Council Addresses Fire Permit and Refuse Hauling Issues at Length Discussions End in 4-2 and 3-3 Votes

Santa and Mrs. Claus Visit Belle Plaine Santa and Mrs. Claus greeted dozens of kids at Hennen Furniture in down Belle Plaine Thursday night as part of the Business Lighting Contest festivities at adjacent Townsend Park.

Pictured on Santa’s lap is an excited Jacob Sloan of Belle Plaine, while his sister, Michelle, got better acquainted with the First Lady of the North Pole.

Council Okays 2013 Budget and Levy Following what was a brief public hearing Monday night on the city’s proposed budget and property tax levy, during which only two people spoke, the proposal became a reality as the Belle Plaine City Council unanimously placed its final stamp of approval on what the city will collect from taxpayers in 2013.

Included is a property tax levy of $4,528,272, an increase of $228,635 (5.3 percent) over this year’s levy of $4,299,637, which was a 2.7 percent increase over the 2011 levy.

The 5.3 percent increase for 2013 represents only the city’s portion of your property tax bill. County and school taxes are not included.

The only two people to speak at the public hearing were residents Scott Kruger and Mike Jacobs, both of whom expressed concern over what they said are falling values on their properties but rising taxes.

With Minor Levy Hike Planned, School District Tax Hearing a Non-Event

A proposal to increase the Belle Plaine School District’s proposed 2013 property tax levy by less than a half-percent coupled with continued declining valuations wasn’t the formula for a crowded school board meeting room Monday night.

Taxpayers interested in comment on the district’s proposal to increase its 2013 levy were no-shows. With no one to listen to, the board conducted a brief but uneventful workshop.

Because of a mix-up on dates sent to district residents within

Scott County residents, Superintendent Kelly Smith told the board Monday night (Nov. 26) he will also present the information to any interested residents who attend a second meeting, this one Dec. 10, 6 p.m., in the District Center. The school board will formally approve the operating levy for the coming year at its Dec. 17 (6 p.m.) meeting.

The district estimates any increase people might see in the school district’s portion of the levy resulting from a .44-percent increase would be “very

minimal,” said Chuck Keller, the Belle Plaine School District’s budget manager. With the valuation of property across the school district down by over 3 percent, many homeowners in the district might even enjoy a decrease in the school district’s portion of the tax bill.

The proposed .44 percent increase is well below the 1.39

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine City Council Monday night addressed an assortment of issues, one of which appeared routine on the surface but ended up consuming half of the council’s regular meeting.

Allen Schmitz of rural Belle Plaine had recently approached staff and requested that the council consider moving the time period that burning permits are valid for from 30 days to one year, which he said would not be unlike a number of other area jurisdictions. Schmitz said it should not be necessary to purchase several $25 permits over the course of a year.

Schmitz further presented his case to the council during the public forum that’s held near the beginning of each regular city council meeting. It allows residents to make their voices heard on any issue they desire.

Later on in the agenda, the Schmitz-induced issue of building permit fees was up for review by the council, and a lengthy discussion ensued.

Most of the talk centered on what the impact would be on staff if the council was to allow the $25 permit fee to have a lifeline of one year versus one month.

Finance Director Dawn Meyer said administrative costs would likely increase because there would be a longer list of burning permit holders to keep track of and notify anytime a burning ban is imposed by the county or state. Also, the longer the list of

permit holders is at any given time, the more other issues can arise in regards to controlled burning.

Scott County Emergency Services Director Chris Weldon, who is a former Belle Plaine fire chief, reiterated what Meyer had to say.

Schmitz re-approached the council and said he did not feel it is necessary for city staff to notify burning permit holders each time there is a burning ban because there are a number of

rules that permit holders must abide to, including notifying the proper authorities before they begin a controlled burn.

It’s at that time they learn if there are any burning restrictions in place.

Meyer said it’s been the city’s policy, as issuer of burning permits, to notify permit holders to inform them when burning restrictions are in place.

OK Corral Under New Ownership Big Changes in Effect This Week Patrons of the OK Corral on Highway 169 between Belle Plaine and Jordan can expect a number of changes at the longtime bar and restaurant starting this week.

New owner Terry Totenhagen has purchased the business from Gus Khwice, who owned the OK Corral for the past several years. Khwice is owner and operator of DangerďŹ eld’s Restaurant in Shakopee.

Like Khwice, Totenhagen will lease the building from Dick Ames. Totenhagen has remod-

elled the interior of the building and said plenty of other changes are in store, beginning this Friday and Saturday nights when a new stage and dance oor will be put to the test with live music.

Totenhagen said the live music will continue every Friday and Saturday night throughout the year. He added that this weekend’s band will feature country western music and future engagements include a variety of bands, from country to rock to pop.

Totenhagen describes the new OK Corral as a restaurant, sports bar and nightclub all rolled into one. There are now 16 televisions situated in the facility, as well as a new spacious game room and other amenities.

The new OK Corral is open six days a week, including Tuesday through Thursday from 4-10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Included each Sunday will be a brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Among those assisting Totenhagen at the new OK Corral are General Manager Ted Rosenback, Kitchen Manager Randall Reph and Bar Manager Melissa Berg.

For more information about the new OK Corral, call 952492-6700.

tor Dawn Meyer responded by saying that reductions in the amount of money the city is receiving in state aid programs is shifting more of the tax burden on city governments, thus higher city property tax bills.

Meyer explained earlier this fall that of the 5.3 percent property tax increase, 3.3 percent will go toward increases to the budget. The other 2 percent will go toward expenses associated with the city’s recent purchase of its public works building.

For property owners with an average-value home of $167,400, the 5.3 percent hike will represent approximately a $132 increase on the city’s portion of their property taxes in 2013.

Band ‘Home Free’ to Perform Christmas Show at BPHS Dec. 11 The band “Home Free” will perform a Christmas concert at Belle Plaine High School 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11.

“Home Free” is described as “an awe-inspiring, fun-filled show packed with unforgettable moments that the whole family can appreciate. Featured is a harmonic array of beloved Christmas classics amidst an

extravagant light show and a flurry of other surprises.”

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors.

Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at www.HOMEFREEVOCALBAND.com.

More information about “Home Free,” including a video of a recent performance, is available at the above website.

Christmas Bird Count Dec. 15 The 16th annual Christmas Bird Count, centered on the Ney Nature Center area, will take place Dec. 15.

If you are an environmental enthusiast and enjoy watching bird life, this is an activity for you. Amateur and professional birdwatchers will take to the hills, prairies and streams to count birds across the nation in an activity that is over 110 years old.

Much of Le Sueur, all of Henderson, the southeast fringe of Belle Plaine and the St. Thomas area all are within 7.5 miles of the Ney Center (as the bird flies) and thus eligible for “the count.”

For those uncomfortable with tromping through the brush or roaming the prairies, a count can be taken at backyard bird feeders. The procedure is simple and non time-consuming and there is no charge for participation in the Christmas Bird Count.

The Ney Center will be open from 8 a.m. on the 15th, if one

wishes to count from there. This year participants may mail their results, or share experiences and report count results from 3-5 p.m. at the Center, where refreshments and snacks will be served.

Until 1900, the custom was to shoot (kill) as many birds as possible on Christmas Day. An ornithologist of the time, Frank M. Chapman, created the count as an alternative to the slaughter.

Today, many thousands of volunteers across the land participate.

In December of 2010, more than 120 youngsters through oldsters in the immediate area assisted with this exciting endeavor. The data becomes part of the Audubon’s state and national database. As drought, disease and weather-change deplete bird numbers, this information becomes increasingly valuable.

For count forms and additional information, call 507-2483474. Questions can also be directed to 507-665-2658.

The novelist, Debbie Macomber, is quite popular among the readers at the Belle Plaine library. If you are not one of them, you may wish to see what you are missing. It is a timely thing to do as a number of Debbie Macombers books deal with Christmas. If you are still in a Thanksgiving frame of mind, one of her stories is Thanksgiving themed also. If you are getting tired of being bombarded by Christmas advertisements on TV while trying to watch a show, this might be a good alternative. Pick out a good book and enjoy a Christmas story with as few interruptions as you can arrange for yourself.

Another Debbie Macomber option is available. We have a DVD, “Call Me Mrs. Miracle” that you could check out and watch. I did just that over the weekend. It was a very nice story and it was fun to see a number of actors that I knew from other movies or TV shows. Viewing an actor in a role that differs from what you expect can be interesting to see. If you choose a book, DVD, or both, I think you will feel a warm enjoyment over the Christmas story experience. If Debbie Macomber is a new author for you, we would be happy to introduce you to her works.

Otherwise, if you and Debbie are “old friends”, visiting an old friend just before Christmas, might be a good thing to do.

In my weekend reading, I learned that December 5 is the birth anniversary of Walt Disney.

Walt Disney was born in 1901 and was entertaining us until he died on December 15, 1966. I am sure all of us have enjoyed books and movies from the Disney companies over the years.

I know that our library system has many Disney works in the catalog. Which Disney creations were your favorites? It would be fun to hear from you.

Since it is a busy time of the year, Story-Time will be put on hold until February of 2013. We will be back with a fresh bunch of exciting stories.

The Friends of the Library have invited Santa Claus to visit us on Saturdays, December 8 from noon to 2 p.m. and also December 15 from noon to 2 p.m. In spite of his busy schedule, Santa has e-mailed (he moves with the times) back that he will be glad to visit our young readers. Be sure to mark this on your calendars.

Family Friend, KDWB Makes Belle Plaine Family’s Christmas One They Won’t Ever Forget Andrea Gerres is a frequent listener of Dave Ryan’s show each day on KDWB (FM-101.3). The heart-warming stories each hour from the radio show’s annual Christmas Wish-A-Thon almost always bring a tear to her eyes.

But last Tuesday, the GerresOverline family was the subject of the special feature.

Gerres was working from home last Tuesday, listening throughout the day when she heard the last wish for the day to be spotlighted was from Belle Plaine. Her attention and interest peaked. Gerres wondered who the family was and she was also pleased a local family was being recognized.

The phone rang just after 5 p.m. and Gerres found herself talking with KDWB’s Ryan and her friend, Melissa Mellgren. It was Mellgren who nominated the Overline-Gerres family for the Christmas wish. Mellgren’s husband was a high school friend of Gerres and her husband, Justin Overline.

“I was literally in shock,” Gerres said. “I was wondering, is this really happening.”

When Gerres heard the name of the little boy, her son Austin, and the story of his fight with leukemia since he was diagnosed Feb. 8, she struggled to maintain her composure. “Could you make me cry anymore,” Gerres told Ryan and Mellgren.

Austin’s condition has brought the family many hardships since February. “It’s been a rough 11 months or so,” Mellgren said.

Waiting outside the family’s Belle Plaine home, staff from KDWB waited for their cue from KDWB’s studio to deliver the bounty of gifts Tuesday afternoon. The gifts to the family included an array of age-appropriate toys, superhero bed sheets and gift cards for Austin and his little brother, Jaxon, 1½. The

Council (continued from page 1) Council Member Cary Coop said if administrative costs would indeed increase if permits time periods are extended by 11 months, then the cost of the permit should also go up. He added that the city should find out more about those costs before taking action.

Council Member Paul Chard, like Schmitz, questioned the need for the city to notify permit holders each time a fire ban is in place in that permit holders would know anyway as long as they followed the rules and made the required call.

Chard, along with Mayor Tim Lies and council members Scott Schneider and Mike Pingalore, voted in favor of allowing permits to remain $25 and increasing their validity from 30 days to one “calender” year. Accounting for the only no votes were Coop and Gary Trost.

In other business Monday night, the council, on a 3-3 vote, denied a proposal to change the allowable start time of refuse haulers operating in the city from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m.

“At their meeting on Nov. 6, the public works committee discussed this issue and recommended a change to the allowable start time of refuse haulers,” reported City Administrator David Murphy, adding that the current city code indicates a start time of 6 a.m., while construc-

Paul Lambert of KDWB played Santa Claus last week, delivering a bounty of Christmas presents to Belle Plaine’s Justin Overline (left), Andrea Gerres and their children, Jaxon (being held by his dad) and Austin (front) as part of the FM station’s Christmas Wish-a-Thon. superhero bed sheets are important because Austin likens chemotherapy to superheroes with guns fighting the bad blood cells in him.

For Andrea and Justin, gifts included hundreds of dollars worth of gift cards for Macy’s, Kohl’s, Target, gasoline, groceries and movie nights.

Mellgren nominated the Gerres-Overline family as a sign of support for the family. What was initially suspected to be a bad case of the flu was eventually diagnosed as cancer.

Austin little boy wears leg braces because chemotherapy leaves his legs weak. His weakened immune periodically requires mom

or dad to stay home. “You are not alone,” Mellgren said.

As touching as the recognition and delivery of gifts was, it took some serious flexibility from the staff at Children’s Hospital to make it happen. Austin was supposed to be at physical therapy when the gifts arrived.

But when the staff at Children’s Hospital learned about the recognition, they willingly switched Austin’s appointment to earlier in the day.

“We know he has a disease that could take him at any time.

We always try and remember somebody else out there has it worse,” Gerres said. “We just feel incredibly blessed.”

tion activities can start no earlier than 7 a.m. “The public works committee believes refuse haulers should be restricted to a start time of not earlier than 7 a.m, the same as construction activities,” Murphy continued.

Although there has been no avalanche of early-morning noise complaints over refuse hauling, staff reported that such complaints are made from time to time.

Council Member Cary Coop asked Public Works Superintendent Al Fahey if the contracted refuse haulers had been notified about the proposed changes to their start-up schedules. Fahey said no. The discussion then centered on what the impact would be to the companies if all of a sudden they were notified that they had to alter their operating schedules.

Council Member Gary Trost made the motion to approve the start time change from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m., but not to have it go into effect until the refuse hauling companies reapply for their respective annual contracts in 2013. That way, the companies could decide for themselves if they still want the contract or not.

Trost was joined in voting in favor of the motion by Paul Chard and Mayor Tim Lies, while Coop, Scott Schneider and Mike Pingalore voted in favor of holding off on a decision at this time. *Voted 5-1 to approve costof-living salary increases of 2 percent for all non-union municipal employees for 2013.

Also receiving 2 percent salary increases will be unionized public works and law enforcement employees. Step increases were also approved for 12 of the city’s 25 employees. Without any comment, Council Member Cary Coop accounted for the only no vote to the raises. *Following a public hearing, during which no one from the audience spoke, the council unanimously approved amendments to the city’s fee schedule.

Included among the changes, which will take effect Jan. 1, are slight increases to water and sewer utility fees and applicable state sales tax. Due to what staff reported as past difficulties in the collection of fees for city services, language was also added that large assembly permits will now require a $500 deposit for one-day events and $1,500 for events lasting for two days or more. A copy of the city’s 2013 fee schedule is available for review at Belle Plaine City Hall downtown. *Public Works Superintendent Al Fahey reported that the community skating rinks are ready to be flooded to make ice, and that “we will start making ice as soon as the forecast allows.” *Unanimously approved pay request No. 6 and final by Chard Tiling and Excavating for $46,332 for work on the 2011 street and utility improvement project.

The next regular meeting of the Belle Plaine City Council is scheduled for 6 p.m. Dec. 17 in the City Hall at 218 North Meridian Street downtown.

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Just Missed Santa’s House Corinne Meierbachtol’s Chevrolet was pushed up against the Coast-to-Coast store in downtown Belle Plaine after being hit by a Pontiac driven by Jean Seaver. There were no injuries in the accident, which took place Saturday morning, Dec. 11, 1982.

Pictured in the background is the Santa House that was a mainstay downtown during the holiday season in those days.

Scott County political candidates dug deep into their pockets in 1982, spending more on their campaigns than in any previously recorded year. The candidates for county attorney, Kathleen Morris and her challenger Phil Kanning, spent a combined total of nearly $12,000 compared to about half that amount spent by the candidates for that seat in 1978. In a three-way race for county auditor, candidates spent a total of $5,704 compared to $100 spent by the uncontested candidate in previous years.

On a split vote, the Belle Plaine City Council went along with the recommendation of Police Chief Rod Peddycoart and hired another full-time police officer and one part-time officer. Hired full-time was Joseph Ptasek, 30, of Minneapolis, who had experience with the Robbinsdale Police force.

The part-timer hired was 21year-old Jeff Norlin.

In looking over the police hours schedule for the previous month, Councilman Ed Townsend pointed out that he noticed on two or three occasions police officers were called back on duty when someone locked the keys in their car.

When an officer is called back to duty even for just a few minutes, he puts in for two hours of overtime, which amounted to over $24. “Service stations and garages will perform the same service for $10 and the person needing assistance will pay for it the same as a flat tire,�

Townsend said.

Sylvia Wilhelmi, physical education teacher at Belle Plaine High School for the past 18 years, requested and was granted a three- to five-year career leave of absence, which was allowed after a teacher had put in 10 years on the job. Wilhelmi said there were a couple of career field she would like to pursue, including real estate and computer science.

The BPHS basketball team won a 56-54 thriller over Mankato Loyola before a large and boisterous hometown crowd. Kevin Wolpern led a balanced Tiger scoring attack with 16 points. He also had a team-high 12 rebounds. Brent Meyer contributed 14 points and Erik Johnson 12.

The BPHS girls’ basketball squad lost a heartbreaker to Mankato Loyola 34-33 but

bounced back to defeat Montgomery 57-43 to improve its overall record to 4-1. Sandi Schmidt led the Tigers against Loyola with 10 points and 15 rebounds. Laurie Wolpern and Diane Savage added nine and points, respectively. Wolpern sparked Belle Plaine against Monty with 14 points and 14 rebounds. Schmidt added 12 points and 14 rebounds.

The Belle Plaine wrestling team took second place at its own tournament. Watertown took first place, while Waconia was third and Morgan fourth.

The hometown matmen lost to Watertown 31-30 in the first round before beating Waconia 33-31 and Morgan 37-17. Winning all of their matches for the Tigers were Andy Fogarty, Ed Fogarty, Bob Fogarty and Joe Dvorak.

60 Years Ago (1952)

Twelve persons filed for the six school board positions in the newly reorganized Belle Plaine School District. Those who filed for the one-year term were L.E. Lieske, Edwin Stier and Joseph Fogarty. For the two-year term were Mrs. Frank Stoppelmann, Urban D. Hessian, G.H. Druke, Ronald Stratton, Arthur Laabs and John Koenig. For the threeyear term were W.J. Gatz, Jay Bailey and Lawrence Mueller.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pieper built a greenhouse at their oil station on Highway 169, 5 1/2 miles east of Belle Plaine.

A fire alarm brought Belle Plaine firemen to the Clarence Klaustermeier farm north of town. It was a chimney fire and put out without much damage to the house.

The Herman Gennrichs, who lived between Gotha and Cologne, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.

Cyrill Burns, native of St. Thomas, died suddenly at his home in Minneapolis due to a heart attack. He was 46 years old.

John Sheay, former county agent for Scott County, died at his home in Litchfield. He was 61 years old.

Joseph Barten, lifelong resident of the Union Hill community and former member of the Minnesota Legislature, died at the age of 87.

Dear Editor, I read something in the latest edition of the 'Bridge' that I thought was really funny!

What I read said, a teaspoon of salt on a sidewalk was dangerous to the environment. While our street department dumps tons of it on top of snow when it turns into mush, they don't bother to grade it to the sides, they wait for the cars to carry it away.

Some may not agree with the way I think, but that's the way it is being done.

There should be a better way.  Sincerely, Al Morrisette

Dear Editor, Citizens of Scott County Beware On November 13, the Scott County Board and Administration held a workshop in New Market. Workshops are conducted to develop agendas for the future. One of the subjects was salaries for 2013. The County used a study of other counties to compare salaries in order to justify increases for County Commissioners, County Attorney, and County Sheriff.

These very substantial increases will be used to set salaries for employees of the nine unions and other management personnel. They used six other counties to compare to current Scott County salaries. The counties were: St. Louis County (Duluth), Olmstead County (Rochester), Dakota County, Stearns County (St. Cloud), plus two additional counties in the metro area. Four of these counties are significantly larger than Scott, for example, I believe Dakota

County is over twice as large as Scott County. Should Scott County elected officials be paid based on counties much larger than Scott? I don’t think so.

After the workshop meeting, on November 27 the regularscheduled board meeting occurred. One of the agenda items was to use these comparisons to increase salaries of these elected officials. Gary Shelton and Leslie Vermillion advised the board that these salaries could be used as a guide to set salaries for the nine bargaining unions for 2013, plus the other management personnel. There was very little discussion regarding comparisons to tax paying private citizens. For several years public employees have received substantially larger increases as compared to struggling citizens.

At this meeting, Commissioner Barbara Marschall introduced a motion to accept these salary recommendations. A vigorous discussion followed, three conservative commissioners, David Menden, Joe Wagner, and Tom Wolf, questioned this agenda item. No one wanted to second the motion! Barbara Marschall then withdrew her proposed motion.

Thank goodness that you as Scott County citizens returned these three conservative commissioners to the Scott County board in the last election. This agenda item will be brought up again in a couple of weeks at a regular commissioner meeting.

Administrator Shelton advised that something has to be done by the end of December regarding this issue. If you, as a citizen, have concerns about this issue, here are the instructions for logging on and viewing this meeting on-line: Marlyn Post Scott County Citizen

Sueur and Rice) county election officials. They run a tight ship. You wind up being behind on election night (Nov. 6) and you wind up being behind today,� said Reid LeBeau, Dudley’s attorney overseeing the recount Friday morning at the Scott County Law Enforcement Center in Shakopee. “Unfortunately, that’s where the electorate is at.�

The final recount in a senate district that includes Belle Plaine and the rest of southern Scott County and portions of Le Sueur and Rice counties saw Dahle finish with the same number of votes he received on Election Day -- 20,627. Dudley, a former FBI agent, gained a half-dozen votes in the recount and finished with 20,556.

At a time when the accuracy of vote-counting machines makes overcoming a 78-vote deficit unlikely at best, LeBeau said Dudley knew his odds of victory were highly unlikely.

Had Dudley won, he faced the potentially daunting tasks of serving in the minority since the DFL retook control of the Senate by a 39-28 majority.

Dahle knows his way around the Minnesota Senate. He won a special election to the Senate in 2008. He lost his first bid for re-election to Republican Al DeKruif in the 2010 election.

While redistricting renamed the senate district from 25 to 20 and shifted it to the east, losing Sibley County, Dahle retained Rice County and the DFL stronghold of Northfield.

A teacher at Northfield High School and Northfield resident, Dahle beat Dudley in Rice County and Northfield by 3,445 votes – 10,374 to 6,929. The wide margin was barely enough to overcome the huge wins Dudley enjoyed in Scott and Le Sueur counties.

Many Marines, classmates and friends from here attended services held for Lance Corporal, Dale Means, 23, who passed away Sunday, November 18, 2012 while serving with the U.S. Marine Corps. in Afghanistan. He is believed to be the first active duty member of the military from New Prague to be killed in combat since World War II. He was riding in convoy when hit by an explosive device. He is survived by parents, John and DaleLyn Means; family; and wife Andrea Scheffler which was a classmate of his and he married in October, 2011. Many flags were lined up along the road sides from New Prague mortuary to the St. Patrick's Catholic Church.

His body was escorted home to New Prague on Monday, accompanied by many soldiers of the Patriot Guard, which provided motorcycle escort and stand at attention outside of funerals and visitations for fallen military personnel. He will be missed. We pray for him and his family.

New Prague OKs Big Ticket F.D. Equipment Purchase The New Prague City Council recently approved the purchase of a new fire department ladder truck to replace its 1979 ladder truck.

The new truck will have a 75foot ladder, 25 taller than the truck it succeeds. It will cost $766,321. The city and the rural fire association will split the

cost of the new truck.

The council has yet to determine how it will finance its share of the truck. The options include fund balance, issue equipment certificates, use money from the ambulance fund, enter into a lease-purchase agreement or include the needed money on the tax levy.

The city attorney encouraged the city to check on the ability of the city to use money from the ambulance fund before selecting that option.

The truck will be ready for the city to pick it up 10 months after the truck is ordered.

This past Saturday, our Early Childhood Family Education program hosted the annual Holiday Express at Chatfield Elementary and had approximately 1,000 participants come through the doors to enjoy this wonderful event. Thanks to Sheri Prokosch, Early Childhood Family Education coordinator, for her work in helping to organize this great event and thanks to all the organizations and individuals who assisted in making this event so successful once again!

Financial issues for governmental entities are certainly in the news lately as policy-makers at federal, state and local governments are dealing with financial concerns as we head into the next fiscal year.

Our federal government is once again mired in the debate concerning the impending fiscal cliff that will occur at the end of this calendar year if a new agreement on taxes and federal spending is not reached. At this point, it appears that both Democrats and Republicans are posturing for the final showdown and don’t seem to be very interested in compromising to reach an agreement prior to the impending deadline. Unfortunately, if no agreement is reached, the end result will negatively impact most middle class citizens and is estimated to lower the gross domestic product (GDP) for Minnesota by 1.3%.

This potential impact on the Minnesota GDP comes at a time when Minnesota budget officials are preparing their budget estimates for the coming year. Uncertainty as to a solution in the fiscal cliff negotiations will make the budget forecasting for our state even trickier than usual. Minnesota has been slowly climbing out of the recession but has lagged behind other states in terms of recovery.

The Minnesota budget forecast is a critical piece of information as our new legislative bodies get set to meet in January.

The new budget forecast will set in motion much of the work of our new legislators as the forecast will outline the amount of revenue available for the upcoming biennium. In addition, the forecast will lay the foundation for the debate surrounding two important initiatives that Governor Dayton has been pushing – tax reform and school funding reform.

A recent Star Tribune article outlined some of the work that has been done by the Dayton administration regarding a possible revamping of our Minnesota tax system. Priorities by the administration are to lower the corporate income tax, provide property tax relief, and perhaps lower the current sales tax rate while spreading the tax onto additional items such as services and clothing.

Governor Dayton has also received a series of recommendations on changing school funding for the future. The recommendations come from an Education Finance Task Force that has been meeting for the past eighteen months. If the recommendations are enacted, the changes would be the most significant in the past two decades. I will speak more about the group’s recommendations in a future column.

As we await the new budget forecast for Minnesota, my hope is that federal legislators as well as state legislators can do their work in a spirit of bi-partisanship in an effort to craft legislation that serves all Americans well.

As always, if you have any questions about school matters, please feel free to call me at 873-2400 or check our website at www.belleplaine.k12.mn.us. Go Tigers and Panthers!

Scott County Board Will Host Annual Tax Hearing Tomorrow

MVEC Members to See Sibley County Tells Bill Credit in December CapX to Move Five

Taxpayers with something to say to Scott County commissioners abut the proposed halfpercent increase in the 2013 levy will have their chance to speak to the county board tomorrow evening (Dec. 6) at the Government Center in Shakopee.

The annual truth-in-taxation hearing is at 6 p.m. It is intended for comment on the proposed levy and county spending and not valuations of property.

In September, Scott County approved a half-percent increase its preliminary gross levy for 2013 by a 3-2 vote. The net levy, which includes state aids, is dropping.

The proposed increase, if approved later this month, will add just over $300,000 to the county’s coffers and increase the gross levy to $60.8 million.

But that doesn’t mean the aver-

age Scott County taxpayer will see a hike in the county’s portion of 2013 property taxes.

Scott County officials expect increases in state aid, a broadening of the overall tax base and reduced valuations should push most taxpayers’ bills down. Overall, the county’s net levy will generate $540,000 less in 2013.

The average decrease on a residential property is calculated at $40.76. The county says 74 of Scott County’s houses will see a decrease in the county’s share of its property taxes. The county expects 17 percent of the county’s houses will see a hike in Scott County’s share of property taxes of less than $25 and 9 percent of the houses in the county will see an increase greater than $25 if the proposed half-percent preliminary levy hike is formally OK’d.

There are five locations on the campus where caroling groups can share their spirit – The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine, The Lutheran Home: Hope Residence, Boessling Lutheran Village Apartments, Faith Residence Apartments and Kingsway Retirement Living.

Additional good news is that while MVEC’s 2013 budget has not yet been approved, it is forecast that there will be little or no increase to members’ electric rates next year.

“As a member-owned organization, our focus is to provide reliable service at the lowest possible cost. That’s a common theme among electric cooperatives,” said Mareck. “This good news is consistent with those values.”

Good news for Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative (MVEC) member-owners. At the November board meeting, the MVEC Board of Directors authorized $1.5 million to be refunded to the membership.

The average residential member will receive a credit of $30 on their December electric bill.

The credit is based on electricity purchased by members from Jan. 1, 2012 through Oct. 31, 2012.

According to Gerry Mareck, MVEC vice president of finance, there are several reasons for the refund, including 2012 energy sales are well ahead of projections due to the hot summer weather and strong commercial growth. MVEC’s local operating costs are also favor-

Homestead Applications Due Dec. 15 You must file a homestead application with Scott County on or before Dec. 15 if one of the following applies: – You purchased a property in the past year and you, or a qualifying relative, occupy the property for homestead purposes on Dec. 1, 2012; or – You, or a qualifying relative occupy a property for homestead purposes on Dec. 1, 2012, and the property was previously classified as non-homestead.

A qualifying relative for homestead purposes depends on the type of property. For residential property, a qualifying relative can be a parent, stepparent, child, stepchild, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece of the owner. This relationship may be by blood or marriage. For agricultural property, a qualifying relative can be a child, grandchild, parent, or sibling of the owner or a child, grandchild, or sibling of the spouse of the owner.

Once you have been granted the homestead classification, no further applications are necessary unless they are specifically requested by the county assessor.

Applications may be obtained by stopping into Customer Service or being printed from the Scott County Web site www. co.scott.mn.us.

If you should sell, move, or for any reason no longer qualify for the homestead classification, you are required to notify the county within 30 days of the change in homestead status.

A form is available in the Taxation Department or on our Web site to request the homestead be removed from a property for the next assessment. Failure to notify the county assessor within this 30-day period is punishable by recalculation of the tax as non-homestead; in addition, to a penalty equal to 100 percent of the homestead benefits.

For more information, call 952-496-8115.

H.S. Girls’ Basketball

Tigers Win Big, Lose Big

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team got the season started off on the right foot with a 73-52 victory at Waterville-Elysian-Morristown last Tuesday.

The Tigers had 48 hours to enjoy that triumph before heading back on the road Thursday for an encounter with state Class 2A No. 2-ranked New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Genera, whose only loss last season came in the state Class 2A semifinals against Sauk Centre en route to a 32-1 record. The Panthers, with much of last year’s firepower back this season, handed the Tigers their first loss of the season by an 8037 count. NRHEG’s first game of the season was a 98-29 whipping of Le Sueur-Henderson.

The Tigers were scheduled to host Glencoe-Silver Lake in their home opener Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press. Next up is another nonconference game at Mound-Westonka 7:30 p.m. this Thursday. The Tigers will be back home 7:30 p.m. Friday to begin Minnesota River Conference play against LSH. They will be at WatertownMayer for a 7:30 MRC contest next Tuesday night.

Tigers 73, WEM 52 Belle Plaine scored 40 points in the second half to inflate a six-point halftime lead into a 21-point blowout.

Haley Fogarty led the charge with 22 points, followed by Claire Otto with 16 and Marienna Hayden 15. Amara Meyer also reached double figures with 10 points. Jamie Read (5), Ellie Murphy (3) and Emily Vinkemeier (2) were the other scorers for the Tigers.

Fogarty also led the team in assists with four and steals three. Murphy had a team-high 10 rebounds, followed by Meyer, Read and Fogarty with nine, eight and seven, respectively.

Hayden added six rebounds.

“I thought that we played fairly well considering it was our

first game with a new coach and a new style of play,” said Tigers coach Randy Carlson. “The first half was a little rugged and we had a little lull at the end of the half that allowed WEM to close the gap to six.

“In the second half, we played a lot better and seemed a lot more comfortable. I think our pressure and depth caught up to them,” Carlson continued.

NRHEG 80, Tigers 37 Division I prospect and junior point guard Carlie Wagner poured in 32 points, including 20 in the first half, as the Panthers grabbed a 41-22 halftime lead and cruised the rest of the way.

“We ran into a good team in mid-season form while we are just starting to learn a new system and it showed tonight,” Carlson said. “We played hard and competed, which is important. We just did not shoot well . . . Ellie Murphy really seemed to find herself in the second half and played at a high level.”

Only four Tigers got into the scoring column. Included were Otto (14), Murphy (10), Hayden (8) and Fogarty (5). Hayden and Murphy both had nine rebounds and Fogarty seven. No other statistics were available.

H.S. Boys’ Basketball

Belle Plaine Hopes to Use Size, Experience to Pile Up Wins

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School boys’ basketball team will get the 2012-13 season started when it travels to WatervilleElysian-Morristown for a 7:30 p.m. tip next Tuesday.

That’s seven days later than when the Tigers were originally scheduled to get the season started due to the fact that Blue Earth Area was busy capping off a six-week-long football postseason run that ended in a state championship a little over a week ago. The Belle Plaine at Blue Earth Area game has been pushed back to the end of the regular season schedule (Feb. 28).

As for next week’s start of the season, the Tigers will have a number of their top guns back from last year’s team that finished with a record of 7-7 in the MRC, 11-15 overall, which included a disheartening triple overtime loss in the first round of the Section 2AA Tournament

at Kenyon-Wanamingo.

Included among the returnees for Belle Plaine are both its allconference players from last season – junior guard Aaron Bigaouette and junior center Gavin Dauwalter, the latter of whom was 6-4 his sophomore season. Center Alec Koepp, who is 6-9 and was the Tigers’ all-conference honorable mention selection last year, is back for his senior season.

Bigaouette averaged 9.9 points, five rebounds and five assists per game last season.

He was the team’s best outside shooter, making 38 percent of his three-point attempts. He also led the team in minutes played and was one of the best defenders.

Dauwalter averaged 9.6 points and 10.2 rebounds per game last year and had the highest shooting percentage on the team (50.8 percent). Meanwhile, Koepp was among the team leaders in rebounds and blocked shots. He recently signed a letter of intent to study and play basketball at the University of Minnesota, Crookston.

The other starter/regular returning is senior guard Jack Winders. Other letterwinners back are seniors Jacob Meger (forward), Luke Bristlin (forward), Brandon Boateng (center); and junior Sam Karl (forward).

Among the graduated are forward Dan Beal and guards JP Bergs and Everett Kruschke.

New to the varsity roster this season are senior Digger Oestreich (guard); juniors Cameron Lark (guard), Colton Hentges (guard), Chase Emmers (guard), Chris Holmbeck (guard), Ricky Fogarty (guard), Mitch Nelson (forward), Zach Oestreich (forward); and freshman Luke Narveson.

When asked how the team compares in practice so far this season to a year ago, third-year head coach John Wellner said there’s still a lot of work to be done.

“We are ahead of last year in some parts but behind in other parts. We have a lot of potential varsity basketball players but they need to get accustomed to the speed of the game and adjust their mind-set to understand what is expected of them at the varsity level. Consequently, there is a lot of competition for playing time and we are looking to see who can perform on a consistent basis.”

“We have a great group of kids who will play hard every night,” Wellner continued. “We are excited about this year.”

Team strengths?

“We will have good size and versatility with players being able to play different positions.

With that size, we should be able to out-rebound every opponent. We also want our defense to be a strength this year,” Wellner said.

The coach added that the team could use some more depth at the guard position and “is looking for some players to step up and make outside shots consistently.”

“We want to use our size to score inside and then hit outside shots when teams collapse on our post players. We also want to use our defense to get into a full-court game to get easy baskets,” said Wellner, adding that “everyone needs to become better free throw shooters.”

Defending MRC champion Watertown-Mayer, which was 14-0 in conference play in 2011-12, graduated all three of its all-conference players from last year as well as its honorable mention recipient. Included among those players lost is forward Nate Kratch, who averaged 18 points and 14 rebounds in 2011-12 en route to being named the conference’s MVP. Mayer Lutheran, which finished second at 10-4, graduated two of its three all-conference players.

The Tigers finished in a threeway tie for second place last year with Jordan and Norwood Young America at 7-7. Jordan has both its all-conference selections back (forwards Jake Anderson and Nate Beckman), while NYA has one all-MRC player back in guard Tom Messner.

“It is a very tough conference this year, the deepest it has been in years,” Wellner said. “Sibley East, Jordan, Mayer-Lutheran all have a lot of good players returning. Watertown-Mayer lost a lot from last year but always seems to reload, and NYA is always tough.”

Wellner said the top teams in the section heading into the

season appear to be St. Peter, Maple River and Hayfield.

As for Wellner’s team goals for 2012-13, not all of them can be accomplished just on the basketball court.

“Get better every day and play hard, smart and together every game, and have the best team GPA (grade-point-average) in the section.”

H.S. Wrestling

Scott West Second at Lakeville The Scott West wrestling team got the 2012-13 season underway with a second-place finish at the 14-team Lakeville Invitational on Saturday.

Hudson, Wis., took first place with 183 points. Scott West had 172, followed by host Lakeville North (117), Park of Cottage Grove (112.5), Chaska/ Chanhassen (112), Henry Sibley (107.5), Farmington (99), Lakeville South (98.5), New Richmond, Wis., (92), Woodbury (90), Northfield (88), South St. Paul (82), Eagan (75) and Turtle Lake, Wis. (16). “Our initial team objective was to win this tournament,� insists Scott West coach Darren Ripley. “We came up a little short today so now it’s time to move ahead and take on the next challenge.�

That challenge will be a dual meet at Eden Prairie on Thursday night, followed by an early-season Section 2AA quad in

Hutchinson that will include the #12 AA-rated Tigers along with Mankato East and New Ulm. “Hutchinson has a solid team and program,� states Ripley. “We will really need to be ready to wrestle to beat them on their home mat.�

Lakeville Tourney Results The Panthers had four wrestlers with championship performances. Included were sophomore David Flynn at 120, junior Zach Siegle at 132, senior Luke Zilverberg at 145 and sophomore Andrew Fogarty at 160. “We had a very good championship round going four for four,� cites Ripley. “There were some really good matchups and our wrestlers got some quality wins here.�

The first of those Scott West quality championship wins came from Flynn at 120 as he bettered New Richland, Wisconsin’s Shane Blackman by a

score of 9-2. After falling behind 2-1 in the opening period, Flynn scored a match-changing five-point reversal as he caught and held Blackman on his back.

Flynn took a 6-2 lead into the third period and would close the match with a pair of two-point near falls as he had his opponent on his back with a cradle late in the match. The win gave Flynn his second straight Lakeville North Invitational championship as he won the 103-pound bracket a year ago. “It was a good start to the year for David,� states Ripley. “He beat a couple of good opponents today and was tough on top as usual.�

At 132 pounds, Siegle was tough from all positions throughout the day as he went unscored upon in three matches. Siegle advanced to the championship final with a 15-0 technical fall over Hudson’s CJ Steiner. “Zach is really flowing in his wrestling right now as well as I have ever seen,� comments Ripley. “He should really be fun to watch this year.�

Siegle would finish off his championship performance with a dominating 7-0 win over Chaska’s #9-rated Trent Butcher. Like Flynn, it was Siegle’s second straight Lakeville North Invitational championship as he won the 113-pound bracket a year ago.

A couple of weight classes later at 145 pounds, Zilverberg would take out another highlyranked wrestler as he battled his way to a 4-2 championship win over Woodbury’s #3-rated Ben Donnelly. After a scoreless first period between the pair of #3-rated wrestlers in their respective classes, Zilverberg had a big second period as he scored all four of his points in the period behind a reversal and a beautiful slide by duck take

Prior Lake Woman Named Mrs. Scott County 2013 Lyon is Author and Advocate for Bereaved Parents Amy Lyon of Prior Lake has been named Mrs. Scott County 2013, and will represent the county in the Mrs. Minnesota International Pageant in St. Cloud March 16-17, 2013.

A presentation on Lyon’s platform will take place Tuesday, Dec. 11, 9 a.m., at the start of the Scott County Board meeting.

During the next year, Lyon, 36, will volunteer her time speaking to various civic and community groups to promote her platform, “Healing After Loss.� She will also continue to be available for support groups and to serve as a support person for parents who have lost a child. “This is an incredible opportunity to share my story and offer hope to those who have experienced a loss of any kind,� said Lyon. “I want people to know that it is possible to heal, and moving forward does not have to mean moving on.�

Lyon’s daughter, Isabelle, passed away in 2007 at four months of age from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

The charities that will beneďŹ t from Lyon’s work include the Minnesota-based Baby Angels Foundation and the Minnesota Children’s Hospital Sudden Infant Death Center.

Lyon also hopes that her ďŹ rst published book, “Only God Knows Why: A Mother’s Memoir of Death and Rebirth,â€? will ďŹ nd its way into the hands of those who need it most. The book was released in September 2012.

KIJEC;H FFH;9?7J?ED 7O Celebrating 130 Years of Serving the Community Sarah Bazey, who was named Mrs. Minnesota 2012 in March and Mrs. International 2012 in July, will also be in at the board meeting. Both Lyon and Bazey will share information about their respective platforms.

Lyon currently works as a community newspaper editor for the Savage Pacer. She enjoys gardening, blogging, home remodeling, and quiet nights with friends and family.

Her husband, Chad, manages a Walgreens store, and their son, Wyatt, is 4 years old and attends preschool. “What intrigued me most about this opportunity is the emphasis that the Mrs. International system puts on family and volunteerism,� said Lyon. “Those are the two most important things in my life.�

For more information about Amy Lyon, visit www.amylyon.com Beginning 22 years ago, Mrs. International was developed to promote higher standards than other pageant systems, showcasing women 21 to 56 years old, married at least six months, and a resident of her state or a citizen of her country.
