Belle Plaine Native Killed in Motorcycle Crash Friday

Ken and Karen Anderson are delighted to once again be hosting “Nightmare on Buffalo Street” Friday (Oct. 31) from 5 to 9 p.m. The popular Belle Plaine attraction was shelved last year. Karen and members of her U.S. Army Reserve unit were in San Antonio, Tex. preparing for deployment to Kuwait. “I’m excited for this year,” Karen said, “I just wish we had more time.”

A 27-year-old Belle Plaine native, Jennifer Marie (Wolf) Compton, was killed Friday morning (Oct. 24) when her motorcycle and a vehicle crashed at the intersection of County Road 40 and 152nd Street near East Union in Dahlgren Township, according to the Carver County Sheriff’s Office.

While deputies were en route to the crash around 7:15 a.m., they learned Compton was injured and unresponsive. Deputies arrived, along with rescue personnel, and found a passerby doing CPR on the unresponsive woman.

Rescue efforts were unsuccessful and the victim was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Compton, who graduated from BPHS in 2005 and most recently lived in Chaska, was on her way to work as a receptionist at

Matt Saxe Chevrolet-Buick.

She was wearing a helmet and protective clothing while she was traveling southbound on County Road 40 when an eastbound vehicle entered the intersection at 152nd Street. The vehicle, a Chevy pickup, was driven by a 45-year-old man from Carver.

It appears Compton tried to avoid a collision, but struck the left front of the other motor vehicle, said Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson. The road conditions were dry and clean in the area of the crash.

Deputies from the Carver County Sheriff’s Office and Minnesota State Patrol troopers are investigating the crash.

She is survived by her husband, Kyle of Chaska, and parents, Laurie and Rick Wolf of Henderson.

Her obituary is on page 3.

Carver County Sheriff Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud, said alcohol has been ruled out as a contributing factor to the crash.

The role excess speed might have played, will be determined when the crash reconstruction is completed next month, he said.

Returns to Buffalo Street

Popular Halloween Attraction is Back After Deployment

It’s crunch time at Karen and Ken Anderson’s house on Buffalo Street. They spent the weekend working on their presentation, “Nightmare on Buffalo Street” to make sure all the details are covered.

After putting ‘Nightmare’ on the back burner last year because Karen and other members of her Army Reserve unit were in San Antonio, Tex. preparing for deployment to Kuwait, the return of the popular Halloween presentation is especially important to the Andersons and the friends and family who help.

It starts around 5 p.m. Friday and runs until 9.

Karen recalls the disappointment of being 1,240 miles away from home and feeling bad about not hosting Nightmare on Buffalo Street. She and Ken estimate the attraction bring between 200 and 300 people by their house.

“It felt really odd not doing it last year. We’ve been doing it for 13, 14 years,” Karen Anderson said. “I know people said they understood, but we felt like we were letting the community down.”

After returning home from Kuwait last month, she and Ken

looked forward to the annual ‘Nightmare.’ They planned a week’s vacation following her deployment. After the trip, they expected to get busy working on the transformation of their front yard, garage and part of

ing federal and state candidates aren’t the only choices voters will ponder when they head to the driveway. But the couple the polls Tuesday (Nov. 4). The lost a week’s preparation time polls are open from 7 am. to 8 when Ken’s grandfather passed p.m. away and the Andersons made

B.P. Students Will be Trick-or-Treating for Someone Else Friday

Don’t be surprised if you see plenty of junior and senior high school students trick-or-treating Friday evening.

It’s for a good cause.

Students at Belle Plaine Junior High School will be out accepting donations for the school district’s backpack program, an initiative run through the Belle Plaine Area Food Shelf to help students in need over weekends or holiday breaks, when school is not in session. The trickor-treaters will be collecting

healthy, single-serving meals and snacks for the program.

Best Belle Plaine

Belle Plaine students will also be collecting donations for the food shelf in hopes of winning bragging rights over their counterparts from Belle Plaine Community Schools in Belle Plaine, Iowa. The school whose students bring in the most food per-student wins the coveted title of “Best Belle Plaine.”

Business Trick-or-Treat Friday

Neil Keohane, left, is selling Neil’s Pub/Rustic Room to Ryan Neisen, who plans to rename the business Neisen’s Corner Bar. The change takes effect next Monday.

The Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual Halloween Business Trick-orTreat for elementary schoolage children this Friday from3-5 p.m.

A number of downtown businesses and others in the community are participating (see ad in this edition of the Herald for the list of business participants).

The Belle Plaine Lutheran Home will also be distributing treats at the same hours in its Chapel.

Last Hurrah for Neil’s Pub Saturday; Neisen’s Corner Bar Opens Monday

Public School Halloween Events

Chatfield Elementary School students will hold their annual parade of costumed participants at the “high school” gym starting at 2 p.m. Friday. The event is open to the public and doors will open at 1:35 p.m.

Oak Crest Elementary School will again hold individual class parties rather than a costume parade.

First Presbyterian Church Sloppy Joe Dinner

First Presbyterian Church on West Main Street downtown will hold its fourth annual Hal-

loween Sloppy Joe Fest (freewill offering) from 4-6 p.m. this Friday.

Downtown Bars Costume Contests Saturday

It will still feel like Halloween on Saturday night in downtown Belle Plaine as Andy’s Bar and Grill (11 p.m.), Huck’s Shipwreck Saloon (11:30 p.m.), Johan’s Sports Bar (12 a.m.) and Red Door Bar (12:30 a.m.) will be holding costume contests.

by Dan Ruud An age swing of over 50 years between seller and buyer of one of Belle Plaine’s most recognizable buildings will transpire next Monday when Ryan Neisen, 21, takes over ownership of Neil’s Pub, which he is changing the name of to Neisen’s Corner Bar. It’s located on Belle Plaine’s busiest downtown intersection – Main and Meridian streets.

The seller, Neil Keohane, 73, is retiring after over 33 years of ownership of the bar. He bought

what was then Krant’s Bar/Rustic Room in 1981. Walter Krant Sr. and his Son Walter Jr. Krant combined operated the bar for almost a quarter of a century.

The Krants had bought the business from Harry Schultz and developed the adjoining one-story building into the Rustic Room.

Keohane’s purchase of the bar and Rustic Room from Krant sealed what was one of the most extreme career changes a person can concoct. Keohane was still principal at Belle Plaine High

School when he purchased the buildings (Krants Bar and Rustic Room) in the middle of the 1980-81 school year. He did not take over the business until after his resignation from the school district took effect.

Keohane had been principal at BPHS for 11 years. He came here from LaMoure, N.D., where he was also a high school principal for two years. Keohane grew up in Beach, N.D., not far

40 years of experience... a lifetime of service Group Gauging New Prague’s Interest in Lacrosse

There could come a day soon when New Prague fields competitive lacrosse teams.

A group is introducing the increasingly popular sport in New Prague. Sixty girls and boys in elementary and high school grades recently attended a series of practices meant to gauge community interest in the sport. The players are from New Prague, Elko New Market and Lonsdale.

The group is taking baby steps in the formation of an association, said Chris Brandt, one of the adults working to form the New Prague Lacrosse Association. Early practices included the most basic fundamentals of the sport, the New Prague Times recently reported.

The association hopes to hold its first competitive game in the spring of 2015.

One of its initial challenges, besides having enough players, is a large enough grassy area to practice and play. With the city’s OK, the group has been practicing on a large grassy area across from the former National Guard Armory. Other practices were held on a field on

B.P. School Board Eyes Policy on Recognizing New Student Groups

Last Hurrah for Neil’s Pub Saturday; Neisen’s Corner Bar Opens Monday (continued from page 1) from the Montana border. He attended Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Mont., and received his master’s degree and teaching certificate from North Dakota State University.

Keohane, who always wanted to own his own business, said he never had any regrets about the career move from education to bar owner.

In the Jan. 22, 1981 Herald, when Keohane was in the midst of what would be his final school year as principal at BPHS, he told the Herald why he was making the change in direction.

“I like teaching and my job, but I’ll turn 40 in a couple of months and decided I wanted a career change. I’ve been looking for a business opportunity and am looking forward to this,” said Keohane, adding that he knew what it was like to work in a bar since he was a bartender for a year at an Elks Club in Beaverton, Ore., a suburb of Portland.

Prior to taking over operation of Krant’s Bar, Keohane said Krant did him a favor.

“He raised the price of a beer by a nickle (from 75 cents to 80 cents) right before I took over so that I wouldn’t have to take the heat,” Keohane said.

Keohane, an avid motorcyclist who has logged 12,000 to 13,000 miles this year, plans to travel to Florida more often and stay longer. His wife, Donna, died seven years ago.

Keohane said he has “mixed emotions” about leaving the bar business in favor of retirement.

“Thirty-three-and-a-half years is a long time. We always had great clientele and great workers. It’s hard to leave,” he said.

Neisen said he hopes to retain a lot of Neil’s clientele and is retaining employees as well, including bartenders Shirley Krant and Sandy Stocker, the former of whom Keohane once joked “came with the place” when he bought it.

Shirley, whose husband Kenneth Krant, is Walter Jr.’s brother, worked a number of years with the Krants before Keohane came along.

Even though he just turned 21 in September, Ryan Neisen, a 2012 graduate of Belle Plaine High School, is no stranger to the bar business. He currently manages Neisen’s Bar and Grill in the tiny community of Biscay, which is near Glencoe. His father and mother, Dan and Lori Neisen, own the bar, as well as the Red Door Bar in down-

town Belle Plaine and Neisen’s Sports Bar in Savage. In all, the Neisen family owns about 10 bars in Minnesota.

Other than the name, Ryan Neisen said he does not plan to make any major changes to Neil’s Pub. He said the new signage should be in place soon and he may do some renovating to the interior, but nothing immediate. His primary goal is to keep Neil’s present regulars and over time add others.

Two major changes that will take effect immediately are the days and hours of operation.

Neisen’s Corner Bar recently sought and received approval from the city to be open on Sundays, which Neil’s never was, and the option to stay open until 2 a.m. rather than 1 a.m.

Neisen said he’s looking forward to the challenge of owning his own bar in a building that has “a lot of history.” He said it’s appropriate (or ironic) that he is buying the business from Keohane.

“My dad and Neil have been in the (bar) business about the same amount of time and now it’s my turn. He (Neil) signed my dad’s and uncle Dennis’ diplomas and they went into business against each other almost right away. It’s kind of funny,” Ryan said.

Keohane does not plan to go out of the bar business quietly.

This Saturday, he his holding a “Thanks for the Memories” event to celebrate the final day of the establishment’s 33-plus years in business. The Charlie Moore Band will perform from 2-6 p.m. and there will be a DJ from 7 p.m. to close. There will also be drink specials and “free Tiger meat until gone.”

Area Separated, Divorce Support Meeting Nov. 4 The next area Separated and Divorce Support Group meeting will take place Tuesday, Nov. 4 from 7-8:30 p.m. at St. Wenceslaus Church (lower level), 215 East Main Street in New Prague.

Come and experience good support as you move through this time in your life. People of all faiths are welcome. Sessions take place the first Tuesday of each month.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Belle Plaine residents would help pick a president, decide senate and congressional contests and other races in that coming Tuesday’s General Election. Locally, voters would also choose a mayor and elect two council members from a field of five candidates. On the presidential ballot was Ronald Reagan being opposed by Walter Mondale. In the U.S. Senate race, incumbent Rudy Boschwitz was being opposed by Joan Growe. In the city election, incumbent Mayor Frances Schuman was opposed

by Roger Martin. The five candidates for two seats on the city council were Walter Hedblum, David Edberg, William Chard, David Smith and Ivan Otto.

Belle Plaine voters would also decide whether or not the city should levy $300,000 to construct and equip a new city fire hall. The proposed 104- by 104foot fabricated concrete structure would be located on the 100 block of South Ash Street across from the Belle Plaine Commission Company.

Susan Morris of Emma Krumbee’s restaurant in Belle Plaine said the restaurant’s Scarecrow Festival and Contest was going to be an annual event. “For sure it is going to be an annual thing because we have had so much positive response to this year’s festival.” The restaurant paid out more than $3,600 in prizes to young people and adults who designed and constructed their own scarecrows for entry in the contest.

Sales of alcoholic beverages, previously prohibited on election days in Minnesota, were now legal. The Minnesota Legislature changed the law in 1983 and the Belle Plaine City Council gave local approval shortly before the general election of 1984. The law previously stated that liquor could not be sold on election days between 1 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Rev. James Coleman passed away at the age of 87. Rev. Coleman was born in St. Thomas, son of the late David J. and Rose Ann Doherty Coleman.

He attended St. Thomas grade school and graduated from Le Sueur High School. He served at the parishes of St. Olaf and at St. Kevin’s in Minneapolis. A St. Kevin’s, he planned and built the church, school and rectory.

Young people in Belle Plaine would be celebrating Halloween with a dance and a roller skating party. Elementary school kids would have a parade at the school in the afternoon and trick-or-treating in the evening.

Seventh- and eighth-graders were invited to a skating party at Skateville in Burnsville and the bus ride and admission were free. The Halloween dance was open to all students in grades 9-12 and would take place in the junior high gym.

Approximately 75 children entered the Halloween Pump-

on their 15th wedding anniversary.

Hubert Humphrey was reelected senator and Orville Freeman defeated C. Elmer Anderson for governor in the Nov. 2 elections. Joe O’Hara was reelected congressman. John Metcalf was elected state senator and Mike Moriarty defeated John Fitzgerald for state representative. In Le Sueur County, Mike McGuire defeated Pischel for representative.

90 Years Ago (1924)

1984 Spikers The 1984 Belle Plaine High School volleyball was the best ever record-wise in school history. The Tigers completed the regular season with a record of 18-4 and received the top seed for the upcoming District 13 Tournament. Pictured at top, from left, are Mitzi Westlund, Lori Farrar, Tami Kankelfitz and Ann Klehr. Holding a trophy are Brenda Schultz and Camille O’Brien. In the third row are Laurie Wolpern, Deb Zabel, Kim Carlson and Julie Halquist. In the bottom row are Barb Weierke and Lynda Glynn.

kin-Carving and Poster Contest sponsored by the Retail Division of the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce. The first-place winner in the pumpkin-carving contest was Suzanne Scherber. Jan Witt won the poster contest.

If all the above Halloween activities weren’t enough, the Belle Plaine Public Library would be showing movies on Halloween night. All children and parents were invited.

The city of Belle Plaine would be honored along with New Richmond, Wis., two communities with strong Irish ties, during the fifth annual Irish Festival that coming Saturday and Sunday in the St. Paul Civic Center.

According to Mary Minton of Belle Plaine, state president of the Ladies of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, an exhibit featuring Belle Plaine would include photographs of the Irish parade in Belle Plaine, regalia, including a sword carried by Hibernians in the parade, and other Irish memorabilia.

60 Years Ago (1954)

Clarence Petter, mayor of Belle Plaine, fell victim to a heart attack while pheasant hunting on a farm near Springfield. He was dead when companions reached him. He was 40 years old.

Sister M. Alcuin, O.S.B. (Mary

Arens), died at the hospital in Duluth at the age of 54. She was a sister of Mrs. Joseph Maus of Belle Plaine. She was past president of the American Society of Medical Technologies.

M.J. Daly of Belle Plaine appeared on WCCO-TV with a Sen. Humphrey panel and gave a short talk. Mr. Daly had been co-chairman for Humphrey’s election campaign.

Many relatives and friends helped John Ahrens celebrate his 67th birthday.

Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Albrecht and children, who had been on the Mrs. Aug. Keup farm in Blakeley, moved into town, taking the apartment in Jim Dyer’s house. Mr. and Mrs. Lester De Splinter, who had been occupying the house on the William Dunn farm near Assumption, rented the Keup place.

Mrs. Frances Latzke, while on a visit in Duluth with her daughter, Mrs. Ben Buesgens, suffered a heart attack and died at the hospital. She was 75 years old.

Miss Darlene Bessel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Bessel, became the bride of Clarence Zellmann, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Zellmann.

President Coolidge was reelected by a landslide vote. Of his two opponents, Davis carried only the southern and border states, and LaFollette carried only Wisconsin.

Youngsters were on good behavior that Halloween. Only a few soaped windows to be cleaned up.

After spending a few weeks here with his parents, Emil F. Voight left for Kalamazoo, Mich., to work with a large advertising concern. He had previously been connected with the Louis F. Dow Co. of St. Paul.

The year’s election was the finest on record. Balmy weather, smooth roads everywhere.

E.E. Chamberlain was back from Montana to spend a few days with his wife, who was here to look after her mother, Mrs. W. Sielaff.

Mrs. James Kane, one of the pioneers of the Belle Plaine community, died at the home of her daughter in Minneapolis and her remains were brought to Sacred Heart Church for funeral services. She was 6 years old in 1855 when her parents homesteaded in Belle Plaine Township.

William Witt was reelected county commissioner in the Belle Plaine district with a margin of 342 votes, and John Mann won reelection in the east Sibley County district with a margin of 184.

The marriage of Miss Margaret Scully and Edward Corcoran took place at the church in Jessenland. The couple established their home on the groom’s farm north of Belle Plaine.

South Meridian Street was sprucing up. Joe E. Schmitt completed a contract for 1,300 feet of concrete curbing and gutter on that section of street.

During that summer-like October, Bieder brothers picked 20 quarts of raspberries from their bushes, and on Nov. 1 picked enough berries to make a shortcake.

Dr. D.W. Wilson of Belle Plaine was elected to serve as representative in the lower house of the state legislature with a majority of 436.

At the home of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Schmidt, the double wedding of 25 years previous was reenacted. The other couple was Mr. and Mrs. Fred Muehlenhardt. The attendants at the original wedding were also present as were most of the guests.

Mike Foldesi held an auction on his farm at St. Thomas. The family was to move to his mother’s farm south of Le Center.

Albert Scheele of Washington Lake Township lost four fingers in operating a corn shredder.

Minnie Sass, Sand Creek Township girl, had to have a hand amputated after helping in operation of a shredder.

The four counties of Scott, Carver, Sibley and Le Sueur were all carried by LaFollette for president by substantial margins. All four were carried by Magnus Johnson for U.S. senator and all four carried by Floyd Olson for governor. The three leaders were also tops in Belle Plaine borough.

120 Years Ago (1894)

The 1894 election was a Republican landslide. The Republicans carried their entire state ticket and all the congressional districts.

P.W. Morrison, former Faxon Township boy, was elected county attorney for Carver County.

The Peter Jackson farm home in Blakeley Township burned to the ground. After the fire, the family moved to Belle Plaine.

The famous ring and anti-ring contest in Scott County resulted in tight races all down the line.

The anti-ring ticket captured two offices. Of two anti-ring candidates, Dr. Bohland lost office of coroner by 74 votes, and J.B. Fitzsimmons lost out for auditor by 278 votes.

That was the first year in which Belle Plaine divided into two voting precincts. The township folks voted at the Pendy schoolhouse.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, On behalf of the American Legion Auxiliary, I would like to encourage parents to take the time to teach their children about the following Halloween safety tips to help ensure a fun and safe night: • All children should know their phone number and address; • A responsible adult should always accompany children; • Costumes should be light in color to aid visibility, be fire resistant, and not pose a tripping hazard. Use make-up instead of vision-blocking masks. Use reflective tape to make sure they can be easily seen; • Always use sidewalks and obey traffic signals. Cross streets at corners and walk ways, never cross between parked cars; • Never go into a house for any reason; • Never go with somebody without prior parental permission; • Only accept sealed and wrapped treats and always have an adult check all treats at home before eating.

• Have fun and be safe!

Diane Otto Children & Youth Chairman American Legion Auxiliary Unit #144

Dear Editor, Main Street I drove down Main Street in Belle Plaine late Friday afternoon to say good-bye to an old friend of the family. Even though much has changed since I left there over 30 years ago, I can still see the old town and remember how it was. As I pulled off the highway, I thought of the café that shared space with a gas station.

I remember four full-service gas stations: Standard, Texaco, Skelly and Sinclair. There was no such thing as self-service.

While you stayed in the car, the gas tank was filled, the oil was checked, the windshield was cleaned, and the tires were visibly inspected for pressure. The stations had a garage with a mechanic on duty – often the same guy who pumped the gas, and if he was not too busy, he would vacuum the interior of your car after it was serviced One of my favorite stops with Dad was the Sinclair station. I never sat in the car when we pulled in there, because Dad would get out and talk with Louie Lieske, the proprietor.

While Dad talked I played on the big green dinosaur in front of the station. Dad and Louie had an easy way with each other; their conversations were snappy and filled with laughter, and it made everyone around them smile.

The trademark logo for Sinclair Oil was a green brontosaurus, and one day Dad brought home an inflatable one. I don’t remember how big it was, but it was big enough to support a small boy in a lake. I don’t know if Dad purchased it from Louie or if Louie just gave it to him. I suspect it was a gift, a thank-you for Dad’s friendship and patronage.

Louie was generous in other ways too, especially with his time. He was a volunteer fireman, and he spent four years as chief. I used to see him at the fire station, which was just a block and half from our house.

As the town grew, so did Louie’s participation. He owned several businesses and served on several civic organizations.

For over 40 years he was on the board of directors of The Lutheran Home Association, with four years as its CEO. Ironically, he worked all those years to make it home for others, but never stayed there himself; Louie died at his own home instead of at The Home.

The last time I saw Louie was a couple weeks ago at a football game. We sat and talked in the rain while he watched his grandson play and I watched my son, Nathan, coach. He got to know Nathan when Louie was driving bus and Nathan was a student teacher at the Belle Plaine schools. Three generations of Kucera men (my father, my self and my son) connected with Louie. I never met anyone else who had Louie’s ability to make friends so easily. I suspect many people considered him their best friend. That kind of guy never goes out of style.

But things change, they don’t stay the same. Almost one hundred years ago the book “Main Street” was published. The fictional book is about Gopher Prairie, an ugly little town filled with unhappy, short-sighted people. Ignoring the difference in years, I think the book would have had a different slant if the author, Sinclair Lewis, had stopped at Louie’s Sinclair in Belle Plaine (which means beautiful prairie). He would have seen what I saw, a great little town because of men like Louis Lieske.

Sincerely, Jerry Kucera

Dear Editor, I would like to commend School Board Director Joe Vandermark for bringing up the trans gender issue.

It seems to me it should be no problem at all. If a student is male, he plays on the boy's team. If a female, she plays on the girl's team. It's not the school's problem. The 99.9% of the students that play by the rules do not have to bend over backwards to accommodate a student with a gender problem.

If one student out of 500 is allergic to peanut butter, does that mean that the school can't have peanut butter sandwiches on the lunch menu?

This is a classic example of the tail wagging the dog. I think people in this country are fed up with political correctness.

I and my farm neighbors pay a lot of money in taxes to the Belle Plaine School District.

The majority of them would like the Belle Plaine School Board to concentrate on policy that would improve the students intelligence and test scores rather than waste their time and taxpayer's dollars on proposed policies governing participation of transgender students in league activities.

We need more people with common sense like Joe Vandermark on our School Boards.

Respectfully, Larry Plonski

Belle Plaine Police Report

St. Thomas by: Loni Graham The next Mass scheduled at St. Thomas with Father James Burns officiating on Sunday, November 2 at 9 a.m. Masses are scheduled at St. Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Le Sueur on Saturdays at 5:15 p.m., and Sundays 8 and 10:30 a.m. with Father George Grafsky.

Mass in St. Thomas this October 25 was officiated

by Father Roger Hessian and the alter server was Marvin Halloran. Close to 80 were present. Jim Walker read the Liturgy, James and Andy Oak, Kevin Halloran and Marvinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend, Josh Anderson, took up the gifts. Jim Oak assisted Father as Eucharistic Minister.

Mass was said for Jack Burns.

Dick Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell, Fr. Roger Hessian and a number of others from the community attended the funeral for Kathleen M. Kaluza 3-26-1945 to 10-112014 in Faribault on Thursday, Oct. 16. Father Roger married Kathleen and Charles Kaluza in 1966, also baptized their son Michael after he was born.

Michael later became a priest.

He had been at Our Lady of the Prairie in Belle Plaine for a few years, and is presently located at Divine Mercy in Faribault.

First timer at the Eyeball on Wednesday, Ronnie Pint, the mayor of Union Hill, was celebrating his birthday. He came in with a few of friends.

Mike and Cindy Sullivanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Shelby married

Eddie Jeffries on October 25 at the Hampton Cove Wedding Plantation in Gurley, Alabama.

Minnesota guests attending the ceremony were Iris Sullivan and her daughters, Punky, Debbie and Shannon, daughter- in-law Peggy and granddaughters Mandy, and Molly.

Eddie met Shelby when he took her on her first sky dive.Now Shelby works full time at the drop zone and Eddie is a NASA engineer. Eddie proposed while sky diving with Shelby - all caught on camera. Makes one wonder what this family does for excitement. Eddie is a great addition to the Sullivan Clan.

Michael Holden, a manufacturing engineer, spent this week working at the Toro plant outside London, England.

Tom and Kim Holden Goetzinger hosted a party for the KCHK staff Saturday evening at their home in New Prague. Lots of good food, laughter, and of course concertina music. Late into the evening, the party moved to the Pioneer Saloon, owned by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheriff Mark Michelâ&#x20AC;?, where there was a costume party and a bit more room for dancing.

Eileen Reak, Gloria Simonette, Amy Meger, Rita Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell, Teri Kolsrud and Mary Miska recently enjoyed â&#x20AC;&#x153;To Kill a Mocking Birdâ&#x20AC;? at the Minnesota State University. A wonderful play!

Galle to Libby Gann in Tulsa, Oklahoma on October 18. After 4 days in Tulsa, they enjoyed time in Rogers, Arkansas and spent a few days with a brother and sister-in-law of Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deceased husband. It was a wonderful fun-filled time, enjoying beautiful weather and seeing family.

From the archives: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At St. Thomas Catholic Church, Miss Frances Byrne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P.H. Byrne, was united in marriage to Robert Tiegs, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Tiegs. Rev. Francis Byrne, uncle of the bride, officiated.â&#x20AC;?

BPH Oct. 2, 1953. Fran Byrne married the love of her life, Bob Tiegs, while he was on leave in a beautiful autumn ceremony at 9:30 a.m. on October 23, 1954.

The wedding party: Mary Catherine Connolly, Helen Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill, Ray and Bill Byrne, Jake and Melinda Schmid, Terry Meyer and Lynn Regan. Bernice Meyer made Lynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold flower girl dress to match the bridesmaids, and Terry wore a black tux like the groomsmen. After the reception and meal Bob left to milk a barn-full of cows before the wedding dance at Wilkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ballroom in Le Sueur.The newlyweds honeymooned briefly in Minneapolis before Bob returning to McCook Air Force Base in Nebraska.

(continued from page 19) After a few exchanges of possessions, Sibley East marched 51 yards that included a 5-yard touchdown run by Brody Bates.

The two-point conversion attempt failed and the Tigers led 7-6 with 4:29 left in the second quarter.

It stayed that way until the first possession of the second half when, on a couple of long runs, the Wolverines quickly covered 76 yards, the final two by Bates.

The two-point conversion was successful and Sibley East led 14-7 with 8:15 left in the third quarter.

Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carter Brink returned the ensuing kickoff to the S.E. 32. That helped lead to a 9-yard TD pass from Narveson to Branden Schulz.

Baltierez added the PAT and it was 14-14 with 5:44 left in the third quarter.

The Wolverines fumbled on their next possession and it was recovered by Joe Hankins at the S.E. 25. The Tigers capitalized a short time later with a 5-yard TD run by Narveson. The extra-point try was no good and it was 20-14 with 2:26 left in the third quarter.

After forcing the Wolverines to punt, it was the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; turn to fumble, and it was recovered by Sibley East at the Belle Plaine 32. A roughing the passer call on the Tigers helped lead to a 3-yard TD run by quarterback Lukas Bullert. The two-point try was no good and the score was knotted 20-20 with 7:08 left in the game.

Belle Plaine answered with a 78-yard scoring drive that was capped by a 2-yard TD run by Ben Stier. The Tigers then went for two and Narveson found Shane Buege in the end zone to give Belle Plaine a 28-20 cushion with 4:13 to play.

The Wolverines, not wanting to go out quietly, used a trick pass play for a long gain to inside the Belle Plaine 5 yard line. From there, Bullert, on another keeper, scored the touchdown to make it 28-26 with two minutes left in the game. Sibley East decided to try a running play on the two-point attempt and it was quickly stuffed by a swarm of Tigers, who held on for the two-point win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was proud of the way the kids kept fighting. They showed a lot of character and heart by fighting till the end to get a hard-fought victory,â&#x20AC;? said Tigers coach Justin Johnston.

Belle Plaine had 361 yards of offense (206 rushing and 155 passing). No team statistics were available for Sibley East.

Narveson completed 14 of 22 passes for 155 yards and one TD. He also led the team in rushing with 112 yards and two TDs on 13 keepers.

The leading receivers for Belle Plaine were Jonny Vinkemeier (six catches for 69 yards), Ryan Wolke (three for 31 yards) and Paul Nasby (two for 25 yards).

Wally Schultz, Branden Schulz and Buege each had one catch.

Following Narveson in the rushing department were Marcus Walsh (nine for 47) and Stier (eight for 39).

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.

WednesDAY, OTCOBER 29, 2014

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

After a Year Off, ‘Nightmare’ Returns to Buffalo Street (continued from page 1)

the trek to Illinois for the service and to spend time with family.

“I’m excited for this year,” Karen said, “I just wish we had more time.”

Plenty of Work

The creation of a graveyard in the split-level house’s front yard takes most of a weekend, Ken said. Ken has taken Fridays off work the past few weeks and a couple of Mondays to build the extended driveway entrance to the garage housing almost 600 square feet of props, lights and frightening music from Midwest Syndicate dedicated to a good, old-fashioned scare.

Karen and Ken will both be in costume for the evening. After all, why should the youngsters have all the fun? “It’s a lifelong dream to terrorize people,” Ken said.

The Andersons will spend up to $1,000 on the presentation.

“If it’s more than that, we’ll have to talk about it,” Karen said.

There is no charge for the scare. They collect free-will donations that cover some of the expenses. Both of them enjoy putting on Nightmare on Buffalo Street each year, but it’s Karen who pays closer attention to the cost of the presentation.

They notice younger children tend to arrive before sunset and the older kids stop by later. The crowds are larger before sunset, when the night air is colder.

A warmer evening has more people stopping by longer after sunset. Parents encourage

their children to enjoy a scare, although there is an exit where a child can be taken out if the presentation is a bit too frightening, Karen said.

This year’s presentation includes a maze leading up to a new special effect. The Andersons say the new presentation is a closely guarded secret. There are no plans, no specifications they follow.

“It’s all in my head,” Ken said.

The Andersons have a handful of family and friends who come to help them each year.

Karen’s mom will be in town from Waseca. This will be the first year Karen’s longtime friend, Cindy Huss won’t be able to make the trek from Vernon Center to welcome people to the Nightmare.

“She’s helped us since the very first one,” Karen said.

Nightmare on Buffalo Street started in Jordan as the Valley Green Haunt of Jordan. It was a combination of static props out of the 8-by-12 foot shed and backyard.

“It was a big hit there and I haven’t even started building any real props yet,” Ken said.

But in 2000, when the Andersons moved to belle Plaine, the real haunting began.

The couple bought a house on Buffalo Street, across from Oakwood Cemetery. The Andersons base the ‘Nightmare’ on the fictional story of houses being built over the original cemetery with the new burial ground being built across the street.

“They moved the headstones, but forgot to move the bodies.

To this day the original residents of Oakwood Cemetery haunt these very grounds with a very foul mood,” Ken said.

“Anyone whom crosses paths with them shall feel their anger and misery like no other.”

Area Man Enjoys the ‘Fun’ of Scaring People Each Halloween Henderson Man Part of Terrifying Troupe at ValleyScare

by Karen Swenson Josh Nelson of Henderson, appears to be a normal, hardworking husband and father of five children … that is until he trades his work clothes for costumes and heavy make up, creating the creepy and terrorizing characters he plays in the Halloween haunt during ValleyScare.

“I have always loved Halloween,” said Nelson. “It’s always been one of my favorite holidays.” And does he enjoy scaring people? “Ooooh yeah!”

Given that over 19,000 people went through the gates of the Shakopee amusement park last Saturday, people do apparently enjoy being scared.

Nelson is just one of the 250350 monsters that occupy 11 different haunted attractions at Valleyfair on weekends during September and October.

“Valleyfair is your classic summer amusement park,” said Matt Hehl, the public relations/communication manager for Valleyfair. “But as we get closer to fall here, the fun takes a terrifying turn.”

During the daytime hours Saturdays and Sundays, Planet Spooky is open for not-soscary Halloween family fun with corn and hay bale mazes, trick or treating across the park, and friendly tours of a vampire castle, along with the ride attractions.

As evening nears, monsters begin to gather for the Halloween haunt. At 6:30 p.m., costumed characters parade through the grounds, performing to the song “Thriller” by Michael Jackson. “It’s a great way to kick off the night and get things rolling,” said Hehl.

“A lot of people show up early just to see that.”

With seven haunted mazes and four scare zones, areas throughout the park are decorated in different themes, whether a toxic waste fallout site, a cemetery or a zombie high school.

By day, Henerson’s Josh Nelson (left) is a hardworking family man. After sunset, he’s spent the past eight years scaring people as one of the many frightening characters at ValleyScare’s at Valleyfair in Shakopee.

“Wherever you are in the park during the evening, you can guarantee you will have a fright come out from somewhere,” Hehl added.

2 p.m. Transformation

Beginning as early as 2 p.m on a performance day, the conversion from mortal human to terrifying monster takes place in the mortuary, where a host of professional make-up artists do what they do best. The wardrobe department supplies costumes for vampires, zombies and all manner of creatures.

Some actors will play the same character through the season, but Nelson, a seasoned pro who started when ValleyScare began in 2006, likes to change it up, usually wearing his own costumes.

“I worked in the Carnie Home until 2012,” he said, playing a variety of evil clowns. Moving over to the Mangler Asylum, where a doctor once conducted experiments which went horribly wrong, and now the patients have taken over, Nelson has been experimenting with different characters. “They shift me around a lot to different rooms … depends on the night,

depends on the prop. I like the flexibility of moving around.

Trying something different out every night.

“It’s fun scaring people,” admits Nelson. “But it is the camaraderie with the people you are working with, too. It really has become a family there.”

Nelson is one of a core group of 20 veteran monsters who come back each year to work the crowds. “This last year we have a lot of really good, new talent that came in.”

Nelson and the other veterans participate in teaching the new talent how to successfully scare people. “We bring them through an entire course, … how to use your voice to scare, how to use props properly, how you always have to be in character and character development.”

While taking his own children to the daytime, family-friendly events of Planet Spooky, Nelson feels they are not quite ready yet for the scary side. Josh and Monica are the parents of Izak, age 9, Ian, age 8, Emmett, age 5, Quinton, age 3 and Mikayla, age 1.

“The older ones are almost getting there. They’ve come to the point where I come home

from work (in full costume) and they aren’t even fazed by it anymore. … One year after work, I stopped in McDonalds and the lady that turned to hand me my sodas, was scared to death of clowns, and she dropped the drinks on her feet. … It happens. Didn’t do it on purpose, but it was satisfying afterwards. … I said I was sorry,” he laughs.

Working long hours for Curbside Landscape and Irrigation out of Savage, Nelson leaves one job for the next, while working seven days a week.

And while he likes to get that extra paycheck, he admits that he’s not doing it for the money, it’s all for the scare…

As a kid growing up in Jordan, Nelson admits he played a few Halloween tricks, “little scares” he calls them, when his friends would come over and plot out a elaborate schemes to scare the trick-or-treaters.

At 34, Nelson is no longer out to scare the youngsters on Halloween, so you are safe to bring your little ones trick-ortreating to his Henderson home on Friday night. Though it may be just a little foggier, a little eerier, amid the decorations on Turner Drive.

Man Found Guilty of Criminal Sexual Conduct Involving Girl A man awaits sentencing after a Scott County District Court jury brought back guilty verdicts on four counts of criminal sexual conduct involving a child.

Thursday (Oct. 23), Emery Scott Whitt of Belle Plaine, was found guilty of criminal sexual conduct with a teenage girl. He lived with the girl’s parents and family in Savage from 2006 through 2008 and also in Chaska. Judge Michael Fahey is scheduled to sentence Whitt Dec. 1.

“We couldn’t be more proud of the victim’s courage in coming forward,” said Scott County Attorney Pat Ciliberto. “Silence is an abuser’s best friend. It is our sincerest hope that this victim’s bravery will serve as encouragement to any other victims of such a crime. By coming forward, criminal acts against children can and will be diminished.”

After a four-day trial that began Monday (Oct. 20), Whitt was found guilty on two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a girl under age 13.

He was also found guilty on two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Prchal (MN# 0395601) Blahnik Law Office, PLLC 16180 Hastings Avenue Suite 201 Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 Attorney for Petitioner Published in the Belle Plaine Herald on Wednesdays, October 29 and November 5, 2014.

Charges against Whitt came after staff at the Midwest Children’s Resource Center in St. Paul evaluated the child in October 2013. The criminal charges state he abused the girl over a four-year period. The child believed the abuse began when she was 5.

The abuse, the charges state, included Whitt making the girl touch him in inappropriate places and him touching her in like fashion. It states Whitt would have the girl touch him inappropriately while he was naked and that he would undress the child.

The charges also state Whitt, 46, “would hit and slap her and tell her not to tell anyone or something else would happen to her.”

The charges against Whitt also included information he was being investigated in 2007 and 2008 for abusing his own children in Texas and that he is not allowed any contact with his own children.

Scott County Human Services warned the parents of the girl in Savage that Whitt should not be allowed to be at home alone with the girl or her four younger siblings.

Whitt was tried in Texas in March of 2012 for sexually abusing his 12-year-old niece.

According to the criminal complaint, the trial ended in a hung jury. A new trial has not yet been scheduled.

Sibley County Board, First Commissioner District The District 1 Sibley County Commissioner race features newcomer Bobbie Harder of Henderson Township vying against Faxon Township board member Matthew McConnell and incumbent Commissioner Jim Nytes of Henderson Township. Nytes is running as a write-in candidate. The district includes Henderson (city) and eastern Sibley County townships of Faxon, Washington Lake, Jessenland and Henderson.

What are the biggest challenges facing Sibley County and the First Commissioner District in the next 5-10 years and how can these be addressed in a cost-effective manner?

Harder: The challenges we face today will continue for several years. This includes roads, bridges, and the management of excessive water runoff. The dam at Titlow Lake is approximately 100 years old. If the dam is compromised or breaks, the water will travel easterly which will severely affect property owners in the district.

Dealing with the increased regulations from state and federal agencies (i.e. EPA, DNR, MNPCA), and how they affect the county needs to be addressed, as they can be detrimental, particularly from the EPA. For example, with the proposed new rules from the EPA, all water or occasional wetland will not be safe from regulation. The EPA’s regulations give farmers and property homeowners no certainty that their farms and yards are ever safe from federal regulation. Failure to comply can cost you $37,500 per violation, per day and that is fact.

Can anyone afford such fines?

Our expectation is that government must be fiscally responsible with our tax dollars. The cost versus benefit of a project must be considered. Using the experience of local business would be my preference.

Many rules and regulations passed by government agencies will affect us financially.

At times, it appears we have no recourse. I will be the voice of the district to contest excessive orders and mandates that affects the farmers, citizens, and our area businesses.

McConnell: The biggest thing that I see is economic development. Currently Sibley County has a population of around 15,100. In 2000, we had around 15,356 and this is not a path of success for the county. We need to plan to attract a good mix of jobs and housing to provide Sibley County with the proper growth strategy. If the county keeps on this track, the cost of our infrastructure alone will leave us heavily burdened.

Nytes: Rebuilding our county’s infrastructure after the recent flooding is a major challenge in the coming years.

For example, bringing County Road 6 out of the flood line is one major focus of mine. The process of the state giving back Highway 93 to our county will also be a challenge. It is protocol that a road must be in good

condition when given from the state to the county. However, we need to ensure that this good condition is fine from our point of view. Culverts will need to be replaced, ditches cleaned, trees trimmed, and areas that are frequently affected by flooding will need to be raised.

We also need to restructure our county’s government. Though this process will be challenging, it has already begun. Cost savings will occur through the consolidation of departments and at the same time no one would be terminated or lost through attrition.

our cities and townships needs to be made readably available. Opportunities for people to promote valued agriculture products at events like farmers’ markets or roll-ins need to continue to occur. We have some of the hardest working people in our country here in our county but they need more opportunities. The Henderson Classic Car Roll-In is an excellent example of a flourishing opportunity that any business, charity or town resident can take advantage of.

McConnell: If elected the thing that would make me think it was a success is to see economic growth and urban sprawl.

Harder: Economic development is done best by the private sector, not the government. The county’s role is to not micromanage our private property or dictate how to conduct our business. I support economically viable forms of energy that lower costs for residents and the county. This is a difficult and complex issue. With the shutdown of many coal plants, it is predicted within the next several years, electric bills will increase significantly and may double. I will do whatever is possible to oppose the increasing mandates, rules, and regulations from the state, which decrease our liberties and freedoms as a citizen. The more money farmers, businesses, and citizens have in their pocket will alone increase economic opportunities.

county’s government. Restructuring is the only way we can control spending in a county like ours whose population is slowly shrinking.

Much of the First Commissioner District received major flooding this spring, causing heavy road damage and impeding economic activity. What options should the county consider to alleviate this issue for residents and businesses in the next flooding event?

McConnell: There was a lot of destruction to the First District as we all saw and experienced. One of the things that I see that could be looked into is cost study of raising the elevation of the Scenic Byway in the low areas.

Nytes: As the current District 1 County Commissioner, I have already started to tackle flooding issues. I have spoken with an engineer who has seen our county roads, and I believe we should and can build our infrastructure to withstand 100-500 years worth of future flooding.

The best part is we can do this using FEMA money currently available to us in wake of the recent flooding. We should build such a long-lasting infrastructure now because we may not get this supportive money after future floods. We need to do these projects right at this time so that it won’t have to be done at the cost of county taxpayers’ dollars later.

Harder: An option for the district to look into is creating holding ponds in different areas of the county. This will assist in preventing surface runoff and erosion due to heavy rains.

Some areas also suffered damage due to the debris, which came down hills and ravines such as carpet, appliances, and other trash. We need a more cost effective way for residents to discard these items.

What should the county’s role be in economic development? Why? Nytes: Hiring Matt Jaunich as county administrator was a significant positive step for Sibley County in economic development. We now have someone in an office position who can act within hours to address new opportunities and questions versus having to wait weeks or months. There’s also more to economic development then just building factories. It’s also reopening businesses and building houses. A list of open buildings, lots and acres in

If elected, what would you like to accomplish for you to consider your term a success?

McConnell: Economic development.

Harder: I would consider my role as a county commissioner a success by influencing county decisions to be more fiscally responsible, hold the line on taxes, and making fact-based decisions on the real needs of the county. Greater success would be progress made regarding the items I have addressed in this questionnaire.

Nytes: In the very near future, I want to raise County Road 6 out of the flood line. I would also want to get Rush River Park looking and running better than ever in the next five years.

We also need to restructure our

Why should voters elect you county commissioner?

Harder: The people of this district should elect me. I have the time and commitment to be an effective county commissioner. I have attended many commissioner and township meetings. In addition, I have been working on building relationships with leaders on a state and federal level. I will listen to you, research the issue, and then recommend sound economical solutions. When working in the field of banking, I gained valuable experience in the areas of auditing, accounting, human resources, and the legal process. This in-depth experience gives me a broad area of understanding. It will be an honor to be your representative at the county level. As a county commissioner, I will work harder on the issues that matter the most to us.

Nytes: I am and will continue to be fully committed to improving the lives of our citizens in our county. It is a full-time job to be a county commissioner, and I have the time, experience and passion to be the District 1 commissioner once again.

I have been very humbled by losing the primary by one vote, and I ask that you write in my name, Jim Nytes, on Election Day. I would especially love to continue my passion of helping the families of Sibley County, especially those with children with special needs, to get the help they require. Sometimes, it is as simple as one phone call. My vision for the future of Sibley County is a leaner, more compassionate government that listens to everyone’s concerns.

I may just be an old farm boy, but I love my job and my main focus will continue to be to look out for the people of our county.

McConnell: I feel that people should elect me commissioner because I am a lifetime resident of District 1 and have served on the Faxon Township board since 2008. I have already have training, budgeting and experience on some of what the commissioners have on their agenda.

We have never heard of a parent limiting the time a child spends in front of a newspaper...

Green Isle City Council

Cologne Mayor, City Council Mayor

Incumbent Matt Lein is challenged by Scott Williams, a member of the council who is in the midst of a term. If Lein wins, Williams will remain on the city council. A Williams victory would create a vacancy to be filled via appointment.

Matt Lein

Lein has lived in Cologne for 13 years. He is married with two children.

Why are you seeking re-election as mayor of Cologne and what, if elected, are your goals and how can they be realistically accomplished in a costeffective manner?

Cologne has been through some tough times with the recession. It is very important to have a strong leader to aide Cologne through the transition period back to growth. We will need to revisit the strategic plan to ensure that Cologne has a good plan to grow and to provide a great place to live for the residents. Cologne’s new industrial park would bring more jobs into the city, bringing more growth to our city.

What needs improvement with city operations for residents and how would you credibly improve it?

Our infrastructure is a big issue for Cologne. Making sure the water, sewer and roads will stay in good repair and work as they have for over 100 years. Keeping up with the demands of Cologne’s residents is an issue that gets more demanding each year.

Parkland, senior housing and taxes are big issues I hear about. I will keep the parkland and senior housing issues alive and continue to work toward a resolution for these problems. Lowering taxes may be possible if we continue running Cologne efficiently by finding new ways to keep costs down and by promoting growth.

Why are you the best choice to lead the city council?

Between the planning commission, city council, and mayor, I have 11 years experience. My family and I volunteer and attend fund-raisers to support our local organizations. I make myself available by phone, mail, e-mail, in person, and now facebook. com/mayormattlein.

I enjoy helping others find workable solutions to problems.

Scott Williams

adjust the budget while prioritizing our spending. I would like to see additional funding set aside for roadwork and sewer systems.

In the future, they will need updating and maintenance. I would like to get a strong team together to work on projects to better the community. I oppose tax increases unless they are absolutely necessary for the infrastructure. We need to bring businesses to Cologne.

Why are you the best choice to lead the city council?

I have also served on the planning commission for five years.

Voters should consider me because I have the experience needed to get things done for the overall good of the city.

Councilors

Two seats on the city council are up for election. Councilors Don Meyer is seeking re-election. Kyle Evenson, who was appointed to the council last year, and Carol Szaroletta are also running for the two seats.

Don Meyer

Married with three adult children.

Why are you seeking re-election to the city council and what are your goals and how can they be realistically accomplished in a cost-effective manner?

I enjoy working with the city council and council members.

I spent the past 12 years on the council and seen a lot of changes in the city. I presently serve on the planning commission and I am the acting mayor.

What needs improvement with city operations for residents and how would you credibly improve it?

Residential, business and job growth. We are working on an attempt to secure a motel and restaurant in our city. With Highway 212 and how close we are to the Twin Cities this would be an excellent chance to promote Cologne and businesses in town as well as create some jobs. We need to spend money updating water, sewer lines and some residential streets. With new home construction picking up, we should do some of the projects that we put on hold. We also need to promote some industry and get our industrial park going to add new business and secure more jobs.

Tigers 3, Watertown-M 0 Nine days after sweeping the Royals in the MRC finale in Watertown, the Tigers did so again Thursday night even more convincingly by counts of 25-11, 25-12, 25-13.

“This was a great start to this season’s playoff run,” said Belle Plaine coach Cassie Koch. “We played consistent, high-level volleyball all night long, regardless of which players were on the floor for us. I was very happy to see the girls respect the importance of each playoff game and fine-tuning our rotations in a quick win.”

Mariena Hayden had 19 kills for the Tigers, followed by Dakotah Poitra (11), Kaylee Hentges (7), Amelia Kahle (2), Danielle Taylor (2), Taylor Kruger (1) and Ally Anderson (1).

Tigers Beat S.E., Worthington, Play for Section Title Friday

by Dan Ruud The third-seeded Belle Plaine High School football team won two Section 3AA Tournament games in five days last week, surviving No. 8 seed Sibley East 28-26 at home on Tuesday night before winning easily at No. 2 Worthington 58-25 on Saturday afternoon.

Those victories have propelled the Tigers to this Friday night’s section championship game against No. 1 seed Blue Earth Area 7 p.m. this Friday in Blue Earth. Blue Earth Area, which received a first-round bye, blanked No. 4 seed Fairmont 34-0 on Saturday. The Bucs had 408 yards of offense, 355 of those coming on the ground.

Luke Schavey and Jacob Johnson had 134 and 123 yards, respectively.

Belle Plaine defeated Blue Earth Area 33-7 in last year’s section semifinals before bowing to Fairmont in the section championship.

Blue Earth Area was the state Class 3A champion two years ago before going through a rebuilding year of sorts last season. This year, the Bucs, known for their “ground and pound style of offense and stifling defense,” have a record of 8-1, their only loss coming against Class 4A Marshall 28-7 in the first game of the season. Since then, the Bucs have won eight in a row – Redwood Valley (26-8), United South Central (49-7), Fairmont (21-7), Windom (45-0), Pipestone (14-0), New Ulm (35-6), Luverne (31-7) and Fairmont (34-0).

In fact, Sibley East started

the game with an onside kick, which it recovered near midfield. But the Wolverines went three and out and punted to the Tigers, who then drove 75 yards and scored on a 9-yard run by quarterback Luke Narveson.

Former Emma Krumbee’s Waitress Now Miss Michigan USA

Lights, Camera, Action A production and film crew was in Belle Plaine last week filming a new Cenex commercial.

The commercial included elements of a small community that’s a great place to live. Cenex chose Belle Plaine for the commercial from 1,400 potential locations across 19 states. Above, the crew filmed players on the Belle Plaine Town Tigers baseball team recreating time chatting in the dugout at Tiger Park. Players were also filmed playing catch with the scoreboard and Cenex signs in the background. Below, community members were filmed dancing at the Vets Club. The commercial is scheduled to air regionally after Jan. 1, 2015.

It’s a long way from Belle Plaine to Port Huron, Mich. But for Rashontae Wawrzyniak, the summer she spent working at Emma Krumbee’s in 2011 was a learning experience along the way to becoming Miss Michigan, USA. Wawrzyniak – the daughter of Belle Plaine native Scott Wawrzyniak and granddaughter of Lauie Ag Wawrzyniak -- will represent Michigan competing for the title of Miss USA next year.

The 24-year-old Wawrzyniak was recently named Miss Michigan, USA at the McMarran Theater. She was one of 83 women judged in swimsuit, evening gown, and interviews before a sold-out audience that included her parents and grandparents. She was also named the pageant’s Miss Photogenic USA honoree.

Wawrzyniak graduated from Siena Univeersity with a degree in psychology.

BPHS Winter Eligibility Meeting Nov. 3 Belle Plaine High School will hold its second seasonal eligibility meeting of the 2014-15 school year on Monday, Nov. 3 at 6:30 p.m. in the school’s south gym.

This meeting is for all participants in grades 7-12 for winter activities, including boys’ and girls’ basketball, wrestling, dance team, speech, one-act

play and robotics.

Online registration is available for all activities at www.belleplaineactivities.com. For more information, call 873-2412 or e-mail msparby@belleplaine. k12.mn.us.

All student participants should report for the meeting along with one of their parents/guard-

ians.

At the meeting, Activities Director Mindy Sparby will share school rules regarding academic eligibility and attendance, etc. Following a short program, activity groups will go to their respective rooms/areas where head coaches/advisors will share specific information regarding their activity.

Local Business (continued fom page 1)

support from the University of Minnesota Extension Agency.

Last Tuesday night’s orientation program was led by Michael Darger, program director of BR&E, and Chelsea Alger, Belle Plaine community development director.

“Existing firms are the best sources of growth we have in our community. We want to find out how we can help them to grow. We have a great team in place to work on this and we expect excellent results,” said Kelly Melo, Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce executive director and BR&E visitation coordinator.

The program is designed to stimulate economic development by assisting existing industry, according to Darger.

He pointed out that to assist industry, a community must first identify industries’ needs and problems and then address those concerns to improve the local business climate.

Volunteers will visit targeted businesses and manufacturers Nov. 3-26 to present a series of interview questions that are designed to identify industries’ concerns and any “red flags” that may arise. The interview guide has been tested by several other Minnesota communities, including Coon Rapids, New London-Spicer and Barnesville. Alger emphasized that the information gathered through the survey process will be strictly confidential.

The city of Belle Plaine is seeking individuals to participate as volunteer business visitors. The time commitment is fairly minimal but the business visits are the key to making this program a success. If more visitors are willing to participate, more businesses can be visited.

If you are interested, the time commitment would be to attend a Volunteer Visitor Training session and conduct two business visits. The training sessions are scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 6 at 5:30 p.m., or Friday, Nov. 7 at 7 a.m.

For more information about the BR&E program or to become a volunteer visitor, contact Alger (calger@ci.belleplaine.mn.us) or Blue (lblue@ci.belleplaine. mn.us), or call 952-873-5553.
