Grant Application Not Submitted Acting Mayor Expresses Dissatisfaction at ‘Oversight’

Over

Head High on the Fourth of July

It’s looking a lot like August on some farms in St. Lawrence Township and elsewhere in the Belle Plaine area. Pictured here are members of the Tom and Lynne Jeurissen family, whose farm is located on County Road 66 about one-half mile from Highway 169. Tom Jeurissen said some fields are further along than his, some of which were planted April 12. Jeurissen, who planted his corn on April 26, said he expects his field(s) to be in the full tasseling stage very soon, especially if the area gets a shot of rain this week. Jeurissen’s father, Hubie Jeurissen, pictured on the far left, said “everything is a month ahead of schedule.” The Jeurissens acknowledged that not all fields in the area are doing so well, especially those that were planted late and/or received hail damage last month. Pictured to the right of Hubie are Lynne, Adam, Andrea and Tom Jeurissen. This photo was taken late Monday afternoon as record temperatures for July 2 were topping out near 100 degrees. “This would be a nice time for a rain,” Tom Jeurissen said.

Disagreement on Job Description Costs Two Staffers Their Jobs Smith: ‘We’re Terminating Two Good Employees’

by John Mueller A difference of opinion between the Belle Plaine School District and its teachers’ union over the qualifications needed for two media center/technology positions has cost two staffers their jobs.

Last week, the Belle Plaine School Board eliminated the two para-professional positions and then terminated the employment of the two employees -- Allison Mereness and Joe Ploetz.

“We’re terminating two good employees,” Smith said.

“They’ve done a very good job.”

Though hired as para-professionals to work in media centers at Oak Crest and Chatfield elementary schools, they are both licensed teachers. Superintendent Kelly Smith said they were hired knowing the job qualifications and pay was based on para-professional work, regardless of their respective licenses.

Mereness and Ploetz were paid $12.02 per hour for seven hours a day, 1,295 hours during the school year.

After the June 25 school board meeting, Smith said the issue is an unusual, one borne of a difference of opinion between the

by Dan Ruud Last Tuesday’s (June 26) deadline for the city to submit a grant application to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) came and went without the city submitting the application.

That deadline was eight days after the Belle Plaine City Council gave staff the authorization to prepare and submit the application for the grant, funds from which (if approved) would have went toward helping fund an overpass at Highway 169 and County Road 3/Meridian Street with access to 169.

Just a few weeks earlier, the city’s application for a Minnesota Transportation Economic Development Program (TED)

grant to help fund the same proposed project was denied.

On April 16, the council authorized an expenditure not to exceed $9,950 for the city engineering firm of Bolton and Menk to develop and submit the application for the TED grant.

City Engineer Joe Duncan on June 18 said much of the information gathered and processed for that application would be used in the DEED application, with some modifications. However, the DEED application did not make it to the state.

“The application for DEED funds was not submitted due to requirements for funding,” City Administrator David Murphy reported to the council Monday night. “When the application was presented to the council

(on June 18), the full requirements from the city for funding from the city were not fully realized by staff. The application requires that the council pass a resolution committing to the cost share and to identify where funds will come from. Staff will do our best to not allow this to happen again in the future.”

That explanation did not satisfy Council Member Cary Coop, who served as acting mayor for vacationing Mayor Tim Lies at Monday night’s city council meeting. Coop was a major supporter of allowing staff to apply for the grant at the June 18 meeting.

“I see this (failure to submit the

Council Reviews Latest Offer from Township on Belle Plaine Trail Issue

by Dan Ruud The middle of summer is almost here and the Belle Plaine City Council and Belle Plaine Township Board are continuing to try and find a middle ground in regards to the overall responsibility of the Belle Plaine Trail, which is in need of repair from end to end.

The council on June 18 voted to award the bid for the improvement of the road that has been shared by the city and Belle Plaine Township for many years. But the awarding of the bid was only for the city’s share of the road.

The issue, which has been debated between the council and township officials (and attorneys for both sides) for much

of 2012, has not been resolved, although the council did award the bid to Chard Tiling of Belle Plaine to pave the city’s portion of the project, which includes some 1,777 feet of the eastern end of the road. That’s a little less than half the length of the entire stretch. The bid was for $128,114, which the city would pay approximately one-half of for its share of the road.

What will come of the rest of the road was left up in the air.

The township had offered the city (by way of a resolution) a payment of $65,000, representing the township’s proportionate share of reconstruction costs, engineering and future maintenance of the Belle Plaine Trail.

The majority of the council was fine with the resolution up to that point. What it was opposed to is the part of the resolution that states “payment of the $65,000 is contingent upon the city executing an annexation agreement of all incorporated portions of Belle Plaine Trail, resulting in the entire roadway between Highway 169 and Ashford Way being entirely within the jurisdiction of the city and thereby becoming a city street.”

Mayor Tim Lies, citing future maintenance costs, said he would not support the annexa-

Belle Plaine, Scott County Among Metro’s Highest in Foreclosures With a year-to-date foreclosure rate nearly double the statewide average (1.0 percent vs. 0.5 percent), Scott County communities are among Minnesota’s hardest hit in the housing crisis.

Scott joins metro-area counties Anoka, Washington and Hennepin with year-to-date foreclosures rates breaking the 1 percent mark.

According to a Minnesota 2020 report, Belle Plaine saw 41 of its more than 3,000 houses foreclosed on so far this year.

That’s on top of several years of housing issues. But Scott County Deputy Sheriff Duane Jirik, whose department helps oversee foreclosures in the county, said he has the city of Belle Plaine down for 30 foreclosures (as of Friday).

“I’m assuming they (Min-

nesota 2020) may be taking into account the addresses for Belle Plaine that are in Sibley and Carver counties also,” Jirik said.

When discussing exurban and suburban foreclosures, Minnesota 2020 says one aspect that is often overlooked is the dramatic rise in homelessness.

Across the metro area, homelessness, especially among adolescents, is at an all-time high and growing.

Though foreclosures vary across the state and metro area, policy action is needed to stabilize Minnesota families and communities, especially because homelessness spills over into schools. It could have longterm impacts on the economic achievement gap and a cycle of poverty.

According to the 2020 report, keeping families in their

Business was brisk Saturday at the Bake Shop, the downtown Shop’s owners, Jami and Mark Kruschke, operated the busiBelle Plaine bakery. Chris Hazzard and Alex Kruschke were ness for over a decade. But without a buyer, Saturday was the busy helping customers throughout the morning. The Bake bakery’s last day.

Downtown’s Bake Shop Closes

by Dan Ruud There will be no freshly-baked goods to be bought in downtown Belle Plaine until further notice, if ever.

The Bake Shop, which has been owned and operated by Mark and Jami Kruschke since Dec. 1, 2001, shut its doors possibly for good at the close of business on Saturday.

Jamie Kruschke said the only way the business will reopen is if a buyer steps forward to purchase it. So far, nothing appears imminent.

“Most likely today (Saturday) was our last business day. Thank you for the 10 1/2 years,” stated

the Kruschkes on The Bake Shop’s Facebook page. “We have appreciated your business and friendship and being part of your celebrations, births, confirmations, graduations, birthdays and weddings . . . Thank you for letting us be part of your day! Blessings to everyone – we will miss you but will see you around town.”

The Kruschkes purchased the business from Tom and Valerie Peterson, who had operated it under the name Starlight Bakery for a number of years. Prior to that, downtown’s longtime pastry establishment (same location) was called Don’s

Bakery. In the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s, it was known as the Belle Plaine Bakery operated by Peter Mahoney.

“Closing a business that has been in place there for 60 or 70 years is very hard on our hearts.

It’s very emotional,” Kruschke said on Tuesday.

Kruschke said the decision to get out of the baking business wasn’t made overnight. She said she and Mark have had the building on the market for six years. She added that she has not been as involved in the operation of the business as much these days because she also teaches middle school. She also

said that Mark has for some time wanted to try something new.

Kruschke acknowledged that increased competition in recent years from Kwik Trip and Coborn’s did not help business.

“The economy and competition have been an impact,” she said.

The Bake Shop was the second downtown business to close in a little over a week. Mystic Journey, a health and wellness business that was operated by Sarah Jaeger on the 100 block of North Meridian Street for four years, closed the previous week.

Fleet Farm Opens in Carver Mills Fleet Farm officially opened for business on June 28, at 1935 Levi Griffin Road in Carver.

The Mills development features nearly six acres of retail space in the main store, in addition to a convenience store, gas station and car wash.

The project was facilitated by the construction of Levi Griffin Road, a new four-lane collector street, which was a collaborative effort between the city of Carver, Carver County, Mills

Fleet Farm and several adjacent property owners.

In addition to the new Mills Fleet Farm, the construction of Levi Griffin Road opens up nearly one-hundred acres in Carver’s new 212 Freeway Commercial District.

The city envisions the development of Mills Fleet Farm will provide the first of several new employment opportunities and retail options for residents of Carver and the surrounding area.

Bar-B-Q Days Coin Still Hiding

Farmers Market Corner The Belle Plaine Farmers Market will not be open this week. We will be back next week though as the produce pours in.

Last week, 18 vendors set up tables. A very promising sign of things to come. Vegetables were in abundance as vendors displayed carrots, broccoli, green beans, peppers, lettuce and more. It’s going to be a great season so be sure and check every week.

Reeds have their beautiful perennials and Roy has fresh-cut flowers. Take some home to beautify inside and outside your home. Roy also has real maple

syrup and Charlie has a variety of honey to suit anyone’s taste.

As the temperature climbs, remember our feathered friends.

They need fresh water too and they’re fun to watch in a bird bath.

The Belle Plaine Farmers Market is held Wednesdays at Court Square Park May through October from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Vendors wishing to sell homemade and/or homegrown products are welcome. If you have a talent you would like to share, we invite you to throw down a hat and perform at the market.

For more information, contact Lisa at 952-873-5665 or Diane at 952-873-2467.

How to Save Your Overly Wet or Dry Garden

by Travis Gerjets, University of Minnesota Extension Master Gardener Intern of Scott/Carver counties Are your tomato plants looking a little droopy? Perhaps some of your favorite annuals are showing signs of yellowing foliage? Drop that watering can! Your plants might not need a drink, but instead need to “dry their feet!”

Unfortunately for us gardeners, the symptoms of an overwatered plant are similar to those of an under-watered plant: droopy foliage with yellowing from the base of the plant upwards. Diagnosing the difference between an over-watered plant and an under-watered plant is often as simple as recalling weather or maintenance history: has it rained much recently? Have I been remembering to water these pots? Has it rained recently and have I been watering?

Not sure if your plant needs a drink or needs to dry out? Use the finger test: stick your pointer-finger into the soil around your droopy plant all the way down to the knuckle. Is the soil at finger tip moist (or swimming)? If so, you might have too much water. If the soil is dry, then you know your plant is in need of a drink.

For those of us who live in the Twin Cities area, the recent series of storms have left many of our gardens seriously over-watered. If your plants are in desperate need of drying out, here are a few steps to consider: – Pull out the mulch. Mulch works to hold moisture in the soil. With the mulch gone, the sun and wind will be able to dry the soil out faster.

– Give it a till. Using a hand tiller, carefully work up the wet soil below the surface. Regularly tilling up the wet soil and

turning down the dry soil will help the area dry out quickly.

Watch out that you do not damage plant roots, though!

– Replant or repot. If the soil is seriously soaked, you may have to remove the plant and place it in a dry spot or new pot. Since this process could stress the plant further, only attempt if the plant is in dire straights.

– Plan for next year. If you find that an area of your garden regularly collects water, don’t fight it – use it! Transform wet areas in your lawn into a rain garden.

For more information on plant maintenance, visit the University of Minnesota’s Extension Garden website at http://www. extension.umn.edu/garden.

WEDNESDAY, july 4, 2012

No one was able to locate the 2012 Bar-B-Q Days medallion following last week’s first clue.

The second clue is published below, preceded by the republishing of the first clue. An additional clue, if necessary, will be published in the July 11 Herald.

The same rules apply as last year. The search area includes all of the Belle Plaine city limits northward to the railroad tracks (the coin will not be north of the tracks). A map of the city limits can be found on the city’s website at www.belleplainemn.com.

The medallion is located on public property and is not more than 6 feet off the ground. It is not on the Historical House property or inside Tiger Park baseball field. Those searching on foot are encouraged to use the tunnel to cross Highway 169.

The medallion is about 2 inches in diameter and has "Belle Plaine Bar-B-Q Days" inscribed on it. The prize for finding it is $100 in Belle Plaine Bucks. If you find it, call Tom Meger at Golden Touch Jewelry at 8732265.

Last year, the coin was found

by Randy Hartmann attached

to a guard rail along Highway 25 next to the teeter tot sign warning motorists that they’re about to enter a park zone. The discovery came a day after the publishing of the second clue.

Thirty Years Ago This Week

Grand Marshals To Be The 1982 Bar-B-Q Days celebration was fast approaching but the business of deciding who was going to lead the parade was completed as long-time Belle Plaine area farmers Roger and Vera Hillstrom were selected grand marshals.

Call it unbearable or call it sultry, but it was simply too hot for words to explain that July 4 weekend. The official temperature reported in the Twin Cities Sunday reached 99 degrees, which was 1 degree shy of beating the all-time record for July 4. The 100-degree reading reached Monday topped the previous record for July 5 in both 1948 and 1949. The swimming pool did a booming business over the weekend. Recreation Director Eileen Brandt said it was wall-to-wall swimmers as 320 cooled off on Saturday and 370 on Sunday. Monday’s crowd was 275. Meanwhile, a sprinkling ban was in effect for Belle Plaine.

The political fight over who would run the Scott County Attorney’s Office the next four years was already heating up.

Filings opened that Tuesday and both incumbent Kathleen Morris and Shakopee attorney Phil Kanning filed for the post.

Kanning was presently serving as city attorney for Belle Plaine and was a member of the Shakopee law firm of Krass, Meyer, Kanning and Walsten.

The only sound to disturb the peace at the recently renovated Mount Moriah Cemetery was the soft singing of birds. The cemetery had an unknown number of graves, but there were about 20 that either had stones or could be identified.

The Belle Plaine VFW Post No. 6202 had decided about two years previous to clean up the cemetery. According to Fred Hart, who did some preliminary work concerning the cemetery and helped in the renovation, the area was very overgrown with vines and briars the first time he visited the graveyard.

He added that he could hardly walk through the area.

The Bar-B-Q Days treasure coin eluded seekers the first week. The finder would receive a $50 reward.

The annual Belle Plaine River Fishin’ Contest was scheduled for that coming weekend. The captor of the biggest fish would get $50.

The Belle Plaine town baseball team lost to Cologne 8-2.

Ken Solheid had two of the Tigers’ three hits. Belle Plaine’s record stood at 7-6 with three

games to play.

60 Years Ago (1952)

The weatherman cooperated with boosters of Belle Plaine’s Fourth of July celebration as it was a beautiful day and evening for more than 2,000 persons.

Axel Adamson sold to John Ruebel of Nicollet his 240 acres in Carver County, which included what was known as the Kelly place.

Mrs. Emily Rusch Gosewisch of Lanesburg Township died at the age of 80.

Nick Schommer of Belle Plaine Township filed for the office of county commissioner in the 1st Scott County District.

Mrs. Herman Stieve, wellknown resident of the Gotha area, died at the New Prague hospital. She was 65 years old.

The Minnesota River was again bankfull and inundating the lowest of the bottom lands.

Miss Lucille Theresa Koenig, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Koenig of Belle Plaine, became the bride of John Connolly of St. Thomas.

A daring break-in took place in Belle Plaine when the office of the Minnesota Valley Natural Gas Company in the Joe Stradcutter building was burglarized.

The burglars netted $240.

Mr. and Mrs. George Lundquist departed for their new home in San Diego, Calif.

The Rolf family reunion, held every five years, was to take place this time on the Zion Lutheran Church grounds. The five-year event in the past had brought a gathering in excess of 300.

Belle Plaine extended its winning streak by making it three straight conference victories as they breezed past Prior Lake 51.

Carl Witt moved to St. Paul.

After a few years in the city they moved to Belle Plaine.

Dr. G.R. Moloney departed on a trip to Ireland. He was accompanied his nephew, Rev. P.C. Moloney of Glencoe.

The most popular boy in town was Art Splettstoesser. He had acquired a sport model Buick, said to be the niftiest owned by any of the younger generation.

Miss Emmi Kuhn of Osnabruck, Germany, arrived for a lengthy visit with her aunt, Mrs. F.J. Von Boland.

At the Waconia lake on July 4th occurred a double drowning. The victims were Rev. Wm. Hitzemann of St. Paul and Ruth Heidman, daughter of the Arlington pastor. The body of the minister was recovered within an hour. Finally, J.H. Krekelberg of Belle Plaine was engaged by the Arlington pastor to find his daughter’s body and he succeeded in doing so.

Joe Stradcutter bought from Tom Newell the Mertens building and the adjoining lot for $4,500.

Reckless throwing of a giant firecracker at Gaylord on the Fourth brought death to the wife of former Belle Plaine boy, John Meisinger Jr. She was a Gaylord girl and the funeral was held there.

The ball team representing Belle Plaine that summer had this roster: Bonde, Gangle, Reed, Nelson, Larson, Dvorak, Schultz, Anderson, Fehr and Bauman. Only the last name on that list was a local man.

Elmer Wherley, 23, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wherley, formerly of Faxon, met accidental death by drowning at Anaconda, Mont. His remains were brought to Belle Plaine and the funeral was held from the Jessenland Church the following day.

In order to induce Sibley County to order the quartermile connecting link with the new Carver County road along the river bottom hillside, Faxon Township and Belle Plaine agreed to go 50-50 with Sibley on the cost.

120 Years Ago (1892)

We still had horse thieves.

A 6-year-old mare was stolen from the barn of Michael Prendergast, and there was no trace of the animal.

Dr. Seigneuret of Henderson, who had been experimenting for 30 years on the construction of an improved engine, finally figured he had it. He called it a gaso-steam engine and secured exhibit space at the Chicago World’s Fair to display it.

The big news of the week was the battle between striking workmen at the Carnegie steel plant in Homestead, Pa., and 300 armed Pinkertons.

Belle Plaine Trail (continued from page 8) ing, snowplowing and mowing needs have been addressed solely by the township with no costs charged to the city for the past several years. It is noted that the city and township have no formal maintenance agreement concerning Belle Plaine Trail, Old Hwy. 169 Boulevard, Kittson Boulevard and Jason Avenue. On Belle Plaine Trail, the township owns and is responsible for the equivalent of up to 2,100 feet of roadway, including the south half of the church property. “We would propose a road ‘swap’ as part of the Belle Plaine Trail agreement. Each party would assume ownership and maintenance responsibility for the other party’s sections of the above roads as follows: – The township would contractually assume road maintenance responsibility for all gravel portions of Kittson Boulevard and Jason Avenue, while the city would annex and accept maintenance responsibility on Belle Plaine Trail. As part of the agreement, Belle Plaine Township would also make a onetime payment of $61,494.53 for the purpose of improving Belle Plaine Trail. – If at any time in the future, platted development occurs on the land adjacent to Kittson Boulevard or Jason Avenue, these roads would again become the responsibility of the city to maintain . . . “We would hope that you would consider our attached resolution and see merit and benefit in it for both parties.

The township believes this is a reasonable path to find a uniform Belle Plaine Trail solution and at the same time establish sound and unquestionable maintenance policies for two stretches of shared road.�

Lies, who was absent from Monday night’s city council meeting due to being on vacation, left a note for his “fellow councilors� to consider in reference to the township’s proposal. “After viewing the latest proposal from the township, I am of the opinion that we should accept the offer of exchanging the maintenance of the dirt roads specified in the proposal, and take on the maintenance of Belle Plaine Trail. I believe we could sign a 20-year agreement to that effect. “I would also accept the first offer of $65,000 toward the repair of the trail. We would repair the entire length of the trail using the bid submitted by Chard Tiling. “I would not be in favor of accepting the annexation of the trail,� Lies concluded.

Following Monday night’s regular agenda, the council briefly met in “closed� session to discuss potential litigation and the proposed improvements to Belle Plaine Trail. The issue will be placed on the July 16 council agenda for further review and action.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: The Minneota Republican Party is delusional. I am allowed to make this judgement because I was the Republican Precinct Chair for several election cycles. I am proud to have helped elect Bill Macklin, Claire Robling, and Carol Molnau.

The current list of candidates and state leaders has been infected by some strange insanity of being soldiers in a battle for cultural righteousness. They are spending time and treasure to preserve a social organization that probably never existed and is by no definition progess. I will vote against both ammendments to the constitution the Republicans are so proud of. The photo I.D. ammendment is an insult to the many election judges who have worked so hard to monitor our elections and a sign of the paranoia infecting the Republican leadership. I refuse to have my marriage defined by the sex of my partner and how close we match some prejudiced view of normal. My marriage is an extremely complex structure of caring and support and responsibility that is totally unrelated to sexuality. Therefore, I will campaign and vote against the constitutional ammendment on marriage.  Larry Kiewel Belle Plaine

Just Plain Belle...

July is a great time to make some good old fashioned homemade ice cream.

Vanilla Ice Cream

1 pint whipping cream (1 cup whipping cream and 1 cup milk can be substituted) 1/2 cup sugar 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract pinch of salt crushed ice 3/4 cup rock salt In a mixing bowl, combine the whipping cream/milk, sugar, vanilla and pinch of salt. Mix well. Pour into ice cream maker. Surround the canister with ice and rock salt. Mix the cream mixture until the desired thickness. Enjoy!

Ice and Rock Salt: Salt is a key factor in making ice cream.

The salt will make the ice cream thicken faster. Use only rock salt, sea salt or kosher salt.

All other salts or chemical salts will NOT work.

Ice Cream Recipe: Try to stay away from recipes that use raw eggs. Our grandparents will say "nothing ever happened to us eating raw eggs". Be creative and add fruit, hot chocolate powder mix, chopped nuts or peanut butter cups, etc.

Dear Editor: As the BellePlaine Food Shelf starts to settle into its new location, it is time to give an update and let everyone know we appreciate the help. It was one year ago, on July 9 that we opened the Belle Plaine Food Shelf downtown. We have now purchased a building that once was the home of Belle Video down on Meridian Street. In the past year, we have served 281 Belle Plaine families. We are very proud of this. We certainly could not have done it without the generosity of all the Belle Plaine residents. With your willingness to donate cash, time, and food, we hope to continue to be successful.

We certainly appreciate some very special people who donated time and effort for our new location. Paul and Peggy Romleski from “Buckets of Color Painting� walked in off the street and volunteered to do all the painting that was needed inside the building. They did an incredible job. LeRoy and Connie Chard saw to it that we have a beautiful cement sidewalk leading up to our new delivery entrance.

This will make a big difference on how we serve our clients.

Going forward, I have a couple of requests. BBQ Days are fast approaching. If you plan on coming to the parade, please bring a food or cash donation with you. We will have a float with Boy Scouts picking up donations along the way. We are also looking for schools supplies. Whether it is a pencil, notebook, backpack or calculator, we are hoping to collect these items so that our clients are well prepared to go back to school in the fall. Feel free to drop these things off at the Food Shelf.

The Food Shelf is open on Wednesdays from 5-7 p.m., although it is closed on July 4th.

We are also open on Saturdays from 9-12. I invite all of you to stop by our new location.

Again, we appreciate all of your continued support for the Belle Plaine Food Shelf.

(continued from page 17) Tigers 17, Henderson 0 Baseball seems to be a funny game at times and teams can look like night and day from game to game. If you went to Le Sueur to watch the Tigers on Friday night, you may not have believed what you saw the next day when they traveled to Henderson. Friday night the Tigers were 10-runned by Le Sueur, and Saturday afternoon the Tigers 10-runned the Henderson Tigers.

The Tiger bats and pitching were on fire in the scorching heat on Saturday afternoon.

Tiger pitcher Ryan Diers threw a complete game, two-hit shutout, while striking out a seasonhigh 14 batters. Diers was on the top of his game in the heat and the Henderson batters were unable to figure him out.

Diers was also hot at the plate, hitting a mammoth home run that still may not have come down.

The Tigers batted around in the fifth inning and every player in the lineup scored. Leadoff hitter Travis Latzke continued his hot hitting, going 3-for-6.

Pat Schultz and Matt Schultz also logged three hits on the afternoon.

Chanhassen 5, Tigers 4 The Tigers dropped a close one to the Redbirds at home on Sunday night, leaving the bases loaded to end the game.

Errors again hurt the Tigers as they gave up two unearned runs, which ended up being crucial, with the final score being 5-4.

Zac Dahlke started on the hill for the Tigers and threw the first five-plus innings before giving way to Shawn Larson. Dahlke was credited with the loss and gave up all the runs to the Redbirds.

The Tiger offense was once again quiet, with only one player having a multiple-hit night.

That Tiger was catcher Pat Schultz, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI.

FISH Hoping Belle Plaine is Willing to Help Those in Need Having established itself in Scott County’s largest cities, an organization is aiming to organize community support to help people try to avoid becoming another welfare recipient.

FISH – Families and Individuals Sharing Hope – was created last year as a clearinghouse where people with attainable needs can get help. An organizational meeting in Belle Plaine is set for July 11, 8:30 a.m., at Emma Krumbee’s General Store.

Beth Loechler, FISH’s executive director, said the meeting is the first step in expanding FISH’s services outside Shakopee, Savage and Prior Lake.

The group started work there last year to serve the greatest concentration of people in need. Now, she said, the focus is turning to the south.

“We serve all of Scott County and we want to help reinforce that,” she said.

The idea of FISH is to connect people with needs to groups that are able to help.

Examples include elderly who live at home but can’t handle housework or lawn and garden chores, Loechler said. Linking residents to people in need could prolong a resident’s time at home and delaying potential reliance in subsidized housing.

In Prior Lake, FISH connected two young adults receive bicycles so they can get to their jobs and earn money that will help stabilize their unmet transportation needs. A business owner in Shakopee donated the money a cosmetologist needed to renew her license and go back to work.

“We want to help people beAdvertise your Business Here! 952.873.2261

she said.

The community has some assistance already in place. Pastor Mark Johnson of St. John Lutheran manages the Good Samaritan fund that churches contribute to and there are plenty of people needing assistance with rent, gas and food.

Loechler said FISH has enjoyed success by working with churches and service organizations – Rotary and Lions clubs.

She’s hoping representatives of those clubs will attend Wednesday’s meeting. Many of those clubs were created to serve the Beth Loechler community. fore they become real comfort- “It really is a win-win situaable with the county system,” tion,” she said.

BPEA and school board. Smith said the difference between paying Mereness and Ploetz as teachers and paying them as para-professionals is about $26,000.

“We don’t have that budgeted,” he said.

Not wanting to pay licensed teachers an additional $26,000 for jobs the district says paraprofessionals can do well, the board agreed to eliminate the positions.

Discussions on the two media center/technology positions began in the fall, during contract negotiations between the Belle Plaine Education Association (BPEA), the union representing the district’s 100-plus teachers, and school board.

In March, the union asked the Minnesota Bureau of Mediation Services for “clarification” on whether the two should be working and paid as licensed

teachers or para-professionals. Both the BPEA and school board are waiting a response from the bureau.

Smith told Mereness and Ploetz at the end of the school year their positions would be eliminated and their employment terminated. He said the BPEA has been copied on all correspondence involving the two positions and anticipated school board action.

Saturday morning, the board terminated the pair’s employment as if they were licensed teachers as “a precautionary action non-renewing them as probationary teachers in case it is ruled they have been teachers this past year,” Smith said.

When the district sought to reduce spending last summer, it reassigned Becky Perkins, a licensed teacher from the two elementary media centers, and assigned her to teach language arts classes in the junior high.

The BPEA says the two paraprofessionals are teachers. The district disagrees, claiming most of its approximately 45 para-professionals help students learn. Smith said he’d be open to rewriting the job description in a way that leaves no doubt the job can be handled by non-licensed teachers.

“These positions are positions that should be held by teachers as they are doing what teachers do, teach and work with kids,”

said BPEA President Jerold Stauffacher. “If Kelly really wants better test scores, then the school needs to come up with $26,000 and make sure we have staff that are licensed and will help the kids.”

Smith said replacing para-professionals who work with kids with licensed teachers would approximately double what the district pays for the para-professionals.

“They aren’t reading teachers,” he said. “We have many people who help children learn.”

Neither Mereness or Ploetz could be reached for comment.

Shakopee Youth Drowns in Lake Jason Daquon Lewis, 17, of Shakopee, died early Saturday morning after he was pulled from O’Dowd Lake in Shakopee about 12 hours earlier.

Lewis, who spent about 30 minutes underwater, had reportedly been rafting and swimming with friends when he went under at about 1:50 p.m. Friday.

He was found in about 8 feet of water.

Lewis was pronounced dead 2:30 a.m. Saturday at Hennepin County Medical Center.

Authorities say the weedy lake bottom may have been a contributing factor in the incident.

tion proposals.

In the council’s packet Monday night was a letter from Belle Plaine Township Chair Gary Schmitz explaining the township’s proposal further and why it would be beneficial to both the city and township.

“In a sincere effort to find an acceptable proposal to address the problems on Belle Plaine Trail, I have asked the town board to reach out to you one last time.

“We would like the city to understand our rationale and desire to have the city formally accept ownership of our portions of Belle Plaine Trail. We recognize many uncertainties to future maintenance costs and responsibilities. If there is a dual ownership of the road, ongoing discussions would be necessary as to what levels of maintenance are necessary (amount of winter salting, timing of crack sealing and seal coating for example) and the division of costs. These are problems we cannot get together on – do you really want to dump these problems on the city council or town board members who follow us? These

problems will only be harder to solve in the future.

“For the town board, it would be difficult to explain to the residents why the township is expending 50 percent of its road and bridge budget to pave a road that only serves four residents. The board feels that we could only justify this proposed expenditure if the road is turned over to the city after it is improved. In this way, the township would not incur any future maintenance costs . . .

“We do understand and respect your position on taking over the road. That being said, we have come back one last time to search out an acceptable agreement for both the township and the city. During our discussions regarding Belle Plaine Trail, it was discussed that the city is not equipped to maintain gravel roads. However, the city presently solely owns and is responsible for maintenance of 590 feet of gravel road on Kittson Boulevard. Additionally, the township and city jointly own and are responsible for 1,576 feet of Kittson Boulevard and 2,480 feet of Jason Avenue, also gravel roads . . .

“To date, all gravel, grad-

A User’s Guide to County Financial Statements The following definitions will help citizens understand the terminology that is used in the county’s financial statement.

Basic Financial Statements Scott County’s basic financial statements consists of three parts: government-wide financial statements, fund financial statements, and notes to the financial statements. The management’s discussion and analysis and certain budgetary comparison schedules1 are required to accompany the basic financial statements and, therefore, are included as required supplementary information.

Government-wide financial statements display information about the county’s financial reporting entity as a whole, except for its fiduciary activities. These statements should present separate information for the governmental and business-type activities of the county (primary government), as well as for its component units.

Fund financial statements display separate financial information for the county’s governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds. Information for governmental and enterprise proprietary funds is presented separately for major funds and the aggregate total for non major funds. Internal services and fiduciary fund information is presented in aggregate by fund type.

Notes to the financial statements provides additional information and disclosure for information in the financial statements.

Governmental activities are generally activities of the county financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange revenues. These activities are usually reported in governmental funds and internal service funds.

Business-type activities are county activities financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties for goods or service. These activities are usually reported in enterprise funds.

Financial reporting entity consists of the primary government (county), organizations for which the county is financially accountable, and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the county are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The nucleus of a county’s financial reporting entity is the primary government, the county.

Primary government is a term used in connection with defining the financial reporting entity. The primary government is the focus of the financial reporting entity. For the county, the primary government represents the financial activities, funds, or accounts directly under the control of the county board.

Component unit describes a legally separate organization for which the county board is financially accountable. In addition, component units can be other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the county are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.

County Governmental Fund Types The General Fund is the general operating fund of the county. It is used to account for all financial resources, except those that are required to be accounted for in another fund.

Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted for specified purposes.

Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of principal, interest, and related costs of general long-term debt.

Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.

County Proprietary Funds Internal Service Funds are used to report any activity that provides goods or services to other funds, departments, or agencies of the primary government and its component units, or to other governments, on a cost reimbursement basis.

County Fiduciary Funds Investment Trust Funds are used to report governmental external investment pools that are maintained by the county for other entities.

Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the county as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governments, and/or other funds; fur example, taxes collected and held by a county for a school district.

Character Classification of County Expenditures The county’s governmental expenditures are classified by character or the periods expenditures are presumed to benefit. The county has the following character classifications: Current operating expenditures are presumed to benefit the current fiscal period.

Debt services are presumed to benefit prior fiscal periods as well as current and future periods and includes amount expended for the payment of principal, interest, and other costs associated with debt.

Capital outlays are presumed to benefit current and future fiscal periods and include amounts expended for the construction or acquisition of county capital assets.

Intergovernmental represent resources transferred by to the county to other governments.

Classification of County Functions Functions are a group of related activities aimed at accomplishing a major service or regulatory program for which the county is responsible. The county has the following function classifications: The General Government function include expenditures for general county activities such as the county commissioners, county administration, county attorney’s office, county finance office, the planning and zoning office, and other county general service office.

Storm Cleanup Update

by John Mueller Heavy rains the past few weeks left Cologne’s streets and storm water runoff culverts soggy require some cleanup. Monday, the city council approved spending just under $10,000 on one cleanup project.

The runoff left a 133-foot metal storm water culvert along Louis Street a muddy mess. A portion of it is nearing collapse because of the mass of water and runoff that flowed into it during the recent heavy rains this spring.

Cologne received two quotes to repair the culvert. Henning Excavation of Hamburg will do the job for $9,145. Wickenhauser Excavating of Cologne will charge $9,368.

Monday, the city council unanimously approved allowing City Administrator John Douville to select one of the two companies to perform the job after a side-by-side comparison of the two quotes.

Although the city has used Henning Excavating over the years, Douville said he would also consider using the local company if Wickenhauser’s bid is a favorable value for Cologne.

Douville Disciplined

Cologne City Administrator John Douville was recently placed on unpaid administrative leave for what Mayor Bernie Shambour categorized as “a personnel issue.”

Douville was off the job May 17-June 3 and June 12-25.

Citing the state data practices act, Shambour has rejected requests for clarity and additional information on the issue. He said the city would respond in what it deemed a “reasonable” period of time.

Douville declined comment on the issue. He has been Cologne’s city administrator since 2004.

In other action at the July 2 meeting, the Cologne City Council: n Paid bills totaling $278,004.02. n Approved a cooperative purchasing agreement with the state, allowing the city better prices on items it can purchase via state bids. n Renewed a contract with Countryside Veterinary Clinic of Norwood Young America for care of impounded and stray animals. n Approved the hiring of election judges. They will be paid $9 per hour.

bids for repairs to Conrad Street, work the city had hoped to see completed this summer.

But the bids to repair a storm water inlet at Conrad Avenue and Louis Street and repair damaged street came in around $40,000 – about $5,000 over the engineer’s estimate. Douville said the timing of the bids and also the fact that contractors are busier this time of year contributed to the higher bids.

The city will take a second look at the project again this fall.

Improvements to the inlet at Conrad Avenue are among the street and water main projects the city is facing. The council was recently informed Cologne has several areas needing work in the older sections of the city.

The city’s newest streets were installed in the 1970s and its water mains date back as far as the 1930s.

The city’s contract engineer estimates the projects done en mass will create a price tag topping $6 million. The council will have to decide if doing all at once will ultimately cost more than implementing repairs in sections.

The city is also facing a looming upgrade to its wastewater treatment plant that could cost upwards of $10 million to meet new EPA standards by 2022.

Karol Emmerich spends a lot of time enjoying and tending to her daylilies in her spacious greenhouse at Springwood Gardens.

‘Painting the World With Flowers’ From a Hilltop in St. Lawrence

by Dan Ruud There’s a hilltop in St. Lawrence Township that is so exposed to the elements that oftentimes the winter wind is so strong and swirling that it leaves behind bare earth next to drifts of snow. But in the spring the hill comes to life with colorful waves of daylilies.

Springwood Gardens, which is located next to the St. Lawrence Township Hall overlooking the Minnesota River Valley, has been the country home of Karol, Dick and Jim Emmerich for the past decade. It’s the base camp of Karol’s passion “to paint the world with flowers.”

Karol worked a number of years for Dayton Hudson Corporation (now Target Corporation) out of downtown Minneapolis, where she headed the finance department. As the years went by, Karol’s passion to retire from the “black and white world of a desk” and start digging in the earth grew stronger.

“The crazier the corporate world got the more I wanted to be in my garden. We even bought the property next door to our home (in Edina) so I could expand the garden,” Karol said.

This passion has grown in recent years to include creating new varieties of daylilies through a process called hybridizing. Karol said she currently has 115-named varieties of daylilies.

“A friend of mine who was breeding daylilies up near Monticello introduced me to this,” said Karol, who has lived in Edina for the past 40 years but has spent considerable time at Springwood Gardens since the early 2000s. She said it will soon become the family’s permanent, year-round home.

As for explaining how to breed numerous varieties of daylilies

without getting overly technical, Karol said the process is the same for most other living things.”

“You just take the male part, which in this case is pollen, and find another flower you like and put the pollen on the female part,” said Karol, while pointing to examples of those parts on a couple of flowers she was holding. It then takes about 45 days for the seed-filled pods to form on the plant.

Karol said only a very small percentage (less than 1 percent) of those seeds blossom into flowers that pass her strict guidelines for a newly-named plant. When she’s been fortunate enough to create one, Karol said much of the fun for her is coming up with the name.

“I’ve named a lot of them for people I know who were experiencing either pain or joy in their lives,” said Karol.

One of those names is “Fear Not,” after one of Karol’s friends who was battling cancer. Another is “Be Fruitful and Multiply,” which is for a friend who had a baby. Another, “No More Tears” (as in no more tears in Heaven) was named for a friend whose husband had recently died.

“But if you want to think of no more tears as a baby shampoo, that’s fine too,” Karol said jokingly. “Naming the flowers is a way for me to share my faith in a low-key and sometimes amusing way.”

Karol stresses that she is retired from the “working to make a living world” and that her business at Springwood Gardens earns her very little (if any) income. She said much of the money received goes to paying several employees who assist her with the operation, including landscaping, etc.

Karol’s husband, Dick, runs a large farming operation in

South Dakota, which he commutes back and forth to. When he returns to South Dakota, he often has a truck trailer full of plants from Springwood Gardens destined for distribution in that state.

With the help of a 6,000square-foot greenhouse, Karol is able to grow about 5,000 new seedlings each year. She sells many of her plants via mail order through http://springwoodgardens.com/welcome. html. There are no on-site sales.

Many of the buyers are flowerbreeding hobbyists like herself.

Karol also gives away thousands of plants to places and purposes ranging from the Scott County Fairgrounds to churches to city beautification projects.

The Lutheran Home Association campus has also been the recipient of Karol’s colorful perennials in recent years. Many residents there have also had the opportunity to tour Springwood Gardens, the grounds of which also feature a number of statues and structures surrounded by extensive landscaping.

“They (The Lutheran Home staff) love their residents. The staff is so nice to them and they all really enjoy the tours,” Karol said.

Within the Springwood Gardens campus is Oak Manor, which was built in 1862 by a California railroad baron. The stone-walled house, which was recently renovated, serves as the living quarters at Springwood Gardens.

But it’s the greenhouse and gardens where Karol spends much of her waking hours while at Springwood, hoping to create her next named flower.

“It’s like art. You’re trying to create beautiful things that people will like – and you’re blessed if you do,” Karol said.

“Artists are always trying to create things that nobody has ever seen before.”

Flowers, architecture, immense landscaping and a view of the Minnesota River Valley are not the only things to see at Springwood Gardens. Mother Nature also provides some viewing pleasure at times.

“I love watching the weather go by,” said Karol, referring to the morning fog in the river valley to the afternoon and evening This 6,000-square-foot greenhouse helps bring to life thou- storm systems moving across sands of seedlings each year at Springwood Gardens. the sky.

Those wind-swept, sub-zero days in winter aren’t nearly as pleasurable, but then there’s always spring.

State Qualifiers The Belle Plaine girls’ 10-U fastpitch softball team participated in the state qualifier tournament in Richfield this past weekend. They endured the sweltering heat on Saturday, winning all four of its games and advancing to the championship game on Sunday. They beat Shakopee 9-1 in the championship game. Belle Plaine will play in the state tournament during Bar-B-Q Days. Pictured in the back row, from left, are coach Dave Brueggemeier, Jessica Brueggemeier, Lizzie Hilgers, Lauren Johnson, Hannah Witt, Sara Lenz, McKenna Vacek and coach Nikki Vacek. In the front row are Lily Olson, Rebecca Brueggemeier, Alaina Buesgens, Jensen Ladd, CeCe Giesen and Maddy Fors.

Town Team Baseball

Tigers Lose Three of Four Games

by Brad Lawson Team Tigertown had another week of ups and downs. Belle Plaine finished the week 1-3 with losses to Shakopee, Le Sueur and Chanhassen, and a lone win against Henderson.

The Tigers did not have the best month of June either, posting a 5-4 record.

This coming week is full of promotions and excitement at Tiger Park. Friday night will be RTL Construction night as the Tigers take on Waterville.

Every paid attendance will receive a free hot dog, chips and pop courtesy of RTL Construction and Tiger Shawn Larson.

Sunday will be Senior Citizens Night as all seniors will receive free admission. It will also be a great time as Ernie Stumpf will be playing music between innings.

A couple of dates to mark down on your calendars for upcoming promotions are Community Rec Night on Tuesday, July 17 and Fan Appreciation Night on Friday, July 20.

Don’t forget to come out and cheer on Tiger all-stars Travis Latzke and Brad Lawson this Thursday evening in Chaska.

The River Valley League will take on the Dakota-Rice-Scott League on Thursday at 7 p.m.

There will also be a home run derby starting at 6:30 p.m. The RVL has won the last three games and looks to continue its winning streak, so come out and support your Tigers and other RVL all-stars.

Remember to check out www. bptigertown.com, for the latest updates and stats. Also check out the Tigers on Facebook and Twitter for the latest posts and tweets.

Shakopee 3, Tigers 1 It is not very often that a team can out-hit their opponent and not give up an earned run, yet still lose the game. Well, the Tigers found a way to do that against the Shakopee Indians.

Team Tigertown outhit the Indians 8-5 but committed five errors, which led to all three of Shakopee’s runs being un-

earned.

Zac Dahlke started on the bump for the Tigers and threw five solid innings, giving up three runs on three hits, a walk and three hit batters. Jake Scherer threw shutout ball over the final three innings.

The Tiger bats were very hot without runners on base, but seemed to be ice cold with runners on and in scoring position.

The Tigers left 10 runners on base, including two occasions when they left the bases loaded to end the inning.

Travis Latzke and Pat Schultz led the way for BP, each logging two hits apiece. Rookie Andy Lehman was the only Tiger to drive in a run on the night when he knocked in Schultz on a base hit in the eighth.

Le Sueur 10, Tigers 0 There were not a whole lot of positives to take away from this game played in Le Sueur on Friday night. The Tigers only managed to get four hits and committed three errors, which led to five unearned runs in one inning.

Tiger starter Brad Lawson was looking to get his fifth win of the season but gave up three runs in the first inning on four hits. Lawson threw the first four innings, giving up eight runs – three of which were earned – on eight hits, while striking out five. Lawson handed the ball

off to Dan Huber in the fifth, and Huber threw the final twoplus innings in relief before the 10-run rule kicked into effect.

One of the few positives in the game was Tiger slugger Ryan Diers. He was able to log two doubles on the night, but was unable to get around to score.

Travis Latzke and Johnny Egan were the other two Tigers to get base hits on the night.

Town Tigers (continued on page 6)

Girls’ Fall Softball League Forming Don’t stop playing fastpitch softball when summer ends.

Play Fall Ball and let the fun continue.

The Belle Plaine Fastpitch Association sponsors this shortened season of fastpitch softball for girls between the ages of 8 and 16. Doubleheader games will be played on the following Sundays – Aug. 26, Sept. 9 and 16. There will be a state qualifier tournament on Sept. 22 and 23, with a state tournament being held on Sept. 29-30.

Due to the “short season” the

association will need to have a commitment from players who will be able to play every Sunday for league play and weekends for tournaments.

The cost is approximately $75 (may be less depending on number of girls) and there will be one practice per week.

You can submit a 2012 Fall Ball interest form online at www.leaguelineup.com/bpfa if your daughter is interested in playing. This is not a commitment, but rather an idea of how many girls are interested.

Beating the Heat With the temperature once again soaring toward 100 degrees Tuesday, the Belle Plaine Community Swimming Pool was a popular destination for anyone looking to beat the heat. Temps are expected to dip, a bit, later this week with highs in the upper-80s.

Foreclosures (continued from page 1) homes by working with them to refinance mortgages and attain loan modifications will do more to ensure economic and community health than simply letting homes lie vacant and forcing community members out of their neighborhoods.

Scott County Foreclosures Since 2007, according to the Scott County Sheriff’s Department 2007 607 2008 961 2009 814 2010 940 2011 717 2012 so far 320

According to Minnesota 2020, foreclosures do not just affect individual households – they have serious ramifications for neighborhoods, schools, local governments and businesses across communities. If we hope to recover from the housing crisis as a nation and a state, we must think about and work on this issue collectively.

Jeremiah Kornder gets a kick out of tandem bicycles. He’s renting them from his house on South Meridian and West Prairie streets.

B.P. Man Offering Break from Routine on Bicycle Built for Two

by John Mueller He recalls the odd looks he’ and a friend would get as they peddled their way around the University of Minnesota’s campus several years ago. Jeremiah Kornder enjoyed the idea of people taking note of the rare sight of a tandem bike being peddled through a crowded area.

That novelty spurred a hobby and an enterprise.

At the corner of South Meridian and West Prairie streets, Kornder is renting out old-school tandem bikes from his home.

He’s hoping people looking to have a little fun breaking the monotony of their routines will stop by. The 24-year-old doesn’t expect it will ever make him a ton of money, although he would like to eventually cover the cost of acquiring the

TRUSTED TRUSTED

tandem bikes.

He’s offering them at $10 for three hours. “I haven’t found the exact price point,� he said. “I don’t think I’m asking too much.�

Kornder owns four of the tandem bicycles. They date back to the late-1960s and ‘70s, he said. He acquired them on Craig’s List, buying three Schwinns and a Huffy for $150 to $250 apiece They all came needing a little work, tune-ups and adjustments to, brakes, bearings and wheels.

The blue Schwinn even comes with handlebar streamers he bought at Target Field.

He’ll be riding one of his tandem bikes in the Bar-B-Q Days Parade July 14. “It’ll be a lot of fun,� he said.

The bikes take Kornder back

to his days on the U campus, when he and a high school classmate, Brett Traxler, used to ride around. They split the cost of the bike, each chipping in $35. “We rode around campus a lot. We had people asking for rides,� Kornder said.

Last summer, while studying and working in Berlin and Munich, Germany, Kornder noted tandem bicycles were common, far more so than in the United States. He’s doing no advertising, only using a hand-painted sign on the boulevard when he’s not at work at Cambria to catch people’s attention. Kornder hopes people in Belle Plaine will consider renting one, if only for the experience and fun. “They kind of lift your spirits,� he said.
