Belle Plaine Wins Subsection One-Act Play Title Will Compete for Section Crown Saturday at Le Sueur Belle Plaine High School is one act away from qualifying for the Minnesota State High School League One-Act Play Festival for the 10th time in the last 20 years after winning the subsection championship Saturday at Jordan High School.

Belle Plaine will attempt to punch its 2013 ticket to St. Paul when it competes in this

Saturday’s Section 2A competition at Le Sueur-Henderson High School. Performances are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.

No school-by-school performance start time was available prior to Tuesday’s press time.

Glencoe-Silver Lake placed second at Saturday’s subsection contest and will join Belle Plaine in Le Sueur on Saturday.

Former Belle Plaine Woman to Get $3.5 Million to Leave Her Job A Belle Plaine High School graduate is among four toplevel executives leaving Minnesota-based Super Valu who will share some $23 million in “golden parachutes,” according to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal.

A golden parachute is defined as an agreement between a company and an employee (usually upper executive) specifying that the employee will receive certain significant benefits if employment is terminated. Most definitions specify the employment termination is as a result of a merger or takeover, also known as “change-in-control benefits.”

Sherry (Stier) Smith, a 1979 graduate of BPHS, the company’s CFO, will receive $3.51 million upon leaving her job.

Wayne Sales (CEO) will get $8.1 million, while other company executives – Janel Haugarth and J. Andrew Herring, will receive $3.65 million and $2.82 million, respectively.

News of the payouts came about two weeks after Super Valu announced that it had sold five of its grocery chains (877 stores) in a $3.3 billion deal.

According to Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal, the buyer is Cerberus Capital Management, which bought the stores for $100 million and acquired almost $3.2 billion in debt.

Other schools competing will be St. Peter, Le Sueur, Maple River, Mankato Loyola, Maple Lake and Annandale. Only the top-judged play will advance to the state Class 1A festival, which will take place Feb. 8 at O’Shaughnessy Auditorium on the campus of St. Catherine University.

Last year marked the fifth time in the last six years that Belle Plaine has won the section championship and starred at state (the highest honor achievable). The other four most recent were in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011. Belle Plaine also won section championships and received starred performance ratings at state in 1993, 1997, 1999 and 2000.

This year’s production is B.

(continued on page 4)

by Dan Ruud With very little chitchat, the Belle Plaine City Council breezed through its agenda in 32 minutes last Tuesday night, and in the process unanimously accepted the final plans and ordered the advertisement of bids for the city’s 2013 street and utility improvement project.

This year’s project includes street reconstruction and utility improvements at: – West Main Street between Willow Street and Buffalo Street.

– Eagle Street between Park Street and Main Street.

– 100 block of North Buffalo Street.

During the public hearing that

was held in September, City Engineer Joe Duncan reported that the total estimated cost of the project is $1,963,850, of which $1,416,416 (approximately 70 percent) would be paid for by the city. The rest would be assessed to benefitting property owners. Duncan added that streets in much of the project area will be narrowed by several feet, which will significantly increase the size of a number of lawns and right-of-way in the project area.

The advertisement of bids began Jan. 28 and the bid opening is scheduled for Feb. 21. The project is expected to begin this spring with substantial completion in late August. Substantial completion in this case means

that all streets in the project area will be ready for use. Other minor, punch-list type work will be completed the following spring.

In other business last Tuesday night, the council unanimously authorized the purchase of a 2013 Chevy Silverado halfton pickup for the Belle Plaine Fire Department.

Fire Chief Todd Otto reported that the department uses a 1984 chevy pickup as the chief’s vehicle, which was scheduled for replacement on this year’s capital improvement plan and the old vehicle will be sold at

Board OKs Security Upgrades at B.P. Schools Steinhagen ‘Disgusted’ Upgrades Necessary Six weeks after a lone gunman killed 20 children and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., the Belle Plaine School Board took steps to try to keep students safer in its schools.

Monday evening, the board unanimously approved a series of security upgrades to Chatfield and Oak Crest elementary schools and Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School. The

upgrades should control who enters schools and the points of access.

The upgrades include an improved video security system in the junior-senior high school, one that’s accessible via the Internet. It allows police to see who is in the building and where the person is from their patrol cars or other remote locations.

Lt. Col. David Grossman (U.S. Army, retired) recommended the upgrades after speaking to local and regional police in Belle Plaine and local and area teachers in Jordan. An expert on school violence and security, Grossman assessed the security shortcomings during a tour of Belle Plaine school

facilities during his visit earlier this month.

The board approved the installation of electronic locks on the front exterior doors at the three school buildings. The other exterior doors in each building will remain locked throughout the school day, requiring visitors to enter buildings through the front door.

Using cameras aimed at the front door of each building and an audio system, visitors will have to call into the front office to request access to the building, said Superintendent Kelly Smith. A staff person will scan

Super Valu reported that it will hold on to its Cub Foods and other smaller chains.

Smith was named CFO for Super Valu in late 2010. She had held the position on an interim basis since Pamela Knous stepped down from the job in July of 2010.

Smith, the daughter of Mary and the late Donald Stier of Belle Plaine, joined Super Valu in 1987. She held a variety of positions in the corporate accounting and financial reporting areas of the company, including vice president, corporate controller and treasurer.

Prior to serving as the interim CFO, Smith was the company’s senior vice president of finance for eight years.

Pat and Bonnie Skelley to Lead St. Patrick’s Parade The Belle Plaine St. Patrick’s Committee has selected Pat and Bonnie Skelley to lead this year’s St. Patrick’s Parade.

The committee will hold its next planning meeting for the 2013 celebration this Thursday at Johan’s downtown. All committee members and bar/restaurant owners are asked to attend.

It begins at 5:30 p.m.

This year’s celebration will take place on Saturday, March 16.

of the bell curve for the baby boomer generation regarding long-term care. Demand will expand signiďŹ cantly when that generation moves into the very high-cost age range of 80-plus.

Amidst government rate cuts and increasing complexities due to health care reform, Klatt addressed how TLHA is building windows of opportunity and is poised to adapt to these changes rather than maintain a status quo.

Klatt also touched on the challenges of being a Christian organization but emphasized the increasing relevancy of TLHA’s mission to care for the spiritual, physical, mental and emotional needs of those entrusted to our care. He concluded by thanking the group for their prayers, volunteer efforts and ďŹ nancial support.

TLHA’s annual “Care of the Soul Leadership Award� recipient, Jon Scharlemann of Redwood Falls, was honored.

This award recognizes men and women who faithfully serve the Lord and provide leadership in the area of special ministries.

Another highlight of the meeting was the recognition of longtime TLHA team members. All of this year’s honorees work at The Lutheran Home Campus in Belle Plaine.

Mary Mathwig of Belle Plaine was honored for 35 years of service. During her time with TLHA, she has gladly served in the same position as a cook. As Mathwig shared, “I enjoy working for the residents and staff of The Lutheran Home. We serve good quality food so a person can be proud to work here.�

Kim Stier of Belle Plaine was honored for 30 years of service. She also has enjoyed the same role during her tenure as a nursing assistant. Stier shared, “I enjoy working with my coworkers as well as the numerous residents who I’ve had the privilege of serving over the years. When I see the residents smile, I know that I’m making a positive impact in their lives.

I also enjoy seeing and hearing the gratitude from the residents’ family members.�

Phyllis Deutsch of New Prague, Jodie Johnson of Arlington and Carol Schultz of Belle Plaine were all honored for 25 years of service.

Deutsch has also served in the same role, a direct support professional at Hope Residence. When asked what is the most rewarding part of the job, Deutsch replied, “To do unto others as you would have them do unto you; the residents deserve the best of care and it’s nice to feel needed.�

Johnson has spent 25 years

at The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine. For the ďŹ rst 18 years, she was a licensed practical nurse (LPN). In 2005, she was promoted to clinical coordinator. Johnson shares, “I love the elderly and even though I could work in another nursing home, I truly believe in the Lutheran Home. All staff care deeply about the residents and we all go above and beyond to provide a wonderful home for them.

We are all like family here and care about one another. I truly believe in our mission, thus the reason I am celebrating 25 years of employment here.�

Schultz has served in three different roles during her tenure.

She was a laundry aide for 10 years at The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine. Schultz then spent 12 years as a direct support professional at Hope Residence and then transferred to Kingsway Retirement Living three years ago to work as a home health aide. When asked why she has stayed with TLHA, she shared, “This is a great place to meet people and make friends.

Every job is important; whatever you do, it needs to be done well. I am most happy when I can help others. The residents are so grateful; and appreciate all we do, so it is rewarding to see them happy and content.�

The dedication of these team members, and many more, is one of the reasons this 114year-old ministry continues to grow. Our not-for-proďŹ t Christian ministry serves persons with developmental and other disabilities, Alzheimer’s and dementia, those needing specialized care and provides independent living options for active seniors.

Former School Supt. Dr. John Bartholow Dies Dr. John Bartholow, longtime Belle Plaine Schools superintendent from the 1960s to 1980s, died in Gaithersburg, Md., this week.

Bartholow lived in Florida for many of his retirement years before moving to Gaithersburg.

No other details involving Bartholow’s death were available prior to Tuesday’s press time. His obituary will be published in next Wednesday’s Herald. If it becomes available before then, it can also be found at www.belleplaineherald.com or the Herald’s Facebook page.

Unless the weather is so cold the event’s organizers call it off, several hundred people will jump into an ice-covered pond as a fund-raiser to help disabled people participate in activities they love.

And in almost every case, they can’t wait to take the plunge.

Saturday’s Special Olympics Polar Plunge returns to St. Peter’s Hallet’s Pond just off Highway 169 on the east side of the city. Again this year, a team of Polar Plungers from The Lutheran Home in Belle Plaine and four Belle Plaine

their friends and family, make up Walkin’ on Water Wizardz.

Law enforcement ofďŹ cers are among the primary sponsors for the Polar Plunge events around the state.

The Wizardz are a Special Olympics team of Belle Plaine and Jordan residents. Some of the Wizardz are residents at The Lutheran Home’s Hope Residence. Lutheran Home staff jumps for team members who would like to jump, but can’t.

The 39-member team will jump in groups starting shortly after

1 p.m. Of the 19 members from The Lutheran Home staff, 14 are ďŹ rst-timers.

Each Polar Plunge participant must raise at least $75 in pledges to jump. The Walkin’ on Water Wizardz hope to raise at least $4,100. So far, approximately 500 plungers who’ll jump into Hallet’s Pond have raised about $31,000 in pledges.

Plenty more is expected to come in this week. Special Olympics Minnesota hopes to

Jackie was born in Winona on March 23, 1948 to Harry and Betty (Ptacek) Zimmerman.

She grew up in Henderson and graduated from Henderson High School.

She married Leo Anderly on July 9, 1966 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Henderson.

They lived in Jessenland Township all their married life. Jackie worked at Golden Touch Jewelry in Belle Plaine and worked at the Belle Plaine Commission Company.

She was a generous woman and enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.

Birth Announcement

He was welcomed home by big sister Leah, 3. Grandparents are Ken and Wendy Theis of Carver, Caren Grotberg of Belle Plaine and Marty Grotberg of Maple Grove. Great-grandparents are Wesley and LaVonne Koepp of Belle Plaine, Ron Sr. and Jeanette Gerres of Belle Plaine, Virgil and Shirley Youngblom of Belle Plaine and the late Ed and Helen Grotberg of Spring Lake Park.

William L. Ische, Jr. William Louis Ische, Jr., 90, of Cologne, passed away January 27, 2013 at Ridgeview Medical Center in Waconia.

Funeral Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, January 31 at Zion Lutheran Church, Benton Township, rural Cologne with Rev. Eric Zacharias officiating.

Interment will be in the Zion Cemetery. Visitation is from 48 p.m. Wednesday, January 30, at the Johnson Funeral Home, Waconia, and one hour prior to the service. Chapel Service is Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

Bill was born on February 10, 1922 in Hancock Township, rural Norwood, the youngest of the four sons of William and Lydia (Bartels) Ische. He was baptized on March 5, 1922, and confirmed in his faith on April 5, 1936 at Zion Lutheran Church, both by Rev. Hermann AmEnd. He remained a lifelong member of Zion.

In his teens and early twenties, Bill left formal education to travel the U.S. via rails, hitchhiking and driving.He took a variety of jobs from being a dairy farmhand in Elmira, NY to office work at the Hanford site in Washington state. He studied at Dunwoody Institute and St. Paul Vocational. In 1947 he went into business operating Williams Manufacturing Company with his father out of the old Larson Creamery building in Gotha, just south of Cologne.

He was a skilled craftsman in metal, designing and fabricating custom work and performing repairs for farmers, homeowners and businesses. A good day at “the shop” was a parking lot full of pickups, cars, and maybe a tractor. Each job was a welcome challenge, and each customer a chance to connect. In warm weather, Bill installed rain gutters on the roofs of homes, barns, commercial buildings and churches, defying gravity on a daily basis.

Bill was united in marriage to Rhoda Lenzen on June 18, 1947 at Zion Cologne in a newsworthy triple wedding with two of Rhoda’s sisters and their grooms. The couple made their home in Gotha, and they were blessed with a family of five.

In 2005, they moved to Cologne where Bill enjoyed their “in town” garden. He still maintained a selection of tools and equipment that enabled him to fix or install almost anything around the house. A favorite pastime was taking a drive in the country with family, where he would often point out the places he had put on a metal roof or rain gutters monuments to his life’s labor.

Bill is survived by his wife of 65 years, Rhoda; children, Kenneth Ische of Eagan, Gloria (Kerry) Kruppstadt of Minnetonka, Jane Ische of Spring Park, Kathleen Bartels of Savage, and Rhonda (Mark) Pirkl of Golden Valley; 11 grandchildren, Susan Ische, Erin (Michael) Benson, William P. Ische, Karl Kruppstadt and fiancée Lindsey LaTendresse, Diana Kruppstadt, Joel HillIsche, Joseph Zelko, Gregory Mackenstadt, Nicholas Mackenstadt, Emily Pirkl and August Pirkl; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Delores Ische of Norwood, Muriel Ische of Norwood, Irene Hilk of Waconia, Florence Lindquist of Waconia, Wendell and

Speaker to Talk About His Experiences With Bi-polar Feigal is the current president of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) – Hennepin County. He is perhaps best known for his work in 2002 in which he wrote, directed and co-starred in a series of mental health public service announcements for the national antistigma organization Peace of Mind that featured actor Martin Sheen. Since then, he has spoken nationally more than 1,600 times at high schools, colleges, prisons, corporations, churches and service provider agencies around the nation. He has also worked with Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, organizing workshops on mental illness for police, dispatchers, emergency medical technicians, firefighters and jail staff around the country.

For more information, contact Barb Wachman at 952-4423079.

Heartbreak, humor and Harley Davidsons all figure into Pete Feigal’s account of his personal experiences with bi-polar disorder since he was first diagnosed with the mental illness at age 12 and his ongoing road to recovery.

The national inspirational speaker will present “How Harley Davidson Saved Me from the Asylum” at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 4 at the Chaska Community Center, 1661 Park Ridge Drive in Chaska.

The Adult Mental Health Community Support Programs in Scott and Carver counties and the Scott-Carver Adult Mental Health Initiative is sponsoring this mental health awareness event, which is free and open to the public. It will include samples of Feigal’s artwork and information on local resources.

One-Act

– Wonderful use of stage areas.

– Very strong.

– The play stayed together very well with so much going on.

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).

Tony Hartmann, and Peter Jacobson are again co-directors.

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.

(continued from page 1)

Dwyane Craft’s dark comedy “Ridiculosis by Proxy.” It’s 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.

Judges’ Remarks Below are some of the judges comments after viewing Belle Plaine’s performance on Saturday: – Strong ensemble work with consistent application of the vocal and physical style.

– Production elements propel the allegory with energy and a clear sense of commitment.

– I guess the disease is that we’ve become a black and white society – politically and in many other ways.

– Very impressive team!

– Overall, it was a pleasure to watch.

The Scott County Library System will be offering classes in Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, and Excel software use. The classes will be held in the Scott County Government Center’s Professional Development Center is Shakopee. Class sizes are limited and you need to preregister. If you are interested in taking part in these classes, stop in at your library and get the exact details. You can also call us and we can e-mail a PDF file with the information.

In conjunction with Winter Jackets, the Scott County Libraries will be having several author presentations during the month.

On Thursday, February 7, at 6:30 p.m. at the Shakopee Library, 235 Lewis Street South, 952-233-9590, Mark Forgy is the author of The Forger’s Apprentice: Life with the World’s Most Notorious Artist. He offers a personal account of his time spent as an apprentice to the 20th century’s greatest art forger, Elmyr de Hory.

Wednesday, February 27 at 6:30 p.m. at the Elko New Market Library, 110 J. Roberts Way: 952-495-8030. Peter Geye, the author of The Lighthouse Road, presents a new novel set on the North Shore of Lake Superior.

All the programs are funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (Legacy Fund). The events are free and books will be available for purchase and signing.

During my weekend reading, I was following a series of internet links that talked about the trends in e-readers. One of the last links was exploring the effect of tablet PCs and smartphones on dedicated e-readers (ebooks, Nooks, Kindles...).

One of the findings was that the more dedicated e-readers (less versatile but also less confusing) are favored by the older generations and the smart-phones and tablet PCs are generally favored by younger readers. This led to an article with a rather odd and surprising conclusion. The drop in the proportion of dedicated e-readers is affected very little by the sales of numbers of tablet PCs and smart-phones. It is driven more by a simple fact that embraces the reason we all eventually stop reading. See the article at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/01/25/e_reader_ market/ on the internet.

February is soon to be here and as promised, we are starting up Story-Time again. Friday, February 1 at 10:30 is Story-Time with a “Night Time” wear your PJ’s theme.

Library Hours: Sunday & Monday: Closed Tuesday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Saturday: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

We have finally gotten a respite from the Fiscal Cliff in the news, but it has been replaced with an uproar over gun control.

Recent events, especially the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, have helped create an uproar for more gun control.

Unfortunately what we need is an informed debate rather than uproar. The question is, with a nation so divided, how we get to informed debate.

I am neither a gun owner, nor a hunter, but I am not opposed to either. Certainly living in Carver County I see the popularity and the value of hunting. I also have used guns and realize that shooting can be a lot of fun.

At the same time, like most of us, I understand guns in the wrong hands can lead to very negative consequences.

Personally I think we need more gun control with these simple goals: Preventing access to guns for some people, those prone to violence, or dangerous due to mental illness.

Limiting access to some types of weapons.

Requiring gun owners to take reasonable steps to prevent their guns from falling into the wrong hands, whether they are children, criminals or those suffering from a mental illness that would make them dangerous.

I could sit and write out details of a gun control law, but what we really need is to get the opposing sides to sit and find common ground.

I think we can all agree that the shooter at Sandy Hook Elementary should not have had access to any guns, especially an assault rifle with a high-capacity magazine. Most of us would agree

Jim Weygand Commentary

that the gunman at Accent Signage Systems should not have had concealed weapons. We can all agree that the 4-year-old boy who shot his 2-year-old brother should not have been able to find a gun, much less a loaded gun, in his home. We can all agree that the general public should not have access to automatic weapons.

In the same way we can agree that there are a number of legitimate activities that use guns such as hunting, target shooting, or for personal protection that would justify gun ownership. Lets work from our agreements.

One of the sad things about this debate over guns is efforts to by some to prevent the facts and data on guns and gun violence from the public. They would prefer that Americans remained unaware of the impact of guns on our lives. How many are aware of the number of deaths due to guns each year?

In 2007 41,059 people died in auto accidents in the U.S. In that same year there were 31,224 firearm-related deaths. Now you might say that is only threefourths of the auto fatalities, but think how often in a day are you in contact with a car and how often with a gun. Of these 31,000 gun deaths 17,352 were suicides and 12,632 homicides, which includes intentional and unintentional deaths. Of our 41,000-plus auto fatalities 32 percent, or about

13,000, were alcohol-related.

It is interesting how close the number of homicide deaths due to guns is to alcohol-related auto accidents fatalities. There are similarities between the two. It is possible to drink without killing someone as long you avoid driving. The same is true of guns.

If they are used properly there should be no deaths.

The difference between the two is that we have begun working very hard in this country to reduce alcohol-related traffic deaths. We have dropped the legal blood alcohol level for drivers, increased the drinking age and increased enforcement. We have not eliminated these traffic deaths, but in 1982, 48 percent of the traffic deaths were related to alcohol and in 2007, 32 percent.

It should be clear that the efforts with regard to alcohol-impaired drivers has made progress, but it has been slow and gradual, and still has a long way to go. Unfortunately we have not made the same effort with regard to guns.

If and when, we begin efforts to reduce gun deaths progress will likely be slow and gradual, but they will eventually reduce carnage without banning guns.

As I said I am a supporter of stronger gun control; however, I do not believe that a significant strengthening of gun control laws will have an immediate impact on the level of violence, or the incidence of tragedies like Sandy Hook.

I know those on the side of stronger control would say that I am wrong, but we must understand that there are so many guns out there today. At the same time if we do nothing the situation will never get better, and is likely to get worse.

It is rare that I agree with the NRA, but gun control is only part of the cure. There are many things we have to address in our society.

Thirty Years Ago This Week

A Clean Contest A tug-of-war was part of Belle Plaine High School’s 1983 Snowfest Week activities. There was plenty of snow that year to keep the participants clean, unlike some of the other muddier years.

The Belle Plaine Cable Commission voted that Monday night to continue efforts to get a cable franchise, and also not to become part of a joint powers agreement with other area cities. It was the decision of the local commission that Belle Plaine would like to move ahead more quickly than the other communities were prepared to do. Turnout at that Monday’s public forum regarding Belle Plaine getting a cable franchise was very light, with most Belle Plaine residents choosing not to voice their opinions either through the surveys sent out or to the cable commission at the meeting. Those present were mainly representatives and attorneys from cable groups. The most wanted cable service, according to the survey, was entertainment, especially first-run movies, with sports coming in second.

Oliver Rucks was appointed

by VFW Commander in Chief James Currieo to serve as National Aide-de-Camp. Rucks was chosen for the post because of his past efforts in the VFW, including safety chairman of the Second District and All-State Commander in 1980.

In his duties as aide-de-camp, Rucks would strive to increase membership in the VFW for the Second District. Rucks was a member of Post 6202 here in Belle Plaine.

The Belle Plaine Fire Department would hold its 88th annual dance that coming Saturday evening at the Park Ballroom in New Prague. Music would be furnished by the Revival Band.

Work on the Belle Plaine bridge repair job was going full speed ahead that week as the labor dispute was apparently settled.

Mrs. Catherine Schumann, nee Kartes, passed away quietly at her home in Belle Plaine. She was 77 years old.

At the Jessenland parish cemetery the remains of Miss Hannan E. Mangan were interred.

She died at her home in St. Paul.

Albert Trost, in charge of government hay shipments from Belle Plaine and Blakeley townships, reported a total of 60 carloads shipped – 50 from the Belle Plaine station and 10 from the Blakeley station. Most of the surplus hay was consigned to Texas with some of it going to Arkansas and Oklahoma.

The sad news reached Union Hill of the death at University Hospital of Rita Kregelmeier after an illness of over a month.

She was 22 years old.

That week marked 50 years of rural mail service in the locality. On Feb. 2, 1903, the service was instituted from the Belle Plaine Post Office. The rural service started with five mail routes and five carriers out from Belle Plaine. The original carriers were Emil B. Engfer, Thos.

O’Connor, John J. McDevitt, Wm. Rendle and John Crahan.

Scott and Carver counties each received that week a state auditor’s warrant drawn on the state treasury for $44,100 in payment of the second half of the county’s 1952 regular allotment of state aid funds for county road purposes.

Scott County was still without a county assessor. At the January meeting, the board named William Simpkins of Prior Lake to succeed Lester Wolfram.

State Tax Commissioner G. Howard Spaeth would not approved the choice of the county board. Simpkins talked of a court action to compel Spaeth to approve his appointment.

Kevin O’Brien, who won the welterweight title at the Shakopee regional, lost his first fight at the State Golden Glove Tournament by a decision.

Belle Plaine regained its winning touch and defeated the Arlington Indians 58-57. Peter Johnson and Tom Melchior tied for scoring honors with 18 points each.

Belle Plaine’s independent cage team moved into a tie for first place in the River League standings by virtue of their smashing 60-45 victory over Lakeville.

The Dvoraks had opened such a school in the northern suburbs and Lee would be running the south branch from the office at 117 Meridian Street, in the building that formerly housed the Tiger Claw.

The ground hog didn’t see his shadow but Belle Plaine residents were subject to another blast of winter as 5 inches of snow fell on the area with an additional 3 inches predicted before it ended. The storm moved in after January proved to be mild with above normal temperatures for most of the month.

The Belle Plaine High School basketball team dropped two games that week, losing a conference game to Mankato Loyola 62-48 and a nonconference game to Faribault BA 42-32. Brent Meyer was Belle Plaine’s top scorer against Loyola with 12 points and Dave Harms was high man against Faribault BA with 11. Despite the two defeats, the Tigers remained tied for first place in the conference standings with Montgomery, both at 7-2.

60 Years Ago (1953)

Carl Baumetz, 55, a former resident of Belle Plaine, was in the Hutchinson hospital with a bullet through his windpipe, one of the victims of a triple killing on a Hutchinson farm.

Baumetz just happened to be around when a crazed Hutchinson farmer went berserk, killing his mother, brother and a neighboring school boy, and shot at Baumetz three times. He was in serious condition.

After almost a month without sunshine, the brightest of sunny days came with Groundhog Day. Winter was to be with us for a long time.

the Belle Plaine Motor Co. arranged to move to the Widmer property known as the Golden Rule building, and McRaith and Vancore took over lease of the Newell building.

The youngest child, aged 2, of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Donlon, died at the family home in Faxon. Burial was in Jessenland Cemetery.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rau were moving from the farm in Blakeley Township to make their future home in Henderson.

Faxon Township was advertising the sale of a bond issue of $6,000 with interest of 5 1/2 percent.

The Minneapolis Sunday paper gave a two-page feature story on a former Belle Plaine school teacher, Florence Brawthan. On leaving Belle Plaine, she married a missionary and accompanied him to India, where she had many thrilling adventures with natives in revolt and where her husband died. She returned to Minneapolis to live.

John Klinkhammer, who was engaged in the bakery business in Sidney, N.Y., for 10 years, was back for a visit with relatives in this locality.

The controversial judicial road connecting Belle Plaine and St. Thomas was decided by Judge Tifft with his approval of the petition. The proposal created a new road from the so-called Conlon schoolhouse at the top of the hill straight south to the Le Sueur County line.

The local K. of C. Council staged a carnival in their new hall to take care of floating indeptedness. There was a kangaroo court, carnival band, trick exhibits, auctions and a dance.

C.W. Irwin gave the young folks a dance and the chance to draw a cow. George Kahle won the cow and proceeded to raffle it off again.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, On behalf of the entire Carver County Attorney’s Office, I would like to thank Mike Wentzell for his leadership as Chief Deputy County Attorney. Governor Dayton recently appointed Mr. Wentzell as a district court judge. Wentzell will be sworn in on January 31 and will be chambered in Chaska.

Simply stated, Carver County is a better and safer place to live and work because of Mr. Wentzell’s tireless pursuit of justice as a prosecutor and chief deputy. Mr. Wentzell has proven himself worthy of such an important and weighty position as a judge. As one of the State’s best prosecutors for the past twelve years, Wentzell has doggedly pursued justice with a tempered and compassionate approach. He has dedicated his career to protecting the rights of both victims and defendants, while holding criminals accountable for their behavior. He has also been a trusted advisor to Carver County agencies, served on sexual violence committees, is a member of Chaska Rotary, serves as an adjunct law professor at William Mitchell College of Law, and in his spare time referees hockey. Most importantly, Wentzell is as fine a human being that you will meet.

Everyone who will appear in front of Judge Wentzell will most assuredly walk out of his courtroom and say “I received a fair hearing� whether they won or lost. Because they will appear in front of a judge who is unfailingly polite and respectful, patient, humble, thoughtful, diligent, and uses common sense while always following the law.

That is the person we have come to know and respect.

Mike Wentzell is proof that hard work, sacrifice and dedication to public service can enable someone to realize their dream.

Mark Metz Carver County Attorney

Dear Editor, I just wanted to respond to the “Common Sense vs Hysteria� letter from Sanda Oslin.

I am confused as to which side they are on.

First, I don’t have a problem with background checks. Be a commercial or private sale, I personally don’t have an issue with background checks on transfers. This is a small step to prevent firearms from getting into the wrong hands. However, like any law, there is always a way that would bypass it. As with Newton, the suspect wasn’t allowed to have firearms, according to the law, but was still able to get their hands on them.

Second, a typical AR-15, which is legal (now) for citizens to own, shoots a .223 round, which is slightly bigger than a 22. These “maximum damageâ€? firearms shoot a bullet, just like any other firearm. They do not “explodeâ€? the target on impact.Â

They move approximately 3000 feet per second, and is small enough to just pass through the target. I’ll gladly show this to anyone that wishes to see it. Yes, I own an AR-15. I use a 3006 for deer hunting, and is much larger than a .223 round. I have yet to destroy a deer with that round with the multiple deer I have shot. Shooting a deer with a .223 round is legal, however, the round is small enough to not cause the knock down power that a 30-06 would do. Just remember, the 30-06 is not in the proposed 2013 ban.

Imagine what it would do to a six year old? Name one firearm that wouldn’t make someone cringe with that thought.

The 1994 gun ban, that was in effect for 10 years, was active during Columbine. Did that ban prevent the mass tragedy? Will the 2013 proposed ban prevent a similar scenario? The shooters had illegal items, but that didn’t stop them. Like I said before, there is always a way to get around a law. Criminals are labelled that because they didn’t follow the law!

I wholeheartedly disagree with the statement that the NRA opposes ALL regulations. Are you kidding me? Take a look at the Firearm Safety Course designed for children given by the Sheriff’s Office, or permit to carry classes. They typically are designed by the NRA, and NRA certified instructors. They are trying to educate them, so they have an understanding and respect for firearms. Selling guns to terrorists? It was our beloved President, and his staff, that allowed the Fast and Furious plan. The BATFE and FBI perform the background (NICS) checks, not the NRA. The federal agencies decide if the purchaser is allowed to have the firearm. Not everyone needs, or deserves, a firearm. There are evil people in this world that will never find a cure. Those educated and have respect for firearms are the ones that should be allowed to have them, if they want. That is the clear thinking common sense we need.

No matter what gun control efforts are put in place, they will not prevent tragedies. There is no perfect answer. Just like there is no perfect solution for car crashes, drug abuse, or other scenario that can harm people that is also against the law. Please make up your own mind when thinking about the gun control issue. Educate yourself, instead of someone misinforming you. Look for these “exploding� bullets. Find out what the NRA does by going to the source. Get first hand experience of these firearms and learn how to respect them. Question those theories on the issue. Please question mine too. The only freedom we have, is making up your own mind, so do your own research, as it is obvious that some have not.

In Cologne, Skaaland Accepts Call to Return to City Council

Jill Skaaland entered the Cologne City Council meeting last Tuesday as if she had planned to be there all along. Instead, she entered the room as a private citizen and left as an appointed councilor. “Does this mean yes,� Lein said as Skaaland took a seat at the table.

Skaaland accepted a request from Mayor Matt Lein to accept a two-year appointment to the council after Councilor Scott Williams suggested at the Jan. 8 meeting the council appoint her to fill the vacancy Lein’s election to the mayor’s post created. The council unanimously appointed Skaaland Jan. 22.

Skaaland did not seek re-election in the fall, but later sought a return to the council as a write-in candidate. “Scott called (after the Jan. 8 meeting) and said, you’re going to hate me,� Skaaland said.

Even though she decided to end her service as a councilor, Skaaland planned to stay in touch with the city, working on the personnel committee. She served with former Mayor Bernie Shambour on the personnel committee during the past year and Lein said the city would benefit from her experience as it continues to deal with the fallout of John Douville’s termination as administrator and the naming of his successor. “Things

arrivals in Scott County. “We’re trying to take what we have and make something that’s very good even better,� he said.

Much of the fair board is “farmcentric,� he said. That attention to the county’s agriculture and its history will remain part of the foundation of the annual county fair, Bailey said.

The fair won rave reviews for the oral history project it hosted in conjunction with local historical societies. Woodward wants the oral history trailer back again next summer.

Woodward’s job will be to market the fair toward families who know little about farming, how a cow is raised and cared for and its place on the food chain.

By attracting the kind of entertainment that appeals to a suburban demographic, Woodward, Bailey and the fair board believe they will win long-term visitors to the annual Scott County gettogether. “Between the board and Brad, we have a good chemistry,� he said.

The fair board employs Woodward on a year-to-year contract, said Mary Siwek, a member of the fair board. He was one of 13 applicants for the job, one of five board members interviewed. “We expect he’ll be with us for 20 years,� she said.

top last year’s total of $99,900 for the St. Peter Polar Plunge.

To make a donation online to a member of Walkin’ on Water Wizardz or any other plunger, visit www.plungemn.org Additional Polar Plunge events are slated for Feb. 16 in Prior Lake, Feb. 23 in Lakeville and March 9 in Eden Prairie.

Last year, about $2.85 million was raised at 17 Polar Plunge events throughout Minnesota.

A National Guard unit held its own plunge event in Afghanistan.

No Training Needed

Other than raising pledges, collecting money and preparing team costumes, there’s not a lot of participation needed to take the plunge. The women on Walkin’ on Water Wizardz have considered wearing bloomers.

Instead, they’ll settle for the Wizardz’ purple team T-shirts and tights. Socks are optional since the wet clothing will be hard to remove after exposure to freezing air.

While some will don elaborate costumes to make the jump into ice-covered water about 3½ feet-deep, experienced Polar Plungers say it’s best to wear as little as possible, nothing that will make it more difficult to get out of the water.

They’re hoping for a better day than a year ago. It was a sunny but cold day, a strong wind from the north and west whipped across the pond to the south shoreline where the plunge was conducted.

Over 500 people are again expected to participate Saturday.

Belle Plaine Police Chief Tom Stolee and members of his staff are planning to jump. The officers are looking forward to Saturday. “We’ll always do this,�

Stolee said. “It’s another way to serve the community.�

Easier This Time

“The worst part is the waiting,� said Hannah Beckius, a Lutheran Home staffer who took her first plunge last year. “The first time is the worst. Now, you know what to expect.�

Beckius recalls the feeling of hitting the cold water. She and her co-workers recall a “pinsand-needles� sensation and muscles contracting.

Scuba divers in the water make sure the jumpers get out safely.

In most cases, Polar Plungers need little help to head for the shore. “All you want to do is get out of the water,� Beckius said.

As they come out of the water and scurry back to a heated tent, plungers pass by tubs filled with hot water. The water has grass and sand in it. “It’s gross, but it feels great,� said Ashley Manthe, a team member who works at Hope Residence.

If the jump was the hard part, recruiting co-workers for the team was the easy part. Deb Wirt, a recreation coordina-

the idea. Jumping into ice-covered water was not a good idea when a woman is seven months pregnant. Now, her primary concern is slipping on the ice as she and teammates prepare to take the plunge. “I’m excited. I’ve heard these guys talk about it,� Muehlenhardt said. “It’s one of the things on my bucket list.�

They will now advance to Section competition at LeSueur-Henderson High School this Saturday to compete against Glencoe-Silver Lake, LeSueur-Henderson, Maple River, Mankato Loyola, St. Peter, Annandale and Maple Lake for the chance to represent our Section at the State Competition the following week. Good luck Tigers!

Governor Dayton proposed his budget last week and caused quite a stir with his proposal for changes to our state sales tax.

In an effort to better balance the proceeds from and reliance on our three major taxes – property, income and sales – he has proposed increasing revenue generated by the sales tax by applying it to goods, services and clothing while lowering the overall tax rate from 6.875% to 5.5%. Additional proposed changes included lowering the corporate sales tax from 9.8% to 8.4% and a homeowner’s rebate for the first $500 of property tax they pay this year. While the end result of his proposal is a very well balanced revenue generating system, there is going to be much discussion and debate over the proposal before any of it is passed into law.

Along with his changes to the tax system, Governor Dayton has proposed a number of changes to education funding that will affect our local district. Here is a quick summary of the proposed changes as presented by Schools for Equity in Education: Basic formula: The Governor recommends increasing the formula by 1% in FY14. The per pupil formula would increase by $52 to $5,276 in FY14. There would be no additional increase in FY15.

All-day Kindergarten: The Governor recommended $40 million in FY15 for all-day kindergarten by increasing the pupil weighting 0.15 for students enrolled in a free all-day every day kindergarten program (from 0.55 to 0.70).

Education Shift Buyback: The Governor recommends repaying the shift by the end of the 2016-17 biennium. $481 million in FY16 will bring the school aid payment ratio to 88.5%:11.5%. $771 million in FY17 will bring the school aid payments back to the 90:10 ratio established in law, and will buy back 100% of the property tax recognition shift, allowing districts to return to the practice of recognizing their May property tax revenue in the following fiscal year.

Special Education: The Governor recommends increasing special education funding by 13% and replacing the current special education-regular and excess cost formulas with a new formula under one category of funding beginning in FY15.

The new special education formula will include a pupil-driven formula that accounts for the incidence and cost related to disabilities as well as poverty concentration and clarification of the excess cost formula to make funding more predictable and ensure that funding is targeted to districts with the greatest need.

Beginning in FY15, all special education costs will be included in excess cost aid calculations, consistent with current practice for tuition billing (e.g., fringe benefits will be added), and aid will be calculated using prior year data.

School-Linked Mental Health Services: The Governor’s Health and Human Services budget proposal expands access to children’s mental health services by doubling funding for School-Linked Mental Health Services over the next two biennia. The base funding is $4.777 million and his recommendations include an additional $2.527 million the first year and $4.907 the second year of the biennium.

pay the price,� he said. “Keeping the kids safe first is something we’re called to do,� said Director Mike Daly.

Early Conferences

The school board approved the 2013-14 school year calendar Monday evening.

The 174-day school year begins Sept. 3. The district will hold conferences with parents and students in kindergarten through sixth-grade Sept. 3-4, noon to 8 p.m. both days.

The early conferences will replace parent information nights and provide time for staff to assess where elementary school students are at academically coming out of summer vacation.

It will also allow more time for parents to meet with teachers to discuss their children, learn about classroom academic and behavior expectations.

With the elementary conferences early, district moved the fall elementary conferences back to Dec. 3 and 5.

The district sent out an e-mail to elementary parents of the proposal to hold early fall conferences. Director Judy Nagel recommended the district notify parents the board enacted the proposal. Smith said the district will monitor attendance at the early conference to determine the effectiveness and parental tolerance of the change. “I think we’ll find out pretty quickly if it goes over big or bad,� Steinhagen said.

The 2013-14 school year concludes June 5 with graduation set for June 8. Unlike previous years, where seniors graduate

Additional Funding Secured for Highway 212 Study Carver County recently learned that the Minnesota Department of Transportation will be providing an additional $400,000 in funding for a Highway 212 Corridor Study – from the city of Carver to Norwood Young America.

These funds will augment existing federal, state and county funds, making the total available for the corridor to be $1.3 million. This funding can be used for design study, right-ofway acquisition and construction. The Southwest Corridor Transportation Coalition has worked successfully for many years to secure federal funding for this high priority corridor. “The result of the study will outline potential projects that can improve safety and manage access,� said Carver County Commissioner James Ische. “The Highway 212 Corridor

Study is a very important step in developing a comprehensive strategy for this segment of highway.�

Elements of the Highway 212 Corridor Study will include developing an access management and safety plan; conducting a phasing plan and right-of-way acquisition plan for the corridor; and prioritizing access and safety projects in the corridor and developing funding strategies for these projects. Once the access, safety and phasing projects are prioritized, work will began on design plans, right-of-way and environmental documents for the high priority projects.

Carver County will be the lead agency for the study and work on the plan is anticipated to start in May. If you have any questions about this study, contact Carver County Public Works at 952-466-5200.

The school district may expand the background checks to volunteers who work directly with children in Belle Plaine Schools Community Education programs, Smith said.

The district will also replace or upgrade exterior windows in all three buildings with either new glass or apply a treatment intended to keep glass from shattering.

The electronics upgrades could cost the district as much as $25,000 this year and an additional $14,000 over the next two years. The cost of upgrading windows in each buildings not yet known. The district plans to implement the security enhancements this spring.

Smith conceded the security upgrades to the 1920s-era District Center, where the senior high holds industrial tech and family and consumer science classes, are problematic because of the age and configuration of the building. Securing students who take classes in the District Center would require a staff person escort them between the District Center and the junior-senior high.

Director Gary Steinhagen said he is “disgusted� by the actions of violent people, actions requiring the district to enact the security upgrades. “Safety comes first and I’m willing to

Dollars for Scholars Phone-A-Thon This Weekend Belle Plaine Dollars for Scholars will conduct its 22nd annual Phone-A-Thon this weekend.

Dozens of students will take turns manning the phones asking District 716 residents to make pledges. This year’s donations will generate immediate funds for 2013 scholarships.

Annual fund-raisers such as the Phone-A-Thon, Car Raffle and Wine Tasting/Silent Auction generate the monies for scholarships to be awarded each year to the graduating students. One-hundred percent of the donation goes toward the scholarships.

Students will be calling potential donators this Saturday, Sunday and Monday evening. Over the past several years, donations

have ranged from $20 to $35 but there is no minimum. If every donation is increased by $5, Dollars for Scholars would earn an additional $5,000 for this year’s graduating class.

This year’s Phone-A-Thon challenge comes from The Lutheran Home, which is donating $250 in Belle Plaine Bucks. To be eligible for the drawing, all you need to do is increase your Phone-A-Thon donation by $5 over last year. For every $5 over last year, you will receive an additional ticket.

If you are not contacted during the Phone-A-Thon but would like to contribute to a Belle Plaine student’s post-secondary education and have your name entered

Deer Harvest Down 4% in 2012 Minnesota hunters harvested 184,649 deer during the 2012 season, down 4 percent from 2011, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

The decline reflects the fact that hunters had fewer chances to harvest antlerless deer because the 2012 season was designed to help stabilize and increase populations, said Leslie McInenly, DNR big game program leader. “We expected the reduction,” she said.

Firearms hunters harvested 155,599 deer while archery and muzzleloader hunters harvested 21,556 and 7,494 deer, respectively. The statewide archery harvest was up 5 percent, muzzleloader harvest increased 1 percent and firearm harvest was down 5 percent from last year.

The DNR will conduct aerial surveys over portions of the state later this winter. Population modeling, coupled with

select aerial surveys, will be used to determine deer density.

Management designations for 2013 deer permit areas will be determined once the new density estimates are compared to established population goals.

“Hunters should pay close attention to the hunting synopsis, which comes out in mid-July, to see if they need to apply for a lottery either-sex permit,” McInenly said.

The final deer harvest number is calculated using information provided by hunters when they register their deer. A final report, which includes more detailed harvest information, will be available in the coming weeks at www.mndnr.gov/deer.

For the 2013 season, the deadline for the either-sex permit application is Thursday, Sept.

5. Archery deer hunting begins Saturday, Sept. 14. Firearms deer season opens Saturday, Nov. 9. Muzzleloader season opens Saturday, Nov. 30.

Trapshooting to be Recognized

by MSHSL Like Any Other Sport The Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) recently approved an official partnership with the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League (MSHSCTL) starting in June of 2014.

Trapshooting will be recognized as a sport like all other high school sports, thus making Minnesota the first state high school athletic association in the nation to host a sanctioned high school trapshooting state tournament.

“Since the MSHSCTL’s inception in 2001, the league has worked closely with the MSHSL. By modeling our policies and procedures with that of the MSHSL, we have mirrored their organization,” said Jim Sable, founder and executive director of the MSHSCTL. “This fulfills a goal that began 12 years ago when we had just three high schools and about 30 athletes.”

In 2012, 1,500 student athletes from 57 high school teams, including Belle Plaine, participated in the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League.

The League expects to host more than 3,000 student athletes from more than 100 high school teams in the 2013 spring league.

In just its second year, the Belle Plaine High School trap shooting team competed in the 2012 Minnesota State High School Clay Target League shoot in Alexandria. Two Belle Plaine shooters were lauded for their efforts. Erika Schneider earned a third place finish in the girls’ novice division. Josiah Berringer carded a perfect round in one of the four rounds of 25 shots during the competition. He is the first Belle Plaine shooter to earn the perfect score.

Coach Joe Deutsch, a BPHS industrial tech. teacher, said he is pleased with the growth of the team. In 2011, 14 students made up the Belle Plaine roster.

Last year, 32 shooters, including three girls, participated in the varsity, junior varsity and novice competitions.

The Minnesota State High School Clay Target League is a non-profit corporation and the independent provider of shooting sports as an extra-curricular coed activity to high schools for students in grades 6-12 who have their Firearms Safety Certification. The MSHSCTL has three priorities – safety, fun and marksmanship – in that order.

Boys’ Basketball (continued from page 15) at halftime but came back to take a three-point lead at 35-32.

The Tigers rallied with a 10-1 run to take a six-point lead at 42-36 and then hold on down the stretch “We stayed patient for most of the game and got their post players in foul trouble,” Wellner said. “I can’t say enough about the defensive performance of Jack Winders and Alec Koepp.

Jack played one of the best individual defensive games that I have seen, holding their best scorer to two points. Alec was a difference maker by blocking shots. He stopped a lot of shot attempts by just being in the game. Their half-court trap hurt us at the end of the game. As coaches, we need to design a new strategy to beat that. They turned us over a few times at the end and they had a chance to win the game, but our defensive play made them take two tough shots that both missed at the end of the game.”

Dauwalter just missed out on another double-double for Belle Plaine with 14 points and nine rebounds. Bigaouette finished with 11 points and five assists. Koepp had seven points, six blocked shots and five rebounds. Winders (five points and four rebounds), Narveson (five points), Meger (four points) and Bristlin (three points) were the other leaders for Belle Plaine.

Wrestling (continued from page 15) “Jake wrestled an outstanding match,” cites Ripley. “He has had a couple of good weeks now and continued improvement is hoped for and expected.”

Scott West was hoping that Ray Carter could deliver a big win at 195 pounds but the junior dropped a tough 5-3 match to Nick Burns as the Royals were in the process of sweeping the final four weights, the meet and MRC championship.

W-M tied the meet at 27-27 when Jon Ernst scored a 130 major decision over Willie Staples III, and big Davion Franklin would bring the 20year MRC winning streak to an end for Scott West as the senior heavyweight secured a first period pin of Daniel Kochlin.

“It was a good streak and something that our program can certainly be proud of, but like I said earlier, it is not what defines our program,” insists Ripley. “I guess streaks are like records and they are made to be broken and/or ended and tonight was the time to have our MRC streak ended, so congratulations to W-M.” Scott West will be back in action Friday night in Belle Plaine as it takes on Class 3A’s #6-rated Shakopee.

The Scott West 9th Grade League team was in action on Saturday as the young Panthers traveled to Dassel-Cokato for the 9th Grade League Region 3 Individual Tournament, with the top two place-winners advancing to the Minnesota 9th Grade League State Tournament, which will be held next Saturday at Champlin Park.

Scott West advanced four wrestlers to the state tournament as Jackson Stauffacher (100), Tyler Buesgens (120) and Josiah Schatz (HWT) all won their respective brackets, while Deshawn Carter placed second in the 152-pound bracket.

Tigers Still Looking for First Win Against MRC’s Top Half

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team’s failure to beat the upper echelon of the Minnesota River Conference continues as Watertown-Mayer completed a season sweep of the Tigers with a 61-55 triumph Thursday night at the BPHS gym. Belle Plaine followed up that game with a 69-52 nonconference loss at home against Kenyon-Wanamingo Friday night.

Through the first nine MRC games this season, Belle Plaine is 0-5 against the upper half of the conference standings and 4-0 against the three teams beneath it. Of the five conference games remaining heading into this week, two remained against the lower teams (Sibley East and Tri-City United) and three against the higher teams (Mayer Lutheran, Jordan and Norwood Young America), meaning if history continues to repeat itself, the Tigers will finish the MRC season with a record of 6-8.

Belle Plaine, 7-12 overall, was scheduled to host Sibley East Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press. The Tigers will be at Mayer Lutheran for another MRC contest 7:30 p.m. this Friday.

Watertown-M 61, Tigers 55 Haley Fogarty tossed in 22 points (most in the second half) but the Tigers still couldn’t overcome a seven-point halftime deficit en route to a 61-55 loss to the Royals Thursday night in Belle Plaine.

Otto (15) and Fogarty (14) were the scoring leaders for Belle Plaine. Hayden added nine, while Meyer, Murphy and Read each had four. Kalli Koepp chipped in two points.

Hayden had a team-high 10 rebounds, while Meyer and Murphy both had six.

“At times we played very well but we dug ourselves a hole early,” said Belle Plaine coach Randy Carlson. “If we can cut down on turnovers and shoot a little better, it would really make us better. Defensively, we did well. We lost their shooters occasionally, which we can’t do. You can’t give good shooters easy shots. This was another game that was could’veshould’ve. We need to make plays.”

Claire Otto and Mariena Hayden were the only other Tigers besides Fogarty in double figures scoring with 11 points apiece. Jamie Read and Ellie Murphy both chipped in four and Amara Meyer three.

Hayden led the team in rebounds with 11, while Otto was tops in assists with four. Fogarty had seven rebounds and five steals.

Kenyon-W 69, Tigers 52 Another slow start resulted in a 38-21 halftime deficit as visiting Kenyon-Wanamingo rolled to a 17-point win.

“It was an ugly first half,” Carlson said. “We weren’t ready to play and did not compete or play hard. At the end of the half, we finally showed some spark but we were already down by 20.

Panthers Suffer Rare MRC Loss After going on the road to Farmington on Thursday night to win a pair of dual meets over WEM-JWP (43-21) and host Farmington (45-19), the Scott West wrestling team returned to the home mats Friday night for its first and only dual meet of the season in Jordan. It was a Minnesota River Conference championship showdown between the Panthers and the Watertown-Mayer/Mayer Lutheran Royals.

Scott West came into the meet having not lost to a MRC opponent over the last 20 years as it had captured 10 straight MRC titles from 1993 to 2002 before being exiled from MRC competition from 2003 through 2011.

After being brought back into official MRC competition last year, the Panthers returned to win their 11th MRC championship in 2012.

“We have certainly had a lot

of success at Scott West in and out of the conference,” says Scott West coach Darren Ripley. “With that said, I don’t think that we have ever let our conference success define our program; our program has been defined both individually and as a team by the section and state tournament series.”

Scott West’s series of MRC wins came to an end Friday night in Jordan as W-M won a hard-fought 33-27 battle between the two state-ranked teams.

“You have to give W-M credit for coming in and winning the close matches that they needed to win,” comments Ripley.

“Our wrestlers know that you need to win the close matches to win the close dual meets and tonight we lost one match by a point, three matches by two points and a third by three points, and therefore, we lost the meet.”

The first close match of the night came at 120 pounds between Watertown’s Adam Traen and Panther Jacob Backland. After surrendering the opening take down in the first period, Backlund fought back to take a 4-2 lead with a beautiful double leg midway through the second period. However, the official would find his way into the match and warn the Scott West wrestler not once, but twice for stalling as he rode his Royal opponent out but now held just a 4-3 advantage. Traen then scored an escape and a 6-5 winning take down in the third period.

“Jacob wrestled a really good second period with a nice take down and hard ride out that mysteriously got penalized,” comments Ripley. “He is capable of putting three good periods together and getting a win in decisive fashion in a match like that.”

Traen’s win evened the team score at 6-6 as the two teams had split the pair of matches at 106 and 113, with W-M’s Jackson Sweeney getting a 6-1 decision over Ben Kelvington, while David Flynn scored a second period pin of Royal Corey Jobe.

Zach Siegle returned to the Scott West lineup with a big 8-2 win over Matt Elsenpeter at 126 pounds. Siegle had defeated Elsenpeter last year to qualify for the state tournament, where he went on to place fourth. In this one, Elsenpeter scored the opening take down but Siegle scored a big five-point move to secure the win and give Scott West a 9-6 team lead.

“Big win by Zach,” states Ripley. “It was good to see him get better as the match progressed.”

As the meet progressed, both teams would grab the lead at different points. Following the Siegle win, the Royals took the lead behind an Aaron Sweeney 17-1 technical fall of Tyler Ackmann at 132 and a 6-4 decision by Joe Jobe over Shane Abraham at 138.

With the team score in favor of the Royals at 14-9, Panther senior Luke Zilverberg delivered a big third period pin of Jon Vouk as he used a reverse lock to spin the Royal wrestler to his back. “We need pin falls and David, Luke and Derek delivered them,” states Ripley.

“Luke did a really good job of making sure that his reverse lock was a tight pinning combination.”

The Zilverberg pin put Scott West up 15-14 but W-M came back with 4-1 win by Joe Reinert over Jake Weierke at 152 pounds, which would give the visiting Royals the team lead back at 17-15. W-M then forfeited to Andrew Fogarty at 160 before Derek Dahlke dropped Bryce Kallenbach in a third period headlock and an ensuing pin fall call that gave the Panthers a 27-17 team lead.

“Derek really did a good job of settling in and taking his time in tightening up his headlock for the pin fall,” says Ripley.

With four matches to go in the meet and a 27-17 Scott West lead, the Panthers looked to Jake Schultz to go out and do battle with returning state place-winner Austin Torres at 182 pounds. Schultz delivered an inspirational performance and nearly pulled off an upset before losing a hard-fought 9-7 match.

Tigers Run Win Streak to Five

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School boys’ basketball team ran its winning streak to five games with a trio of victories, including a pair of conference wins over Tri-City United (60-48) last Tuesday and Le SueurHenderson (64-46) on Friday.

The Tigers got this week started with a dramatic 49-48 win over Faribault Bethlehem Academy on Monday.

The Tigers, 4-2 in the Minnesota River Conference, 10-6 overall, were scheduled to travel to Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial for a nonconference game Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press. They will resume MRC play with a 7:30 p.m. game this Thursday at home against Watertown-Mayer. Sibley East will be in town for another conference showdown 7:30 p.m. next Tuesday.

Tigers 60, TCU 48 The Tigers jumped out to an early 14-2 lead over the Titans and made it hold up en route to a 60-48 victory last Tuesday night at the BPHS gym.

Gavin Dauwalter and Alec Koepp led Belle Plaine with 18 and 17 points, respectively.

They also shared the team lead in rebounds with eight apiece.

“This was a good win for us.

TCU has had our number the past few years,” said Belle Plaine coach John Wellner. “Our post players – Alec Koepp and Gavin Dauwalter – led the way with their scoring and more important their rebounding. When we focused on giving them the ball, we were really effective offensively. We didn’t do a great job of defensive rebounding; they rebounded over 50 percent of their missed shots.

Credit goes to them because they were physical and played hard. We just have to do a better job matching their aggressiveness. We had a season-low seven turnovers and we shot 45 percent. When we do that, we have a good chance of winning.”

Following Dauwalter and Koepp in scoring for the Tigers were Luke Narveson (9), Aaron Bigaouette (8), Jack Winders (4), Jacob Meger (2) and Mitch Nelson (2). Bigaouette and Winders both had four assists, while Bigaouette and Dauwalter had four steals apiece.

Tigers 64, LS-H 46 This time Dauwalter and Koepp both had 17 points to go along with 14 and 10 rebounds, respectively as Belle Plaine rolled over Le Sueur-Henderson 64-46 Friday night in Le Sueur.

“We played very well this game. It was a big night with lots of events for LS-H and I am very proud of the players on how they stayed focused.

We only had four turnovers in the first half, which allowed us to be very efficient on offense.

Alec Koepp had a terrific game.

He has been playing great the past few games. Gavin Dauwalter also played a great game with his typical outstanding rebounding. The key to this game was rebounding. We grabbed over 50 percent of the available offensive rebounds and limited them to one shot in many possessions.”

Rounding out the scoring for Belle Plaine were Bigaouette (8), Meger (6), Narveson (5), Karl (4), Bristlin (3), Nelson

(3) and Brandon Boateng (1).

Tigers 49, Faribault BA 48 Faribault Bethlehem Academy couldn’t get a couple of potential game-winning shots to fall in the closing seconds and Belle Plaine was able to escape its own gym with the one-point victory Monday night.

Woodward Will Blend History, New Focus to Scott County Fair

When he was a kid growing up in Coon Rapids, Brad Woodward remembers a few trips to the Anoka County Fair.

Today, Woodward spends most every day at the county fair, the Scott County Fair, where he was recently hired Jan. 4 as the new general manager replacing longtime GM Jim Luce.

A Shakopee resident for the past four-plus years, the 46year-old father of four young children age 12 and younger, has several years of festival and

person the Scott County Fair Board and Agricultural Society want to attract to the fair. The county fair can no longer solely focus on its agricultural past and small town roots to draw paying customers through the gates, not when most county residents live in the suburbanized portion of northern Scott County.

A big part of Woodward’s job will be to attract people like himself – families who recently moved to the county without an agricultural background, said Kevin Bailey, president of the fair board and owner of a 40acre hobby farm in Belle Plaine Brad Woodward Township. event administration in Florida “He’s just the demographic and across the country under we’re looking for,� Bailey said. his belt as well as management experience in the hospitality inA New Audience dustry.

Frightful Outside But Elegant Inside Just as Sunday’s rain, sleet and snow mix was beginning, so too did the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce’s annual “From Me to You� Wedding Expo and Bridal Consignment at Oak Crest Elementary School. According to Carrie Traxler of the chamber, attendance was down this year. She said 57 brides-to-be attended the expo, compared to well over 100 in 2012.

Traxler added that 177 people visited the expo, less than half of the 400 who did so last year.

Traxler said this year’s attendance numbers would have been higher had it not been for the poor driving weather. Pictured in the upper left photo (at the right side of the table) are Lynn Feeney and Mary Jo Morris of Emma Krumbee’s displaying some floral arrangements and baked goods. Pictured above are a few of the customers looking over dozens of pairs of shoes that were on consignment. Pictured below is Jaisa Zuraff of Bride To Be Consignment, who removed a dress from one of the mannequins to bring to a potential buyer to try on.
