Annual Event at Elementary School B.P. Residents Give Thanks for Health, Family & Friends Headlines Local Holiday Activities Lois Lehman knows what it feels like when the doctor told her she had lung cancer.

The memory of watching their house destroyed by a fire is still fresh in Cayla and David Menke’s collective memory.

And yet, tomorrow (Thanksgiving Day), Lehman and her husband Bill and the Menkes, surrounded by their families, will give thanks for all they have – good health, family and good friends. They wouldn’t have it any other way.

They know there are many out there who have faced worse circumstances.

Early in 2008, Lehman’s health began to fail her. Doctors speculated she might have French polio. Then it was neuropathy, a disorder of the nervous system. By the summer, she was finally diagnosed with cancer in her lungs.

“It went on and on and on.

They tried everything,” Lehman said. “If you’ve done everything for 50 years and all of a sudden you can’t do anything, that’s not easy.”

Five years ago, Lehman completed a series of chemotherapy and radiation treatments that fought off lung cancer. Weak and out of sorts from the fight, she spent several months at The Lutheran Home during the treatments and for a time rehabilitating and regaining her strength.

“All I could do was lay in bed,” she said.

The treatments left her without the strength to do almost any of the things she loved. Today, she enjoys time in cooking delicious meals in the kitchen of the townhouse on North Linden Street she and Bill moved into earlier this fall. It suits her well. The single level layout is far user-friendlier than the multi-level house on North Elm Street where she and Bill raised their family since 1959.

A smoker for six decades, Lois had her last cigarette three years ago. She’s thankful to

Tree Lighting Ceremony Off Again This Year

Lois Lehman and her husband, Bill, are thankful for improved health this year. Five years ago, she was diagnosed with lung cancer.

The Belle Plaine Community Tree Lighting Ceremony that for many years kicked off the holiday season in Belle Plaine will not be held for a second year in a row.

The event, which was replaced by turning on the lights of a business lighting contest last year, may not be back anytime soon. According to Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce President Karl Kolden, there are not enough funds available for the “high costs” of illuminating the park for a month.

“Everyone loved it (the downtown tree lighting) and we did too, but we can’t afford to do it anymore,” Kolden said.

The event, up until 2011, was normally held on a Thursday evening about one month before Christmas and featured children’s visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus, horse-drawn wagon rides, caroling, drawings for turkeys, free cookies and hot apple cider.

Although Kolden said the chamber encourages businesses to light up this holiday season, there will be no formal contest like last year. In fact, the only holiday activity the chamber (Belle Plaine Festivals and Events) will have a role in this year is the annual Holiday Express that will take place on Saturday, Dec. 7 at Belle Plaine High School, which is a change from past years when it

was held at Chatfield Elementary School. The reason for the change is that the event has grown so much in recent years that more space is needed, which the high school’s spacious south gym and commons area can provide.

Holiday Express is also sponsored by Belle Plaine Early Childhood Family Education and PTO. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there to visit with kids, so bring your camera. There will also be crafts and more.

At Santa’s Store, children can holiday shop for their family and friends. Gifts will be available for purchase (up to $5).

Featured will be merchandise from local businesses. Santa’s helpers will assist younger shoppers while parents wait in the hallway.

Holiday Express attendees can donate an unwrapped gift or cash donation to Southern Valley Alliance for a child or mother.

Volunteers are being sought to help set up, clean up or assist during the event. If you would

like to volunteer, contact Sheri at sprokosch@belleplaine.k12. mn.us or 952-873-2415, ext. 5.

A Big Thanksgiving Donation

Workers, to make the property more marketable, removed the underground fuel storage tanks from the former BP Station property south of Highway 169 in Belle Plaine.

Former BP Station Property Getting Cleaned Up The former BP gas station property along Highway 169 in Belle Plaine (521 East South Street) has been getting cleaned up this past week in order to address concerns by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and to make the site more marketable. Included in the project was the removal of the large underground fuel storage tanks.

The station, which for many years also operated under Skluzacek Oil Company and decades ago as Southtown Shell, went out of business in 2010 shortly after a couple of major highway crossings in Belle

Plaine closed.

This past June, the Belle Plaine City Council passed on an offer to acquire the tax-forfeited property but declined to do so for several reasons, including: – The city would have had to pay all outstanding taxes.

– The property could only be used for public purposes.

– If the property was conveyed to a private owner, the city would be required to pay the county and state the full market value of the property at the time of the transfer.

– The city would have become responsible for any contamination removal/mitigation regarding the property.

According to Scott County Au-

ditor/Treasurer Cynthia Geis, the MPCA noted that some leakage was occurring with the underground tanks, and thus the property was tagged, necessitating the need to remove the tanks. She added that the site will no longer be used as a gas station in the future. The property is owned by the state but administered by the county.

Geis added that when the clean up is complete, the county will appraise the property and put it up for sale. The removal of the underground fuel tanks, said Geis, will make the property more marketable.

Anyone with an interest in the status and availability of the property can contact Scott County Taxation Supervisor Kris Lage at 952-496-8115.

Volunteers for the Belle Plaine Food Shelf were busy Friday receiving a donation of 100 Thanksgiving meals courtesy of Fairmont Minerals of Shakopee. Each meal included a 1416-pound fresh frozen turkey, stuffing mix, boxed potatoes, yams, canned corn, green beans, cranberries, pumpkin or apple pie, dinner rolls and Cool Whip. The average total cost per meal was $37.46. Fairmont Minerals purchased the food from Radermacher’s Market of Jordan, which packaged each individual meal and trucked it to the Belle Plaine Food Shelf. Pat Ollhoff of the food shelf said as of the noon hour Friday, most of the meals were already reserved and expected to rest to be given away by Saturday. As of Friday, Ollhoff said the Belle Plaine Food Shelf shelves were the most stocked they have ever been, thanks also to the recent donation from Belle Plaine High School’s annual food drive. More food was expected in time for Thanksgiving from Our Lady of the Prairie Catholic Church School. Ollhoff said that despite being open only five hours a week, the Belle Plaine Food Shelf gives away an average of a ton (2,000 pounds) of food weekly. “We couldn’t do this without the support of the community in the donations of both food and money,” Ollhoff said. Pictured, from left, are Belle Plaine Food Shelf volunteers Walt Lehtinen, Mike Kroeger, Joe Fahey, Josh Selbrade, Pat Ollhoff, Diane Rohde, Steve Rohde, Julie Kroeger, Sean Hunter and Bruce Panning.

Scott County Board Gives 2014 Salary Hikes Preliminary OK County Board, Sheriff, Attorney Could See 4-6% Raises in 2014

Scott County’s elected commissioners, attorney and sheriff might receive salary hikes in 2014 if a tentative agreement holds up.

Tuesday at the board’s annual planning workshop Nov. 19, commissioners reached unanimous consensus on a 4 percent raise in 2014 for themselves, a 5 percent raise for County Attorney Pat Ciliberto and a 6 percent raise for Sheriff Kevin Studnicka. Commissioners all vowed not to change their positions between the off-camera workshop and the approval set for a meeting next month, said

Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township. The issue will be placed on an upcoming meeting’s consent agenda, a series of issues intended for en masse approval without public discussion, he said.

Two years ago, the board approved a raise for Ciliberto and Studnicka and then backtracked

Belle Plaine Boy Scouts, their leaders and local Rotary Club members braved the season’s coldest temperatures to date Saturday morning to set up the community’s Nativity Scene on the police department lawn on the corner of East Main and North Elm streets. This is the 62nd holiday season that the scene, which was made locally, has been put on display. Temperatures, accompanied by a brisk wind, were in the single digits most of Saturday morning before peaking in the mid-teens later in the day.

What to Do With Low Bidder That No Longer Wants the Job?

Contractor Asked Scott County to Set Aside Bid For Blakeley Road

The Scott County Board accepted a St. Paul contractor’s bid to stabilize a ravine so it won’t damage a county road in Blakeley Township. Problem is, Cobalt Contracting no longer wants the job.

Last Tuesday (Nov. 19), the county board unanimously accepted a bid from Cobalt Contracting to stabilize ravines on both sides of County Road 60 (Blakeley Trail) to prevent sediments from washing down onto the road below.

Cobalt Contracting is one of seven firms that bid on the job.

Its bid of $971,088.50 is almost $343,000 less than the second lowest bid submitted by S.M. Hentges & Sons of Jordan. The highest bid was $1,690,259 on a job the county estimated would cost as much as $1.1 million to construct.

But between the time the bids were opened Oct. 29 and awarded last Tuesday, Cobalt asked the county in a letter the county received Nov. 18 not to formally approve the company’s bid. Cobalt Contracting cited the later start date creating additional costs, said Paul Nelson, the Scott County Water Management Organization’s administrator.

Nelson told commissioners the county should award the bid because the bid specifications indicated the bids had to be good for 30 days. There was also no time frame for when the job had to be started or completed in bid documents, Nelson said.

Cobalt Contracting’s project manager also said the company would have no problem honoring its bid or completing the job, Nelson told the board.

$1.1 million for the project’s overall budget. The WMO is adding $300,000 to the project with another $381,000 coming from a state clean water grant.

If it weren’t for the threat to the roadway, Nelson said the county wouldn’t be pushing for the stabilization project.

If Cobalt declines to sign a contract for the project, Nelson told commissioners the matter would be referred to the Scott County Attorney’s Office. That way, he said, the county and company can work out a solution to the issue.

Susan McNellis, the head of the county attorney’s office civil division, said Cobalt Contracting is “legally bound� to sign a contract for a project it bid on. “The county, like any other entity, may enforce a bid submitted according to the offered terms,� she said.

The job the county wants Cobalt Contracting to complete involves slowing the flow of sediments down ravines onto a county road below in Blakeley Township. The project consists of construction of a dry pond, site grading, slope stabilization, HDPE piping, RCP pipe and pond outlet structures, sheet pile weirs, geocells and erosion controls. The county says the ravines on either side of County Road 60 as it nears Blakeley will be stabilized, slowing erosion, reducing sediment deposition downstream and protecting the usability of County Road 60.

Because the project potentially impacts a county road, Scott County’s 2013 and draft 2014 highway budgets are allocating $400,000 of the approximately

Although he voted in favor of accepting Cobalt Contracting’s bid, Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek, the board’s vice chairman, said the county and its WMO should think twice

Sen. Dahle Receives Award State Sen. Kevin Dahle (DFL-Northfield) recently received the Distinguished Service Award from the Minnesota Rural Education Association (MREA) at its annual conference in Brainerd. The MREA awarded Dahle, who represents Belle Plaine, for his work “to ensure that all Minnesota students have sufficient knowledge and skills in core academic subjects to graduate from high school and succeed in a career or college.” The legislation passed by Dahle implements a new assessment system that includes a college placement diagnostic exam, nationally-normed college entrance exam, and longterm measurements of student college- and career-readiness.

“The minimum standards in place simply were not working for our students,” Dahle said. “We have been talking about updating this system for years. Thankfully, we were able to put something else into place this session. Once it is in place, we will monitor its progress and make changes as needed.”

Dahle can be reached by phone at 651-296-1279 or by e-mail at rep.kevin.dahle@senate.mn.

Noteables Concert Dec. 1 The Noteables are presenting an after-Thanksgiving concert on Sunday, Dec. 1 at 4 p.m.

“People like bringing family and friends to our show as a way to round out their Thanksgiving weekend,” says coordinator Phyllis Fleischauer, “and we’re ahead of the real holiday crunch of other concerts and the shopping.”

This year’s concert, called “Folk Fun and Christmas Cheer,” is a collection of fun folk songs from the 50s and 60s, plus a selection of familiar and new Christmas songs.

The Notables are the area’s community singing group.

Formed in 2006, they have grown from 15 members to nearly 60 and include members

from Le Sueur, Henderson, Le Center, Belle Plaine, St. Peter and Edina.

Director, Gordon Gregersen, former LS-H vocal music teacher, has been guiding and polishing the group in weekly rehearsals through the fall and hopes the audience will be pleased with the result.

“We want to showcase our singers and help everyone round out their Thanksgiving weekend,” says Gregersen.

The concert is free but donations are appreciated. The performance will take place in the Le Sueur-Henderson Middle/ High School auditorium at 901 East Ferry Street in Le Sueur.

Refreshments will be served after the concert.

I generally try to avoid mentioning Christmas related things before Thanksgiving. As I was doing some of my reading this week, I ran into an article (URL: http://www. telegram.com/article/20131117/ NEWS/311179941/1101/local) that is not a Christmas article, but reminded me of Christmas anyway. It seems that if you watch Christmas movies or look at Christmas pictures, one of the featured gift items, is often a model railroad set.

Model trains seem to hold a fascination for many people (mostly, but not exclusively, men). In many cases, the enthusiasts have nothing railroad related in their history. It apparently, is not just an American thing either. When you think about it though, kids like to watch trains and many children’s stories feature trains.

It did get me to wondering how much the Scott County Library had for model railroad information. I went to URL: http://www. scott.lib.mn.us/, clicked on “Web Catalog/Account” and had eight items come back to me when I searched for “model railroad”.

By being less specific and searching on just “railroad” I had 444 items come back to me. This last one included things (DVDs, Audio CDs and books) ranging from “Thomas the Tank Engine”, “Blazing Saddles” to a “History of Locomotives”. Obviously, one would need to sort through the list a bit to answer their immediate interest. However, whatever your interest in trains, we can probably find something for you.

One of the items that caught my eye under the “model railroad” search was a Minnesota made DVD about “The Twin City Model Railroad Museum”. In talking about it at home, my husband said that he once knew an elderly gentleman that was involved with the museum until the day he died.

His name was Ray and Ray would always get excited this time of the year, because he and his son were heavily involved in a program called “Night Trains”.

I went to one of our internet stations and looked it up. It turns out that they still run “Night Trains”, it is done at the museum in the DVD listed above. It is located in Bandana Square in St. Paul, Mn. You can find information at URL: http://www.tcmrm.org/ visit/exhibits-events/night-trains/.

If you are interested, we can help you get the DVD at the library and we can even help you look up this last link on the internet. Night Trains runs from the Saturday after Thanksgiving through the last Saturday in February. If you are interested in trains or would like to treat somebody with such an interest, stop by the library and we will help you find something that should be a lot of fun.

The Scott County Library branches will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and Friday, November 29, but open here in Belle Plaine on Saturday, November 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Please have a happy and safe Thanksgiving Day. Library Hours: Saturday: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Scott County’s Annual Property Tax Hearing next Thursday Scott County will hold its annual truth-in-taxation hearing Thursday (Dec. 5, 6 p.m.) in the county board chambers at the Scott County Government Center in Shakopee.

Historically, the hearing includes an explanation of the property tax system, the county’s 2014 levy and how taxes on various classifications of property – residential, commercial/ industrial, agricultural and vacation properties – are calculated. Property owners will have a chance to discuss valuations of their respective properties with county staff.

In September, Scott County commissioners unanimously approved a slight increase in the preliminary property tax levy for 2014.

They are eyeing a 1.06 percent increase to the net levy. The increase, if ultimately approved, means the county’s proposed preliminary levy for next year is $57,675,876.

To the owner of the house the county deems of “average” value, the declining valuation of residential property means a 1.06 percent increase will result in a $10 decrease on Scott County’s share of the residential property taxes for 2014.

The decrease is in part because residential property has yet to see big rebounds in assessed valuations. The owner of a house in Belle Plaine with a value set for tax purposes at $149,500 has seen that value drop by 4.8 percent in the past year or $46,200 since 2007.

Dear Editor, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." - B. Franklin. In my experience, the best health insurance is a biblically correct diet (Leviticus 11 & Deuteronomy 14), avoiding public water contaminated with sodium fluoride, mercury amalgam dental fillings, and following the recommendations found in "Back to Eden" by Jethro Kloss and "Unhealthy Foods, Unhealthy People" by Harold Simpson.

Under the code of the west, there are five disciplines of medicine: allopathic, psychiatric, osteopathic, homeopathic and naturopathic. I avoid allopathic and psychiatric medicine like the plague. Allopathic drugs killed my father.

Now the abomination, euphumistically called "the Affordable Care Act," seeks to institutionalize the sorcery of Big Pharma and the A.M.A., at the expense of freedom of choice.

"If you choose to deal with men by means of compulsion, do so. But you will discover that you need the voluntary

co-operation of your victims in many more ways than you can see at present." --- the fictional character Henry Rearden in Ayn Rand's Magnus Opus "Atlas Shrugged."

So, how do we defeat this obamanation? By simple, peaceable, mass civil disobedience. The 'fine' (or tax as cowardly John Roberts sees it) for non-compliance can only be assessed against income tax refunds, not in any other way.

So, if you don't have an income tax refund coming, you can't be 'fined.'

If enough angry Americans simply refuse to comply, our spineless leaders in Congress might grow enough backbone to repeal Obamacare in its' entirety, and start over with sensible health care reform.

In closing, I would like to correct my error in a previous letter. The correct title is "What Every American Needs To Know About The Qur'an," by William J. Federer. This book ought to be required reading in every American high school.

While Mr. and Mrs. Liebbrand were away from their farm on Thanksgiving morning, thieves entered and stole the turkey and other eatables, and turned the house upside-down hunting for money. Three tramps were later located in the Christian church at the east side of Belle Plaine.

Mr. Liebbrand left a guard there while he came into town for the marshal and posse. The tramps commenced firing through the church windows and scared the guard away. When the posse from town arrived, the robbers had fled.

A number from St. John’s parish went to St. Paul to attend the marriage of Miss Elenor Hogan, daughter of Mrs. Con Hogan, to Mr Neuman of that city.

Fire on the farm of John O’Leary in Faxon destroyed the barn, poultry house, granary and machine shed. It was believed the fire started from a corn shredder in operation at the side of the feed barn and a high wind took it up from there.

Father A.J. Coyle, well-loved pastor of Jessenland parish, died following an operation for appendicitis at the hospital in St. Paul. He was 69 years old and had been at Jessenland for 10 years. Funeral services and burial were held in St. Paul.

On Thanksgiving Day took place the marriage of Miss Aldina Malz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Malz, to Paul Brandt at the German Settlement church. Rose Malz and Martha Woestehoff, Henry Brandt and Martin Meierbachtol were the attendants.

A St. Paul motorist was flagged on the highway between Belle Plaine and Le Sueur by a motorist whose car appeared to be partly in the ditch. As the St. Paul man got out to give aid, a long gun was pointed at him and he was frisked of what money he had, $32.50. The stalled car then bounded down the road towards Belle Plaine. When the St. Paul man got turned around, he started in pursuit, but could merely give authorities here the description of the bandit and his car.

The holiday weekend was saddened by the accidental death of Evelyn, 7-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Shaughnessy.

At Green Isle took place the marriage of James E. Wherley of St. John’s and Miss Abbie Fuhrman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Fuhrman of Green Isle.

East Union ladies observed Thanksgiving Day with a dinner at the hall and auction of needlework articles, the sum of $241 being realized.

Mr. and Mrs. F.C. Schmidt, Blakeley, announced the marriage of their daughter, Mable Kahle, to George Tempest of St. Paul, the wedding taking place in St. Paul on Thanksgiving morning.

Letters to the Editor

Belle Plaine and the rest of southern Minnesota received a double whammy from the weatherman that extended the Thanksgiving school holiday on both sides of the scheduled vacation. The two storms that hit the area left nearly 2 feet of snow behind. These snowfalls, along with the amounts earlier in the month, broke the previous November record set in 1940. An estimated 30 inches of snow fell on Belle Plaine in November of 1983, which was five to six times above normal for the month here.

The snow was definitely on the ground for the Belle Plaine Historical Society’s holiday party that Sunday. The event featured sleigh rides and a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. Cookies were continually baked in the old stove oven with plenty of hot apple cider and coffee to go along.

Many Belle Plaine stores would begin their Christmas holiday hours on Monday, Dec. 5. The stores would remain open until 8 p.m. each weekday until Dec. 23. Santa would take up residence in his house downtown the following week.

A hearing on the landowners’ lawsuit against the Waste Management Board would be heard before the new Court of Appeals in the Twin Cities on Dec. 5. The suit was being brought

by Carver County landowners from the Gotha area who were mostly members of MnPower.

They felt they should have some say in who comes on their land to drill test holes. They also argued that they should have a contract for compensation before the drillers come on the land.

The Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team got the 1983-84 winter sports season started at the school with an easy 52-33 victory over Jordan.

Balance was the key for the Tigers as Sandi Schmidt and Laurie Wolpern both netted 14 points and Pam Farrar and Jody Schmitz adding eight apiece.

The Tigers boys’ basketball team would open the season that coming Friday at Mankato Loyola. Eight seniors and nine juniors made up a 17-member

This week, she is again fighting. It’s not a relapse of cancer but rather a case of shingles.

Bad as it is, Lehman is grateful she can laugh today, confident her oncologist was right. “The doctor told me if it’s (cancer) not back in two years, chances are it probably won’t come back,� she said. “It’s been five years. That’s an answer to a prayer, isn’t it?�

She misses the chance to attend daily Mass at Our Lady of the Prairie and donate her time as needed at church or The Lutheran Home. But she wouldn’t pass on the chance to spend a day surrounded by children, 16 grandchildren and seven greatgrandchildren, all age 5 and younger. “The little ones are so much fun,� Lehman said.

For the Menkes’, a gift from a friend just inside the front door reminds them they only lost their house on Shea Circle to a fire around 5:10 a.m. Friday, May 24.

It started in the electrical system of a child’s toy stored in the garage. Cayla, David and their daughters, Tessa and Taylor, moved back into the rebuilt house – new from the foundation to the shingles – three weeks ago. The layout is almost identical to one in the house they lost. The only tweaks include removing a wall between the kitchen and living room and a fireplace downstairs. The floor-

ing is the same, the front exterior of the house a little darker than it was before the fire. “The girls got to pick out the color of their rooms,� Cayla said.

Workers began razing the charred remnants and rebuilding the house July 1. They finished 105 days later.

The family lived with David’s parents at their house in northeast Belle Plaine. “We had the basement to ourselves,� he said.

The fire took everything. “All we’ve got are the clothes on our backs,� Cayla Menke said the morning of the fire.

Like a newly married couple that just moved into their first house, the Menkes are noticing what they lost, everyday items they no longer have.

The fire took it all – the lawnmower, snow blower, broom to sweep the garage floor, vehicles, clothes, David favorite old permanent Christmas tree, everything. “It could have been worse.

Nobody got hurt. We were all OK,� Cayla said. “We’re thankful for that.�

But friends, family and the community quickly came together. The day after the fire, donations began arriving, many from people they’ll never meet.

They can’t begin to thank the people who helped them with donations of money, gift cards, and cards expressing support.

In case they feel sorry for themselves, the Menkes think about the people in Washington, Ill. where a tornado leveled the town earlier this month. “We’re going to pay it forward,� David said. “Thanking everybody (individually) is not practical. “If somebody is in need, we’ll do what we can to help them.�

They stopped by the house each day, checking the progress and maintaining the strong connection with neighbors who immediately came to their aid the morning of the fire. Over the summer, they set up a pool in a neighbor’s back yard where the girls and neighborhood kids could play.

The fire, help they received and rebuilding has taught the Menkes an important lesson. Belle Plainer is still a small town where people take the time to help someone in need. For that, they are eternally grateful. “There’s no way I’d move to another community,� David said. He and Cayla both grew up here. “We want them (their daughters) to experience a hometown atmosphere.�

Increases in the value of farmland for rent paid dividends for the Belle Plaine School District Monday night.

The Belle Plaine School Board approved a three-year rental agreement with Robert E. Schultz, the top bidder to rent the district’s 73 acres the district owns across West Commerce Drive from Oak Crest Elementary School. Schultz, a Belle Plaine resident, was one of four bidders. His bid was $191 per acre.

The agreement with Schultz includes the district having the option to end the agreement at the end of the year with notice to the farmer. Smith promised the district will give the farmer ample notice it intends to use the land the following year.

The school district was receiving $115 per acre for 33 acres in owned across from the elementary school and adjacent to the football, track and tennis facilities. But since it purchased an additional 40 acres earlier this year, the school board decided to put the all 73 acres out for bids. “It’s been four years since we put it out for bids. We’ve seen what has happened to the market (for renting farm land), how it has changed,� said Superintendent Kelly Smith.

The district didn’t use a Realtor or land rental agent in advertising the property and marketing it for the highest bid possible. Smith relied on advice from Director Gary Steinhagen,

Foster Pet Care Needed

Volunteers are needed to provide temporary foster pet homes for puppies, cats, rabbits, kitten litters and dogs in Carver, Scott and Hennepin counties.

The Carver-Scott Humane Society is without a permanent shelter, so all abandoned pets are housed in foster care until permanent adoption occurs.

Once or twice a month the foster family comes with the pet to a public adoption day for three hours, held in Eden Prairie and Chaska. The Society provides medical care, food and litter.

Volunteers provide a safe, loving home for an average of three to six months. Once a month volunteers come with the pet to a public adoption day for three hours; usually held in Eden Prairie.

If you could help a needy pet by fostering or donating litter or unopened pet food, please call the Society at 368-3553, line 4. More information about the Society is also available at www.carverscoths.org.

a dairy farmer who is in touch with the rental market. Smith acknowledged the sandy soil isn’t exceptional farmland.

The additional money for the 73 acres doesn’t represent a financial windfall for the district.

At $191 per acre, the district will make $13,943. The extra $76 per acre on 33 acres and $191 on the new 40 acres will generate just over $10,000 in new revenue for the district’s coffers. “We’re going to pay the taxes,� Smith said. “There won’t be much left over.�

State law says the district has to pay property taxes on the land since it is being used for a non-education. The proposed 2014 property taxes on the land are approximately $11,818 -$276 less than in 2013.

by Beverly Brandt The Friends of Rush River (FORR) group met at the Henderson Events Center on Nov. 20 for the fall meeting after another fulfilled summer at Rush River Park. About 30 people were in attendance.

A tribute and a time of silence was given in honor of Larry Hiles, the group’s vice president, who died Nov. 3. A tree will be planted in his memory in the park next spring. A plant was given for his funeral by the FORR group in his memory.

Joel Lueck was elected to fill the vice president vacancy.

The secretary’s report was read and approved, noting a plus balance for the summer dance.

It was decided to have another dance next summer and ask the Rumbling River Band to play again. More lighting is needed in the area of the dance. This will be worked on and anyone with a generator is asked to help out. The tentative date for the 2014 dance is Aug. 23.

The treasurer’s report was read and showed a nice profit for the summer’s use of the park, which was $5,000-plus in monies. Dues are due once again for the coming year – $10 singles and $15 family.

Contractors for the summer of 2014 will be contacted for park maintenance. The trail to the Beinfang property was used and went well for more enjoyment of the park.

A memorial for Greg Deutsch was set up on one of the trails and some of the memorabilia that was there has been taken.

Two cutout bear silhouettes that were at Greg’s house were among the items taken.

The winter dance date has been set for March 1 with the Dakota Ramblers providing the music. Silent auction items will be set out for a fund-raiser.

Think about what you could contribute.

A thank you was given to the people who watered the trees that were planted by the river bank all summer.

The next meeting is set for Jan. 29.

Thanks to the cast, crew and directors of “A Christmas Carol� for great performances over this past weekend. We are blessed to have such talented and dedicated thespians in our school district and they reward us with outstanding theater performances several times a year. Thanks also to the audience members who donated over $420 during intermission to be used to support our Backpack food program at Oak Crest Elementary!

With the month of December just around the corner, I thought it would be good to review the procedures used when closing school for the day due to inclement weather or when delaying the start/closing early due to deteriorating conditions. As superintendent of schools, I make the final decision regarding any school cancellations, delays or early dismissals. Throughout the day or night, I review a number of weather sites for updated conditions and forecasts. After consulting with representatives of Stier Transportation, I make the decision and try to have any changes communicated to parents at least 6 a.m. in the morning for closings/delayed starts and at least 2 hours before an early closing. Safety of students on the bus, on the roads, and when arriving at home, are always given the strongest consideration.

For communicating any weather related announcements, we will use our Infinite Campus messaging system for all families and employees impacted by the decision. Please make sure that your Infinite Campus contact information is up to date so we are able to communicate effectively to you. In addition, announcements will be made on WCCO radio (AM 830), KCHK radio (AM 1350), WCCO TV, KSTP TV, KMSP TV and KARE11 TV. As Thanksgiving approaches, there are many things to be thankful for as I serve as the superintendent of the Belle Plaine Public Schools. I am thankful for a supportive community that has stood by our schools as we have worked hard to improve our facilities, the educational programs that we offer, and the tools that are available to students & staff to enhance their educational experience. Thanks to the strong support of our community, we have had stable school finances and have not endured program reductions year after year as some districts have.

I am thankful for the wonderful students who enter our buildings every day to improve themselves academically and personally. We have great students here in Belle Plaine doing great things for themselves and for others.

I am thankful for a great team of employees who are dedicated to increasing the academic capabilities of all of our students.

Whether it is the building administrator, the classroom paraprofessional, other support staff, or the classroom teacher, all have a common goal of academic excellence for our students.

I am thankful for community members who are willing to run in an election to serve the community as a member of the Belle Plaine School Board. Being a board member can be a difficult duty at times and I am fortunate to have worked with outstanding board members who have been committed to academic performance throughout my years here in Belle Plaine.

I wish for everyone to have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends this Thursday.

As always, if you have any questions about school matters, please feel free to call me at 873-2400, contact me via email at ksmith@belleplaine.k12.mn.us, via Twitter @BPTiger716 or check our website at www.belleplaine.k12.mn.us. Go Tigers!

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety is coordinating the enforcement effort. Extra DWI enforcement will continue through Dec. 28.

“Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends to come together, not a time to be torn apart by a preventable crash,” Belle Plaine Police Chief Tom Stolee said. “Make safe decisions behind the wheel to avoid a tragedy or the consequences.”

Belle Plaine Police Officers ask motorists to follow this traffic safety recipe to ensure safe Thanksgiving travel. Police are asking drivers to buckle up before and after dinner, plan for enough travel time to avoid the urge to speed, pay attention while driving since Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel periods of the year. They also urge drivers who may be drinking before hitting the road to plan for a safe and sober ride home.

During the past three years, 2010–2012, 336 people were killed in Minnesota drunk driving crashes. Each year in the state, around 30,000 people are arrested for DWI.

In the first, a Richfield man was killed in a head-on crash early Saturday morning in Shakopee.

According to the State Patrol, driver Raul Lopez-Cruztitla, 30, was killed when his 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix collided with the semi truck near the ramp at County Road 101 and Highway 169 at approximately 2:40 a.m.

He died at the scene.

The semi truck driver, a 55year-old Prior Lake man, was

killed Tuesday morning as a result of injuries he suffered in a rollover crash on Scott County Road 8 near Flag Trail in Spring Lake Township.

According to the Scott County Sheriff’s Office, the crash occurred at 4:44 a.m. Benson died at the scene.

The preliminary investigation reveals that the vehicle had left the roadway on a curved section, resulting in the vehicle overturning and ejecting Benson.

Bidder (continued from page 2) about requiring the company to perform work it doesn’t want to do.

“We really should rethink this,” said Wagner, whose district includes Belle Plaine and Blakeley Township. “Do we really want to make a company do a million-dollar job when it told

us in advance it doesn’t want to do the job? I hope we get their best work. This doesn’t exactly sound like a win-win situation.”

Representatives from Cobalt Contracting did not return calls and an e-mail requesting comment on their bid and the company’s request it be set aside.

Good Luck Dance Team!

Belle Plaine Set to Debut New Routines The Belle Plaine High School Explosion dance team is getting ready to start its 14th season.

This year’s winter competitive varsity dance team consists of 22 girls that will make up the high kick and jazz teams (21 on kick and 18 on jazz).

Fifteen of the 22 athletes are returning letterwinners. Three of them – Hannah Johnson, Lexi Stauffacher and Bryce Schmidt (honorable mention) – are returning all-conference dancers. There are a total of 58 girls in grades 7-12 that make up the junior high, junior var-

sity and varsity teams.

“Our high kick routine is ‘Under the Big Top.’ It is a highenergy routine that should make the audience feel as though they are at the circus,” said Tigers coach Kathi Stauffacher. “Our jazz routine is called ‘Stars Dance.’ It is a different style routine than we have ever done in the past. It should be a more competitive routine against our

Good Luck Basketball Players!

Tigers Have High Expectations

by Dan Ruud Record-wise, the Belle Plaine High School boys’ basketball team was about as average as a team can be in 201213. The Tigers were 7-7 in the Minnesota River Conference, 12-12 overall in the regular season and 1-1 in the postseason.

A conservative goal for this season would be to finish at least one game above .500. But with plenty of starters and regulars back from last year, including both of the team’s all-conference selections, Belle Plaine coach John Wellner’s goals are “to improve everyday, finish in the top two of the conference and go deep into the playoffs.”

Leading that quest will be twotime all-MRC selections and now seniors Gavin Dauwalter and Aaron Bigaouette.

Dauwalter, a center, averaged 12 points and 11 rebounds per game last season despite often being double-teamed in the post. He also averaged the fewest turnovers among starters per game at just one.

Bigaouette, a guard, averaged almost 10 points, four rebounds and four assists per game last year. He is the main ball handler and one the Tigers’ best outside shooters, making 35 percent of his three-point attempts a year

ago. He also led Belle Plaine in minutes played and was one of its best defenders.

The Tigers will be without their top rebounder and shot blocker from last year, 6-9 forward/center Alec Koepp, who was all-conference honorable mention. Two other starters/regulars – Jacob Meger and Jack Winders – also graduated.

But the Tigers have several players joining Bigaouette and Dauwalter with having plenty of playing experience, including senior guards Sam Karl, Ricky Fogarty and Colton Hentges, as well as senior forward Mitchell Nelson and sophomore guard Luke Narveson, the latter of whom, along with sophomore forward Mitchell Stier, are what Wellner calls “the two best shooters we have had in a long time.”

“We have lots of experience.

Bigaouette and Dauwalter are both three-year starters and have been all-conference for the past two years. Karl, Fogarty, Nelson and Hentges also saw significant time last year. We also hope to have good depth as several of our juniors played significant time on the junior varsity last year and spent the summer improving,” said Wellner, who is in his fourth year as head coach of the Tigers.

Norwood Young America, Watertown-Mayer, Sibley East, Tri-City United and Le Sueur-Henderson had a combined seven all-conference players last season, six of whom graduated.

ter are senior Cameron Lark (guard), and juniors Taylor Lenz (center), Brady Johnson (forward), Kincade Retzer (forward), Brady Lunow (forward), Joe Hankins (guard), Taylor Ponath (forward) and Devin Manion (guard).

As for practice so far, Wellner said the team continues to “work things out.”

“We will get much better as the season progresses. Right now, the players are still thinking about what they need to do instead of just reacting.

“We will need to recognize and accept our strengths and avoid our weaknesses,” Wellner continued. “We have to pull for each other instead of looking to do things individually.”

Wellner said he expects Mayer Lutheran and Jordan to again be among the top teams in the MRC this season. He said those same two when asked who the teams to beat in the section tournament will be.

Jordan won the conference championship last year with a 12-2 record and has one of its three all-conference players (guard Brian Hartman) returning. Forward Jake Anderson, the MRC’s most valuable player last year after averaging over 20 points a game, is among the Hubmen who graduated. Mayer

Good Luck Basketball Players!

H.S. Girls’ Basketball

Belle Plaine Opens Season Next Tuesday The Belle Plaine High School girls’ basketball team has its work cut out for it if it hopes to improve on last year’s record of 6-8 in the Minnesota River Conference, 10-16 overall.

That’s because both of the Tigers’ all-conference selections and top scorers from last year – point guard Haley Fogarty and guard Claire Otto – have graduated, leaving big holes to fill in the backcourt. Also gone are guards Sophie Brazil and Jamie Read, as well as center Ellie Murphy and forward Kalli Koepp.

“We graduated our ball handlers and our shooters from last year,” said Tigers head coach Randy Carlson, who is in his second season guiding the girls’ team after some 25 years as coach of the boys. “We need to find someone to step into these roles, shoot the ball and be floor leaders.”

Despite their subpar record in 2012-13, the Tigers did post a section tournament win last March, defeating Tri-City United 52-46 in the first round of the section tournament. Belle Plaine stumbled in the second round against higher-seeded

Kenyon-Wanamingo, losing 71-43.

If the Tigers are to improve this season, they will have to do so with a less experienced cast of players, starting with freshman post/wing Mariena Hayden, who as an eighthgrader received all-conference honorable mention last year after averaging 9.4 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, the latter of which was a team high. Hayden showed her athletic ability again this past volleyball season as she led the Tigers to the section championship and a trip to the state tournament.

In the process, Hayden received allstate honors.

Carlson hopes more of that athletic ability rubs off on the basketball court during Hayden’s freshman year.

One other regular from last year, post/wing Amara Meyer, is back for her senior year. She

averaged 4.7 points and 5.5 rebounds a game last season.

“We have about 30 percent of our scoring back. We have some big holes to fill but have some options to choose from,” Carlson said.

Some of those options may include five other seniors besides Meyer. They are Mallory Glisczinski (post), Emily Vinkemeier (wing), Tatiana Boecker (wing), Lauren Campbell (wing) and Erica Selly (point guard).

Juniors are Katelyn Schmit (point guard), Katelyn Jeurissen (wing), Hannah Preusser (post), Amelia Kahle (post), Torie Kellogg (post), Megan Schmitz (wing) and Alyssa Meierbachtol (post). Sophomores on the roster include Kenzie Koepp (post) and Kaylee Hentges (post). Joining Hayden as freshmen are Elizabeth Johnson (point guard/wing) and Ireland Lambrecht (wing).

“So far, the girls are working hard in practice and seem to be having fun doing it,” Carlson said. “We are looking at finding the pieces we need to be a good team and everyday getting a little better. We can go big and we can go quick. We do have some flexibility there.”

Carlson added that his goals for the team are “to compete every night, work harder than the other team, improve daily and have fun.”

“If we do those things, winning will take care of itself.”

Carlson said he expects the MRC to be “tough from top to bottom,” with Sibley East, Mayer Lutheran, Norwood Young America, Jordan and Watertown-Mayer leading the way, as well as possibly Belle Plaine.

As for the section favorite, Carlson said that’s “easy” – defending state champion New Richland-Hartland-EllendaleGeneva, which has much of its firepower back from last year.

The Tigers are scheduled to open the season in a nonconference game against WatervilleElysian-Morristown 7:30 p.m. next Tuesday night at the BPHS gym.

H.S. Wrestling

Good Luck Wrestlers!

Scott West Opens Season at Hastings Saturday After not being able to qualify for the Minnesota State Wrestling Team Tournament for the first time in six years, the Scott West Panthers will be looking to bounce back with a big year and show the state of Minnesota that Scott West Wrestling is “Still Alive!”

“We made a lot of progress last year with a lot of kids and as a team, but ultimately did not reach our goal of making it to the state team tournament,” comments Scott West Wrestling co-head coach Darren Ripley, who will also have co-head coach Jerold Stauffacher to team up with in leading the Panthers into their 24th season of wrestling. “This team will have the great opportunity and challenge to try to put Scott West back in the Minnesota State Team Tournament for the 10th time in twelve years.”

The Scott West “The Ambassadors--Still Alive!” theme also pays tribute to the International Olympic Committee’s September 2013 decision to keep the sport of wrestling in the Olympics at least through the 2024 Olympic Games.

The current generation of Scott West wrestling ambassadors will be led by tri-captains Zach Siegle, Andrew Fogarty and David Flynn. Siegle wrestled his way to a 37-6 record last year and finished third in the state at 126 pounds. The senior and two-time state place-winner will be looking to cap his career with a state title this year.

“Zach certainly has been a big part of the team success that we have had over the last several years and he would like nothing more than to help lead this team back to the state team tourna-

ment,” states Ripley. “It would also be great to see him close out his outstanding career at the top of the podium in St. Paul.”

Also, shooting for the top of the podium in St. Paul will be a pair of juniors in Fogarty and Flynn.

Fogarty went 41-4 last year and placed third in the state at 160 pounds, while Flynn wrestled to a 40-6 record and placed fourth at state.

“You have to like what Andrew brings to the mat and to the sport of wrestling as he is just a hard-working, hard-nosed kid that will stay in good position and will fight you for everything on the mat,” describes Ripley. “You also have to like what David brings to the mat as well and he has added some size and strength in the offseason, which should compliment his a little more finesse style of wrestling. David put together a very good spring and summer of wrestling and was outstanding and the “OW” on our wrestling camp trip this past summer.”

Senior Derek Dahlke may have had the best win on the Scott West summer camp trip this past year as he turned in a Panther Payback by turning a “major” loss into a “major” victory by beating an undefeated camp kid from Revere, Ohio, for the championship of the individual tournament after that kid had beaten him in the team tournament. Dahlke had a record of 27-7 last year and placed eighth in the prestigious Minnesota Christmas Tournament, while placing fourth in the Section 2AA Tournament at 170.

“I know that he just signed to play baseball for Augustana, but Derek is more than just a great baseball player as he had a

pretty good football season and we are expecting him to have a pretty good wrestling season as well,” insists Ripley. “When Derek Dahlke is on and wrestling hard, he has a lot of skills and can be a very exciting wrestler to watch.”

Two other wrestlers that wrestled hard and improved throughout last season were Ray Carter and Jake Schultz as they both won the Panthers “Most Improved” wrestler award for 2012-13. The two seniors will help Dahlke solidify the Scott West upper weights this year as they came into their own last year as untested juniors. Carter wrestled his way to a 19-18 record last year at 195, while placing fourth at the Section 2AA Individual Tournament, where he knocked off two opponents that had beaten him earlier in the year.

“Ray really came into his own last year as a wrestler and I think he also matured a lot as a person,” cites Ripley.

Meanwhile, teammate Schultz wrestled his way to a record of 22-15 at 182 and also placed fourth in the Section 2AA Individual Tournament.

“There was a lot of talk about our upper weights last year and who was going to wrestle them.

I think Jake really helped be part of the answer, and as we like to say from time to time that you can be part of the problem or you can be part of the solution, and Ray Carter and Jake

Schultz were and are part of the solution.”

A big part of the solution for this year’s Scott West team could be in the contributions the Panthers get from five other returning senior letterwinners in Jacob Backlund, Shane Abraham, Jack Storlie, Daniel Kochlin and Tyler Ackmann.

Also, two other junior letterwinners return in Tony Dvorak and Willie Staples III. Backlund has turned in a couple of winning seasons since just joining the team as a sophomore and this year made the decision to concentrate only on wrestling.

“A big year from Jacob and guys like Shane, Jack, Daniel and Tyler will be very important to our success as a team.”

The success of the Scott West team will also depend on the work of a trio of sophomore lightweights in Ben Kelvington, Carter Piche and Ryan Siegle.

Kelvington went 23-17 last year and placed fourth in the Section 2AA Individual Tournament at 106. He shared “Freshman of the Year” honors with Carter Piche and Josiah Schatz.

“Ben had a solid year for us last year,” states Ripley. “We are looking for him to build upon that this year, while Piche and Siegle could really step up and surprise some people.”

It is always good when you can start a wrestling meet with a win and Scott West will look for eighth-grader Jackson Stauffacher to be the lead “Ambas-

at

sador” in the “Still Alive!” campaign as the young lightweight is the leading candidate to be the Panthers’ 106-pounder for the upcoming season. A light but talented freshman, Parker Huss, may also find himself in the mix along with Jackson’s seventhgrade brother Justin. Jackson Stauffacher got his feet wet last year at the varsity level while also placing third at 100 pounds in the Minnesota 9th Grade League State Tournament.

“Jackson has really improved his wrestling over the last couple of years,” states Ripley.

“We have all the trust in him that he will go out and get us off to a good start.”

Stauffacher is also joined by another eighth-grader that placed in the Minnesota 9th Grade League State Tournament. He is Tyler Buesgens, who placed seventh at 120.

“It was the first time that we had two seventh-graders place in the 9th Grade State Tournament in the same year. Tim Hentges had been our only seventh-grader to do it before,” states Ripley. “Like Jackson, Tyler has really improved his wrestling over the last couple of years and we are hoping that he and Jackson are the lead in to a new wave of Scott West wrestling talent.”

Scott West will take its talent to the Hastings Duals this Saturday for the opening of the 201314 season. Scott West is scheduled to take on Monticello at 9:30 a.m. in the opening round.

Monticello and Scott West are no longer strangers on the wres-

tling mat as the Panthers downed the Magic in the opening rounds of the 2011 and 2012 Minnesota state team tournaments.

This year’s Magic team will provide a tough opening challenge as Monticello has seven returning state qualifiers from last year’s team, and should Scott West prevail in that meet, it will most likely face Intermat’s #49-rated team in the nation, Prior Lake, in the semifinals. The tournament field also includes perennial Minnesota powers in host Hastings and the now in Class 2A Albert Lea, while Coon Rapids, Stillwater and Medford round out the eight-team bracket.

Home Repair Loans, Grants Available USDA Rural Development has funds available to help local homeowners finance home improvements through lowinterest loans and grants.

As winter weather is fast approaching, now is a good time for homeowners to evaluate the need for necessary repairs or replacement of items such as a roof, electrical, plumbing and siding. Energy efficiency improvements through replacing windows and insulation also qualify. Funds can also be used to replace a furnace, sanitary disposal system and to make homes handicap accessible.

Applicants must own and occupy the home, and their income may not exceed guidelines established by county and household size. Income limits vary by county and average $24,700 for a one-person household and $28,250 for two-person households. Income limits increase for larger sized households.

Applicants should check with the local USDA Rural Development Office for income limits in a particular county.

For loan eligibility, applicants must also have an acceptable credit history, show repayment ability, be unable to afford a conventional loan and live in a community with a population of 20,000 or fewer. The maximum loan is $20,000, repayable over 20 years with a one percent interest rate.

Grants are limited to elderly homeowners over the age of 62, and can only be used to remove health or safety hazards or remodel dwellings to make them accessible to household members with disabilities. The

A Team Effort Green Isle Community School students -- from left Abby Koch, Abby Bode, Sami Pollack, Skyler Koch, Shanise Bates, Lauren Menne, Lindsey Czarnecki of Belle Plaine, Johnny Garcia, Trevor Parrott and Rollie Spooner -- recently collected over 190 items to help people in need in just four days. The food drive is part of a service learning project at the charter school.

Students learn interpersonal skills such as collaboration, civic engagement, and problem solving in addition to other academic skills through reflecting upon the projects. This is done both whole-school and in a small group called the Service Learning Task Force. It allows students a voice in selecting the projects and provides them an opportunity for leadership in the school and community. Service learning has enabled students, parents, and staff to engage in extensive service projects that benefit the school, the Green Isle community, and other towns around the area.

maximum grant is $7,500.

For assistance in the following counties: Scott, Blue Earth, Dakota, Dodge, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Le Sueur, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, Waseca and Winona, contact the USDA, Rural Development office at 1408 21st Ave NW #3, Austin, MN 55912.

St. Peter HS Marches out of South Central to Join New Conference Almost two years after its application to join the Minnesota River Conference was declined, St. Peter High School has marched out of the South Central Conference to join a new conference, the Big South.

In the fall of 2014, the new conference is expected to include some, but not all, of the schools in the South Central and Southwest conferences.

Prospective members of the new conference are expected to be approving their individual applications for membership this week, the St. Peter Herald recently reported.

The Big South is expected to have 13 teams, possibly two divisions, east and west.

The South Central Conference

includes Waseca, St. James Area, Fairmont, New Ulm, Waseca and Blue Earth Area Schools. The Southwest Conference includes Jackson County Central, Luverne, Marshall, Pipestone Area, Redwood Valley, Windom Area and Worthington high schools.

The Saints were a charter member of the South Central Conference when it formed in 1945.

St. Peter’s application to the MRC was rejected in March of 2012 when conference activities directors voted 4-4 to accept the application. It needed five votes, or a two-thirds majority to pass. Belle Plaine, Jordan, Le Sueur-Henderson and Watertown-Mayer supported St. Peter’s entrance into the MRC.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA

Author Remembers ‘The Thirty-Ninth Man’ Dale Swanson, author of “The Thirty-Ninth Man,� spoke with people about his book last Wednesday night (Nov. 20) at the Belle Plaine Library. Swanson’s book is about the Dakota warrior spared from the gallows at the 11th hour Dec. 26, 1962 by an executive order from President Abraham Lincoln. The men were hanged after the Dakota uprising the previous summer in the Minnesota River Valley. Swanson also signed copies of the book for buyers and With the help of their mom and dad (Lisa and Kevin), Brodie and Torah Barrett donated left copies of it for check-out at the library.

325 food items to the food drive Cologne Academy recently held for an area food shelf. The school’s students collectively donated 1,318 food items. Brodie is in kindergarten and Torah is a first-grader. The Barretts are two of 12 Belle Plaine students attending the charter school.

proved a 2014 preliminary property tax levy of $4,524,995, which would represent a 0.1 percent decrease from this year’s levy of $4,528,272, which was an increase of $228,635 (5.3 percent) over the 2012 levy of $4,299,637.

The 0.1 percent decrease for 2014 would represent only the city’s portion of your property tax bill. County and school taxes are not included.

Even with a slight decrease in the levy, Belle Plaine Finance Director Dawn Meyer said that the city’s budget (if approved) will increase from $4,228,045 in 2013 to $4,415,246 in 2014.

That’s an increase of $187,201, which is being made possible by an increase in state local government aid (LGA) – from $54,473 this year to $279,862 next year.

Belle Plaine is among a number of communities that is benefiting from sizeable increases in LGA that was authorized by the Minnesota Legislature earlier this year. LGA is a general Belle Plaine Boy Scouts and volunteers took down American flags in Veterans Park Saturday purpose aid that can be used for morning. The flags traditionally go up each spring before Memorial Day and come down each any lawful expenditure. fall after Veterans Day. Meyer said much of the $187,201 increase in the city’s budget in 2014 will be used for preparation for new federal health care laws and for an additional police officer.

The council is expected to adopt the final 2014 property tax levy and budget following the Dec. 2 public hearing. At that time the preliminary levy can be decreased but not increased.
