â&#x20AC;? Wolf said. Sunday was the 15th time Einertson participated in the annual wood duck house building day. Young people assembled 266. The remaining 34 were assembled quickly by some of the volunteers. Einertson enjoys sharing knowledge about wood ducks and a love of the outdoors with young people. Many of the youngsters he and the other vol-

unteers help build a wood duck house have never held a drill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a 2Â˝ year old. I pulled the trigger and he pushed down on the drill. He was happy he was doing something,â&#x20AC;? Einertson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a big smile. It was a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;? Many of the youngsters the volunteers worked with live in town. The houses they built will likely end up at relatives houses or on land near a wetland where wood ducks will nest, he said. Flynn lives in Belle Plaine. She enjoys putting things together and scrap booking. She appreciates the beauty of wood ducks, a perching bird considered one of North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most attractive waterfowl.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just like doing this. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun,â&#x20AC;? she said. Flynn gained some comfort level in Joe Deutschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial arts class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like putting things together. Its artistic.â&#x20AC;? Einertson teaches gun safety of the MWA. Retired from the Scott County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, he has more time for projects like building wood duck houses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted to give something back. I enjoy that,â&#x20AC;? he said. He learned of the building project from Wolf, a former coworker. The group started building wood duck houses 17 years go at the American Legion in Montgomery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about passing along a legacy of love of the outdoors.â&#x20AC;?
