Response to Presley’s Backpack Program is ‘Overwhelming’

Signing in for 2015-16 Max Ponath, left, and Ryan Bremseth-Vining were among the many students activating their iPads before the start of the first day of classes at Belle Plaine Junior/Senior High School Tuesday morning. The school was expecting some 727 students in grades 7-12. The total public elementary school enrollment (Chatfield and Oak Crest) in Belle Plaine is forecast at 882, which would bring the total number of public school students in Belle Plaine to 1,609. Oak Crest and Chatfield elementary schools begin classes this Thursday.

City to Hire New Development Director The Belle Plaine City Council was expected to make the hiring of Cynthia Smith-Strack as community development director official at Tuesday night’s meeting. The hiring comes two months after Chelsea Alger left the job, which she held for a little over two years, to accept another job offer. Smith-Strack is co-owner (with Joanne Foust) of Municipal Development Group (MDG) in New Prague, where she has worked since 2001. MDG provides city planning, economic development and grant writing services to municipalities across the state. Smith-Strack’s responsibilities have included leading numer-

Presley Volek is too young to comprehend the response to the backpack program she inspired. Her desire to make sure every child in Belle Plaine had a backpack to start the school year went beyond any realistic expectation. “Presley thinks it’s cool and neat,” said her mom, Caycie Volek. “She has no idea of what her idea has created or how many kids in different communities she has helped. It’s overwhelming.” By Sept. 1, the drive raised 137 backpacks, 85 of which will go to Belle Plaine students. Yesterday (Tuesday, Sept. 8), the 5-year-old and her mom delivered the backpacks to Chatfield Elementary School. Donors also have given 300 boxes of Crayons, “a zillion pencils, boxes and boxes and boxes of notebooks and folders,” more bottles of glue than she can count, markers, 25 headphones and about $330 in cash. The money, Volek said, will be used to buy hats, gloves, coats and boots for children who need them this winter. The donations will initially go to help Belle Plaine students, Volek said. She will also give some of the items to an elementary school in Hudson, Wis. where her sister, Shannon Sexe, teaches kindergarten. Having spoken with staff at Belle Plaine Schools to make sure local needs were met, Volek said the program can help people in Shakopee and other area school districts.

mond, St. Joseph, Waite Park and Winsted. Smith-Strack also worked briefly with the city of Belle Plaine a number of years ago as an administrative assistant and ambulance coordinator. The city received 11 applications for the job, having advertised the position with the League of Minnesota Cities, Minnesota Planning Association and Economic Development Association of MinneBP No. 1 Priority sota. Interviews were held with “Belle Plaine will always be Smith-Strack and three other our No. 1 priority,” Volek said. Cynthia Smith-Strack top candidates.

Joining Branson Mecredy (center) at his Eagle scout ceremony recently were two other members of his family who are Eagle scouts – cousin Randy Mecredy (left), from Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Branson’s father David Mecredy.

Mecredys A Family of Eagles

On Aug. 22, Branson Mecredy, son of David and Susan Mecredy, was awarded the highest honor in Scouting – the rank of Eagle. The ceremony was held at St. John’s Lutheran Church. For the Mecredy family, achieving the rank of Eagle is more than just a level up. It’s a family tradition and has been so since 1919. In nearly every generation, the boys in the Mecredy clan have endured the rigors of Scouting to achieve Eagle. Attaining the rank of Eagle Scout is not for the faint of heart. A boy enters the Troop simply as a Scout and must

graduate through six different ranks before attaining Eagle. Each rank is a maturing experience, asking for increasing levels of responsibility, management and perpetuation of the Scout Oath and Law. To become an Eagle, the Scout must plan and carry out a service project that benefits the community. Branson Mecredy’s Eagle Scout project was the building of a patio and fireplace for His Haven Ranch in Le Center. Part of becoming an Eagle Scout is earning at least 21 merit badges. Branson is the proud bearer of 24, including small boat sailing and personal

fitness, his favorites. Branson has been an active member of Belle Plaine’s Troop 324. He has participated in a dozen camping trips, a few at which he temporarily acted as a bugler. Branson also has filled positions of leadership, including Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader and Quartermaster. “Despite all of the challenges of scouting, it was very rewarding to accomplish,” states

Tuesday morning (Sept. 8), Caycie and Nick Volek and their daughter, Presley, dropped off dozens of backpacks and plenty of school supplies donated to Belle Plaine students through Presley’s Backpack Program. Pictured are (back row, from left) Chatfield Elementary School Counselor Britney Gorres, Presley’s teacher Maria Fadden, Nick and Caycie Volek, Chatfield Elementary Principal Kim DeWitte and (front) Presley Volek. mart in Shakopee. Volek has already created a similar agreement with the Shakopee School District. Until yesterday, Volek’s basement was crowded with donated school supplies. She is now planning to set up a non-profit group – Presley’s Backpack Foundation – to help needy children receive donated school supplies. The essence of the program dates back to an emotional

discussion Volek had with her daughter earlier this summer. On the way home from a dance class one evening, Volek told her daughter she’d purchased a new backpack for the start of the school year and that her old backpack could be donated to a child that didn’t have a backpack to start the school year. A kindergartner, Presley

Town Tigers Baseball

Tigers Season in Review by Manager Mike Schultz The Belle Plaine Tigers amateur baseball team has enjoyed a pretty good last decade, and because of this, came into most of those seasons with lofty expectations. Belle Plaine has made the state tournament in each of the past six years and eight of the last nine. In those seasons, just making the state tournament wasn’t enough to make the season a success – rather playing well and winning games in the state tournament was. Much of this success was due to a pretty constant core group of players. After the Tigers lost in the second round of the 2014 Class C state tournament, a large portion of that core group left the team for a myriad of reasons, including family demands, time constraints and new dogs. In 2015, the Tigers started the season without four of their best hitters and four of their top pitchers from the previous year. They also added five high school players to the roster, along with several players just out of high school. To say expectations were much lower for the 2015 season would have been a gross understatement. I think at the beginning of the season not even the biggest of homers probably would have placed a bet on Belle Plaine to make the state tourney; only the players and some board members thought it was possible. The Tigers did not disappoint all those who predicted a decline, finishing at 11-20 overall and 5-6 in the River Valley League. They started the season 0-4 and bottomed out on June 16 with a 2-11 record after getting no-hit by the Prior Lake Jays’ Tyler Edwards.

From there, Belle Plaine sort of caught fire and finished with an 8-8 record the rest of the way. Not a great record, but three of those wins were in the playoffs, which was good enough for (arguably) a 17th-place finish at the state tournament. The Tigers’ playoffs started in the friendly confines of Tiger Park against the Arlington A’s. Derek Dahlke got the start on the mound and ended up collecting the win, chucking seven scoreless frames. Josh Terrio threw the final two innings and gave up no runs. Dylan Nyberg paced the hitters with a pair of knocks. Next up for the Tigers were the Saints of St. Peter and their ace Matt Lewis. Ben Wagner got the start on the mound in this contest and threw five-plus innings to garner the win in this state-qualifying game. Josh Terrio again came in to pitch and earned a save the hard way – by throwing four innings of scoreless baseball. Derek Dahlke had the big hit, a two-run shot in the first inning that gave Belle Plaine a lead it wouldn’t squander. A couple veterans who stuck around combined to add a run in the third inning, with Travis Latzke getting hit by a pitch, stealing second and scoring on a single by Pat Schultz. Belle Plaine held on for a 3-2 win and an improbable trip to the state tournament. In the opening round of the tourney, the Tigers matched up against the Hadley Buttermakers and came away with a 3-2 triumph. Derek Dahlke got the start and win by tossing six innings of scoreless ball. Josh Terrio and Gaylord draftee Trevor Vaubel combined to throw the final three innings to secure the victory. Nyberg hit his team-leading fifth home, a

Belle Plaine Caps Hubmen by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School football team didn’t get off to the best of starts Friday night on Jordan’s new million dollar artificial turf football field, which was the subject of a pregame ceremony honoring donor Dick Ames and others. The Tigers received the opening kickoff and only got to the its own 14 yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, quarterback Luke Narveson was sacked back at the 5 yard line. On the second play in shotgun formation, the snap from center sailed over Narveson’s head and through the end zone for a safety to give Jordan a 2-0 lead just 34 seconds into the game. Belle Plaine then kicked from its own 20 yard line, setting up Jordan’s offense near midfield. The Hubmen got down to the Belle Plaine 24 yard line before being stopped on downs.

Tigers Flatten Giants in Opener by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School volleyball team did nothing to detract from its preseason No. 1 ranking in the state in Class 2A as it easily swept Le SueurHenderson in the season opener last Tuesday night at the BPHS gym. The match does not count in the Minnesota River Conference standings. The next one between the two teams on Sept. 17 will count. Belle Plaine was scheduled to travel to Tri-City United Tuesday night after this edition of

the Herald went to press. Up next will be a battle with Class 2A No. 4-ranked Jordan 7 p.m. this Thursday. The match, which is sure to attract a massive and vocal crowd, could go a long way toward establishing supremacy not only in the Minnesota River Conference, but in Section 2AA, where a state tournament bid will be on the line this November. Jordan, which gave Class 3A power Hopkins a battle before losing in four sets in its season opener two weeks ago, then dropped a five-setter to Class 2A power New Life Academy

The only downside for the Tigers came in the third set, the final 34 points of which were divided equally (17-17) with the Giants. Fortunately for Belle Plaine, it started off the set with eight unanswered points. “The team played a solid match to open the season,” said Belle Plaine coach Cassie Koch. “Their experience and drive for great success this season presented less nerves than

The Tigers, 0-1 in the MRC, 2-3 overall, were scheduled to travel to defending MRC champion Le Sueur-Henderson Tuesday after this edition of the Herald went to press.

and hosting special anniversary dinners. “Sarah demonstrates what a true meaning of a caregiver is by the time she gives the residents, the thoughtful outings and activities she provides and most importantly treating them like her own mother and father,” said Heidi Barber, director of nursing. “Sarah also makes work fun each and every day with her ‘jokes of the day,’ fun Halloween costumes, ‘Move it Mondays’ and everything else she brings to the table.” In 2012, Beckius was named Caregiver of the Year by Aging Services of Minnesota — the highest honor awarded to Minnesota caregivers who dedicate their lives and careers to serving older adults. She credits coworkers, the community and families of residents for their help in her success. “It’s just been a happy, great place to work. Everyone just helps you do the best job you can do,” Beckius said. “I can’t say enough good things. I must say I have met the most interesting people here.” “Sarah has fulfilled many roles on our campus, each one with joy and compassion,” said Ann Robinson, administrator at The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine. “Her wisdom and laughter will be dearly missed.” That’s not to say there aren’t challenges and sadness in Beckius’ work, but she learned early to see aging as a part of living. After more than three decades on the job, it’s time for her to do a little more living of her own. “I have a few things I have to do before I can’t,” she said. On her retirement list: gardening, travel with her husband, sewing, cake decorating, tutoring, time with her granddaughter and parents. And she’ll be back volunteering at The Lutheran Home, she said. “It’s not so much goodbye as see you later,” Beckius said.

Branson. Scouting has been in the family for a long time. Branson is the seventh Eagle in four generations of Mecredy Eagle Scouts. His father, David, and his uncles, cousins and great grandfather are also Eagles. “It’s an honor to be able to continue the tradition, to show that the line hasn’t stopped,” Branson says. The pin Branson now wears on his uniform has been in the Mecredy family since 1919. The Eagle badge was awarded to Henry Edwards Mecredy by the Virginia Blue Ridge Council. The Mecredy family speculates that their ancestor’s Eagle pin may have been one of the first ever presented. Since then, the pin has been worn proudly on the uniform of Mecredy Eagle Scouts through the generations. The last time a Mecredy was awarded with the Eagle pin until now was 20 years ago. Branson looks on that legacy with pride. “It’s really special for me to

Now, the next page has been started. The Mecredys hope to continue passing the pin down, generation after generation.

Ron and Jeannie Savage and their daughter, Melissa Hollnagel, are inviting the public to come to their second annual Red Shed Fall Sale this Thursday through Saturday. Pictured behind them is some of the hard-to-obtain Annie Sloan Chalk Paint that will be for sale.

Family’s Reborn Red Shed to be Site of Fall Sale This Week Situated almost in the shadow of the St. John-Assumption Catholic Church steeple in Faxon Township is a red shed – a reborn red shed at that. In several years, it’s gone from housing horses to a business showroom called, appropriately enough, The Red Shed, specializing in the sale of refurbished “junk and vintage.” It’s operated by Ron and Jeannie Savage and their daughter, Melissa Hollnagel. They will be holding their second annual Fall Sale this Thursday through Saturday. You will be able to see for yourself the unique agricultural setting that surrounds the Savage home and their adjacent red shed. “We built the shed about 25 years ago to house our Clydesdales, which we raised and trained at the time,” said Jeannie. “After selling the horses, the shed became your typical garage storage area and remained that way until four years ago when Melissa asked to hold her wedding there.” The family began a vast improvement project on the shed to make it ready for the big day, and the wedding was held there

as planned. “After the wedding, we were inspired to utilize the space for something more useful than just storage,” continued Jeannie, adding that’s where the idea was spawned to turn it into a fun business. Last year, Jeannie and Melissa started painting furniture, which started as a hobby to not only refurbish items for their own home, but to prepare other items for a sale. After trying “regular latex paint,” which wasn’t giving

them the final product they wanted, Jeannie and Melissa decided to try Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, which requires no stripping or sanding. “Literally, there’s no prep work,” said Jeannie. “We were so happy with the product that we never looked back. When customers came to the sale and saw the cans on our shelves, they wanted to purchase it. The paint allows people to give a

fresh look to their current furniture or to customize and repurpose second-hand finds.â&#x20AC;? Annie Sloan Chalk Paint can be used on practically any surface, including wood, cement, glass, plastic and fiber. The family eventually applied to become a stockist for Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, for which there are only eight stockists in Minnesota, stretching from as far north as Bemidji and Duluth to Luverne in the southwestern part of the state. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint has been in the United States for only five years. It was developed by Annie Sloan in England 25 years ago. The fast-drying paint can only be found in small boutiquetype shops, where the owners are trained by the company before receiving the paint for their shelves. Jeannie attended a two-day training course in New Orleans, where Annie Sloanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distributor is located. Plenty of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint will be for sale at the fall festival. As for the vintage items the Savage family uses the paint on, they find them at garage sales and thrift and goodwill stores, etc. When the Savages arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tending to their Red Shed job, they also have their real jobs. Ron works for CenterPoint Energy and Jeannie at Community Bank in Chanhassen. Melissa is a new teacher at Belle Plaine Junior/Senior High School. The hours for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall sale at The Red Shed are 6-8 p.m. Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. The Red Shed is located at 27004 200th Street in Faxon Township. Signs in front of St. John Assumption Catholic Church will lead you there.

Kline Will Not Seek Reelection For the first time in more than a decade, Belle Plaine will have someone other than John Kline representing it in Congress. House Education and the Workforce Committee Chair John Kline announced Thursday that he will retire at the end of his term. Ex-judge and former Minnesota first lady and Republican Mary Pawlenty is reportedly considering a run for Klineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat. Also, David Gerson, of the Tea Party, who has twice challenged Kline for the Republican nomination in the Second Congressional District, has announced his intent to run for Klineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat.

According to a Star Tribune report, other potential Republican candidates include Sen. Dave Thompson (R-Lakeville), Rep. Steve Drazkowski (RMazeppa), Rep. Tony Albright (R-Prior Lake), Sen. Eric Pratt (R-Prior Lake) and Dakota County Commissioner Mary Liz Holberg. Klineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement also creates an opening for Democrats. Included are Mary Lawrence, a doctor, and Angie Craig, a St. Judeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medical executive. They recently announced they are running. Rep. Joe Atkins, DFLInver Grove Heights, said he would make an announcement about his intentions next week. Rep. Rick Hansen, DFL-South St. Paul, is another potential candidate.

State Historical Society Awards Scott County $10,000 Grant The Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS) announces 36 recipients of Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Small Grants (up to $10,000 each) totaling $290,010 in 19 counties. Included is a $10,000 grant to the Scott County Historical Society for the purchase of a digital microfilm reader/scanner, which will make microfilmed records more accessible to the public. The grants are awarded quarterly to help non-profit and educational organizations, government units and tribal organizations preserve and share Minnesota history. The awards

were approved by the MNHS Executive Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Legacy grants help history organizations around the state improve and enhance their ability to achieve their mission and sustain themselves over time,â&#x20AC;? said Carolyn Veeser-Egbide, MNHS grants manager. Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants are made possible by the Legacy Amendmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on Nov. 4, 2008. The Legacy Amendment supports efforts to preserve Minnesota land, water and legacy, including Minnesota history and cultural heritage.

SCHS to Hold â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What Did You Dig Upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Archeology Program Do you have an interesting prehistoric or historic artifact at home? Do you want to learn more about it? Then this is the program for you. Stop by the Scott County Historical Society (SCHS) anytime between 1-3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26 to have your artifact identified by a qualified archaeologist, Dr. Jeremy Nienow. While you are here, check out our â&#x20AC;&#x153;X Marks the Spot: Map-

ping Scott Countyâ&#x20AC;? exhibit, which is free. Nienow will identify objects to the best of his ability. Objects will not be given a value. Archaeologist and SCHS staff may ask to photograph your object. SCHS staff will also provide information on donation processes for interested participants. For more information, call 952-445-0378.

City to Hire (continued from page 1) offering the position to Cynthia Smith-Strack at Step 2 (payscale) given her experience,â&#x20AC;? reported City Administrator Holly Kreft to the council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ms. Smith-Strack subsequently requested consideration of starting at Step 3 with the reason that she brings significant comprehensive plan experience, so the majority of the (cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) 2040 Comprehensive Plan could be

completed inhouse versus using an outside consulting firm for the land use portion. Staff concurs with this recommendation,â&#x20AC;? Kreft concluded. The city council also agreed. Kreft said Step 3 brings an annual salary of approximately $72,222.09. Smith-Strackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first day on the job is expected to be Sept. 28.

Green Isle Shows Residents Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Serious About Compliance Members of the Green Isle City Council and its clerk-treasurer are at their wits end over a resident who simply wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply with efforts to enforce city ordinances intended to keep the community presentable. At the Aug. 25 city council meeting, the issue took a serious turn. Over the past two years, a resident on Church Street has repeatedly allowed a dog to defecate on both the homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yard and any of the neighboring properties of its choice. The property owner is reportedly unwilling to clean up after the dog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get a call every few weeks complaining about it,â&#x20AC;? said Bert Panning, Green Isleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clerktreasurer. The homeowner was one of 16 residents the city sent letters

Belle Plaine CITY WIDE

to earlier this summer asking for some measure of compliance with city code regarding refuse, exterior storage of unlicensed or inoperable vehicles. Property owners who declined to comply promptly received a second letter from the city, one more formally worded warning them of the consequences of not complying with city code. The second letter usually generates compliance, Panning said. But not with the property owner on Church Street, who has received several letters over the past two years seeking compliance with city ordinance. This past summer, the city council directed the Sibley County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy assigned to Green Isle to issue the person a citation. Panning reported the person refused to

accept the citation. At the Aug. 25 council meeting, council members learned the person did not show up for the court proceeding and is refusing to pay the court-issued fine. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where things got serious. City Attorney Ross Arneson said he would discuss the issue with district court staff and the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. He suggested having the court issue an arrest warrant on the property owner might demonstrate the seriousness of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolve and generate compliance. Council members would prefer to avoid the potential of having a resident arrested, Panning said. They simply want compliance with city ordinance. Arneson will report back to the council at an upcoming meeting.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I recently sat down with superintendents from area districts to hear their thoughts, ideas and concerns regarding the state of our educational system. The superintendents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from Le Sueur-Henderson, Cleveland, New Prague, Belle Plaine and Tri City United (MontgomeryLonsdale-Le Center) provided me with valuable insight. The conversations addressed the changes the Legislature passed this year, which include an increase in education funding, fewer mandated tests (although this continues to be an area of concern) improved teacher licensure regulations, and a greater investment in early education will be helpful as the students return. Overall the average funding increase for the communities in House District 20A is nearly $350 per pupil. All agreed that because the increase was in base funding, rather than dedicated funding, it will allow more local control so individual districts will have the flexibility they need to apply the money where it can be put to best use. Although the ultimate use of the funding will vary from district to district, I heard about potential uses such as directing it toward enhancing after-school programs, retaining highly skilled teachers, reducing class sizes and more. Other changes this year which should prove very helpful include fewer mandated tests to allow increased classroom learning time, The superintendents indicated to me the scope and consistency (or inconsistency) of standardized statewide testing is a big issue for them. Also, smaller districts are prone to wider swings in results because of a limited sampling size. It became apparent to me the legislature needs to continue looking at testing to assure it achieves what it should. All felt the $95 million investment in early learning initiatives, including scholarships and school readiness aid which passed this year will be money well spent. I find this funding

approach extremely helpful because not only is it targeting children where it is needed most â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the early learners, at the same time it retains enough flexibility in use so parents can make the best choices for their children. Overall Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m feeling confident that going into the school year the new laws should have a significant positive impact on the future of education in Minnesota, and I was happy to support them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to thank our local superintendents who took time to discuss these important issues with me, and I extend my best to all the area kids as they get back in the classroom this fall. Although the school year signals the end of summer, it also renews the process of educating our young people toward their journey of making our nation and world a good place to live, something we all have a huge stake in. Sincerely, Rep. Bob Vogel

Two Crashes at Hwy. 169 & Delaware Avenue Reported A pair of crashes on Highway 169 just north of its intersection with Delaware Avenue (County Road 59) in St. Lawrence Township north of Belle Plaine further snarled busy Labor Day traffic. Monday afternoon (Sept. 7) at 2:34 p.m., a three-car crash occurred near the intersection adjacent to the former OK Corral when the first vehicle slowed down just north of the Highway 169 and Delaware Avenue where it narrows from two lanes to one because of the Highway 169 improvement project in Jordan. The crash occurred when a northbound mini van came

to a stop and a Chevy Malibu stopped behind it. A third northbound vehicle rear-ended the Chevrolet, which was pushed into the mini van. Five people combined in the three vehicles all sustained minor injuries, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. Two others were injured but their injuries did not require transportation to an area hospital, according to the state patrol. A second crash at approximately the same location was reported at 5:13 p.m. Details of that crash were not available when the Belle Plaine Herald went to press.

Tom and Loni Graham made a Labor Day trip to New Ulm with Kevin, Cari, Katelyn and Madelyn Landwer to see Herman the German, Schell’s Brewery, the Glockenspiel and a plaque at the public library commemorating a victory in New Ulm reminded us of our connection to that city. From the archives: In the 1850’s, the St. Thomas area was a small clearing in the big woods where Patrick and Catherine Regan Ronayne’s family lived in a log cabin about 100 yards south of where the big brick house, oldest home in St.Thomas, presently stands. At that time, Civil War battles were popping up in the South and news of serious troubles with Sioux warriors were escalating in southwestern Minnesota. One Sunday, August 18 in 1862, a summon for volunteers brought Patrick Ronayne (1812-1901) and other men from St. Thomas, to join “some 300 volunteers, from Mankato, St. Peter, and Le Sueur, to defend the city of New Ulm.” From Tuesday, August 19 ‘til the second battle August 24 when the “battle raged all day and the outcome was often in doubt.” Finally, reinforcements appeared and the Sioux natives withdrew up the Minnesota Valley.

City Seeking Another Public Works Employee The Belle Plaine Public Works Department has been given the green light to seek another fulltime public works employee. “With the untimely death of Jerry Connolly, the wastewater treatment operator, the public works department will need to hire a new employee,” stated Kreft in this week’s report to the city council. She added that the public works department currently consists of long-term employees, with the most recent fulltime hire in 2007. Public Works Superintendent Al Fahey is currently the licensed operator of the wastewater treatment facility, and other public works staff are in the process of being trained as operators, but do not have the required Class B

license. “Rather than advertise for a licensed wastewater treatment operator, staff is recommending that the city advertise for a public works I employee with no preference given to a candidate with a valid sewer and/ or water license,” Kreft continued. “Given the uniqueness and complicated operations of Belle Plaine’s plant, it will most likely be difficult to hire someone with a significant amount of experience.” Fahey said he has informed the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency that he will be the licensed operator at the plant moving forward. More information about the public works employee job listing will be available on the city’s website.

Carver Co. Gets $138,000 Flood Recovery Grant The Carver Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) announced it has been awarded a $138,000 flood recovery grant from the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) from statewide disaster relief legislation. The funds are for new conservation practices to address erosion, sediment and water quality issues caused by the flooding, and help to prevent future damage. “We have worked hard to help landowners address damage left in the wake of the June 2014 heavy rain events,” said Mike Wanous, Carver SWCD District manager. “These grant funds will allow us to accelerate our recovery work and put practices on the ground that will help prevent soil loss in the future.” Some $5.6 million has been awarded to 26 counties in this second phase to accelerate their recovery work. These funds were allocated during the June 2015 Special Session. In January, Gov. Dayton signed legislation that allocated funding to BWSR to assist local governments in repairing conservation practices damaged during the flooding.

BWSR activated its Disaster Recovery Assistance Program and began immediately working with the local governments to determine need and to start the allocation process. Seventeen counties were awarded $2 million in disaster relief funds after that allocation. For more information about the Carver SWCD’s flood recovery efforts, call 952-4665230.

Gaylord Business Owner Dies Longtime Gaylord business owner Don Pinske, 84, died Aug. 25. Pinske owned and operated Pinske Meat Market from 1973 to 1997. The market became well known for its “Pinske” or “spice” burgers and loyal customers. Pinske’s father, George, had purchased the Sanitary Meat Market in the early 1930s, changing the name to Pinske Meat Market in 1967. Don’s son, Mike, purchased the market in 1997. He owned the business, which is now Lang’s Meat Market, until 2002.
