School Board OKs Facility Upgrades, Swaps Land With City

From the murals in the city hall council chambers and the most recent endeavor is painting the logos on the helicopter in school board meeting room, Belle Plaine native Lana Beck Veterans’ Memorial Park. The city hopes to return the helihas again shared her artistic talents with the community. Her copter to the park this week in time for Memorial Day.

Helping Chopper Make Its Way Home an ‘Honor’ for Artist

She has painted on a variety of materials – sheetrock, plywood, metal, even a motorcycle. Lana Beck can now add the nose of a helicopter to the list of surfaces she has worked on.

Beck recently completed painting the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment emblem on the nose of the UH1H helicopter mounted on a concrete post in Veterans Memorial Park along South Meridian Street. The helicopter is a tribute to the military service of veterans.

The 49-year-old helicopter was removed from its post for refurbishing last September. With the work completed, Belle Plaine veterans decided to update the regiment’s “blackhorse” logo on the nose of the helicopter.

Rather than use a decal, which isn’t expected to stand up to the elements for a long period of time, Belle Plaine Veterans of Foreign Wars Post Commander Larry Ruehling called Beck.

“We’ve seen her work before.

We were confident Lana would do a good job,” Ruehling said.

Beck worked on the helicopter in the city’s public works garage. She realizes it has great value to veterans.

“It’s something I’ve never done,” Beck said of painting a helicopter. “That they trust me with this precious piece is quite an honor.”

Selecting the right paint was critical to the job. She selected a paint that will adhere to the helicopter’s exterior surface and stand up to the elements -- sunshine, rain, snow, wind, heat, and cold. Having worked on surfaces that spend most of their time outdoors – Beck has painted figures in the community Nativity scene – she knows the importance of durability against the elements.

The “blackhorse” logo is a horse, rearing up on its hind legs. Beck used “a common

eye” and close attention to detail to make sure she has the logo’s details just right. “It’s just paint. If I mess up, I’ll paint over it,” she said.

Beck, who grew up in Belle Plaine and lives in Le Sueur, is familiar with the helicopter.

Her children and grandchildren have taken note of its absence from the park the past few months during visits to Belle Plaine. Knowing how important the helicopter is to veterans and people of the community, she was honored to accept the request to work on the logo on the chopper’s nose and the emblems on the sides of the helicopter.

“It’s going to be appreciated by most vets. They gave up part of their being for it. Anybody that has served, I have to believe it touches a part of them.

If anything, it lets them know we remember,” Beck said. “If I get one smile, that’s worth

B.P. School Dist. Teacher Charged With Criminal Sexual Conduct He’s Also Charged With Giving Girls Alcohol, Marijuana

A Belle Plaine High School teacher is off the job after being charged in Scott County District Court with fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct and child endangerment.

Michael Vernon Reynolds is charged with inappropriate contact with a girl who was living at his house. He is also charged with illegally allowing children living at his house to partake in the consumption of alcohol and marijuana.

Reynolds was taken into custody Friday morning (May 12) at his home in Belle Plaine. He was released on $10,000 bail Tuesday (May 16), with conditions that include no contact with the victims.

Reynolds, 32, is due in Scott County District Court for an omnibus hearing June 7, 8:30 a.m. His attorney, Tom Shiah, said the criminal complaint sets forth allegations which need to be properly heard in a court of law and not in the media.

who were living with Reynolds and his wife for the school year, were at the house on O’Brien Parkway indicating “they no longer felt safe at their host home,” according to the criminal complaint.

The allegations against Reynolds include providing the girls, ages 16 and 17, alcohol on multiple occasions at his house. He also allegedly provided one of the foreign-exchange students homemade peanut butter cups laced with marijuana at the house. Reynolds admitted he purchased the marijuana from a friend, according to the crimiMichael Vernon Reynolds nal complaint.

That’s everything to me.”

The completion of Beck’s work sets the stage for the helicopter’s return to Veterans Memorial Park, hopefully in time for Memorial Day. Ruehling is hoping the recent heavy rains won’t prevent a crane from returning the helicopter to its post in time the holiday.

“It’s all done,” he said. “She did a beautiful job.”

With an eye on improving its grounds and facilities, the Belle Plaine School Board set a variety of processes in motion Monday (May 22) designed to make the district more attractive and functional.

The board unanimously approved its share of a land swap with the city. The school district will give the city the old tennis courts on South Market and West Prairie streets.

In exchange, the city will give the school district the pleasure skating rink and warming house at the intersection of West Park and South Market streets.

Because the ice hockey rink/ off-leash dog park and tennis courts are a single 1.39-acre parcel, an administrative land split was required. The board, like the city council the week before, OK’d the land split. The second part of the action was trading the tennis courts for the parcel on which the pleasure skating rink and warming house sit. It was also approved with no discussion.

Superintendent Ryan Laager noted the tennis courts have become overgrown by weeds and are an eyesore. In the city’s control, the courts can potentially be used for an expansion of the community pool, through the city council has not yet committed to the proposal. The city has also not yet identified funding to remove the dilapidated tennis courts and fencing.

The district currently has no plans for removing the pleasure rink and warming house in favor of any other use. It will be managed under the terms of the facilities agreement the city and school board have jointly approved.

Softball Complex

The board accepted the bid of Steve Eischens Construction of Belle Plaine to serve as the general contractor for the construction of a building housing restrooms, a ticket booth, storage space and a second-level observation area at the softball complex at Oak Crest Elementary School.

The two-story building will be 32-by-32 feet and located amidst the four fields at the

Rain – Lots of It – Sets Planting Back a Few Weeks

Nearly 4 inches of rain since Mother’s Day has farmers with crops to plant sitting on the sidelines looking at saturated fields.

And waiting.

The Belle Plaine area has received 3.97 inches of rain since May 15, according to Adella Gruetzmacher. May 17 saw the heaviest downpour, 1.48 inches.

Ewald Gruetzmacher said the area needs warm temperatures to help fields dry out.

“It’ll take three, four days to dry out,” he said. “But they’re talking about more rain Friday (May 26) so we’ll see.”

Gruetzmacher notes farmers with soybean crops yet to plant are likely two weeks behind thanks to excess rainfall.

Nagorski Wants People to Know Why Memorial Day is Special birthday parties and special events when dad wasn’t home yet and his children had to settle for their dad via Facetime, an inconsistent Internet connection, an AT&T line or a Defense Information Systems DSN line routed from Iraq through Germany to Minnesota.

“Being away from home, that’s the toughest,” Nagorski said.

He hopes one day to take his wife and children to Hawaii to see the Pearl Harbor Memorial.

He figures anyone who visits it truly understands what Memorial Day is all about.

B.P. Resident Will Bring Vet’s Perspective to Ceremony

Sgt. 1st Class Jeremy Nagorski (Ret.) has never addressed a group larger than a platoon before. He expects to be a little nervous when he looks over a sea of faces attending Belle Plaine’s Memorial Day ceremony Monday (May 29, 11 a.m.) in Veterans Memorial Park.

Nagorski retired earlier this spring from the Minnesota Army National Guard. He served for 24 years. His resume with the Army National Guard includes three deployments – 2003-‘04 and 2007-‘08 to Iraq and 2015-‘16 to Kuwait.

The bricklayer who grew up in Little Falls, Minn. served in engineering companies. He joined the Minnesota National Guard because it offered money for college.

In his civilian life, Nagorski is a foreman for Hollenbeck and Nelson, a Twin Cities-based construction firm. He and his wife, Jennifer, have three children – Pierce, 10; Hoyt, 6; and Scarlette, 4. Dressed in red, white and blue, all three children have welcomed their father home from deployments.

Nagorski wants people to know Memorial Day is not just a day for them to clog highways heading out of town to lakes and vacation spots. It’s a time when, he hopes, people reflect on the sacrifices of others so people can live in freedom, clogging highways heading out of town to the lake and vacation spots.

“Now that I’ve been talking to vets, and am one myself, it’s important to remember those

Sgt. 1st Class Jeremy Nagorski (Ret.) who made our country true, to remember fallen comrades,” Nagorski said.

He joined the Belle Plaine Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) post and enjoys talking with those who served, like him, in faraway places many people had never heard of. He enjoys their memories and appreciates what they’ve been through.

“They’ve got some good stories. They’re funny,” Nagorski said. “They don’t get too deep into it.”

He’s practiced his speech for Memorial Day several times and will continue to do so until he delivers it Monday.

The best part of his service was spending time with his fellow soldiers doing their job. His platoon had 40 soldiers in it. He is pleased they all made it home safely from their deployments.

“I knew them all,” he said.

“You know they had your back.”

The toughest parts of service were the missed holidays, the

Farmers’ Market Corner

The Belle Plaine Farmers’ Market is in full swing. The market runs Wednesdays, 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. (rain or shine), through Oct. 11 at Court Square Park, 410 Cedar Street N. There are so many reasons to celebrate the many farmers’ markets in Minnesota. Due to the fertile soil, many types of agriculture, and huge diversity in products grown and raised

by Minnesota farmers and producers, farmers’ markets have become prominent in small towns, urban centers and suburbs. Farmers’ markets are an

excellent place to go out and buy locally produced items, talk to a local farmer, and establish connections to your food and community.

Food trucks will be on-site at Belle Plaine’s Farmers’ Market, so why not bring the family down for a little shopping and a bite to eat. What a great time to socialize with growers and vendors, as well as your fellow community members.

This year’s popular items todate have included rhubarb, farm fresh eggs, jams and jellies, perennials, and a large as-

sortment of baked goods. Handmade crafts, jewelry, rugs and towels have also been popular items. Vendors are welcome to sell homemade or homegrown items at the farmers’ market.

New vendors are always welcome. The weekly vendor rate is $5.

Miss a week and you miss a lot.

For more information, contact Laurie Devine at 952-4541038.

The 2017 Belle Plaine Farmers’ Market is sponsored by The Belle Plaine Historical Society.

trails during a so-called ‘no registration weekend.’ “We see this weekend as a great opportunity to showcase the wide variety of state and grant-in-aid trails across Minnesota,� said Mary Straka, off-highway vehicle program consultant. “There are a large number of privately registered ATVs across the state, and we encourage them to explore the public trails for free June 2-4.�

Some places to start, according to Straka, include the Iron Range Off-Highway Vehicle State Recreation Area, a 1,200acre OHV park in Gilbert with 36 miles of scenic trails for riders of all abilities. The recreation area will have special programs, rides and displays on Saturday, June 4.

Other options include the 100mile trail system in Nemadji State Forest, which connects to the Matthew Lourey State Trail and the Gandy Dancer Trail for more riding opportunities.

On the 29-mile Spider Lake trail system in Foot Hills State Forest, riders can curve around lakes and ponds, go up and down a variety of hills, and view overlooks from the ridges throughout the forest. The 200mile Northwoods Regional Trail System in Aitkin and Itasca counties uses the Soo Line Trail to connect riders to communities and trail loops.

The DNR advises riders to keep safety in mind when out on the trails. Safety training is required for ATV riders born after July 1, 1987. The DNR recommends it for everyone that operates an ATV. Children must wear a DOT-certified helmet.

Children age 16 and under must fit the ATV they are operating and be able to properly reach and control the handlebars and reach the foot pegs while sitting upright on the ATV. Trail maps, updates on trail conditions, youth ATV Safety training and other OHV information can be found at www. mndnr.gov/ohv online.

Le Sueur OKs New City Rules on Sex Offender Residency

Level 3 sex offenders have a place to live within Le Sueur’s city limits – just not within 1,000 feet of any place where children or vulnerable adults may routinely congregate.

The city council recently OK’d rules on where people the state designates as Level 3 sex offenders may reside after they serve time for committing a sex crime. The Level 3 designation means the state considers them the most likely to reoffend, the Le Sueur News-Herald recently reported. The restricted residency areas include within 1,000 feet of schools, the community center, churches, playgrounds, the home of a vulnerable adult, and any other place children routinely congregate.

The restricted areas cover most of the city. The rules indicate a person who receives the Level 3 designation may not live in these areas, but they do not prohibit the Level 3 offenders from being within the areas on a temporary basis.

Le Sueur County has a similar ordinance governing the townships outside city limits. The city ordinance does not cover Level 3 offenders who already live within the restricted areas.

In addition, the new ordinance makes no reference to persons convicted of sex crimes who receive a designation of Level 1 or Level 2, levels deemed likely to reoffend but not as likely to reoffend as persons who receive the Level 3 designation.

Teacher Charged (continued from page 1) it. She also consumed Red Bull with vodka at that time, according to the criminal complaint.

The charges also indicate while at the house, Reynolds performed a bikini wax on one of the girls, applying wax paper to the girl’s abdomen, below her bellybutton and “a little below the underwear line,� according to the criminal complaint. The criminal complaint also states Reynolds allegedly “placed wax paper on her inner thigh, next to her underwear line.�

The girl reported that Reynolds removed the wax paper from each area. “She felt very uncomfortable when the defendant was doing this to her,� according to the criminal charge.

The criminal complaint states Reynolds admits he served the girl alcohol and performed the bikini waxing. He said, according to the complaint, the alcohol was to “ease the pain of waxing.�

The criminal complaint states Reynolds wanted one of the girls to move out of his house.

He claims he allowed them access to the marijuana-laced chocolate bars so he could have them drug tested and removed from the house.

The criminal complaint says Reynolds admitted to police he served one of the girls alcohol and performed a waxing on her.

He also admitted to allowing the other girl to drink alcohol, as stated in the criminal complaint. He indicated he waxed

her leg, upper lip and arms, and above her bellybutton.

He claimed he told the girls there was marijuana in the homemade chocolate bars but denied serving the bars to the girls, according to the criminal complaint.

Parents Upset With Lack of NotiďŹ cation

Laager declined comment on the charges against Reynolds and said the issue is a police matter and not a school matter.

Parents were irked the school did not notify them about a police matter that involved a teacher who may have had contact with their children. “I have a student in the school district,� Chelsey Schindler posted on the Herald’s Facebook page. “Where in the hell is the notice informing us? Why am I reading it from the paper?

This is insane.�

Parent Kerry Harnesk Pitozzi concurred. “I am very disappointed to ďŹ nd this out on Facebook, not directly from the school my children attend,â€? according to her post on the Herald’s Facebook page. “I would hope the parents who have students in the high school would be notiďŹ ed of a situation.

We should have been notiďŹ ed by now, seeing how the arrest happened on Friday (May 12),â€?

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

City of Belle Plaine 2016 Drinking Water Report

The City of Belle Plaine is issuing the results of monitoring done on its drinking water for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2016. The purpose of this report is to advance consumers’ understanding of drinking water and heighten awareness of the need to protect precious water resources.

Source of Water The City of Belle Plaine provides drinking water to its residents from a groundwater source: two wells ranging from 330 to 331 feet deep, that draw water from the Quaternary Buried Unconf. aquifer.

The Minnesota Department of Health has made a determination as to how vulnerable our systems’ source(s) of water may be to future contamination incidents. If you wish to obtain the entire source water assessment regarding your drinking water, please call 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 (and press 5) during normal business hours. Also, you can view it on line at www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/swp/swa.

Call 952-873-6742 if you have questions about the City of Belle Plaine drinking water or would like information about opportunities for public participation in decisions that may affect the quality of the water.

Results of Monitoring No contaminants were detected at levels that violated federal drinking water standards. However, some contaminants were detected in trace amounts that were below legal limits. The table that follows shows the contaminants that were detected in trace amounts last year. (Some contaminants are sampled less frequently than once a year; as a result, not all contaminants were sampled for in 2016. If any of these contaminants were detected the last time they were sampled for, they are included in the table along with the date that the detection occurred.)

Key to abbreviations: MCLG-Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

MCL-Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water.

MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

MRDL-Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level.

MRDLG-Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal.

AL-Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirement which a water system must follow.

90th Percentile Level-This is the value obtained after disregarding 10 percent of the samples taken that had the highest levels. (For example, in a situation in which 10 samples were taken, the 90th percentile level is determined by disregarding the highest result, which represents 10 percent of the samples.) Note: In situations in which only 5 samples are taken, the average of the two with the highest levels is taken to determine the 90th percentile level. ppm-Parts per million, which can also be expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/l). ppb-Parts per billion, which can also be expressed as micrograms per liter (μg/l). nd-No Detection.

N/A-Not Applicable (does not apply).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. City of Belle Plaine is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/ lead.

Monitoring may have been done for additional contaminants that do not have MCLs established for them and are not required to be monitored under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Results may be available by calling 651201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during normal business hours.

Compliance with National Primary Drinking Water Regulations The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.

Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.

Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.

Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 800 426 4791.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.

Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 800 426 4791.

Laager pointed to a $30,000 donation from Connie and Leroy Chard toward the facility plus the potential of donations of block from an area company. Other donations from the baseball and softball associations are expected. The block is currently expected to cost $40,000.

The most expensive remaining components of the building will be $23,761 for plumbing, $39,615 for materials and $29,980 for excavating. Not included in the bid price is the cost of moving sprinkler lines, fiber optic lines, permits, bonds, or surveys.

The proposed building is meant to support softball and baseball tournaments, attractions Laager and the school board expect will draw more people to Belle Plaine. Construction is expected to commence following the completion of the Tigers’ softball season.

Cricket Fields

The board approved a five-year agreement with Saby Sengupta and his proposal for him build three cricket fields, known as Tatiana Fields, on land he owns adjacent to school district property near Oak Crest Elementary School.

Under the agreement, the district will allow the district to use the two smaller cricket fields for youth activities, like soccer or lacrosse.

Bond Sale

The board unanimously approved selling bonds to fund the purchase and installation of new, high-efficiency LED lighting in district facilities. The lighting is expected to eventually pay for itself through savings in electric usage.

The district will sell bonds worth $805,000 for the LED project. If the legislature passes legislation for the ag. credit, the district will bond for the next two years of long-term facilities maintenance (LTFM)

dollars -- $1.87 million -- in order to take advantage of the ag. credit, said Chuck Keller, the district’s business manager.

If the legislature does not pass the ag. credit, the district will only bond $805,000 for the LED project. The LED bonds will be paid over 10 years with LTFM dollars. If the district bonds for the next two years of LTFM, those bonds will be paid off with LTFM dollars in 2019 and 2020, Keller said.

If legislative action does not support the favorable sale of bonds, the school board could cancel the sale of the bonds, Laager said. Monday’s action merely approves putting bonds up for sale. The actual sale will likely not occur until later this summer.

Hibernians Award $6,500 in 2017 Scholarships The Shamrock Division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians recently met to celebrate Founders’ Day on April 29.

Scholarship to each of 13 candidates. Scholarship selection was based on the applicant’s Irish heritage, educational plans and how they plan to promote their Irish heritage in the future. A total of $6,500 was awarded in scholarships. Funds for the scholarships are raised by an annual Hibernian Scholarship Raffle, hog raffle and a dinner on Founders’ Day. Scholarship recipients include pictured above Nick Gannon (Vadnais Hts), Hannah Hofmeister (Mpls), John Morrison (Belle Plaine), Montana Bahr (Belle Plaine) and Lauren Murphy (Belle Plaine).

B.P.’s Trinity Lutheran Earns Educational Accreditation Trinity Lutheran School in Belle Plaine recently earned accreditation from The Minnesota Non-public School Accrediting Association (MNSAA) for 2017 to 2024. Accreditation is a voluntary method of quality assurance with a goal to evaluate, validate, and improve each school’s quality.

Trinity Lutheran and schools like it are accredited based on compliance with a set of rigorous standards which identify essential personnel, instruction, facility, curriculum, governance, and marketing policies and practices that are considered necessary for an effective school. The accreditation process includes the creation of a visionary and focused strategic plan and an on-site visit by a team of educators from member schools.

Every seven years, an accredited school goes through a self-study in preparation for a site visit from a MNSAA team,

said Dan Whitney, Trinity Lutheran School’s principal. The team validates everything the school’s staff writes in its selfstudy. It takes about six to 12 months to complete a self-study, to prepare written evidence for each standard, and to develop a strategic plan for the school.

MNSAA is a federally- and state-sanctioned non-profit association for accrediting nonpublic schools in the State of Minnesota. The association’s mission is to be a catalyst for enhancing the quality of nonpublic education in Minnesota through a comprehensive process of accreditation.

The agency helps schools provide quality non-public education for the children of Minnesota in its member schools.

MNSAA is governed by a member-elected board of directors that bases its accreditation on a school’s evaluation through a self-study process.

Accreditation with MNSAA

relies heavily on how the individual school defines its mission and the way it seeks to accomplish that mission.

Trinity Lutheran School has have been accredited for seven years.

The school joins more than 170 accredited schools that make up the Association. MNSAA will continue to provide guidance to the Trinity Lutheran School through an annual review of its strategic plan.

“Before we went through accreditation, I would say that our school was academically average in many ways,” Whitney said. “The process forced us to turn over every rock and log, so to speak, and make sure we examine every aspect of our program. Since that time seven years ago, our school consistently scores at or above the 70th percentile nationally in all of the core subject areas. That’s 20 percent above the national average.”

Tigers Flummox Fairfax for First ‘W’

by Brett Kruschke & Mike Schultz Team Tigertown grabbed its ďŹ rst win of the season in style Friday, using 14 hits and eight walks to earn a 10-run victory over the Fairfax Cardinals, 12-2, in eight innings. That lifts the Tigers’ record to 1-4 on the season, including 1-2 in River Valley League play.

Tonight (May 24) the Tigers will entertain the Dakota-RiceScott League’s Shakopee Coyotes, our Highway 169 neighbors who have qualiďŹ ed for the Class C State Tournament in each of the last two seasons.

The ďŹ rst pitch is set for 7:30 p.m. and if you can’t make it to Tiger Park, tune in the game on KCHK at 95.5 FM/1350 AM, kchkradio.net or via the KCHK smartphone app.

BP 12, Fairfax 2 (Friday, May 19 – 8 innings) The winless Tiger train sputtered into Fairfax Friday night, asking young Mitchel Stier and his ‘cutter’ to right the ship. The second-year righty did his part, throwing four innings of tworun baseball before turning it over to Wes Sarsland. The portsider did Stier two better, yielding no runs while also working four frames in what became a shortened affair. Stier snagged the win while Sarsland scooped up an old-school save.

Center ďŹ elder Luke Narveson had presumably a career-best game, with four hits and four runs scored. Aiden Ladd, Josh Terrio and Derek Dahlke all had two hits apiece, and the Tigers worked eight walks.

Jonny Vinkemeier added a little excitement to the mix when he successfully stole home in the ďŹ fth inning. Both of our fans went wild and at that point, the rout was ofďŹ cially on.

Sarsland was not to be outdone by Vinkemeier’s rare feat, striking out four batters in one inning, thanks to one of the batters reaching on a dropped third strike.

Scott County Fair Offering New Camera Trail Photo Classes The 2017 Scott County Fair will see a new class for judging – trail photography. It is based on a new hobby growing in the wild places around the state.

People who would never call themselves photographers are investing time, talent, and treasure on trail camera equipment.

First marketed as tools to scout new hunting grounds, trail cameras are motion-activated and weather resistant digital cameras, said Larry Kiewel, the fair’s director of photography.

Most trail photographers own more than one and spend many hours placing cameras, maintaining the sites, and recovering the photographs.

At this year’s Scott County Fair (July 26 -30), there will be classes in the photography

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?

The Wizardz won the next four games to earn a first-place ribbon. John Custer took first place in the skills completion. The Wizardz will travel to Eastview High School in Apple Valley June 24 for the Special Olympics Summer Games. The team includes (back row, from left) Annie Otting, Heather Tracy, Christina Kassulke, (middle row, from left) Head of Delegation Debbie Kasper, Marshall Erickson, Taylor Wendt, Mitch Walsh, Leilani Halverson, Coach Dawn Halverson, (front row, from left) Gloria Paul, John Custer, Shayna Halverson, Stephanie Unger, Tiffany Kasper, and Coach Greg Kasper.

New Prague Hosting Highway 19 Project Open House June 7 The City of New Prague, in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), is hosting an open house on the Highway 19 (Main Street) construction project June 7 (5-7 p.m.) in New Prague City Hall’s council chambers.

There will be no formal presentation, but attendees are invited to come and go during the open house when it is is convenient for them. The open house is intended to give residents and the public an opportunity to meet with project staff, learn about the project’s purpose and need, and provide insight into the future vision for downtown Main Street in New Prague.

The proposed extent of the project is Main Street (Highway 19), from Highway 21 on

the west to 7th Avenue SE on the east. The project will include reconstruction of underground utilities (sanitary sewer, water main, and storm sewer) as well as reconstruction of the roadway, including curb and gutter, sidewalks, landscaping and street lighting.

Through the downtown, the work will extend from building face to building face. Construction is anticipated to begin in spring of 2020.

The open house materials will include information on existing traffic and roadway conditions, parking utilization through the corridor and an initial evaluation of potential parking configurations on Main Street in the downtown core. In addition, the public will be asked to share issues or concerns they would

like to see addressed as part of the reconstruction project.

This is a legacy project for the City of New Prague. The need to replace the aging infrastructure below the roadway provides an opportunity for the community to completely rebuild Main Street, setting the stage for the next 50 years in downtown New Prague.

This is the first of many upcoming opportunities for the residents and businesses of New Prague to share their vision and learn more about the project process and schedule. As part of the community engagement process, a stakeholder committee was formed and members of the committee will be in attendance, along with project staff from the city and Mn/DOT.

Volunteers are needed to provide temporary foster pet homes for puppies, cats, rabbits, kitten litters, and dogs in Carver, Scott, Le Sueur, and Hennepin counties.

The Society provides medical care, food and litter. Volunteers provide a safe, loving home for an average of three to six months. Twice a month, the foster family comes with the pet to a three-hour public adoption day held in Eden Prairie and Chaska.

If you could help a needy pet by fostering or by donating litter or pet food, please call the Society at 952-368-3553, line 4, and check the website www. carverscotths.org.

Harder Wants Policies for Drone Use, Undocumented Spending Sibley County Commissioner Bobbie Harder of Henderson Township was pushing for the creation of policies she says would govern the use of county drones and thwart questionable spending by county staff.

At the county board’s April 25 meeting, Harder raised the issue of the use of a drone purchased by the county for use by emergency management and public works departments. She noted the Sibley County Sheriff’s Office also owns a drone.

Harder wants the county to have a policy to make sure its drones are not used over private property without a good reason.

“I would hate for the drones to be used where they shouldn’t be,” she said.

County staff is reportedly working on developing a policy for use of drones.

Harder took issue with employees who are paying for items without turning in receipts. She said the county auditor’s office has been waiting since January for receipts to justify payment of expenses incurred by staff.

She also was concerned that a county employee scheduled to travel on county business cancelling a hotel room too late and Sibley County was being charged for the reservation.

Harder wants the responsible employee to cover that cost.

“I don’t know if we should be responsible,” Harder said.

Road Work Tabled

The Sibley County Board tabled until yesterday’s meeting (May 9, after the paper’s press deadline) a request to add additional overlay work from Public Works Director Tim Becker.

He sought permission to add 1.4 miles to the County Road 12 overlay project because the low bid for the project was $717,000 under budget.

Becker noted the 1.4-mile segment is scheduled for a 20-year bituminous overlay in 2019 at an estimated cost of $630,000.

Approving Becker’s request would help the county more easily fund a 3-inch overlay to County Road 17 from County Road 8 to Highway 19, a $1.1 million project.

There are no medications or exercises that remove cataracts.

The only treatment is surgery.

Fortunately, surgery is highly successful and people often enjoy a reduced dependence on glasses in addition to the restoration of clearer and brighter vision.

If you think you may have a cataract, our team at Belle Plaine Eyecare Center can provide you with expert consultation and help you achieve your best vision. If you would benefit from surgery, our team provides outpatient surgery with state-of-the-art technology at Ridgeview Le Sueur Medical Center – the most local option for residents of Belle Plaine and its surrounding areas.
