Belle Plaine, Scott County, Area Voters Trump Clinton’s Hope Dahle, Vogel Agree: People Wanted ‘Change’

Joining the tidal wave of GOP support for Donald Trump and running mate Mike Pence that washed across the Midwest and Minnesota, Belle Plaine and the neighboring communities backed Republicans across the board in Tuesday’s election. Turning out in huge numbers, a volume likely fueled by new

opportunities to cast ballots before election day, over 89 percent of the 3,757 voters eligible to vote in Belle Plaine cast ballots. Over 91½ percent of the 82,457 eligible voters throughout Scott County cast ballots in the 2016 election. Voters in Belle Plaine and the surrounding area backed Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton in large numbers. He beat Clinton in Belle Plaine by more than a 2-to-1 margin, 2,034 to 1,005. Across Scott County, voters

Albert’s longtime girlfriend, Rosie Alvarez (Hannah Burmeister), persuades Albert to write a farewell song for the star to sing to one lucky fan chosen at random. When Albert, Rose, and Conrad travel to Sweet Apple, Ohio to bid farewell to fan club member Kim MacAfee (Rachel Fahey) and the rest of America, chaos ensues. They didn’t count on a jealous boyfriend, Kim’s crazy family, or Albert’s overbearing mother to get in their way. About 60 students tried out for

The musical is set in 1958, the year after Elvis Presley was drafted into the U.S. Army. Famous rock and roll star Conrad Birdie (played by Zak Hughes) is called to serve. His devoted fans are heartbroken. Even more devastated is Albert Peterson (Mikkel Schmidt), Conrad’s manager.

by Dan Ruud Three of the five seats on the Belle Plaine City Council will have different people sitting in them when the first regular meeting of 2017 takes place on Monday, Jan. 2. Four years after being elected mayor over incumbent Tim Lies, Mike Pingalore’s bid for a third two-year term was blocked last Tuesday by a large contingent of Chris Meyer supporters in what was a near record election turnout for Belle Plaine. According to Belle Plaine Finance Director and head election official Dawn Meyer, 2,992 voted at Belle Plaine City Hall last Tuesday, which was 79 percent of the city’s registered voters as of 7 a.m. that day. The voter turnout at city hall did not take into account absentee and other early voters from Belle Plaine in the weeks leading up to election day, which combined with election day, totalled 3,371 votes cast by Belle Plaine (city) voters, which is an impressive 89 percent of those registered. Meyer said there were 403 new registrations at city hall last Tuesday. The record for votes cast “in Belle Plaine” was set in the 2012 presidential election when 3,313 voted at city hall. Nearly 64 percent of Belle Plaine voters marked in Meyer to be the next mayor (2,053 votes to 1,148 for Pingalore). There were 17 write-ins. “I was amazed at the voter turnout,” said Meyer, whose father, Gerry Meyer, served several terms as Belle Plaine’s mayor in the 1990s. “It was great to see all the people take the time to make their voices

The service is sponsored by the congregations of Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic, St. John Lutheran, First Presbyterian, Redeemer Lutheran, St. John’s Assumption, River Rock Chris-

tian and West Union Lutheran. The community is welcome to attend. The Thanksgiving worship is also intended to remember the needs of others. A monetary offering will be accepted during the service to support the local Good Samaritan Fund, which provides help for transient people in the area. This fund

is supported by participating churches and the Thanksgiving offering is the main source of annual income for this fund. In addition, worshipers are encouraged to bring nonperishable food items to be donated to the Belle Plaine Food Shelf. Monetary donations are also welcome. Checks can be made out to the Belle Plaine Food Shelf.

Belle Plaine Police Sponsoring Annual Holiday Toy Drive The Belle Plaine Police Department and the Girl Scouts are sponsoring the third annual toy drive for needy local families and children. The drive runs Nov. 27 through Dec. 19, 5 p.m. Last year, the Belle Plaine community donated over 300 toys. All toys should be new and unwrapped. Gifts are accepted for children up 16 years of age. Realistic looking toy weapons

and gifts with food, if donated, will not be distributed. Families in need of toys can come to the police department between Dec. 13th through Dec. 23 to pick out toys. Recommended gifts for preteens and teens include sporting equipment, board games, books, hand-held electronics and similar items. The drop-off locations will be at Belle Plaine City Government Center (during business hours), Coborn’s

grocery store (during business hours), Oak Crest and Chatfield elementary schools, Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School and the Belle Plaine Police Department (24 hours). For more information, call the police department, 8734307.

Members of the Belle Plaine Rotary Club and Boy Scouts assembled the community Nativity Scene at its new location Saturday morning.

Nativity Scene Has New Home by Dan Ruud As they have done for decades, members of the Belle Plaine Rotary Club and Boy Scouts were out in force Saturday morning putting up the community Nativity Scene for the 2016 holiday period. But you won’t find it at its usual location for the past sev-

eral decades – on the police department property just off East Main Street. Instead, it’s situated a couple of blocks further east on the street on the grounds of JD’s Auto Service, adjacent to the fire department. According to Rotary Club member Fred Keup, who has helped oversee the Nativity

Scene project for many years (it started in 1951), the decision to relocate the scene from city-owned property to private ground stems from the objections that were voiced last holiday season by members of the

Cologne’s Kahle Joins Family in Minnesota Music Hall of Fame

Honoring Veterans and Their Service

Like the rest of the state and country, Belle Plaine honored veterans Friday (Nov, 11). Above, Lt. Col. Margaret McCue Morrison (U.S. Army, retired) reminded students and community members at Friday’s Veterans Day ceremony at Oak Crest Elementary School about the service and sacrifices of men and women serving in America’s armed forces. Below, Lt. Col. David Thompson (U.S. Army, retired) recalled the men and women he served with during his military service. Thompson, the police chief with the Howard Lake, Minn. Police Department, was the guest speaker at A Veteran’s Day dinner at the Vets Club Friday evening.

He stopped to think about the notion that like his father, Ivan, Jerry Kahle was now a member of the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame. The idea pleased him for it was his dad who gave Jerry his first spot in the band more than 50 years earlier. “I think he’d be proud of me,” Jerry Kahle said. Kahle, a rural Cologne resident, was recently inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame at a ceremony in New Ulm. It is the hall’s 28th class of inductees. Ivan Kahle was inducted posthumously in 2002. Ivan joined his nephews, Roman and Fred. They were inducted in 1998. Jerry Kahle is 74. He’s been playing various instruments – trumpets, alto and tenor saxophones, clarinet, trombone and more -- since he was a boy growing up on the family farm between Norwood Young America and Gotha, about four miles south of Cologne in Carver County. He’s also played rhythm guitar, banjo and even dabbled with a wind-synthesizer tuba, a small, digital electronic instrument that replicates the sound of a tuba. He owns a half-dozen saxophones, four altos and two tenors. He lost two Mark 5 saxophones that were lost in a house fire back in 1983. Kahle shakes his head thinking about them. They’re worth as much as $8,000 used. He wouldn’t even have to clean them up. “They could look like an old spittoon and they’d still sound great,” he said. The induction is a recognition of years of performing and contributions to the state’s music industry. The Minnesota Music Hall of Fame is filled with dozens of performers, most of which performed in smalltown ballrooms in the 1930s, ’40, ‘50s, ‘60s and beyond, far from the bright lights of the big city. Its ranks include Bob Dylan, Judy Garland, Bobby Vee, Johnny Holm, Big Walter Smith, The Governaires, Lamont Cranston, the Minnesota Orchestra, Lori Line, Mick Sterling, and Prince. Along with Kahle, 2016’s inductees include Garrison Keillor, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Rick Kvam, Tonic Sol Fa, and the Teddy Bear Band.

His First Gig

Jerry was 17 when Ivan decided he was ready to play with the band. He recalls being nervous but took comfort in knowing he wouldn’t be playing if his A color guard of Belle Plaine veterans opened the ceremony Friday with a procession of the father didn’t have confidence American and state flags.

Deaths

Robert â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobâ&#x20AC;? Wermerskirchen Robert â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobâ&#x20AC;? Wermerskirchen, 75, of Jordan, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Wednesday, November 9, 2016. A visitation was held on Monday, November 14 from 4-7 p.m. at Ballard-Sunder Funeral Home, 104 1st St. W, Jordan. Mass of Christian Burial was on Tuesday, November 15 at 11 a.m. with a visitation one hour prior at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 313 2nd St. E, Jordan. Bob was laid to rest at Calvary Cemetery. Father Timothy Yanta presided. Pallbearers will be Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandchildren, Clint Considine, Jordan Wolfswinkel, Justin Wolfswinkel, Cole Wolfswinkel, Abby Wolfswinkel, Brody Considine and Kaley Jo Considine. Honorary pallbearers will be Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s godchildren, Betty McAndrews, Bonnie Parker, Nikki Anderson, Craig Wermerskirchen, Jason McAndrews and Danny Fox. On January 16, 1941 in Shakopee, Roman and Ruth (Lagerstrom) Wermerskirchen celebrated the birth of their son, Robert Allen Wermerskirchen. Bob was the oldest of eight children. Growing up on the family dairy farm, Bob learned the value of hard work. During high school, Bob was nationally honored for his participation in FFA and 4-H. His love of farming and 4-H carried over throughout his life. During his junior year, his father broke his neck and Bob made the difďŹ cult decision to temporarily leave school to work on the farm. After Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school graduation in 1960, he enlisted in the Army reserves and then continued to farm. In October of 1965, Bob married Gloria Anderson and became parents to Dawn, Denise and Dale. After 13 years, Bob and Gloria parted ways. Bob later married Julie Grommesch, and they raised four more children together, Kyle, Megan, Holly and Amber. As a father, Bob was always supportive and involved. Bob ensured his children had the opportunity to experience farm life as he had. Bob spent many years operating two large dairy farms as a partner with his parents. Later, he made a smooth transition from cows to pigs and then eventually a small hobby farm. Bob was incredibly proud that his children and eventually grandchildren were members of 4-H. Bob was not only committed to his family, but to his community and his faith. Just like his father, Bob enjoyed being a member of the county fair board. He was also a member of the National Farmers Organization, the Jaycees and the Knights of Columbus. Bob loved coordinating hog roasts for weddings and community events. Throughout the years, he owned a landscaping business, as well as worked for Peterson Seed Company. After retiring, Bob found a very rewarding position as a driver for special needs children with Anderson Bus Company in Shakopee. Bob was a big hearted, humble man who taught everyone that when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing something you love, people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell if

line. Stern added a 7-yard TD run, and although the two-point attempt failed, the Crusaders were back on top 19-14 with 5:20 left in the third quarter. The Tigers were stopped on their next possession and a booming punt by Nathan Herman drove the Crusaders back to their 9 yard line. From there, however, they iced the game with a 91-yard TD drive, with Stern covering the final 3 yards. The extra-point kick made it 26-14 with 10:43 left in the game. Belle Plaine, not ready to throw in the towel, responded quickly with a scoring drive of its own, with Ladd hooking up with Curtiss in the end zone from 12 yards out. With Yattaw’s extra-point kick, the Tigers were back to within five points (26-21) with 8:15 still left to play. But Belle Plaine had no answer for St. Croix’s running game, which grew more relentless as the game went on. The Crusaders consumed almost six of the remaining eight minutes left in the game with a 65-yard march that ended on Stern’s fourth TD of the game to make it 32-21, and that’s where things would stand. “I am extremely proud of the effort our kids gave on Saturday afternoon,” said Belle Plaine coach Justin Johnston. “We gave ourselves a chance to knock off the number one team in the state and that was due to great effort and commitment from our kids. Anytime you get to a state tournament, it is a great year – the disappointment in the kids’ faces shows that we have higher expectations as a football program going forward, and I think that is outstanding. I just have to thank the seniors for their time, effort and commitment to making this a great year and to the parents, students and community for their support.” Ladd, who will be back for his senior season next year, completed 8 of 17 passes for 269 yards and three TDs. He had no interceptions. Schmidt’s two long touchdown catches accounted for 160 of those yards, while Curtiss had three catches for 79 yards and one TD. Marcus Walsh added two catches for 20 yards and Matt Nelson one for 10 yards. The Tigers, who rushed for only 46 yards, were led in that department by Walsh with 14 carries for 33 yards. Ladd kept 10 times for 13 yards. Ruud, who led Belle Plaine in tackles all season long, was in on 28 in what was his final high school game. Nelson had eight, followed by Brandon Heitz and

Jack Larson both with seven. Herman and Riley Gronbeck had six apiece. Playing their final high school football game for Belle Plaine Saturday (in order listed on the roster) were seniors Nathan Herman, Jon Schmidt, Noah Ellingsworth, Matt Nelson, Brody Curtiss, Alec Ruud, Jared Miller, Jack Larson, Mason Ponath, Brandon Heitz and John Glynn. St. Croix Lutheran, 11-0, will meet defending state champion Pierz (10-1) in this Saturday’s semifinals at U.S. Bank Stadium. The other Class 3A semifinal will pit Rochester Lourdes (11-0) against Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton (11-1).

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Thirty Years Ago This Week

$6,163,028.40. Ernst Meierbachtol was the victim of a hunting accident right at home. He was in a nearby woods when a number of shots from his companion’s gun struck him in the face. The X-ray revealed ﬁve shots penetrated the skin. While the accident was rather a close call, Ernst suffered no ill effects. The Belle Plaine High School football boys were sumptuously entertained at the Eugene Sullivan home near St. Thomas. Speeches were given by the faculty members, the captains and senior boys.

120 Years Ago (1896)

Moving Out Firefighters pictured on their way out of the old fire department building in 1986 with gear in hand to relocate to their new $300,000 facility were, from left, Fred Keup, Vern Nyblom, Bob Hartman and Erv Herrmann. Vandalism and theft had always been a problem in Belle Plaine, but especially so in recent weeks. Belle Plaine Police Chief Steve Rost said there were many reports of vehicle damage, including slashed tires, scraped paint, broken radio antennas and vandalized gas tanks to name a few. “It (vandalism) seems to get worse as times get worse,” Rost said. He added that thefts were also on the increase, including at Keup Motors where car keys and two used pickup trucks and a car were taken. Other businesses and residences were experiencing similar problems. Southern Minnesota residents, including Belle Plaine, awoke on Tuesday, Nov. 18 to almost 4 inches of snow. It was the first “real” snowfall of the season. Belle Plaine’s annual Community Thanksgiving Service would be held Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 27) at the Belle Plaine High School auditorium. Mayor Francis Schuman would read the Presidential Proclamation. Sally Halbmaier would be the accompanist and Eileen Effertz the soloist. Rev. Eugene Boschee of St. John’s Lutheran Church would welcome those present and lead the Invocation. In order to make a smoother transition in January when he would take over the office of Scott County attorney from Kathleen Morris, County Attorney-elect James Terwedo requested that the county provide him with office space in the county courthouse, clerical services and temporary professional help. “We can’t just jump in Jan. 6 without knowing what’s going on,” Terwedo told the county board. The board agreed with Terwedo’s requests and commended him on his efforts to make a smooth transition. It wouldn’t be just an “evening” of fun Belle Plaine High School’s junior-senior prom that year. Instead, it would be a whole “night” of fun as plans were being made for an allnight party. A group of parents met that Thursday and laid the groundwork for the party to be held at the school after prom, the latter of which was to take place at Hazeltine Golf Club in Chaska. Many surrounding communities like Jordan, Shakopee, Chaska and Prior Lake had been having very popular and successful all-night parties of their own. Senior running back Jeff Bruder was the lone Tiger named to the 1986 all-conference football team, which finished the season in seventh place with a conference record of 2-5. He also played defense and punted.

Receiving honorable mention for Belle Plaine were Andy Fogarty and Scott Hennen. The BPHS volleyball team placed three on the all-conference team – senior setter Julie Halquist, junior hitter Deb Zabel and junior digger Corinne Gransee. Robyn Denny was honorable mention. Forty-one girls in grades 9-12 (the most in school history up to that time) reported to girls’ basketball practice that week. Doug Anderson was head coach of the varsity team.

60 Years Ago (1956)

Aaron G. Will, 38, nephew of August Will of Belle Plaine, was victim of a freakish highway accident near Prior Lake. Coroner H.M. Juergens, Belle Plaine, stated that the Will car apparently spun on ice and threw the driver out against a 5-foot bank of snow, then the car backed up in its spin and pushed the victim into the bank. Louis A. Pexa, prominent Montgomery pharmacist and businessman, died. He owned and operated the Pexa drug store in Montgomery. Grand champion winners at the Poultry Show held in the Bleichner building were Nick Lambrecht, Jordan; Rev. John Meicher, Benton Township; Louis Melchert, Benton Township; and Leonard Farrell, Belle Plaine. Miss Marilyn Schmidt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward E. Schmidt, became the bride of Roger Devine, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Devine. Robert Berger, 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Berger, spent the weekend in Chicago, courtesy of the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch. He won a free trip by getting 39 newspaper customers. B.A. Herzog, superintendent of schools for Scott County for quite a number of years, tendered his resignation due to poor health. The ﬁrst touch of winter came Nov. 15 with a drop in temperature to a midnight low of 17 degrees and an inch or two of snow. Mrs. Margaret Sullivan, widow of the late Jerry Sullivan of Derrynane Township, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ray Lucas, in Jordan. She was 75 years old. Mrs. Leon Hennes, mother of three small children, died unexpectedly at University Hospital. She was 38 years old. Mrs. Margaret Taylor, wife of Leslie M. Taylor of the Herald staff, died at the New Prague hospital. She was 47 years old.

Frank Hilgers, well known throughout this area as a high school athletic coach from 1928 to 1934 at New Prague, and then coached Jordan, died at the age of 58. The annual junior class play drew a splendid audience who enjoyed every bit of the excellent comedy, “January Thaw.” Cast members were John Ploetz, Prudy Taylor, Jeanette Westphal, Winn Ann Zaun, Sharon Wilson, Andy Johnson, Myrna Westphal, Roger Hoelz, Eileen Harsh, Joe Albrecht, Joe Schuman, Jim Buesgens and Larry Hartman. The children’s story hour sponsored by the local P.T.A. unit entered its sixth week of operation. Thirty-one preschool youngsters were registered under the supervision of Mrs. George Hoelz and Mrs. Melvin Redman. The Evangelical and Reformed Church of Hamburg conducted a pleasant ceremony – the burning of the last note of indebtedness against the building. The structure was completed in 1949 at a cost of $79,000. Mrs. Elizabeth Breeggemann, 75, of Shakopee, was a trafﬁc victim near her home. She was struck by a car while walking across the 169 highway.

90 Years Ago (1926)

Henry H. Sisterman was the new owner of our State theater. It was purchased from L.E. Heitzig. Mrs. Dan Conlin showed improvement at St. Joseph’s Hospital, St. Paul, from burns she received from a kerosene explosion in her home. Joe Stradcutter made quite a change in his place of business. He discontinued the restaurant business and started to serve lunches only. He removed all the tables and added two large lunch counters. At St. John’s Catholic Church, Union Hill, took place the wedding of Miss Angela Mary Busch and Stephen H. Huss. Following the wedding, a big reception was held at the John Huss home. Frank Kilduff led Minnesota in personal insurance sales and received a 12-pound turkey and cash award. The O.F. Hearing family of Belle Plaine was the highest agency in the state and received a 12-pound turkey. The biggest public school “melon” in the history of Minnesota was sliced that week when Ray P. Chase, state auditor, afﬁxed his signature to warrants covering annual supplemental school aid. The warrants represented a total of

The firemen gave a Thanksgiving Eve dance. There was neither good sleighing or wheeling. A little more snow was the general cry. Jas. Corcoran was confined to his home for a number of days on account of injuries received when his team ran away. Miss Esther Cole had gone to Granite Falls for a two-month stay with her sister. The Ladies Aid of the Presbyterian Church announced an oyster supper for 35 cents. The marriage of Henry Stopplemann of Blakeley and Miss Frederic Sass of Jordan took place at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sass, Rev. F. Maser of Belle Plaine officiating.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, My side won last week. Not in the Tuesday election but on Thursday when Obama received Trump at the White House. Obama demonstrated how this country can heal. Trump was received with hospitality and grace. Radical hospitality is the spiritual practice we are most in need of. Grace is absolutely rare in my world. If the broken heart of this world is to be healed we must behave exactly as the now soon-to-beex-president did on Thursday. Practice hospitality to all we meet as we were taught by our Savior. Live a life as grace full as we can manage. Larry Kiewel Belle Plaine, MN

Dear Editor, I would like to express my gratitude to the people of Belle Plaine for re-electing me to my sixth term on the city council. I am looking forward to working with Chris Meyer, Ben Stier, Paul Chard, and Theresa McDaniel on issues of economic development and enhancing our quality of life. I would also like to express my gratitude to outgoing council members Henry Pressley, Mike Pingalore, and Gary Trost. They have dedicated years of their lives to Belle Plaine and we should all be proud of their service. Sincerely, Cary Coop Member, Belle Plaine City Council

State Parks to be Free Day After Thanksgiving Minnesota Lt. Gov. Tina Smith has announced there will be another Free Park Friday over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. All 75 Minnesota state parks and recreation areas will be waived on Friday, Nov. 25. “In my travels around Minnesota, I visit Minnesota state parks and recreation areas as often as I can,” she said. “We have one of the ﬁnest park and trail systems in the country, and spending time in nature is the best way I know to get some

exercise, relax and refresh with family and friends. I want as many Minnesotans as possible to enjoy a free day in the parks after Thanksgiving.” This year marks the 125th anniversary of the Minnesota state parks and trails system and record crowds have been showing up. Through September, oneday parks and trails permit sales were up 6 percent, year-round permit sales were up 8 percent and overnight stays were up 6 percent over last year, according to the Department of Natural Resources.

Ask A Trooper by Sgt. Troy Christianson of the Minnesota State Patrol Question: What is the procedure if I hit a deer with my vehicle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can I keep it? Answer: The Minnesota State Patrol does issue permits for road-kill deer generally right at the time of the crash or soon after. Any Minnesota resident may claim a road-killed animal by contacting a law enforcement ofďŹ cer. An authorization permit can be issued, allowing the individual to lawfully possess the animal. For your speciďŹ c request, I

would advise you to contact the Department of Natural Resources (DNR.) You can contact the Conservation OfďŹ cer in the area you are closest to or where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want to pick up the road kill. They should be able to provide more information on the permits and this process. If you have any questions concerning trafďŹ c-related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester, MN 55901-5848. You can also reach him at, Troy. Christianson@state.mn.us.

Cologne Lions Present 92 Dictionaries to Area Students Last month, the Cologne Lions presented all third-graders at Cologne Academy and Zion Lutheran schools 92 dictionaries. This is a project that Lions all over the nation conduct. A dictionary is perhaps the ďŹ rst and most powerful reference tool that a child should own, said Lion Charlotte Sandeen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its usefulness goes beyond the spellings and deďŹ nitions. It is a companion for solving problems that arise as a child develops his or her reading, writing and creative thinking abilities,â&#x20AC;? she said. While presenting students at

the charter school and parochial school their dictionaries, the Lions tell the students about the things that the community service group performs in town, things the children can relate to like Glad days celebration, Christmas in the Park, and the Leos Reading in the Park events during the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than words and definitions, there is so much more to discover, Sandeen said.â&#x20AC;? Funding for the dictionaries comes from money raised during Cologne Glad Days, Octoberfest and other Lions activities.

Mayer Lutheran, which ďŹ nished third in the Minnesota River Conference behind champion Belle Plaine and runner-up Jordan this season, wrapped up an impressive postseason run with a state Class 1A championship at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul last week. The Crusaders, who defeated defending state titleholder Waterville-Elysian-Morristown in the Section 2A championship, beat Stephen-Argyle Central 3-0, Heritage Christian Academy 3-2 and Caledonia 3-1 at the state tournament to earn its ďŹ rst state volleyball title in 34 years. Mayer Lutheran will return all four of its all-conference players next season. Meanwhile, Kenyon-Wanamingo, which defeated Belle Plaine 3-1 in the Section 2AA championship on the same ďŹ&#x201A;oor (MSU) and night Mayer Lutheran beat WEM, was the No. 1 seed in the state Class 2A tournament but was defeated by Concordia Academy 3-2 in the semiďŹ nals before going on to beat Kasson-Mantorville for third place. Concordia Academy was swept by Maple Lake in the championship. Eagan defeated Champlin Park 3-1 to win its third Class 3A title in four years.

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.

City Election heard on all levels of government. “As far as the mayor’s race, I was very humbled and also very excited by the vote totals,” Meyer continued. “Many people encouraged me as I made this decision (to run for mayor) and also throughout the campaign journey. I look forward to continuing to move Belle Plaine forward.” Joining Meyer on the newlook city council will be Ben Stier and Theresa McDaniel, along with incumbents Cary Coop and Paul Chard, the latter of whom’s seat was not up for election this year. Stier was easily the top votegetter in a four-way race for two four-year terms, in which voters could vote for up to two candidates. Stier received 2,083 votes, while Coop was second with 1,181. Incumbent Henry Pressley Jr. was 77 votes short of keeping his seat on the council with 1,104. The fourth candidate, Nickole Shetka, got 835 votes. There were 27 write-ins. Meanwhile, incumbent Gary Trost, a veteran of the city council for nearly two decades, was defeated for the one twoyear term on the council by challenger McDaniel in what was the closest race on the local ballot. McDaniel harvested 1,506 votes, 18 more than Trost’s 1,488. There were 12 write-ins. Stier served on the Belle Plaine Fire Department for 16 years and is a member of the city’s park board. He’s also been active with the local historical

society and other community endeavors. He stated during the campaign that, “I feel the city council is the next step in serving my community.” Stier has also expressed considerable support for an improved swimming pool complex. McDaniel was a longtime business owner in Belle Plaine as well as a government employee for Scott County for a number of years. “Having owned a business in Belle Plaine for 26 years, I actually have felt the impact of the lack of a business climate in Belle Plaine. We need to have a better understanding as to why Belle Plaine always seems to be overlooked when it comes to businesses locating here and focus on improving that first,” McDaniel stated during her campaign. “With Ben and Theresa also getting elected, I am certain that there will be many new ideas and a different way in certain areas to govern our fine city,” Meyer said. “A big part of my plan is to engage and get people involved. I want to work hand-in-hand with many of our fine service organizations and church groups since many projects overlap – and there is a wonderful knowledge and volunteer base to utilize.” Coop, the only incumbent with a seat up for election this year to gain another term, has been the council’s liaison on the park board for a number of years and has always been a big proponent of growing and improving the city’s parks and

trails, etc. Pingalore, who opted to run for mayor two years into his first four-year term on the council, edged Lies for the mayoral seat 1,601 votes to 1,457 in 2012. Pingalore was uncontested in 2014. “I tip my hat to Mayor Pingalore for his past work and also for the challenging campaign that he put on and wish him well moving forward,” Meyer said. “Belle Plaine has always been a great place to call home – we just have to continue to keep it safe and provide the needed services and amenities that our community deserves. I have served this city in many different capacities, from fire chief to EDA director and many things in between. I now look to this opportunity as mayor to continue my contributions and commitment.” Mayor Pingalore’s Post-Election Statement “I cannot put into words the appreciation I have for those who have supported my efforts the last six years and allowing me to represent this great city of Belle Plaine,” Pingalore stated. “The last four years as your mayor has been one of my greatest experiences. ‘Building Belle Plaine for the Future,’ your safety and quality of living were my priorities over this time. “Through our team’s hard work, we will be able to enjoy many amenities and upgrades to our community for years to come. There will be more in the near future that I will continue to work on until my last day in office. “Understandably, everyone did not like all the decisions we made; city government is more difficult than you think. It is not a business, you can-

not have personal agendas. It truly is about all of you – the citizens. I am hopeful that the next council will understand this. I encourage every voting citizen to follow city politics and the reasons behind the difﬁcult decisions councils make. It is important! “I want to thank every department head, city staffer and the council for their hard work. They are the backbone to making our city prosper throughout these years, which laid a foundation for future development. I also want to thank my wife, Tina, and my three children – Jake, Ella and Grace – for allowing me to have many late Monday nights for council and committee meetings.”

(continued from page 1) Freedom From Religion Foundation. That foundation used its First Amendment right to place a banner of its own next to the Nativity Scene that read: At this season of the Winter Solstice, let reason prevail. There are no Gods, no devils, no angles, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is but a myth & superstition that hardens hearts & enslaves minds. The banner was stolen a short time after its placement before being returned and then stolen again. Citizen Melissa Saxe had used the public forum at a Belle Plaine City Council meeting to voice her disappointment in the city’s approval for another citizen to place an anti-religion banner next to the Rotary Club’s Nativity Scene located on the police department grounds. At the advice of City Attorney Bob Vose, a local citizen was given permission to place the banner adjacent to the Nativity Scene based on First Amendment rights. While helping set up the scene at JD’s Auto Service Saturday morning, Keup said the decision to relocate the banner was that of the Rotary Club, not the city. He added that the consensus of the club was that it “just didn’t want anymore problems.” Keup said at least two other property owners offered sites for the Nativity Scene, but the Rotary elected to go with Jon Dvorak’s (owner of JD’s Auto Service) offer not only because of the site’s visibility from East Main Street, but because of a nearby power pole that can be the hitching post for a ﬂoodlight or two to better illuminate the scene at night. Following the posting of a photo on the Herald’s Facebook page of the Rotary at work Saturday, about two dozen comments were received about the relocation of the Nativity Scene, most of which were supportive of moving it and thankful that the Nativity Scene’s future is as bright as ever. Many were also

appreciative of Dvorak’s offering of the property. Some of the posts were: I’m happy they have a new spot for it! I was so sad about what happened last year. Very sad that it has to be moved, but I’m glad that it will continue to be a CHRISTmas fixture in our community! I am okay as long as it remains a tradition somewhere in our community. If this ever stops... sad day for us all. Our Savior’s Birth happened in a lowly Manger. Where we place His Memorial Statuettes is irrelevant. HE. IS. EVERYWHERE! Thank You Rotary! Thank you for continuing the tradition! You rock JD! Wherever in Belle Plaine, this still brings happiness! Thank You JD!! People who complain that religious traditions, or saying Merry Christmas infringes on their rights, don’t stop to think that they are infringing on My rights. This goes for all the marches and etc. going on with this election. Everyone has their own opinion, and we should all respect each others. How come a government center can’t put up a Nativity set, yet a political election poll can be at a church? Why is it such an issue it had to be moved? Lol, you still have your precious scene to admire a block or two over. I will definitely miss seeing it out my window. But so glad it just moved down the street:) Thanks JD God’s Blessings to you for keeping Jesus in all of our Christmas. Actually it stands out more in it’s new location! God works in mysterious ways :) Thank you Rotary Club and JD’s Auto Service! In the fall of 1951, Leo Albrecht Sr., with the support of a group of local businessmen, designed the community Nativity Scene on quarter-inch marine plywood. Sixty-five years later, it is still a part of Belle Plaine’s holiday season.

Thank you As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually: family members, friends, neighbors and strangers, please accept our heartfelt appreciation during our loss of our beloved Mark & Travis Hentges. The support our family has received is unbelievable and we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for the gifts, food, flowers, cards filled with kind words as well as those spoken to us directly, support on the farm and out at the cemetery. Everyone has been wonderful and we really appreciate it. Mark and Travis would be proud and overwhelmed with all of all the support we are receiving. Special thanks to Ballard Sunder Funeral home, who were amazing! In addition our heartfelt thanks to Belle Plaine and Jordan Fire Departments, Scott County Sheriffs, Jordan and Chaska Police, Allina Ambulance and first responders, North Memorial Air Medic, LifeSource and HCMC. There are absolutely no words to express how we are feeling, but THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT TO OUR FAMILY. We live in a world full of generous people and one that I am glad all my children got to know. Thank you so much. Travis and Mark you will both be greatly missed by your loving family. Renee, Tim, Sara, Emmitt, Tom, Sam and Trevor Hentges

Lutheran, which finished third in the MRC behind Belle Plaine and Jordan before going on to capture the state Class 1A championship in St. Paul last week, had four players named All-Conference, while Jordan had three. Norwood Young America had two, followed by Sibley East, Tri-City United and Le Sueur-Henderson with one apiece. Hayden, an outside hitter, used her explosive hits and aggressive topspin jump serve to lead the Tigers in kills and ace

serves the past two seasons. With six years competing at the varsity level, she amassed well over 2,000 kills and over 300 ace serves in her career. She has received numerous volleyball awards during her impressive high school career and led the state in kills the past two seasons. She will continue playing volleyball at UNLV next year. Her parents are Justin and Amy Johnston, Dave Hennen and Frances Hennen. Conference

Belle Plaine Gets Worn Down by St. Croix Lutheran by Dan Ruud Three touchdown passes by junior quarterback Carsen Ladd, including two bombs to senior wide receiver Jon Schmidt, were not enough to offset St. Croix Lutheran’s potent ground game as the unbeaten Crusaders defeated the Tigers 32-21 in the state Class 3A quarterfinals Saturday afternoon at Lakeville North High School. It marks the second year in a row that Belle Plaine qualified for the state tournament following a 22-year absence. Like last year when the Tigers were beaten in the first round in Lakeville, they finish the season with a record of 9-3. One of the culprits Saturday if you’re a Belle Plaine fan was Crusaders junior running back Mike Stern, who scored four touchdowns on runs of 2, 7, 3 and 5 yards. He and fellow running back Dan Rust combined for 230 yards rushing in the second half alone. The first three possessions of the game all ended in punts, but on the third one, St. Croix Lutheran’s punt returner dropped

the ball and Belle Plaine recovered at the Crusader 42 yard line. The Tigers were not able to take advantage of the situation and had to punt for a third time in as many possessions. On their next possession, the Crusaders fumbled and the Tigers got the ball back again in St. Croix Lutheran territory. Belle Plaine drove to the 5 yard line before stalling, and a short field goal attempt by Weston Yattaw was no good. The Crusaders then mounted an 80-yard touchdown drive that lasted half of the second quarter, with Stern covering the final 2 yards. The point-after kick made it 7-0 with 5:52 left in the second quarter. The Tigers answered with a 78-yard touchdown pass from Ladd to Schmidt, who caught the ball in stride near midfield and sprinted to the end zone. Yattaw’s point-after kick tied the score 7-7 with 4:21 left in the second quarter. St. Croix Lutheran then drove 73 yards, the final 29 of those coming on a touchdown scamper by Stephen Kletscher. The

two-point try failed and the Tigers trailed 13-7 with 30 seconds left in the first half. A long pass play from Ladd to Brody Curtiss put the Tigers inside the Crusader 20 yard line, but Ladd, looking for a receiver in the end zone, was dragged down behind the line of scrimmage on the final play of the first half. St. Croix Lutheran began the second half by driving all the way to the Belle Plaine 12 yard line only to fumble the ball away. Moments later, Ladd and Schmidt hooked up on an 82yard catch and run for a TD, almost identical to the first one as Schmidt again caught the ball in stride at the same area of the field. Yattaw tacked on the extra point and Belle Plaine led 14-13 with 7:01 left in the third quarter. The Tigers’ only lead of the game was short-lived, however, as the Crusaders responded with a 78-yard scoring drive, which was aided by a 66-yard run by Rust to the Belle Plaine 9 yard

The $5.75 million Highway 19 bridge improvement project was recently completed. The bridge over the Minnesota River at Henderson reopened Friday (Nov. 11).

Welder Winners

New Highway 19 Bridge Reopens in Henderson

Belle Plaine High School career and technical education (CTE) students recently won a $650 portable Lincoln Electric wire-feed welder from Matheson Gas Co. after a tour of Scott Equipment Co. in Arlington. Along with BPHS CTE instructor Bruce Mathiowetz, the Belle Plaine CTE students included (from left) Violet Pollock, Josh Hennes, Dominick Fogarty, Levi Work on the Highway 19 railSchmidt, Cole Corbitt, and Jason Berger of Matheson Gas. The annual tour offered CTE road bridge was completed last students a hands-on look at trade work. CTE students from Sibley East, Central (Norwood week. Barriers and detour signs were removed Friday afternoon Young America), New Prague and Jordan schools were also part of the tour on Oct. 27. (Nov. 11). Crews began working on the $5.75 million bridge replacement project May 2. Detours were put in place to reroute traffic to avoid the area. Detour routes included Highway 93 and 169. Turn lanes on Highway 93 and on Main Street in Henderson were altered so large vehicles would have an easier time making turns when going south on Highway 93. In July, effects of the detour were felt at Wagarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shell and Gas. The lack of through traf-

fic made for a slow summer at the store. However, most other businesses in Henderson said the bridge project had not made much of an impact. The Tuesday night classic car roll-ins were still successful throughout the summer and attracted many motorists to town. Excessive rain throughout the summer set crews back a bit, however, the progress still closely followed the initial timeline, which estimated a November completion date. Damage caused by ATVs during a weekend in July did not significantly set the project back despite fiber-optic lines being run over as well as dam-

age to slit fencing and nearby wetlands. Project Engineer Dan Franta worked with local authorities to prevent further damage to equipment by placing trail cameras around the construction site. The Highway 19 bridge is located east of Henderson. Constructed in 1936, the bridge had reached the end of its lifespan. Replacing the bridge was funded by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The new bridge on Highway 19 could allow for expansion of the railway. Union Pacific has considered adding two new rail lines.

vest was up 16 percent. In Zone 2, which covers the majority of the state and runs from Canada to Iowa, harvest was down 7 percent and Zone 3, in southeastern Minnesota, was down 28 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even with record-high temperatures statewide, the opening weekend harvest in Zone 1 is at least 16 percent higher than last year,â&#x20AC;? said DNR big game program leader Adam Murkowski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since these are preliminary numbers, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too soon to say if the unusual weather had any impact on harvest elsewhere in the state, but as conditions change and hunting continues, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a better sense of how the season is progressing.â&#x20AC;? Based upon the number of antlerless permits available and the number of permit areas that allow multiple deer to be taken, the DNR is projecting the 2016 total deer harvest to be between 165,000 and 185,000 deer. The 2015 total harvest was a little more than 159,000. In much of Minnesota, the deer season continues through Sunday, Nov. 13. Additional deer will be harvested during the northern rifle zone season, which continues through Sunday, Nov. 20; the late southeastern season, which runs Saturday, Nov. 19 through Sunday, Nov. 27; and the muzzleloader season, which begins Saturday, Nov. 26 and continues through Sunday, Dec. 11. The DNR strives to maintain a healthy wild deer population that offers recreational and economic opportunities, while addressing conflicts between deer, people and other natural resources. Habitat management, hunting, research and monitoring are several primary tools used to manage the Minnesota deer population. More information on deer management can be found on the deer page.
