Scenic Byway Races Saturday
Belle Plaine Seventh Grade Football Coach Ken Wick got the chance to thank some of the people who helped save his life after he collapsed with a cardiac ailment during football practice Sept. 11. The co-workers and emergency responders who rushed to his side include (from left) assistant football coach Joe Ploetz, Belle Plaine Police Officer Ben Pederson, football coach Jerold Stauffacher, B.P. Police Chief Tom Stolee, patrol
officer Matt Brandt, Ridgeview Ambulance Emergency Medical Technician Karen Niesche, firefighters Todd Otto, Travis Otto, Tyler Koonst and fire chief Randy Koepp. Several other EMTs and firefighters also assisted with the call for help when Wick collapsed. He returned to work at school on a part-time basis last week.
Happy to Be Back to Work, Wick Knows He Beat the Odds
B.P. Coach Thankful to Those Who Helped Save His Life
by John Mueller Little things don’t bother Ken Wick like they used one did. Kids horsing around outside his office at Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School, a computer
network malfunctioning, slow traffic on his drive home. He’s just enjoying life in a new way. The doctors say the odds of him surviving the cardiac malfunction he suffered during football practice the afternoon of Sept. 11 are about 4 percent. Ken Wick knows he’s lucky to be alive. Unlike a heart attack – which hits people suffering heart disease – Wick had no symptoms, no personal history of heart disease. His workout regimen includes 15 miles of running a
Final Assessment Hearing for 2012 Street Work Next Monday The Belle Plaine City Council will hold the final assessment public hearing for this year’s street improvement project next Monday. It will begin shortly after 6 p.m. at the Belle Plaine Government Center, 218 North Meridian Street downtown. The area to be assessed for this year’s project includes: – North Elm Street between Church Street and Spring Street.
– Court Street from Meridian Street to Walnut Street. – Chestnut Street north of Court Street. – Ravine repair at the end of Chestnut Street. The total amount proposed to be assessed for this year’s project is $547,433, for which benefitting property owners will pay back in annual installments over a period of seven years.
week as well as three days in the weight room. Wick returned to work the Belle Plaine School District’s director of information technology (IT) last week. He’s only allowed to work mornings and is slowly regaining his strength. Monday, a group of police officers, firefighters, members of the Ridgeview Medical Center ambulance crew and the other football coaches gathered with him for a photo and a chance to receive his thanks. “If ever there is anything I can ever do for you . . .,” Wick told the group. A man of strong faith, Wick offered a prayer for the emergency responders and coaches and the work they do. He thanked God for their dedication and commitment to helping people in need. Wick believes God has a plan for people and his plan for the police officers, firefighters, paramedics and fellow coaches Sept. 11 included saving his life. “I’m very lucky,” he said last Friday, sitting in his office. “Very lucky.” He thinks about a song Jason
Gray sings, “Good to be Alive.” Its contemporary Christian lyrics speak of life as a gift and living life for God. The song was on his iPod playlist and he listened to it occasionally while running. “It really became my favorite song after Sept. 11,” Wick said. Wick owes his life to many people, including his fellow coaches – John Wellner, Jerold

Nature has done its job by providing the fall backdrop along the scenic byway on both sides of the Minnesota River in Belle Plaine. On Saturday, hundreds of runners clad in colorful running attire will blend in with all the fall color as the second annual Minnesota River Valley Scenic Byway Half-Marathon, 5K and Kids races will take place. According to Carrie Traxler of the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce, as of Monday morning there were 199 runners registered for the 5K and 187 for the half-marathon. Last year’s inaugural races attracted some 500 runners, about 20 percent of whom registered on race day. The half-marathon will start at 9 a.m., the 5K at 9:20 a.m. and the Kids Run at 11:30 a.m. Award ceremonies will follow each race. Both the half-marathon and 5K courses are USATF certified and chip-timed. Last Friday was the last day to register for the races at discounted prices. Race-day registration, which will open at 7:30 a.m. at Court Square Park, will be $55 for the half-marathon and $35 for the 5K. The Kids Run will remain $7. The 5K race will have a new route that will wind through Belle Plaine. The half-marathon route will once again be run along the fall foliage of the Scenic Byway, including crossing the Minnesota River bridges in Belle Plaine and Blakeley. Both races will begin and end at Court Square Park (race headquarters) in Belle Plaine. Also at the park on Saturday will be a craft fair, concessions,
bounce house and Lollipop the Clown. At the Vets Club downtown there will be a freewill pancake breakfast. If the extended forecast holds out, temperatures at race time will be in the mid-40s to lower50s. Saturday’s forecast calls for a high of 60 degrees and a chance of rain. The chamber of commerce is still in need of volunteers to help operate the races. Call 952-873-4295 if you can help out.
Spaghetti Dinner at Oak Crest Friday
The Belle Plaine High School cross country team, in conjunction with the Scenic Byway races, will host a spaghetti dinner from 4-7 p.m. Friday at Oak Crest Elementary School (not Chatfield as reported last week). The dinner is a freewill donation and $4 to $7 would be appreciated. Preregistered runners will be able to pickup their race packets at the dinner, which is open to the public. There will also be registration for Saturday’s Kids Run at this time. Proceeds from the dinner will go to the BPHS cross country program.
Sneaker Donations Sought
The Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce is teaming with GreenSneakers, a non-profit organization that recycles tennis shoes to provide affordable footwear to people in need around the world. Runners and spectators this Saturday are encouraged to bring sneakers to donate to this cause.
Practice Fires, Real Experience
After several days of squelching practice fires at Marion and Larry Entinger’s old house at 8025 Union Hill Boulevard, Belle Plaine firefighters burned down the house Saturday morning. The practice fires give firefighters real experience in an actual house compared to a simulated structure. It also makes removing the house easier and less expensive for the property owner.
Mike Schultz is Top Belle Plaine Runner in 2012 TC Marathon
Ready for the Race Workers from S.M. Hentges & Sons of Jordan will have the new bridge along Scott County Road 6/Union Trail (the Blakeley road) ready for the hundreds of runners in the Scenic Byway Half-Marathon Saturday. Scott County removed old culverts prone to wash-outs and replaced them with a bridge along the roadway. Across the river, construction on Sibley County Road 6/Scenic Byway began last week and runners will have to navigate their way around the construction area just west of Highway 25.
Mike Schultz logged the fastest time among the 14 Belle Plaine runners entered in the Twin Cities Marathon Sunday. Schultz, 27, finished the race in 3 hours, 42 minutes and 25 seconds.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2012
There were no tug-of-wars between the classes or pie-eating contests at Friday’s Belle Plaine High School Homecoming Pepfest in the school’s south gym, but there was plenty of dancing. Pictured at right are 2012 Homecoming King Brandon Boateng and queen candidate Jamie Read, both of whom were involved in multiple dances and skits. The school’s fall dance club (below) also showed off their talents during the pepfest, which is an annual prelude to the homecoming football game. Pictured in the bottom photo are Belle Plaine Lions Club members Andrew Pint, left, and J.R. Jones. They were among the club’s members working the Homecoming Pizza fund-raiser at Oak Crest Elementary School.

Former Area State Lawmaker, K.J. McDonald, Passes Away A colorful character in the history of the Minnesota Legislature and area politics, former Rep. K.J. McDonald passed away last Thursday evening after a yearlong battle with cancer. He was 81. A fiery orator and staunch Republican, Kenneth James McDonald served in the primarily DFL-controlled Minnesota House of Representatives from 1977 through 1991. He was known for working with DFLers on issues during a time when collaboration between the two parties was more likely than today. He represented House District 36A from 1977 to 1982 and House District 35B from 1983 to 1991. Both districts included southern Carver County near Belle Plaine. “Carver County was filled with German Lutherans and he was an Irish Catholic,” said Rep. Joe McDonald, K.J.’s son. The younger McDonald was elected in 2010 to represent the area adjacent to his father’s
former district. “He must have done something right to keep getting re-elected.” K.J. McDonald most closely served on veterans’ affairs, agricultural. His son said he was particularly proud of legislation he supported that helped family farms. After leaving the Legislature, he returned to his hometown and won election to the Watertown City Council. He served as the city’s mayor until his passing. McDonald was diagnosed with stage four metastatic melanoma late last year after a tumor was discovered near the right side of his brain. He had surgery to remove the cancerous tumor in December, but continued to receive treatment to fight the cancer until recently. Born in 1929 on a farm just outside Watertown, McDonald was an active community servant for much of his life. A lifelong champion of his hometown, he saw the value in con-

trolled, thoughtful growth at a time when some wanted to the community to remain small and once told a reporter, “If we do not grow, we will perish.” After serving his country in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War, McDonald served his community and state. He was elected Watertown’s mayor in 1976-77 before being elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 1977. He served seven terms in the Minnesota House. Most recently, McDonald returned to the mayor’s chair in 2005, when, as a city council member, he was appointed to replace the mayor when his National Guard unit was deployed. McDonald was then elected as Watertown’s mayor for three terms. McDonald announced in August that he would not seek re-election in November due to his health.

Encounter at Birch Coulee
Last week we reported one version of the Battle of Birch Coulee where the US troops suffered the heaviest military casualties of the Dakota Indian war. This week we are printing the account of the event by Capt. Hirem P. Grant. By J. E. Townsend
From Capt. Grant’s account of this desperate engagement, furnished by request, I quote the following interesting narrative: “Sunday morning, August 31, at Fort Ridgely, Minn., I was ordered to report in person to Col. William Crooks, commanding my regiment; I reported, and received the following orders: To take command of an expeditionary force, consisting of Company A, Sixth Minnesota Volunteer Infantry, Capt. Joseph Anderson’s company of mounted Rangers and a detail of 20 men, as a burial party, making the aggregate 150 men, and proceed at once to make a reconnaissance toward the lower agency, bury the dead and afford relief to any who might have escaped the Indians. I was also ordered to see that each man had forty rounds of ammunition and two days’ rations; the ordinance officer was ordered to turn over to me 3,000 rounds of extra ammunition, and the quartermaster what transportation we might need. A careful detailed route was given, both Col. Crooks and myself believing that the march could be made and all details carried out and that we could return to Fort Ridgely on the evening of September 1st. I was further told that a few citizens, whose families or friends had been killed, were desirous of going along with the expedition, and I was requested to permit them to do so. “Among the anxious ones Col. Crooks mentioned Maj. J. R. Brown, who feared his family had been killed, and Col. Crooks told me that Maj. Brown was well posted in Indian signs, character, etc., and if circumstances should arise so that I wanted advice, to consult the major. About 9:30 a.m., the detail and Capt. Anderson having reported, we marched out of Fort Ridgely, taking the usual road the prairie to the ferry at lower agency, distant about twelve miles. On the way to the ferry we buried several dead bodies, among whom I recognized Bill Taylor, a colored citizen of St. Paul, whom all old settlers will remember. At the ferry we found the bodies of about twenty soldiers of Capt. Marsh’s command, who were killed the first day of the massacre while attempting to cross the ferry to lower agency; we also found here the body of United States interpreter Quinn. While engaged in burying the dead around the ferry, I sent a part of the command across the river to the agency to reconnoiter and to bury the dead there, with orders to return when their work was accomplished, and to follow me to camp. “After leaving the ferry I moved the command up the east side of the river about five miles and went into camp; was soon joined by Capt. Anderson. The usual picket guard was detailed, and at 9 p.m. those not on duty were in the tents, lights out, etc. No alarm occurred during the night. At daylight the camp was aroused to prepare breakfast. “As soon as everything was ready I again divided my command, sending Capt. Anderson with his mounted rangers back to cross the river, go up the west side through Little Crow’s village, and to go toward Yellow Medicine to see if any Indians were below there. With my command I followed up the valley toward Beaver Creek, occasionally halting to bury whole families, men, women and children, who had been overtaken by Indians and massacred. “About 10 a.m., while riding at the head of my command, I saw what I thought to be an Indian drop in the grass about one mile toward the Minnesota riv-
Joseph Edward Townsend er. I halted the command, sent a force of 20 men to surround what I had seen; to capture if white, but to kill the Indian. When they had closed in on the spot they found a woman who, thirteen days before, had seen her husband and three children killed. She had been told to run, and when she was three or four rods off one of the Indians fired at her and put nine buckshot into her back. Then they had cut her clothes off her, and while doing so, they cut a gash about four inches long over her stomach and left her for dead on the field. When she came to her senses and realized they loss of her family, her brain gave away, and she had wandered unconscious for twelve days, subsisting, probably, on roots and water. Discovering her condition, I rode forward with a soldier’s blanket, and wrapped it around her, carried her to one of the wagons and made her a grass bed. Other soldiers kindly gave her their only blanket. Dr. Daniels dressed her wounds and made her as comfortable as possible. After an hour’s delay we went to Beaver Creek, where we found some thirty bodies and buried them; then we went some three miles beyond, left the valley and climbed the hills to the right, up to the open prairie, where we struck a trail that led us by the burned houses of Caruthers and Henderson. We found the body of Caruther’s son to the right of the road about one mile from home; also found what remained of Mrs. Henderson and her babe.Mrs. Henderson being sick, they, learning that the Indians were massacring the settlers, fixed a bed in a wagon and started to escape. They were overtaken and killed, the featherbed having been pulled out of the wagon, set on fire and the bodies of mother and babe about half consumed. “We now realized that our delays made it impossible to reach Fort Ridgely that night, as we were then about 22 miles from the fort and six miles from Birch Coulee, the nearest place to get water. I now marched direct to the Coulee along the road where it is open prairie for several miles each side. I rode forward and selected my camp about forty rods north of the woods and about the same distance west of the Coulee. About the same distance west of the camp was a meadow; north of the camp it was an open prairie for miles. “When the teams came up I had them placed in a circle and ropes stretched from wagon to wagon to picket horses to. Our tents were put up inside this circle, my company on the north, Capt. Anderson’s on the south side of the camp. “About sundown Capt. Anderson came in, having ridden about 40 miles. He reported they had been well up toward Yellow Medicine, came back, crossed the Minnesota seven miles further up than I had been, and that they had seen no Indians, but signs indicated the redskins had gone north four days before. Maj. Brown had been with Capt. Anderson during the day. “From all reports I did not think there were any Indians within twenty miles of us; however, I detailed 30 men, besides non-commissioned officers and an officer of the guard, and established ten picket posts at equal distances apart around the camp, with three men at each post. “Soon the camp was quiet. The tired men were glad to get repose and rest. All went well until just before daylight. Private William Hart discovered what he thought was a dog or wolf crawling between his post and camp. He fired, and it proved to be an Indian. Other Indians raised themselves enough to be seen. Several of the guard fired. The Indians gave their war whoop and rushed toward camp. The guards came rushing
back into camp. The Indians did not fire until within eight or ten rods of the camp, intending to make a sure thing of us by shooting us down as we came out of our tents. “My company came out of their tents and started to form in line. I gave the order to break to right and left, get behind the wagons and commence firing. Our horses had received most of the bullets up to this time and as they fell our men threw themselves behind them. At the order to break and commence firing, the brave and fearless Lieut. Gillham sang out, ‘Follow me, boys!’ and some thirty men sprang with him to defend the east side of the camp. Lieut. Baldwin took charge of about the same number at the northeast of the camp. With the remainder of my company I took charge of the northwest and west, Capt. Anderson taking he south. After one hour’s fighting we had driven the Indians all back to at least long range, but it had been at fearful cost. Already twenty-two of our men were dead or mortally wounded. Sixty more had received serious or slight wounds. Onehalf of our whole force was killed or wounded. Eighty-five horses were dead, leaving only two alive. One of the two horses that had been injured was my own faithful horse. I went up to him, slipped the halter off, and he went about three rods from camp. During the day he fed altogether around the camp, and about sundown he walked inside of the camp and placed himself where he had stood the night before, turned his head and neighed. I went up to him to put his halter on, when some of the boys shouted, ‘Down, Captain!’ Horse and myself fell together; he with seven bullets in him, I unhurt. “As soon as we had forced the Indians back I put every man I could spare digging and throwing up breastworks. We had nothing but our bayonets to dig with, but by noon we had ourselves pretty well intrenched, using our dead soldiers and horses to help our breastworks. “The Indians were lying in the grass watching for someone to show himself; our men were watching for an Indian. About this time the men commenced to say, ‘This is my last cartridge.’ I then had the 3,000 extra ones brought from the wagon and commenced distributing them, when we discovered the ordinance officer had given us 62 caliber for 58 caliber rifles. “Immediately I put the men to work whittling down the balls to the size of our rifles, and now gave orders not to fire except when necessary, a precaution taken none too soon, as when relieved the next day we did not have over five rounds to the man left. “In the early morning of September 2nd, Gen. Sibley, at Ridgely, hearing the firing at our camp, although sixteen miles away, promptly ordered Col. McPhaill to take three companies of the Sixth Infantry, three companies of his mounted men, in all 240 men, together with a section (two guns) of Capt. Hendrick’s battery, to make a forced march to our relief. “At our camp all was quiet; occasionally a stray bullet came into camp. At four o’clock, however, we saw quite a commotion among the Indians. There appeared to be large numbers of them crossing the Coulee east. In a few moments our hearts felt glad, for McPhaill’s command hove in sight about two miles across the Coulee. I gave orders to fire a few shots to let them know we were still alive. The Indians fired perhaps twenty shots long range toward McPhaill’s command, when that officer retired to the east side of the Coulee and encamped. He sent two messengers to Gen. Sibley with the information that he had met the Indians, and that they were too many for him, and reinforcements were asked for. Everything was quiet in our camp until about 2 a.m., when the Indians made a show to take our camp. A few volleys from our watchful men quieted them. During the night the Indians had been reinforced by 500 warriors. “On September 3rd, the daylight and sunrise were most beautiful but we discovered large bodies of Indians southwest and north of us, circling around and closing up nearer to us, when an Indian (probably Little Crow’s brother) came riding directly toward us on a white horse, waving a
white flag. He rode to within 20 rods, stopped, and held a conversation with my interpreter, Corp. James Auge of Mendota. He said the Indians had been largely reinforced during the night, that they were now as many as the leaves on the trees; that we stood no show to resist them any longer; that they were going to charge the camp and should take no prisoners, but if half-breeds and all of those who had Indian blood in them would march out and give themselves up, they would be protected. “Those with us who had any Indian blood gathered around the interpreter, some eight or ten. I asked them what they were going to do. Corp. Auge, with some hesitation, answered for them; ‘We are going to stay with you, Captain.’ “I then told Auge to tell them that they did not have Indians enough to take our camp; that we were still 200 men; that each had two rifles loaded, and all the Indians that wanted to die should come at once; that we denied them. (It was only a small exaggeration in regard to numbers, as we really had but about 65 men who had not been killed or wounded.) I instructed the interpreter to tell them to get out of the way, that we could not respect a flag of truce for any such offer as he had made, and to go at once. He turned his horse and rode slowly toward the meadow. I then gave the order to fire. About 20 shots were fired at him. We killed his horse, but he got off safely. “Then there was great excitement among the Indians, who all the while were circling closer and closer around us, myself and officers of the command telling our soldiers to hold their fire, lay low until the Indians were close upon us, and then to take good aim and fire and seize the other gun and repeat. We assured the men they could not take camp, and I think most of the men believed us. “We now expected a general attack, and while almost holding our breath, expecting every moment to hear their war whoop, we discovered a large powerful Indian come up out of the woods, yelling at the top of his lungs. I asked Interpreter Auge what he said; he replied that he told the Indians that there were three miles of white men coming. This made our hearts beat with joy, for we knew that some one besides Col. McPhaill was coming to our relief. “When McPhaill’s courier reached Fort Ridgely, Gen. Sibley immediately ordered Col. Crooks with the remainder of the regiment and Col. Wm. R. Marshall, who had arrived that day with his regiment, to start at once to our support. At daybreak, the relief, marching by flank, was seen by this Indian, and accordingly he hastened to report that three miles of white men were coming. “We now saw that the attack on our camp had been abandoned, that the great body of Indians was crossing the Coulee towards where Gen. Sibley was coming. About this time the command came in sight, halted about the same place where McPhaill retreated from the day before, and after a few minutes resumed their march, moved further up the Coulee, crossed over and relieved us, without loss of another life. “The sight that met our rescuers - the 87 dead horses, 22 dead soldiers, the poor woman who lay in the wagon 48 hours without food or water (the wagon had been struck with more than 50 bullets, and she had been shot again) the 60 wounded soldiers who had been nearly 48 hours without food, water or sleep, the seriously wounded, with parched throats, crying for water, the stench from the dead horses that were already bursting open, was a scene long to be remembered. “The wounded were gathered up, placed in wagons, and the command started for Fort Ridgely, where we arrived about 8 o’clock that evening. “So many years have passed that, should I attempt to recall the names of those who contributed most of the defense of our camp, I might do in justice. Suffice to say, all did well, and a few such men as Capt. Anderson, Lieut. Swan, Lieut. Gillham, Sergt. Barnes, Sergt. Gardner, Corp. Auge, Hon. James J. Egan of the Rangers, and David Redfield, a citizen, by their courage and bravery, helped others to be brave and courageous. All did well. “After a night’s sleep at Fort
Ridgely I made my report of this expedition, and when it was ready took it personally to my commanding officer. It was then handed back to me and I was cooly informed that I should make my report to Maj. Jos. R. Brown, who was in command of the expedition. This was the first I had heard of it. We had been gone four days, two of which we had been engaged in deadly fight; no order had been given me by Maj. Brown, not an intimation that he considered himself in command. To say that I was angry, when told to make my report to him, would only express half what I felt. I then and there destroyed my report and never made another. If any blame rests on any one, for selection of camps, or in carrying out any of the details of the expedition, it rests upon me. All officers, soldiers and citizens obeyed my orders. I had the full charge.” Col. Sibley could not follow the Indians from Birch Coulee without mounted troops with sufficient rapidity to overtake them. He opened a communication with the Indians, who moved rapidly up to Yellow Medicine by means of scouts and friendly Sioux. It was necessary to use great care, on account of the captive women and children in the hands of the hostiles. A few official dispatches of this period show the situation better than it can be otherwise described. * * * St. Paul, Minn. Aug. 21, 1862 - 4 p.m. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War: The Sioux Indians on our western border have risen and are murdering men, women and children. I have ordered a party of men out, under Col. H. H. Sibley, and have given the command of the Sixth Regiment, also ordered out, to Capt. A. D. Nelson, U. S. Army. I must have Nelson. Telegraph at once. Alex. Ramsey St. Paul, Minn. Aug. 25, 1862 - 2:30 p.m. E. M. Stanton: The Indian war is still progressing. I have sent up the Sixth Regiment and called out 1,000 horsemen. The panic among the people has depopulated whole counties, and in view of this I ask that there be one month added to the several dates of your previous orders for volunteers, draft, etc. 22nd of August by 22nd of Septem-
ber; 1st of September be 1st of October. In view of the distracted condition of the country this is absolutely necessary. I have full knowledge of all the facts, and I urge a concurrence in this request. Wm. P. Dole, Commissioner Indian Affairs. St. Paul, Minn. Aug. 26, 1862 - 10 p.m. President Lincoln: With the concurrence of Commissioner Dole I have telegraphed the secretary of war for an extension of one month of drafting, etc. The Indian outbreak has come upon us suddenly. Half the population of the state are fugitives. It is absolutely impossible that we should proceed. The secretary of war denies our request. I appeal to you, and ask for an immediate answer. No one not here can conceive the panic in the state. Alex Ramsey, Governor of Minnesota. Executive Mansion Aug. 27, 1862 Governor Ramsey, St. Paul, Minn. Yours received. Attend to the Indians. If the draft cannot proceed, of course it will not proceed. Necessity knows no law. The Government cannot extend the time. A. Lincoln * * * Col. Sibley’s command remained at Fort Ridgely until September 19th. On the 7th of September the Department of the Northwest was created, including the states of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, the territories of Nebraska and Dakota, with the troops raised and to be raised in that department. Major General John Pope was placed in command, with his headquarters for the time being at St. Paul, subsequently at Milwaukee. Col. Sibley issued orders for battalion drills, and it was at Fort Ridgely that the Sixth Regiment began, under Col. Crooks, the admirable conducted battalion evolutions which brought the regiment up to such a high plane of military discipline and perfection. To be led South with such a colonel, and to make a record under him was the dearest wish of every man. To engage in long, weary marches across dry plains, chasing mounted Indians who seldom appeared within gunshot, was the dismal prospect that was presented for the immediate future, and was indeed disheartening.

Thirty Years Ago This Week
District Champs Members of the 1982 Belle Plaine High School District 13 champion tennis team are front row, from left, Romi Schneider, Jane Bigaouette and Amy Townsend. In the back row are Mary Leonard, Melanie Martin, Sharon Meger and coach Terry Knop. Not pictured is Ann Buesgens. The race to fill three open Belle Plaine City Council seats became crowded as nine people placed their names in the running as filings closed that Tuesday. Mayor Fran Schuman would be opposed by Ted Worm. City council incumbents Ed Townsend and Ed Willson both filed for re-election. Joining them in the race would be Paul DeGree, Patricia O’Laughlin, Joyce Gillen, Ramona Edberg, Ron Fenske, Orville Heitkamp and James Steffen. The television cameras, helicopters and reporters from daily newspapers left along with 30 law enforcement officers as it was back to business as usual at V & S Enterprises in Belle Plaine. Law officers had descended upon the auto salvage business on Oct. 6 looking for stolen goods. About 24 vehicles or parts of vehicles that officials suspected of being stolen were removed from the salvage yard that week and placed in storage sites. V & S was in the business of buying salvage cars from a number of Twin Cities area and officials were trying to link some of their sources of supply with a car theft ring. No charges had yet been filed in the case. The recent autumn rainfalls were proving to be too heavy to allow farmers into their fields, putting the corn and soybean harvest behind schedule. According to Dave Hart, county extension agent, only about 5 percent of the corn had been harvested in Scott County and 4 percent of the soybeans. “We need to have some dry weather and we need to have it soon,� Hart said. Dr. Roger Hallgren of Belle Plaine, president of the Great Lakes Chapter of Flying Physicians, met with and addressed the group of 400 members that Saturday in Sandusky, Ohio. The group, which had 2,500 members nationally, was a professional recreational group that sent physicians to needy parts of the world. The Belle Plaine High School tennis team traveled to Faribault that Monday and Tuesday and returned home with the District 13 championship trophy. The girls put together super back-to-back performances in downing Le Sueur 3-2 and Le Center 4-1. It was the first district title for the Tigers since 1979. Next up would be the first round of the region playoffs against Brooklyn Center. Members of the team included Check out our FALL rebate

Romi Schneider, Jane Bigaouette, Amy Townsend, Mary Leonard, Melanie Martin, Sharon Meger and Ann Buesgens. The coach was Terry Knop. The Tiger football team rolled over the Norwood Indians 30-8 to improve to 2-2 in the conference, 3-3 overall. Eric Johnson scored two touchdowns and also blocked a punt that was returned for a score by Mike Daly. Tony Legg and Jeff Larson also scored for Belle Plaine, the latter of whom caught a touchdown pass from Johnson. The BPHS volleyball team lost to Le Sueur and Le Center and won two of three matches at the Waterville Tournament, losing to Cleveland before beating New Richland and Morristown to earn third place.
60 Years Ago (1952)
The Belle Plaine School Board and the Scott County School Survey Committee tentatively set Nov. 10 as the date for reconsideration by the voters of the consolidation of school districts. The decision to have this second voting at the earliest date permitted was due to the critical enrollment situation in both the grade and high schools. Quite a number from this locality took in the old-time threshing bee staged by Joe (Steam Engine) Rynda near Montgomery. They made a small portion of the estimated 6,000 that attended. Mrs. Walter Gatz of Belle Plaine was the Easter Seal Chairman for Scott County, as she had been in preceding years. Three new polio patients were Lloyd Nyblom Jr., Patrick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy O’Regan, and Mrs. Harold C. Schmidt of Cologne. The Men’s Club of Zion Church and many neighbors turned out for a husking bee at the Robert Stuewe Jr. farm in Hancock Township. A new family in Belle Plaine was the Fred Wiedenroths, who came from Madison Lake. He was a television expert. Many relatives and friends of Mrs. William F. Luedke were at Fish Lake to attend her funeral. She was a sister of August Will of Belle Plaine. The Scott County Farm Bureau members elected Albert Trost of Blakeley Township as their new president. Peter Meyer, well-remembered former resident, died suddenly following a heart attack at his home in St. Paul. When Leo Brandl was driving his tractor over the crossing on his farm, the old brewery place, he noticed a train was almost upon him. He jumped from the tractor and was unhurt, but the tractor was badly damaged when hit by the locomotive.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA
Mortimer Flanigan, native of Belle Plaine Township, died at the St. Cloud hospital following an operation. He was 79 years old. An energetic group of boys, 17 strong, met at the borough hall for the first meeting of the Belle Plaine Scout Troop. Lawrence Albrecht, Bob Druke and George Hoelz were chosen patrol leaders. Roger Hoelz was to act as scribe. At the October meeting of the Belle Plaine Commercial Club three gentlemen from Le Center proposed a plan to substitute Friday night store opening for the traditional Saturday night opening. No decision was given at that time. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Mueller and children moved into their new home on the former site of the Albrecht auction yard. Two Belle Plaine stores were staging big sales. They were the Hahn’s Store with their 66th Anniversary Sale and Matt’s Variety with their second annual Fall V Days. Funeral services for Patrick H. Donovan, 87, were held at his old parish church of St. Johns, Sibley County. An open house was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Stier, who were marking their 25th wedding anniversary. Mrs. M.J. McCue received word of the death at Green Isle of her sister, Mrs. Robert Fitzpatrick, nee Helen McCarthy. The Belle Plaine Tigers unleashed their most effective passing attack of the season and dealt Waterville a 20 to 6 homecoming defeat. Manager Gene O’Brien accepted from Judge F.J. Connelly, director of the State Amateur Baseball Association, the trophies won by the Belle Plaine baseball team during the 1952 season. It was one of the most successful teams in the history of Belle Plaine, taking the pennant, playoffs, regional and second place at the state tourney in Austin. They won 31 of their 40 games played.

was considered a striking feat to get distant game accounts over the air. William Lintner, who had been renting one of the J.A. Ruehling farms, bought the 40 acres of Mrs. William Hofer for $3,800 and took immediate occupancy. Mr. and Mrs. Pat Hessian moved into town, taking the apartment over the Kahle hardware store, Mr. Hessian being owner of the building. Ida, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Vinkemeier of Belle Plaine, and William Knoll of Stillwater were married, Rev. Mr. Schwentker, a cousin of the bride, being the officiating clergyman. All the rural teachers of Scott County were spending a week in Belle Plaine attending the annual Teachers’ Institute. Sixty rural teachers registered. All the children and their families of Mrs. Catherine Neisen gathered to help her celebrate her 75th birthday. At Larkin, Kansas, occurred the death of Tella Boylan, nee Walter. She was the daughter of one of Belle Plaine’s first physicians, taught school in the community before her marriage to Boylan, and for many years was station agent here. Several hundred gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Flannery of Assumption to help them celebrate their silver wedding anniversary. After a stay of four months at his old home in East Union, V.E. Carlson returned to Pasadena, Calif. Ford Motor Company came out with new prices: the roadster $269, touring car $298, coupe $530, sedan $595, all prices f.o.b. Detroit. Starter $75 extra, demountable wheels $25 extra. The Whitlock squad lost to the Effertz squad in the Commercial Club’s big game hunt, and the former group had to furnish the feed, into which went 200 pounds of game.

E.R. Ward, Blakeley brickman, was about to fire the biggest kiln of brick known to the industry in this locality. It contained over a million brick. The marriage of Miss Emma Kruschke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Kruschke, to Charles Krueger took place at Trinity Lutheran Church. A big gathering followed at the home of the bride’s parents. The wood market here was extremely active. Freight figures showed more wood shipped from Belle Plaine than any other town in the valley. When the local German Catholic Benevolent Society went to St. Peter to attend the state convention, they took along the Valley Cornet Band.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, We are hearing from the candidates of both parties about what the other party has done or failed to do. What bothers me is that you never hear what they are going to do or what their ideas are to solve the problems. When are we going to start asking the tough questions? Mr. Candidate “ What are YOU going to do about the economy?� “What are you going to do about high taxes?� and keep asking until we get a straight answer. I am sorry, but I do not care who you vote for president, they can not make the types of promises that you hear on TV. They can have ideas, but they can not achieve it on their own. It takes most of the house, senate and the president to get things done. This is the problem when no one will work together. We need to elect people that will work with others to make things happen for all people, not just a chosen few. So when you go to vote, ask yourself, “Did he answer the question truthfully?� "Is he going to work to help all citizens?� and “Did he answer the tough questions or did he just use smoke and mirrors to distract us?�  Kenneth Engelbrecht Belle Plaine

Dear Editor, My Grandmother graduated from teachers college and then returned to college to earn a nursing degree. She worked as a nurse practitioner alongside the doctor as life and death decisions were regularly made. She earned the respect of her co-workers and community. Grandmother took an interest in politics and could hold her own in any debate, and, with her two college degrees, ranked as one of the most educated citizens in her community. She organized political debates and campaigned for the candidates she believed in. Even though her opinions and political skills were sought, as a woman she was considered to be too delicate and refined to vote. But she never gave up and was proud, at the age of 33, to vote in the 1920 election, and proud to serve as an election judge before she died. I am proud as her granddaughter to continue her legacy of voting, and having also served as an election judge; I take pride in the Minnesota legacy of high voter turnout and clean fair elections. I learned from my Grandmother to base decisions on facts, not fears, and that the devil is often in the details. The proposed Photo ID Amendment has no details on how it is to be implemented, how much it will cost, and who will be paying these costs. The fact is that it will affect thousands of legitimate voters in a scramble to obtain government sanctioned photo ID’s. It will affect absentee voters.  And the sad reality is that senior women will be the most affected, as they may be required to provide not only their birth certificates, but their marriage licenses as well, documents from a time prior to digital records. Why are we even proposing a costly expansion of government into a historically effective voting system? I am told because there could be voter ID fraud. There has never been even one case of voter ID fraud in Minnesota, but it COULD happen. I am taking the advice of Grandpa – don’t be wasting time and money on stuff that could happen; invest time and money in fixing the stuff that is happening. Good advice and why I am voting NO on the Photo ID Amendment. Margaret Connolly Ramsey, MN

Next Monday evening, the Belle Plaine Schools will hold their first Curriculum Advisory Council meeting of the year at 6 p.m. in the District Center Board Room. This council makes recommendations to the school board regarding curriculum program improvements. The council, comprised of parents, staff and community members, provides continuous curriculum evaluation and review to ensure that all curriculum content is comprehensive. The Curriculum Advisory Council will provide active community participation in: ¡ reviewing the school district instructional and curriculum plan; ¡ identifying annual instruction and curriculum improvement goals for recommendation to the school board; ¡ making recommendations regarding the evaluation process that will be used to measure school district progress towards its goals; ¡ making recommendations regarding the development of the "Annual Report on Curriculum, Instruction and Student Achievement". Additional information about this committee and our agenda for the year can be found on the Belle Plaine Schools website under District Info/Curriculum Director/Curriculum Advisory Council We are seeking volunteers to be on this committee so I hope that you will consider this opportunity. If you are interested, please contact Curriculum Director Carol Lagergren at clagergren@belleplaine.k12.mn.us and inform her of your intentions. I realize that this is really short notice, so even if you can't make Monday's meeting, I hope you will still consider being a part of the group. The October Agenda may be found on the Belle Plaine Schools website under Curriculum Advisory Council. The winter storm that northern Minnesota experienced last week causing school delays and homecoming football game postponements caused me to start thinking about emergency closings due to severe weather or some other circumstance. The Belle Plaine Schools uses ShoutPoint as our alert system through our student database, Infinite Campus, to make contact with parents of our students in the event of a change in school schedule. I encourage all parents to log-in to their Infinite Campus accounts and update their contact information. Our system will contact all parents by phone, email or text within approximately 10 minutes of when the call is initiated, but the system must have accurate information available so we know all parents are receiving the message. In addition to the alert system, I will also be contacting the four major television stations in the Twin Cities area as well as WCCO radio to have them make the announcement as well. If we plan on closing school for the day or having a late start, we try to make that decision by 6 a.m. in an effort to get word out to parents who may have to make adjustments in their daily routine. As always, if you have any questions about school matters, please feel free to call me at 873-2400 or check our website at www.belleplaine.k12.mn.us. Go Tigers!

Belle Plaine Police Have Extra Seat Carver Sets Preliminary 2013 Belt Patrols on Duty This Month Property Tax Levy at 2012 Level Extra seat belt patrols take to or behind the back.
the roads in Belle Plaine and across the state Oct. 12–26 as part of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety’s “Clickit-or-Ticket” campaign. The Belle Plaine Police Department is among nearly 400 Minnesota agencies increasing patrols to encourage motorists to buckle up. In the last three years on Minnesota roads, 377 motorists killed in crashes were not buckled up, representing 43 percent of the total motorist deaths. Of those killed, 41 percent were motorists ages 16–29. “Non-belt use is a major problem with teens and young adults, and as a result, they are over-represented in traffic deaths,” says Belle Plaine Chief of Police Tom Stolee. “One excuse we hear is ‘belts aren’t comfortable,’ well, neither are hospital beds.” In Minnesota, drivers and passengers in all seating positions, including the back seat, are required to be buckled up or seated in the correct child restraint. Officers will stop and ticket unbelted drivers or passengers. Seat belts must be worn correctly — low and snug across the hips; shoulder straps should never be tucked under an arm
Why Buckle Up?
In rollover crashes, unbelted motorists are usually ejected from the vehicle. In most cases, the vehicle will roll over them. Often, unbelted motorists will crack teeth out on steering wheels or break their nose, and even slam into and injure or kill others in the vehicle. Properly wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of fatal injury to front seat passenger occupants by 45 percent in a car and 60 percent in a light truck. Seat belts are the most effective means of protecting oneself from injury while riding in a vehicle. In a crash, odds are six-times greater for injury if a motorist is not buckled up.
Child Passenger Safety
The enforcement campaign will include enforcement of Minnesota’s child passenger safety law which requires use of booster seats. Children should start riding in a booster seat starting around age 4. It is safest for children to remain in a booster until they are 4 feet 9 inches tall or at least age 8. Boosters help adult seat belts fit children correctly.
Promoting the Message
The Belle Plaine Police Department stresses the importance to promote the seat belt enforcement to encourage belt use. “The last thing we care to do is write seat belt tickets,” Stolee said. “We are encouraging that motorists be the true enforcers of the law and speak up to remind others to belt up.” The enforcement will be accompanied by a paid media push, featuring a dramatic TV spot that equates a 60 mph crash with no seat belt to falling from a 12-story building. The Click-It-or-Ticket seat belt enforcement and education campaign is a component of the state’s Toward Zero Death (TZD) initiative. A primary vision of the TZD program is to create a safe driving culture in Minnesota in which motorists support a goal of zero road fatalities by practicing and promoting safe and smart driving behavior. TZD focuses on the application of four strategic areas to reduce crashes — education, enforcement, engineering and emergency trauma response.
Carver won’t collect any more money from city taxpayers in 2013 than it did in 2012 now that the city council has set its preliminary levy. Councilors recently voted 4-0 to set the 2013 preliminary levy at $1.87 million – the same amount the city collected this year. The proposed levy includes $1.56 million for operations, a $65,076 increase from 2012. The levy for debt service is dropping, coincidentally, by $65,076. The city’s debt service is dropping in 2013, thanks to lower interest rates on bonds issued in 2010. The council’s unanimous vote on the preliminary levy came after two workshops in August. The amount individual taxpayers will pay could change, thanks to changes in valuation. Most houses in Carver lost value, an average of 10.21 percent in 2012. Overall, the city’s market value dropped from $327 million to $309 million, a decrease of 5.42 percent. The gains the city realized came from new residential and commercial construction, most

Former Pillow Plant Could Become Storage, Housing With My Pillow making the jump from Carver to Shakopee, one of Carver’s largest commercial buildings needs a use. Landlords Jeanette and Dick Lenzen are proposing seeking approval to transform the building from a manufacturing plant to indoor storage, a move city planners say would give them time to consider a long-term use for the 4.2-acre parcel and building at 920 Sixth Street W. Carver City Planner said transforming the site to a storage facility would buy the landowners time to plan and prepare for a housing subdivision that would give them eight or nine

Cologne Puts Administrator On Indefinite Paid Leave Douville Wants Independent Inquiry. He Fears Issue Could Cost Taxpayers $40k by John Mueller For the third time this year, the Cologne City Council has placed City Administrator John Douville on administrative indefinite leave following an allegation of alleged misconduct for reasons it will not state. Following a hastily called emergency closed session Tuesday (Oct. 2), the council voted 4-1 to present Douville a letter placing him on indefinite paid administrative leave of absence. Councilor Matt Lein voted against placing Douville on leave saying councilors were only given a few minutes to review the letter and required to vote on it without discussion. “This is ridiculous,” Lein said before the vote. Mayor Bernie Shambour declined comment on the council’s decision or what led to it. He also would not answer questions on the matter, referring inquires to City Attorney Kelly Dohm of Melchert, Hubert & Sjodin. Citing the data practices act, she also declined to respond to any questions on the issue or the way the council is handling the issue, including the number of closed sessions the council has held regarding allegations against Douville over the past five months or the cost to Cologne taxpayers. She said the newspaper would have to pay a fee for the assem-
bling of that public information. The council scheduled two additional closed meetings for this week, on Monday (Oct. 8) and tonight (Oct. 10), one to deal with a wastewater treatment staff contract and the other with an employee issue not directly involving Douville. Douville had requested a portion of the Oct. 2 meeting be open to the public. The council did not identify the reason for placing him on leave during the open portion of the meeting and did not afford him the opportunity to defend himself during the meeting. Douville said he has only been told one of the allegations against him and is still waiting for written documentation of the other claims against him. “They’re refusing to say what they are,” Douville said. Lein said the overall issue involves “John’s management style.”
Most Recent Charge
Douville said the most recent claim against him came from his handling of an employee discipline issue last week. After witnessing employee misconduct Sept. 18, he asked the council to investigate and provide appropriate discipline. He said the direction from the city council was to do nothing about the incident or discipline the employee with a written reprimand. With a councilor present, he issued the employee a written reprimand last Monday. The employee complained about the discipline to the personnel committee, a complaint Douville believes led to his being placed on leave. Douville filed a grievance against the city’s personnel com-
Scott County to Offer Well Water Testing Nitrate is a common contaminant found in many wells throughout Minnesota. Shallow wells, dug wells and wells with damaged or leaking casings are the most vulnerable to nitrate contamination. Major sources of nitrate contamination can often be from fertilizers, animal waste and human sewage. It is highly recommended to test your drinking water supply on a regular basis. Residents who want to check the drinking water from their private wells for nitrates will have the opportunity to do so from 2-6 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at the Scott County Public Works facility on Highway 282. The walk-in clinic, sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, Scott County Environmental Health and Scott Soil and Water Conservation District, is free and open to the general public; no appointments are necessary. Elevated levels of nitrate in drinking water can cause Blue Baby Syndrome in bottle-fed infants who are under six months of age. Long-term health effects to older children and healthy adults exposed to elevated levels of nitrate in their drinking water are not yet known or agreed upon in the scientific community. However, the National Cancer Institute suggests a link between elevated levels of nitrate in drinking water and an increased risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (a cancer of
the lymphatic system). In 2011, more than 2,000 samples were analyzed during nitrate testing clinics in 41 counties across Minnesota. Approximately 6.5 percent of all samples taken were over 10mg/ L (the level considered toxic for infants and young children). The median concentration for all samples was 0.7 mg/L, and the maximum 72 mg/L. You are encouraged to test all the wells on your property (house, barn, irrigation, etc.). Also, you may collect neighbors’ or relatives’ samples and bring them in for analysis. If you have a water treatment unit that reduces or removes nitrate-nitrogen such as a reverse osmosis unit or a distiller, feel free to collect a sample before treatment and after treatment to ensure the treatment system is working properly. It is not necessary to collect a sample from before and after a water softener. A softener does not reduce nitrate, and the nitrate result will be the same before and after treatment. Each year, you should test your water for both nitrate and bacteria. Keep a running record of all water tests performed from year to year in a file. Tracking increasing or decreasing nitrate levels through time is an excellent research tool.

13th Annual
mittee early last month for its handling of allegations against him. The committee consists of Shambour and Councilor Jill Skaaland. Douville said he wants an unbiased third-party investigation of the allegations against him. Douville objected to the Oct. 2 closed session because the council did not give the public 72 hours public notice as required by the Minnesota Open Meeting Law. The council scheduled the closed session as an emergency closed session, one of several emergency closed sessions it has held the past few months. Douville believes “emergency sessions” are intended for use in situations like natural disasters. Dohm immediately rejected Douville’s objection at the meeting because the council deemed the charges against Douville worthy of an “emergency” status because the issue required immediate consideration by the city council. Douville noted his performance reviews the past eight years have been outstanding and that his work has consistently earned excellent ratings, a statement Lein supported. Earlier this summer, Douville was presented with a personal improvement plan he was required to follow. At his last meeting with members of the personnel committee, he said there were “no negative comments” regarding his efforts at personal improvement. Saying he would like to remain with the city, Douville is concerned about the effects the inquiry and unstated allegations of alleged misconduct over the past five months. He also worried about the cost to Cologne’s taxpayers, lost productivity and impact on staff morale. The city budgeted $3,500 for legal fees in 2012. Last week, the council approved a $10,614 bill from Melchert, Hubert & Sjodin for miscellaneous legal fees during August. Douville is concerned the Dohm’s bill could reach $40,000 by the end of September.

Scott County Among Those With Burning Restrictions The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has added counties in the central and southeast portions of the state to the burning restrictions already in place in northwestern and north-central Minnesota. The additional counties were placed under tighter restrictions as of 1 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 7. The new counties having limitations placed on campfires and open burning include: Aitkin, Anoka, Carlton, Carver, Cass, Chisago, Crow Wing, Dakota, Fillmore, Goodhue, Hennepin, Houston, Isanti, Olmsted, Pine, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Wabasha, Washington, Winona, and Wright. These counties are in addition to the 22 counties that were put under restrictions on Sept. 23. There are now 43 counties under the Commissioner’s Order, prohibiting open fires other than the types of campfires described below, which can be no more than 3 feet in diameter and height. Campfires or recreational fires outside municipalities are allowed only in a designated receptacle designed for such use and associated with a residence, staffed campgrounds such as state parks, or resorts. No burning permits will be issued to the general public and use of fireworks will not be allowed outside of municipalities. Counties in southwestern Minnesota have also implemented restrictions, but these vary by county. Check the DNR website at www.mndnr.gov for counties that have stricter regulations in place. Contact local sheriff’s offices for exact regulations. The severe drought and windy weather has brought wildfire

conditions to the point that fires start easily from sparks or windblown embers and spread extremely fast. Presently, without the ability to use water to drown campfires, it will be difficult to properly extinguish them. The DNR and other wildfire agencies in the state have brought in additional resources and placed them on a Level 5 alert, the highest planning level. The Minnesota Incident Command System agencies are concerned that prolonged lack of rainfall has allowed even the large woody debris and standing conifer trees to ignite easily as well as areas with peat soils. Both lead to difficult demands on firefighting resources to protect life and property. According to the DNR, fall weekends bring many people outdoors to recreate, including hunters, campers and others who want to have campfires. The DNR urges everyone to use extreme caution where campfires are allowed. Charcoal fires are not limited at this time, but they should not be left unattended. Make sure fires are completely out before leaving. Dry ground can burn. People are responsible for costs to extinguish a fire if it gets away. Recreationists should also pay attention to parking locations in the woods. Hot engines and catalytic converters can ignite fires, particularly in these dry conditions. Check that spark arrestors on recreational vehicles are working properly. Fire conditions change quickly.

October 10 is National Bring Your Teddy Bear To Work Day. I suspect that most of us had a teddy bear at one time. If not a teddy bear, it was some other stuffed cloth doll. This is an observance to recognize the pleasure and joy that these toys bring to people. It is not just for kids either. Consider the competition to get the Santa Bears some years ago. People take their teddy bears seriously. It may not be the same as going to work, but for the remainder of the week, all teddy bears are welcome and if your young reader would like to show it to us and tell us about it, we would be glad to hear what they have to say. There are conflicting details of the origin of the teddy bear. The most common and agreed upon story was that in November 1902, President Teddy Roosevelt was on an unsuccessful hunting trip when they spotted a bear that was more or less cornered. His advisers suggested he should shoot it rather than come home empty handed. They were afraid the press might make fun of his hunting skills. President Roosevelt refused because he felt no hunting skill would be involved. The press did grab the story and instead of making fun of the president, they largely commended his kind act toward the bear. A cartoonist named Clifford Berryman drew a bear in his weekly panel about “Teddy’s Bear”. A store owner in Brooklyn, New York saw the cartoon and started making the toys. As a result, we can look ahead to November 14 which is American Teddy Bear Day. There is one teddy bear that we all have in common. His real name is Edward Bear but he is better known as Pooh, or Winnie the Pooh. The Alen Alexander Milne stories of Winnie the Pooh and all of Christopher Robin’s friends are still a mainstay of our young readers. They are also a favorite for parents to read for their kids. Try reading Winnie the Pooh to a child and I promise you that you will feel West Court Street reported at good about the adventure.

DNR, 4-Wheel Group Harvest Hunt Coin Still Hiding Returning to Old V & S Site
If all the moving parts come together as expected, another step toward cleaning up the old V & S auto salvage yard in Belle Plaine will be completed later this month. The city, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Union Pacific Railroad, the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District and Minnesota Four Wheel Drive Association are working on a partnership that will allow another cleanup effort Oct. 27. The aim of the cleanup effort is removing from the site more scrap metal, remnants of cars and trucks plus unmounted tires, said Paul Nordell, program coordinator for the DNR’s parks and trails division. But before the cleanup work
can resume, the city is working on improving the access road to the former auto salvage yard. The city is repacking the gravel section of Cherry Street north of Forest Street in the northwest corner of the city. The approximately $21,000 project also includes new culvert work under the railroad and other efforts to divert water away from the gravel roadway so it remains usable. “There will still be water, but were going to try and slow it down,” said Al Fahey, Belle Plaine’s Public Works superintendent. Once street and culvert work are completed, the DNR will bring in 20 roll-off dumpsters for the cleanup effort at a cost of approximately $7,500. The
mosquito control district will haul away the old unmounted tires, Nordell said. The fourwheel group will help with removing the heavy remnants of old vehicles and other auto parts. Nordell said the project will be successful because of the groups working in concert. “It’ll be a beautiful project if we can pull it off,” he said. “There are groups working really well together.” The auto salvage business was operated from the late-1960s to the late-1990s. A variety of cleanup efforts since the early2000s have made a significant dent in the waste left behind, Nordell said. “We’ve got between 80 and 85 percent out and there’s a ton of it still there,” he said.
Cologne Fire Dept. Completes Implementing FEMA Grant The Cologne Fire and Rescue Department recently announced it has completed the implementation of the federal Assistance to Firefighters grant the department received last year from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). “This grant has given the county a brand new, state-ofthe-art paging system for the fire departments in the county,” said Cologne Firefighter Dan Klein, task force leader for the project. The $517,000 grant allowed the fire departments in Carver County to build a six-tower simulcast paging system for emergency response paging. The county used a five-tower system that only allowed pages to come off a single tower. The new system allows the page to be sent off all six towers at the same time, giving the system a much wider coverage area.
The new system also allows firefighters to hear both sides of a conversation between firefighters and a dispatcher on the ARMER Radio System on their pagers. Previously, firefighters could only hear the dispatcher’s side of the conversation, Klein said. “This gives fire officers and firefighters the ability to hear units checking into service so we can ensure we have enough people and units responding,” said Cologne Fire Chief Charles Joos. The new paging system also includes an independent twotower emergency backup. The emergency system would allow firefighters to be paged if the primary system fails. The Cologne Fire and Rescue Department applied for the grant in 2010 on behalf of all fire departments in Carver County. A total of $517,000 was awarded
from FEMA. Carver County chipped in $129,250 to cover the required 20 percent match. “The fire departments and the cities in the county are very grateful to the county for covering our match, Joos said. “This would have been a big burden on the city’s budget had we had to cover it,” said John Douville Cologne city administrator. Along with the new paging system, the county fire departments each received a new pager for every firefighter, a programmer for the pagers, and a new laptop for use in fire prevention and with the pager programmers. “This new system will serve our county for the next 20-plus years,” Klein said. “For 20 cents on the dollar, the citizens of Carver County have got a great system.”
Jordan School Board Eyeing Possible Building Referendum
After two years of discussions on how to address the shortcomings of Jordan Middle School, the Jordan School District is considering a referendum for next spring, asking voters to consider approving millions of dollars for improvements at the 40-plus-year-old building. A spring election would follow months of proposed public involvement between the school board, an architect from DLR Group and residents. The referendum could raise funding for improvements at the mid-
dle school, enhancements that would include upgrades to the building’s inefficient mechanical, electrical, insulation and air-quality systems. Informal estimates on the cost of improvements could range from $12 to $24 million, depending on the scope of the work. The district plans to hire a demographer to assemble data on the district and its residents, information the board can use to make decisions. Directors will also meet individually with an

The rest of the increase is attributed to previous adjustments and debt service, according to Sandy Linn, the district’s finance director. The increase in the preliminary levy comes after reductions in each of the past two years. The current levy, Linn said, is less than the levy the board OK’d for 2010. The preliminary levy can only be reduced or maintained when the board sets the final 2013 levy in December. -- New Prague Times

“We focus on creating learning environments that most effectively meet the academic needs of all students,” said Lynn Gluck, the school’s executive director. “By creating a grade-less classroom for our third through eighth grade students in our MUM and MUR programs, students are able to make significant academic gains by grouping them with other students who are at the same academic level for each lesson.” Cologne Academy’s progressive approach allows for an education tailored to each student, instead of the traditional approach where the student has to tailor oneself to the preset
education plan. The MUM and MUR programs are just two examples of Cologne Academy’s progressive educational programing that creates environments allowing each teacher to give every student more individualized attention. Cologne Academy is a tuition-free kindergarten through eighth grade public charter school in Cologne. It opened in 2008. The academy is committed to providing a well-rounded, quality education built around individual student achievement, student character development, enriched curriculum, parental involvement, and small class sizes.

Tigers Drop Thriller to Giants by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine and Le SueurHenderson volleyball teams engaged in another of their annual back-and-forth clashes and Thursday night’s was perhaps the most explosive yet as the Giants won in five sets, all but one of which was decided by two points. The loss put a dent in Belle Plaine’s hopes of winning a second-straight MRC title outright as this match, unlike the Tigers’ 3-1 victory at Le Sueur in the season opener, will count in the MRC standings. Belle Plaine and LS-H are currently tied for second place at 4-1 in MRC play. Mayer Lutheran is 5-0. The Tigers still have a good chance of at least sharing the 2012 MRC crown as they will host the Crusaders in a conference showdown on Oct. 16. Belle Plaine will travel to TriCity United for a MRC contest this Thursday night. Next Monday, the Tigers will host Class 3A power Waconia, which defeated Belle Plaine in a tournament in Marshall a month ago. Tigers 3, New Prague 1 The Tigers got last week started on the right side of the net as they defeated the home-team Trojans 25-19, 23-25, 25-22, 25-14 last Tuesday. “New Prague is improving each year we see them. They had some big swingers on the outside and good middle, enough to keep us on our toes for all four sets,” said Tigers coach Cassie Wolpern. “Our focus was lacking a bit, as we struggled with our timing and ball control through the
first few sets. Fortunately, we served well, keeping them out of system often and not allowing them to use their powerful attackers as much.” Kirsten Johnson, Mariena Hayden and Marykay Nasby each had 10 kills for the Tigers, the latter of whom also had a team-high five service aces. Haley Fogarty chipped in nine kills, followed by Jordan Going (6), Amara Meyer (4) and Ellie Murphy (1). Hayden had 20 digs, while Johnson and Devin Lehman had 26 and 17 set assists, respectively. Claire Otto had 14 digs. LS-H 3, Tigers 2 In what may have been a preview of things to come, possibly the section championship later this fall, that fans got their money’s worth in this marathon match that ended in favor of the visiting Giants by counts of 2325, 25-20, 25-23, 23-25, 15-17. “It was the show that everyone was expecting as the gym was crowded with fans from both schools,” Wolpern said. “Although we didn’t come out on top, we took a lot away from this battle. We were able to test our conditioning in a match that lasted two hours, play under pressure as each set was decided by five or less, and take mental notes for the situation that is likely to repeat at the end of October. The difference on our side of the court was individual performances. Our team typically provides threats from each position on the court. Against LS-H, a few players played outstanding, a few played consistently and a
few struggled. We all need to be on the same page and doing our parts to beat any great team.” Fogarty had 16 kills, followed by Going and Nasby with 13 apiece. Hayden and Johnson both had 11. Meyer added three and Otto one. Johnson had three service aces and Hayden two. The dig leaders were Hayden (15), Johnson (14), Otto (12) and Fogarty (10).

Belle Plaine’s Cameron Klehr, who suffered a head injury in the second half, was taken by ambulance to an area hospital shortly after the game ended. He was treated and released. Up next for the Tigers is this Friday’s 7 p.m. clash with the Giants at Le Sueur-Henderson High School. The Giants are directed this season by new head coach Mike May, a 2006 graduate of LS-H. He takes over for Terry Turek, who resigned after coaching the team for more than 25 years. Under May, the low-scoring Giants have a 2-4 record this season, which includes 2-3 in the MRC. They are coming off a 7-0 win at Jordan. LS-H opened the season with a 34-7 loss at St. Peter. The Giants then won their MRC opener against Norwood Young America 2926 before losing their next three – 9-7 to Mayer Lutheran, 28-7 to Watertown-Mayer and 29-6 to Tri-City United. 2012 BPHS Football Results and Remaining Schedule Aug. 30 vs. N.

Blue Earth Eliminates Belle Plaine From Section Team Tournament
The Belle Plaine High School tennis team had its season come to an end Thursday in deep southern Minnesota, where Blue Earth Area bounced the Tigers from the Section 2A Tournament with a 6-1 victory. The match was played in very windy conditions, with some gusts of 45 miles per hour. “We lost 1-6 but we had many close matches,” said Belle Plaine coach Annette Moylan. “Blue Earth has only six courts, so No. 1 singles had to start last. After the first half-hour, we were ahead in four of six matches and things were looking bright. We just couldn’t close the deal on the third set.” Moylan added that three of the matches lasted 2 1/2 hours.

“I was proud of our girls. They fought to the bitter end,” continued Moylan. Belle Plaine, which finished the team season 4-4 in the Minnesota River Conference, 8-13 overall, defeated Tri-City United in the play-in round last Monday to earn its quarterfinal trip to Blue Earth Area, which was the tournament’s No. 2 seed. Waseca, the top seed, cruised to the championship and will represent Section 2A at the state tournament. The Tigers’ only win against Blue Earth Area came from the No. 1 doubles team of Allison Stolee and Jane Schneider, who posted a 6-4, 6-4 triumph. Losing in three sets were the No. 2 doubles team of Sophie Brazil and Jamie Read, who went down 6-4, 6-7, 5-7; and the No. 3 doubles duo of Kaisa Hallgren and Meghan Gavin, who fell 7-6, 2-6, 5-7. In No. 4 singles, the Tigers’ Kate Savage stormed to a 6-1 victory but then lost the next two sets 0-6, 1-6.

by Dan Ruud The Belle Plaine High School football team played its homecoming game Friday night – and based on the result (a 366 loss to Mayer Lutheran) – it’s unlikely the Tigers will be coming home again this season. Belle Plaine plays its final two regular season games on the road this Friday and next Wednesday nights, and even if it wins both games, would finish the season with just three wins, which normally results in a road game at a higher seed in the section tournament. The Tigers, 0-5 in the Minnesota River Conference, 1-5 overall, will receive their postseason seed next week. The Crusaders improved to 4-1 in the MRC, 5-1 overall.

The Tigers did toss one interception late in the quarter that led to an 18yard scoring pass from Mayer Lutheran’s Jeremiah Grimsley to Cole Buttenhoff that made it 7-0 with 1:22 left in the first quarter. Another Tiger turnover (a fumble) midway through the second quarter led to another Crusader touchdown as running back Joel Burfeind rumbled 21 yards to make it 14-0 with 5:37 left in the half. A blocked punt led to Mayer Lutheran’s third touchdown of the first half, taking possession at the Belle Plaine 14 yard line. This time Phillip Burfeind plunged in from 2 yards out and the Crusaders would head into the warmth of their school bus with a 21-0 lead at intermission. It became 28-0 early in the second half as Mayer Lutheran marched 76 yards in just over two minutes.

He and officer Matt Brandt used an automatic external defibrillator (AED). They shocked Wick’s heart four times trying to restore it to its normal beating rhythm.
