B.P. School Board Eyes Slight Reduction of 2016 Tax Levy Aiming to keep the property tax levy free of radical shifts and rebounds, the Belle Plaine School Board is planning a slight reduction of its proposed levy for the coming year. Meeting in a workshop Monday evening (Sept. 14), new Superintendent Ryan Laager and Chuck Keller, the district’s business manager, explained plans to set the preliminary levy 1.77 percent lower than a year ago. Laager and Keller told the board they avoided making dramatic cuts to the levy to avoid a rebound affect that might trigger an increase the following year. Their concern, Laager said, is that taxpayers might not recall the year of reduction when faced with an increase. The district will formally set its levy at its Sept. 28 meeting in the District Center. “We don’t like it to go up too much and we don’t like it to go down too much,” he told the school board. The proposed 1.8 percent reduction in the property tax levy Belle Plaine’s Annabelle Hanson (lower left) took a little extra time to check the bottom of means the owner of a house ducks for prizes in the duck pond at Our Lady of the Prairie’s Fall Festival Sunday (Sept. 13). valued for taxation purposes at The festival included dinner, raffles, bingo, a country store games and more.

in debt-reduction aid from the state. The additional 2 percent in per-student aid lawmakers OK’d last spring does not impact the property tax levy, Keller said. The general fund is increasing by 1.58 percent to approximately $1.6 million. The district is able to reduce the growth of the general fund by trimming much of money it will allocate to retirement benefits for a shrinking pool of veteran teachers hired before 1989. Another reduction is the Belle Plaine School District’s share (about $19,100) of lease payments saved by returning programs from the SouthWest Metro Educational Cooperative to member districts. The district is also planning to eliminate its health and safety levy ($167,449.84) in favor of a long-term facilities maintenance plan that will allocate

Final Assessment Hearing for Street Project Next Monday The Belle Plaine City Council will hold the final assessment public hearing for this year’s street and utility improvement project shortly after 6:30 p.m. next Monday at Belle Plaine City Hall, 218 North Meridian Street downtown. All affected property owners are invited to attend the hearing, and if they like, comment on their assessment.
The project consisted of street reconstruction and utility improvements on Forest Street West between Grove Street and the railroad right-of-way, and Elk Street between Court and Forest streets (one block). The work is substantially complete, which means that all streets in the project area are ready for use. Other minor, punch-list type work will be completed at a later date.

Workers dug up a small section of blacktop in the alley south of Main and east of Meridian streets Monday (Sept. 14) to install a fiber optic line from the Frontier Communications building to The Lutheran Home campus in Belle Plaine. The fiber optic line should be operable in the next few weeks.
The Lutheran Home Bringing Fiber Optic Cable to Campus Preparing itself to better serve its residents and provide its staff with enhanced and more secure communications, The Lutheran Home is investing in fiber optics. The past few weeks, a team of workers has been running an underground fiber optics line from Frontier Communications building along Chestnut Street west to Kingsway via public right-of-way in the alley south of East and West Main streets. The fiber optics line is within a 2-inch pipe below the alley. “We’re positioning ourselves for the future,” said Mari-

Engagement
Church Cross to be Refurbished Gary Crosby Construction was hired to remove the cross from the rooftop of Belle Plaine’s historic Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration last week. Pictured with the cross, which for decades has overlooked Belle Plaine from along Highway 25, is Gary Crosby. He then gave the cross to the Belle Plaine Public Works Department, which will refurbish it before it is returned to the top of the church. The project is part of a continuing restoration project for the 147-year-old church.

Preliminarily, Scott County Increases 2016 Property Tax Levy If Scott County’s proposed property tax levy for 2016 makes the jump from suggestion to reality, the county will be investing in staffing, capital projects and initiatives long relegated to the back burner. Tuesday morning (Sept. 15), the county board approved a preliminary levy increase of 3½ percent, a jump that will increase the levy to $60.8 million. The proposed increase for 2016, if it is formally approved in December, will add about $22 to the average valued house in Scott County. The average house’s value is $245,00. It saw a 5 percent increase in valuation for taxation. The increase impacts about 17,000 of the county’s 42,911 houses. The average house that gained 5 to 10 percent in valuation will see the county’s share
of property taxes increase by $85 in 2016. Just over 4,500 houses in Scott County that lost up to 5 percent of valuation will see a tax decrease if the preliminary levy is ultimately approved. The additional revenue is intended to help fund 19 staffing positions, some of which are funded by the property tax levy. The money will also help fund transportation projects and support investments the county made in parks. The levy also helps support the county’s proposed operating budget. The county is considering a $93.67 million operating budget, a 6.3 percent increase. The biggest area of increase is in criminal justice. The county is considering a $1.86 million increase in its criminal justice division (7.9 percent increase) and a $1.7 million increase (6½
percent increase) in health and human services. The county could still reduce the proposed levy increase. It can’t increase it above the proposed increase of increase of 3½ percent.

Plant Now for a Beautiful Garden Now and in the Future by Melinda Myers Don’t pack away that shovel and trowel. Fall is a great time to plant a few new additions in the landscape. Here are just a few ideas for adding immediate and long term beauty to your garden. Add cool season annuals like pansies, snapdragons, ornamental kale and stocks to brighten the fall garden. Those in milder regions will enjoy them throughout the winter. Consider adding cold, hardy pansies. They provide color in the fall garden, survive most winters, and are back blooming in the spring just as the snow melts. Fall is also a good time to plant perennials, trees and shrubs. The soil is warm and the air cooler, so the plants are less stressed and establish more quickly. Select plants suited to the growing conditions and be sure to give them plenty of room to reach their mature size. Plant trees so the root flare, the place where the roots curve away from the trunk, is even with the soil surface. Dig a hole, the same depth as the rootball, and two to five times wider. Roughen the sides of the hole and backfill with the existing soil. Water thoroughly and spread a 2- to 3-inch layer
of mulch over the soil surface, keeping the mulch away from the tree trunk. Follow a similar planting procedures for shrubs. Plant these so the crown, the place where the stems meet the roots, is even with the soil surface. And be sure to keep the mulch away from the stems. Plant daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and other bulbs in fall for extra color next spring. Set the bulbs at a depth of two to three times their height deep. Then cover them with soil and sprinkle on a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer, like Milorganite (milorganite.com). This organic nitrogen fertilizer promotes rooting without stimulating fall growth subject to winter kill. Start planting spring flowering bulbs after the nighttime temperatures hover between 40 and 50 degrees. Be patient – waiting until the soil cools reduces the risk of early sprouting that often occurs during a warm fall. Those tired of battling the animals may want to plant resistant bulbs such as daffodils, hyacinths, Fritillaria, alliums, Camassia, glory-of-the snow, snow drops, squills, and grape hyacinths. You may find it is easier to avoid the problem than battle the animals with repellents and scare tactics.

City Council Finally Locates Splash Pad
Water was the topic of the evening at the Cologne City Council’s Sept. 8 meeting. The quality of drinking water in Cologne has never been one of the hallmarks the city uses to draw new residents and businesses to town. Last week, the Cologne City Council approved conducting a study on a water treatment plant and well as an initial step toward financing the improvement. The city does not currently treat water pumped through its municipal wells to houses and businesses. Council members are aware of the complaints about the municipal water’s taste and stains the untreated water creates. In a city that wants to grow, both residentially and commercially, improving the quality of drinking water is important. But the council is in no hurry to take on significant debt to do so. As an initial step, Cologne council members approved its engineering firm, Bolton & Menk, to complete raw water testing, conduct a pilot study of the city’s drinking water, and begin preliminary design work on a treatment facility. The firm estimates the three steps could cumulatively cost up to $33,500. The raw water testing will test the water to determine the extent of treatment of iron and manganese in the city’s water. The pilot study will use a portable water treatment facility to treat small amounts of water with various filters to compare different types of treatment systems. Preliminary design of the facility would use information from the testing and treatment to
School Board
(continued from page 1) all levy is a 3½ percent cut in debt service. The board will reduce its levy for bonded debt by $109,818.92. The district’s community education fund is proposed to increase by $377.04 to $116,241.30 – a jump of .33 percent. The district tries to keep community education at or near breaking even, Keller said. The overall property tax levy represents about one-fourth of the district’s total budget. The rest of the funding arrives in the form of per-student aid.
iPad Performance
With nearly all of the district’s students having picked up their school-issued iPads, Laager and the district’s administrators are working on ways to allow staff and students to make better use of the devices. As the new superintendent visits classrooms to observe learning, he wants teachers and students making good use of applications available through the iPads. So far, he’s been pleased to see teachers linking curriculum to the technology. Laager wants to visit every classroom by Thanksgiving, a goal he admits might be overly ambitious. Last year, the school district invested over $1 million over four years in the iPads. Now in the second year of a four-year plan, he wants to see the investment pay dividends on student achievement.
A Change in Co-op
help determine the possible size of the plant, site options, filter options, raw water line needs and storage needs. It would also help determine other treatment options, topographic and soil borings for a possible site. The preliminary design is the biggest chunk of preliminary testing costs, covering up to $25,000 of the potential $33,500. Cologne would consider a bond issued on the city’s behalf by the Minnesota Public Finance Agency (PFA). The agency would cover a bond for the $5.7 million well and water treatment facility project. Cologne didn’t qualify for a bond for the treatment facility alone, said Jake Saulsbury, an engineer with Bolton & Menk. The testing and preliminary design work will take two to four months. Should the city decide to move forward with the project, final design work would be ongoing next year. Bids to build it could be awarded in 2016 with construction running from two to three years.
Splash Pad Finds a Home
The council, after some of its members visited City Square Park, finally decided where it would locate Cologne’s next recreational amenity, a splash pad. The council had planned to put the splash pad – a playground with re-circulated water squirting from various pipes and play structures -- for a section of the downtown park east of the water tower, but had to move it when a water pipe was discovered running through the area. The discovery of a communications cable created another site switch. Now, the council settled on a section of the park west of the water tower. Council members
were concerned about the potential impact a 50-foot splash pad might have on the park during Glad Days. They’re also concerned about the impact a busy park might have on nearby residents. The Park is also home to Fritz Field and the Cologne Hollanders baseball team. Preliminary work on the splash pad can begin this fall. It should be completed next spring. The city had initially hoped the facility would be open for Glad Days in July and summer use, drawing more people to Cologne. But an unexpected review by the Minnesota Department of Health pushed the $180,000 project out beyond Glad Days. A fence will surround the splash pad. Mayor Scott Williams and Councilor Jeff McInnis insisted the splash pad stay within the established budget. In other action at the Sept. 8 meeting, the Cologne City Council: • Paid bills totaling $157,258.26. • Granted the Cologne Lions Club’s request for a temporary on-sale liquor license and a temporary gambling premises permits for the Oktoberfest festival Oct. 24. • Approved a contract with the Carver County Sheriff’s Office for policing services in the city. The 2016 cost is $42,075. • Approved a contract for prosecution services with the Carver County Attorney’s Office. The fee is based on the amount the service is used. • Accepted a proposal from KLM Engineering Inc. for repairs to the city’s 150,000gallon water tower. KLM Engineering of Lake Elmo will clean out the tank to repair several items at a cost of $7,800. The tower will be disinfected before it is refilled.
SCHS Seeks Sponsors for Upcoming Malt vs. Hops Event The growth of local breweries in our state makes it seem like we’ve taken a step back in time when every community boasted about their local brew.

On Thursday, Oct. 1, beginning 7 p.m. at Turtles’ 1890 Social Center in Shakopee, guests will enjoy a social hour, followed by a lively presentation by Doug Hoverson, author of “Land of Amber Waters: History of Brewing in Minnesota.” The evening also includes the opportunity to capture a snapshot of the event in an “oldtime” photo booth, collect a souvenir pint beer glass to take home, and take part in a very unique silent auction. Proceeds from the event support the Scott County Historical Society. Sponsorships are available for this event at platinum, photo booth, entertainment, and part-
ner levels with various recognition opportunities.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA
Thirty Years Ago This Week
Google This A local farm couple, Lester and Rose Otto, pictured in the Sept. 18, 1985 Herald, appeared in a nationally-televised Chevrolet Cavalier RS Sedan commercial. The couple, who farmed four miles south of Belle Plaine, were filmed waving from beside a roadside fruit and vegetable stand. The Elmer and Marvel Stier farm, located 1 1/2 miles south of Belle Plaine, served as the backdrop. Note: The commercial can be viewed on YouTube by Googling “1986 Chevy Cavalier RS Sedan commercial.” It took all spring and summer but finally the firemen, city council, architect and financial consultant hammered out a package that would provide Belle Plaine with its new fire hall. The building’s dimensions would be 104 by 104 feet, which was originally planned, with four bays. Once completed, the building would be functional but under the plan accepted by the council, $31,396, mostly in interior finishing, would be removed from the contract. The firemen pledged to complete the building themselves. Due to higher than expected construction costs, cost-saving measures had to be taken. The original bid was $301,300. The Belle Plaine Knights of Columbus were planning to hold their 75th celebration on Columbus Day (Oct. 22) at Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic Church. Major General Patrick Hessian of Washington, D.C., would be the guest speaker. Father Pat grew up in Belle Plaine. Leo and Marion Fogarty of Belle Plaine were among some 250 Farmers Union members who flew to Washington to lobby members of Congress for a favorable farm bill. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Kes of Sand Creek Township were named Scott County Conservation Farmers of the Year. Scott County DFL Chairman Ray Joachim announced that Congressman Tim Penny would be the featured guest speaker at the DFL’s annual hog roast at South Park in Belle Plaine on Sept. 22. Claude (Bud) Harder, 71, of rural Belle Plaine, passed away Sept. 15 at St. Francis Regional Medical Center in Shakopee. The Harders had moved to a hobby farm southeast of Belle Plaine where he enjoyed working with horses. Belle Plaine’s first annual “Wheels for Life” bike-a-thon was set for that coming Saturday. The chairman of the benefit for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, Naomi Schultz, said riders, hikers and joggers would be covering a mile-long course in town, starting at South Park. The Belle Plaine High School football team lost at Mankato
Loyola 14-0 that Friday night. Shawn Buesgens and Andy Fogarty had 22 and 18 tackles, respectively, for the Tigers. Eric Lockrem rushed for 59 yards. The Tiger volleyball team kept its win streak alive by sweeping both Arlington and Norwood. Against Arlington, the scores were 15-7, 15-6, 15-7. Laurie Wolpern had nine kills and Mitzi Westlund added six, followed by Ann Klehr and Deb Zabel with four apiece. Julie Halquist had 39 sets, 10 of which were assists. Ann Siegle had 13 digs and Tami Kankelfitz 11. The Tiger tennis team ran its winning streak to five by beating both Le Center and Faribault Shattuck by 5-0 scores. The Belle Plaine Golf Open, which took place in New Prague, attracted about 100 area golfers. The low gross for women was won by Marilyn Mueller and for the men it was Greg Rappe.

B.P. Men Use Sports to Bring Message of Hope to Inmates Group Regularly Visits Federal, State Prisons
The trips to prisons in Minnesota and Wisconsin are journeys a group of Belle Plaine men look forward to making during the year. They travel to state and federal prisons to play softball, basketball, dodgeball and other sports. But the games are a minor part of the trip. The visits are a vehicle for delivering a message of faith in the future to men who could easily lose hope. The visitors want the inmates to know they are not forgotten. Belle Plaine residents Jon Brandenburg, Cory Wolf, Chad DeYoung, Tom Gillespie, Jim Barringer and Belle Plaine native Joe Pint are among a team of men from Friendship Church in Shakopee that makes regular trips to state the federal prison in Sandstone, Minn. and Wisconsin state prisons in Black River Falls, Stanley and Prairie du Chien. They’ll play ball and, with anyone interested, talk about God’s love for the men despite the crimes that resulted in their incarceration. The men on the trip will talk with any of the inmates about anything the inmate wants to talk about, DeYoung said. “We’re an outlet for them. We give them a chance to talk to someone from the outside who’s not going to judge them,� he said. “God’s grace abounds us. It’s enjoyable to talk with them.� Prayer follows each contest. “This is a treat for these guys,� said Brandenburg, who makes six trips a year to the federal minimum-security facility in Sandstone and a dozen trips overall each year. The prisons typically have in-house leagues. The church team will bring the best collection of players it can consisting of players willing to play against and talk with inmates. The Friendship Church team includes players from different leagues, players the Friendship team has played against in tournaments. There’s usually three to six different churches represented on each trip the team makes, Brandenburg said. “We’re an outside team that comes in to play them,� he said. The visitors must demonstrate over time their genuine concern for the inmates. “We earn the right to talk with them because we play sports.�

B.P. Area Schools Enjoying Some Enrollment Increases While Belle Plaine public schools forecast a few more students through its doors this year, some area school districts are seeing greater enrollment jumps as the 2015-16 academic year begins. Belle Plaine expected 1,609 students through its doors this past week, an increase of seven students in K-12 public school enrollment from last year. Enrollment is not official until Oct. 1, said Superintendent Ryan Laager. The state bases its initial student aid payments based on Oct. 1 enrollment. In New Prague, the public school district’s enrollment jumped by 2.1 percent to 4,044. Sibley East’s enrollment is down slightly, from 1,268 students last year to 1,257 this year. Gains in Gaylord’s elementary classes were offset by reduced enrollment in Gaylord’s junior
high and Arlington’s elementary grades. At Tri-City United, the district’s K-12 enrollment increases from 1,902 students last year to 1,979 students this year. The district gained 35 more high schoolers in 2015-16 over the previous school year. Jordan has “about 30” additional students this year, said Superintendent Matt Helgerson. The district’s overall opening enrollment is at 1,816. Central Schools in Norwood Young America is also enjoying growth. The district opened the school year with 1,003 students in kindergarten through 12th grades, said Brian Corlett, superintendent of the Central School District. Last year, the district had 965 students. The growth has been evenly spread between the district’s elementary and high school buildings,
he said. The Chaska-based Eastern Carver County School District, which includes East Union Elementary about eight miles northeast of Belle Plaine, opened the 2015-16 school year with 9,294 students. The previous year, Eastern Carver County opened the year with 9,265. Slight growth in kindergarten helped the district overcome smaller classes elsewhere as Eastern Carver County gained 29 students. The Shakopee School District saw its enrollment climb from 7,702 students in 2014-15 to 7,984 in 2015-16. The biggest gains the district saw was 225 more students in the senior high school grades. The gain erased a slight enrollment decrease, 27 students district wide, in Shakopee’s kindergarten through fifth grades.
B.P. Schools Support Staff Union to Vote on Contract This Week Clerical staff, para-professionals, custodians and other members of the Belle Plaine Education Support Professionals (BPESP) union will be voting this week on a two-year contract that includes increases in wages and benefits. The proposed agreement negotiated between representatives of the union and the Belle Plaine School Board includes 3.64 percent increase in wages for 2015-16 and a 3.85 percent increase in 2016-17 With benefits, the increase is larger in the second year of the contract.
With benefits, the increase is 4.26 percent in the first year and 3.68 in the agreement’s second year. The district is putting an additional 25 cents per hours into pay for night/weekend work and an additional 60 cents per hour for union members with over 22 years of service. The agreement also increases paid personal leave from one day to two as long as the BPESP agrees to three-day notice when someone will be on leave and agrees to cap the number of union members on leave each
day to 5 percent. The contract will cost the district about $1.9 million in 2015-16 and $1.97 million in 2016-17. The BPESP is typically completed after the contract the Belle Plaine Education Association (BPEA), the union representing the district’s teachers, negotiates with the school board. The BPEA and school board are still in negotiations. The district is also increasing its contribution to retirement compensation.
Chaska School District Hoping Retiring Debt Will Sway Voters The Eastern Carver County School District is asking voters to approve a tax hike that will pay for both additional per-student funding and bonds to pay for new facilities. The Chaska-based school district, which includes Carver, East Union and much of San Francisco Township just northeast of Belle Plaine, wants voters to OK an additional $450 per student excess operating levy, an increase to $829.19 per student or $8.87 for the district million annually. It also wants voters to approve a $66.7 mil-
lion bond that will fund a new elementary school in Carver, additional classrooms at Victoria Elementary School, a domed activities facility and other projects. If both questions pass, a house valued for taxation at $300,000 Legal Notices – considered average in the school district -- would see an increase of about $165 in the district’s portions of its annual property taxes, the Chaska Herald recently reported. If only the operating levy passes, the increase on the $300,000 house

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

Winiecki Named Scott County’s Highway Engineer Having served as Scott County’s interim highway engineer for nearly a year, the county board recently appointed Tony Winiecki to the position on a regular basis. Last week, Lezlie Vermillion, the county’s deputy administrator, said Winiecki was the hands-down choice for the job. She told commissioners that after interviews with co-workers and colleagues in other departments throughout the region, removing the ‘interim tag’ from Winiecki’s title was an easy decision. “Tony has done a good job of being innovative,” Vermillion said. Winiecki replaces Mitch Ras-
mussen. He left Scott County’s employ to work for the Minnesota Department of Transportation last year. Winiecki will earn a salary of $119,500. His contract runs through April of 2016. He could then be appointed to a four-year term as county highway engineer. Winiecki’s worked for the county since 2009. Commissioners have lauded his work. Mike Beard of Shakopee said Winiecki’s common sense approach to problem solving is impressive. Winiecki graduated from the University of Minnesota. He’s worked in engineering for 25 years, 18 in the public sector.
Chaska Begins Berm Project to Protect Venerable Ballpark The City of Chaska has begun hauling dirt fill to build a berm to protect the city’s historic baseball park from all but the most severe flooding. The city is building a $300,000 mound on the west, south and east sides of the venerable ballpark. The berm will be 30 feet wide and about 8 feet high. Work on the embankment itself should be completed in the next few weeks, the Chaska Herald recently reported. Landscaping work associated with the berm should be completed next
spring. The raised bank should provide significant protection from flooding, said Chaska City Administrator Matt Podhradsky. Cleanup and damage estimates are approximately $75,000 to $100,000 per flood. In 2014, the federal government contributed $70,000 of the $100,000 bill for cleaning up the June flood. Fill for the berm will come from construction projects in Waconia and a storm water management project in downtown Chaska.

Belle Plaine Splits Two MRC Matches
by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School tennis team split a pair of Minnesota River Conference matches last week, losing at Le Sueur-Henderson 6-1 on Tuesday before bouncing back to defeat Sibley East 5-2 on Thursday. The Tigers then dropped all three matches at Saturday’s invitational in St. James. Belle Plaine was scheduled to travel to Tri-City United for a MRC match Tuesday after this edition of the Herald went to press. St. Peter and Jordan are scheduled to visit the Tigers next Monday and Tuesday, respectively. LS-H 6, Tigers 1 The Tigers had the tough task of traveling to Le Sueur-Henderson last Tuesday to take on the defending MRC champion Giants and came home with their second conference loss in as many outings this season, falling 6-1. Belle Plaine’s lone victory came at No. 4 singles, where Kiersten Skelley, a freshman, upended junior Janie Schwartz 6-2, 6-3. At No. 1 singles, Belle Plaine junior Ireland Lambrecht gave reigning MRC player of the year and state qualifier Carlie Brandt, a senior, a tough match but succumbed 3-6, 4-6. Katlin Sannan dropped her No. 2 singles match to Breanna Schug 3-6, 1-6, while Caitlin Preusser was beaten by Kylie Dunning by the same counts at No. 3 singles. In doubles play, the Giants won all three in straight sets, but had to work hard for the win in the No. 2 match, where the Tigers’ Sarah Luskey and Lauren Murphy fell to Acy Adamzak and Erica Cronk 6-7, 4-6.

(continued from page 15) 48-yard TD run by Waseca that was erased by a penalty and a late Belle Plaine drive that ended with an interception deep in Waseca territory. Despite all that went wrong for Belle Plaine in the first half, Waseca led by just two scores at halftime. Neither team could do much offensively through most of the third quarter until Waseca went on a 65-yard drive, culminating on a 4-yard TD run by quarterback Nick Dufault. The two-point conversion failed but the Bluejays had a 20-0 cushion with just 31 seconds left in the third quarter. The Tigers, who had some 80 yards in penalties, finally started clicking offensively to begin the fourth quarter and quickly went 58 yards, with running back Marcus Walsh scoring on a 10-yard run. Ruben Baltierrez’s season-long success of booting extra points continued and Belle Plaine was within 20-7 with 10:07 left in the game. The Tigers then chased the Bluejays’ offense off the field quickly with a three-and-out and got the ball back at their own 21 yard line. But Belle Plaine could do little and was stopped on downs at its own 37 yard line with about seven minutes to play. The next time the Tigers got the ball it was at their own 3 yard line with only a few minutes left. A pass and run play from quarterback Luke Narveson to wide receiver Jonny Vinkemeier allowed Belle Plaine to get downfield in a hurry, and Narveson capped the 97-yard TD drive with a 6-yard keeper. Baltierrez’s kick made it 20-14 with 2:03 left in the game. The Tigers, with its bench and nearby cheering section the loudest they’d been all night, attempted an onside kick that was recovered by the Bluejays near midfield. The Tigers, still with three timeouts remaining, needed a quick stop defensively, but instead Dufault, on a keeper, found an opening in the secondary and raced 36 yards to the end zone for the dagger, making it 26-14 with 1:04 left. The Tigers managed to

Our attackers pulled through in long rallies and put the ball away when needed.” Hayden was the go-to player more this match than the previous two and she answered the call with a season-high 19 kills. She also had 14 digs. Others hammering home kills for the Tigers were Poitra (9), Hentges (7), Koepp (3) and Taylor (1).

Johnston. “They were able to control the ball in the first quarter with a nine-minute opening drive and it took us a while to respond. The kids kept fighting and with a minute left in the fourth we had a chance to get the ball back and tie it up. But we just didn’t step up and make a play. “It was frustrating to run only three plays in the first quarter, but to end up with over 60 offensive plays for the game shows how well we can function if we cut down on the errors. We are really going to focus this week on ourselves and fixing the number of mistakes we made on offense. Defensively, we played outstanding at times but we need that consistency in our effort all night long. It will serve as a great learning experience for the rest of the season as we gear up toward the playoffs,” Johnston continued. Next up for the Tigers is a home game against New Ulm, which is 0-4 this season. The Eagles lost at home to St. Peter 27-6 Friday night, which was preceded by losses to Marshall (49-0), Tri-City United (49-7) and Pipestone (54-12).

Tigers Fall to by Bluejays
by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School football team’s hope of a 4-0 record at the midway point of the regular season was run down at Waseca Friday night by a powerful rushing attack that amassed 269 yards on nearly 60 carries. The Bluejays, who improved to 3-1 with a 26-14 victory over the Tigers, accomplished that against a defense that had dictated its first three opponents during blowout victories. Waseca got the ball to begin
the game and used a lot of time to establish things to come. The Bluejays consumed all but three minutes of the opening quarter, marching 84 yards in 17 plays (16 rushing) for the go-ahead score, the final yard coming on a plunge by running back Hank Hagen. The extra-point attempt was blocked, one of the few things that would go wrong for the home team in the first half. The Tigers, in their usual nohuddle offense, had just three plays their first possession before being forced to punt. The Bluejays then engineered a
pressure at the net early in the match but were able to adjust and leave Montgomery with a sweep nonetheless. “TCU presented us with some big blocking and challenged our offense throughout the night,” said Tigers coach Cassie Koch. “Fortunately, as our serve receive improved as the match went on, their defense couldn’t keep up. We played a consistent match – nothing flashy, nothing breaking down.” Mariena Hayden led Belle Plaine with 15 kills, 13 digs and two ace serves. Dakotah Poitra added 11 kills and seven digs, while Kaylee Hentges had nine kills. Ally Anderson and McKenzie Koepp had the Tigers’ other kills. Elizabeth Johnson had a team-high 19 digs and Danielle Taylor had 26 set assists, seven digs and one ace serve. Taylor Kruger contributed five
digs and one ace serve. Paige Narveson had six set assists and two digs. Tigers 3, Jordan 0 It’s always a pumped up atmosphere when the Tigers and Jaguars square off, whether it be at Belle Plaine or Jordan. On Thursday night, a little more was on the line as the two teams entered the contest ranked high among the state Class 2A teams, with the Tigers coming in at the top of heap. Belle Plaine, as it did in its first two matches of the season, stayed in the No. 1 position with a sweep, this one by counts of 25-19, 25-22, 25-14. The victory came in Jordan. “Once we absorbed the amped up atmosphere of the gym, our girls got down to business and effectively executed our game

70-yard scoring drive that was punctuated by a 4-yard TD run by running back Jack Milbrett, who also tacked on a two-point conversion to make it 14-0 with 9:23 left in the first half. Belle Plaine’s offense, limited to just three plays at that time, did not spend a lot of time on the field the rest of half either as Waseca was able to manage the Tigers’ hurry-up style.

BPHS Mountain Bike Racer Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Back Down From a Challenge League Boss a BP Resident
Melissa Jacobs never saw a challenge she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t willing to consider conquering. From wrestling against boys to racing over rough terrain, the more difficult the challenge the better. A sophomore at Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School, Jacobs is a member of the New Prague Composite Mountain Bike Racing team. The team of riders from area schools includes racers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; junior and senior high girls and boys alike â&#x20AC;&#x201C; competing as a team. Jacobs is the only member of the composite team from Belle Plaine. The daughter of Sarah and Chuck Jacobs, she and team organizers hope more riders from Belle Plaine will join the team. Jacobs has spent the last three years racing as an unattached rider affiliated with a Mankato team. She was frequently among the top riders for the girls 15-18 year-old age group. In June, she finished seventh in a field of 400 racers in a 39-mile one-gear race at Lutzen. The formation of the New Prague Composite team allows her to be part of a team rather than racing as an individual. She thrives on competition. Jacobs wrestled on the Scott West junior varsity wrestling team. She won 12 of her 30plus matches wrestling at 126 pounds, she said. She expects to move up a weight class this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything I do, I like to be competitive. I want to prove them wrong, show them I can do it,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Minnesota High School Cycling League (MHSCL) scores races on the belief every rider counts toward a team score. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the appeals of the sport â&#x20AC;&#x201C; every racer matters and contributes to a teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success, said Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Josh Kleve, the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director and one of the MHSCLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founders. The league is not affiliated with the Minnesota State High School League. Information on the league is available at its Web site â&#x20AC;&#x201C; minnesotamtb.org Each of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s races is open to all of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approximately 50 teams and racers riding as individuals. The seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first race is Sunday (Sept. 13) in St. Cloud. The rest of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule includes races in Austin (Sept. 20), Rochester (Oct. 4), Cuyuna Lakes (Oct. 11) and the championship race Oct. 25 at Mt. Kato in Mankato. The course the league utilizes involves changes in elevation, rough, rocks and logs and uneven patches of ground. Riders are required to wear safety gear. Brute strength isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to win races alone, Jacobs said. Riders have to be technically smart and navigate their way through a challenging course, often amidst heavy traffic. Safety is of paramount importance, Kleve said. Every bikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tires are supposed to remain on the ground during the race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great sport for kids,â&#x20AC;? the elder Jacobs said.
Practice Rides
The courses become progressively more challenging from the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first race in St. Cloud through its finale in Mankato, Kleve said. Along with team practices, Jacobs prepares for races by taking preparatory rides through regional parks, like Lebanon Hills in Eagan or Murphy-Hanrehan in Credit River Township. The courses she chooses for practice rides are anything but pedestrian. She often works out with her father. Chuck Jacobs was a competitive mountain bike racer in his younger days growing up in Rosemount. Today, he helps coach his daughter and the riders on the New Prague Composite team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He pushes me, helps me get better technically,â&#x20AC;? she said. Jacobsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; typical practice rides cover over a dozen miles. The first lap is run just below race speed. Jacobs will cover about six miles in 25 minutes. The second lap will be at race speed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You pick a line through the course, through turns and the rough areas. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be smart about it,â&#x20AC;? Jacobs said.
