Valentine’s Day Never Far Behind Michael and Patricia Glisczinski’s Anniversary There’s Been 60 and Counting Approximately 270 friends and relatives attended Michael and Patricia Glisczinski’s 60th wedding anniversary Saturday at the Knights of Columbus Hall in New Prague. The event may not have been possible if not for the 1950 Le Sueur County Fair, where Michael and Patricia went on their ﬁrst date together. That was followed by a night out at a nearby dance hall. Patricia, who was born in Platte, S.D., before moving to the St. Peter area with her family, graduated from Cleveland High School in 1947. She then spent the next few years studying nursing at the College of St. Catherine’s in St. Paul, graduating as a registered nurse in 1950. It was while working at the community hospital in New Prague when Patricia met Michael’s sister, Rita, who was a nurse’s aid. Rita arranged for Patricia to visit the Glisczinski family’s farm home in rural Belle Plaine. “We met on the front yard of

They’re All About Roses Today Valentine’s Day Demand Places Premium on Romantic Flower

Lori Voigt, floral manager at Coborn’s, expects she ordered enough roses to meet demand on Valentine’s Day. “Last year, we ran out,” she said. There’s a big difference when it comes to the floral departments at Coborn’s and Emma Krumbee’s in Belle Plaine. Tomorrow, however, they’re both all about roses. Red ones, white, yellow, orange – they’ve got ‘em all. Red roses are the flower for that someone special, said Cheryl Flynn, Emma Krumbee’s general manager. Red is the sign of love, especially a single red rose. Yellow is a sign of friendship. Pink stands for appreciation and admiration. A yellow rose with a red tip is for the special someone you’re falling head over heels in love with. Whatever the color, Flynn and her counterpart expect to sell plenty of them. On a typical week, Lori Voigt,

Cheryl Flynn and the designers at Emma Krumbee’s General Store have been working long hours to have arrangements ready for Valentine’s Day deliveries.

the ﬂoral manager at Coborn’s will sell nearly all the 15 dozen long-stem and 14 dozen mini roses she keeps on hand. Tomorrow, Voigt expects almost all of the 150 dozen roses she’s ordered will go out the door. “Last year, we ran out. We had 90 dozen,” she said. “We could have sold more, that’s why we brought in more this year.” Flynn is also expecting a big day. She’s ordered 400 longstem red roses and another 200 in pink, yellow and orange. Both Flynn and Voigt have been busy gearing up for the Valentine’s Day rush.

Preparation

Like Voigt, Flynn and her staff have been busy preparing the roses. They arrived last week and have been kept in water in a cooler. “It keeps them fresher longer,” Flynn said. Flynn and two other designers spent Friday clipping the ends

of the long stems and the weekend putting bouquets together. Her designers need only about 15 minutes to put an arrangement together, she said. Emma Krumbee’s will have two full-time drivers working tomorrow. A third driver will be available in case of an emergency or rush order. Voigt doesn’t worry about deliveries. At Coborn’s, convenience is the key. She’s got dozen of roses in the cooler, ready to go. Voigt doesn’t really design bouquets, but will be on hand to add a little extra ﬂair to the basic bouquet for a small additional charge. Both Emma’s and Coborn’s keep additional ﬂowers and plants on hand, too. Valentine’s Day is a big contributor to the bottom line, particularly at Emma Krumbee’s

BPHS One-Act Play Group Captures Another Star

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School one-act play group put the ﬁnishing touches on another stellar year by capturing the school’s sixth “starred” performance rating in seven years and the 10th in the last 20 at Friday’s Minnesota State High School League One-Act Play Festival at O’Shaughnessy Auditorium on the campus of St. Catherine University in St. Paul. Belle Plaine, which performed “Ridiculosis by Proxy” as its

2013 entry, was one of three schools from Class 1A to receive a star Friday, which featured eight performances. A total of 208 schools from Class 1A competed in one-act play this season. Joining Belle Plaine in concluding the season with the highest honor possible were Sauk Centre for its production of “The Deviners” and St. Paul Academy and Summit School for its performance of “The Yellow Wallpaper.” The other

state-qualiﬁers were Fillmore Central, Win-E-Mac, Mountain Lake, Wadena-Deer Creek and Eveleth-Gilbert. All those acts were prior to the three that would go on to receive star ratings, with Belle Plaine being the last to perform on Friday. The Minnesota State High School League One-Act Play Festival does not involve direct competition. Judges rate the

Hospice refers to supportive care that assists patients in living comfortably and to their fullest extent. Hospice is one component of the broader palliative care delivery, which is a multidisciplinary team approach to caring for seriously ill people and their families. Volunteers play an essential role in hospice care by offering comfort to patients and respite to caregivers. Volunteers go through a threeday, 18-hour formal training process where conversations, lectures, role playing, team projects and videos prepare them for both palliative care and hospice care. Volunteers learn about bereavement, body mechanics, communication, feeding, infection control, pain management and proper patient transfer techniques.

Typically, volunteers visit the patient once or twice per week and interact through conversation, meal assistance and light housekeeping. Most importantly, they are a vital contributor to the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supportive care team. Although the majority of volunteers choose to work directly with patients, there is also a need for volunteers who prefer to help with clerical and other general office duties. Time commitments and activities of the volunteer program are flexible. For more information or to apply, call 507-385-6364 or 1800-327-3721, ext. 6364 (tollfree). Hospice volunteers have the opportunity to participate in patient care in Gaylord, Le Center, Le Sueur, Madelia, Mapleton, Mankato, St. James, St. Peter, Waseca and their surrounding communities.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Dr. Kelly Smith is a candidate for the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota. This man is a highly qualified candidate and deserves a hard look by our elected leaders who will be making this decision. His stewardship of the Belle Plaine School District has been outstanding during his tenure and his management style is worthy of praise. I worked with him in my position with the Belle Plaine Schools and can attest to his energy, ethics, and drive to make things better for children/ students. These attributes have served him well and will continue to do so for this district. All of his professional experiences have helped him to reach the high level of excellence he has secured. I hope that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;powers that beâ&#x20AC;? look his direction when making this important decision.

Patricia Ann Ryan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ryan, became the bride of Michael Glisczinski, son of Michael and the late Mrs. Glisczinski of Belle Plaine. The Tigers gave the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-place team, Montgomery, a run for their money before dropping a 52-47 decision. Pete Johnson took scoring honors with 19 points. The Independents extended their string of consecutive wins to six straight by defeating Shakopee 68-55.

1982-83 Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Eighth Grade Basketball Team The 1982-83 Belle Plaine eighth grade girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball team completed the season with a record of 6-4. In the back row, from left, are Theresa Wynne, Julie Traxler, Lynn Jeurissen, Pam Legg, Barb Weirke and coach LaVerne Larson. In the middle row are Laura Personius, Sally Halbmaier, Julie Halquist, Joanne Mabee and Sara Miller. In the front row are Cathy Schwartz and Sheral Kahle. Larry Thompson, clerk/treasurer for the city of Belle Plaine the past three years, was leaving to accept another position in Farmington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very difficult choice,â&#x20AC;? said Thompson on the decision to move. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t emphasize enough that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed this job.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Fran Schuman said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re losing a darn good man.â&#x20AC;? Thompson, who described the move as a career move, was selected among 135 applicants for the Farmington job, where he would oversee 25 city employees. It was announced that a new womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing store would be opening in Belle Plaine soon, just in time to show the latest spring fashions. Elsieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clothes Patch, run by Elsie Wolff, was scheduled to open in mid-April in the building that housed Mike Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tavern for many years. Elsie said she not only planned to have a wide range of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing, but also a fabric and alteration department. The Combined Charity Drive, which for the past 15 years had been run by the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce, was in need of a new sponsor. It was the chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts, spearheaded by Robert Miller, which put an end to many, many individual drives by charities 15 years previous and combined them into one drive. Miller headed the drive for 11 years and Bill Chard had become chairman the past four years. Both men confessed that it took a tremendous amount of time and many volunteers to have a successful campaign. At that Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chamber meeting, no one volunteered to be chairman for the coming year, and it was suggested that perhaps another

organization in the community might be interested in taking over the project. Some apparently wild pheasants had been behaving strangely around the Belle Plaine area recently, deciding to make their homes in garages and gasoline stations. A hen pheasant wandered into garage at the Brad Krick home that Sunday and showed no signs of wanting to leave, according to LeeAnn Krick. The bird was eventually caught and brought to the home of Roger Thomason, who raised pheasants. Roger Martin also found a rooster pheasant wandering around the Skelly Fuel Stop. It walked into the station, across the platform toward the Gregory farm but was soon back walking around near the gas pumps. Martin said he opened the door and the bird walked inside. The Belle Plaine high school boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball team lost to Arlington-Green Isle 57-51. The lost dropped the slumping Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; record to 10-5. Four Tigers scored in double figures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brent Meyer (15), Erik Johnson (11), Kevin Wolpern (10) and Jeff Fogarty (10). Belle Plaine had just three games left to get ready for the tournament season. The Tiger girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cagers won two close games that week, defeating Le Sueur 37-34 and Cleveland 38-37. Mary Leonard led Belle Plaine against Le Sueur with 12 points, and Melanie Martin was tops against Cleveland with nine.

60 Years Ago (1953)

The local Creamery Day had the biggest turnout ever with 500 people attending. The operating report for the past year, given by Manager Fred Heiland, showed that the creamery did close to a million-dollar business. In the election of two directors, Art Laabs and John F. Newell were unanimously elected. Harold LeVander was guest speaker. An ancient pipe was given to Rev. William F. Tinge of the Redeemer Church by his father-in-law, Rev. Chr. Heuer of Le Sueur. The German pipe embossed the date of 1716. Carl Baumatz, former resident of Belle Plaine, was reported to be in critical condition with three bullet wounds. He just happened to be around when the crazed Hutchinson farmer

went berserk, killing his mother, brother and a neighboring school boy. The 70th annual Minnesota Dental Association convention was held in the Minneapolis auditorium. Dr. D.W. Wilson of Belle Plaine was president of the state association and was in charge of the convention program. Charles M. Kopp, who served as sheriff of Scott County from 1902 to 1922, died at his home in Shakopee at the age of 86. A Scott County Chapter of the Cancer Society was formed. Mrs. Rose Grosser was unanimously elected county commander. Death took one of our esteemed matrons, Mrs. Nettie Bromaghim, widow of the late Dr. W.C. Bromaghim. She was 75 years old. Members of the Carver South Side Extension Club honored Mrs. Earl Schmidt at a housewarming party in her new home. Emil G. Ashauer announced that he was on his own in operation of his heating and plumbing work. He had temporarily set up shop in the large cement block garage on the Charles Bowler property. Mrs. Fred Kruger, daughter of Mrs. August Mahlmann, left to join her husband in Erding, Germany, where he was stationed with the Air Force. A.A. Hahn, president of Fairway Association, went to St. Paul to check on plans for the annual convention, which opened at the municipal auditorium. Four hospital beds and five beside tables were purchased by the local VFW and Legion posts. That made six hospital beds, two wheel chairs and five tables that were available to the public at no charge. Elmer Ruehling, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herb Ruehling, took first place in a Scott County radio speech contest at Jordan. Elmer, who was a sophomore at Belle Plaine High School, was to go to the district contest in St. Paul. The construction job at Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s river bridge to reinforce the piers was completed, but not without more mishaps.

Furniture dealer W.W. Thompson left for Buffalo to open a new furniture store. Many townfolk kept a cow and many pastured the cows on the streets. The cows would soon find the feed was good in the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sleigh boxes and the farmers had to have the marshal round up the cows.

Gellenbeck saw a wolf running through his backyard and a crowd immediately gave chase. The wolf finally ran into H.S. Sistermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chicken house, where it was killed with an ax.

words, his budget plan is not â&#x20AC;&#x153;balancedâ&#x20AC;? and continues to use accounting gimmicks such as a continued delay in payments to our schools. The governor has called for $22 in tax increases for every $1 in spending reductions â&#x20AC;Ś not exactly a balanced approach, in my opinion. Â Sincerely, Rep. Kelby Woodard

Dear Editor, Â This week Governor Mark Dayton laid out a positive vision to build a better Minnesota. I appreciate his forward-thinking approach to put our state on a path to long-term fiscal stability and economic prosperity. In his third State of the State address, the Governor called the status quo of deep cuts short-sighted. Accounting gimmicks and borrowing from our future has not served Minnesota well. As the Governor said in his speech, â&#x20AC;&#x153;trying to cut our way to a better Minnesota is a failed experiment.â&#x20AC;? I am committed to working with my colleagues and Governor Dayton to build a strong economy by investing in our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education. Our state historically takes pride in our education system, but over the past decade weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve fallen behind. We must equip our young people with the tools and skills they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive internationally integrated economy. I agree with the Governor on his assessment that we need to reduce property taxes. The consistent increase hits low and middle-income earners much harder. Middle class families have been squeezed too much in the last ten years. Wages have remained flat while the cost of living has steadily increased. Many Minnesotans are finding it harder to save for retirement and send their kids to college. As the Governor said, this is not the Minnesota we want to leave our children. We need Minnesota to be a state that invests in its people and provides quality, efficient services. Lastly, I applaud Governor Dayton for his efforts to expand access to affordable health care. Our state is on track to create a cutting-edge health insurance exchange that will enable individuals, families, and businesses to make well-informed choices when selecting quality coverage. I believe this is an important step towards ensuring care for all Minnesotans. This is an exciting time for our state. We have a real opportunity to put Minnesota on sound fiscal footing for years to come. I share the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of a state that works for everyone based on a strong foundation of affordable health care, a great education for our kids, a transportation system built to last, and living wage jobs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to roll up our sleeves and work together to create good jobs, support our students, and balance the budget in a way that is fair and responsible. As the legislative session continues, please keep sending me your thoughts, ideas, and feedback about how we can move Minnesota forward. You can reach me by phone at (651) 296-0171, by email at rep.david.bly@house.mn, or by postal mail at 559 State Office Building, 100 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., St. Paul, MN 55155.

Friends of Rush River

School Board Gives Preliminary by Beverly Brandt The Friends of Rush River OK to Smith’s New Contract group met at the Henderson RoadHaus Jan. 30. It was called to order by President Tom Bender. The secretary’s report was read and approved. Dues for the year 2013 are now due – $10 single and $15 family. The 2013 fund-raiser has been set for March 2. Mark it on your calender. Campsite areas on the south side of the lower park have been cleared and will be ready for use this season. Sites are in great shaded areas. Check them out when in the park. The lawn mowing quote was again given to K & K Lawn Care (Allen Schmicking) after a very good job done in 2012. Buesgens Pumping and Renville Sibley will again be asked for their services for this season. Geib will check out and repair the pump on the well in the main area. A memorial plant was sent to the Leo Anderly family for the funeral of Jackie Anderly. Thank you Leo for all the work ou did to get our park where it is today. Banners will be out for the March 2 fund-raiser dance. Tickets can be purchased for $7 in advance or $10 at the door. Posters will be distributed in the area and advertising will be on the area cable stations – watch for both. There will again be a bucket raffle with chances sold and there are already a few items to try for. Another summer dance has been scheduled for Aug. 24 at the park. The Rumblin’ River Band will play. Two- to three-inch trees are needed for planting on the south side of the renovated area along the river (along the outside of the wild grass seeding). Anyone having some – preferably burlap wrapped, let the group know. The election of officers took place with all positions staying the same but with the addition of Jamie Hiles, Ronda Goblirsch and Gabby Kaiser to the board of directors. Remember to again bring a donation to the March 2 dance for the Sibley County Food Shelf. The next meeting will be Feb. 27 at 7:30 p.m. Plan now to attend and further plan the year’s fund-raiser.

Alzheimer’s Support Group Meets Feb. 19 The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine and its Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association provide resources and a support group for community members whose lives are touched by Alzheimer’s Disease and other memory loss disorders. The monthly support groups are free and open to the public. The next meeting will be Tuesday, Feb. 19 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Kingsway Retirement Center in the Ratzkeller Room (The Lutheran Home-Belle Plaine’s newest community for seniors). “Caring and Sharing” will be the topic. Anyone with questions can contact Sarah Beckius, LSW at The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine at 952-873-2161. Note: Therapeutic Respite Care is available for your loved one with Alzheimer’s/Dementia for the hour while you attend Support Group Meeting.

In the realm of the Belle Plaine School Board’s Superintendent Kelly Smith’s next contract was one of those important tasks directors never seemed to get around to addressing. During a work session Monday night, the board gave its preliminary approval of a new three-year contract that will run from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016 -- a date that could be the end of his professional career when he reaches the so-called rule of 90 (retirement when age and years of service equals 90). The new contract calls for a 3 percent salary increases in each of the next three years, increases that will take his salary from its current $135,000 to $147,520 by 2016. With benefits, the package increases by 6.32 percent to $191,742 by its third year.

by Karen Swenson Researchers at the University of Minnesota published a discovery that could lead to new treatments for breast cancer. A team of 17 researchers, led by College of Biological Scie n c e s Professor Reuben Harris, includes Henderson former resident Michael Burns as lead-author for the study. Discovering the enzyme APOBEC3B that spurs mutations found in breast cancer could aid in finding better treatments for the disease and possibly lead to a cure. “We can’t say that (the enzyme) causes breast cancer,” said Burns, “but we can say that it drives the disease once it starts.” The son of Kathleen and Bryan Swenson of Henderson, Burns was a Class of 2000 graduate of Le Sueur-Henderson and received a bachelor of science in biochemistry from MSU in Mankato in 2006. From 2006 to 2008, Burns worked as an analytical chemist for 3M with pharmaceuticals on track for approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Burns then began graduate school at the U of M. According to Minnesota Daily, the study was published online in the scientific journal, Nature, Wednesday, Feb. 5, and is the culmination of five years of work. “The paper is a characterization of a gene that is misregulated in breast cancer and how

“He does a great job. He’s a great steward for the district,” Lenz said. “He’s always on top of everything, like technology or issues at the legislature. He’s top notch.” Lenz said the contract Smith proposed was “very fair” and carries less of an increase by percentage than what other local bargaining groups sought and received. His salary was frozen at $132,000 for three years. Smith is paid less than what other superintendents leading like-sized districts earn, Lenz said. Of the superintendents and their current posts in Scott and Carver counties, Smith is the longest serving. “To his credit, he could have asked for more,” Lenz said, adding he would have no trouble justifying the contract in the community. Smith said he “tried to be reasonable” in his proposal. With 33 years in education, 21 as a superintendent, Smith said he wanted to stay with the Belle Plaine School District. Looking out four years, he’s not sure what his life or career plans will be by the end of the contract.

The board will formally address the three-year agreement at its monthly business meeting, Feb. 25, 6 p.m., at the District Center. Smith has been with the Belle Plaine School District since the summer of 2004. With his contract expiring June 30, Smith wanted the board to deal with the contract, one way or the other. Many of the attractive open superintendent positions in the area had already seen their application periods close. If Belle Plaine didn’t want him, Smith knew he had to start looking for a job somewhere else. Director Matt Lenz, the school board’s chairman, took responsibility for the delay in dealing with Smith’s contract. Smith had contacted him back in November about the issue. Lenz and Director Judy Nagel recently sat down with Smith and finalized the details of his proposal. Lenz said there was no doubt the board wanted to keep Smith on the job in Belle Plaine. He noted Smith’s solid performance review last year.

Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance was one of three Class A performances to achieve the Star rating and marks the third consecutive year and sixth year out of the last seven years that the program has achieved a Star rating. Great job, everyone and congratulations on another successful season! Tournament time really begins to kick into high gear in the coming weeks as our wrestling team begins team competition this Thursday at Jordan at 7:30 p.m. against the winner of the Waconia and New Ulm match that begins at 6 p.m. If the Panthers are successful on Thursday, tournament competition continues on Saturday at Watertown-Mayer beginning at 4 p.m. and concluding with the championship match at 6 p.m. Individual competition begins next Friday and Saturday at Waconia. Good luck, Panthers! Girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball and boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball seasons are winding down as well with seeding for each of the teams occurring in the coming weeks. More details will be provided as the seeding occurs for each team. Good luck with the remaining portion of your regular season schedules, Tigers! One of the items in Governor Daytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget proposal from several weeks ago that was encouraging to me was the proposal to double the amount of funding that is available to counties through the Mental Health Services grant program. Currently, Scott County is in the last year of a three year grant through this program that provided mental health professionals to each of the Scott County school districts. Without increased, or at a minimum the same funding, our schools were at risk of losing this valuable service. Mental health professionals are a tremendous asset to our school program as they work with our students who are confronting serious mental health issues in increasing numbers. The services that these counselors provide help these students (and families) be more productive in their everyday lives. Local school districts do not receive funding for this type of service so we are very grateful to the County for their support through this grant. I will be speaking with all of our area legislators about the importance of this funding for all students in hopes that the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal becomes a reality in this area. Parent-teacher conferences are in session this week at our elementary schools with the last day scheduled for Thursday. Our junior and senior high school conferences are scheduled for February 21 and 25. Parent-teacher conferences are a vital part of the effort to ensure that all children are achieving at their potential. I encourage all parents to participate in parent-teacher conferences to learn more about their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational program and to provide input about their child to appropriate teachers. 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!

a 1946 graduate of New Prague High School, had recently completed a tour of duty in the Army, having served in Korea. Michael would return to the Pacific a quarter-of-a-century later, this time with Patricia at his side for their 25th wedding anniversary, which they spent in Hawaii. For their 50th anniversary, they settled for Whiskey River Restaurant/Bar in St. Peter. Through the years, Michael and Patricia have accompanied each other on a number of other trips, including Hawaii (again), Texas and Canada to name a few. Michael said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always particularly enjoyed the trips that involve fishing and some camping. The 1950 Le Sueur County Fair was not a bad one either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no complaints,â&#x20AC;? said Michael, summing up his 60 years of marriage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had our arguments but nothing big.â&#x20AC;?

After a survey conducted two years ago with other metro and like-sized counties, Scott County is again asking residents for their opinions on county services, programs, initiatives and priorities for the future. The county recently mailed out about 1,500 surveys to randomly selected residences throughout Scott County. The questions are designed to apply to the participating counties and be unique to Scott County. The county recently sent out 1,500 surveys. Results from 500 completed surveys -- 100 from each commissioner district -- are due back in the spring. The county is expecting a 33 to 37 percent response rate, a level considered within statistical sampling norms. Commissioner Tom Wolf of Credit River Township, the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chairperson, said the survey would cost Scott County about $19,600. By consensus, commissioners OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d the survey and its cost at an offcamera workshop last November. Wolf is hoping for better informa-

tion than the last time the county conducted a survey in conjunction with the other counties. He said the survey two years ago provided information that was too vague, too generalized to be of much use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If comes back that way again, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the last time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m supporting money for a survey,â&#x20AC;? he said. Staff used the information to formulate its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Delivering What Mattersâ&#x20AC;? initiative, a program for providing what it deems high-quality services residents deem the most important. Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s county board rep., Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township, has long been skeptical of surveys. He once favored placing a suggestion box at the doorway to the government center rather than spending taxpayer dollars on a survey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re elected. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our job to know what our constituents think, what they want,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure people will tell us they want good roads, nice parks, strong public safety and low taxes.â&#x20AC;?

Area Presence Gives Cenex 30-Second TV Ad Staying Power You saw it during the Super Bowl coverage last year, and again this year. It has also run on local TV programming as well. The Cenex ad highlighting its â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tanks of Thanksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign is in part successful because of the local images that met the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to smaller, rural communities. A local farmer, Ted Kornder and his sons, from St. Lawrence Township played a key role in the development of the ad that ran in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana, Washington and Wisconsin. The crew looking for the locations to symbolize Cenexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s values hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t found just the right images. Based in Minneapolis, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the area as well as a longtime farmer working land just outside Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city limits. It was on a warm Sunday afternoon in August of 2011 when a free-lance producer from New York City stopped at the Kornder farm at the intersection of Highway 169 and Old Highway

169 Boulevard. The producer, Alec Sash, was captivated by the rows of colorful flowers on the south side of Kornderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmstead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (the locations crew) were the weakest link. They were sent on a wild goose chase,â&#x20AC;? Sash said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we found Ted, it all came together. He was huge. He was spot on.â&#x20AC;? The production company working on the 30-second commercial had a storyboard depicting the kinds of images that would support Cenexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message kicking off the Tanks of Thanks campaign, a promotion to reward people in town for acts of personal selflessness and betterment of the community. The ad kicking off the campaign has an expected life of about three years, said Ann Mann, director of energy advertising and communications for Cenexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parent company, CHS. They were looking around the outer edges of the metro area and wanted to incorporate some of Cenexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newer and betterlooking facilities, like the one

in Belle Plaine, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The (Belle Plaine) area lent itself well to the message,â&#x20AC;? she said. Kornder took the time to show the visiting producer around the area. The tour included stops at the St. Lawrence Town Hall, area ballparks, farms, the local Cenex station on East Main Street and back to his own farm to check out the vintage Ford Mustang he and his sons are shown collectively working on during the ad. In addition to Kornder and his sons, Tony and Nick, working on the Mustang, the commercial includes images of New Prague High School girls tending flowers at the historic St. Lawrence Township Hall and a youth baseball game at the ball field in Union Hill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything we needed, Ted showed us,â&#x20AC;? Sash said. The ad took three days of filming and several hours of editing to prepare for TV. Its first major airing was during last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Super Bowl.

Tony Hartmann and Peter Jacobson, pictured receiving their medals Friday, have co-directed BPHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-act play the past seven years, six of those ending with a star rating at state.

One-Act (continued from page 1)

plays according to specific criteria, including pace, blocking, costuming and projection of the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meaning. Each production is limited to 10 minutes of stage preparation and 35 minutes of actual performance. With the exception of one â&#x20AC;&#x153;excellent,â&#x20AC;? all three judges graded Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play Friday with the highest marks possible (exemplary) in all five categories, which are (1) physical characterizations, (2) vocal characterizations, (3) technical elements, (4) educational value and (5) overall effectiveness of ensemble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have set the bar quite high for yourselves and 99 percent of the time you surpass that bar,â&#x20AC;? stated one judge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This (play) takes off like a bang and sustains the energy and focus. You must be exhausted.â&#x20AC;? Belle Plaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first starred performance rating occurred in 1993. The others were in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and now 2013. All of those performances were preceded by section championships. Tony Hartmann and Peter Jacobson have co-directed the BPHS one-act play group the past seven years, six of which ended with a star rating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past two months, the students really became a tightknit family,â&#x20AC;? Hartmann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They developed their acting skills and learned a great deal about theater in the process. They worked hard by putting in long hours at practice and gave up some of their weekends to put together a quality show. The one-act experience is truly a memory the students will cherish for a lifetime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will sadly lose six seniors this year to graduation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kelly Morrison, Erin Winters, Mitchell Farmer-Lies, Cassidy Pumper, Kyle Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and Taylor Bergland,â&#x20AC;? Hartmann continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their talents, leadership and dedication to our program will surely be missed. We are already looking ahead to next year as the talent pool of actors and actresses at BPHS is deep, and they just keep coming. Again, Belle Plaine would not have this success if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the teachers, administrators, community members and parents who have willingly donated their time, talents, advice and money to our theater program.â&#x20AC;? About This Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Play â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rediculosis by Proxyâ&#x20AC;? is about how a community responds when an unknown, unnamed, symptomless disease

begins to ravage its citizens. The play provides a warning that the disease we most fear may already have infected us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; waiting and lurking. Do not waste time with the hospitals, for the disease is 300 percent fatal in most cases and 400 percent in others. Once the disease is named, then, and only then, should you report to the nearest undertaker immediately. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cast included Kyle Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien (Puppet Master), Alex Lorenz (Paper Boy/Phone Caller), Kelly Morrison (Evelyn), Kali Gorman (Beatrice), Nick Johnson (Love Sick Man), Jake Hartmann (Coffin Man), Rylee Pumper (Gossiper #1), Hannah Burmeister (Gossiper #2), Aiden Winterfeldt (Outraged Man/Coffin Man), Mikhayla Clausen (Gossiper

Tigers Get Run Over by Jags by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team had only one outing last week and it wasn’t pleasant as Minnesota River Conference rival and neighbor Jordan routed the Tigers 74-41. The victory kept the Jaguars in a first-place tie in the MRC with Norwood Young America. Both teams are 11-1 with two games to play. Their only losses this season have been to each other. One of those two final games for NYA took place against Belle Plaine Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press. The Tigers entered the game 5-7 in the MRC, 8-14 overall. It may have been the Tigers’ final home game of the season as their current record is not what home playoff games are made of. Belle Plaine is scheduled to travel to Tri-City

United for the MRC finale 7:30 p.m. this Friday before heading to Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop for the last regular season game next Tuesday night. Brackets for the upcoming section tournament will be announced next week. Jordan 74, Tigers 41 Poor shooting put the Tigers in a deep hole that they couldn’t crawl out of as the Jaguars cruised to a 33-point victory. “I thought that early in the game we played very well offensively but did not make enough shots,” said Belle Plaine coach Randy Carlson. “We need to keep working on finishing plays. If we would have shot at a 40 percent rate in the first half, we would have been essentially tied at the half.” Instead, Jordan was able to bring a 35-16 lead into intermission, which Belle Plaine

was far from able to overcome. “Jordan is a very good team with a great player. When they are on, they are tough to defend and beat,” Carlson said. “I thought Claire Otto played a strong game for us and Amara Meyer played hard and well the whole night.” Otto was the lone Tiger in double figures with 12 points. Meyer and Mariena Hayden were next with six and five points, respectively, followed by Kalli Koepp, Haley Fogarty and Ellie Murphy with four apiece. Emily Vinkemeier, Erica Selly and Jamie Read each had two. Meyer led the team in rebounds with seven. Jordan’s Madison Dean had a game-high 16 points, all but two of those coming in the first half. Teammates Alex Hancock and Makayla Lambrecht both tossed in 13.

Signing Day Belle Plaine High School senior Brandon Boateng on Friday signed a letter of intent to play football at Ridgewater College in Willmar starting this fall. Boateng, a defensive tackle, was a two-year football letter winner for the Tigers and was one of this year’s captains. Pictured with him in the school library are his father, George, and head BPHS football coach Justin Johnston.

Scott West Gets No. 3 Seed in Section The Scott West wrestling team received the No. 3 seed for the Section 2AA Team Wrestling Tournament and will host either No. 6 Waconia (13-7) or No. 11 New Ulm (6-20) in Thursday night’s quarterfinals at Jordan High School. Waconia and New Ulm will go up against each other at 6 p.m., with the winner taking on Scott West (11-3) at 7:30 p.m. for the right to advance to the semifinal and championship rounds at Watertown-Mayer this Saturday. Scott West will be the heavy

favorite against Waconia or New Ulm, and will likely go up against Minnesota River Conference champion and No. 2 seed Watertown-Mayer (141) in Saturday’s 4 p.m. semifinals at Watertown-Mayer High School. All the Royals have to do to reach the semifinals is beat either No. 7 seed St. Peter (11-11) or No. 10 Delano (4-11) on Thursday to advance to Saturday. If all goes according to seeds, the Belle Plaine/WatertownMayer winner will wrestle for

the section championship at 6 p.m. against either No. 1 seed New Prague (22-3) or No. 4 seed Hutchinson (16-3). Like Scott West and Watertown-Mayer, New Prague and Hutchinson are both heavily favored to get past their first-round opponents Thursday. Scott West lost two close matches to Watertown-Mayer and New Prague during the regular season. Scott West’s only other loss this season came against Class 3A top-ranked St. Michael-Albertville.

H.S. Boys’ Basketball

Belle Plaine Rallies Past S.E.; Succumbs to Mayer Lutheran by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School boys’ basketball team split a pair of Minnesota River Conference games last week, outlasting Sibley East 69-58 on Tuesday before losing at Mayer Lutheran 62-47 on Friday. Belle Plaine, 6-4 in the MRC, 11-9 overall, has a Valentine’s date with conference-leading Jordan (9-2) 7:30 p.m. this Thursday at the BPHS gym. The Hubmen had won 10 games in a row before a two-point loss to Norwood Young America Friday night. The Tigers will be at Watertown-Mayer next Monday night before hosting Norwood Young America the following night. Tip time for both games is scheduled for 7:30. Tigers 69, Sibley East 58 The Tigers overcame a sixpoint deficit at halftime to defeat Sibley East 69-58 Tuesday night in Belle Plaine. The victory completed a season sweep of the Wolverines. “Our defense was terrific this game,” said Tigers coach John Wellner. “We held them to 15 points under their season average. Their zone gave us some trouble in the first half but we made an adjustment in the second half and our guys really executed well. We had good ball movement against the zone in the second half and that led to some more open shots. Luke Narveson really helped with his outside shooting with five three-pointers made. Gavin Dauwalter had a great game and really carried us in the first half. They made an adjustment from the first time we played them and put their 6-10 player (center Max Grabow) on Gavin. He did a tremendous job scoring from a variety of moves. Aaron Bigaouette also played a great game. He didn’t score that much but he controlled the game and had several nice assists through their zone.” Narveson, a freshman, and Dauwalter, a junior, sparked the Tigers with 19 points apiece. They were followed in the scoring column by Alec Koepp (9), Sam Karl (8), Bigaouette (8), Luke Bristlin (3), Jacob Meger (2) and Jack Winders (1). Dauwalter and Koepp had 12 and eight rebounds, respectively. Mayer Luth. 62, Tigers 47 The Tigers once again trailed at halftime (37-28) and also trailed at the end of the game as this time there was no comeback left in them. “You have to give all the credit to Mayer,” Wellner said. “Their defense took us out of everything we wanted to do offensively. We need to improve on attacking the basket against pressure defense. The one player who did attack was Jack Winders and he led us in scoring due to that. They certainly were not going to let our post players beat them. When we were able to get the ball inside, they doubled us. I was proud of the way we kept playing hard and competing. There is a lot of good things to take away from this game.” Winders led Belle Plaine with 12 points, followed by Narveson (11), Bigaouette (7), Dauwalter (6), Karl (5), Koepp (4) and Meger (2). Dauwalter had a team-high six rebounds. Koepp added five. 2012-13 BPHS Boys’ Basketball Results and Remaining Schedule Dec. 11 at WEM L 62-61 Dec. 13 vs. LS-H W 72-65 Dec. 14 at Benson L 55-51 Dec. 21 vs. GFW W 68-52 Dec. 27-28 at St. James Tour. vs. Morris L 60-40 vs. St James W 75-62 Jan. 3 at S.E.

Benefit Will Relieve Some of the Pain from Bruiser’s Passing She has some of the hair from his mane and his shoes. And memories. Next Saturday (Feb. 23) in Henderson, Rachel Lueth, friends, fellow equine enthusiasts and members of the Belle Plaine-based Minnesota Valley Riders will celebrate those memories in a benefit for Lueth and Bruiser at the Henderson Roadhaus in downtown Henderson. The benefit is to help relieve some of the $15,000 in veterinary and medical bills from a catastrophic crash Lueth suffered aboard Bruiser during a barrel race at the Minnesota State Fair Coliseum in September. Lueth, an Arlington resident, and her friends hope to raise $5,000 at the benefit. The benefit begins at 5 p.m. and runs until midnight. It features an all-you-can-east pasta bar, silent auction and raffle. The Eagle River Band will be performing as well. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for children age six to 11. Besides the fund-raising element, Lueth hopes to share the good times she and her horse enjoyed. They’ll celebrate, the competition and training together as they tried to squeeze another second off his time rac-

He had won many trophies and ribbons at various competitions during the three years the two of them competed together. “He was a very gentle horse, very respectful and tolerant of everything I asked him to do,” Lueth said. “He loved to be around people. He was like a giant puppy.”

events that Lueth and Bruiser were racing. The course at the coliseum arena had two riders racing through sets of barrels on opposite sides of the area and racing toward the finish line in the middle. First one across wins. As she turned for the finish line, sprinting toward her competitor, Lueth dropped her head a bit to cut down on any resistance. She never really saw the rider coming toward her until the last possible second. “I didn’t see anything until maybe a millisecond before the impact,” she said. Bruiser’s right shoulder clipped the right side of the oncoming horse and rider. The impact launched Lueth, who was not wearing a helmet several feet into the air. It sent the horse collapsing to the ground in a heap. Lueth suffered a mild concussion and was taken to nearby United Hospital in St. Paul. Bruiser was taken to the U of Minnesota Veterinary Hospital, just off the backside of the fairgrounds. The horse suffered severe nerve damage to his right shoulder and right-front leg. For 12 days at the veterinary hospital, doctors did all they could to help him recover. There were times he could put his weight on the leg, but eventually, compensating for the bad shoulder and leg damaged his left-front leg, causing a tendon to pop. Thirteen days after the crash, Bruiser had been laying down for 18 of 24 hours. It took hospital staff four hours to get him to his feet. “It was like he was asking me if it was OK to let go. I told him it was OK. He’d been through enough,” she said. The benefit will give her the chance at closure, to share the goodbye with others. She’s nervous and hopes to see as many friends as possible. “It’s like your wedding day. You want it to be perfect,” Lueth said. “I want as many people as possible there. It’ll be a celebration.”

Twenty years ago or so, at an elementary school in Belle Plaine, the public dance career of Scott Bergs was born. He took the stage, he recalls, wearing a paper bag on his head — inspired by the then-famous “Unknown Comic,” both for the costume’s comedic value and as a nod to his dancing skills. Once all eyes were upon him, he proceeded to dance, of course, a little disco. “I was the Unknown Disco Dancer at the ﬁfth-grade talent show,” said Bergs, now a partner with Key City Ventures. That was the context he brought with him to his latest public dance feat. He and a host of other wellknown Mankato-area residents will be participating in the

In the wild, the lizard lives in the rocky, semi-desert regions and dry open woodlands of Australia. RADâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit included snakes, a tortoise and an alligator. Dozens of human guests enjoyed crafts and snacks as well.

inaugural Dancing With the Mankato Stars event, a fundraiser for the American Red Crossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mankato chapter. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen or heard of the show, you know how this works. Professional dancers team up with well-known non-dancers (on TV, they are celebrities; in Mankato, they are community movers and shakers) and the dancers try and transform the non-dancers from buffoons to Baryshnikovs ... or something like that. Ultimately the organizers hope the community will turn out to see how the local version of the TV show will go over and pay $15 per person while they do. Bergs has taken the challenge seriously. Just check out his Facebook page, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s posted a series of videos of him talking about his dancing talents, his training, his comparisons with professional athletes. Truth be told, Bergs understands the power of getting the word out. He knows no one watching him that night will be expecting dance ďŹ&#x201A;oor excellence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a balance between dancing and marketing, you go with your strengths,â&#x20AC;? he joked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a great partner who is extraordinarily patient.â&#x20AC;? His partner, for the record, is Emma Glasser, a Minnesota State University student and instructor at Dance Express. He gives Glasser a lot of credit for making him a better dancer. That sentiment was echoed by John Kind, CEO of the Mankato YMCA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for me is seeing how effortless and beautiful she makes it look,â&#x20AC;? Kind said of his partner, Meagan Gerber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got so much more style than I do. I can get the steps, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the ďŹ&#x201A;air, the facial expressions, all those other things.â&#x20AC;? Kind said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not exactly new to working on the stage.While he was a student at MSU, he appeared in 12 stage shows, some of which included singing and dancing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that was a long time

ago,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was 35 or 40 years ago.â&#x20AC;? He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d considered becoming a theater major, but thought better of it and majored in accounting instead. More recently, Kind has also participated in the Ellis Street Singers and Merely Players productions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty excited about it,â&#x20AC;? he said about the new dancing competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;? Unlike the television show, the Mankato event will be a one-nighter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; none of this dragging it out for weeks and weeding people out. There will be judges, and each team will perform one dance. The dance styles will be varied. Organizers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have all the couples doing a jazz or swing dance. Kind and his partner are doing a Broadway-style dance. Paul Finocchiaro, a dance instructor at MSU, will be dancing a jive style with Michelle Schooff, owner of the Red Sky Lounge, and a quick step with Sarah Person, owner of Exclusively Diamonds. Finocchiaro said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a lot of fun so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing I do is teach people how to dance, so for me, I have lots of ways to do it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never worked with novice dancers before, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard. The most important quality I have is patience. ... You have to make them feel comfortable,
