Memorial Day in Belle Plaine A large crowd filled the upper level of Veterans’ Memorial Park for a solemn Memorial Day ceremony Monday. (Above) Guest speaker Sgt. 1st Class (Retired) Jeremy Nagorski of the Minnesota Army National Guard spoke of the sacrifices soldiers and their families have made for their country. He thanked members of the community for looking out for his family during his three deployments.

Belle Plaine Will Bid Farewell to Class of 2017 BPHS’s 112th Commencement Exercise Sunday

If people are looking for a cookie-cutter group of young adults, generally speaking, the Belle Plaine High School Class of 2017 is likely not the first option. Sunday (June 4) this unique group of high school seniors will join the ranks of Belle Plaine High School alumni.

The Class of 2017 – approximately 110 strong – will graduate Sunday in Belle Plaine High School’s South Gymnasium.

The school’s 112th commenceBPHS senior Branda Tran will leave her mark at the senior high school -- a mural on the wall ment ceremony will begin at 2 p.m. outside the principal’s office. Tran is one of 110 members of the school’s Class of 2017.

The class and its leaders have a unique flair to them, said school administrators. Jack Larson enjoys wearing a suit decorated like an American flag.

rose or carnation, but rather a tiger lily.

“They don’t necessarily follow the status quo,” said Laurie Green, Belle Plaine High School’s senior counselor.

However unique, the group’s members enjoy good, clean fun. At Friday’s yearbook signing during the lunch hour, John Morrison attempted to consume a 36-inch sub sandwich.

“It’s pretty harmless and adds to the culture of the school,” Principal Dave Kreft said of the class members’ approach to inschool frivolity. “I don’t worry about the decisions they’re going to make.”

Compared to smaller schools, Belle Plaine students have been able to establish their own identities, Kreft said. Groups of students enjoy their own sense of individuality, but without being in conflict with others, he said.

He noted a group of students who studied computer-aided

drafting (CAD). They took the nickname, “CADets. During the holidays, they sent out a video the group had worked on featuring students and staff in fun activities.

Changes Aplenty

The seniors have seen many changes in popular culture and the use of technology. When members of the Class of 2017 entered kindergarten, YouTube was in its infancy. The explosion of the Internet, capabilities of cell phones and notebooksized computers like the ones they carry each day are the obvious choices for the most dramatic changes that have taken root since this year’s seniors started school.

When they went off to kindergarten in 2005, the most popu-

Having Retired, Dungey Writing Life’s Next Chapter

But the decision had already been made. Dungey and his wife, Lindsay, are at peace with the path they had set. Whether he won the title or not, the season finale in Las Vegas earlier this month would be his final competitive race. The fourthplace finish and season championship were the perfect ending

to a storybook career.

“It just topped it off. In my heart, I’ve put a lot of work and we’ve put a lot of work into this,” he said. “I’m content with my decision.”

Luckily for Dungey, who spent much of his youth growing up in Belle Plaine, the story ends well – at least this part of the story. Now it’s time to write the next chapter, to move forward.

Dungey is not certain exactly what that chapter will be. He and his wife, Lindsay, are taking their time in the ‘writing’ process. He knows it will involve some association with supercross motorcycle racing. Maybe he’ll help develop young riders by passing along his experience to develop the next Ryan Dungey. His work will likely involve an association with KTM, the sport motorcycle company that has sup-

Jordan Mulls Concession Stand With ‘Healthy’ Offerings in Park The Jordan Parks Advisory Commission recently took a unique position on the offerings of a concession stand proposed for Lagoon Park. It should offer healthy snacks rather than junk food.

The proposal being forwarded to the city council is for a concession stand offering snacks like water, fruit freezies and

Gatorade, rather than ice cream, candy and soda, the Jordan Independent recently reported.

The proposal also calls for watercraft rentals from the stand.

The stand would replace restroom space. It would cost the city up to $10,000 to open. City crews would do some of the work to reduce costs.

Carver’s Downtown Streets Will Receive Some Attention Motor Home A Total Loss Belle Plaine firefighters were not able to save a motor home on the 27700 block of Meridian Avenue Thursday evening (May 25). Firefighters received the fire call at 7 p.m. William Schmit owned the motor home. The fire started in the engine compartment. Assistant Fire Chief Steve Otto said firefighters

believe the origin of the fire was electrical. The motor home is a total loss, with damage extending from the engine compartment to just behind the driver’s seat. Two vehicles and two snowmobiles parked near the motor home suffered heat damage, Otto said.

Downtown Carver streets will receive some needed attention this summer now that the city council OK’d plans and accepted bids for a $2.08 million improvement project.

Streets will be widened and curb and gutter will be added where needed, the Chaska Herald recently reported. Catch basins and new water pipes will also be added. Decorative sidewalk, streets lights and a clock

will be installed along Broadway Street.

A small parking lot will also be installed on a vacant lot along Third Street West.

GMH Asphalt of Chaska submitted the lowest of three bids for the project. Work will begin next month. A final paving will be applied next spring.

The city will finance the project with bonds.

Area Memorial Day Ceremonies Memorial Day ceremonies were held at various cemeteries and churches in the Belle Plaine area. (Above) Members of the Green Isle American Legion honored deceased soldiers Monday at Assumption Cemetery in Washington Lake Township. Joe Luskey played “Taps” following a salute from a firing squad. (Below) James Kuhl, a member of West Union Lutheran Church, spoke to about 50 people about his experiences serving with the U.S. Army in the Philippines during World War II. His presentation followed a remembrance ceremony in the church’s cemetery.

Honoring Their Sacrifices Belle Plaine’s Memorial Day ceremony in Veterans’ Memorial Park drew a few hundred people on a blustery, cool, overcast day. (Above) Representatives of the Weldon family placed a white carnation in a cross in memory of Francis (Red) Weldon, a veteran of World War II. (Middle) VFW Commander Larry Ruehling presented a symbolic tribute to soldiers who had given so much to their country. (Below) A firing squad fired three volleys in honor of fallen soldiers.

Deaths

Senior Housing Will Replace Former Bus Garage in Carver Donnie Seaver

John A. Siemon, 79, of New Prague, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Friday, May 26, 2017, at his home.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held Thursday, June 1 at 10 a.m. at St. Wenceslaus Church with Father Kevin Clinton officiating. Visitation will take place Wednesday from 4-8 p.m. and Thursday morning from 7:30–9:30 a.m. at Bruzek Funeral Home. Military honors will be conducted after Mass and burial will occur at a later date. Lunch will follow mass at the KC Hall.

John was born January 11, 1938, in Belle Plaine Township to Arthur W. and Eleanor E. (Moriarty) Siemon. He grew up in the Union Hill area, attending country district school, Union Hill Parochial, and graduating from New Prague High School. His education finished with a diesel engine school in Chicago.

After high school, John entered active duty in the US Army in 1957, serving as a paratrooper in the 1st Airborne Battle Group 187th Infantry.

While stationed in Lebanon, he and his buddies fashioned “the finest shower in the area� from discarded oil drums, some scrap lumber, and an old hand pump.

After discharge in 1962, John worked for George Prokes and Ervin Bendzick doing excavation work. He started his own company, Siemon Construction, in 1967, which he would own and operate for over 50 years.

On August 22, 1970, John married Judith J. Mikolasek in New Prague and in the summer of 1977, the couple moved to their farm east of New Prague, where he would also farm in addition to his construction work.

John was a licensed sewer designer and installer, a member of the JC’s, the Knights of Columbus, the VFW, St. John’s Catholic Aid Association and the New Prague Sportsmen’s Club. He sponsored a bowling league for many years and enjoyed the sport himself.

John was a gentle man, loved by all who met him and above all, a family man. Family was first, whether it was work or play; he was “all in�, no matter what the adventure proposed from fishing to golfing to anything new.

John is survived by his wife, Judy of New Prague; daughters, Catherine (Jeffrey) Dols of New Prague and Joan (Michael) Anderson of Eden Prairie; grandchildren, Jacqueline Dols, Travis Dols, Daniel Anderson; sisters, Jeanette (Marvin) Peters, Jean (LeRoy) Geiger, Mary Cavanaugh, Dorothy (Eugene A.) Tupy, Ruth (Donald) Giesen all of New Prague.

He is preceded in death by his parents; two infant sisters; one infant brother; and brother-inlaw, Jerry Cavanaugh.

Donnie Seaver, 76 of Jordan, passed away on Friday, May 26, 2017 at St. Francis Medical Center.

A visitation was held on Tuesday, May 30 from 4-7 p.m. at Ballard-Sunder Funeral Home, Jordan. A funeral will be held on Wednesday, May 31 at 11 a.m. with a visitation one hour prior all at Hope Lutheran Church, 201 Hope Avenue, Jordan. Donnie will be laid to rest at 1:30 p.m. at St. Patrick Catholic Cemetery. Pastor Steve Thompson will preside. Military honors will be provided by the Jordan Honor Guard.

On June 5, 1940 in Belle Plaine, Rolan and Margaret Seaver celebrated the birth of their son, Donald Seaver.

Throughout his life, Donnie was a kind, hard-working individual who put others before himself.

He married the love of his life, JoAnn Franek, on October 17, 1967. This union was blessed with 42 wonderful years of marriage.

More than anything, Donnie enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. Donnie appreciated classic country and having a cold beer while cheering for the Vikings.

Donnie’s generosity will always be remembered by his children, Kelly (Dan) Schmitt, Shannon (Marlowe) Holmes, Tammy (Aaron) Neumann, Randy (Patty) Seaver, Ronnie (Phimpha) Seaver; grandchildren, Ryan Schmitt, Dylan Holmes, Conner Holmes, Frank Neumann, Joe Neumann, Justin Seaver, Jenna Seaver, Anna Seaver, Katie th Herrmann, Ashley Seaver, Cassidy Seaver, Bradley Riesgraf; several greatFr.

The former Lenzen Bus Garage in Carver will eventually become senior housing, thanks to a recent unanimous Carver City Council decision.

The council recently OK’d a plan to sell the property to Shingobee Real Estate and have a 40- to 60-unit senior housing complex built on the 4.2-acre parcel on the 900 block of West Sixth Street, the Chaska Herald reported. The two-story building will meet a city goal of a more diverse housing stock in Carver.

The company will buy the property from the city for approximately $250,000. Construction of the building, the land purchase and other costs elevate the project to an estimated $6.7 million investment.

Shingobee’s proposal includes independent living, assisted living and memory care units in a two-story facility of 50,000 to 75,000 square feet. Depending on the size of the apartment and the level of care, rents for similar housing in the area ranges from $1,035 to $6,1160 monthly. The rents for the proposed apartments in Carver have not yet been set.

Shingobee has requested an unspecified amount of tax-increment financing (TIF) for the project. The company is seeking approximately 80 percent of its property taxes rebated for an undetermined amount of time.

The project will include rezoning of the property and demolition of the metal building used as a bus garage and later the home of a pillow manufacturing plant. The site will need some level of environmental cleanup.

The company is hoping to complete the purchase of the land and begin construction this fall.

Former Napa Auto Parts Store Owner Charged With Theft When Yancey fell behind on payments to CornerStone State Bank, the bank closed the store Nov. 2. The criminal complaint says Justin Yancey threw the store keys in the bank’s drivethru teller bin that afternoon and drove off.

Police learned in January from Yancey the bank’s inventory had been around $300,000 during the previous ďŹ ve years. But a check of the inventory the day the store was closed showed Yancey had allegedly changed the inventory. The criminal complaint states 65 Napa batteries and a Challenger Scissors Lift were no longer in the store.

The lift was valued at just over $41,700. The criminal complaint says the inventory was off by about $56,000.

The changes to the inventory were made using Michael Yancey’s password. The charges state the Napa store’s inventory using Michael Yancey’s log-in/password were made the day the store was closed and that Justin Yancey was the only employee in the store after he sent the other employee working that day home at 1:44 p.m.

Speeding in B.P. Drew Attention Maplewood Man Didn’t Want A Maplewood man reportedly speeding through Belle Plaine drew the level of attention he didn’t want as police cited him for excess speed and possession of controlled substances.

Harold Phillip Davis III is charged with felony-level possession of a controlled substance. He is due in Scott County District Court June 16 for a ďŹ rst appearance.

According to the criminal complaint, Davis was stopped near the intersection of Meridian Street and Highway 169 in Belle Plaine May 24 at 10 p.m. after an ofďŹ cer clocked his vehicle at 78 mph in a 65 mph

zone.

While talking with Davis, the ofďŹ cer detected the smell of marijuana from inside the sport utility vehicle. The ofďŹ cer found two rolled marijuana cigarettes inside a pack of Camel cigarettes, according to the criminal complaint. Davis admitted the marijuana cigarettes belonged to him, the charge states.

Police also found in the pack of cigarettes an Adderall pill, a controlled substance. Davis claimed the pill belonged to his girlfriend and that he did not have a prescription for it. A second Adderall pill was found inside the SUV’s center console.

Montgomery Residents Push City Council to Keep the P.D. A group of Montgomery residents recently attended a city council with a singular purpose – tell the city council to keep the city’s police department rather than replace it with sheriff’s deputies.

The residents spent two hours last Monday (May 22) providing individual comments and anecdotes all aimed at convincing the city council to maintain a city police department rather than outsourcing the work to the Le Sueur County Sheriff’s OfďŹ ce, the New Prague Times recently reported.

They spoke of better customer service from city police, consistent stafďŹ ng, and the importance of knowing local police ofďŹ cers.

If the city council favors a contract with the sheriff’s ofďŹ ce, deputies will bid for the shifts in Montgomery. They would be granted shifts based on seniority.

One resident asked councilors if they planned to outscource ambulance service and the city’s ďŹ re department, too. Residents expressed respect for sheriff’s deputies, but stressed the importance of Montgomery having its own police department.

The meeting was held a week after a special council meeting during which Mayor John Grimm would not allow residents to speak on the police department issue. He opened the May 22 meeting apologizing for “wasting� residents’ time.

The council discussion comes at a time the department is without a police chief. The city ďŹ red former Police Chief John Schmidt and

then rescinded the termination so the city could offer the chief a severance package to resign.

According to the city’s Web site, “the provision of law enforcement is a key component of what government does� and represents the largest expenditure in the city’s budget. Funding police

services is the largest component of the property tax levy, according to the Web site. “The city council is tasked with evaluating how to provide this critical service to residents in the most effective manner and ensure the best interests of the community are served.�

The former owner of the Napa Auto Parts store in Belle Plaine is charged with two counts of felony theft while the store was in the process of foreclosure late last year.

Justin Thomas Yancey of Le Sueur is charged with theft by swindle and theft by defeating the security system to remove items from the store. He is due in Scott County District Court for a ďŹ rst appearance June 16.

According to the criminal complaint, Yancey and his father, Michael, owned the store on East Main Street. Michael Yancey had turned control of the store over to his 33-year-old son in September of 2014 and hadn’t been in the building for over a year, according to the criminal complaint.

It states police were notiďŹ ed by agents of CornerStone State Bank last December of 2016 the store’s actual inventory did not match records of merchandise the auto parts store had on hand. The inventory was used as collateral for a line of credit the Yanceys had with the bank for about eight years, according to the criminal charge.

Seventy-ďŹ ve seniors walked across the Belle Plaine High School stage to receive diplomas at commencement exercises Sunday afternoon.

Retiring superintendent Dr. John Bartholow also spoke to the audience.

Tigers win two in district play, lose to Jordan. The Tigers won two games in District play, beating the Le Center Wildcats in the opening round 12-1.

In 1948, when Belle Plaine’s baseball grandstand was new, residents often boasted about the ďŹ ne structure which comfortably seated nearly 400 fans.

It was constructed primarily by

its pricing plan for rural Belle Plaine exchange customers.

Centel has requested permission to change the pricing plan for the rural portion of the Belle Plaine exchange if a majority of the rural customers approve.

Centel will be sending out a survey to those customers within the next few weeks outlining the change. The survey will be the second survey Centel has sent out this year concerning the quality of rural telephone service.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, The founding document of the United States of America is the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence begins as follows: “When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.�

In these ďŹ rst two sentences, the founding document of our great nation indicates that our Creator, Nature’s God, is the very foundation on which the United States of America is established and the source of our rights as individual citizens.

As a consequence, any organization that encourages atheism is by deďŹ nition a subversive organization at odds with the government of the United States of America as deďŹ ned by the Declaration of Independence. That is not to say that individual citizens are not free to be atheists; however, it is to say that no government organization responsible for the governance of the United States of America is required to honor or support organizations that promote atheism. In fact, to aid and abet atheistic organizations can be considered acts of treason.

As these same opening lines of the Declaration of Independence indicate, atheistic organizations could choose to separate themselves from the United States of America and found a new nation based on atheistic principles, however, it will never be the case that the government of the United States of America is required to support or honor the demands of atheistic organizations that undermine the very foundation of our existence and author of our human rights: the Creator.

Belle Plaine residents were asked are asked to cut down on their lawn watering. Public Works Superintendent Pat Fogarty informed the city council Monday he was imposing an odd-even sprinkling ban starting immediately.

The Memorial Day services here at St. John’s cemetery Monday was well attended.

We appreciate Father Dave for all his kindness.

New Prague Schools ‘Pigeon Prank’ Will Come With a Price A group of New Prague High School students thought releasing pigeons and a rooster into the school would be an amusing end-of-the-year prank.

With the four pranksters identified, the New Prague Area School Board is awaiting the final price tag for the cleanup effort, the New Prague Times recently reported. The district is emphasizing the tomfoolery was not a “senior prank,” said NPHS Principal Lonnie Seifert.

“We don’t want them tagged with this,” he said.

The foul release of the birds occurred between Thursday evening (May 18) and Friday morning. The birds perched in a skylight above a stairwell,

between a locker bay and the school’s common area where students dine. Staff found the area littered with fowl droppings.

The school district used class periods as a digital learning day.

Teachers posted assignments online for students to complete.

The district is hoping students will also learn that future shenanigans will not be tolerated.

Costs associated with the prank include cleanup and sanitizing tainted areas, lost wages for staff, lost revenue for food service, the cost of perishable food that could not being served, and transporting students to another school building for classes Friday.

Another crew spruced up the church last week, painted and fixed the steeple and trim around the windows.

Christine Wolff Smith 57, of Grand Maris, passed away May 24, 2017. Chris was born to Charles and Yvonne Lang Wolff on November 15, 1959.

Chris is the eldest granddaughter of Madelyne Burns Wolff of Madison Lake. Last Tuesday evening, Chris and her family gathered with coats and blankets, they didn’t light a candle, they lite a campfire “on the North Shore Drive by the beautiful Lake Superior Shore”.

Christine is a wife to Tom, Mom to Beth and Norman, Grandma to Rebecca, Kaitlyn, Savannah and two more. Chris is an older sister to Tressa, Lorie-Ann, Chet, Paula. A prayer service will be at All Saints Catholic Church in Madison Lake on Sunday, June 4 at 2 p.m. Chris is three generations from St. Thomas. Her family has our sincere sympathy.

Have a good week!

Ask A Trooper

by Sgt. Troy Christianson of the Minnesota State Patrol Question: I see vehicles go by with extended carriers attached to their hitch with several full gas cans. We discuss what could happen if a driver was not paying attention and ran into one such vehicle. How safe can this be? Is there any laws in place that makes this unlawful?

Answer: There is no law against transporting fuel containers on an extended carrier for non-commercial vehicles, although I agree that it could be a very dangerous situation in the case of a crash.

Vehicle ďŹ res tend to burn quickly when ignited by an outside source, electrical problem or engine ďŹ re. I have investigated rear-end collisions in which the fuel tank was ruptured and gasoline was dispersed at the scene, making it a very dangerous situation. Newer vehicles are designed to keep the fuel from leaking out of the gas tank in the event of a crash by placing the tank in the safest location possible on the vehicle.

Gas cans/tanks that are placed on a cargo type carrier on the rear of a vehicle have little to no protection if they are struck by another vehicle. If this occurs, fuel will most likely spill out of the tanks and potentially cause a ďŹ re to both vehicles.

There are laws that pertain to an extended carrier: • The carrier and cargo must not block the view of the taillights and license plate. • The external cargo carrier must not extend more than four feet beyond the bed or body of the vehicle. It must have a red, yellow or orange ag or cloth not less than 16 inches square. • If the external cargo carrier extends more than four feet beyond the bed or body of the vehicle, an additional rear light(s) is required.

It is important to mention that that there is a law against hauling anything that extends beyond the line of the fenders on the driver’s side and extends more than six inches beyond the line of the fenders on the

passenger’s side.

Remember to always secure any load on a vehicle. The load must be tied or strapped down so it will not shift and fall onto the roadway.

Please place items like gas cans in an area where they

have some protection if a crash would occur.

You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober.

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).

Belle Plaine Carries Top Seed into Section 2AA Tournament

Belle Plaine’s defense was solid in the opening innings against the Giants last Thursday.

And then the roof fell in.

Le Sueur-Henderson scored seven times over the next three innings to steal a win and send the Tigers to Mankato for a clash with Maple River Saturday (May 27). The Tigers won that game but saw their season come to an end Saturday afternoon against Fairmont. They finished the season at 10-11 overall.

Thursday’s victory advanced the Giants to a showdown against St. Peter, a game the Saints won. The Giants’ season came to an end Saturday afternoon with a 4-3 loss to Waterville-Elysian-Morristown.

Le Sueur-Henderson 7, Tigers 6 Belle Plaine made the game look easy in the first three innings. The Tigers scored twice in each inning to take a 6-0 lead.

But Le Sueur-Henderson came storming back, scoring one run in the third inning and four more in the fourth to cut Belle Plaine’s lead to 6-5. The Giants tied the score, 6-6, in the sixth inning and added the gamewinning run in the sixth inning to claim the win.

Tigers Wrap Up Season at Sectional Tourney

Town Team Baseball

Tigers Win Second Straight, Host Two This Weekend

by Brett Kruschke & Matt Schultz After starting the season 0-4, the Tigertown Express has out-scored its opponents 19-3 across a pair of wins. The latest triumph was a 7-1 decision over the Shakopee Coyotes last Wednesday (May 24).

Another state tournament team is headed for Tiger Park as former River Valley League foe, the Waconia Lakers, will visit Belle Plaine Friday (June 2, 7:30 p.m.).

Sunday – graduation day at Belle Plaine High School – the Tigers will move to the front of the class by hosting Fairfax at a special noon start time. See

you at the ballpark.

Tigers 7, Shakopee Coyotes 1 Shakopee’s Class C team, the Coyotes, came to town for the final scheduled game of the month. Although the DakotaRice-Scott League member is off to a rough start this season and was without the managerial wizardry of Dick Steinhoff, the Coyotes have made back-toback state tournament appearances.

Wes Sarsland started on the mound for Belle Plaine and picked up where he left off in Fairfax, throwing five innings of shutout baseball. Mitchel

Stier came on in relief and worked three innings, giving up the lone Shakopee run thanks to working out of a big jam. Johnny Vinkemeier tossed a scoreless ninth to seal the impressive victory.

Belle Plaine scored four runs in the first inning with 10 men batting. The Tigers also scored one run in the second inning and two in the eighth.

El Tigre pounded out 10 hits, with Luke Narveson leading the way with three singles in the victory. Aiden Ladd tallied two hits while Vinkemeier went 1-for-3 with a walk, run and RBI.

Although it isn’t the way the Tigers wanted to wrap up the regular season, the BPHS baseball team will carry the top seed into the Section 2AA baseball tournament this week.

Tournament play began yesterday (May 30), after the Herald went to press. Top-seeded Belle Plaine (15-2) opened post-season play against Blue Earth Area (No. 8 seed, 9-11).

If Belle Plaine won yesterday, they’ll face the winner of the Le Sueur-Henderson (No. 4 seed, 11-9) vs. Lake CrystalWellcome Memorial (No. 12, 8-12) game tomorrow (June 1, 5 p.m.) at Tiger Park. If Blue Earth Area upset the Tigers, they’ll host the loser of that tilt tomorrow at 5 p.m.

The section tournament will conclude next Thursday (June 8, 5 p.m.) at Veterans’ Field in St. Peter.

the May 24 game.

The host Spartans built a 5-0 lead by scoring three times in the third inning. They added two runs more insurance runs in the sixth.

“Jared Miller started the game on the mound and looked great the first two innings but ran into a little trouble in the third,” said coach Pat Schultz.

A couple of walks and hits, exacerbated by defensive breakdowns, gave Rocori the lead. After Carsen Ladd and Jon Schmidt threw scoreless innings in the fourth and fifth, the Spartans reignited their offense in the sixth, using three hits to score two more runs.

The Tigers finally got their offense going in the seventh.

Tyler O’Brien ripped a triple.

He eventually scored on Ladd’s two-base hit. Ladd scored BPHS’s second run on a sacrifice fly.

Rocori 5, Tigers 4 Jared Miller and Dylan SchuBelle Plaine offered a last- macher walked before Alec ditch effort, clawing its way Ruud and Jake Mercado drove back from a 5-0 deficit with runs in to cut Rocori’s lead to four runs in the final inning of

one with the bases loaded. But the offense stalled. The Tigers left the bases load and stranded a dozen runners in the game.

O’Brien, Ladd, Nathan Herman, Ruud, and Andrew Hunsader all had hit for the Tigers.

“We had chances early to score and to have a big inning but never got the big hit,” Schultz said. “Our pitchers worked hard to keep it close and give us a chance. We finally broke through, but couldn’t do enough to overcome the sloppy play early in the game. Rocori is a good team and we need to take advantage of opportunities and do what it takes to push runs across when we have a chance.”

Schultz is hoping the Tigers remember and learn from the lessons of the Tigers’ second setback into the section tournament.

“This was a good game to show us we can play with good teams, but (we) just need to be ready to go from the start,” he said.

H.S. Track

Tigers Advance to Sectional Finale Saturday in Mankato Thanks to several solid performances, Belle Plaine High School’s girls’ and boys’ track and field teams will be well represented at Saturday’s (June 3, 9:30 a.m.) section finale at Mankato West High School.

The TCU School Board is considering promoting the three club activities to formally recognized school activities, a move that would bring more funding, formal recognition and fees for team members to the programs, the Le Center Leader recently reported. The school board, which represents residents of Montgomery, Le Center, Lonsdale and area townships, recently discussed the proposal

to elevate the activities’ status during a workshop.

The school’s robotics team recently competed its third season. It may opt to compete in Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) events or continue to compete in Vex Robotics-sponsored events.

Elevating cheerleading could potentially expand it from participation at football games to cheering at other contests in the years to come. The school board could also decide to approve competition in cheerleading competitions. Cheerleading is an MSHSL-sanctioned activity.

Weightlifting is not sanctioned

by the MSHSL. TCU has had a weightlifting club for three seasons. The cost of the program is minimal since athletes transport themselves to events.

TCU Activities Director Jason Myhre said cheerleading, robotics and weightlifting align with the district’s educational goals.

Elevating the programs to activity status would cost the district about $4,400. That amount includes fees participants in the three groups would pay as participants in school-sponsored activities.

Currently, the district’s primary expense for each of the activities is an adviser.

RS Fiber Ready to Begin Final Stage of City Network Having already brought fiber optic communications to Green Isle and four other Sibley County cities, RS Fiber will begin installing the final stage of its network next month.

RS Fiber will be installing fiber optic lines to customers in Buffalo Lake, Brownton, Fairfax and Stewart. They will join

about 1,100 customers in Green Isle, Gaylord, Gibbon, New Auburn and Winthrop in Sibley County and Lafayette in Nicollet County as cities with fiber optic TV, Internet and telephone services via RS Fiber.

Once the fiber optic lines are established in the cities, de-

livery of fiber optic services will turn to the Sibley County townships that have agreed to participate in the program. RS Fiber plans to use a network of 13 towers to serve rural customers. That work is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
