Council Warms Up to German Days’ Request to Conduct Charitable Gambling at Andy’s
There’s a change in the rural landscape, from silos to power lines, as beef cows look on. Workers for CapX 2020 erected transmission line towers on land adjacent to Steve Morrison’s farm in Faxon Township south of Highway 25 Monday. The
towers overlook the Minnesota River, Belle Plaine and Blakeley Township. CapX expects to be erecting towers on the Scott County side of the river, along Stoppelmann Boulevard, next week.
After years of talking about it, the CapX Power 202 transmission line is nearing the Minnesota River and about to cross from Sibley to Scott County.

by Dan Ruud The German Days Committee received a big lift in its longtime quest to bring in some added income when the Belle Plaine City Council voted 4-1 Monday night to direct staff to prepare a resolution to approve the committee’s request for a permit to conduct charitable gambling at Andy’s Bar and Grill downtown. According to the application, which is likely to be officially approved at the council’s next regular meeting on Feb. 19, the charitable gambling proceeds will be used as follows: –$1,000 to Austin Overline to help cover expenses associated with his medical condition. – Fifty percent of the finds will go to town festivals, most notably St. Patrick’s Day and
German Days, including queen scholarships, etc. – The rest of the proceeds will go to donations to Belle Plaine schools, Dollars for Scholars and occasional lawful purpose donations when needs arise. Council Member Cary Coop had made the initial motion to direct staff to prepare a resolution to “deny” the German Days Committee’s request for a charitable gambling permit. He said he didn’t think 50 percent of the proceeds should go toward festivals. That motion failed by a 41 vote after Council Member Paul Chard spoke in support of the German Days Committee’s request. He said the committee

Former Duets Building Sold The building at 108 West Main Street in downtown Belle Plaine that formerly housed Duets sandwich and coffee shop has been sold. Sellers Rick and Mary Krant said the sale was finalized last Wednesday (Jan. 30). A realtor representing the buyers said the buyers did not want to be identified or discuss their plans for the building at this time. They are currently undergoing other processes that they want to
complete before going public with their plans. Duets’ third go-around in the coffee and sandwich shop business ended in late 2011, a decade-and-a-half after original owners Rick and Chris Ruzin had opened the business. The Krants eventually purchased the building and operated Duets for several years. Jenna (Rider) Arkins reopened the business on March 28, 2011 and closed it the following Dec. 9.
Members of BPHS’s one-act play group celebrated following Saturday’s announcement that they successfully defended the school’s Section 2A title.
Belle Plaine Headed Back to State One-Act Play Festival Will Reach for Another Star Friday in St. Paul
by Dan Ruud Tony Hartmann said he and fellow Belle Plaine High School one-act play co-director Peter Jacobson and cast members were “very nervous” while watching the final play of Saturday’s Section 2A One-Act Play Contest at Le Sueur-Henderson High School. Maple River was performing “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton, which Hartmann described as an “excellent” performance. The other section qualifiers (Belle Plaine, St. Peter, Le Sueur-Henderson, Glencoe-SilJessica Schrupp and Jeff Miller are two of the owners of Leg- ver Lake, Mankato Loyola, Anacy. The others (not pictured) are Janeen Miller, Lainey and nandale and Maple Lake) had already performed their plays. Jeremy Schwartz.
“Maple River’s play would have been worthy of a star at state but only one play per section can go,” said Hartmann, adding that he was still nervous about what the judges’ decision would be until the final announcement was made. In the end, it was Belle Plaine that once again came away as the state-qualifier as it received first-place votes from all three judges. Maple River was selected second on each ballot and St. Peter was third. Only the top play advances to state. Judges rate the plays according to specific criteria, including pace, blocking, costuming
and projection of the play’s meaning. Each production is limited to 10 minutes of stage preparation and 35 minutes of actual performance. A total of 16 schools from Class 1A and Class 2A have qualified for this Thursday’s and 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. Of those plays, Belle Plaine will be the last to perform as it will go on stage 4 p.m. Fri-

John A. Bartholow, 89, formerly of Belle Plaine, passed away on January 28, 2013 at Asbury Methodist Village in Gaithersburg, MD. John was born on July 19, 1923 to Harry and Marjorie (Wilson) Bartholow in Yale, IA. A lifelong educator, John graduated from the Iowa State Teachers College (University of Northern Iowa) following his service in the Navy during WWII. He later received a Master’s Degree from Columbia University in New York City and a Doctorate from the University of Wyoming in Laramie, WY. In 1948 he married Martha MacDonald of Guthrie Center, IA. John began his teaching career in Iowa combining his love of history with his love of sports with teaching assignments and coaching girls basketball in several small towns in Iowa. In 1958, John and Martha moved to Minnesota where he served as superintendent of schools in Ruthton, Grey Eagle and most notably in Belle Plaine from 19671987. While in Belle Plaine, John was an active member of Rotary International, the Chamber of Commerce and the Belle Plaine Presbyterian Church, singing in the choir. His passion for education and his love of Belle Plaine was evident during his tenure as Superintendent. It is doubtful that he missed a sporting event or other school activity during his years at Belle Plaine and was a tireless supporter of the students of Belle Plaine. Following his retirement as Belle Plaine Superintendent Schools, John and Martha relocated to Lake Wales, FL where he continued an active retirement life as a member of the Lake Wales Presbyterian Church choir and the Lake Wales Chorale singing group. Retirement also allowed time for several trips travel to Europe and the Middle East allowing John to continue to indulge his lifelong interest in history. In 2007, John and Martha moved north to Asbury Methodist Village in Gaithersburg, MD. While at Asbury, John served as a liturgist at the Asbury Chapel, as a member of the Asbury Foundation and continued his singing as a member of a local men’s quartet. He also continued to faithfully follow the fortunes of the Iowa Hawkeyes, Minnesota Gophers and Florida Gators sports teams. John is survived by his wife Martha; daughter, Joylyn Corey of Millersville, MD; and sons, Dr. John Bartholow II of Eau Claire, WI and Jim Bartholow of Rosemount, MN, their spouses; as well as numerous grandchildren. In memory of John and his commitment to education, the family has asked for memorials to the Belle Plaine Dollars for Scholars fund. These may be sent C/O Joy Corey, 101 Stonestep Court, Millersville, MD 21108.

day, the final of that day’s eight Class 1A plays, which begin at 9:15 a.m. The Class 2A plays will be performed on Thursday. Vying for the coveted star rating Friday with Belle Plaine will be the champions of the state’s seven other Class 1A sections. They and their respective performance times are Fillmore Central (9:15 a.m.), Win-EMac (10 a.m.), Mountain Lake (11 a.m.), Wadena-Deer Creek (11:45 a.m.), Eveleth-Gilbert (1:30 p.m.), Sauk Centre (2:15 p.m.), St. Paul Academy and Summit School (3:15 p.m.) and Belle Plaine (4 p.m.). Belle Plaine’s production of B. Dwyane Craft’s dark comedy “Ridiculosis by Proxy” had won its spot in the section festival by being the top-rated act at the previous week’s subsection competition in Jordan. This marks the sixth time in the last seven years that Belle Plaine has won the section championship. In each of those cases, Belle Plaine’s play was one of only a few to receive a starred performance rating at state, which is the highest honor achievable. Included were 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012. Belle Plaine also won section championships and received star ratings at state in 1993, 1997, 1999 and 2000. Another star rating this Friday would be the 10th in 20 years for Belle Plaine. “Ridiculosis by Proxy” 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 – 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.
How This Year’s Play Came to Be
Hartmann said the show “Ridiculosis by Proxy” was found during the fall after he and Jacobson did some research online looking at one-act play competition sites. “We look for award-winning scripts that do well at other one-act play competitions. The playwright, B. Dwayne Craft, was a familiar name to us, as we did a previous show of his called ‘The Winner” back in 2008, which starred at state. “Over the past several years, we have been used to doing historical shows but we wanted to step out of our comfort zone and try an absurdist play this year,” Hartmann continued. “We contacted Mr. Craft in November and asked him if he had anymore scripts similar to “The Winner” that he would allow us to produce. After talking to him for awhile, Mr. Craft sent us several of his scripts he wrote with his high school students he teaches in Alabama. We read a few of the scripts and selected “Ridiculosis by Proxy” because we believed it would challenge our actors and actresses more than the historical shows we were used to doing in the pre-
vious years.” Hartmann said the one-act season starts in November with tryouts the week after Thanksgiving. “The directors are reading scripts throughout the summer and usually narrow the script choices down to two or three scripts by the time tryouts begin,” Hartmann said. “We have typically been getting anywhere between 30 to 60 kids from grades 7-12 trying out for the one-act play, but we can only cast up to 20 cast and crew members, according to the MSHSL rules. The final script is not decided on until tryouts are finished.” The practice schedule runs from the beginning of December until the end of January. “This year, we had the opportunity to share the show over the Internet via Facetime to the playwright, who watched it live in his home in Madison, Ala.,” Hartmann said. “Mr. Craft was very impressed with the show and the amount of talent that Belle Plaine High School has to offer. After two months of practice, our hard work and effort has finally paid off. We would not have this success if it wasn’t for the huge support staff that helps us out with costuming and make-up, set design, critiques and financial support. “The three-act directors, Alli Jacobson and Ali Burmeister, help out by critiquing our practices and offering their expertise and guidance,” Hartmann continued. “Scott Renne, Lana Beck and Renee and Norm Malecha helped with our set design. Many other school staff, administrators and community members have also offered their time, talents and financial assistance over the years,” Hartmann said. This year’s cast includes Kyle O’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 #3/Motherly Mother), Mitchell Farmer-Lies (Hypochondriac), Erin Winters (Eager Wife), Taylor Bergland (Gossiper #4), Jennifer He (Gossiper #5), Cassidy Pumper (Gossiper #6), Catherine Littlepage (Gossiper #7), Dylan O’Brien (Son), Patrick Selly (Phone Caller), Max Hughes (Puppet/ Politician) and Janessa Meuleners (Understudy/Crew).

NRCS Accepting Applications for State Farm Conservation Program
(continued from page 16) ciety. In exchange, it controlled the amount of space dedicated to Maurice Stans’ personal and professional life. The foundation has relented some and allowed some of the space dedicated to Maurice Stans to be used for other county-related displays, Klehr said. The society rotates displays on Stand every six months to a year, changes occurring far more frequently than at other museums, she said. Wolf offered to facilitate conversations with the foundation on reducing the amount of space in the museum dedicated to Maurice Stans. Klehr said the county historical society is working to provide a more dynamic museum that appeal to a younger audience. She said a $50,000 grant from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community will help the society make better use of its space by funding adjustments in the way the building is used.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is accepting applications to help producers improve water and air quality, build healthier soil, improve grazing and forest lands, conserve energy, enhance organic operations, and achieve other environmental benefits. NRCS has directed almost $23.7 million in financial assistance for fiscal 2013 to help Minnesota producers implement conservation practices through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), the agency’s largest Farm Bill conservation program. Interested producers should visit their local NRCS service center for information on EQIP sign-up periods. “The Environmental Quality Incentives Program offers farmers, ranchers and forestland managers a variety of options to conserve natural resources while boosting production on their lands,” District Conservationist Keith Kloubec said. “This $23.7 million conservation investment helps improve environmental health and the economy of Minnesota’s rural communities.”
EQIP provides financial assistance for a variety of conservation activities, such as erosion control, reduced tillage, field buffers, rotational grazing systems and much more. Additionally, NRCS offers special initiatives through EQIP, including: – On-Farm Energy Initiative: helps producers conserve energy on their operations. – Seasonal High Tunnel Initiative: helps producers install high tunnels designed to extend the growing season into the cold months, increase productivity, keep plants at a steady temperature and conserve water and energy. – Organic Initiative: helps producers to install conservation practices on certified organic operations or those working toward organic certification. To participate in EQIP, an applicant must be an individual, entity or joint operation that meets EQIP eligibility criteria. Applicants can sign up at their local NRCS service center. For more information about EQIP or other technical or financial assistance programs offered by NRCS, contact your local service center.

Thirty Years Ago This Week
Mission Accomplished The movie “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial� was the nation’s hottest movie in 1982 but obviously cooled off some by February of 1983 in Belle Plaine as evident of this 8-foot-tall E.T. snow sculpture made by the Dick and Kay Halbmaier family. The idea to form a snow sculpture of E.T. was that of Dave Halbmaier, who was home from college for the weekend. The hardest part of the two-day project was the head, which kept falling off thanks to E.T. having such a skinny neck. A struggling economy, oversupply of gasoline and oil as well as disarray among the oil producing companies was causing a drop in gasoline and diesel fuel prices. The high point in gasoline prices came when the cost for regular was $1.36 per gallon. Unleaded was $1.40 and diesel hit $1.18. The price at the pumps in early February of 1983 at local stations fell to $1.08 for regular, $1.13 for unleaded and $1.07 for diesel.

Arrive at Crocus Hill Kitchen for a private Culinary Demonstration. This space is a wonderful place for sharing discoveries about food. In 1973, Martha Kaemmer and her sister Mary Rice thought that the time was ripe for a culinary awakening. They opened in a storefront on Grand Avenue in St. Paul. Mary left a year later to pursue a new culinary journey in Bayfield, Wi. Martha carried the company forward for more than 30 years. The chef has an entertaining personality and culinary talents. Watch, listen, learn and enjoy the menu your chef has created for this outing. You get an experience as uniquely delicious as it is memorable. When people start hanging out in the kitchen, relaxation, interaction and enjoyment comes naturally. After meal service, shop at the Crocus Hill Kitchen Store. The store features innovative culinary items and an assortment of instructional opportunities that help people with their culinary journey. Next door is Victoria Crossing, at the intersection of Grand Ave. and Victoria St., with a collection of small shops and specialty stores.

National School Counseling Week, sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), is this week and is celebrated to focus public attention on the unique contribution of professional school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. We have great counselors serving our students in each of our schools here in Belle Plaine and I want to thank them for the great work they do with all of our students. Congratulations to the Belle Plaine One Act Play program for advancing once again to the State One Act Play Festival this Friday at The OShaughnessy Auditorium located at St. Catherine University in St. Paul. Seven other teams have advanced to represent their respective Sections and they will all compete in the Festival on Friday. Belle Plaine’s performance will be at 4 p.m. and will be the last of four afternoon shows. Immediately following the Belle Plaine performance, awards will be presented for the Festival participants. The State Festival is not a tournament that crowns one winner for the event, but instead it is a Festival in which all performances are judged against a set list of criteria. Any performance that meets or exceeds the criteria listed will receive a starred rating indicating their level of performance. Belle Plaine has received “starred� performance ratings in their last five State Festival experiences. Good luck to our One Act Play cast and crew during your performance on Friday! Kudos also go out to our dance team as they recently completed a successful season. They captured the Minnesota River Conference championship in Jazz competition and finished second in the Conference in High Kick. Congratulations on a wonderful season girls! Last Tuesday, I traveled to the State Capitol to visit with area legislators about fair and equitable funding for all school students regardless of where that student lives. I want to thank district residents Larry Kiewel and Chris Kehr for joining me on the journey. Once at the Capitol, we joined up with some school board members and parents from the Northfield Schools to begin our visits. (Both Northfield and Belle Plaine are members of Schools for Equity in Education (SEE).) We had in person meetings with Representatives David Bly, Pat Garofalo, and Kelby Woodard as well as Senators Kevin Dahle and David Thompson during our four hour visit. A bill that would help us move closer to fair and equitable funding for all students was introduced this week by Senator Rod Skoe. This bill significantly increases equalization to bring down the cost of a levy for taxpayers in low property wealth districts. Having Senator Rod Skoe, the Chair of the Senate Tax Committee, carrying this bill elevates its importance. The companion bill in the House is expected in the next few weeks. SEE strongly support SF177. It goes far in leveling the playing field to give low property wealth districts the same opportunity to access referendum revenue for their students as high property Legal Notices wealth districts. To get increased equalization passed in this legislative session will require strong support from citizens in low property wealth districts. I appreciate the willingness of some of our district residents to join me at the Capitol to lobby on behalf of our school district. 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! PAGE TWELVE

had done everything asked of it since previous denials of its request, including greatly increasing the information in the application. Council Member Schneider said he agreed with Chard in that it appears the German Days Committee has done everything the council had asked of it. In regards to Coop’s concern about having 50 percent of the proceeds going toward town festivals, John Mahoney of the German Days Committee said the city has allowed the chamber of commerce “to fund its festival (Bar-B-Q Days) forever.” The German Days Committee and some members of the chamber of commerce, which for a long time has conducted charitable gambling operations at other various locations in the community, have been at odds over the past year, especially when it comes to the proposal to have half the proceeds from one charitable gambling operation being spent on festivals. After Coop’s denial motion failed, another motion was made to direct staff to prepare a resolution to “approve” the German Day Committee’s request for a charitable gambling permit at Andy’s Bar and Grill. Mayor Mike Pingalore and council members Chard, Schneider and Gary Trost voted yes. Coop cast the only no vote. Earlier in the discussion, Trost had said that he agreed with Coop that 50 percent of charitable gambling operations should not go toward festivals, but in the end voted in favor of the permit. In other business Monday night, the council unanimously

approved the proposed new sidewalk routes that will be included in the city’s application for a Safe Routes to School state grant, which is due Feb. 15. “There are several missing links and gaps in the city’s pedestrian system,” states the resolution. “There is not a continuous sidewalk system that allows students to walk or bike to school from neighborhoods on the north side of Highway 169 to Chatfield Elementary and the Belle Plaine Junior/Senior High School. The sidewalks connections identified in the city of Belle Plaine’s Safe Routes to School Grant Program will provide students with safe pedestrian routes to walk or bicycle to school.” The missing gaps and links in the sidewalks system to be included in the grant application are along County Road 6, as well as Cherry, Buffalo, Eagle, Elk, Grove, Prairie, Park, Linden and Raven streets. The maximum amount for the grant (if approved) would be $300,000. *Unanimously approved a resolution increasing the city employee cell phone reimbursement policy from $40 to $80 per month. *Unanimously authorized staff to advertise for seasonal employees for the 2013 community swimming pool season. *Unanimously approved large assembly and road closure permits for the community’s St. Patrick’s celebration on March 16. Due to the Presidents’ Day holiday, the next regular meeting of the Belle Plaine City Council is scheduled for 6 p.m.

CapX (continued from page 1) Plaine’s municipal water treatment plant along Union Trail (County Road 6). Construction work on the towers along Stoppelmann Boulevard south of the river is expecting to begin next week, weather permitting. Installation of the transmission lines in the area will begin later this month, said Randy Fordice, a CapX spokesman. The line will cross Highway 169 at Stoppelmann Boulevard and run east across Belle Plaine Township to the Helena Substation and. It will cross southern Scott County and run into Dakota County before reaching Hampton. The work began last spring in Renville County and moved eastward into Sibley County in 20 to 25 mile segments. Crews dug 40 to 60-foot deep footings to support the towers. The footings are supported by rebar and about 30 cubic yards of concrete. The transmission line corridor
Power Line Work Will Close Road
Work on the CapX transmission line will close the intersection of Union Trail (County Road 6) and Stoppelmann Boulevard today and tomorrow (Feb. 6-7). The intersection will be closed 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. – 600 to 1,000 feet wide – runs across Sibley County, north of Arlington, through Washington Lake and Faxon townships in eastern Sibley County and cross the Minnesota River into Blakeley Township and make its way through Blakeley and Belle Plaine townships. The towers will be spaced 800 to 1,000 feet apart. The river crossing here is part of the $730 million Brookings, S.D. to Hampton, Minn. project. The line will continue from Hampton across Wisconsin and on to Chicago.

Skaaland and Lein will bring their findings and a recommendation back to the council at its next meeting. That meeting is set for Feb. 19, 7 p.m. The meeting was rescheduled to Tuesday because of Presidents Day. The council pulled its offer to Meyer, no relation to Councilor Don Meyer, because his apparent level of interest in the job is seemingly under-whelming. Meyer has been difficult to contact during contract talks, not returning telephone calls for two or three days and preferring to communicate via email, Skaaland said. “There’s something that’s just off,” Lein said. Meyer reportedly asked for an array of additional items, requests the council councilors felt indicated a desire to increase the value of his contract, Skaaland said after the meeting. The last straw, she said and the council agreed, seemed to be accepting an offer contingent on his ability to sell a piece of undisclosed personal property. Skaaland said Meyer’s requests had very little to do with the job. Friday (Feb. 1), the committee sent Meyer the message that the city’s offer -$70,000 a year plus a vacation and benefit package – was final and if he wanted it, he should reply by Monday, 4:30 p.m. The council did not hear from Meyer or its consultant by the time its meeting started at 7 p.m. Councilors are also concerned about Meyer’s $70,000 salary expectation since a study of city administrator salaries in cities Cologne’s size the League of Minnesota Cities conducted indicated the average annual salary is closer to $60,000. The decision to rescind the offer to Meyer sets the hiring of a new city administrator back several weeks, possibly to early-April. Since it is saving on an administrator’s salary, the city might hire accounting help to prepare for the upcoming audit this spring.
METRO
Fishing Pier
Don Smith of the Benton Lake Watershed Conservancy (BLWC) asked the council for an update on the fishing pier the group and city are jointly working on placing at the end
of a peninsula on the east side of Benton Lake. The city recently received an OK to move the pier to the end of the peninsula once the ice melts. The move will impact land owned by St. Bernard’s Catholic Church. The Minnesota DNR, which helped fund the pier with a grant wants to make sure the pier will be used and that the city’s plans still include access that meets the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Lein told Smith and (BLWC) the new council would gather information for future discussion and make sure the project remains on track for the spring. The DNR and BLWC are also interested in removing non-native vegetation along the peninsula and replacing them with native trees or bushes. The BLWC is also interested in establishing canoe rental at the pier. The canoe would be stored under lock-and-key at the pier. The proposal would also include life jackets. The council agreed to discuss the proposal, discussions that would include the city’s legal council for review of potential city liability. In other action at the Feb. 4 meeting, the Cologne City Council: n Paid bills totaling $85,681.4. n Rescheduled the Feb. 18 (Presidents Day) meeting to Feb. 19, 7 p.m. n Approved Hans Hagen Homes’ request for final plat approval for Village at Cologne 14th addition. It includes 10 single-family house lots and outlots that will also include single-family houses and storm water drainage. n Approved a revised 2013 budget for the Cologne Fire Department. The budget of $173,726 is the same amount as previously approved, but line items within it were changed from the budget the council previously OK’d. The 2013 department budget reflects a 1.56 percent increase. n Tabled Gerald Tarman’s request for a solicitor’s license in the city. The council OK’d conducting a background check on him and will issue the permit pending the outcome of the check and payment of the fee.

H.S. Wrestling
Scott West Slices Sabers 42-24 The Scott West wrestling team started a big “Super Bowl” weekend of sports with a 42-24 win over Class 3A’s #6-rated Shakopee in Belle Plaine on Friday night. The Panthers came out strong as they won nine of the first 11 matches. After Shakopee’s Alex Lloyd opened the meet with a 10-3 decision over Ben Kelvington at 106 pounds, the Scott Wester’s responded with three wins of their own as David Flynn scored a first period pin of Mathew Sean at 113 pounds and Zach Siegle pinned Connor O’Fallon in the first period at 126 pounds. The two Panther pins were sandwiched around an 8-5 decision by Jacob Backlund as the junior bettered Saber junior Brad Born at 120 pounds. “It was important for us to get bonus points out of David and Zach and they delivered,” states Scott West coach Darren Ripley. “It was also important for us to get a win from Jacob and he delivered by wrestling very well, particularly in periods one and two.” Trailing 15-3 after the first four matches, Shakopee cut the margin to 15-9 when Tanner Hennen scored a third period pin of Tyler Ackmann at 132 pounds. Following the Ackmann loss, Scott West responded with six straight wins to open an insurmountable 429 team lead. Leading the way was Jake Weierke as he scored a 13-5 major decision over Saber Emmet Wagner at 138 pounds. The Weierke win was followed by senior Luke Zilverberg and he did everything but pin Jack Edberg during a 17-1 technical fall win. “Good win by Jake,” states Ripley. “He still needs to tighten some things up, and Z was out for the pin from the get-go, so you have to give his Shakopee opponent a lot of credit for fighting off his back multiple times.” Scott West’s Andrew Fogarty and Shakopee’s Patrick Casey have met multiple times on the wrestling mat with Fog-
arty winning a couple of close decisions last year and the #4 3A-rated Casey winning this year in the championship at the Eastview Invitational. The two highly-rated wrestlers would meet again Friday night at 152 pounds, most likely for the last time at least in high school, and it was Fogarty delivering the final blow in this personal rivalry as the Panther sophomore won a hard-fought 3-0 decision over the Saber senior. “Andrew wrestled a very solid match from start to finish,” comments Ripley. “Casey had gotten underneath his defense a couple of times at Eastview but he didn’t allow that to happen tonight.” The night of wrestling continued at 160 pounds with Jack Storlie getting his first big win as a Panther. After a 2-2 first period in which Storlie had used a nice double-leg attack to score the opening take down, he scored another take down to open the second period and in the process took Shakopee’s Kevin Brickey to his back for a pin fall call at 3:22 of the second period. “A great match by Jack Storlie,” says Ripley. “That was a big win for him and the team, and hopefully that will give him more confidence as we continue to move forward.” Derek Dahlke continued to move forward as he drove his bar arm down and forward and scored a first period pin of Shakopee’s Mike Wagner at 170 pounds. At 182 pounds it would be a best-of-three scenario as Panther Jake Schultz and Alex King took to the mats. They had met twice at the Eastview Invitational, with each winning one of the matches. Schultz had won the second one, and therefore, placed third in the tournament, and the Scott West junior won the decisive match between the pair as he earned a 7-1 decision by scoring a take down in each of the three periods. “Good wins by Derek and Jake,” states Ripley. “They are
both wrestling well right now and having good seasons for themselves and the team.” Scott West dropped the final three weights on the night as it forfeited to Saber Jesse Jimenez at 195 pounds; Chayden O’Fallon scored a 5-0 decision over Ray Carter at 220 pounds and Alex Denis closed out the night with second period pin of Daniel Kochlin at heavyweight. “It was a good dual meet win for us,” states Ripley. “Shakopee has a good program and a good team. It is important for us to build some momentum heading toward team sections.” While the Scott West varsity team had the weekend off this Saturday, four young Panthers competed in the Minnesota 9th Grade League State Tournament at Champlin Park. Jackson Stauffacher turned in a very solid performance as the seventh-grader placed third at 100 pounds. A second Scott West seventh-grader, Tyler Buesgens, placed seventh in his bracket at 120 pounds. The Scott West varsity will close out its regular season at Norwood Young America this Friday night. 2012-13 Scott West Dual Results and Remaining Schedule Dec. 6 at E.

Big Walleye Dave Brazil of Belle Plaine caught this 29-inch, 10 1/2-pound walleye while ice fishing on the Minnesota River between Belle Plaine and Jordan. He caught the fish around 7 a.m. Saturday. During the summer months, huge catfish, especially flatheads, are the preferred target of many Minnesota River anglers. During the fall and winter months, walleyes become far more common. The most recent data for the Minnesota River suggests that most people can eat an unlimited number of under-15-inch walleyes — the most prized game fish in the river — and one such walleye per week above that size.

“We played and competed well in the first half and the whole game for that matter,” Carlson said. “We did a lot of good things but it still comes down to who makes shots and we need to make more. When that happens, we will beat teams like this.” Otto had 14 points, followed by Hayden and Fogarty with 11 apiece. Murphy (7), Meyer (4), Koepp (2) and Read (2) were the other scorers for the Tigers.

Youth Turkey Hunt Applications First-time youth turkey hunters ages 12 to 17 have the chance to go afield this spring and learn from an experienced National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) volunteer. “Youth turkey hunters and their guardians will learn lifelong outdoor skills and how to be a responsible hunter,” said Mike Kurre, mentoring program coordinator for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). “The outdoor coaches of the NWTF are helping create the next generation of hunters.” Applications, maps and general information for the wild turkey hunt are available at www.mndnr.gov/youthturkey. The application deadline is midnight on Monday, Feb. 19. Participants will be selected through a random lottery. This is the 11th consecutive year the DNR and the NWTF have cooperated to mentor first-time youth turkey hunters. Nearly 2,000 youth have been introduced to this hunting experience since spring youth turkey hunts began in 2002. Most hunts will be Saturday, April 20 and Sunday, April
21, which is the first weekend of the regular wild turkey season. Nearly all youth will hunt on private land due to permission of private landowners and the NWTF volunteers who obtained the permission. To be eligible, a youth hunter must be age 12 to 17 on or before Saturday, April 20; have a valid firearms safety certificate; and be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The program is for first-time turkey hunters only. Any youth who has ever purchased or been selected by lottery for a Minnesota turkey license of any type is not eligible. Hunters and their mentors will be assigned a NWTF volunteer coach, who must accompany both the youth and parent/guardian throughout the entire hunt. Participation in the hunts is restricted by the number volunteers and private land available. If anyone is interested in providing quality turkey hunting land for the mentored youth hunts, contact a NWTF chapter online at http://www. nwtf.org/in_your_state/lists. php?STATE=MN.
Applications Being Accepted for Junior Duck Stamp Contest The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is now accepting entries for the 2013 Minnesota Junior Duck Stamp Contest, which is administered by the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Entries must be postmarked by March 15. The Federal Junior Duck Stamp Program is a dynamic educational program designed to spark youth interest in habitat conservation through science, art, math and technology. Students in kindergarten through high school are encouraged to interpret the natural world through artistic expression. By providing a basis for participation in the Junior Duck Stamp Design Contest, the activities encourage students to move beyond simply “learning about” wildlife and wildlife art to testing their abilities as wildlife artists. Students may submit artwork featuring one of the following the types of waterfowl: whistling ducks, swans, geese, brant, dabbling ducks, diving ducks, sea ducks, mergansers, stiff tails or Hawaiian ducks. A full list of permitted species is available online at http://www. fws.gov/juniorduck. Judging will be open to the general public and will begin at 9 a.m. on March 19 at Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Bloomington Education and Visitor Center. Artwork entries will be judged on the basis of original design, anatomical accuracy, artistic composition
and suitability for reproduction on a 1 by 1.5 stamp. During the contest, youth will be judged in four groups according to grade level: K-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12. Three first, three second, and three third place entries, along with 16 honorable mentions will be selected from each group. Contest judges select a “Best of Show” from the 12 first place-winners, which will be submitted to the Federal Duck Stamp Office and entered into the National Junior Duck Stamp Contest. The first place art from the national contest is used to create a National Junior Duck Stamp each year. The Junior Duck Stamp is available for $5 from the U.S. Postal Service and from many National Wildlife Refuges. All proceeds from the sale of the stamps support conservation education and provide awards and scholarships for participating students, teachers and schools. A downloadable entry form and information on contest rules and regulations for educators and supervising adults can be found online. For additional information, contact your Jr. Duck Stamp State Coordinator, Mara Koenig at 952-858-0710, or mara_koenig@fws.gov. Entries and reference forms must be postmarked by March 15 and mailed to: c/o Junior Duck Stamp Coordinator, Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, 3815 American Blvd. East, Bloomington, MN 55425.

H.S. Boys’ Basketball
Cold-Shooting Tigers Drop 2 by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School boys’ basketball team’s fivegame winning streak was shattered when it took a 21-point beating (74-53) on the road at Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial last Tuesday night. The week didn’t end much better as the Tigers dropped a Minnesota River Conference game at home against WatertownMayer 51-48 Thursday at the BPHS gym. The Tigers, 5-3 in the Minnesota River Conference, 10-8 overall, were scheduled to host Sibley East in a MRC game Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press.
They will be at Mayer Lutheran for a 7:30 p.m. start this Friday. LCWM 74, Tigers 53 The Tigers led 34-32 at halftime only to get outscored 4219 in the second half. “This game was about two halves. The first half we shot 45 percent and committed only three turnovers. In the second half, we shot 28 percent and committed seven turnovers,” said Belle Plaine coach John Wellner. “But beyond our shooting, we didn’t play that great of defense. As good as we played against B.A. on Monday night, we played as poorly. We gave up too many dribble drives to the basket and they converted
by making wide open lay ups or three-points shots. We need to do a better job of containing the ball handler.” The Tigers were led by Gavin Dauwalter, who had 11 points and 13 rebounds, both team highs. The other scorers for Belle Plaine were Luke Narveson (10), Aaron Bigaouette (8), Sam Karl (7), Jack Winders (6), Alec Koepp (6), Luke Bristlin (3) and Jacob Meger (2). Koepp followed Dauwalter in rebounding with 11. Watertown-M 51, Tigers 48 The Tigers had a chance in the final seconds to launch the game into overtime but a threepoint shot that bounced upward from the rim came back down and got stuck between the rim and the backboard, enabling the Royals to hold on for the 51-48 win. “We were hurt by our shooting again (16 percent in the first half), Wellner said. “They (WM) did a great job with their two-three zone. They really cut down passing angles for us and made the ball stick in our hands. We tried to increase the tempo in the second half and I think that played to our advantage. We were able to get some easier shots and some of them started to fall. Our defense was good, much better than Tuesday night. W-M made some critical open shots that kept them in the lead in the second half. “Luke Narveson did a great job attacking the zone and making some key basketball plays down the stretch,” Wellner continued. “We are in a bit of shooting slump right now, but this team is very hard working and I am confident that we will break out of it.” Narveson had 16 points for Belle Plaine, while Winders, Bigaouette, Koepp and Dauwalter all had six.

Belle Plaine Splits MRC Pair by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team split two Minnesota River Conference games last week, winning at home against Sibley East 59-56 on Tuesday and losing at Mayer Lutheran 62-51 on Friday. The split left the Tigers 5-6 in the MRC, 8-13 overall. The Tigers’ next two games will be difficult ones. Jordan and Norwood Young America, which are tied for first place in the MRC with 10-1 records, will visit Belle Plaine this Thursday and next Tuesday, respectively. The scheduled start time for both games is 7:30 p.m. Tigers 59, Sibley East 56 The Tigers led 27-25 at halftime and then began the second half with a 14-2 spurt to build a 41-27 cushion. The Wolverines then began to gnaw away at the margin and closed to within 57-56 with 14.4 seconds left to play. The Tigers’ Claire Otto was fouled and she sank both free throws to make the margin three points. Sibley East was unable to score on its final possession and Belle Plaine escaped with the win. “We definitely made it difficult on ourselves late but it was good to finish a close game with a win,” said Tigers coach Randy Carlson. “Claire Otto had a good overall game for us and Haley Fogarty did some good things at the point guard position. She seemed to be a little more aware of openings in the Sibley East defense and we converted. Amara Meyer played hard and battled. Jamie Read had a strong overall game. Keep improving – that’s
what we need to do.” Fogarty finished up with 19 points, six rebounds, four assists and the three steals. Otto delivered 16 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals. Mariena Hayden had 11 points and a team-high eight rebounds as well as three steals. Ellie Murphy had five points and seven rebounds. Read and Meyer both had three points and Kalli Koepp two. Mayer Luth. 62, Tigers 51 Belle Plaine’s record against

The Tigers led 20-19 at halftime but the Crusaders started strong in the second half to go up 31-22. Belle Plaine eventually got the deficit down to four points at times later in the half but couldn’t get over the hump.

Hoping to improve its programs by returning to classrooms around the area, the Scott County Historical Society wants the county board to reinstate funding lost to budget cuts. Kathleen Klehr, the society’s executive director and members of the group’s board of directors, met last Tuesday (Jan. 29) with county commissioners in an off-camera workshop to update the county board on the society’s work during the past year and request reinstating $10,000 in funding the county cut from the historical society’s allocation a few years back. Although more talks on the society’s request are planned, Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township, the board’s vice chairperson, predicts the county will eventually reinstate the funding. First, Wagner said, the society needs to address the public perception that it is not just “the Shakopee historical society” and represents the history of all Scott County. “I hear it all the time. There’s definitely some work to be done,” Wagner said after the workshop.
Klehr said reinstating $10,000 is a part of addressing that perception. The county trimmed its allocation to the society from $117,000 to $107,000 in 2009, Klehr said. Several years earlier, the county cut the society’s funding from $124,000 to $117,000 after state reduced funding to the county. County funding is a huge chunk of the society’s budget. It was $160,990 last year. The reduced funding prompted the historical society not to fill an open educator position. After conducting a self-analysis, the society board recognizes it has “lost connection with the schools” in Scott County, Klehr said. After hiring the part-time educator last month to work with students and adults alike, the society needs the funding to get the reignite the educational efforts, she said. The society is also using social media to attract a younger audience not yet been exposed to the society and its presentations. It has started a Facebook page carrying listings of programs the society is hosting.
Precedence
Wagner said another big hurdle to increasing funding to the historical society is precedence. With state aid to the county cut during much of the last halfdecade, the board cut funding
to a variety of groups, all of which he said, “would love to tell us they’re important they are and that they need funding restored,” Wagner said. Near the top of that list are the Scott County Fair and the Belle Plaine-based Southern Valley Alliance for Battered Women, Wagner said. Before the budget reductions the past few years, the county fair and historical society were receiving $117,000 per year in county aid, funding the county. Southern Valley Alliance was receiving $15,000, which was eliminated. The board eliminated five commissioner grants of $10,000 apiece a few years back.
Wolf Wants More County History, Less Maurice Stans
Commissioner Tom Wolf of Credit River Township raised concerns that increasing funding is tough to support when, in his opinion, too much of the museum is dedicated to the personal and professional life of Maurice Stans, a Shakopee native whose boyhood house is next to the museum and is owned by the historical society. He was born in 1908 and died in 1990. After serving in the Eisenhower administration, Stans
served as President Richard Nixon’s deputy director of the Bureau of the Budget (as OMB was known before 1970) 1957– 1958, and director of the Bureau of the Budget 1958–1961. He joined the Nixon administration as secretary of commerce, 1969–1972. In 1961, Stans was one of the founders of the African Wildlife Foundation. In mid-February 1972, he led the finance committee of the Nixon’s Committee for the Re-Election of the President (CRP), Nixon’s re-election campaign. Money Stans raised for the campaign was believed to be used to finance some of the illegal Watergate activities that led to Nixon’s resignation from the presidency. Stans was indicted in 1973 for perjury and obstruction of justice, but was acquitted the following year. Stans always maintained he had no knowledge of the various Watergate crimes. Wolf said the museum has too much space dedicated to Stans. The Stans Foundation, a group of his children, bought the land on Fuller Street in Shakopee where the museum sits. It paid for the construction and then donated it to the historical so-
