Scott West Takes Second; Council Awards Bid for 2014 Siegle, Fogarty Win Gold Street Improvement Project

by Dan Ruud The Scott West wrestling team made plenty of noise at last week’s Minnesota State Class 2A Tournament at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. It placed second in the team competition and crowned two individual state champs. The Panthers also had one runner-up and one third-place finisher.

The action started Thursday morning with the team tournament, which started well for the third-seeded Panthers as they rolled past Milaca-Faith Christian 40-27 in the quarterfinals.

Scott West had only minutes to celebrate the victory as up next was Class 2A’s secondranked team, Foley. The Panthers’ lightweights pounced on the Falcons early as Scott West grabbed an 18-3 lead. Foley came back strong in the middle and upper weights as it closed to within 24-23 heading into the final match, where Scott West sophomore heavyweight Josiah Schatz earned the most dramatic victory of the day with a pin of A.J. Belanger in the closing seconds that launched Schatz’s teammates, coaches and fans into a loud and animated celebration.

This time, the Panthers had Scott West’s Zach Siegle’s high school wrestling career came about four hours to enjoy the to an end with the referee raising his arm following the 138win and get a bite to eat before pound championship Saturday night at Xcel Energy Center. the 7 p.m. state championship match. It was no surprise that top-ranked Simley was the opponent as the Spartans, who had won five of the past six state titles, including two against Scott West, had dismantled both its opponents earlier in the day, including defending state champion Kasson-Mantorville.

The Panthers proved to be by far the Spartans’ toughest competition in the tournament but came up short 33-21 (see details inside).

by Dan Ruud For the first time in a decade, Chard Tiling and Excavating of Belle Plaine will not be the contractor for the city’s annual street and utility improvement project.

The Belle Plaine City Council Monday night unanimously elected to award the 2014 contact to William Mueller and Sons of Carver at the low bid of $1,074,444, which is $173,535 below the engineer’s estimate of $1,247,979.

City Engineer Joe Duncan attributed the lower bid to the city once again bumping up the bidding process in order to have the project out there before contractors fill their schedules for the construction season.

Four other bids were received – Chard Tiling and Excavating ($1,082,453), BCM Construction ($1,122,644), Heselton Construction ($1,185,438) and Northdale Construction ($1,293,040).

Earlier this year, the council approved the final plans and authorized the advertisement of bids for this year’s project, which will include the reconstruction of Raven Street between Meridian and Walnut streets, Chestnut Street between Park Street and Commerce Drive, and Cedar Street between Park Street and Commerce Drive.

Last September, the council authorized the preparation of the final plans and specifications for the project. But following feedback from a number

of affected property owners and a petition signed by 39 people, the council agreed to reduce the number of proposed sidewalks in the project area by almost half. The council also decided to keep the cul-de-sac at East Raven Street as is.

The final plan approved by the council calls for sidewalks only on the west side of Chestnut and Cedar streets and the south side of Raven Street.

Work is expected to begin in the spring. A final assessment hearing will be held later this year after most of the project is completed.

In other business Monday night, the council unanimously accepted the plans and authorized the advertisement of bids for rehabilitation of the city’s No. 4 well. The estimated cost of the project is $100,000 to $120,000, which the city had budgeted for this year.

Well No. 4 was built in 2001, six years before the construction of the new water treatment facility. The well was built to pump water directly to the elevated storage tank, and since the completion of the water treatment facility in 2007, the well was converted to an abovegrade discharge head inside the new plant.

City Engineer Joe Duncan reported that as a cost-savings measure and to obtain a full and useful life from the equipment, the motor, pump and drop pipe were not modified or replaced at that time. The existing pump equipment has since failed and

Duncan recommended that properly-sized equipment be installed to better accommodate the existing conditions. *Unanimously accepted a $6,613 donation from the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce for the purchase of 27 4-footlong benches for the Tiger Park baseball field. The Belle Plaine Baseball Association (BPBA) had requested the donation in anticipation of the 2014 Minnesota State Amateur Baseball Tournament. The funds being donated are from lawful gambling funds. The benches will replace the existing chairs on the viewing deck along the right-field side. The benches are specifically designed for the outdoors and are made from 100 percent recycled plastics.

The total cost of the purchase is $8,410. The city will be chipping in $1,000 and the BPBA is contributing $797. In a separate agenda item, the council also unanimously approved temporary on-sale liquor licenses for the sale of strong beer at the tournament, which will be played Aug. 14-16, Aug. 21-23 and Aug. 29-31. *Unanimously accepted a donation of $500 from the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce for downtown directional signs. The city and chamber are combining for the purchase and installation of two “Downtown” directional (arrow) signs on both sides of Highway 169

Individual Highlights

Zach Siegle, a BPHS senior, ended his high school wrestling career Saturday night in downtown St. Paul just the way he had always dreamed he would – as a state champion.

Siegle, who finished the season with a record of 49-1, won the Class 2A 138-pound championship with a 6-2 decision over James Berg of New Prague. Siegle, the son of Dave and Donna Siegle, had defeated three previous opponents by a combined score of 14-2 to reach the title match.

Siegle, who was third at state last year and was fourth his sophomore year, said winning the coveted state title was a relief.

“It’s been my goal every year,” said Siegle, adding that he “just hung out with friends” the rest of Saturday night, including a trip to McDonald’s during the drive home. “We saw McDonald’s and figured we’d better go.”

Siegle’s brother, Jake, took third place in the 2011 state individual tournament.

Zach Siegle said he plans to attend the University of Minnesota this fall and is uncertain about his future wrestling plans.

Included in the McDonald’s stop Saturday night was Siegle’s teammate, Andrew Fogarty, who was riding home in the same vehicle and was also celebrating a state championship. He, like Siegle, won all seven of his matches at St.

Scott West’s Andrew Fogarty got a hug from assistant coach Al Flynn moments after winning the 160-pound championship Saturday night at Xcel Energy Center.

Paul Thursday through Saturday (three in the team tourney and four in the individuals).

Fogarty a junior at Jordan High School and son of Bob and Sarah Fogarty, captured the Class 2A 160-pound championship with ease, pinning two of his opponents and outscoring the other two by a combined 18-0, including an 11-0 victory over Thomas Miller of Plainview-Elgin-Millville in the finals. Fogarty finished the season with a record of 48-1.

Fogarty, who placed third the previous two years, won his first state championship three years after his brother, Gabe, won his first as a member of Scott West.

Gabe currently wrestles at St. Cloud State University, where in 2013 he earned All-American honors.

Andrew’s other brother, Dillon, placed second at state in the same weight class as Gabe (160) in 2009. The uncles of the three Fogarty wrestling brothers, Ed and Andy, both wrestled in the state tourney in 1984.

With the first title now “under his belt,” Andrew said he definitely plans to shoot for number

two next year.

Scott West’s Derek Dahlke, a senior at BPHS, came close to finishing his high school wrestling career with a state championship. He roared through the first three rounds of the individual tournament before running into rival and fellow senior Josh Selly of Tri-City United in the 170-poind championship.

Selly made a fast start hold up as he held on to win the state title with a 7-5 decision.

Dahlke recently signed a letter of intent to play baseball at Augustana College next year. The diverse athlete was also all-conference in football this year as a wide receiver, defensive back and punter for the Belle Plaine High School football team. He is the son of Darwin and Susy Dahlke.

Scott West junior David Flynn made it to the semifinals of the 126-pound tournament before losing, and then battled back through the wrestlebacks to claim third.

When you put it that way, Jans’ apprehension about jumping into the ice-covered Round Lake is worthwhile.

A pile of rubble is all that’s left of a vacant building at 100 block of East First Street in downtown Jordan. The building collapsed Friday night (Feb. 28). Leaking natural gas kept firefighters on the scene until Saturday morning. The cause of the collapse is still undetermined.

Vacant Building Collapses in Downtown Jordan Friday Night

Investigators are still looking at what caused a vacant building in downtown Jordan to collapse Friday night.

Firefighters were dispatched to the 100 block of East First Street in downtown Jordan around 11:30 p.m. The building used to house a cabinet shop and before that a grocery store.

There were no injuries reported in the collapse.

But firefighters were a long way from going home. They

immediately discovered a gas leak that kept them on the scene until Saturday morning, said Jordan Fire Chief Steve Kochlin.

Crews tried to shut off the underground natural gas line, but frost estimated as far below ground as 6 feet hampered their efforts.

The gas was finally shut off Saturday by 10:30 a.m.

The chief said an insurance company crew has yet to begin

Donations Recognized

Belle Plaine Mayor Mike Pingalore, center, presented certificates of appreciation this past Monday night to Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kelly Melo and Chamber President Josh Selbrade in recognition of the chamber’s recent donations to the city of funds totalling over $7,000, most of which will be used for new spectator benches at the Tiger Park baseball field. A smaller amount will be used to help pay for the new “Downtown� directional (arrow) signs that will be installed on both sides of Highway 169 at the intersection of County Road 3/Meridian Street.

City Council (continued from page 1)

at the County Road 3/Meridian Street intersection at a cost of approximately $2,000. The signs will direct motorists unfamiliar with Belle Plaine from Highway 169 to the downtown area. Over the past several months, staff has been working with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, from which the city recently received approval to install the signs in the

two locations. *Unanimously approved a resolution modifying the sign advertisement policy at the Prairie Park softball complex.

Among the changes that will be made are that instead of permanent advertising signs, there will be a banner about 4 by 8 feet in size that will have logos printed on it for the business that paid to advertise for that particular season. The banner will be removed at the end of the season and new ones will be created annually. The cost for

each 12- by 12-inch individual space will be $250 per season. *Public Works Superintendent Al Fahey reported that the department recently completed the annual report to the state for water use. “Conservation efforts by the community and the wet spring have once again reduced our annual pumped volume,� stated Fahey. “We pumped 217,632,000 gallons this year compared to 244,310,000 gallons last year – a reduction of 26,678,000 gallons.�

Deaths

Doris Bartholomew

Doris Bartholomew, 68, of Belle Plaine, passed away on Saturday, March 1, 2014 at the University of Minnesota Medical Center in Minneapolis.

Funeral services are pending with the Kolden Funeral Home in Belle Plaine.

Henriette J. (Grieger) Davis Henriette Johanna (Grieger) Davis, 101, of Belle Plaine, formerly of Chaska and Shakopee, passed away Sunday, March 2, 2014 at The Lutheran Home of Belle Plaine.

Memorial Service will be held Tuesday, March 11 at 11 a.m. at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 4th and Oak Street, Chaska, with The Reverend Greg Snow officiating. The visitation will be Monday, March 10 from 4-7 p.m. at the Bertas Funeral Home, 200 W. 3rd St., Chaska, and also one hour prior to service at church. The inurnment will be at St. John’s Lutheran Cemetery, Chaska.

Henriette was born April 5, 1912 (Good Friday) and baptized April 7, 1912. Her parents were August and Laura (Reiter) Grieger of Lewisville, MN. She and her only brother, Donald, had a wonderful, carefree childhood and wonderful parents. She attended grade school and one year of high school at the Lewisville Public School. For her second year of high school she made her home with her aunt and

uncle to attend Mankato High School. From there, the last 2 years were spent at Dr. Martin Luther College in New Ulm. She graduated from high school in 1929. Her intentions were to continue college and become a teacher but fate intervened. Her father was ill and she was needed at home. She found work at a grocery store in Lewisville. She put in strenuous hours of work 6 days a week. Her wages were $30 per month (the Depression was on). After 15 years, she made the move to Minneapolis and found employment at Butler Brothers Wholesale House which is now known as Butler Square. It was here that she met her husband, Walter Davis.

They were married October 30, 1948. Their son, Patrick, was born in 1950. In 1955, they made the transition to Chaska, thinking that a smaller town environment would be better than the city for Patrick. It proved true. In 1975, she moved to Shakopee and lived in the same apartment for 31 years, making many friends. From there, she went to live in a beautiful assisted living home, then into The Lutheran Home in Belle Plaine to be near her dear friend Juliann Sears.

Music was her number one love from grade school on. She loved to play the piano, often from memory. She has compiled a whole binder of songs. These were songs she either memorized the words and/or the music itself in the last few years. At Dr. Martin Luther College she participated in the accordion band. This band toured to Chicago for competition.

Letter writing was another hobby. Her list of friends, relatives and pen pals circled the States, from all across Minnesota to Wisconsin, Ohio, Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, Florida, Alabama, Texas, California, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The last several years, she had to depend on volunteers to write letters so her letter writing was limited.

Survivors include son and daughter-in-law, Patrick and Sheila Davis; grandsons, Michael and Adam; sister-inlaw, Evelyn Grieger; nephew, Brian Grieger; great-nephew, Steffan Grieger, Patti Grieger; and many relatives and friends.

Preceded in death by her parents; husband, Walter; and brother, Donald.

SCHS Summer Internships The Scott County Historical Society is seeking energetic interns for summer 2014 to assist in a number of museum projects. If you are interested in museum education, curatorship, conservation, marketing or just history/nonprofit work in general, we offer a number of great opportunities for interns. These unpaid positions will run for approximately three months, with flexible hours.

Interns must be under- or postgraduate students with some background or interest in history, education or nonprofit/ museum work. Previous experience conducting research is a plus. Applicants should be enthusiastic, creative and willing to work on a variety of projects, with strong written and oral communication skills. Selected interns will oversee projects based on their interests and the

priorities of the museum.

Interning at SCHS will give students a great introduction to the field of local history and nonprofit work, as well as help build contacts and personal interests. SCHS will work with institutions to fulfill requirements for students wishing to receive credit for their internship experience.

To apply, send resume, letter of interest and two references to: Kathleen Klehr, Executive Director, Scott County Historical Society, 235 Fuller St. South, Shakopee, MN 55379.

No Wednesday 4:30 p.m.

Mass until further notice ***** Some from here were among those who enjoyed the White

Linen “Countdown to Spring” party at the Parish activities center at St. Wenceslaus Saturday after the 4 p.m. Mass. Live music entertained the guests during dinner and refreshments by a group called “Whoops-aDaisy”.

The Catholic United Financial Matching grant spaghetti dinner, bake sale last Friday was a huge success.

The Ladies Altar Society raffled off the handmade quilt they donated and sold chances for it at the breakfast Sunday morning and the winner was Ann Meger.

Humor Corner: After a basketball game the coach found a cell phone on the gym floor. He picked it up and handed it to one of the referees, saying, “Here’s your phone.”

“What makes you think it’s mine?” the ref asked. “Easy” the coach replied, “It says you missed 13 calls.”

St. Thomas At St. Thomas Catholic Church, Mass is scheduled for Sunday, March 23 at 9 a.m. with Father James Burns.

At St. Anne’s in Le Sueur, masses are scheduled at 5:15 p.m. Saturdays and 8 and 10:30 a.m. Sundays with Father George Grafsky.

Sportsman News: We appreciate David Patrick Connelly for his time served on the board. The new board is as follows: President Brandon O’Connell, Vice President James Oak, Secretary Bill Meger and Treasurer Jason Retka.

First timer at the Eyeball last Wednesday, C. J. Foskett IV, aka “C4” of Henderson.

This cold weather and the icy roads aren’t keeping all St. Thomas folks home and warm by the fire: A few from here enjoyed “Masopust,” the Czech Mardi gras, held at the Legion in Montgomery, Sunday March 2. Glenn Wondra and his Country Gentlemen entertained, with lots of Czech merchandise and baked goods on display for the silent auction. A great lunch was served with pork, dumplings, sauerkraut, zelnicky…

A fun bunch from St. Thomas joined the festivities at the Caribou Gun Club where the second Annual Scotch Doubles Pool Tournament was held in an attempt to raise money for the Team Gregger’s Leggers.

This team is a group of Gregg Voss’s family and friends who gather each year to participate and walk in the month of May honoring Gregg and benefiting the National Parkinson Foundation Minnesota. Raffles with many fabulous prizes, food, and many enjoyed the pool tournament and tons of other fun festivities. Gregg is a “Class of 67” Le Sueur graduate, father of three, whose passions are family, fishing, hunting and traveling, probably in that order.

Another fun bunch, Ryan Halloran, Davie Connelly, Corrine Connelly, and Fran Tiegs, along with Fran’s grandson, Jack Hart, were among the crowd at the “Friends of Rush River Dance” entertained by the Dakota Ramblers at the Henderson Event Center Saturday night.

Camrie Vlasak, our granddaughter, who attends college in the Fargo and Moorhead area, has enjoyed the first part of her spring break in Florida with three friends and the second part working hard, helping to move her dad from Chaska to Eden Prairie. Which did she enjoy more? “Friends and weather down there, family and being productive up here.” Good answer.

Don’t mistake activity for achievement. Busyness does not equal productiveness.

Have a good week, folks.

But former mayor Ron Jabs, one of the creators of the proposal, stresses the idea is still in the proposal stage. The building comes with a $6,000 operational cost plus janitorial services.

Historical preservationists have long eyed the vacant building. With the chamber and city also needing space a potential partnership is coming together.

The city recently repaired the roof. Ed Shukle, Jordan’s city administrator, supported the idea, noting a historical society should have a main street presence.

No one was able to find Belle Plaine’s 2014 Shamrock Medallion following the publishing of the first clue last Wednesday.

Published below is clue 2 preceded by clue 1.

The medallion is hidden within the city limits (see city limits map on the city of Belle Plaine’s website). It is located on public property and is not more than 6 feet off the ground. It's also not located on the Historical House property or "inside" the Tiger Park baseball field.

The medallion is about 2 inches in diameter and has "Belle Plaine St. Patrick's Day" inscribed on it. The prize for finding it is $100 in Belle Plaine Bucks.

The Shamrock Medallion Hunt is a community event.

Participants do not need to be of Irish descent. If you find it, call Tom Meger at Golden Touch Jewelry at 873-2265.

If medallion is not found this week, a third will be published in next Wednesday’s Herald.

Wickenhauser in Running for Miss Teen Minnesota Hilary Wickenhauser of Cologne has been named as Miss Teen Carver County International 2014 and is competing for Miss Teen Minnesota March 8 in St. Cloud at the Ritchie Auditorium.

The daughter of Anna and Don Wickenhauser of Cologne, Hilary’s platform is “Readers to Leaders helping end illiteracy throughout the world.” She is working with Lions Club International and the Cologne Leos to collect books to give to families without the financial resources to buy their own. Wickenhauser and the Cologne Leos have collected over 20,000 books with

the help of the Lions Clubs of 5M2. They have sent 5,000 children’s books to Bernie’s Book Bank in Chicago to go to low income families in the Chicago suburbs. They have also sent 1,200 books to Lesotho Africa and built their library.

Through Operation Paperback they have been able to send over 3,000 books to soldiers currently serving and to their families waiting for them at home. Their current projects include processing the books they have and going to the Red Lake Indian Reservation to help them fill their library shelves and give to the families.

They will be building a library in Freeport Bahamas after the Red Lake Project. The Cologne Leos also started a free Reading in the Park program last summer for families to come with their children. The children were read a book then they did an activity and had a snack relating to the children’s book.

(continued from page 1) in the Special Olympics Polar Plunge at Round Lake Park Saturday, (March 8, noon).

Each plunger has to raise at least $75 in donation for the privilege of jumping into an ice-covered lake or pond. The seven Turtles are a small team compared to many who have and will participate in Special Olympics Polar Plunge events.

The last of the 17 plunge events to raise money for Special Olympics is March 15 in Grand Rapids, Minn. “Some are still deciding if they’ll be crazy or not,� said Jen Grabow, the head Mutant Ninja Teacher.

The team started a year ago under the guidance of Sara Hitchen and Jason Rahn. When they left Belle Plaine for jobs elsewhere, Grabow decided to push forward. “They loved it so much, we just had to keep it going,� she said.

The team name is borrowed from the 1990s animated children’s show, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.� Most the team’s members, Grabow said, are of an age to remember the crimefighting turtles in their heyday.

The Ninja Teachers hope to raise $700 for Special Olympics this year. They raised more money a year ago. But their work has kept the teaching staff so busy they haven’t had time for as many fund-raising activities as they did a year ago.

The Turtles organized a pot luck lunch for the other staff at Chatfield Elementary School earlier this winter. They raised $173 and would have brought in more had they not run out of food, Grabow said.

The Belle Plaine students in the ECSE program range from about age 2 to kindergarten age. Whether they are in the program for two or three years or two or three months, that’s plenty of time to form a bond between teacher and student. “We get pretty close to them and their families,� Grabow

College News Ashley Boggess of Belle Plaine graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stout at the December commencement ceremony with a BS Retail Merchandising and Management and a Business Administration minor.

said.

Like Grabow, whose enthusiasm and commitment to the plunge is undeniable, the Ninja Teachers know Special Olympics offers opportunities that will benefit their students. “It’s just such a good cause,�

Jans said. “We’re investing in the people we work with.�

There’s no doubt of Jans’ devotion to the special needs students in the Belle Plaine School District’s ECSE program. It’s the bone-chilling water that has her just a little bit concerned.

She like the idea of jumping as a team. But Jans is worried team spirit could dissolve into survival of the fittest once the bone-chilling water takes effect.

At 5-foot-4, Jans is concerned

she’ll barely be tall enough to keep her head above water. Her goal is to be the first out of the water.

Grabow is tall enough to afford a more cavalier approach. “The idea of jumping into an ice-covered lake is so crazy, you just can’t say no,� Grabow said.

When Grabow asked her to join the Turtlers, Jans contemplated a respectful decline. She considered a variety of excuses before finally agreeing to take the plunge – visiting a younger brother in North Dakota, a dentist appointment, shopping, “anything else I could think of.�

But Jans kept coming back to the benefit her students will receive from Special Olympics. “Jen’s a very good salesperson,� she said.

Superintendent’s Update

By Dr. Kelly Smith

Congratulations to our Scott West Panthers on a great showing at the State Wrestling Tournament this past weekend. The Panthers earned a State Runner-Up finish in the team competition after losing a hard fought match to perennial power Simley in the finals. In individual competition, Zach Siegle & Andrew Fogarty brought home championship medals, Derek Dahlke earned a second place finish and David Flynn earned 3rd place.

Congratulations on a great season to all of our wrestlers and coaches!

Both of our basketball teams were ousted in first round tournament play by neighboring rivals this year as the boy’s team lost a tough game to LeSueurHenderson at Belle Plaine last week and the girl’s team lost to Jordan in first round action on Monday night at Jordan. Congratulations on fine seasons everyone.

Our Robotics Team travels to Duluth this week to begin their regional competition on Friday and Saturday. This is the second year of competition for our team and after a great performance in their first year of competition the team is looking to build on that success this year. Good luck to all of you Cyber Tigers!

The Minnesota Legislature began the 2014 session this past week and already the action is fast and furious on a number of issues at the Capitol.

Before the session was one week old, legislators received word that the state budget forecast was improving by $408 million to have a biennial surplus of $1.23 billion. What to do with the surplus will undoubtedly be a major discussion throughout the session as suggestions have already been made to “give it all back�, to have targeted tax relief, to invest in infrastructure projects, to build up the state cash reserves and a mixture of all of the above.

Stay tuned as this issue will likely play out to the very end of the session.

The Safe Schools for All bill (the anti-bullying bill – HF0826) is up once again this session. After passing in the House last year, the bill did not receive final approval in the Senate as part of a session end agreement by leadership. This year, the bill is already on fast track for approval in the Senate and the Governor has indicated that he will sign the bill. Although most people would say preventing bullying is a good thing, there are concerns about the number of mandates within this bill that would require additional staffing within our schools. The estimated cost of implementation of this bill for districts is $20 million and there is no revenue attached to this bill for implementation.

A final bill that may have local implications is the Health Care Transparency Bill (HF2180). This bill would require school districts to secure a minimum of three bids for health insurance every two years with one of the bids needing to be from MN Public Employee Insurance Plan (PEIP). I am concerned that this proposal will provide more mandates forLegalschool Notices districts at a time when we are already working hard to make sure we are in compliance with the Affordable Care Act. I am hopeful that this bill will be significantly modified before passage or in a best case scenario, pulled back for a couple of years to let other health care legislation play out.

As always, if you have any questions about school matters, please feel free to call me at 873-2400, contact me via email at ksmith@belleplaine.k12. mn.us, via Twitter @BPTiger716 or check our website at www.belleplaine. k12.mn.us. Go Panthers and Tigers!

Cologne Eyes Downtown House, Lot for Redevelopment

Hoping to spur redevelopment of a lot and aging parcel in the downtown area, Cologne is looking at acquiring a house on Paul Avenue.

The city council unanimously agreed Monday (March 3) to offer Carver County $5,000 for the small parcel. City Administrator John Hendel said the county has a controlling interest in the property at 105 Paul Ave. N. If the county accepts the offer and the city acquires the house and lot, the city’s plan is to raze the house and list the property for sale. The city informally estimated demolishing the house would cost about $15,000.

“If they bite, we’ll get some inexpensive property out of it,” Mayor Matt Lenz.

The city would be able to recoup its costs in the sale of the property for redevelopment. Its hope, Hendel said, is to sell the parcel for as much as $25,000.

Initially, the city looked at the property for an office building.

Instead, the council will leave the decision to a buyer who’ll have to meet the city’s zoning.

The 1,089-square-foot house was built circa 1880, according to a Realtor’s online listing. The lot is about 4,300 square feet.

Support for UFC Plan

The city and United Farmers Cooperative are moving forward on plans to improve the Cologne Mill facility.

After a throughout review of

elements of the proposal during its Feb. 17 meeting, including the height of the elevator during the planning commission meeting, the city council expressed support for the $4.5 million project and the 20 new jobs it will eventually bring to Cologne. Councilors Scott Williams and Jeff McInnis supported the plan and said the council and UFC can work through any issues of concern.

Among the greatest issues of concern is the future of the historic antique store on Paul Avenue. The building has no part in UFC’s plans but the city doesn’t want the historic building razed.

UFC is willing to give the building to the city. Councilors indicated their desire for the co-op to move the building to another location.

In other action at the March 3 meeting, the Cologne City Council: •Paid bills totaling $67,071.88 • Discussed and tabled approval until its next meeting formal approval of an indemnity/insurance agreement with Cologne Academy.

• Discussed and re-tabled lease formal agreements for people using the community center gymnasium for athletic events or weddings and other social events.

• Discussed and tabled until its next meeting formal approval of an official city logo. Once The Minnesota

approved, it will be placed on the city’s Web site and phased in on city documents and public works equipment over time.

Cologne currently has three logos in use.

• Accepted the Carver County Water Management Organization’s 2014 Education Work Plan. The plan identifies target audiences and lists education programs and tools to specific audiences.

• Declared a 1989 Chevrolet pickup and a 1973 Ford truck with 1,500 gallon tank as surplus property and approved selling the items via sealed bid due March 7, 4 p.m., at Cologne City Hall.

Pet Adoption March 15 Volunteers for the CarverScott Humane Society will hold a pet adoption on Saturday, March 15 from noon to 3 p.m.

It will be hosted at PETCO in Eden Prairie, which is located off Highway 212 and Single Tree Lane.

Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic School (OLP) Student Council held a “Pennies for Patients” drive, raising funds for children with leukemia and lymphoma.

Each class brought in pennies, quarters, dimes, nickels and even the occasional dollar to support other children in need.

The top class was the 2-3 multiage classroom bringing in over $9 a student.

The student council will be rewarding the top class with a special treat. Student council members at OLP brought all of the coins to the State Bank of Belle Plaine to assist them with the counting of the many boxes of coins. After the tally was complete, OLP students raised over $154 for “Pennies for Patients.”

Service projects at OLP are determined by the OLP sixth grade student council. Each quarter they choose one service project to support. Beginning in Lent, students will be collecting “Socks for Service Men and Women.” In a pair of socks, students will be collecting personal products and treats to stuff the socks. If you would like to support this service project, please drop off your donations at the new building location for OLP, 200 East Church Street.

basically used three slide by take downs in winning 7-5.

“It was a great year by Derek Dahlke that continued all the way to the state championship match,” comments Ripley.

“What an exciting win in the semifinals.”

Unfortunately, all did not go as planned for all the Scott West individuals as #1-rated David Flynn did not reach the semifinals as the junior was caught and pinned in a first-period headlock by Worthington’s #2-rated and eventual two-time state champion Anthony Luft.

Flynn had beaten Luft 4-1 to win the Rumble on the Red Championships at mid-season and the loss would force the Scott West wrestler to regroup and wrestle his way back through the consolation bracket. Flynn did just that as he came back hard and scored four straight wins to place third in his bracket at 126 pounds.

“That’s the heart of a champion right there,” exclaims Ripley. “The hardest thing to do is to come back from an early loss and take third.”

Scott West had three other individual state qualifiers who did not place. Jackson Stauffacher at 106 pounds lost a tough opening match 5-2 to Worthington’s Hser Eh Pwae.

Sophomore 113-pounder Ben Kelvington, who like Stauffacher was making his first individual state appearance, was beaten 9-5 by BenildeSt. Margaret’s Jake Allar in the quarterfinals. Kelvington would come back with his second pin of the state individual tournament as he scrambled his way to a pin over St. Thomas Academy’s Josh Tarum, which moved Kelvington to within one win of placing in the top six of his weight class. However, that would not happen as Kelvington dropped a hard-fought 3-2 match to Annandale/Maple Lake’s Nate Carlson. Panther Ray Carter dropped his opening-round match 8-2 to Foley’s Tyler Midas.

Scott West would double up as the MWCA State Individual Team runner-ups as its seven wrestlers combined to score 91 teams points, which was 28 points behind the 119 points that were scored by Simley’s 13 state entrants. Kasson-Mantorville scored 79 points to finish in third place. The seven Panthers finished the year with these individual records: Jackson Stauffacher 35-10, Ben Kelvington 33-14, David Flynn 49-3, Zach Siegle 49-1, Andrew Fogarty 48-1, Derek Dahlke 40-8 and Ray Carter 26-11.

Being named to the Wells Fargo All-Tournament Team from Scott West were Flynn, Fogarty, Siegle and Stauffacher.

Bigaouette, Dauwalter, Fogarty, Karl, Lark, Nelson and Colton Hentges.

“We are going to miss our seniors next year,” Wellner said.

“It is going to be tough to replace two three-year starters and two three-year all-conference players that we had in Aaron Bigaouette and Gavin Dauwalter. They have been our anchors for the last three years and had great senior years. Sam Karl is one of the hardest working players that I have seen in Belle Plaine. He gave every ounce of energy he had while he was on the floor. Ricky Fogarty wasn’t flashy, but he was dependable and most important of all, he was consistent. He didn’t try to make a lot of spectacular plays; he made all the solid plays and he could be counted on in the final minutes. Colton Hentges had perhaps the toughest job of any of the seniors and I was so proud of how hard he practiced everyday. Mitch Nelson was a great team player. He was ready to go in the game and give the team whatever we needed.

Cameron Lark was a big surprise this year. He earned every minute he played with his performance and attitude.

“All in all, this (loss) doesn’t take away from the positives, “Wellner continued. “We finished third in the conference and won 15 games, which is the most wins for our team in seven years. Most important of all, our players competed and worked hard every game. This was a special group of seniors that led us and I will never forget this team and all the work they did.”

Dungey Picks Up Big Win Ryan Dungey of Belle Plaine picked up his first super cross race of the season in front of 59,919 fans Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Mike Alessi started the 20-lap 450SX Class Main Event and was followed by Dungey and Eli Tomac. Behind them, several of the championship’s leading title contenders encountered misfortune as Ryan Villopoto, the 450SX Class points leader, and Ken Roczen, second in the standings, crashed on the start straight. Just a few feet in front of them, James Stewart, third in the championship, crashed in the first turn. All three riders were able to get back on their bikes and re-enter the race at the tail end of the 22-rider field.

Out front, Alessi had established a gap over Dungey and Tomac, but Dungey soon closed the deficit and made a pass for the lead on lap four. Once out front, Dungey pulled away to a comfortable margin and win his 14th-career 450SX Class Main Event by nearly seven seconds.

Scott West sophomore heavyweight Josiah Schatz pinned Foley’s A.J. Belanger in the final match of the team semifinals Thursday. The dual-clinching victory launched the Panthers into the state finals and Scott West coach Darren Ripley (right) into Schatz’s arms.

over Ray Carter. The Falcons followed that win with a firstperiod pin of Luke Siemon by #6-rated Mitchell Struffert at 195 and the #9-rated Mitch Keeler would make it a 24-23 Scott West team lead heading into the heavyweight match as he bettered Jake Schultz 7-5 at 220 pounds.

It would all come down to the heavyweight match. With the meet on the line, the Panthers sent out the 6’5” sophomore Josiah Schatz and the mountain of a young man with a program record of 6-5 would go to the mat to do battle with senior A.J. Belanger, who came to the mat with a program record of 15-5.

“It was a match up that I had anticipated that this meet might come down to,” states Ripley.

“I was in Josiah’s ear throughout the week to let him know that he better be ready to go.”

And ready to go he was. After a scoreless first period, the young Panther put a hard ride on the Foley heavyweight as he forced a stall call on the Falcon wrestler. With the Schatz ride out, the score remained 0-0 going into the third period. That is when Schatz would choose the down position, and after fighting off a Belanger half-nelson, he got to his feet and scored a two-point reversal. It did not remain 2-0 for long as Schatz jumped to the front of the Foley wrestler with a half-nelson and powered him to his back that resulted in a match-ending and a 30-23 Scott West meetwinning pin fall call that came at 5:20 of the third period. The pin fall call would erupt into a Scott West team celebration as the Panthers were headed back to the state team championship meet for the third time in four years.

“I think it’s the most exciting win since I have been here,” exclaims Ripley.

In the championship meet, Scott West would meet a familiar foe in the Simley Spartans, who had won five straight Class 2A team titles before KassonMantorville knocked them off in last year’s championship meet. In the previous two, the Spartans had beaten Scott West 39-16 in 2011 and 36-22 in 2012. Scott West had also lost a 31-25 first-round meeting in 2009 to the Spartans.

This year’s state championship meet got off to a good start for the Panthers at 106 pounds as Jackson Stauffacher used a pair of take downs and escapes to score a 6-4 win over #4-rated Jake Gliva.

Unfortunately, the Panthers could not maintain that momentum as they lost back-toback one-point matches at 113 and 120 pounds against a pair of wins from seventh-graders – #6-rated Anthony Jackson and Greg Kerkvleit, respectively.

First, it was Jackson making a couple of take downs stand up in a 4-3 win over Ben Kelvington, while Kerkvleit rallied after losing the opening take down to win a 6-5 decision over Ryan Siegle.

The close matches would continue at 126 pounds, where a pair of highly-rated wrestlers took to the mats for both teams as #1 David Flynn took on #4

Cortez Arredondo. Arredondo scored the first points of the match as he drove through Flynn for the opening take down and a 2-1 first-period lead.

The second period began with the Simley wrestler choosing the down position, and that is where he would remain as Flynn kept him there with a hard ride out. A third-period escape for Flynn sent the match into overtime, where it would go to the dramatic ride out or get out scenario, and when Arredondo chose the top position, Flynn was able to scramble and kick away to win the match late in the 30-second tiebreaker.

With the team score now tied at 6-6, Jacob Backlund lost a hard-fought 5-4 decision to Simley’s Kyle Nordstrom at 132 pounds. The close losses for Scott West were starting to add up. The Panthers lost backto-back one point matches for the second time in the meet as Shane Abraham lost 3-2 to Zach Spychalla at 138 pounds.

With six matches wrestled and a total of seven match points being the sum total of the difference between the match winner and loser, Scott West 145pounder Zach Siegle broke that trend as the #1-rated Panther put up an 8-0 major decision over Spartan Jake Olmstead.

“The four one-point losses to this point really hurt our chances to win this meet,” comments Ripley. “However, only down 12-10 after Zach’s win meant that we still had a chance.”

That chance diminished at 152 pounds as #1-rated Mack Short scored a third-period pin of Dylan Johnson. Trailing 18-12, the Panthers had to make the decision to move up their lineup and that meant that Jack Storlie would go out at 160 against Simley’s Mikie Kubes, the latter of whom won 8-3.

Andrew Fogarty pulled the Panthers back to within 21-15 with an 18-3 technical fall over Josh Schmidt at 170 pounds.

Simley then send out its bonus transfer recruit that it picked up in late January as a free agent from Apple Valley. Trom Peterson had left Apple Valley when his spot on the team was possibly in danger to Indiana move-in Gable Stevenson. The #3-rated Peterson would win a hard-fought 5-2 battle against the bumped up and #2-rated Derek Dahlke. That gave the Spartans a 24-15 team lead. Peterson was greeted by a host of Apple Valley coaches that were at the back and side of the Simley team bench.

“I think that speaks volumes in of itself right there,” declares Ripley. “It lends credence to one of the best lines that came on the following day from an undisclosed Section 2AA coach – ‘I guess it took Simley and Apple Valley to beat you guys this year.’”

Simley 195-pounder Chris Baumann then scored a 6-5 win over Ray Carter, making it the Panthers’ fifth one-point loss of the meet. Next, Simley’s Jack Ryan put the state championship away for the Spartans as he scored a second-period pin of Jake Schultz at 220 pounds.

The meet would end with Josiah Schatz throwing Simley

“We needed that win, it’s been a long season,” said Dungey, who became the fifth different 450SX Class winner this season.

The championship standings experienced a shake-up as a result of the contenders’ various fortunes. Villopoto maintained possession of the lead, which now sits at 23 points over Dungey, who jumped from fourth to second. Roczen fell to third and faces a 26-point deficit, while Stewart dropped to fourth and is 30 points behind Villopoto.

“We certainly had our opportunities to win this meet, but credit Simley for winning five one-point matches,” states Ripley. “We had a great year as a team and the performance of our heavyweight Josiah Schatz is certainly a bright spot heading into next year.”

Individual Tournament The Panthers had seven wrestlers compete in the state individual tournament on Friday and Saturday. Scott West put together a good tournament here as well as it advanced three wrestlers to the finals for the first time since 1996 when Nick Slack (112) and Pat McNamara (130) won state titles, while Tony Gansen (152) finished second.

This year, the three Scott West wrestlers who advanced to the finals were Zach Siegle at 138 pounds, Andrew Fogarty at 160 and Derek Dahlke at 170.

Siegle was wrestling in his third individual state tournament and had placed fourth as a sophomore at 113 and third last year at 126 pounds. In Saturday night’s championship, Siegle went to the mat against New Prague’s James Berg for the second time this year and the third time in two years with Siegle winning each time.

The match did not get off to a good start for Siegle as Berg got underneath his defense and drove through for the opening double-leg take down. Siegle answered right back as he scored an escape and then took down Berg with a quick-sweep single that he finished for a 3-2 first-period lead. Siegle then took command of the match as he scored another escape and a second single-leg take down with a hard ride out and a 6-2 advantage going into the third period. The New Prague wrestler would choose neutral to start the third period and neither wrestler mounted a scoring attack as Siegle became the 15th individual state champion in Scott West history.

“A great way to close out a great career,” states Ripley.

“Zach really deserved to win a state title this year and here it is.”

It was a dominant state title run by Andrew Fogarty as the 160-pounder won the 16th individual state championship for the program. Fogarty, a junior, was making his third individual appearance in the state tournament, having placed third as a freshman at 138 and third again last year at 160. This year, Fogarty left no doubt as he pinned two of his three opponents on his way to the championship match, where he would face PEM’s Thomas Miller.

“Andrew was about as dominant as you can be this side of K-M heavyweight Sam Stoll, who has set a national record with 63 straight pins,” states Ripley. “Andrew did not allow a point in all four of his matches, which included two pins and a major decision.”

The major decision came

in the championship match against Miller. The match began with Miller getting to the leg of Fogarty on a single-leg.

However, after fighting off that shot attempt, the match was all Fogarty as he scored an 11-0 state championship win.

It was the first individual trip to the state tournament for Derek Dahlke and the senior 170-pounder certainly made good on it as he advanced to the state championship match with a thrilling 7-5 overtime semifinal win over Becker’s Bobby Lee, which advanced him to the state championship match against Tri-City United’s Josh Selly.

Dahlke and Selly had split two matches during the season, with Dahlke winning a 6-1 decision during the regular season and Selly winning the Section 2AA final 3-1. In this one for the state title, Selly would literally slide by to win the rubber match and the state title as he

Against LS-H, Belle Plaine, which led 48-32 at halftime, was led by Aaron Bigaouette with 20 points, followed by Gavin Dauwalter (18), Luke Narveson (14), Sam Karl (10), Ricky Fogarty (9), Mitch Nelson (3), Mitchel Stier (2) and Cameron Lark (1).

Brady Rose, Bradley Rose, Luke Smith and Tremaine Wadley combined for 66 of the Giants’ 81 points.

“This game was very similar to many of our other games this year as it was very entertaining,” said Tigers coach John Wellner. “We played very well in the first half and took some good, easy shots. But you have to give LS-H a lot of credit – they are a good team with some tough players. We knew the second half was going to be a lot closer as basketball is a game of runs. We didn’t get the same easy shots we did in the first half and we gave up a few too many easy shots to them and they made some big plays

in key points of the game.

“In the end, you have to tip your hat to LS-H and accept the fact that they were able to get the job done,” Wellner continued. “To be sure, it is a very disappointing way to end the season for our kids, but I am extremely proud of a group of guys who worked so hard and just came up a little short.”

Tigers’ Season Ends Harshly

by Dan Ruud It appeared Belle Plaine, the No. 4 seed, was on its way to advancing to the second round of the Section 2AA, North Subsection Tournament, but No. 5 seed Le Sueur-Henderson overcame a 61-42 deficit with less than 13 minutes to play in the game and won 81-77 last Tuesday night at the BPHS gym.

Just when the sting of that loss may have eased some after three days of healing, then came Friday night. That’s when one of the biggest streaks of upsets in one section in one night in Minnesota high school basketball history unfolded.

It started in New Prague, where LS-H knocked off No. 1 seed Mayer Lutheran 66-62.

Meanwhile, No. 3 seed Glencoe-Silver Lake routed No. 2 seed Jordan 53-33. The biggest surprise of all came in the South Subsection, where No. 4 seed St. Peter beat No. 1 seed Waseca 52-49. Waseca was ranked No. 2 in the state in Class 2A. In yet another upset, No. 2 seed New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva was eliminated by No. 3 seed Waterville-ElysianMorristown 79-64.

With all the No. 1 and 2 seeds out of the tournament, Belle Plaine players and fans had to

be wondering what may have occurred had the Tigers been able to hold on to a 19-point lead over the final 12-plus minutes.

Tigers Don’t Go Far in Playoffs

by Dan Ruud As expected, the Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team went on the road for the first round of the Section 2AA, North Subsection Tournament Monday night. But the No. 7 seed Tigers, who were 3-22 in the regular season, didn’t have to travel far as they headed just up the road to No. 2 seed and

co-Minnesota River Conference champion Jordan (18-5).

That was all travel Belle Plaine would have to put in this postseason.

The Jaguars, who had defeated the Tigers twice during the regular season by a combined 71 points, proved that it’s not always difficult to beat the same team three times in a season as

they advanced to the second round of the postseason with a 71-44 victory.

State Tournament Recap

Scott West wrestling is “Still Alive!” The Panthers entered the season with that mottotheme and they would carry it into Xcel Energy Center this past weekend at the Minnesota State Class 2A Wrestling Tournament. After advancing to the state team tournament for five straight years (2008-2012), Scott West was excited to be back in the mix after failing to qualify for last year’s tournament. Scott West brought an experienced, yet inexperienced, team into the St. Paul arena as just five members on their roster of 19 had ever wrestled a match at the state tournament.

The weekend of wrestling began on Thursday morning with the #3-rated Panthers advancing to the state semifinal round with a 40-27 win over the #10rated Milaca Wolves. That win would bring a much anticipated match up with the #2-rated Foley Falcons, who had just beaten #11-rated Pequot Lakes/Pine River-Backus 35-27.

“We knew going in that it would be a battle from start to finish,” comments Scott West Darren Ripley. “I think both teams came to wrestle and those in attendance were not disappointed in the performance and effort that was given by both teams.”

Although Scott West won five straight decisions to open the meet, an intense battle had developed and everyone would have to ride out the meet all the way to the last match as the Panthers won a thrilling 30-23 victory that would put them in the state championship meet against the Simley Spartans for the third time in the last four years.

The Scott West meet against Foley started with Panther eighth-grader Jackson Stauffacher beating Noah Lefebvre 4-3. Teammate Ben Kelvington followed with a 6-3 decision over Mitch Rothfork at 113.

The next match brought the third straight Scott West win as Ryan Siegle used a pair of first-period take downs to build a 4-1 lead en route to a 5-1 decision over Taylor Jurek at 120.

The next match would come down to the third period as two highly-rated wrestlers from both sides took to the mat at 126 pounds. It was #1 David Flynn for Scott West and #3 Tyler Funk for Foley. They had met two years earlier in a Scott West 31-21 state semifinal meet with Funk winning a 7-1 decision in that one. Flynn had turned the tables on the Falcon wrestler earlier this year with a 6-0 win for the championship at the Rumble on the Red. In the third go-around Thursday, Flynn scored a hard-fought 4-2 decision.

Next, Panther Jacob Backlund scored a 6-2 decision over Logan Lunde.

With the five straight Panther wins and a 15-0 Scott West

team lead, Foley’s Randy Jensen broke the streak as he defeated Shane Abraham 4-0.

The first bonus points of the meet were earned by Foley at 152 pounds as the Falcons #3-rated Carter Nielsen used seven take downs in building a 19-5 major decision over Jack Storlie.

More bonus points came in the following match at 160 pounds as Andrew Fogarty pinned Foley’s Tyler Beehler in the second period.

Scott West now held a 24-7 team lead and the meet would move to an important match between two rated wrestlers at 170 pounds. The Panthers’ had

the #2-Derek Dahlke on the mat, while the Falcons had #8 Luke Kelvington. Each of the two wrestlers would score an escape during the three periods of the regulation match, but it would be the Falcons Kelvington that would score the matchwinning take down in a 3-1 overtime win.

The Kelvington win sparked a four-match Foley winning streak as the tough up top Falcons went to work with #2-rated Tyler Midas at 182 pounds winning a 17-8 major decision

Rachel Nutter of Lakeville and Matt Bertrang of Belle Plaine (right) are raising money for HopeKids, an organization that brings normalcy to the lives of children suffering medical issues, like like Belle Plaine’s Taylor Wendt (center), and their families. Bertrang and Nutter will be competing in Relentless, a weightlifting competition March 28-29 at Valley Christian Church in Rosemount.

B.P., Area Powerlifters Pumping Iron for a Good Cause

Matt Bertrang is a big man with big muscles and a big heart. Later this month, he and a group of other power-lifters will be competitively pumping iron to raise money for an organization that helps people who struggle to manage the weight and effects of health challenges they and their families face.

Bertrang, a Belle Plaine resident who grew up in Henderson where his parents still live, is competing in Relentless, a weightlifting competition in which power weightlifters will compete in various forms of powerlifting. The event is set for March 28-29 at Valley Christian Church in Rosemount.

Bertrang, 36, is raising money for HopeKids a 15-year-old boy from Minnetonka. Bertrang’s just beyond the midpoint of his $1,500 goal.

Rachel Nutter, a Lakeville resident is raising money in the name of Taylor Wendt. Nutter, 43, is one of the owners of South Side Gym where Bertrang and many other powerlifters train.

Wendt, a 15-year-old Belle Plaine teenager who suffers from Schmid-Fracarro syndrome, which forced doctors to perform life-saving open heart surgery on Wendt just a few hours after he was born and four times since.

Nutter has raised over $3,600

toward her goal of $4,000.

The Relentless competition in the Twin Cities area has grown dramatically in its first three years, both in terms of the caliber of competition as well as the amount of money it raises for HopeKids. In 2011, lifters raised $13,000 for the organization. Last year, over $102,000 was raised for HopeKids at the event.

Helping HopeKids

Power weightlifters like Bertrang and Nutter raise money and awareness of HopeKids, an organization that helps children stricken by various illnesses and their families enjoy some normalcy in their everyday lives.

Unlike Make-A-Wish, HopeKids is able to serve entire families and children. HopeKids also funds on a smaller scale, allowing it to serve more people more frequently.

For the Wendts, HopeKids funds events like a date night last year for parents and families suffering cancer and other life-threatening diseases. HopeKids rented out a movie theater in the south metro area. It paid to clean the theater of harmful germs and limit the audience to children suffering serious diseases and their families.

The organization does not limit the number of events children

and their families can attend. “Once you’re a HopeKids, you’re a HopeKid for life,�

Bertrang said.

He knows first-hand the impact a sick child can have on parents and families. Years ago, his older sister, Sherry, was born with complications from birth. “I wish an organization like this was around many years ago when my parents were spending countless hours traveling back and forth to the hospital,� he said. “Although I was very young at the time, I know it was tough on the entire family when there wasn’t much of a support mechanism.�

It’s that support and effort that has Bertrang so committed to HopeKids through the Relentless event. “It not only helps the child affected by the illness but also their siblings and their parents to experience events they couldn’t afford to do,� he said.

Sam Karl is the winner of a $250 scholarship from the National Wild Turkey Federation’s Valley Yelpers chapter.

In an essay as part of the scholarship awarding process, Karl, a senior at Belle PLaine High School, wrote that hunting has long been an important part of lives of family members.

Hunting, including hunts for wild turkey, brings the family together with a common purpose and strengthens the bond between family members.

It is an important tradition he intends to pass on one day to his children and future generations.

The son of Mary and James Karl, Sam’s attributes his passion for hunting to his father.

He recalls his first-ever hunting outing, a NWTF youth turkey hunt, with his dad and Gerry Bratsch, the current president of the Valley Yelpers chapter.

Giving His Time

Today, James Karl is a frequent volunteer mentor on NWTF youth hunting trips. The pair are frequently out scouting potential hunting sites in the hope of getting a bird every spring.

Getting a turkey is not the indicator of success. “Hunting, whether I get something or not, is enjoyable because it’s fun and relaxing,� Karl wrote. “There’s nothing better than sitting in the woods or field and listening to the sounds of the woods and its animals.�

Having participated in various hunts and camps through the NWTF and the Minnesota Waterfowl Association, Karl has

learned ways to help protect birds and help their populations grow. He has helped build wood duck houses and clean roadside ditches that serve as habitat.

He hopes to one day use these lessons to teach youngsters the importance of conserving and protecting wildlife.

He plans to study environmental science at South Dakota State University and eventually work in a profession “in which I can make a difference in helping protect and conserve wildlife and the environment.�

Karl will be presented the scholarship at the chapter’s annual banquet Thursday, March 13 at the Caribou Gun Club in Le Sueur. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and dinner is scheduled for 7 p.m. The event includes silent/live auctions and raffles.

Tickets are available from Tom Bender. He can be reached at (507) 248-3230.
