B.P. School Board, Teachers Take Steps Toward Agreement Board Pitches New Approach on Money

Approving the inclusion of four preschool teachers into the agreement between the Belle Plaine School District and the union representing its teachers, the two sides continue moving toward a two-year agreement. But Monday’s (Sept. 21) twoplus hour negotiating session ended on a different note, one the board negotiators hope will be to the satisfaction of the Belle Plaine Education Asso-

as opposed to sick time/vacation time, and inclusion on the seniority list. The board has previously rejected PTO for the union, a request the union withdrew. The board agreed to allow the additional sick time the four preschool teachers have accrued to be banked at a pro-rated rate, said Director Matt Lenz, the lead negotiators for the school board. The board sought to include the four preschool teachers as part of the agreement rather than have them included as part of an attached memorandum of understanding. That MOU came after a mediated agreement last December that said the licensed teachers were teachers just like the elementary and secondary teachers. Luke Audette, the lead negotiator for the union, said pre$30 Oct. 2 to Race Day school teachers are teachers just Half-Marathon like elementary and secondary $40 by Oct. 1 teachers. “They just happen to have a shorter time with stu$50 Oct. 2 to Race Day dents,” he said. Half-Marathon Relay Lenz said moving the pre$60 by Oct. 1 school teachers into the contract $70 Oct. 2 to Race Day won’t cost the district any adIf you would like to preregis- ditional money since they were ter (walkers are also welcome), already covered by negotiated you can do so at belleplainef- terms of the contract. estivals.org or www.andersonraces.com. Ending the Race-day registration and ‘Volleyball’ Match packet pick up will open at 7:30 Rather than the two sides vola.m. at the park. leying offers across the bargaining table likes opposing teams in a volleyball match, the school board suggested a dif-

ciation (BPEA). The two sides will meet again and continue discussions Oct. 5 and 19 in the District Center. Negotiators for the union representing the district’s teachers and school board agreed that the four preschool teachers would be included in the contract agreement for the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school year despite the three significant differences between licensed preschool teachers and their licensed elementary/secondary colleagues. Those differences include a shorter contract work year for preschool teachers (166 days versus 184 days), paid time off

Blakeley Road Resurfacing Work Nearly Complete Weather permitting, repairs to County Road 6 (Union Trail) should be completed by the end of next week (Oct. 2), according to the Scott County Highway Department. The road also known as “the Blakeley road” is being resurfaced using a process of full depth reclamation, said Scott County Highway Engineer Tony Winiecki. It serves about 600 vehicles a day.

Rick and Gabby (Persson) Stidger are committed to creating a place where parents who have lost a child can go to begin the healing process. A motorcycle-classic car run fund-raiser for The Jameson House is set for Oct. 3 in Belle Plaine. The couple knows that pain first-hand. Their first son, Jameson, died from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) July 3, 2013. He was seven months old. They have since had a second child, Jack.

B.P. Native, Husband Aiming Higher for The Jameson House Even though he is gone, signs of the impact Jameson Stidger had on his parents are abundant around his parents’ home in Elko New Market. Less than a year after his birth, the death of Gabby and Rick’s infant son created a cause that is driving the couple to help others. Jameson died from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) July 3, 2013. He was seven months old. Rick found the child lifeless in his crib that morning just after 7:15. Gabby, a registered nurse, would be home soon from the night shift. “When I went to turn him over, I knew he was not breathing. As panicked as I was, I gave him mouth to mouth and CPR,” the couple wrote in their story on a Web site dedicated to creating The Jameson House. “The image of that morning will be burned into my memory forever. Gabby came home to a nightmare that unfolded in front of her. Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and, worst of all, the coroner’s vehicle.” Today, the couple aims to raise money to help couples who have lost a child. They want to raise money to create a place couples can go to begin the process of healing, a place where they are not immediately surrounded by reminders of the child they lost. Saturday, Oct. 3, at Neisen’s Corner Bar (Main & Meridian streets in downtown Belle Plaine), a motorcycle and classic car run will be held for The Jameson House. Registration

The Jameson House Motorcycle, Classic Car Run n When: Saturday, Oct. 3 n Where: Neisen’s Corner Bar, downtown Belle Plaine; registration, 11 a.m. Run begins at noon. n Includes: Food, music, raffle. n For more info: online at www.thejamesonhouse.com or Facebook/The Jameson House

begins at 11 a.m. and the run starts at noon. The fund-raiser will feature music, food and a raffle. Gabby (Persson) Stidger grew up in Belle Plaine, the daughter of Michelle and Glee Persson, and a 2007 BPHS graduate. Her husband, Rick Stidger, grew up in New Prague. They appreciate the support their dream has received the first two years. They have raised about $20,000 in two years. That’s an

impressive amount, but the couple knows their dreams carry a much higher price tag. Their hope is the money raised at the motorcycle-classic car run Oct. 3 will help fund larger events that will generate significant donations that will help make the dream a reality much faster. They’re working with Tammy Gilbertson, a Twin Cities-based event planner skilled at tapping non-profits, celebrities and other movers and shakers. “We need to get to the right people,” Rick said. Time is important because “nobody should have to go through this,” Gabby said. Heartbroken after Jameson’s death, she wasn’t going to get better at home. “Being here was too hard,” Gabby said. “Everywhere I looked, his things were there, a nook, baby wipes, shoes. I needed to go someplace.” He checked his wife into a

mental health facility. But the facility offered no relief. “There’s no place for people who’ve been through this,” Gabby said. The couple has since had a second child together. Jack Jameson Stidger was born 14 months after Jameson’s death, on Sept. 25. But his presence doesn’t take the pain away. A memory, an image, a date will trigger the pain of losing their

firstborn. “The pain doesn’t go away. You just learn how to carry it,” Gabby said. “I was still a mom, but I wasn’t functioning like a mom.” The place Gabby and Rick hope to create will be a place parents can begin to heal. Information on their plan is available online at thejamesonhouse.com or on Facebook/The Jameson House.

Promoting Childhood Cancer Awareness September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Students and staff at Chatfield Elementary School donned gold jerseys and T-shirts -- the month’s official color -- and formed a large heart to support students who’ve battled childhood cancer. In the center of the heart are cancer survivor Austin Gerres, his mom, Andrea, and Keriann German. Cancer took her daughter, Emma a year ago tomorrow (Sept. 24). Emma would have been a third-grader at the school this year. (Below) Gerres, a first-grader, greeted his schoolmates as they came out to the playground Friday morning.

Minnesota’s oldest nonprofit human service organization, Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota, is marking its 150th anniversary Sept. 27 to Oct. 3. The organization began its mission when compassionate neighbors took in four orphaned children and started an orphanage in the basement of Vasa Lutheran Church in southeastern Minnesota. “With changing demographics and a growing number of older Minnesotans, that good neighbor spirit will be needed more than ever in the future,” said Jodi Harpstead, CEO of Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota.

ferent approach. At the end of Monday night’s session, Lenz said the board will make the union an offer on how much additional money it will put into the contract for 201516 and 2016-17. The union is free to allocate the money to wherever it wishes. He said the board has a limited amount of funding available to it and will do all it can to provide an acceptable settlement that keeps as many teachers employed as possible. “This is how big the pie is, now how do you want to split it up (amongst BPEA members),” said Director Dan Giesen. Union members seemed open to the more global discussion on the financial terms of a settlement. Lenz said the union’s membership would have to police itself as far as how the money will be allocated. If the union declines the board’s approach, Lenz and Director Mike Ludvik told board negotiators the district would likely pull back their offer toward levels below what the district has previously offered. “It’s kind of a line in the sand, but I’d like to keep them all employed as long as we can,” Lenz said. “We can keep doing this and we’ll still be here in January.” The union’s last wage proposal for 2015-16 and 2016-17 called for $540,483 in new spending the first year and $525,681 in new spending the second year of the deal. The increases are 4 percent in additional wages for teachers as they complete additional education and experience

and a 4½ percent increase in the district’s contribution to health insurance annually. The union is also seeking increases for compensation for co-curricular coaching assignments and also additional compensation for summer school teachers. Overall, the BPEA’s proposal will cost the Belle Plaine School District about $8.7 million the first year and approximately $9.2 million in year two of the agreement. The teachers’ request represents a 6.66 percent increase for 2015-16 and a 6.07 percent hike for 2016-17. In July, the school board proposed a 3.26 percent increase ($264,998) in spending for 2015-16 and a 3.09 percent bump ($259,246) in 2016-17.

The board’s July 29 offer would cost approximately $8.4 million in 2015-16 and $8.6 million in 2016-17. The board’s offer includes $500 per step (education gained) and lane (experience) on the first year of the salary schedule plus 1 percent for steps and lanes the second year. The additional money is intended to decrease the gap young, inexperienced teachers earn compared to veteran, more educated colleagues. The offer the school board presented back in late-July included a 1½ percent increase in the district’s contribution to health insurance annually and a 1 percent increase in pay for co-curricular coaching assignments.

Jordan Sells Its Canine Cop to the Right Person for $1 The City of Jordan and its police department had a problem with a readily available solution. What should it do with its canine once its police officer resigned? Council members OK’d a $1 solution. The city council recently accepted Jordan Police Officer Brian Stolt’s resignation. Stolt plans to pursue other career opportunities. But that leaves the department’s canine officer,

Zeus, without a partner. Zeus has spent eight of his 10 years with Stolt and his family, the Jordan Independent recently reported. The canine is property of the city. But Stolt is the primary partner Zeus has ever known. “He deserves to live with his longtime trainer,” Empey said. With the price set at $1, the city council unanimously approved Empey’s recommendation to sell Zeus to Stolt.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

With Sen. Julianne Ortman, RChanhassen, deciding against re-election, Carver County residents will see a familiar name interested in representing them at the state capitol next year. Jake Coleman, the son of former U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman, recently announced he would vie for the open seat. The younger Coleman will not enter a Republican Party primary without the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s endorsement, the Star Tribune recently reported. Dr. Scott Jensen, a longtime Waconia-area physician, announced earlier this summer plans to seek the seat Ortman will not defend. Jensen, the chairman of the county GOP, noted the race will offer voters contrasting styles. He has not announced if he will run without the party endorsement. Coleman, 29, has been building his resume since his father left public office in 2009. He has worked since 2012 on

U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff. Paulsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Third Congressional District includes portions of Senate District 47. Ortmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senate District 47 includes most of Carver County, including the central and western county cities of Cologne, Carver, Waconia, Watertown, Mayer and townships of San Francisco, Benton, Dahlgren, Young America and Hancock. District residents have historically voted for conservative candidates. DFL Party State Chairman Ken Martin admitted it would be a difficult seat to take from the GOP, the newspaper reported. Coleman moved to Chanhassen shortly after Ortman announced she would not seek another term in the Minnesota Senate. He claimed he was not moving to take advantage of an opportunity, but rather moving to a place that shared his values.

USDA Rural Loans Available The USDA Rural Development Agency is currently accepting applications for loans available to low-income families to buy, build, rehabilitate or improve homes located in rural communities with a population of 20,000 or less. The low-income limit varies by county and ranges from $51,050 to $65,800 for a fourperson household in southeastern Minnesota, including Scott County. The maximum loan limit for the counties served throughout the SE Region range is $216,840 - $257,600. Approval for the maximum amount is based on household income and monthly debt obligations. No down payment is required and a portion of the loan closing costs may be included into the loan. The applicant must be unable to obtain the needed credit from another lending source, have an acceptable credit history, meet

income guidelines, have repayment capacity to service any existing obligations and the home loan payment, be without adequate housing, be a United States citizen or a non-citizen legally admitted for permanent residence and have the ability to personally occupy the home on a permanent basis. Funding is based upon an annual appropriation. Now through the end of September 2015, a significant amount of funding is available for eligible applicants, so please contact our office for the necessary application information. Loans may be made for up to 100 percent of the appraised value of the home. The current interest rate for this program is 3.25 percent (effective August 2015). The Rural Development loan may be subsidized to as low as a 1 percent effective interest rate, based on applicant eligibility and financial need. The repayment period of the loan is typically 33 years.

The other bid received was from Robert R. Schroeder Construction Co. of Glenwood for $3,709,500.59. City Administrator Holly Kreft described the bid climate for the project as â&#x20AC;&#x153;very favorable and competitive.â&#x20AC;? Last month, the council approved an agreement with Ridgeview Medical Center that includes Ridgeview buying several acres of city-owned property on the northwest corner of Highway 169 and Country Road 3/Meridian Street (near the new overpass) for $1 provided Ridgeview builds a medical clinic at the site. Ridgeview Vice President John Prondzinski said earlier this year that Ridgeview is â&#x20AC;&#x153;very excited about the opportunity to bring Ridgeviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services to the Belle Plaine community and compliment those already here.â&#x20AC;? He added that â&#x20AC;&#x153;if the bridge was already there, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be breaking ground now.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Mike Pingalore Monday night thanked staff, the council and everyone else involved in the two-year process of getting to this point for their hard work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an exciting moment for this city,â&#x20AC;? he said. In related action Monday, the council voted 4-1 (Chard no) to provide for the sale of $2,255,000 general obligation municipal state aid bonds to finance the construction of the project. The state and Scott County combined have pledged approximately $1.5 million to the project. Belle Plaine Finance Director Dawn Meyer reported that the bond issuance will not have an impact on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall tax levy but will impact the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt burden. The council is scheduled to consider the bond proposals and award the sale at its next regular meeting on Oct. 5. Construction work is scheduled to begin later this fall and be completed in the fall of 2016.

for the 2017 state amateur baseball tournament. Green Isle plans to take in $489,573 in total revenue next year. Taxes ($383,075) and a 1.6 percent increase in state aid ($86,620) represent the biggest areas of revenue for the city. The city is planning to spend $455,873 in 2016. Offsetting the increase in school funding, Green Isle is reducing its spending on roads by 11.9 percent to $112,721. The city plans to spend over $59,950 on public safety (sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patrol and fire) in 2016, a 3 percent increase. Green Isle will also increase spending on its parks to $43,320 -- a 2.6 percent increase over 2015.

Harvest Coin Hunt Begins The search area includes all of the Belle Plaine city limits northward to the railroad tracks (the coin will not be north of the tracks). The medallion is located on public property and is not more than 6 feet off the ground. It is not on the Historical House property or inside the Tiger Park baseball field. Those searching on foot are encouraged to use the tunnel to cross Highway 169. The medallion is about 2 inches in diameter and has "Belle Plaine Harvest Hunt 2015" inscribed on it. The prize for finding it is $200. If you find it, call 952-2121060 and leave your name and phone number.

The fourth annual Harvest Medallion Hunt is underway with the accompanying clue. The hunt is a prelude to the annual Belle Plaine Scenic Byway 5K and Half-Marathon races, which this year are scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 10. If the medallion is not found this week, a second clue will be published in next Wednesday's Herald. A third clue, if necessary, will appear Oct. 7. Last year, the husband-wife sleuths of Don and Pam Meger found the Harvest Hunt coin. They discovered it tucked away on the bottom branches of an evergreen tree in Veterans Park. In 2013, they found it at the sleeping child statue in front of the public library downtown.

Clue 1

I am the Harvest Hunt Medallion. I am waiting for you. Two-hundred greenbacks will not make you blue. I am silver and not very big. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any wooden nickels. Do you dig?

I believe in the circle of life. Does an alert give you much strife? Hurry, hurry and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t delay! If you locate me it could pay! It is all about having a little fun. With this deal no need to run. Some numbers you must crunch. They could buy you a little lunch. What numbers you say? I will tell you but not today. Ladies and Gentlemen, it pays to be wise. Wait too long and lose the prize.

Last year, over 80 Green Isle elementary school-age children attended school at Central Elementary School in Norwood Young America and Sibley Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elementary schools in Arlington and Gaylord. Reductions in city contractor pay for services like crack sealing and the completion of taxincrement financing payments for Classic Glass will help offset the funding for the school The city pulled $5,000 it hoped to allocate to the Green Isle Irish town baseball team from the proposed 2016 budget.

Green Isle City Council members approved a 3.2 percent increase in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preliminary property tax levy for 2016 at its Sept. 8 meeting. The preliminary levy was unanimously approved. The council will have to formally set next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax levy before the end of December. The proposed hike will help fund an increase in aid to Green Isle Community School the city council believes is needed to keep the community charter schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doors open. The city is planning to increase its contribution to Green Isle Community School by just over $50,000 to $70,483 to help the school cover its expenses. The charter schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrollment generates per-student state lease aid to cover city payments on a $1.77 million bond Green Isle issued in 2005 to renovate the idle elementary school. This year, the school paid $6,132 monthly and the city $3,511 toward the bond pay-

Start of New School Year Brings Changes by Sen. Kevin Dahle Earlier this month, after the traditional State Fair cheese curds and trip around the Education Building, school started for my family, along with thousands of other families and teachers in Minnesota. For my three children and me, it was back to the classroom for another year of growth and all the changes that surround us, no matter our age. Because of my “side job” as a State Senator, I watch the changes in our education system from several different perspectives: policy maker, educator, and parent. From all perspectives, the laws we put in place this last legislative session are already showing themselves to be a success in the classroom where it counts. My kids may not have noticed all the changes, but they’ve already realized that classes are a little smaller and their teachers have more time to spend with them in the classroom. Last year’s education bill included a 2 percent increase on the basic funding formula for Minnesota schools, meaning that local districts are able to stave off further staff cuts, build on existing programs and sometimes hire additional educators. As my oldest nears closer and closer to graduation, I’m also thankful that the legislature nearly doubled the money allocated to Concurrent Enrollment programs that will expand the presence of college-level courses in our schools. Building up a few college credits even before graduation will help prepare students of all kinds for life after high school, and save them some money if they do decide to pursue higher education. My second child is facing fewer standardized tests this year, thanks to a streamlining

of our testing regimen and an effort to cut out exams that pull focus away from learning instead of improving it. My youngest has moved well past his preschool and kindergarten years, but $30 million in new funding for school readiness is helping family friends as they start their journey through public education. Another $3.5 million for Minnesota’s Reading Corps program will narrow the achievement gap and target students who otherwise wouldn’t receive the help they need. My own bill to reform outdated school facilities financing may have been a dry read for my colleagues in the legislature, but my teaching colleagues and their students across Greater Minnesota have already seen new funding make real changes in their school buildings. Whether it’s a replacement boiler, the installation of important security, or even patching holes in the roof, schools outside of the suburbs now have access to the same funding to fix up their aging buildings that their neighbors have had for years. I’m pleased that, for all its controversies, this past legislative session was a good one for Minnesota students. As we move forward in the school year and closer to the 2016 legislative session, please reach out to me and let me know what’s working well in your child’s school, and what we still need to improve on. I’m always talking with constituents even outside the Senate’s typical season. Don’t hesitate to e-mail me at sen.kevin.dahle@senate.mn or call at 651 296 1279.

B.P. Men Charged With Felony Burglary, Vandalism, Drug Crimes Two Belle Plaine men are charged with burglary, criminal damage to property and drug possession after an overnight spree at city businesses reported the morning of Aug. 31. Noah Dupree Thomas Jr. is charged with felony counts of burglary and damage to property. Duane Alan Good is charged with felony counts of burglary and fifth-degree possession of over a quarter-pound of marijuana. Both men are summoned for first appearances in Scott County District Court Nov. 9. Thomas is also charged with violating a restraining order and destroying a pool owned by a resident on the 700 block of Butler Drive. Both are misdemeanor charges. According to the criminal charges against the two men, police believe they are responsible for overnight damage at the municipal water treatment plant on Prairie Street. Police found rocks on the ground adjacent to the window. The damage was estimated at $300. Police allege Good, 18, and Thomas, 18, also shattered the door of Chestnut Realty on East Raven Street. The door was discovered destroyed that morning (Aug. 31) at 7:30 a.m. The door was valued at $1,200. That same morning, an overnight burglary was also reported at Emma Krumbeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apple Orchard on East Orchard Street. The owner reported finding part of the cash register on the ground outside the store. The drawer to the register was later found in a different part of the building. The cash register was valued at $300, according to the criminal complaint. Later that morning, police were called to Borough Bowl on South Ash Street where two windows were broken overnight. The windows were valued at $3,000. After leaving Emma Krumbeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, police found Thomas walking along East Raven Street with Good and another man. Thomas, the charges allege, saw the marked police cruiser and took off running into the woods while the other two men continued walking on Market Street. Thomas tossed a backpack he was carrying. It was filled with beer. The charge says the beer came from the orchard. Police stopped the Good and the other man in the Chatfield Elementary parking lot. Good was carrying a backpack that contained caramel corn with Emma Krumbeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tags and a quarter-pound of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

The third man had rented a room at the HomeTown Inn & Suites. Police checked surveillance footage from the morning of Aug. 31 and saw the men together, one carrying a bag of apples from Emma Krumbeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

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.

Cologne Prepares Scott County Receives More State for Possible Property Flood Relief Funding Tax Increase in 2016 The Board of Water and Soil Resources recently awarded Scott and Carver counties over $5½ million to repair damage caused by storms and flooding in the spring of 2014. Scott County received $409,000 in the most recent BWSR allocation. The money is in addition to the $2.2 million the county received in March. The Scott County Soil & Water Conservation District received

$550,000 in March. Carver County received $138,000 via BWSR. The money will be used to stabilize soil, repair current damage and prevent future road problems, said John Jaschke, BWSR’s executive director. Jan. 27, Gov.

Tigers Take Down Titans in MRC Match; Lose to St. Peter The Belle Plaine High School tennis team evened its Minnesota River Conference record a 2-2 following last Tuesday’s 5-2 triumph at Tri-City United. This week did not start so well as the Tigers dropped a nonconference match to St. Peter 6-1 Monday at the Belle Plaine Athletic Complex. The Tigers were scheduled to resume MRC play by hosting Jordan Tuesday after this edition of the Herald went to press. Belle Plaine will also be at home when conference-leading Le Sueur-Henderson pays a visit on Thursday. Tigers 5, Tri-City United 2 Belle Plaine’s hope of no worse than a second-place finish in the MRC was strengthened with a 5-2 triumph over Tri-City United at Le Center last Tuesday. The Tigers won three of four singles matches and two of three doubles match ups. Belle Plaine No. 1 singles player Ireland Lambrecht overcame a 0-6 loss in the first set by winning the next two 6-3, 6-4 against

Kristi Frederick. Also victorious for Belle Plaine were No. 3 Caitlin Preusser over Alyssa Quist 6-1, 6-1 and No. 4 Kiersten Skelley against Kadi Lowe 6-2, 6-2. The Tigers’ Katlin Sannan dropped her No. 2 singles match against Guadalupe Ruiz 4-6, 2-6. In doubles competition, Belle Plaine’s No. 1 duo of Rachel Schroers and Bailey Gavin beat Emily Holicky and Chase Arndt 6-3, 7-5, while the No. 2 team of Lauren Murphy and Sarah Luskey needed three sets but defeated Taylor Factor and Kaitlyn Buss 6-1, 4-6, 6-1. The Tigers’ No. 3 team of Siri Kuhn and Jenna Westin lost to Adrianna Tiede and Faith Factor 4-6, 2-6. St. Peter 6, Tigers 1 The Tigers lost to a potent St. Peter team in a nonconference match Monday in Belle Plaine. Lambrecht accounted for the Tigers’ only victory and it took nearly 2 1/2 hours to earn as she outlasted Rachel Huber 7-5, 1-6, 7-5 in the No. 1 singles

match. The only other match to go three sets was at No. 3 doubles where Preusser and Kuhn were beaten by Claire Thompson and Alex Gault 6-4, 3-6, 3-6. 2015 BPHS Tennis Results and Remaining Schedule Aug. 25 at Maple R.

the Tigers quickly marched 71 yards, the final half of those (36 yards) coming on another keeper by Narveson to make it 21-0 with 1:43 left in the first quarter. Again, the Eagles could do little with the ball and Belle Plaine’s offense was back in business. A short pass from Narveson to Walsh resulted in a 25-yaed scoring play as the latter ran over an Eagle during his gallop to the end zone, making it 28-0 with 9:46 left in the first half. Later in the second quarter, Belle Plaine’s Matt Nelson intercepted a pass to halt New Ulm’s offense once again. After an exchange of possessions, Brink had his second long punt return of the night, this one of some 70 yards to the New Ulm 15 yard line. A couple of plays later, Brink scored on a 4-yard run to make it 35-0 with 2:21 left in the half. The Eagles’ Jordan Hillesheim found the end zone on a 53yard catch and run pass play from Alex Portner with seven seconds left in the first half. The two-point conversion try failed and halftime arrived with Belle Plaine ahead 35-6. As if Brink, a sophomore, didn’t have enough fun in the open field in the first half, he added some more early in the third quarter as he took off on a 64-yard touchdown run to make it 42-6. Belle Plaine’s other two touchdowns in the second half came on a 2-yard run by Walsh (his third TD of the game) and a 47yard scamper by Brenden Eyrich to make the final 55-6. Baltierrez made good on all seven of his point-after kicks, while the last attempt of the night was tried and missed by defensive specialist Alec Ruud, who had fun with the experience nonetheless. For the third time in its last four games, Belle Plaine was able to give reserves considerable playing time, including backup quarterback Carsen Ladd, who is a sophomore and will be contending to take over for Narveson, now a senior, next season. The Tigers had 432 yards of offense (351 rushing and 81 passing). Brink and Walsh were both at or over the century mark in rushing – Brink 112 yards and one TD on 10 carries and Walsh 100 yards and two TDs on 11 carries. Narveson kept seven times for 74 yards and two TDs, while Eyrich finished with two carries for 47 yards and a TD. Narveson completed seven of nine passes for 81 yards and one TD. Walsh caught two passes for 48 yards and one TD. Brody Curtiss added two grabs for 20 yards. Ruud, a junior linebacker, again sparked the defense with 17 tackles. Danny McCann added eight, while Tyler Grieves, Jonny Vinkemeier and Dylan Johnson each had seven. Grieves also picked up two sacks. Nelson and Wally Schultz both had five tackles, followed by Noah Ellingsworth and Josh Juaire with four apiece. “Overall, I think it was a good team win, one of those games that everyone gets to play and that is always fun,” said Tigers coach Justin Johnston. “Our focus on both sides of the ball was much better this week and Belle Plaine I thought the kids did a great Herald job focusing all their attention on New Ulm, knowing we have a big rivalry game this week versus Tri-City United. We really wanted the kids to focus on fundamentals and get better this week individually and as team, and we did that. We will make sure that TCU gets our best effort on Friday night and that is

what we are focused on now.” Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Montgomery. Tri-City United has been on a roll en route to posting a 5-0 record and top five ranking in the state in Class 3A. TCU’s latest victim was Albert Lea by a 47-7 score Friday night in Montgomery. The Titans’s first four victories of the season (in order) were Sibley East (55-6), New Ulm (49-7), Fairmont (40-0) and Worthington (53-0). All totaled, the Titans have outscored their opposition 244-20.

On the flip side, TCU’s only opponent with a winning record so far in 2015 is Fairmont at 3-2. The other four teams are a combined 2-18. TCU’s next two opponents (Belle Plaine and Marshall) are a combined 9-1. The Titans, who will be celebrating homecoming Friday, do most of their offensive damage on the ground, rushing for 334 yards Friday night. Their defense is also very strong as evident from the fact they haven’t given up more than one TD in a game this year.

Alec Ruud, Belle Plaine’s leading tackler, put pressure on New Ulm quarterback Alex Portner Friday night.

Tigers Extend Winning Streak

H.S. Cross Country

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School volleyball team got its first real scare of the season at Southwest Christian High School in Chaska last Tuesday night as it took four sets to put away the perennially tough Stars. The Tigers had no such complications Thursday night as they easily beat Le Sueur-Henderson in a Minnesota River Conference match at Le Sueur. Belle Plaine, 2-0 in the Minnesota River Conference, 5-0 overall, has maintained its preseason No. 1 ranking in the state

in Class 2A. The Tigers will host Tri-City United in what will be just their second home match of the season 7 p.m. this Thursday at the BPHS gym.

of their hour-long, three-set sweeps at Southwest Christian last Tuesday night as they won the first two games against the Stars in quick order – 25-16 and 25-17. But then followed some drawn-out battles over the next two sets, including a 25-23 loss and a 26-24 win, the former of which was the first set the Tigers lost this season. “We were lucky to win a close fourth set and get out with the

Belle Plaine Boys and Girls Both Take Second at 19-Team NYA Invite by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School boys’ and girls’ cross country teams put on two of their most solid “team” performances in recent years, both placing second at last Tuesday’s 19-team Lions Invitational at Baylor Park in Norwood Young America. The Tigers were scheduled to compete in a meet at Crown College Tuesday after this edition of the Herald went to press.

Boys’ NYA Lions Results

The Tigers had five runners place between 16th and 30th places, which added up to a team tally of 105, good for second place among the 19 teams. Mound Westonka, with three

runners in the top 10, finished first with 84 points. Rounding out the field were Jordan (110), Tri-City United (156), Mankato Loyola/Cleveland (161), Delano (164), Glencoe-Silver Lake (171), Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop (206), Dassel-Cokato (240), LCWM/ Nicollet (261), host Norwood Young America (272),Waconia (284), Montevideo (316), Mayer Lutheran (374), Holy Family Catholic (380), Watertown-Mayer (404), Le SueurHenderson (432), Sibley East (464) and Sleepy Eye-St. Mary’s (490). John Roth of LCWM/Nicollet was the individual medalist in a time of 16:17, which was 10 seconds ahead of second-place Tucker Sjomeling of Dalano. They were the only two runners to cover the 5,000-meter course

in under 17 minutes. There were 133 runners in the race. Belle Plaine’s balance and high-team ranking started with Kellen Bergs, who finished 16th in a time of 18:02.

Belle Plaine Belts New Ulm by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School football team posted one of its most lopsided victories in a number of years when it squashed New Ulm 55-6 in rainy Belle Plaine Friday night. The win improved the Tigers, who entered the game ranked tied for eighth in the state in Class 3A, to 4-1 on the season. Two of their final three regular season games are against unbeaten powerhouses Tri-City United and Marshall. As for Friday night, Belle

Plaine was enjoying the moment against a struggling program where wins in recent years average about one per season. The Eagles are still looking for their first victory this year. It didn’t take the Tigers long to establish their dominance. They received the opening kickoff, and from their own 45 yard line, took less than a minute to score, the final 20 yards coming on a scoring scamper by sophomore running back Marcus Walsh. Ruben Baltierrez, who has been nearly perfect this season at his craft, kicked the extra point to

make it 7-0 with 54 seconds gone in the game. It became 14-0 midway through the first quarter when running back Carter Brink, who enjoyed a huge night allaround, returned a punt from near midfield all the way to the New Ulm 1 yard line. Quarterback Luke Narveson kept for the final yard. After forcing New Ulm to punt for the third time in a row, The Tigers’ Danika Schroeder (14) and Sophie Mewes (10) finished 33rd and 61st, respectively, among 127 runners at last Tuesday’s meet in Norwood Young America.

Council Okays Park Rest Room Repairs, Other Expenditures by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine City Council Monday night okayed several expenditures, including improvements to a park rest room facility, a new pickup truck for public works and a washer and dryer for the fire department. The most expensive of them and unanimously authorized is the refurbishing of the rest rooms at Union Square Park (adjacent to the Tiger Park baseball field). The city will use a phased approach, the cost of which is not to exceed $50,000. Public Works Superintendent Al Fahey reported that the bathrooms are in need of upgrading, and reminded the council that the project was put out for bid in 2014 but was never awarded due to very high quotes for the work. He added that as much of the project as possible will be completed by the public works department, including concrete, plumbing and ceiling work.

Cost estimates presented by Fahey Monday night for some of the other aspects of the project include toilets (14,000), sinks ($2,800), wall partitions ($8,000) and electrical (7,800). Fahey said much of the funding for the project will come from a donation by the Mdewakanton Sioux Community that is to be directed toward park improvements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will start in the center of the building where the sewer main goes out and work our way out one section at a time,â&#x20AC;? Fahey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will allow us to open the bathrooms during the summer and then work on the next phase or section during the winter.â&#x20AC;? *Unanimously authorized the purchase of a 2016 Silverado pickup truck from Matt Saxe Chevrolet/Buick for $25,488 plus required fees. The funds will come from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital improvement plan. *Unanimously authorized the purchase and installation of a washing machine and dryer for the Belle Plaine Fire Hall at a cost of $14,911 from BDS Laundry Service, and installation by Gregory Electric. Staff reported that the fire department does not have a washing machine or dryer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After fires or incidents where gear is soiled, the fire department transports the gear to the Jordan Fire Department to use their washing machine and dryer,â&#x20AC;? reported City Administrator Holy Kreft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the city appreciates the Jordan Fire Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generosity in * providing this service, it would be more efficient if gear were washed on-site at the fire hall.â&#x20AC;? Kreft said the city has $15,000 in its capital improvement plan for the purchase. *Only one person spoke at the assessment public hearing for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street and utility improvement project, after which the council adopted the assessment roll as presented by City Engineer Joe Duncan.

incorporate those fragments into the lot in order to meet the setback. The Belle Plaine Planning Commission had recommended approval of the variance by a 4-1 vote, with Commissioner Nathaniel Hvidsten accounting for the only no vote. He said other options, including purchasing land from the adjacent landowners, should have been explored beforehand. However, the consensus of the planning commission, staff and council was that the small variance will not alter the character of the neighborhood, especially due to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;large lot sizesâ&#x20AC;? in that area. No one spoke at the public hearing that was held prior to the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote. *Unanimously approved a trio of facade improvement loan requests from the city. Included are: â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mark Kottke, owner of Re/ MAX Alliance Realty, and Dan Townsend, owner of the building, at 117 East Main Street. The forgivable loan is for $1,500 to install a lighted sign on the front entrance, the total cost of which is $5,380. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dan Teubert of Car-Co Auto Parts at 401 South Cedar Street for a $1,500 forgivable loan to help pay for various improvements to the facade, including new signage, etc. The $1,500 loan represents about 18.4 percent of the project. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Peter Schoeppner of Schoeppner and Associates, and Curtis Koepp, partner and owner of the building at 100 East Main Street, for a $1,500 forgivable loan in order to install three new awnings with the company name and logo. The total cost of the project is expected to be $4,379. All three of the above loans will be forgiven if the business stays in Belle Plaine for at least one year following the distribution of funds or transfers ownership to another entity that maintains the business in the community for at least one year. *Unanimously approved a 10-year extension of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchise agreement with cable provider Mediacom, as recommended by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cable vision committee. City Attorney Bob Vose provided the council with an overview of the lengthy agreement. Council Member Gary Trost expressed some concerns with past service by Mediacom and the need for public communication when service goes out. *Unanimously approved fire relief schedules I and II for the Belle Plaine Fire Relief Association. The association requested no increase to the annual benefit amount, which will remain $2,400. The next regular meeting of the Belle Plaine City Council is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 5 in the City Hall building at 218 North Meridian Street downtown.
