Margaret Morrison to Speak at Memorial Day Service

After running Steffen Hardware in downtown Belle Plaine since the 1970s, Jim Steffen will begin his retirement sale tomorrow.

Steffen Closing Hardware Store After ‘Retirement Sale’

Longtime Business Owner Eyes Retirement With ‘Mixed Emotions’

He’s had sales before, opportunities to move product out the door at reduced prices. But this sale will be different for Jim Steffen, owner of Steffen Hardware. It will be the hardware store’s final sale. Tomorrow, Steffen Hardware will begin a “retirement sale.” Decades after he took over the operation from his father, Jim Steffen is ready to take his leave. He’s had the building on North Meridian Street at East Church Street for sale for the past few years. “I’ll be 70 next month,” he said. “I want to go to car shows, to swap meets or on vacation. I want to jump in the car and not worry about the business.” Different groups of people, one from Belle Plaine and others from the Twin Cities proper, were interested in buying the hardware store, a member of the Do It Best chain of hard-

ware stores. Steffen said the amount of money Do It Best wanted up front from the interested buyers was a hurdle too steep to be cleared. The building is for sale for $179,000. Its foundation is over 2,200-square feet with an upstairs apartment around 1,150 square feet. The building was built in sections, most of which were completed pre-1900. The ad in this week’s Herald says the sale starts tomorrow (May 26). Steffen plans to liquidate as much of the inventory as possible. When it’s no longer worthwhile to open the doors, Steffen plans to close up shop and make plans for the following day. “I have no idea how long it’ll last, whether it goes fast or slow,” he said. “I’ve never done this before.” Though it is no longer Belle Plaine’s lone hardware store, Steffen Hardware had a loyal clientele, Steffen said. “It’s too bad he’s closing. Steffen’s has always been very convenient for me as a downtown businessperson,” said Karl Kolden, a funeral director and member of the Belle Plaine chamber.

Kolden’s concern as a chamber member is who will fill the void left by the closing of businesses like Steffen Hardware.

The Daily Banter

In as much as he won’t miss running a hardware store, Steffen will miss the daily banter with customers. Want to solve the community’s problems or talk classic rides and other antique collectibles between customers? Steffen is comfortable with that. His collection includes a 2003 Corvette, a 1955 Chevy pickup and a ’69 Chevy Camero. “I should sell some of them. I’m open-minded,” he said. “If the check’s big enough, I’m open-minded.” Steffen has no children and has never been married. His parents, Clarice and William, have both passed away. One of two sisters (Nancy) is deceased. There’s nothing to hold him back. “I’m married to this place,” he said. “I have mixed emotions about it. The change is going to be extreme. I’ll be here all the time, and then I won’t.” Steffen has run the business since the mid-1970s. His father, William, started Steffen Hardware in 1955 after deciding running a hardware store in Belle Plaine was more to his liking than farming in western Minnesota. At the time, it was one of three hardware stores in Belle Plaine, he said. Steffen has been thinking about his plans for the business for much of the past eight nity Development, said she has to 10 years. He knows the big no disagreement with the estibox stores, Home Depot and mates.

Met Council: Belle Plaine, Area Cities Continue Growing

As the economy continues its rebound from the great recession, the Belle Plaine area and much of Scott and Carver counties are continuing to enjoy population gains, albeit it measured growth. According to preliminary population estimates the Metropolitan Council released May 11, Belle Plaine’s 2015 population was 6,742. In 2014, the Met Council estimated Belle Plaine’s population as 6,538. In 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau said the city had 6,661 residents. The city has 2,396 households, an increase of 34 households according to the Met Council’s 2015 estimate. The Met Council’s 2015 preliminary population estimate for Scott County increased to 140,759 residents from 129,928 from the 2010 Census. The Met Council says the county has 48,298 households -- 3,190 more than were counted during the decennial census. Cities and counties have until mid-June to notify the Metropolitan Council if they disagree with the 2015 estimates. Cynthia Smith-Strack, Belle Plaine’s director of Commu-

Retired U.S. Army Reserves Lt. Col. Margaret McCue Morrison will be the guest speaker at next Monday’s annual Memorial Day Program at Veterans Park in Belle Plaine. Morrison, the daughter of Ed Morrison and Cora Ellen McCue Morrison, is a 1975 graduate of Belle Plaine High School. She completed basic training and AIT (advanced individual training) at Fort Jackson, S.C., in October 1987. She received her commission as a second lieutenant with the Minnesota Military Academy, Camp Ripley, in June 1989. Morrison held several administrative staff positions, as well as headquarters detachment commander of the 457th Transportation Battalion; platoon leader, executive officer and company commander of the 329th AG Company Postal; inspector general at Fort Snelling and Fort McCoy, Wis.; battalion commander of the 1106th Mobilization Support Battalion, Fort Eustis, Vir.; SRP Team Chief, Fort Dix, N.J., and observer controller trainer with the 75th Training Division, Fort Snelling.

Belle Plaine Among Benefactors of MVEC’s Round-Up Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative (MVEC) has made a second-quarter donation of $25,765 to 20 local organizations through Operation Round Up. These donations are made possible by MVEC members who “round up” their monthly electric bills to the next dollar amount. At 1 cent to 99 cents, rounding up an electric bill amounts to just an average $6 a year, but collectively, those nickels and dimes add up, as over $1,506,907.20 has been given back to local community organizations since 1995. Belle Plaine organizations were among the major benefactors from the latest round of fund distributions, with the Southern Valley Alliance receiving $3,500 for its 24-hour phone service. The Belle Plaine High School weight room renovation project got $3,000, and the Belle Plaine Food Shelf $500.

City Filing Activity Slows Only one more name (as of noon Tuesday) had been added to the list since the first morning of the filing period for Belle Plaine city offices that began last Tuesday (May 17) and will expire 5 p.m. next Tuesday. Ben Stier put his name on the list of candidates for a four-year seat on the city council. Nickole Shetka and incumbent Cary Coop were the first to file. Incumbent Gary Trost is also seeking reelection but for the two-year term that was vacated by Scott Schneider, who moved to Shakopee. Henry Pressley Jr. was appointed in December to occupy Schneider’s seat until the 2016 election. Pressley last week said that he has not yet decided if he will seek to extend his stay on the council.

Meanwhile, Chris Meyer is challenging incumbent Mayor Mike Pingalore, both of whom filed last Tuesday morning. If more than two people file for either Mayor Pingalore’s or Council Member Pressley’s seats, a primary will be held Aug. 9 to reduce the number of candidates to no more than two for each seat. A primary will also be held Aug. 9 for Coop’s and Trost’s seats if more than four people file for those jobs. You can file at Belle Plaine City Hall, 218 north Meridian Street downtown. Offices will be closed next Monday in observance of Memorial Day.

Attorney Expected to Wrap Up Sundblad Murder Defense

Defense attorney Michael McDonald was expected to complete his case yesterday (May 24) defending Joshua Sundblad of Belle Plaine in Scott County District Court. Scott County Attorney Ron Hocevar said the completion of the defense portion of Sundblad’s trial would be followed by the submission of written closing arguments to Judge Christian Wilton. Sundblad, 26, is charged with first-degree murder of his infant son while allegedly maintaining

a pattern of child abuse, plus first- and third-degree assault. The child died in May of 2014. Sundblad was initially charged with third-degree murder in the baby’s death in September of 2014. Those charges were increased to first-degree murder following a grand jury indictment last fall. The trial began May 10. Sundblad waived his right to a jury trial, leaving the decision on his innocence or guilt with Wilton.

Used Car Sales/Repair, U-Haul Rental Proposed for Former BP Gas Station Property The former BP gas station property along Highway 169 in Belle Plaine, which was sold at a Scott County foreclosure auction on April 12, may soon be put back to use. Chris Wyman is the new owner of the property and is proposing to turn the 1.7-acre site into a used car dealership and repair, as well as establish a U-Haul rental service. According to Ellen Paulsen, Scott County taxation supervisor, the 1.7-acre site had a successful bidder – Merle Volk of Carver, at the April 12 auction. His bid was for $142,200. Wyman said he has since obtained the site from Volk. The minimum bid for the 1.7acre site was $70,000. Earlier this year, Belle Plaine Community Development Director Cynthia Smith-Strack said the most recent (2015) market value for the property was $350,000. The site, which for many years also operated under Skluzacek

Oil Company and decades ago as Southtown Shell, went out of business in 2010 shortly after a couple of major highway crossings in Belle Plaine closed. The site was cleaned up several years ago, including the removal of the underground fuel tanks in order to make it more marketable. The building itself is still standing. The building was constructed in 1956 for Carl Johnson, who for many years had operated a Shell gas station in downtown Belle Plaine. He expanded at the new location on Highway 169. It was called Southtown Shell and included a restaurant, gas station and one lube stall. Wyman said he plans to renovate the existing building and make it a part of the new complex. He has applied to the city for a conditional use permit, which will be addressed by the planning and zoning commission during a public hearing on June 7. The city council will follow suit on June 20.

‘Open Mic Night’ About 80 people attended the first-ever ‘Hometown Eclectic’ open microphone presentation Friday evening (May 20) at the Belle Plaine Library. The next ‘Hometown Eclectic’ open mic presentation is set for Saturday, June 11, 6-8 p.m., in the B.P. School District’s Performing Drew, Andrea and Tatum Jahr were the guests of honor at Sunday’s fund-raiser at Minnesota Arts Center (PAC). The event is also being billed as a benefit for the Belle Plaine Food Shelf. Harvest Orchard. Money was raised for Tatum’s college fund while Andrea fights a rare form of cancer.

Coborn’s Staff Offer Co-Worker, His Family a Helping Hand

Andrea Jahr loves being around people, especially as she battles cancer. The fund-raiser her husband’s co-workers held for them Sunday (May 22) was just what the doctor ordered. Andrea’s husband, Drew, is the assistant produce manager at Coborn’s Superstore in Belle Plaine. Tim Waller, his supervisor, and co-workers organized the fund-raiser, with proceeds earmarked for a college fund for Andrea and Drew’s 5-yearold daughter, Tatum. Several hundred people attended the get-together at Minnesota Harvest Orchard in St. Lawrence Township. It featured a silent auction, good food, live music from the band Ransacked, raffles and familyoriented activities like face painting, games and hayrides. “We wanted to help the family. It’s a lot of work, but I’d do it over in a minute,� Waller said. Andrea is fighting synovial sarcoma, a rare form of cancer that started in her left lung. Doctors

found it in June of 2014. Last fall, after chemotherapy treatments, she received an all-clear from doctors. Doctors have removed her left lung and three ribs in February of 2015. But in January, they found the cancer had returned and was aggressively spreading. Radiation has slowed its growth. Today (May 25), Andrea and her father are flying to Los Angeles to meet with doctors studying an experimental treatment. Her doctors here arranged the visit to Los Angeles. Andrea said she’s willing to try anything that will help fight the spread of the disease. The large crowd that attended Sunday’s benefit and their generosity impressed the family. Drew knows weekends are valuable to people. “It’s humbling to know people will go out of their way for you,� he said. The staff at Coborn’s has been very supportive of the Jahr

family. Drew has worked for Coborn’s for eight years. He’s been at the Belle Plaine store since it opened. The staff has become close over time, he said. “An event like this, it just proves people care,� he said. “We have a pretty strong core,� said Janice Teal, a Belle Plaine resident who works in the deli at Coborn’s. She and her son were at the fund-raiser. “We support each other pretty well.� Waller was pleased with the number of businesses that donated items for the silent auction. Coborn’s provided food for the event. Minnesota Harvest Orchard donated use of the building and facilities, including the tractor rides, said Fred Breeggemann, the orchard’s general manager. “We do this for the community,� he said. “We’re fortunate here. We do this because we can.�

Hometown Eclectic was established to celebrate the artistic talents of area residents -- like singers (above) Makayla and Allyson Anderson and guitarist Dylan Sexe performing “Amazing Grace.� Along with the talents of 18 musicians, the works of 15 artists of all ages were on display.

Chaska City Council OKs District’s Dome Project Concept

Voters approved paying for it last fall, now the Chaska City Council has OK’d the concept of a sports dome at Chaska Middle School East. The 103,500-square-foot fab-

ric dome will be inflated from late-fall through the earlyspring. It will house phy-ed. classes for middle school students. After school, the Chaska Herald recently reported, it will

It’s not just your land. It’s your legacy. The Minnesota Agricultural Water Quality Certification Program rewards farmers like you for what you do best, taking care of your land and its natural resources.

Session on Transportation Issues Impacting Residents Set for June 9 Families and Individuals Sharing Hope (FISH) will host an information session about transportation “Getting There – Opportunities and Barriers,� on Thursday, June 9 at Hope Church in Jordon. During this session, you will learn about what a group of mechanics in Jordan is doing to help those in need to repair their vehicles. There will also be opportunities for partnership and discussion about the recent meeting of area mechanics in Scott County. “There are many challenges that come along with transportation barriers, those barriers can turn into major setbacks like job loss and homelessness if people can’t get back on the road again,� according to Bethany Tjornhom, executive director of FISH. “We hope that participants gain a better understanding of the issue so

that they can positively and effectively work together to help create new opportunities for transportation.� People who have been helped by local mechanics will also be sharing their own stories regarding the struggle of having to choose between paying their rent or paying for a car repair. SmartLink, which offers multiple types of rides, including transportation specifically for people with disabilities — funded under the ADA — and Dial-a-Ride, which serves all residents in Carver and Scott counties will also be giving an update on services. The session is open to the public and free. Thursday, June 9, 9:30-11:00 a.m., Hope Lutheran Church, 201 Hope Avenue, Jordan. Space is limited.

Belle Plaine Alliance Debuts at Dementia Education Workshop Belle Plaine’s recently minted Dementia Awareness Alliance (DAA) received a community introduction last Wednesday during a dementia awareness workshop hosted by The Lutheran Home Association (TLHA) at St. John Lutheran Church. About 50 community members, caregivers and individuals with memory loss attended. Member Rev. Mark Johnson of St. John Lutheran Church briefly introduced the new dementia group. “Dementia Awareness Alliance is made up of members from a wide variety of community members and businesses. When Jan Zimmerman came to talk with us, we knew this was important and wanted to get involved with this organization to support those living with dementia. All are welcome to join us,� Johnson said. The DAA is a community partnership, driven by those living with dementia, community members and local businesses, whose goals are to improve health outcomes for community members living with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. There are 89,000 people in Minnesota living with Alzheimer’s, according to the Alzheimer’s Association, and the disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the state. The dementia awareness workshop, featuring University of Minnesota professor and Alzheimer’s researcher Dr. Joseph E. Gaugler, offered education on dementia and the impact to those

diagnosed and their caregivers. “I won’t lie: Caregiving is a hard job. It’s challenging. Having a diagnosis of dementia can be scary, and people are often in denial, which can cause troubled family dynamics. This is why early diagnosis is important; it names the concerns and gives a person time to plan and discuss their future,� Gaugler said. Gaugler is a professor in the School of Nursing and Center on Aging at The University of Minnesota. His research includes sources and effectiveness of long-term care for older adults with Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss. A Live Well at Home grant from the Minnesota Department of Human Services made the workshop possible. Jan Zimmerman, Director of Dementia Outreach and Education for TLHA, offered attendees an overview of the grant, which also helped fund the start of the DAA in Belle Plaine. The grant fosters: – Ministry through development of religious resources. – Outreach. – Advocating for those with dementia and care partners. – Education for businesses and community members. – Collaboration with surrounding communities. – Technology resource for assistive technology. – Quality environment in long term care (programing, life experiences, support for family members).

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: It’s sometimes hard to understand the difďŹ culties cancer patients go through, unless you see it for yourself. I was the primary caregiver for my mother, who lost her battle with lung cancer. I have also been part of the caregiving teams for several friends who have passed away from cancer. That’s why I am so thrilled to see Congress consider a bill this year that helps cancer patients through improved palliative care access. Palliative care is a team-based treatment that’s useful at any stage of a serious illness like cancer. Doctors work together with patients and their families to manage symptoms and side effects, focus on a patient’s goals and add an extra layer of support to their overall care. During my mother’s journey with cancer, palliative care improved her quality of life. A team of health care professionals, a hospice chaplain and her priest were able to help ease her symptoms and provide emotional support. She received massage therapy that complimented her pain control, relaxation and deep breathing methods that helped her breathe

One of our stores was advertising hanging lamps, toothpicks and cuspidors; doughnut cutters were offered at 1 cent, coffee pots at 15 cents. Michael Sheely, a pioneer of Sibley County, died in St. Paul at age 84. His remains were taken to Assumption for burial. In pioneer days, he was a merchant in Faxon and represented Sibley County for two terms in the legislature. Joe Geare, prominent Blakeley farmer, left on a trip to the southwest to seek a climate that would be better for his health. There were steamboat excursions on the lake at Waconia, and local parties made the trip by team to picnic there.

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

better than she was able to do on her own. A nutritionist helped ďŹ nd things mom was able to eat and keep down. The hospice chaplain and her priest were able to have conversations not only with mom to provide emotional support but with all of our extended family to start to prepare us for what lie ahead. All of this extra care helped our family tremendously as we faced cancer and said goodbye to our mother. When several friends faced cancer in the past, not as much was known about the beneďŹ ts of this type of care. Their journeys were a lot harder without this complementing care. Palliative care is an important piece of the journey so cancer patients and families can have the best care possible for improved quality of life. I’d like to thank Sen. Franken for supporting this bill. Please, Sen. Klobuchar and U.S. Rep. Kline, add your names to this legislation as well. This will absolutely help patients better manage their health and focus on beating cancer.

Lowe’s, are too close at hand to compete head-to-head with them. When Fleet Farm opened in 2012, Steffen said he felt the drop-off in sales. But he knows many of the customers stop in for items they ran out of, didn’t get enough of when shopping at the big-box retailers, or an individual items they need that doesn’t justify the drive to Carver, Chaska or Shakopee. “You really don’t save anything when you have to drive an hour or so to go get something,” Kolden said. “When you factor

location and time in, his prices are very competitive.” Steffen said his hardware store is still profitable. He thinks a person with the type of ambition and drive he enjoyed as a younger man could improve the operation. He suggests adding lumber and other products people tend to buy in larger quantities at the big box retailers. “Maybe a half-dozen of this or that. You could rearrange the shelves,” he said. “It can be done.”

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

Jim Connelly Challenging Vogel for House District 20A Seat

DFLer Jim Connelly of Derrynane Township, a director with the Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative, is running to represent the area in the Minnesota House of Representatives District 20A. Connelly recently filed to challenge Rep. Bob Vogel, RElko New Market, in the coming fall election. House District 20A includes southern Scott County, including Belle Plaine and area townships and western Le Sueur County. Connelly, who lives in the St. Thomas area, is challenging the first-term Republican on a broad range of issues rather than any single topic, he said. He believes he can do a good

job representing the area in St. Paul. “I’m a lifelong resident of the area and have raised four kids here,” he said. “I have a good

set of ears and I have a common sense approach to getting things done. They tell me common sense is still allowed in St. Paul.” Connelly recently won re-election to a fifth term in the Minnesota Valley Electric Coop’s board of directors representing MVEC’s third district. The coop district overlaps somewhat with House District 20A. He reportedly sought the DFL’s endorsement at last night’s endorsing convention in Montgomery. Connelly arrived at the convention as the lone declared candidate for the endorsement. “I understand what’s going on in the (House) district, what the issues are,” he said. “I’d really like to represent my friends and neighbors in the area in the district.”

Scott County’s first solar garden project will be in Helena Township and not Blakeley, thanks to the county board’s approval of Geronimo Energy’s request for a permit to build a facility.

county staff has studied and the first approved since the county adopted rules governing solar gardens last fall. The request for a conditional use permit was on the county board’s consent agenda last Tuesday and approved without discussion. The plan calls for the solar panels to be up to 15 feet off the ground. Screening landscaping plan along the north, east, and south property line adjoining the 10-acre parcel to the south. The project, once built, will generate enough electricity to power up to 400 houses annually, according to Geronimo’s application. It will generate solar electricity and transfer it to the regional grid. Xcel Energy customers can subscribe to the solar garden program. They’ll receive a credit on their bill based upon the output of the solar garden. There were no objections or concerns over the company’s proposal during the planning commission’s public hearing earlier this spring. Tina Munson of Geronimo Energy said at the time the company hopes to be-

gin work this spring, although the exact schedule has not yet been finalized. State law passed in 2013 requires Xcel Energy to provide 1½ percent of the energy it sells be generated via solar power by 2020.

Blakeley Solar Garden

Scott County is still working on reaching solutions to concerns over a proposed solar garden in Blakeley Township. It is expected to be back before the planning commission July 11 for a recommendation. ScottSun is proposing a 5-megawatt solar garden on land Bonita and John Kane own along County Road 1, just north of the road’s intersection with West 250th Street (County Road 51) in Blakeley Township. The solar panels will be on concrete foundations 8 to 12 feet into the ground. Earlier this spring, the county’s planning commission tabled the proposal until a variety of issues, among them being the impact the solar garden would have on existing tile lines.

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

County HHW Facility Close May 28 The Scott County Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Facility will be closed on Saturday, May 28 in observance of the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend. The HHW Facility will reopen for normal operation on Wednesday, June 1. The RE-USE Room will also be closed on Saturday. The Scott County HHW Facility is located at 588 Country Trail East (Highway 282), just one-half mile west of the intersection of highways 13 and 282, and County Road 17. The HHW Facility is normally open on Wednesdays from noon to 6 p.m., Thursdays from noon to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon. The RE-USE Room is also open on these same days, but it does close 15 minutes earlier than the facility. The HHW Facility will ac-

cept your hazardous chemicals (including paint, stain, varnish, paint stripper, solvents, household cleaning chemicals, automotive chemicals, yard and garden pesticides, mercurycontaining devices, spray cans, etc.), as well as other problem materials such as electronics, appliances, and tires. The Scott County HHW program is planning an expansion project later this year that will allow the facility to serve Scott County residents more efficiently and safely. However, this project may impact the HHW operational schedule this fall by causing some facility closures. Visit www.scottcountymn. gov/HHW for the latest construction updates and schedules, as well as more information on proper HHW management in Scott County.

Girls’ Results

MRC Championships The Belle Plaine girls had five individuals capture first place to go along with the four victorious relays on their way to racking up 212.50 points Thursday at Jordan, where the weather was ideal. Tri-City United took second place with 165 points, followed by Jordan (113), Le SueurHenderson (65), Mayer Lutheran (48.50), Norwood Young America (47) and Sibley East (40). All first-place winners, including each member of the top relays, earn all-conference honors. Junior Selin Dikmen had two of those individual titles, capturing the 100-meter hurdles in a MRC-record time of 15.09, which was about three-quarters of a second ahead of TCU’s Megan Rutt. Dikmen ran a 15:05 in the preliminaries. Dikmen also broke the conference record in the 300 hurdles with a time of 45.84. Kristi Frederick of TCU was second in 47.11. Dikmen was also a member of the Tigers’ winning 4x100 relay team that also consisted of Bridget Egan, Anna Donkhong and Ally Fink. Their time of 50.86 was exactly one second ahead of TCU. The other conference champion relays for Belle Plaine were the 4x200 group of Taylor Kruger, Donkhong, Alissa Schultz

Other first-place finishes for the Tigers were Schultz in the 400 dash (1:00.31), Egan in the pole vault (9-6) and Schmidt in the 800 run (2:26.84). Jenna Gatz placed second for Belle Plaine in both the 100 and 200 dashes. Winning both those events were fellow senior Briana Berninghaus of TCU.

Tigers Beat St. Peter, Fall Twice to Class B Teams by Brett Kruschke, Matt Schultz and Mike Schultz Over the past week, the Tigers lost to a Class A opponent (Minneapolis Mudcats) and Class B opponent (Chanhassen), but rose up to defeat Class C cohort St. Peter in impressive fashion Friday night, 8-2. The Tigers are off to a 2-5 start, with a 1-2 record in the River Valley League. Tonight (Wednesday) former Tiger Brad Lawson and the Minnesota Lake Royals come to town for a 7:30 p.m. reunion game. Belle Plaine is scheduled to play at a pair of beautiful ballparks as part of a Memorial Weekend sandwich: Cannon Falls on Friday and St. Anthony on Tuesday, both 7:30 p.m. However, due to a third of the town team being on the No. 1-ranked BPHS Tigers, there may not be enough warm bodies with their playoffs about to begin. Stay tuned to the team’s social media accounts for any possible updates. Mpls. Mudcats 11, Tigers 1 Tuesday was a special night

at Tiger Park, even if the scoreboard didn’t indicate as much for the hometown nine. It was Tom Melchior Night, honoring the former Tiger who has written several books detailing the storied history of Tiger Baseball – not to mention many other contributions covering the history of amateur baseball in the area. Tom played a game of pregame catch and that was probably manager Mike Schultz’s best chance at victory – to sign Melchior on the spot and take advantage of the natural drop on the right-hander’s gravity ball. Instead Belle Plaine got to taste some Melchior medicine in the form of left-hander Sam, Tom’s grandson. He limited the Tigers to one run over seven frames and was sharp throughout. Several Tigers from Tom Melchior’s era came out to support their friend and teammate, including Pete Johnson, Roger Martin, Erwin (Mel) Heitkamp and Paul Johnson. It was truly

LS-H eventually closed to within 8-5 in the fifth inning before three Tiger runs in the bottom of the fifth and one in the sixth sealed the contest. “It is always tough to come back ready to play in the second game of a doubleheader after a big game one win, but the boys did a good job of jumping on Le Sueur early,” Schultz said. “It was also good to see us keep adding runs and extending the

Tigers Get No. 6 Seed in Section by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School softball team absorbed some blows in the conference standings when it got swept in a doubleheader in its own park by Minnesota River Conference power Le Sueur-Henderson last Tuesday by counts of 3-0 and 11-1. Nonetheless, Belle Plaine, which finished the regular season 4-8 in the MRC, 7-9 overall, received the No. 6 seed for the Section 2AA Tournament and was scheduled to host No. 11 seed Kenyon-Wanamingo (6-12) in the opening round Tuesday after this edition of the Herald went to press.

Green Isle Community School to Honor Judge McCarthy

Green Isle Community School students will be honoring retired District Court Judge Thomas G. McCarthy in their annual Elder’s Program tomorrow night (May 26, 7 p.m.) at the school. As it has done every year since 2005, Green Isle Community School selects a noteworthy elder to honor with a night of original musicals based on their lives and performed by the students at the charter school. The creative process began in December during an oral history presentation made by this year’s selected elder, Judge McCarthy. Based on those presentations,

Tara Jungclaus (composer), and lyricist and playwright known as tdbarna together forged a 60minute musical. Music rehearsals began in earnest in March. Every student is expected to learn each of the songs. At the same time, students began learning their lines and marks as tdbarna direct the show, with teachers leading a majority of the rehearsals. Green Isle Community School Director Brandy Barrett said the Elder’s program is “a unique way to give back to the community, honor those who have paved the way, and for the children to learn about history and

culture first hand. It is sheer joy to witness the intergenerational bonds forming.” The one-night-only performance is free to the public. The school is located at 190 McGrann St in Green Isle. The voters of Minnesota, through a grant from the Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council, make this activity possible. The grant is funded by a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. For more information contact Barrett at brandy.barrett@greenislecommuniytschool.org or call 507-326-7144, ext 205.

(continued from page 12) great to have them back at the old ballyard and probably wondering if they still couldn’t help the club. Tom’s son, Paul, picked up the managerial victory in the Mudcats’ first game in franchise history. Tigers 8, St. Peter 2 On a beautiful night, the Tigers hosted the Saints of St. Peter and looked to get their first league win of the year, with the Tigers securing a nice 8-2 victory. Derek Dahlke got his first start of the season and went two innings. Jonny Vinkemeier threw the next frame and Ben Wagner worked the last five innings, earning the win. The Tigers struck first in their initial cracks with a double by Dahlke and an RBI single by Aiden Ladd. They got two more in the bottom of the fourth on RBI singles by Dylan Nyberg and Ben Wagner. Belle Plaine blew it open in the seventh with four runs, highlighted by an RBI single from Joe Hankins. Chanhassen 13, Tigers 6 Belle Plaine travelled to Chanhassen to take on the Red Birds on their opening day. The Tigers

looked like they came ready to play as they scored one in the first after a Derek Dahlke single, an error and a RBI single from Vinkemeier. After another run in the second, it looked like our Class B woes would discontinue. But a nine-run bottom half of the second proved to be enough for the pretty birds. Newcomer Joe Pomije started on the mound and looked like a real pitcher compared to most of what has been throwing this year. He was not helped by errors in the second inning, which proved to be the big blow. He started the third before giving way to Dylan Nyberg, who finished the frame and got two outs in the fourth.

Matt Schultz came off the DL early in tennis shoes and brother Mike’s glove to promptly record the final out of the fourth. The Tigers batted around in the fourth, with three Tigers getting hit by pitches, four walks and three strikeouts. Joe Hankins tossed an inning for the Tigers before giving way to Chase Emmers, who threw the final four and looked good by not giving up any runs and forcing the Tigers to play all nine innings. The Tigers scraped together four hits, with no one having more than one. Our striped felines whiffed a whopping 21 times during the contest.

Michael Kroells Repeats as All-District Academic Achiever Belle Plaine High School graduate Michael Kroells is a repeat Academic All-District honoree, earning the recognition for the second time and continuing to maintain a near-perfect GPA as he works toward an aerospace engineering degree at the University of Minnesota. In addition to his academic honors, which also include multiple awards from the Big Ten and the National Wrestling Coaches’ Association, Kroells

is coming off his most successful season on the wrestling mat for the Gophers. He placed seventh in the NCAA tournament this spring, securing his second All-America season and becoming the 51st multiple-time All-American in program history. Kroells set several new careerhighs this past wrestling season with the Gophers, including wins (35) and major decisions (eight).
