Mn/DOT Has Big Plans for New Paving, Access to Highway 169 New Surface, Access Changes Eyed for 2017
An ambitious plan to resurface and control access to Highway 169 between Highway 19 south of Belle Plaine and Shakopee is being discussed with implementation possibly beginning with a resurfacing project currently planned for the 2017 construction season.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) is planning a $17 million resurfacing project between Belle Plaine and Jordan. The project includes at least one three-quarters access intersection, the potential closure of intersections with the highway and the possible elimination of several openings in the median between north and southbound lanes from Highway 41 in Louisville Township to as far south
as Highway 19 in Blakeley Township. The proposed changes are one of the by-products of an access management study Mn/DOT, elected and appointed city, county and townships officials have been discussing the past few years. The state’s concern is the volume of vehicles using Highway 169 in possible con-

City Council Selects Planning and Zoning Chair Henry Pressley Jr. to Fill Vacant Seat During a special session Tuesday night, the Belle Plaine City Council voted to appoint Henry Pressley Jr as its replacement for Scott Schneider, who resigned because he his moving to Shakopee. Schneider still had over three years remaining on his current term. Pressley is a 12-year member of the city’s planning and zoning commission and was chair at the time of his appointment to the council. Eight people had applied prior to last Tuesday afternoon’s
deadline. Besides Pressley, they were Tony Hetzel, Nate Hvidsten, Rick Krant, Nick Jensen, Joe Lenz, Kenneth Muzny and Leif Tharaldson. Hvidsten and Hetzel eventually withdrew from consideration and Krant was unable to attend the interviews due to prior commitments. The other five applicants were all interviewed. Pressley has lived in Belle Plaine for 14 years. He and his wife, Stephanie, have five children ages 5 to 16. Pressley said he’s both “nervous but excited”
to be joining the council. “On planning and zoning we had a smaller scope than the council has to deal with but I think my experience (on P&Z) will help me analyze the items before the council and help them reach the best outcome for the city. My fundamental desire on the council, as it was on P&Z, will be to chip in and help as best I can,” Pressley said. Pressley will be administered the oath of office at the city council’s Dec. 7 meeting.

The Noteables simply because it’s fun. The group, she said, is very accepting of each member’s limitations and enjoys the collective ability to make music people enjoy. The group takes the music and its performances far more seriously than they take themselves, she said. “We just have a lot of fun,� Gorton said. “They’re just so inviting. If my voice is tired from a day teaching and I sing alto from the soprano section, nobody worries about it.� Only her schedule teaching and singing with a group at her church in New Prague might have prevented Gorton from returning to The Noteables for a second season. “But they’re just such a fun group. I knew I’d be back this year,� she said. Once practice begins, “I forget about being a choir director.� That is, until The Noteables Music Director Gordon Gregersen asked her to step out front and work with the soprano and alto members of the choir. Gorton didn’t advertise she was a high school choir director. Gregersen lead Le Sueur-Henderson’s choir program from 1966 through 1996. Once he learned of Gorton’s professional ability, he asked her to work with the sopranos and alto. Her willingness to step up front allows Gregersen to provide the tenor and bass singers some more additional attention and direction. “It allows us more flexibility,� he said. “It allows us to be more efficient, so as a group we don’t have people sitting around.�

As much fun as Gorton has singing, she gleefully admits to breaking some of the strict rules as a member of The Noteables she strictly maintains as a teacher. “I am a little chatty,� she said. And during the BPHS volleyball team’s run through the section playoffs and state tournament, Gorton confesses she was occasionally checking her phone for text messages with updates from playoff matches. She has several of the volleyball team’s members in class and was pulling for them, even if she wasn’t in attendance at the match. “I was breaking my own rule,� she said, pleading no contest to an offense that would land a student in hot water. “I’m terrible. It was an emergency situation, but I think volleyball warrants it.� Gorton enjoys singing with

She spends her workday facing groups of Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School students, teaching them the fine art of using their voice as an instrument. The goal is for the students to become the best singers possible, individually and collectively. Away from her classroom, Cheryl Gorton enjoys time on the other side, facing the instructor and singing amidst a group. Gorton is a member of The Noteables, a community choir that will perform a holiday choir Sunday (Nov. 29, 4 p.m.) at Le Sueur High School. The holiday choir will be a blend of Noteables favorites and holiday songs. Gorton is one of 71 members in the choir from Belle Plaine, Le Sueur, Henderson, Le Center, Jordan, St. Peter, New Prague and Edina. There are 15 Belle Plaine residents in the choir, some of them her students or parents of her students. She joined The Noteables last year for the love of singing. Gorton is thrilled for the opportunity to switches sides, changing roles from teacher to student. A 20-year veteran of teaching choir, six at Belle Plaine, she agrees with the notion a change of perspective will make her a better choir teacher. “I’m not accountable for all the things I require of my students every day,� Gorton said. She challenges herself to sing soprano, even though singing alto would be easier after a day

using her voice in the classroom. She enjoys the challenge even after a day of vocal stress. “This takes me back to what I’m asking of my sopranos. It’s a good reminder,� Gorton said. Gorton didn’t join the Noteables to improve her capabilities as a teacher. She recalls one of the first Noteables practices. A parent of one of her students saved her an adjacent chair. Joining a new group is easier when you know some of the members, Gorton said. “I just love to sing,� she said. “I get to sing with people from town.�

Carver County Sheriff Seeking Public’s Help With Crash Info The Carver County Sheriff’s ofďŹ ce is requesting the public’s help in identifying the driver of a pickup truck that struck a pedestrian and left the scene of a crash in Chanhassen earlier this fall. The victim, Bradley Dean Hanson (61) of Fridley, was crossing the intersection of Highway 5 at Highway 101/ Dakota Avenue in Chanhassen Sept. 28 around 6:40 a.m. He was struck while in the crosswalk by a vehicle traveling south on Highway 101, turning east onto Highway 5, and was thrown into the median. Hanson described the vehicle as a pickup truck with a topper. Other motorists who witnessed the incident assisted him. Hanson received treatment for nonlife-threatening injuries at 212 Medical Center in Chaska and was released. Sheriff’s deputies received video footage of the hit-and-run from Mn/DOT trafďŹ c cameras. The footage shows Hanson being struck by a two-tone Ford Super Duty (2002-2008) towing an enclosed, tandem axle trailer about 16 feet long. The video shows the vehicle braking after striking Hanson, but continuing east on Highway 5. Anyone with information on the crash can call the sheriff’s ofďŹ ce at 952-361-1231or use the tip line 952-361-1224.

Scott County Presenting Hazard Mitigation Plan
Mn/DOT (continued from page 1) flict with cars leaving, entering and crossing the highway at high speeds. In 2014, Mn/DOT estimates about 18,000 vehicles a day use Highway 169 through Belle Plaine. Mn/DOT expects that count will jump to over 25,000 vehicles a day by 2030. Its projections for the highway north of Jordan swell to 37,000 by 2030. The overall plan will be finalized this winter, most likely after the holidays, said Diane Langenbach, MnDOT’s south area engineer. She said the agency would likely present information on individual segments and the overall proposal via an open house as yet unscheduled.
169 & CR 59
Between Jordan and Belle Plaine, the proposal calls for a three-quarters intersection and J-turns at the junction of County Road 59 (Delaware Avenue) and Highway 169 in St. Lawrence Township. Preliminary plans say it would be similar to the three-quarters intersection at the intersection of Highway 212 and County Road 53/Highway 284 in Cologne and at the intersection of Le Sueur County Road 28 and Highway 169 near the Cambria plant. A draft version of the plan also includes plans to close the medians where drivers might cross lanes of oncoming traffic or make U-turns. Cable barriers will also be installed within the highway median, Langenbach said. Mn/DOT’s concern is the safety of drivers slowing down to make the U-turn and then having to rapidly return to highway speeds without the benefit of lanes dedicated for the U-turn, said Tod Sherman, a planning supervisor in Mn/ DOT’s south metro district. “There are median breaks along the (Highway 169) corridor for left-turning vehicles which do not have the needed left turn lanes,” Sherman said in a memo to the committee.
Belle Plaine Herald
www.belleplaineherald.com
“Highway 169 is a high-speed, high-volume, principal arterial, freight route. Approximately 18 percent of traffic on Highway 169 is trucks. Therefore, decelerating for the left turns on the through traffic lanes is a significant safety concern.” Mn/DOT may leave some median crossings open. Thos crossings will likely see the installation of lanes for drivers to slow down and then accelerate back toward highway speeds, Sherman said. Mn/DOT is not certain if the intersection and additional lane work will be part of the mill/ overlay project along Highway 169 or a separate project. “We have to see how far the money goes,” Sherman said. “We’d like to see the whole thing done for the $17 million.” The access management plan also includes a proposal to close County Road 66’s intersection with Highway 169 at the former site of the Hot Spot in St. Lawrence Township just north of Belle Plaine. The proposed closure would require drivers utilize Park Drive to access Highway 169. “We’d be more likely to leave Park Drive open because Park Drive actually goes somewhere (north of the highway),” Langenbach said. South of Belle Plaine to Highway 19, Mn/DOT’s plan includes “cleaning up” any remaining median openings along Highway 169, she said. North of Jordan, Mn/DOT’s plans are less concrete. Because many of the median crossings directly serve businesses along the highway, closing the median openings would hurt the businesses. To delay that impact, Mn/DOT is looking at a series of “frontage” and “backage” roads on either side of Highway 169, Sherman said. The state is planning an interchange at the intersection of Highway 169 and Highway 41/County Road 78. Construction on the project could begin in 2018, Langenbach said. The $25 million estimated price tag is likely to change once the design is finalized. The plans for the proposed interchange will include “frontage” and “backage” roads that will serve businesses in the area of the intersection.

Two public meetings regarding the Scott County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP) will be held Monday (Dec. 7). The plan details the natural and man-made hazards that face the county and identifies specific mitigation strategies and actions to reduce the impact of disasters. The first meeting will be held at the Scott County Law Enforcement Center, 301 Fuller St. S. in Shakopee at 2 p.m. The second meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at the SCALE Regional Training Facility, 17706 Valley View Drive in Sand Creek Township, west of Highway 169. The plan is a multi-jurisdictional preparation covering Scott County, including the cit-
District Court Judge Kevin Eide will decide whether Nathan Kranz or the Sibley East School District and its taxpayers will pay the cost of a higher interest rate for bonds the district sold to fund its voter-approved school construction projects. Earlier this month (Nov. 16), attorneys for Kranz and the Sibley East School District were in court arguing whether or not Kranz should pay the $2.9 million the district believes his protracted lawsuit against the district will cost Sibley East School District taxpayers over 25 years of payments on a $42.35 million bond. The bond will pay for a new elementary school in Gaylord and improve-

cost of the delays could reach $1.3 million, costs that would have potentially been avoided had he purchased a court-ordered $295,000 surety bond. Kranz did not follow the court’s order to acquire the bond, contending he could not afford it. Eide promised a decision in a timely fashion, using a similar timeframe as he used after a Dec. 2, 2014 hearing. He took two weeks to rule against Kranz’s initial lawsuit. Eide ruled the district’s referendum would stand because Sibley East School District’s tardiness in publishing documents did not impact the outcome of the referendum. Kranz, a farmer from rural Gaylord who also farms land in Jessenland Township, acquired a $5,500 cost bond, an expense he also asked the court to refund.

ments to a secondary school in Arlington. Kranz’s lawsuit against Sibley East came after voters approved a 2014 bond referendum by 96 votes (1,634 to 1,538). Kranz unsuccessfully argued all the way to the Minnesota Supreme Court the results of the referendum should be nullified because the school district did not publish certain referendum-related documents on a schedule prescribed by Minnesota law. The Sibley East School District waited until all of Kranz’s legal options were exhausted to sell the bonds. During that time, the bond rate increased by about one-third of a point on a $42.35 million bond to be paid back over 25 years, the Gaylord Hub recently reported. Michelle Kenny, an attorney representing Sibley East told the court Kranz was warned the

Le Sueur County has received a grant from the state for grooming of snowmobile trails in the county. The $37,500 grant is the typical amount Le Sueur County receives annually. County Administrator Darrell Pettis said about 45 of it will arrive before Jan. 1, 2016 with the remaining 55 percent arriving after Jan. 1, the Le Sueur News-Herald recently reported. The county will have to meet pre-established state benchmarks that include brush removal, trail repairs and signage to receive the funding.

Thirty Years Ago This Week
Norwesco Sold The owner and chairman of the board of the Plastech Corporation, Dennis Frandsen, left, was in Belle Plaine in November of 1985 to announced the purchase of Norwesco’s Belle Plaine plant. He is pictured with Plastech President Dennis Campbell, center, and Dick Halbmaier, Norwesco’s plant manager, who would remain as plant manager here. OfďŹ cials of Norwesco Inc. of Bloomington announced the sale of their plastics manufacturing plant in Belle Plaine to Plastech Corporation of Rush City. According to Dennis Frandsen, owner and chairman of the board of Plastech, the sale price was in excess of $3 million. Norwesco President David Baldwin said “the divestiture of Belle Plaine, partially due to the severe drop in demand for computer-related products, decreased risks that were inherent in the volatile contract molding industry. Construction of the new ďŹ re hall in Belle Plaine was moving ahead rapidly. The walls and roof were set in place and the estimated completion date was March 15, 1986. Real estate property tax valuations on private homes in Belle Plaine were hiked by 10 percent and commercial property tax valuations in all of Scott County went up 15 percent in an adjustment to assessments by the Minnesota Department of Revenue. The Tom and Geraldine Sons family of nine miles northwest of Belle Plaine had much to be thankful for that Thanksgiving. Their daughter, Bonnie, 20, a champion runner with the Iowa State University women’s cross country team, was on a different plane than the one carrying team members and coaches that crashed and burned in a residential area of Des Moines, Iowa, that Monday morning. Seven bodies were found in the charred wreckage. The victims included four members of the women’s team, two male coaches and the pilot. According to Bonnie’s brother, Greg, Bonnie called home as soon as she learned of the crash to inform her family she was okay because she was on one of the planes that landed safely. Belle Plaine’s annual Community Thanksgiving Service would be held at the Belle Plaine High School auditorium on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28 at 9 a.m. Bertha Brenke, 89, passed away Nov. 20 in Le Sueur. Mrs. Brenke was born in Belle Plaine to John and Bertha (Ahlers) Westphal. She married Harold
Brenke in Belle Plaine on July 22, 1915. John Westphal caught an 11pound, 11-ounce walleye in the Minnesota River. After working the night shift at Producers Container Company in Savage, Westphal and Ralph Zellman decided to try their luck at ďŹ shing between Belle Plaine and Blakeley. By 9 a.m. he pulled in this whopper along with a smaller walleye. They were using minnows for bait. The BPHS boys’ basketball team opened the 1985-86 season with a 54-37 victory over Henderson. Brad Johnson had 14 points and 15 rebounds, while Jeff Johnson had 14 points and 12 rebounds. Paul Boschee added 10 points and Paul Pudlitzke had a team-high 19 rebounds. The Tiger wrestling team defeated Brownton 29-23. According to coaches Dick Fox and Kevin Slack, it was not a good team outing by Belle Plaine. Tiger heavyweight Brian Stier’s pin preserved the victory in the ďŹ nal match.
nior Livestock Show in South St. Paul. Mrs. Matt L. Riley (Nora Ryan) passed away at St. Mary’s Hospital, Minneapolis, after a short illness. The Rileys retired from the farm and sold the Riley homestead in 1945 and moved to Minneapolis. Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Thelemann sold their farm in Blakeley Township to take up residence in California, where they bought a chicken ranch. John Koller passed away unexpectedly at his home in Blakeley Township at the age of 78. Many relatives and friends attended the farewell party for Ambrose Mager upon his departure to Parks Air Force Base, California. Martin Beckman of St. Lawrence Township was elected president of the Minnesota Valley Breeders Association at the annual meeting held in New Prague. Thanksgiving Day had a very special meaning for Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Anderson as it was also their 59th wedding anniversary. The frozen body of Donald Pribyl, 32, of Le Center, was discovered lying alongside his stalled automobile on County Road 25. The Belle Plaine alumni basketball team edged the high school quint 58-56 in the annual Lettermen-sponsored contest. Harold Schultz was the high scorer for the high school with 11 points and Wayne Hagerman was high scorer for the alums with 15.
90 Years Ago (1925)
It was a pleasant Thanksgiving Day that year. The weather was mild and roads good. The Thanksgiving Dance at Dooley Hall was attended by 126 couples. Miss Dorlie Whitlock departed for Riverside, Calif., to spend the winter there. Fire broke out on the Dennis O’Day place at the south edge of town, burning the barn, chickenhouse and smokehouse. The old ďŹ re engine made a poor showing at the ďŹ re, breaking down several times on the job of pumping. Mrs. Mary Vinkemeier, widow of the late Ernst Vinkemeier, former Belle Plaine merchant, died at the age of 60. The funeral was held from the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mattfeld, and Zion Lutheran Church of Benton. At the German Settlement Church took place the marriage
of Miss Berdina Tiegs and Leo L. Ernsting, Rev. J. Janzig ofďŹ ciating. Organization of a town band was underway. Hugo Frey of Minneapolis was instructor and leader. Three Jessenland persons were severely hurt when their car struck a dog on the road and overturned. Miss Hazena Goulet, 45, was reported hospitalized with a broken back. Mrs. Mathilda Nord, a resident of West Union all her life of 64 years, died at the hospital in Minneapolis. The funeral at West Union was a very large one. William Gansen was elected head of the Helena Township Farm Bureau unit. At St. John’s Church, Union Hill, took place the marriage of Miss Minnie Barten of that parish to Thomas Kelly of St. Paul. Henry Barlage moved to Lakeville to locate on the farm his son was operating. County Commissioner and Mrs. J.P. Mann were given a surprised party at their home in Faxon on the occasion of their silver wedding day. The marriage of Miss Hildegard Olson and Hildor Anderson took place at East Union Church. Viola Anderson, Ruth Larson, Emory Olson and Raymond Anderson were the attendants. These were the boys who lined up as the school’s basketball prospects that winter: Ted Mahler, Lester Blume, Erwin Blume, Gordon Oster, Tubby Effertz, Tim Hert, Skip Kulisheck, Oliver Kahle and Fred Wolpern. Business in Belle Plaine was reported booming that pre-holiday period. There were several new stores, and all establishments were making a vigorous campaign for trade.
120 Years Ago (1895)
Local merchants had the problem of long credits and little cash, and were appealing to customers to settle up. The Thanksgiving dance was held in the new borough hall and the crowd was so large that the engine room below had to be cleared of equipment and extra musicians were provided to run a dance downstairs. The borough council was very tight. They not only curtailed insurance coverage, but when the street commissioner brought in an item for $6.50 for cleaning streets, they ordered him to collect ďŹ rst from the property owners fronting the street cleaned.

In Chaska, Good Weather Helped Courses’ Bottom Line Golf is good business for the City of Chaska. Thanks to favorable weather this spring, summer and fall, it generated plenty of revenue for the city golf courses’ bottom line for 2015. The city’s two courses – the 18-hole Town Course and the nine-hole Par 30 – saw the number of rounds played exceed city budget estimates. Footgolf at the Par 30 was also popular this past summer. The Town Course saw 33,500 rounds played during the 2015 season, 2,500 more than the city planned when setting its budget. The Par 30 saw 17,500 rounds of traditional golf and footgolf played this past season – also 2,500 rounds more than expected. Footgolf added $20,000 to the Par 30’s balance sheet this year, the Chaska Herald recently reported. The city is planning to maintain the 2015 rates for next year. They are $63 for 18 holes with cart during weekends at the Chaska Town Course ($58 during the week). Non-residents
Homestead Applications Due Dec. 15 Scott County is encouraging its residents who have not already done so to ďŹ le their homestead notice. Not doing so will affect the amount of property tax you pay in 2016, and it may affect your eligibility for a property tax refund. Have you purchased or acquired a property this year? Or was your property previously classiďŹ ed as non-homestead? You must ďŹ le a homestead application with Scott County on or before Dec. 15 if one of the following applies: – You purchased a property in the past year and you, or a qualifying relative, occupy the property for homestead purposes on Dec. 1, 2015. – You or a qualifying relative occupy a property for homestead purpose on Dec. 1, 2015 and the property was previously classiďŹ ed as non-homestead. – A qualifying relative for homestead purposes depends on the type of property. For residential property, a qualifying relative can be a parent, stepparent, child, stepchild, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece of the owner. This relationship may be by blood or marriage. For agricultural property, a qualifying relative can be a child, grandchild, parent or
60 Years Ago (1955)
Hundreds of youngsters turned out to see Santa Claus at Matt’s Variety Store. Some 650 packages of candy and nuts were distributed at this pre-Christmas annual affair at Matt’s. A break-in at Arnold Stier’s garage and an attempted breakin at the new school were being investigated by the sheriff’s ofďŹ ce. Considerable damage was done to the main door at the school and a few items were taken from Stier’s garage. The wedding of Marydale VandenBerg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chris VandenBerg of Boyden, Iowa, and T/Sgt. Urban Hartman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Phil Hartman, took place in Omaha, Neb. Alvin Larson, formerly of Henderson and professor of botany at the University School of Agriculture, passed away at the age of 69.

will pay $87 during the weekends, $81 Monday through Friday. A round at the Par 30 is $14 for adults. Footgolf is $10 per round. The city is considering eliminating the non-resident additional charge, a move Mayor Mark Windschitl questioned. He said the $24 a Chaska resident saves from the non-resident fee is a beneďŹ t of living in Chaska. Chaska will raise rates at the Town Course during the Ryder Cup next fall. Podhradsky said raising the rates during a large event is a common practice that will pump more money from corporate outings into the city’s coffers. The city will be putting money back into the two courses. Chaska plans to replace the eet of motorized carts at the Town Course and replaces bridges on the course. The city is also planning to upgrade equipment at the clubhouse. Plans for improving the Par 30 include the irrigation system.
sibling of the owner or spouse of the owner. Once you have been granted the homestead classiďŹ cation, no further applications are necessary unless they are speciďŹ cally requested by the county assessor. Applications may be printed from the Scott County website at www.co.scott.mn.us or you can apply in person at the Scott County Customer Service Department. You must also contact the taxation department by Dec. 15 if you are the property owner, or a qualifying relative of the property owner, and the use of the property has changed during the past year. If you should sell, move or for any reason no longer qualify for the homestead classiďŹ cation, you are required to notify the county within 30 days of the change in homestead status. A form is available in the Taxation Department or on the county website (www.co.scott.mn.us) to request the homestead be removed from a property for the next assessment. Failure to notify the county assessor within this 30-day period is punishable by recalculation of the tax as non-homestead; in addition to a penalty equal to 100 percent of the homestead beneďŹ ts. For more information, you can also call 952-496-8115.
John Schumacher Named to Association’s Hall of Fame The former owner of Schumacher’s Hotel and Restaurant in New Prague was recently named to the Minnesota Hospitality Association’s Hall of Fame. John Schumacher and his wife, Kathleen, ran Schumacher’s from when they bought it in 1974 to 2005. The former Broz Hotel was a dilapidated building when Schumacher bought it. He transformed it into a nationally acclaimed hotel and restaurant, the New Prague Times recently reported. Schumacher reopened the ho-
tel and restaurant in 2009, adding a new restaurant known as Grill 212. The operation closed permanently in 2011. The association said the honor is bestowed upon people deemed “a legend in the industry.� In addition to the restaurant, Schumacher authored several cookbooks and made frequent appearances on KARE 11 TV as its resident chef. The Schumachers, who no longer reside in Minnesota, were recently honored at an informal get-together in New Prague.

Town & Vicinity Twenty years ago, on a chilly November night, a group of friends gathered in the home of Scott McDonald in Jesseland. A lasagna dinner was served and the then 20somethings enjoyed a delicious meal, wine, and laughter. For the next 18 years, the annual get together was enjoyed in the big white house nestled in the beautiful hillside along the Scenic Byway. Last year, the gathering moved to The Edgewood Farm, just down the road. On Saturday night the 20th annual lasagna wine and dinner party brought this wonderful group of friends together again at the
barn. Wine was flowing like the nearby Minnesota river, and laughter could be heard throughout the valley. Those who were able to celebrate were host Scott McDonald and his son Adam, Dale Chard, Marty and Lisa Fahey, Jodi and Gary Kechely, Dale Entinger, David and Susie Watkins, Matt and Diane Skelley, Jeff Fahey, Jill Jones, Maury O’Brien, Mark and Jelene Johnson, Mark Kotval, Jeremy and Amy Fahey, Brad Fahey, Michelle Ness, Jenny and Tom Fahey, Adam and Amanda Retzer, and David and Sarah Entinger. A great time was had by all.

Jordan City Council Belle Plaine Woman Votes to Go Solar Charged With Theft The Jordan City Council Monday (Nov. 9) voted unanimously to replace all of its Xcel-generated electricity of its overall consumption with solar energy, locking in its rate for 25 years at a competitive rate the city hopes expects will save significant money for taxpayers over the life of the project. “The city looked into the possibility of solar, and quite frankly were stunned at the potential for energy cost savings,� said Tom Nikunen, Jordan’s city administrator. “If Xcel’s utility costs increase by 4 percent per year on average, the council’s action will save over $1.6 million in electric energy costs by 2040.� Average Xcel rate increases have been closer to 5 percent annually over the last 10 years, Nikunen said. The day after the council’s decision, Xcel announced plans to seek increase rates of 10 percent over three years, according to the utility. “With the utility’s announcement, we will save taxpayer money literally from day one,� Nikunen said. Environmental concerns were also raised in council discussion. “We’re very excited and proud that our decision will save taxpayer money at the same time as we are doing our part on our resident’s behalf to clean our environment� said Jordan Mayor Mike Shaw. A SunShare analysis determined the city’s action would offset over 81,500,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, the gas emission most closely linked with climate change, as well as over 16,000,000 gallons of water
used in coal electric generation. The city’s power will be generated as part of a “community solarâ€? project being built by Minnesota company, SunShare, with the physical 5-megawatt (MW) array being built in Blakeley Township. The city’s share is 1Âź MW. “By choosing community solar, we have almost entirely eliminated any risk to the City and its taxpayers,â€? Nikunen said. “Assuming the project is permitted by the public utilities commission, it will be owned and operated by SunShare, and our price is locked on and cannot change. In the unlikely event the project goes bust, the city simply reverts to being a regular utility customer as we have been, with absolutely no penalty.â€? City staff and the council entertained several solar energy proposals, some of which would have be owned and/or operated directly by the city. “In the end, staff and council thought the best allocation of risk and reward was with the SunShare proposal, although many options were attractive,â€? Nikunen said.
A Belle Plaine woman is charged with using her former employer’s credit card to make over $2,015 in unauthorized purchases and charges for declined purchases. Ashley Marie Johnson is charged with one count of theft by fraud, a felony. She is due in Scott County District Court Dec. 28 for a first appearance on the allegation of financial transaction card fraud. According to the criminal complaint, Johnson, 21, worked for a company in Deephaven, Minn. She was dismissed from the company for allegedly stealing money from the owner’s wallet. The company’s treasurer notified police after learning that Johnson possessed a company credit card number for a Visa credit card and had attempted to make purchases using it. The complaint states Johnson used credit card information Oct. 20 to make $330.55 in purchases from Victoria’s Secret,

and four purchases through Ulta.com cosmetics for $279.60 each for $1,448.95 in approved purchases. Police also learned, the criminal complaint states, Johnson unsuccessfully attempted to make two purchases for $139.95 each through DSW. com for shoes and accessories and an additional purchase at Victoria’s Secret for $306.84. The purchases were declined because of overdrafts, resulting in $566 in declined charges to the owner of the credit card. The company treasurer worked with the company’s bank to have the transactions cancelled. Johnson admitted to using the credit card to make the attempted purchases using her parents’ laptop computer at their house in Belle Plaine. She said she did not receive any of the items. She told police that the owner of the company previously allowed her to use the credit card to make purchases, but that the company’s treasurer, did not allow the purchases.

School Board-Teachers Reach Tentative Contract Agreement
Friends of Rush River News
With the assistance of a mediator, it took four-plus hours for negotiators representing the Belle Plaine School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachers and the school board to reach a tentative contract Monday (Nov. 23). Terms of the two-year deal between the school board and the Belle Plaine Education Association (BPEA) were not disclosed, allowing the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negotiating team and leadership time to present the proposed agreement to the rank-and-file for a vote. Negotiators for the school board believe the tentative agreement is fair for both sides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both sides feel like they gave something,â&#x20AC;? said Director Matt Lenz, the school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief negotiator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We compromised.â&#x20AC;? Lenz said negotiators for the BPEA and school board hope the proposed agreement would be ready for final approval by the Belle Plaine School Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dec. 14 meeting. The teachers and school board entered the closed-door mediation session Monday morning with primarily two outstanding issues to address -- a proposal to add one additional paid personal-leave day to the two personal leave days teachers already have and additional money on the steps and lanes schedule.

SWCD Tree Sale Continues The 2016 Scott Soil and Water Conservation Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (SWCD) annual tree sale has begun. This is always a great opportunity for residents to add high-quality, low-cost natural plantings to their yards or acreage. In addition to 32 varieties of young coniferous and deciduous seedlings, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sale will feature native plant plug kits for sunny, shady and wet areas. The plug kits (36 plants, 6 of 8 varieties per kit) will allow for quicker plant establishment and enjoyment. Rain barrels, native seed mixes and tree supplies (mats, spades and marking flags) will also be sold. And for the second year, back by popular demand, Scott SWCD is offering the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Backyard Bundle,â&#x20AC;? a great choice for residents who live in the city or on smaller rural lots. It includes five different varieties in one bundle of 25, including Paper Birch, Black Hills Spruce, Highbush Cranberry, Serviceberry and Red Osier Dogwood. All other varieties are sold in bundles of 25.
You may notice that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sale once again includes smaller seedlings and lower prices. Local forestry experts and our longtime customers have found that smaller stock grows faster, is easier to plant and has a higher survival rate. All varieties thrive in Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various soil types and climate. The sale began this month and continues through April of 2016, at which time customers may pick up their pre-paid orders and buy smaller bundles of any remaining seedlings at the Scott County Fairgrounds in Jordan. Call the Scott SWCD office in Jordan at 952-492-5425 or send an e-mail to scottswcdtrees@ gmail.com if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to receive 2016 tree materials. Like last year, you may send your order to the Scott SWCD Office, 7151 190 St W, Suite 125, Jordan. Or you may complete your entire order online, including secure payment with Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover. To get started, visit www.scottswcdtrees.com for order form, photos and sale item descriptions.

The board and union previously agreed on the addition of a paid assistant coach for one-act play and maternity leave. The teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s union had previously declined the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed 5.459 percent increase over two years. The board made the offer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which amounts to an additional $293,000 for 201516 and $295,400 for 2016-17. The unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last wage proposal for 2015-16 and 2016-17 called for 4 percent in additional wages for teachers as they complete additional education and experience and a 4½ percent increase in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to health insurance annually. That equates to $540,483 in new spending the first year and $525,681 in new spending the second year of the deal. In other action at Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, the Belle Plaine School Board: â&#x20AC;˘ Paid bills totaling $1,344,927.81. â&#x20AC;˘ Honored state competition participants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the BPHS Volleyball team, the football team and cross country runner Emily Berger â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for their success this fall. â&#x20AC;˘ Hired Rebecca Worm as a long-term substitute teacher from Nov. 9 through January

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. Visit VALLEY BANK MINNESOTA at 200 Creek Lane North, Jordan, to learn about our savings programs. Our home equity loans help you tap into extra cash for your personal needs. Call us at 952492-2666.

HINT: If your income for the year, including one-half of Social Security beneďŹ ts, exceeds a certain base amount, your beneďŹ ts are partially taxable.

Le Sueur County received nearly all of what it sought from the state to help fund cleanup of fuel tanks. The county board recently learned Le Sueur County received $141,766.98 from the Minnesota Petrofund for removal of underground storage tank and cleanup of contaminated soil at the public works site in Waterville when the old building was razed. The state grant will help with
expenses the county and City of Waterville incurred with removal of an underground tank and site cleanup, the New Prague Times recently reported. The state is covering all but approximately $30,000 of the project costs. The Minnesota Legislature created the Petrofund in 1987 to help public sector entities remove buried fuel tanks and cleanup tainted soils.

H.S. Boys’ Basketball
Belle Plaine Looks to Get Over Disappointing 2014-15 Season
Members of this year’s BPHS boys’ basketball team include back row, from left, than Herman and Luke Narveson. In the front row are Kellen Bergs, Noah HastBrandon Hieronimus, Matt Nelson, Marcus Giesen, Jared Kalal, Mitchel Stier, Na- ings, Sam Gregory, Branden Schulz, Derek Guscette, Brody Curtiss and Jonathan Schmidt. Missing from the photo are Andrew Hunsader and John Karl. by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School boys’ basketball team had more downs than ups last season, finishing a disappointing 5-9 in the Minnesota River Conference and 6-18 overall, which included a loss at home in the first round of the playoffs against Norwood Young America. During the offseason, head coach John Wellner resigned after five years and another familiar face to the boys’ basketball program has taken over – Paul Fogarty. He has been a part of the Belle Plaine program for many years, from youth coaching to varsity assistant. Last year, he was ninth grade coach. Fogarty was born and raised in Belle Plaine, graduating from BPHS in 1981. He graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in 1985, where he played basketball and baseball. He was a member of Belle Plaine’s town baseball team for many years and was part of the 1994 state champion team. But turning around the boys’ basketball program is what Fogarty is most focused on now, and he has ample tools to do it
with. Returning this season are both of the Tigers’ 2014-15 allconference selections – Luke Narveson and Mitchel Stier, both of whom are now seniors. Narveson, a guard/forward, averaged 21 points and eight rebounds per game last season, while Stier, a guard/forward, averaged 13 points and six rebounds per game. Stier played every position for the team at one time or another, from point guard to center. “There are also a number of other players with experience to help contribute to a successful season,” Fogarty said. Among those are junior forward Nathan Herman and junior guard/forward Brody Curtiss. Rounding out the roster in order listed on the current program are sophomore guard Noah Hastings, junior guard
Kellen Bergs, sophomore guard Andrew Hunsader, senior guard Branden Schulz, senior guard Sam Gregory, senior guard/ forward Derek Guscette, senior forward Marcus Giesen, junior forward Jonathan Schmidt, junior forward Matt Nelson, junior center John Karl, senior forward Brandon Hieronimus and senior center Jared Kalal. “Our goal this season is to learn how to compete and work harder than our opponent and get better everyday. This will provide a fast and exciting brand of basketball and a terrific season,” Fogarty said. Le Sueur-Henderson and Watertown-Mayer, the latter of which is no longer in the conference, shared last season’s MRC title with records of 12-2. Jordan was third at 11-3. LS-H graduated all three of its all-conference players, including MRC Most Valuable Player Jordan Kahlow, a guard who averaged 19 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2.5 assists per game. Jordan has one of its two all-conference selections (forward Jackson Dean) back for his senior season. “Every conference opponent will be talented and our section is always challenging. Our team has practiced hard and if they continue, they will be able to compete against every oppo-

nent all season long. “I am fortunate to have a coaching staff with more experience than many other schools,” continued Fogarty, adding that Pete Fogarty, who coached in Eden Prairie for 25 years, is now Belle Plaine’s varsity assistant coach. The B-squad coach is Kevin Soller, who has been in the program for over 25 years. Jarod Werner is now the freshmen coach, while Ross Nelson and Kale Seifert are coaching the junior high. 2015-16 BPHS Boys’ Basketball Schedule Nov. 30 vs. WEM Dec. 5 at Waseca Dec. 8 at Le Sueur-Hend.

H.S. Girls’ Basketball
Tigers Look to Step Up in Absence of Leading Scorer and Rebounder
Members of this year’s BPHS girls’ basketball team include back row, from left, Ire- and Mariena Hayden. In the front row are Alissa Schultz, Alexa Lenz, Kaitlyn Paul, land Lambrecht, Maria Larson, Lily Vinkemeier, Elizabeth Johnson, Paige Narveson Hailey Witt, Anna Donkhong and Taylor Mullen. Missing from the photo is Schuyler Sterk.
by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team has a big challenge ahead of it this season as it will go into battle without its leading scorer and rebounder of the past couple of years – post Mariena Hayden, who injured her knee in the state volleyball championship match and is expected to miss most, if not all, of the hoops campaign. Hayden was the Tigers’ lone all-conference recipient last season, averaging over 22 points and 12 rebounds per game, which led the team in both categories. Hayden, who was also all-conference two years ago and honorable mention as an eighth-grader, has been the Tigers’ most dominant inside player in recent years. But Belle Plaine head coach Randy Carlson and the rest of the 2015-16 Tigers are by no means throwing in the towel. “We obviously will miss Mariena. She is a dominant player. But her absence will create opportunities for other players. We will see who takes advantage of that. We are look-
ing for a great season and will be fun to watch,” Carlson said. Among those leading the charge back this year are junior guard Elizabeth Johnson, who was all-conference honorable mention last season, senior guard/ wing Alissa Schultz, junior wing Ireland Lambrecht, junior post Kaitlyn Paul and freshman wing Paige Narveson. The above five combined for over 20 points per game last season, and if they hope to significantly improve on last year’s record (2-12 in the Minnesota River Conference, 5-22 overall), they will have to inflate their scoring and rebounding numbers this season. Also returning this season is senior guard Anna Donkhong. The rest of the varsity roster consists of juniors Alexa Lenz (wing), Hailey Witt (wing), Schuyler Sterk (post); sophomores Taylor Mullen (guard/ wing), Maria Larson (wing/ post); and freshman Lily Vinkemeier (wing/post). Carlson, who is beginning his

fourth season as the girls’ head coach after some 25 years as the Belle Plaine boys’ head coach, said the Tigers have about half their scoring back this season. He is optimistic they can pick up their game in 2015-16. “We have a lot more players capable of scoring this year. They have shown a higher skill level and are smart and play hard. We have depth at the guard position and have a lot of players with versatility. We would like to think we have a good shooting team.” “Size is our biggest weakness,” Carlson continued. “We will make up for it with hustle and trying to create mismatches.” The coach added that he expects the MRC “to be good from top to bottom.” Last year’s champion, Norwood Young America at 13-1, graduated MRC player of the year, guard Kaylie Brazil, but brings back its other two allconference selections, both of whom are sophomores this year – guard Kali Grimm and center Bren Fox. Those two combined
averaged close to 25 points a game last year. Watertown-Mayer, which was second in the standings last year, is no longer in the MRC. Jordan, which finished tied for third with Mayer Lutheran, returns all three of its all-conference players – senior Karli Nielsen (post), and junior guards Brooke Sievers and Ashley Freund. Carlson said he also expects the section to be strong again this year, including NYA, Glencoe-Silver Lake and St. Peter, but there does not appear to be one dominant team. “Our team goals this season will be to play hard, have fun, play together and improve everyday,” Carlson said. “That being said, we would like to finish in the top half of the MRC and win games in the section playoffs.” 2015-16 BPHS Girls’ Basketball Schedule Dec. 1 vs. WEM Dec. 3 at Faribault BA Dec. 8 vs. Watertown-M Dec. 10 vs. Fairmont Dec. 17 at Sibley East

Belle Plaine Has High Expectations This Winter
Members of this year’s BPHS Explosion dance team are back row, from left, Sara Wallert, Vanessa Rosales, Abbie Siegle, Allison Skluzacek, Selin Dikmen, Ally Fink, Ferguson, Claire Miner, Jamie Zahn, Hannah Witt, Mai-Linh Nguyen, Rachael Elia- Ali Davis, Allison Lovejoy and Jenna Seaver. Missing from the photo are Kate Haege son, Maggie Applegarth, Mia Pribyl and Filiz Dikmen. In the front row are Grace and Lauren Kerkow. by Dan Ruud Belle Plaine High School dance team coach Sibel Dikmen is confident her team can make waves during the 201516 season, competition for which begins at the Hutchinson Invitational on Dec. 5. “So far the team has looked great at practice,” said Dikmen, who is in her second season as head coach. “More importantly, the chemistry seems to be great between the girls this season. The team has new young members who are hungry to achieve a lot and returning varsity members remember the feeling of not advancing to state last year to drive them at practice. It should be a great season.” Only four seniors graduated from last year’s team – Krista Peltonen, Kala Schmidt, Jane Schneider and Alesia Hastings. More than a dozen members of last season’s squad return. They are seniors Maggie Applegarth (captain), Ally Fink (captain), Ali Davis, Jenna Seaver; juniors Selin Dikmen (captain), Filiz Dikmen, Rachael Eliason,
Mia Pribyl, Allison Skluzacek, Allison Lovejoy, Kate Haege; sophomore Abbie Siegle and freshman Mai-Linh Nguyen. Also on the varsity roster are sophomores Lauren Kerkow and Vanessa Rosales; freshmen Grace Wallert, Claire Miner, Sara Ferguson, Hannah Witt and Jamie Zahn. “Our determination and unity as a team are without a doubt our strengths,” Dikmen said. “With those two qualities, I know the girls will be able to achieve the level of technique and skill needed to meet their goals.” Any weaknesses? “Moving up seven new team members from JV will definitely be a challenge,” Dikmen said. “The varsity team has an extra level of competitiveness and team norms that those girls will have to get used to. They’ve already been doing a great job, though.” Goals this winter? “We’re hoping to advance to the state tournament with our kick routine,” Dikmen said.

H.S. Wrestling
Scott West Opens at Osseo Invitational This Saturday
Returning letter winners for the 2015-16 Scott West wrestling team include back row, ton, Dylan Johnson, Ryan Siegle, Brendan Mackedanz and Ben Dvorak. In the front from left, Tyler Grieves, Jon Huss, DeShawn Carter, Jake Mercado, Calvin Menke, row are Parker Huss, Jackson Stauffacher, Justin Stauffacher, Carter Piche, Jack Tyler Buesgens and Ben Alexander. In the middle row are Tariq Smith, Ben Kelving- Fogarty, Tyler Shackle and Josh Backlund. Missing from the photo is Josiah Schatz. With 25 years of Scott West wrestling officially now in the books, the Panthers are gearing up to continue to make their mark on the Minnesota wrestling scene in 2015-16. It is hard to argue with the success that the Scott West wrestling program has accomplished through its first 25 years as it has qualified for the Minnesota State Team Tournament 15 times, while finishing as the Class 2A state runner-up four times. Along with the Scott West team success has come a tremendous volume of individual success as well as the Panthers have had 148 state-qualifiers, with 80 state place-winners, including 18 state championships that have been won by: Pat McNamara (3X), Nick Slack (2X), Michael Kroells (2X), Andrew Fogarty (2X), John Weldon, Tony Gansen, Josh Roberts, David Whipps, Jeff Lucas, Tony Valek, Gabe Fogarty, Zach Siegle and David Flynn. “That is some legendary stuff with some legendary names there,” states Scott West cohead coach Darren Ripley, who will again team up with cohead coach Jerold Stauffacher for the 26th year of Scott West wrestling. “We graduated a couple of Scott West legends from last’s year team in David Flynn and Andrew Fogarty, but we have a good core set of wrestlers that are hopefully set to make some legendary things happen this
season.” The season will begin for the Panthers at the Osseo Invitational this Saturday, a tournament the Panthers have won five times. After finishing third in the Minnesota State Class 2A Team Tournament last season, Scott West will begin the upcoming 2015-16 year rated #3 by The Guillotine in Minnesota’s Class 2A, with Simley rated #1 and Kasson-Mantorville #2, while Albert Lea is #4. Scott West returns five individual state wrestlers with senior captain Ben Kelvington leading the way. He is a two-time statequalifier and had a 38-10 record last year. He recently signed a national letter of intent to wrestle at the Division II program of Augustana. Also back are a pair of lightweights as junior Parker Huss and sophomore Jackson Stauffacher combined to go perfect in dual meet action and both placed fourth at state. Huss wrestled his way to a 39-8 record and Stauffacher was 37-7. Looking to finish out his Scott West career this year with another strong performance will be returning state-qualifier Carter Piche. Last year, the Panther lightweight followed in his dad Jason’s footsteps to become the first father-son state tournament duo for Scott West, as in 1991 Jason Piche became the first state-qualifier in the inaugural Scott West season. Carter Piche wrestled his way to a 2816 record along his route to the
state tournament and this year the senior will hopefully have his sights on the state-placing podium. Heavyweight Josiah Schatz is also back for his senior season. He placed fifth at state last year as he compiled a record of 30-12. He will be joined by middleweight and fellow senior Ryan Siegle, who placed third in the Section 2 A A Championships last season and finished with a 27-15 record. Sophom o r e Ty l e r Buesgens finished fourth in the section individual tournament last year at 145 pounds, while wrestling his way to a 28-14 season record. That was last year and after a year of growth and development, Buesgens is set to begin the year wrestling at 195. He has already turned in a big performance in the weight class as a couple of weeks ago he won the prestigious pre-season JJ Classic at 195 pounds in Rochester. “I think that there will be a few double takes by people who know who he is and maybe haven’t seen him since the last wrestling season because
50 pounds is a big weight jump and it doesn’t happen all that often,” states Ripley. Three other wrestlers the Panthers are hoping to get improved production out of this year are Dylan Johnson, Tyler Grieves and Deshawn Carter. Johnson placed sixth in the section individual tournament last year at 152 pounds and has the
ability to turn around his 12-24 record from a year ago. After going 12-19 last year, Grieves will be looking to help himself and his team by turning that record around. As for Carter, he won arguably one of the biggest matches of the year last year when he beat New Prague’s Stevie Kvam 7-6 at 160 pounds in the Section 2AA Team Championship finals. The Panther junior went 15-22 on the mat last year and has the skills to improve upon that mark this season. “These three guys are really big keys to our potential team success this year and they all
Good Luck Wrestlers! have the ability to be successful as they have been within the program over the course of a number of years,” states Ripley. Last year, the Panthers had a pair of eighth-graders that saw quite a bit of varsity action and one was an up and coming lightweight in Tyler Shackle, while the other was an up and coming upper weight in Calvin Menke. This year, they are both freshman and appear to be on course to open the season in the starting lineup. Shackle went 12-3 last year. As for Menke, he had the unenviable task of competing in the upper weight classes of 182 and 195 but accounted for himself quite well as he went 10-20 on the year and gained a valuable year of experience that should help him this year. Scott West has three other wrestlers in the making as well and all three of them turned in Minnesota 9th Grade League State Tournament placing performances at Champlin Park last season. Freshman Justin Stauffacher (113) and sophomore Jack Fogarty (126) both wrestled their way to the championship finals and finished second, while current freshman Jonathon Huss placed fourth. “All three of these wrestlers did really well up there as it is a very tough tournament,” states Ripley. “They will all be counted on to be a big part of the present and future success
of Scott West wrestling.” There is also a final returning member of the official Scott West state tournament team that beat Totino-Grace 42-31 for third place in the Minnesota State Team Tournament last year. He is senior Brendan Mackedanz, who went 9-10 in varsity action last season.

EXTRACT OF MINUTES OF MEETING OF SCHOOL BOARD OF INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 716 BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a meeting of the School Board of Independent School District No. 716, Belle Plaine, Minnesota, was held on the 28th day of September, 2015, at 6:00 p.m. The following Board members were present: Dan Gardner, Joe Vandermark, Mike Ludvik, Matt Lenz, Dan Giesen and Tracy O’Brien and the following were absent: None Member Dan Giesen introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION APPROVING JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WHEREAS, the SouthWest Metro Educational Cooperative is a joint powers entity formed under Minn. Stat. § 471.59. WHEREAS, Independent School District No. 716 is a founding and collaborating member district of the SouthWest Metro Educational Cooperative through Board resolution which ultimately established the SouthWest Metro Educational Cooperative as a joint powers entity on July 1, 2013. WHEREAS, the resolution forming the SouthWest Metro Educational Cooperative incorporated a joint powers agreement setting forth the governance and other standards for and of the SouthWest Metro Educational Cooperative. WHEREAS, the SouthWest Metro Educational Cooperative joint powers agreement anticipated the possible formation of an Intermediate District with the member school district boards agreeing as follows: ARTICLE VI CONTINUED OPERATION AS AN INTERMEDIATE DISTRICT If the Minnesota Legislature adopts enabling legislation approving the establishment of the District as an Intermediate District under Chapter 136D of the Minnesota Statutes, or other law, and if the Collaborating Districts individually vote to reorganize the District (Educational Cooperative) as an Intermediate District, the Collaborating District Boards hereby agree to continue the District as an Intermediate District in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any amendments to this Agreement, the bylaws of the District, as amended, and applicable laws. WHEREAS, the 2015 Minnesota State Legislature in Special Session passed Minn. Stat. § 136D.41: 136D.41 LISTED DISTRICTS MAY FORM INTERMEDIATE
DISTRICT. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, two or more of the Independent School Districts Nos. 108, 110, 111, and 112 of Carver County, Independent School Districts Nos. 716, 717, 719, 720, and 721 of Scott County, and Independent School District No. 2905 of Le Sueur County, whether or not contiguous, may enter into agreements to accomplish jointly and cooperatively the acquisition, betterment, construction, maintenance, and operation of facilities for, and instruction in, special education, career and technical education, adult basic education, and alternative education. Each school district that becomes a party to such an agreement is a "participating school district" for purposes of sections 136D.41 to 136D.49. The agreement may provide for the exercise of these powers by a joint school board created as set forth in sections 136D.41 to 136D.49. WHEREAS, an Intermediate District is defined in Minn. Stat. § 136D.01: 136D.01 INTERMEDIATE DISTRICT. "Intermediate district" means a district with a cooperative program which has been established under Laws 1967, chapter 822, as amended; Laws 1969, chapter 775, as amended; and Laws 1969, chapter 1060, as amended, offering integrated services for secondary, postsecondary, and adult students in the areas of vocational education, special education, and other authorized services. WHEREAS, a proposed Joint Powers Agreement has been prepared which establishes the SouthWest Metro Intermediate District as a joint powers entity under Minn. Stat. § 471.59 as authorized by Minn. Stat. § 136D.41. WHEREAS, the SouthWest Metro Intermediate District would serve to replace the functions of the SouthWest Metro Educational Cooperative. WHEREAS, a copy of the proposed Joint Powers Agreement is attached and incorporated by reference. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the School Board of Independent School District No. 716, as follows: 1. That the attached Joint Powers Agreement be and hereby is approved; 2. That the Chairman and Clerk are hereby authorized to execute and deliver the attached Joint Powers Agreement; and 3. That in the event that less than two of the Collaborating Districts (as the term is defined in the attached Joint Powers Agreement) approve the Joint Powers Agreement, this Resolution shall be void and have no force or effect. 4. That in the event an Intermediate District is formed, the Governing Board of the SouthWest Metro Educational Cooperative, shall be directed to transfer all assets, liabilities, and functions to the SouthWest Metro Intermediate District and subsequently dissolve the Educational Cooperative. 5. That, pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 136D.45, Subd. 2, this resolution shall be published once in a newspaper in the District or in a newspaper having general circulation in the district and shall become effective 30 days after publication, unless within the 30-Day period a petition for referendum on the resolution is filed with the school board, signed by qualified voters of the school district equal in number to five percent of the number of voters voting at the last annual school district election. In such case, the resolution shall not become effective until approved by a majority of the voters voting thereon at a regular or special election. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Member Joe Vandermark and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Dan Gardner, Joe Vandermark, Mike Ludvik, Matt Lenz, Dan Giesen and Tracy O’Brien and the following voted against: None whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.

Society’s annual meeting Monday (Nov. 23) evening. The fair board voted 7-5 against renewing the contract, Shutrop said. Three members of the board were not present.

There are hundreds of enthusiasts heartbroken right now.” Shutrop said the date of the December meeting has not been formalized. The board meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month (Dec. 22). The December meeting is likely to be rescheduled, he said, to avoid the conflict with the week of Christmas.
18 Years
Motokazie has been running motocross and supercross motorcycle racing at the fairgrounds since 1997. The company operates a handful of events during the spring and summer as well as an event during the Scott County Fair. It attracts between 400 and 600 spectators, Theis said. Over the 18 seasons, about 150 Belle Plaine racers have competed in Motokazie events. “There are approximately 20 racers active,” Theis said. The Scott County Fairgrounds is an attractive venue because of its proximity to Highway 169. Shutrop conceded that even though an agreement may have been up to formal approval, the future of Motokazie came down to liability concerns. In the past year, racers and even Motokazie workers were injured during
races. Theis said his events are fully insured against liability with commercial blanket liability and per-event liability insurance from motor sports specialty insurance companies. Theis said he is not aware of any crash or accident that created a loss for the fair board. “Racing is an inherently dangerous sport. We take many precautions to lower the chance of injury,” he said. Shutrop said the majority of the board casting votes on the issue felt the benefits of having Motokazie operating at the fairgrounds during the spring and summer, as well as during the county fair’s five-day run, did not outweigh the potential liability. “It may be his event, but it’s on our property,” Shutrop said. “When there’s an accident, where do the lawyers go?” Fair board members also raised concern over the appearance of the track in the grandstand. The agreement between Motokazie and the Scott County Fair board says Motokazie will mow and weed trims on the track side of the fence. The fair board will maintain the pit parking side of the fence, Theis said. Shutrop said the fair board is looking to bring in additional attractions to the grandstand, events that would generate more revenue. An additional truck and tractor pull, concerts, a movie night, and an earlyspring demolition derby are among possibilities, he said.
Chaska Mulling Concept Plan for Goodwill Store The City of Chaska is considering a proposal that could bring plenty of life to the largely-vacant Ridgeview Medical Plaza just off Highway 41 in Chaska. The city’s planning commission recently considered Wel-
lington Management’s proposal to redevelop the facility and the construction of a Goodwill store just north of the former clinic, the Chaska Herald recently reported. The proposal calls for the 38,500-square-foot former Ridgeview building to
be re-purposed with retail and offices. The proposed Goodwill store will be 20,600 square feet. With commission approval, the city council will likely consider the plan in December.

New Prague City Council Passes on Poultry Plan
Congrats from the School Board Members of the Belle Plaine High School volleyball team were recognized and congratulated by the school board during Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Nov. 23) monthly business meeting. Coach Cassie Koch (below) offered board members insight on the team, its players and their journey through the season as the toprated team, culminating with a state championship victory.
She told the board the players perhaps wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully appreciate the experience for another 10 or 15 years. Board members thanked playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; families for their support of the players. The school board also recognized the football team for its season and cross-country runner Emily Berger for winning a berth in the state meet.
City councilors in New Prague werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite ready to give a thumbs-up to a proposal to allow residents to keep chickens in their back yards. The council recently sent the idea back to the city council for additional consideration. The New Prague Planning Commission recommended the council approve an ordinance allowing chickens. It viewed the practice as holistic and sustainable. The commission included in its recommendation conditions on which chickens in coops could be maintained. Councilors and residents at the
Nov. 16 offered mixed opinions on the proposal, the New Prague Times recently reported. Some council members supported the idea, noting the benefits of poultry and fresh eggs. Others grilled the proposal, raising concerns about nuisance issues, cleanliness and rodents drawn to the coops. New Prague City Planning Director Ken Ondich said the planning commission would likely need more than one meeting to address council members concerns before potentially returning the proposal to the city council.

Cause to be Determined An inspector from the state fire marshalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and a Belle Plaine firefighter sifted through the destroyed manufactured home Monday morning (Nov. 23). The cause of the fire that destroyed Sandra Hessingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home remained under investigation when this issue of the Herald went to press.
mals that live in the area, seeking out spaces where black bears might sleep through the winter. These are just a few of the activities that Oak Crest Elementary School sixth-graders participated in during their five-day stay at the Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center during the week of Oct. 26-30. Founded in 1971, Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center was the first environmental learning center in the nation to be accredited as a K-12 school and is recognized nationally and internationally as a leader in environmental education. Belle Plaine sixth grade students have been attending the ELC since 1974. During the school year, more than 15,000 children, teachers and chaperones from the Midwest visit Wolf Ridge Center to experience their own adventures in learning. For more than 40 years, this accredited environmental learning center near Lake Superior has been helping students discover more about the world around them through immersive, hands-on learning. This year, Oak Crest had 129 students, 10 staff, three retired staff members and 43 parents attend Wolf Ridge. Activities and classes at Wolf Ridge are almost all outdoors, typically three hours in length. Oak Crest students each took 11 different classes and attended three naturalist programs throughout the week on subjects that include environmental science, cultural history, contemporary environmental issues, personal growth, team building and outdoor recreation. For many, it was their first time doing such activities. They also participated in a bonfire and a hot dog roast, as well as the traditional Creature Hunt. It was a week of fun, learning, adventure and personal growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my favorite memories from Wolf Ridge is being with my friends and learning how to work together,â&#x20AC;? said Carly Williams. Ojibwe Heritage and Voyageur Life classes dealt with the human history in Minnesota in a hands-on manner.

Fire Destroys (continued from page 1) warned her of the danger, said Assistant Chief Steve Otto. Firefighters could not save the manufactured home, said Belle Plaine Fire Chief Matt Stier. The cause of the fire has not been officially determined. The fire started in the center of the house, the area where most of the damage occurred, he said. The rest of the house was damaged by intense heat. Firefighters from Jordan as-
sisted in fighting the blaze. The manufactured home just east of Hessingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house was evacuated. Firefighters worked to protect it from the flames. Firefighters were able to save Hessingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small dog. They found it beneath a bed. The Minnesota State Fire Marshal is investigating the fire. Stier said that investigation should produce the cause of the blaze.

Open for Business Officials from Carver and Scott counties, Mn/DOT and the federal government celebrated the opening of the new $54 million County Road 101 bridge between Shakopee and Chanhassen Tuesday morning (Nov. 24). The 4,200-plus foot bridge (below) is 28 feet above the old causeway. It was to be open for traffic shortly after the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Over 20,000 vehicles a day are expected to use the new river crossing. U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (right) was among the elected officials who praised the project as an example of cooperation.
Area Man Bags Mule Deer Blakeley resident Shane Exum proudly displayed the mule deer buck he bagged Friday (Nov. 20) while hunting from a tree stand on his grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; land in Jordan along the river bottoms. They are typically found throughout the American West as far east as North and South Dakota. The Minnesota DNR said a mule deer in Minnesota is fairly rare. They are known for their large ears and dark-colored tails. The deer weighed about 140 pounds. Exum expected heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d enjoy about 35 pounds of meat from the deer. A longtime hunter, Exum didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d shot a mule deer until he unloaded the deer from his truck.

Jordan Looking for Company to Haul Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rubbish Jordan city councilors are looking for a company to properly collect and dispose of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential and municipal garbage. The best offer will win a contract with the city under a so-called closed or organized system. The Jordan City Council recently decided to seek proposals from haulers interested in the exclusive right to collect residential and city garbage. The council plans to meet in a workshop to determine exactly what it wants from the winner of the contract. The city also plans to conduct an online survey of its residents regarding the garbage contract. Jordan City Administrator Tom Nikunen said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already heard from several companies

interested in offering proposals for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract, the Jordan Independent recently reported. Jordan has had a closed system since the mid-1980s, possibly earlier, he said. The city council has been discussing its garbage contract since last spring when Elite Waste owner Troy Schuette asked the city about extending the contract. The city recently discovered Elite overcharged customers $7,646.35 via an inaccurately applied fuel surcharge. Schuette said the mistake was an honest one made without malice. He plans to refund customers for the overcharge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I truly feel absolutely horrible about it,â&#x20AC;? he said.
