On Aug. 22, Branson Mecredy, son of David and Su-san Mecredy, was awarded the highest honor in Scouting – the rank of Eagle. The ceremony was held at St. John’s Lutheran Church.For the Mecredy family,

achieving the rank of Eagle is more than just a level up. It’s a family tradition and has been so since 1919. In nearly every gen-eration, the boys in the Mecredy clan have endured the rigors of Scouting to achieve Eagle.Attaining the rank of Eagle

Scout is not for the faint of heart. A boy enters the Troop simply as a Scout and must

graduate through six different ranks before attaining Eagle. Each rank is a maturing experi-ence, asking for increasing lev-els of responsibility, manage-ment and perpetuation of the Scout Oath and Law.To become an Eagle, the Scout

must plan and carry out a ser-vice project that benefits the community. Branson Mecredy’s Eagle Scout project was the building of a patio and fire-place for His Haven Ranch in Le Center. Part of becoming an Eagle Scout is earning at least 21 merit badges. Branson is the proud bearer of 24, including small boat sailing and personal

fitness, his favorites.Branson has been an active

member of Belle Plaine’s Troop 324. He has participated in a dozen camping trips, a few at which he temporarily acted as a bugler. Branson also has filled positions of leadership, includ-ing Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader and Quartermaster.“Despite all of the challenges

of scouting, it was very re-warding to accomplish,” states

Mecredys A Family of Eagles

Joining Branson Mecredy (center) at his Eagle scout ceremony recently were two other mem-bers of his family who are Eagle scouts – cousin Randy Mecredy (left), from Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Branson’s father David Mecredy.

The Belle Plaine City Council was expected to make the hir-ing of Cynthia Smith-Strack as community development direc-tor official at Tuesday night’s meeting.The hiring comes two months

after Chelsea Alger left the job, which she held for a little over two years, to accept another job offer.Smith-Strack is co-owner

(with Joanne Foust) of Mu-nicipal Development Group (MDG) in New Prague, where she has worked since 2001.MDG provides city planning,

economic development and grant writing services to mu-nicipalities across the state.Smith-Strack’s responsibilities

have included leading numer-

ous planning and community development projects. Some of those communities have in-cluded Alexandria, Arlington, Clear Lake, Mayer, Norwood Olivia, Young America, Rich-

mond, St. Joseph, Waite Park and Winsted.Smith-Strack also worked

briefly with the city of Belle Plaine a number of years ago as an administrative assistant and ambulance coordinator.The city received 11 applica-

tions for the job, having ad-vertised the position with the League of Minnesota Cities, Minnesota Planning Associa-tion and Economic Develop-ment Association of Minne-sota. Interviews were held with Smith-Strack and three other top candidates.“The personnel committee vot-

Signing in for 2015-16Max Ponath, left, and Ryan Bremseth-Vining were among the many students activating their iPads before the start of the first day of classes at Belle Plaine Junior/Senior High School Tues-day morning. The school was expecting some 727 students in grades 7-12. The total public el-ementary school enrollment (Chatfield and Oak Crest) in Belle Plaine is forecast at 882, which would bring the total number of public school students in Belle Plaine to 1,609. Oak Crest and Chatfield elementary schools begin classes this Thursday.

Associate PastorPastor Sarah Timian, a native of North Dakota, joined St. John Lutheran Church in Belle Plaine as associate pastor on Sept. 1, joining longtime Pastor Mark Johnson. Timian did her undergraduate studies at Concordia College in Moorhead before enrolling at Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettys-burg, Penn. She spent the past three years (2012-15) at her first call – Hope Lutheran Church in Wautoma, Wis.

Overpass Plans Approved by Mn/DOT, Bid Letting Next

In this week’s report to the Belle Plaine City Council, City Engineer Joe Duncan said the final plans for the Enterprise Drive extension and overpass project were approved and signed by the Minnesota De-partment of Transportation (Mn/DOT) on Aug. 19. The advertisement of bids began online and in the regional pub-lication on Aug. 21.

The letting is scheduled for Sept. 16 with results to be pre-sented to the council on Sept. 21.

“Assuming favorable bids, the council will consider an award contingent on Mn/DOT concurrence of the low bid, reported Duncan. “Upon Mn/DOT concurrence and after a cooperative agreement has been signed by both parties, the successful contractor will be notified of the award and a preconstruction meeting can be scheduled.”

Duncan added that completion of the project is scheduled for fall of 2016, with an intermedi-ate completion of the approach embankments, etc. this fall.

OLP Fall Festival SundayOur Lady of the Prairie Cath-

olic Church will host its an-nual fall festival on the church grounds on Sunday, Sept. 14.

The event begins with Mass at 10 a.m., followed by a chicken and ham dinner until 2 p.m. Dinner is $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 3 to 12 and free

for children under 3. All take-out orders are $10.

The Ernie Stumpf Band will provide music and a wood and quilt auction is slated for 2 p.m. Other activities include a coun-try store, bingo, crafts, raffle, children’s games, refreshments and a food stand.

Tuesday morning (Sept. 8), Caycie and Nick Volek and their daughter, Presley, dropped off dozens of backpacks and plen-ty of school supplies donated to Belle Plaine students through Presley’s Backpack Program. Pictured are (back row, from left) Chatfield Elementary School Counselor Britney Gor-res, Presley’s teacher Maria Fadden, Nick and Caycie Volek, Chatfield Elementary Principal Kim DeWitte and (front) Presley Volek.

Response to Presley’s Backpack Program is ‘Overwhelming’

Presley Volek is too young to comprehend the response to the backpack program she in-spired. Her desire to make sure every child in Belle Plaine had a backpack to start the school year went beyond any realistic expectation.“Presley thinks it’s cool and

neat,” said her mom, Caycie Volek. “She has no idea of what her idea has created or how many kids in different commu-nities she has helped. It’s over-whelming.”By Sept. 1, the drive raised

137 backpacks, 85 of which will go to Belle Plaine students. Yesterday (Tuesday, Sept. 8), the 5-year-old and her mom de-livered the backpacks to Chat-field Elementary School. Do-nors also have given 300 boxes of Crayons, “a zillion pencils, boxes and boxes and boxes of notebooks and folders,” more bottles of glue than she can count, markers, 25 headphones and about $330 in cash.The money, Volek said, will be

used to buy hats, gloves, coats and boots for children who need them this winter.The donations will initially go

to help Belle Plaine students, Volek said. She will also give some of the items to an elemen-tary school in Hudson, Wis. where her sister, Shannon Sexe, teaches kindergarten.Having spoken with staff at

Belle Plaine Schools to make sure local needs were met, Volek said the program can help people in Shakopee and other area school districts.

BP No. 1 Priority“Belle Plaine will always be

our No. 1 priority,” Volek said.In addition to donations for

everyday folks, Volek truly ap-preciates donations from busi-nesses. Betaseed in Shakopee gave 25 backpacks and supplies that will go to Volek’s sister.She’s working to set up a

deal with Belle Plaine schools where needy families can re-ceive school supplies through donated gift cards from Wal-

mart in Shakopee. Volek has already created a similar agree-ment with the Shakopee School District.Until yesterday, Volek’s base-

ment was crowded with donat-ed school supplies. She is now planning to set up a non-profit group – Presley’s Backpack Foundation – to help needy children receive donated school supplies.The essence of the program

dates back to an emotional

discussion Volek had with her daughter earlier this summer. On the way home from a dance class one evening, Volek told her daughter she’d purchased a new backpack for the start of the school year and that her old backpack could be donated to a child that didn’t have a back-pack to start the school year.A kindergartner, Presley

Belle Plaine Boys Win Mankato East Invitational; Girls Take 3rdby Dan RuudThe Belle Plaine High School

boys’ and girls’ cross country teams got the regular season started at last Tuesday’s six-team Mankato East Invitation-al, where the Belle Plaine boys took first and the girls third in what was hot (upper 80s) and humid conditions.This marks the first year in

which the girls varsity run-ners cover the same distance as the boys – 5,000 meters (3.1 miles), as opposed to previous years when the girls’ course was 4,000 meters (2.5 miles).The change, which is wel-

comed by some and not so much by others, makes Minne-sota the 45th state nationwide to make the girls’ distance the same as the boys’ distance, with wisconsin having become the 44th in May of 2014.Next up for the Tigers is the

Titan Invitational this Thursday at Montgomery National Golf Club, which is one of the largest annual cross country meets in southern Minnesota with more than two dozen schools repre-sented. Races are scheduled to begin at about 4:30 p.m.

Boys’ Mankato East Results

Belle Plaine, fueled by five top 13 finishers among 92 runners, took first place with a team tally of 48. Orono was second with 59, followed by host Mankato East (64), Minnesota Valley Lu-theran (104), Blue Earth Area (113) and Sibley East (128).The Tigers’ top five runners

and their overall placings were Kellen Bergs (fourth in 18:49), Elliott Rudd (ninth in 19:24), Dylan Bigaouette (10th in 19:27), Kyle Siemon (12th in 19:41) and Sam Gregory (13th in 19:45).The individual medalist was

Orono’s Richard Beck, whose time of 17:05 was 50 seconds ahead of second-place Brandon Steffl of Minnesota Valley Lu-theran.

Girls’ Mankato East Results

Plenty of heat and humidity was in place for the debut of the 5,000-meter course for the girls’ varsity race, in which some 70 runners competed.Orono was the runaway win-

ner after placing six runners in the top 10, including individual medalist Sarah Harrison, whose

time of 19:11 was 48 seconds ahead of Ivy Glade of Mankato East.Orono had 22 team points, fol-

lowed by Mankato East (47), Belle Plaine (62), Sibley East (92), Minnesota Valley Luther-an (92) and Blue Earth Area (120).Emily Berger logged the

Tigers’ fastest time (22:18), which was good for seventh place overall.Rounding out Belle Plaine’s

top five runners and their places and times were McKenna Her-rmann (12th in 23:42), Cas-sandra Stolt (14th in 23:46), Danika Schroeder (15th in 23:49) and Alissa Schultz (18th in 24:21).“We had a good showing,”

said Tigers boys and girls coach Steve Schroeder. “The boys put themselves in a position to win right from the start and hung on in quite warm conditions. The girls looked good, starting a little quick and realizing the distance was not as bad as they thought. we look to continue to improve and compete at a high level.”

Tigers Season in Reviewby Manager Mike SchultzThe Belle Plaine Tigers ama-

teur baseball team has enjoyed a pretty good last decade, and because of this, came into most of those seasons with lofty ex-pectations.Belle Plaine has made the

state tournament in each of the past six years and eight of the last nine. In those seasons, just making the state tournament wasn’t enough to make the sea-son a success – rather playing well and winning games in the state tournament was.Much of this success was due

to a pretty constant core group of players. After the Tigers lost in the second round of the 2014 Class C state tournament, a large portion of that core group left the team for a myriad of reasons, including family de-mands, time constraints and new dogs.In 2015, the Tigers started the

season without four of their best hitters and four of their top pitchers from the previ-ous year. They also added five high school players to the ros-ter, along with several players just out of high school. To say expectations were much lower for the 2015 season would have been a gross understatement.I think at the beginning of the

season not even the biggest of homers probably would have placed a bet on Belle Plaine to make the state tourney; only the players and some board mem-bers thought it was possible.The Tigers did not disappoint

all those who predicted a de-cline, finishing at 11-20 over-all and 5-6 in the River Valley League. They started the sea-son 0-4 and bottomed out on June 16 with a 2-11 record after getting no-hit by the Prior Lake Jays’ Tyler Edwards.

from there, Belle Plaine sort of caught fire and finished with an 8-8 record the rest of the way. Not a great record, but three of those wins were in the playoffs, which was good enough for (ar-guably) a 17th-place finish at the state tournament.The Tigers’ playoffs started in

the friendly confines of Tiger Park against the Arlington A’s. Derek Dahlke got the start on the mound and ended up col-lecting the win, chucking seven scoreless frames. Josh Terrio threw the final two innings and gave up no runs. Dylan Nyberg paced the hitters with a pair of knocks.Next up for the Tigers were

the Saints of St. Peter and their ace Matt Lewis. Ben wagner got the start on the mound in this contest and threw five-plus innings to garner the win in this state-qualifying game. Josh Ter-rio again came in to pitch and earned a save the hard way – by throwing four innings of score-less baseball. Derek Dahlke had the big hit, a two-run shot in the first inning that gave Belle Plaine a lead it wouldn’t squan-der. A couple veterans who stuck around combined to add a run in the third inning, with Travis Latzke getting hit by a pitch, stealing second and scor-ing on a single by Pat Schultz. Belle Plaine held on for a 3-2 win and an improbable trip to the state tournament.In the opening round of the

tourney, the Tigers matched up against the Hadley Buttermak-ers and came away with a 3-2 triumph. Derek Dahlke got the start and win by tossing six in-nings of scoreless ball. Josh Terrio and Gaylord draftee Trevor Vaubel combined to throw the final three innings to secure the victory. Nyberg hit his team-leading fifth home, a

two-run bomb, with Pat Schultz adding Belle Plaine’s third and final RBI of the game.The Hampton Cardinals de-

railed the Tiger Train the fol-lowing weekend, handing them an 11-1 whooping in seven in-nings. Tiger draftees Vaubel and the New ulm Kaiserhoff’s Nick Dewanz both pitched in that game and we would like to thank them for their presence during the state tourney.A lot was made this season

about how young the Tigers would be and how much talent was lost from the previous year. The youngsters didn’t disap-point, with many of them play-ing key roles throughout the year. what wasn’t talked about as much was the veterans that hadn’t played much in previous years due to the talented play-ers ahead of them. Terrio, Ny-berg and Tyler Hartmann were the three players that benefitted most from the increase in play-ing time.Nyberg led the team with five

home runs, the highest home run total for Belle Plaine since former (and always) Tiger Tim Huber belted as many in 2011. Terrio ended up being the clos-er and did not disappoint in that role, collecting three saves with an ERA of 2.41, while also manning right field throughout the season. Hartmann was a stalwart in left field and in the lineup as well, working from the No. 8-spot in the lineup to the No. 2-hole over the course of the year. He ended the sea-son with a .253 batting aver-age, good for third-best on the team.Overall, team stats aren’t yet

available, but when they do come out they will show an overall increase in the team ERA and a decrease in the team batting average for a fourth straight season. That streak also coincides with Mike Schultz taking over the managing du-ties. Some might say that de-crease shows poor managing; others might say that he is do-ing more with less, as the Ti-gers have made the state tour-nament all four of those years. Dahlke finished the year with the best ERA at 2.32, and Pat Schultz again led the team in batting average after a two-year absence from the top spot, fin-ishing at .339.Although the year didn’t end

with a state championship – which is always the ultimate goal – numerous young play-ers got lots of great experience and several veterans got their chance to play and delivered.In 2016, the Tigers will roll on

with even more high-schoolers and maybe even a departed veteran or two returning to the team. Any vets will be wel-comed back with open arms, as once a Tiger – always a Tiger.

Town Tigers Baseball

The remainder of the second half belonged to Belle Plaine, which stayed in its no-huddle offense.On their second series, the Ti-

gers galloped 76 yards, the final six coming from sophomore running back Marcus walsh. Rueben Baltierrez booted what would be the first of five straight successful extra-point kicks to make it 7-2 late in the first quarter.for what would become a

theme the rest of the second half, Jordan’s offense went three and out. The Tigers manu-factured another scoring drive, with Walsh covering the final 7 yards to make it 14-2 with 11:35 left in the second quarter.It became 21-2 when Narveson

scored on a 21-yard run midway through the second quarter.The Tigers then got a safety of

their own when wally Schultz blocked a punt that was recov-ered by Jordan in its own end zone to extend the margin to 23-2 with 4:12 left in the first half.Belle Plaine added two more

touchdowns before the half finally expired. Accounting for them were Narveson on a 2-yard run and walsh (his third) on a 20-yard burst.Reserves played much of the

second half, the third quarter

of which was scoreless. Jordan scored a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter on a 39-yard run by Logan Gilbertson and a 6-yard catch by Austin Pelows-ki from quarterback Zach Kes to make the final 37-17.Belle Plaine improved its re-

cord to 3-0 on the season, while Jordan fell to 0-3.The Tigers had 398 yards on

offense, all but 30 of those com-ing on the ground. The Hubmen had 146 total yards.Walsh finished with 20 carries

for 186 yards and three TDs. Carter Brink rushed 10 times for 73 yards and Narveson had 10 keepers for 71 yards and two TDs. Jack fogarty rushed seven times for 28 yards.Narveson was three of eight

passing for 30 yards. The recip-ients of those completions were Brink (13 yards), Shane Buege (9 yards) and Mitch Stier (8 yards).The tackling leaders for the

Tigers were Alec Ruud (11), Danny McCann (9), Schultz (8), Tyler Grieves (6), Johnny Vinkemeier (6), Brink (5), Nathan Herman (5) and Jack Stauffacher (5).“The defensive effort was out-

standing once again – to only allow one first down in the first half other than one by pen-alty just shows how well they

played,” said Tigers coach Jus-tin Johnston. “The defense has really led the way to start the year. They are constantly giv-ing the offense the ball and usu-ally in excellent field position.“I thought the first half started

about as bad as it could with a safety, but I was very impressed with the way the kids respond-ed, especially the offensive line opening up big holes and allow-ing us to run for over 300 yards on the ground again. The kids know that the road is going to get tougher and all of us are re-ally embracing the challenge of playing the bigger schools this year,” Johnston continued.Next up for the Tigers is a

big test at waseca 7 p.m. this friday. The Bluejays are 2-1 on the season, having defeated Albert Lea 34-0 in the season opener, losing 35-0 to South Central District powerhouse Marshall in game two and beat-ing St. Peter 51-17 friday.

Tigers Flatten Giants in Openerby Dan RuudThe Belle Plaine High School

volleyball team did nothing to detract from its preseason No. 1 ranking in the state in Class 2A as it easily swept Le Sueur-Henderson in the season opener last Tuesday night at the BPHS gym.The match does not count in

the Minnesota River Confer-ence standings. The next one between the two teams on Sept. 17 will count.Belle Plaine was scheduled to

travel to Tri-City United Tues-day night after this edition of

the Herald went to press. Up next will be a battle with Class 2A No. 4-ranked Jordan 7 p.m. this Thursday. The match, which is sure to attract a mas-sive and vocal crowd, could go a long way toward establishing supremacy not only in the Min-nesota River Conference, but in Section 2AA, where a state tournament bid will be on the line this November.Jordan, which gave Class 3A

power Hopkins a battle before losing in four sets in its season opener two weeks ago, then dropped a five-setter to Class 2A power New Life Academy

before defeating Southwest Christian 3-0. Jordan’s match at Sibley East Thursday night was postponed to a later date due to the high condensation/humidity level in the Sibley East gym.

Tigers 3, Le Sueur-Hend. 0It took a little less than an hour

for the Tigers to dismantle the Giants before a large crowd at last Tuesday night’s season opener at the BPHS gym.The only downside for the Ti-

gers came in the third set, the fi-nal 34 points of which were di-vided equally (17-17) with the Giants. Fortunately for Belle Plaine, it started off the set with eight unanswered points.“The team played a solid

match to open the season,” said Belle Plaine coach Cassie Koch. “Their experience and drive for great success this sea-son presented less nerves than

2-3 overall, were scheduled to travel to defending MRC champion Le Sueur-Henderson Tuesday after this edition of the Herald went to press. The Gi-ants, who are heavy favorites to win the conference crown again this year, knocked off Tri-City United 7-0 and Jordan 5-2 in its first two conference matches of the season.

Tigers 7, SW Christian 0For the second Tuesday in a

row, Belle Plaine won all seven matches in straight sets, rout-ing Southwest Christian 7-0 on Sept. 1 at the Belle Plaine Ath-letic Complex. The Tigers had

ing kickoff and only got to the its own 14 yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, quar-terback Luke Narveson was sacked back at the 5 yard line. On the second play in shotgun formation, the snap from cen-ter sailed over Narveson’s head and through the end zone for a safety to give Jordan a 2-0 lead just 34 seconds into the game.Belle Plaine then kicked from

its own 20 yard line, setting up Jordan’s offense near midfield. The Hubmen got down to the Belle Plaine 24 yard line before being stopped on downs.

Beach Bleacher BumsSchool had not even started yet but that did not keep many members of the Belle Plaine High School cheering section from organizing a group theme for last Tuesday night’s season-opening volleyball match against Le Sueur-Henderson. Because the BPHS volleyball team had just returned from a training and bonding trip to Southern California, the cheering section decided to dress in beach garb as part of welcoming the players home and to show their support for the start of the new season.

Ann Robinson, left, administrator at The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine, congratulates social worker Sarah Beckius on her retirement after a combined 35 years at Hope Residence and TLH:BP.

She was 21-years-old and newly engaged when Sarah Beckius responded to an ad in the newspaper for a position at Hope Residence supporting residents dealing with disabili-ties.She got the job, wasn’t sure

it was the right fit and decided to give it a month. That was 35 years ago.September marks Beckius’

retirement from a remarkable career spent entirely at The Lu-theran Home Campus in Belle Plaine— her first 20 years at Hope and the remainder in skilled nursing. The reason she never left?“I wouldn’t have stayed if it

hadn’t been fun,” Beckius said. “you have to be happy where you work.”Originally, Beckius studied

special education in college. A course in social work changed her focus. As a social worker, she monitors the mood and cog-nition of residents, what they’re thinking and feeling, and con-nects them with resources they may need. She is a professional listener.“Sometimes that’s the big-

gest part of my job. Everybody wants to be listened to and val-ued,” Beckius said. “when you come to the nursing home, it’s kind of tough. There’s a lot of losses involved.”But her mantra is “The only

thing that should change is your address.” New residents are welcome to bring anything that will fit in their rooms and encouraged to keep up with in-terests and hobbies.“we like to ask people, ‘what

did you like to do at home? How can we help you do it here?’” Beckius said. “you’re coming here to live. How can we help you do that?”By planning a 102nd birth-

day bash, creating “reminisce” boxes to jog good memories, decorating for every holiday

and hosting special anniversary dinners.“Sarah demonstrates what a

true meaning of a caregiver is by the time she gives the resi-dents, the thoughtful outings and activities she provides and most importantly treating them like her own mother and father,” said Heidi Barber, director of nursing. “Sarah also makes work fun each and every day with her ‘jokes of the day,’ fun Halloween costumes, ‘Move it Mondays’ and everything else she brings to the table.”In 2012, Beckius was named

Caregiver of the year by Aging Services of Minnesota — the highest honor awarded to Min-nesota caregivers who dedicate their lives and careers to serv-ing older adults. She credits coworkers, the community and families of residents for their help in her success.“It’s just been a happy, great

place to work. Everyone just helps you do the best job you can do,” Beckius said. “I can’t say enough good things. I must say I have met the most inter-esting people here.”“Sarah has fulfilled many roles

on our campus, each one with joy and compassion,” said Ann Robinson, administrator at The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine. “Her wisdom and laughter will be dearly missed.”That’s not to say there aren’t

challenges and sadness in Beck-ius’ work, but she learned early to see aging as a part of living. After more than three decades on the job, it’s time for her to do a little more living of her own.“I have a few things I have to

do before I can’t,” she said.On her retirement list: garden-

ing, travel with her husband, sewing, cake decorating, tutor-ing, time with her granddaugh-ter and parents. And she’ll be back volunteering at The Lu-theran Home, she said.“It’s not so much goodbye as

see you later,” Beckius said.

Situated almost in the shadow of the St. John-Assumption Catholic Church steeple in Fax-on Township is a red shed – a reborn red shed at that.In several years, it’s gone from

housing horses to a business showroom called, appropriately enough, The Red Shed, special-izing in the sale of refurbished “junk and vintage.”It’s operated by Ron and Jean-

nie Savage and their daughter, Melissa Hollnagel. They will be holding their second annual Fall Sale this Thursday through Saturday. you will be able to see for yourself the unique ag-ricultural setting that surrounds the Savage home and their ad-jacent red shed.“We built the shed about 25

years ago to house our Clydes-dales, which we raised and trained at the time,” said Jean-nie. “After selling the horses, the shed became your typi-cal garage storage area and remained that way until four years ago when Melissa asked to hold her wedding there.”The family began a vast im-

provement project on the shed to make it ready for the big day, and the wedding was held there

as planned.“After the wedding, we were

inspired to utilize the space for something more useful than just storage,” continued Jean-nie, adding that’s where the idea was spawned to turn it into a fun business.Last year, Jeannie and Me-

lissa started painting furniture, which started as a hobby to not only refurbish items for their own home, but to prepare other items for a sale.After trying “regular latex

paint,” which wasn’t giving

them the final product they wanted, Jeannie and Melissa decided to try Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, which requires no stripping or sanding.“Literally, there’s no prep

Kline Will Not Seek ReelectionFor the first time in more than

a decade, Belle Plaine will have someone other than John Kline representing it in congress.

house education and the Workforce committee chair John Kline announced thurs-day that he will retire at the end of his term.

Ex-judge and former Minne-sota first lady and republican mary pawlenty is reportedly considering a run for Kline’s seat.

also, david gerson, of the tea party, who has twice chal-lenged Kline for the republi-can nomination in the Second congressional district, has an-nounced his intent to run for Kline’s seat.

according to a Star tribune report, other potential repub-lican candidates include Sen. dave thompson (r-lakeville), rep. Steve drazkowski (r-mazeppa), rep. tony albright (r-prior lake), Sen. eric pratt (R-Prior Lake) and Dakota county commissioner mary liz holberg.

Kline’s retirement also cre-ates an opening for democrats. Included are Mary Lawrence, a doctor, and angie craig, a St. Jude’s medical executive. they recently announced they are running. rep. Joe atkins, dFl-inver grove heights, said he would make an announcement about his intentions next week. rep. rick hansen, dFl-South St. paul, is another potential candidate.

the minnesota historical So-ciety (mnhS) announces 36 recipients of minnesota his-torical and cultural heritage Small grants (up to $10,000 each) totaling $290,010 in 19 counties.

included is a $10,000 grant to the Scott county historical So-ciety for the purchase of a digi-tal microfilm reader/scanner, which will make microfilmed records more accessible to the public.

the grants are awarded quar-terly to help non-profit and educational organizations, gov-ernment units and tribal orga-nizations preserve and share minnesota history. the awards

were approved by the mnhS executive council.

“legacy grants help history organizations around the state improve and enhance their abil-ity to achieve their mission and sustain themselves over time,” said carolyn veeser-egbide, mnhS grants manager.

minnesota historical and cul-tural heritage grants are made possible by the legacy amend-ment’s arts and cultural heri-tage fund through the vote of minnesotans on nov. 4, 2008. the legacy amendment sup-ports efforts to preserve min-nesota land, water and legacy, including minnesota history and cultural heritage.

Smith-Strack subsequently re-quested consideration of start-ing at Step 3 with the reason that she brings significant com-prehensive plan experience, so the majority of the (city’s) 2040 comprehensive plan could be

completed inhouse versus us-ing an outside consulting firm for the land use portion. Staff concurs with this recommenda-tion,” Kreft concluded.the city council also agreed.

Kreft said Step 3 brings an an-nual salary of approximately $72,222.09.Smith-Strack’s first day on the

job is expected to be Sept. 28.

16 residents the city sent letters

to earlier this summer asking for some measure of compli-ance with city code regarding refuse, exterior storage of un-licensed or inoperable vehicles. property owners who declined to comply promptly received a second letter from the city, one more formally worded warning them of the consequences of not complying with city code.the second letter usually gen-

erates compliance, panning said.But not with the property own-

er on church Street, who has received several letters over the past two years seeking compli-ance with city ordinance.this past summer, the city

council directed the Sibley county Sheriff’s deputy as-signed to green isle to issue the person a citation. panning reported the person refused to

accept the citation.at the aug. 25 council meet-

ing, council members learned the person did not show up for the court proceeding and is re-fusing to pay the court-issued fine. that’s where things got serious.city attorney ross arneson

said he would discuss the issue with district court staff and the sheriff’s office. he suggested having the court issue an arrest warrant on the property owner might demonstrate the serious-ness of the city’s resolve and generate compliance.council members would pre-

fer to avoid the potential of hav-ing a resident arrested, panning said. they simply want compli-ance with city ordinance.arneson will report back to

the council at an upcoming meeting.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA PAGE fIvEwEDNESDAy, SEPTEMBER 9, 2015

Letter to the EditorThirty Years Ago This WeekDear Editor,I recently sat down with super-

intendents from area districts to hear their thoughts, ideas and concerns regarding the state of our educational system.The superintendents – from Le

Sueur-Henderson, Cleveland, New Prague, Belle Plaine and Tri City United (Montgomery-Lonsdale-Le Center) provided me with valuable insight. The conversations addressed the changes the Legislature passed this year, which include an in-crease in education funding, fewer mandated tests (although this continues to be an area of concern) improved teacher licensure regulations, and a greater investment in early edu-cation will be helpful as the stu-dents return.Overall the average funding

increase for the communities in House District 20A is near-ly $350 per pupil. All agreed that because the increase was in base funding, rather than dedicated funding, it will allow more local control so individual districts will have the flexibility they need to apply the money where it can be put to best use. Although the ultimate use of the funding will vary from district to district, I heard about po-tential uses such as directing it toward enhancing after-school programs, retaining highly skilled teachers, reducing class sizes and more.Other changes this year which

should prove very helpful in-clude fewer mandated tests to allow increased classroom learning time, The superinten-dents indicated to me the scope and consistency (or inconsis-tency) of standardized state-wide testing is a big issue for them. Also, smaller districts are prone to wider swings in results because of a limited sampling size. It became apparent to me the legislature needs to contin-ue looking at testing to assure it achieves what it should.All felt the $95 million invest-

ment in early learning initia-tives, including scholarships and school readiness aid which passed this year will be money well spent. I find this funding

approach extremely helpful because not only is it target-ing children where it is needed most – the early learners, at the same time it retains enough flexibility in use so parents can make the best choices for their children.Overall I’m feeling confident

that going into the school year the new laws should have a significant positive impact on the future of education in Min-nesota, and I was happy to sup-port them.I’d like to thank our local su-

perintendents who took time to discuss these important issues with me, and I extend my best to all the area kids as they get back in the classroom this fall. Although the school year sig-nals the end of summer, it also renews the process of educating our young people toward their journey of making our nation and world a good place to live, something we all have a huge stake in.

USDA Rural Loans AvailableThe USDA Rural Develop-

ment Agency is currently ac-cepting applications for loans available to low-income fami-lies to buy, build, rehabilitate or improve homes located in rural communities with a population of 20,000 or less.

The low-income limit var-ies by county and ranges from $51,050 to $65,800 for a four-person household in southeast-ern Minnesota, including Scott County.

The maximum loan limit for the counties served through-out the SE Region range is $216,840 - $257,600. Approval for the maximum amount is based on household income and monthly debt obligations. No down payment is required and a portion of the loan clos-ing costs may be included into the loan.

The applicant must be unable to obtain the needed credit from another lending source, have an acceptable credit history, meet

income guidelines, have repay-ment capacity to service any existing obligations and the home loan payment, be without adequate housing, be a United States citizen or a non-citizen legally admitted for permanent residence and have the ability to personally occupy the home on a permanent basis.

funding is based upon an annual appropriation. Now through the end of September 2015, a significant amount of funding is available for eligible applicants, so please contact our office for the necessary appli-cation information. Loans may be made for up to 100 percent of the appraised value of the home. The current interest rate for this program is 3.25 percent (effective August 2015). The Rural Development loan may be subsidized to as low as a 1 percent effective interest rate, based on applicant eligibility and financial need. The repay-ment period of the loan is typi-cally 33 years.

Two Men Killed in ATV AccidentTwo men were killed in Le

1850’s, the St. Thomas area was a small clearing in the big woods where Patrick and Catherine Regan Ronayne’s family lived in a log cabin about 100 yards south of where the big brick house, oldest home in St.Thomas, present-ly stands. At that time, Civil war battles were popping up in the South and news of serious troubles with Sioux warriors were escalating in southwest-ern Minnesota. One Sunday, August 18 in 1862, a summon for volunteers brought Patrick Ronayne (1812-1901) and other men from St. Thomas, to join “some 300 volunteers, from Mankato, St. Peter, and Le Sueur, to defend the city of New Ulm.” From Tuesday, August 19 ‘til the second battle August 24 when the “battle raged all day and the outcome was often in doubt.” Finally, reinforcements appeared and the Sioux natives withdrew up the Minnesota Valley.

Two Crashes atHwy. 169 & Delaware Avenue ReportedA pair of crashes on Highway

169 just north of its intersection with Delaware Avenue (Coun-ty Road 59) in St. Lawrence Township north of Belle Plaine further snarled busy Labor Day traffic.Monday afternoon (Sept. 7)

at 2:34 p.m., a three-car crash occurred near the intersec-tion adjacent to the former OK Corral when the first vehicle slowed down just north of the Highway 169 and Delaware Avenue where it narrows from two lanes to one because of the Highway 169 improvement project in Jordan.The crash occurred when a

northbound mini van came

to a stop and a Chevy Malibu stopped behind it. A third north-bound vehicle rear-ended the Chevrolet, which was pushed into the mini van.Five people combined in the

three vehicles all sustained mi-nor injuries, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. Two others were injured but their injuries did not require trans-portation to an area hospital, according to the state patrol.A second crash at approxi-

mately the same location was reported at 5:13 p.m. Details of that crash were not available when the Belle Plaine Herald went to press.

couldn’t comprehend a child not having a backpack to take to school. Presley’s concern for others prompted her mom to start a backpack and school supplies drive in her daughter’s name.Thanks to news coverage and

social media, word of the drive spread rapidly. Volek has re-ceived heartfelt donations from many people.“This went way beyond our

expectations,” she said. “when we went into this, I thought we’d help five to 10 kids.”

City Seeking Another Public Works Employee

The Belle Plaine Public works Department has been given the green light to seek another full-time public works employee.

“with the untimely death of Jerry Connolly, the wastewater treatment operator, the public works department will need to hire a new employee,” stated Kreft in this week’s report to the city council.

She added that the public works department currently consists of long-term employ-ees, with the most recent full-time hire in 2007. Public works Superintendent Al Fahey is currently the licensed opera-tor of the wastewater treatment facility, and other public works staff are in the process of be-ing trained as operators, but do not have the required Class B

license.“Rather than advertise for a

licensed wastewater treatment operator, staff is recommend-ing that the city advertise for a public works I employee with no preference given to a can-didate with a valid sewer and/or water license,” Kreft contin-ued. “Given the uniqueness and complicated operations of Belle Plaine’s plant, it will most like-ly be difficult to hire someone with a significant amount of ex-perience.”

Fahey said he has informed the Minnesota Pollution Con-trol Agency that he will be the licensed operator at the plant moving forward.

More information about the public works employee job listing will be available on the city’s website.

Carver Co. Gets $138,000 Flood Recovery Grant

The Carver Soil and water Conservation District (SwCD) announced it has been awarded a $138,000 flood recovery grant from the Minnesota Board of water and Soil Resources (BwSR) from statewide disas-ter relief legislation.

The funds are for new con-servation practices to address erosion, sediment and water quality issues caused by the flooding, and help to prevent future damage.

“we have worked hard to help landowners address dam-age left in the wake of the June 2014 heavy rain events,” said Mike wanous, Carver SwCD District manager. “These grant funds will allow us to acceler-ate our recovery work and put practices on the ground that will help prevent soil loss in the future.”

Some $5.6 million has been awarded to 26 counties in this second phase to accelerate their recovery work. These funds were allocated during the June 2015 Special Session. In Janu-ary, Gov. Dayton signed legis-lation that allocated funding to BwSR to assist local govern-ments in repairing conservation practices damaged during the flooding.

BwSR activated its Disaster Recovery Assistance Program and began immediately work-ing with the local governments to determine need and to start the allocation process. Seven-teen counties were awarded $2 million in disaster relief funds after that allocation.

For more information about the Carver SWCD’s flood re-covery efforts, call 952-466-5230.

Gaylord Business Owner Dies

Longtime Gaylord business owner Don Pinske, 84, died Aug. 25.Pinske owned and operated

Pinske Meat Market from 1973 to 1997. The market became well known for its “Pinske” or “spice” burgers and loyal cus-tomers.Pinske’s father, George, had

purchased the Sanitary Meat Market in the early 1930s, changing the name to Pinske Meat Market in 1967. Don’s son, Mike, purchased the mar-ket in 1997. He owned the busi-ness, which is now Lang’s Meat Market, until 2002.

Scott-Carver Project Community Connect Seeks Hairdressers

Free haircuts top the list of most-sought-after services at the Scott-Carver Project Com-munity Connect (PCC) event for those who are “living on little.”

To continue to provide this service to those who attend this year’s event on Sept. 16, PCC needs more volunteer hair-dressers.

“Last year, we had 400 people attend PCC and 116 people re-ceived haircuts,” said Jennifer Romero of Cologne, who is co-chairing this year’s event with Eric Gentry and Dan Lauer-Schumacher. “To meet the need this year, we really need more hairdressers who can volunteer for the day or any portion of the day.”

The event for Carver County and Scott County residents will be from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on wednesday, Sept. 16, in the Canterbury Park Expo Center, Shakopee.

Southwest Metro Education Cooperative provides hairstyl-ing chairs and carts for the event. Hairstylists are asked to bring their own equipment. Anyone interested in volun-teering to provide haircuts is asked to send an e-mail to [email protected] or call 952-237-1417.

The Scott-Carver PCC event provides a wide variety of ser-vices to those who are home-less, at risk of homelessness, or in need of community resourc-es. In addition to free haircuts, PCC offers free transportation, childcare and lunches.

go toward promotion of Belle

Plaine and its unique location as the last stop on the Minnesota River Valley Scenic Byway, as well as environmental projects, including the ongoing Min-nesota River Valley Cleanup Project.

9 a.m., while the 5K race gets underway at 9:20 a.m. Awards will be given for the top male and female in 10 age catego-ries in both events, and the top Belle Plaine male and female finishers in both events. Special custom medals will go to all half-marathon participants.There will again be a two-per-

son relay. Runners are respon-sible for their own transporta-tion to and from the half way exchange point. The first runner will be running a bit longer than half of the 13.1 miles, due to safety of the runners and hav-ing a safe exchange point.
