Vols, Runners Still Sought for Scenic Byway Races

Belle Plaine’s second annual Minnesota River Valley Scenic Byway Half-Marathon and 5K runs will take place on Satur-day, Oct. 13.The Belle Plaine Chamber

of Commerce, sponsor of the event, is seeking volunteers to help operate the races, which you can do by contacting the chamber at 952-873-4295.If you would like to par-

ticipate in one of the two runs (walkers are also welcome), you can register at www.belle-plainemn.com or www.ander-sonraces.com. You can direct questions regarding registration by e-mailing Mary Anderson at [email protected] year’s inaugural races at-

tracted some 500 runners.This year’s 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.In conjunction with the runs

this year, organizers are plan-ning to hold a Belle Plaine Harvest Coin Hunt during the weeks leading up to the races.The hunt will be very similar

to those prior to St. Patrick’s and Bar-B-Q Days in that clues will be published in the Herald with basically the same rules. The prize for fi nding it will be $100 in Belle Plaine Bucks.More information about the

treasure coin hunt will be pre-sented with the publishing of the fi rst clue on Sept. 26.

by Dan RuudTwo dozen people attended

last Tuesday’s Belle Plaine City Council meeting, the vast ma-jority of whom were there for the 2013 street and utility im-provement public hearing.Only seven people in atten-

dance directly addressed the council after Mayor Tim Lies explained that the purpose of the hearing was to discuss the need for the project and its specifi cs, not assessments. The assessment public hearing will be held after the project is com-pleted next year. Most of those who did address

the council expressed concern over how the project will im-pact their lawns and existing

sidewalks, etc. A couple of resi-dents said what they’re paying for street and utility improve-ments in front of their homes will not equally increase the value of their homes.At the opening of the public

hearing, City Engineer Joe Dun-can provided a PowerPoint pre-sentation outlining the specifi cs of the work proposed to be done next spring and summer, which includes street reconstruction and utility improvements at:– Main Street from Willow

Street to Buffalo Street.– Eagle Street from Park Street

to Main Street.– Buffalo Street from Main

Street to Church Street.Duncan said the total estimated

cost of the project is $1,963,850, of which $1,416,416 (approxi-mately 70 percent) would be paid for by the city. The rest would be assessed to benefi t-ting property owners. Duncan added that streets in much of the project area will be nar-rowed by several feet, which will signifi cantly increase the size of a number of lawns and right-of-way. The public works committee will meet soon to discuss sidewalk alignment for those areas where West Main Street will be narrowed to a 44-foot width.Duncan presented photos from

Hartman Communities Planning ‘Estate’ Development in Area

What some say is an improved outlook in the residential devel-opment scene and the economy has an area developer pitching an upscale project in north-cen-tral San Francisco Township.The preliminary plat for Whis-

pering Creek Ranch Subdivi-sion is scheduled for vetting by the Carver County Planning Commission Tuesday (Sept. 18), 7 p.m., in the boardroom within the Carver County Gov-ernment Center in Chaska.Hartman Communities’ plan

for Whispering Creek Ranch includes seven “executive” lots of approximately two to three acres on which houses selling for $800,000 to $900,000 will be built, said, Gerald Hartman, a partner with Hartman Com-munities. It will also feature private roads designed to town-ship specifi cations. The devel-opment will have a monument-style entrance off County Road 50 near County Road 40, across the road from Dahlgren Town-ship near East Union.If the development wins coun-

ty approval, Hartman expects Whispering Creek Ranch will be full within two years. He is marketing it to people who can afford a nearly $1 million lot and house and want to escape the city for a more rural setting,

but still want to be close to the metro amenities.“I can be to the airport from

there in 30 minutes,” he said.The proposal will likely ar-

rive at the Carver County Plan-ning Commission Tuesday with the blessings of San Francisco

Ray Meierbachtol DiesLess than three months af-

ter being co-grand marshal of Belle Plaine’s German Days Parade, Ray Meierbachtol died Tuesday morning.Meierbachtol, who started

Meierbachtol Trucking shortly after graduating from Belle Plaine High School in 1949, was also well known in the area for his farming operation in ru-ral Belle Plaine. Meierbachtol Trucking is still being operated today by Ray’s sons.Meierbachtol and his long-

time neighbor, Marilyn Koepp, were selected to share grand marshal honors for the German Days Parade on June 16. Both

their spouses died in the early 2000s.A partial obituary for Meier-

bachtol appears on page 3.

Area Counties Prelim. Levies Topping Scott’s Half-PercentAfter a few years holding the

line on increasing property taxes, some area counties are considering minor increases in their preliminary levies to catch up.In some cases, decreases in

valuations mean property tax hikes will be minimized if not eliminated.Preliminary property tax lev-

ies had to be set this week. They cannot be increased, only maintained or decreased. Once set, a preliminary levy can only be maintained or decreased. The fi nal 2013 levy must be set by the end of the year.Compared to Scott County,

area counties are increasing their proposed preliminary lev-ies at a greater rate than Scott County commissioners ap-proved last week. Its half-per-cent levy means three-fourths of the county’s houses will see a tax decrease, thanks to reduced valuations.Overall, the average residence

will see Scott County’s share of its property taxes drop by $39. Kevin Ellsworth, Scott County’s chief fi nancial offi cer says 13 percent of the county’s houses will see a hike in the county’s share of property taxes up to $25 because of the half-percent preliminary levy hike. The half-percent increase, if enacted in December, means 12 percent of the houses in the county will see an increase greater than $25 in Scott County’s share of their property taxes.

Carver CountyThe county board recently ap-

proved a preliminary levy hike of 1.9 percent or $850,000. But thanks to diminished property valuations, a home valued at $252,000 for taxation purposes will see Carver County’s por-tion of the property taxes drop by $20, from $1,100 to $1,080.The county boasts 2013 will

be the eighth consecutive year it has reduced the impact of its property tax levy on the aver-age-valued home.Carver County’s preliminary

2013 property tax levy of $45.6 million supports a proposed $88.5 million budget. The bud-get includes $500,000 in sav-ings from the levy to counter-act moderate wage and benefi t increases for 2013. The county plans to assign the additional $850,000 in levy dollars toward capital projects, primarily road projects.Carver County plans to reduce

its budget in 2013 to $88.5 mil-lion from $97.3 million. The biggest reduction is capital projects completed last year.The increase and decrease are

both within the directives the county commissioners gave to David Hemze, Carver County’s administrator. They wanted any increase in the 2013 property tax levy offset by decreases in reduced valuations.

Sibley CountyCommissioners approved a

4-percent preliminary levy in-crease Tuesday.The $11.26 million prelimi-

nary levy will support a $23.21

million budget. The county is planning to decrease its 2013 budget by 1.8 percent. Most of the new levy money will be allocated toward road improve-ments, most notably County Road 8 in Henderson Town-ship, said Commissioner Jim Nytes of Henderson Township. The road endures the impact of ag.-related traffi c and higher volumes of traffi c when Minne-sota River fl ooding closes other river crossings, said Commis-sioner Nytes said.The proposed 2013 budget

also includes money for Sibley County’s fi rst administrator. The new administrator, once hired, will oversee county staff, serve as a go-to manager and a liaison between staff at the commissioners. The adminis-trator will also have evolving responsibilities in economic development and human re-sources, Nytes said.

Le Sueur CountyThe county board approved

Tuesday a preliminary prop-erty tax levy of $15,280,899 for 2013 – a 9 percent increase over 2012.Joe Boettcher, the county’s au-

ditor/treasurer, expects the levy will be reduced dramatically before the end of the year. He said the increase as preliminar-ily approved, would have a sig-nifi cant impact on the county’s share of property taxes on farm-land as well as houses.The levy will help fund the

county’s proposed 9 percent budget increase for 2013. The initial budget of approximately $34.49 million, a 12 percent increase, has already been cut down by 3 percent to $33.57 million with more reductions to expected before the fi nal ap-proval in December, Boettcher said.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA PAGE fOuR WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2012

Many people use January 1st as that magic day that they are going to reform themselves in some manner by observing a New Year’s Resolution. I sus-pect most of those resolutions end up on some sort of junk pile of good intentions that were not carried forward. I found it interesting that September is considered to be “International Strategic Thinking Month”. Maybe a month of thinking and studying is a better approach. Taking some time to read and do some serious research about your plans for the days ahead might increase your chances of success.Reading can help you think.

Increasing the variety of what you read can widen your thoughts. If you are thinking about going back to school, changing jobs, finding a new hobby or any of many possible strategies to mold into your fu-ture, your library can be a good source of information. Collect you thoughts and back them up with good information. We will gladly help you out.Keep in mind that September

is Library Card Sign up Month. We are observing the American Library Association national campaign to increase library awareness. During the month of September, you can get a free library card or free replace-ment library card. If you library card is lost or damaged or you never took the time to get a li-brary card, now is the time to do so. Do not put it off. We just started and already, September is flying by.The Adult Book Club that

meets here at the Belle Plaine Library on the 4th Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. is looking for new members. This month they are reading “Spirit Car” by Diane Wilson. If you would like to join the club, stop at the library to get a copy of the book. Meeting is on September 27th.

CheCk out our FALL rebAte

The following story was written by J. E. Townsend founder of the Belle Plaine Herald. He was a witness to life in Belle Plaine before and after the Dakota con-flict of 1862. This article was originally written and published in 1934.

By J. E. TownsendWhile I finished last week my

account of what I knew about the Indians, personally, in early days, the following is more or less from hearsay, history, etc. St Peter, only about 28 miles from here, a village of only about 1,000 inhabitants at the time of the Indian massacre, was the nearest place of any fair size for refugees to reach. Be-ing so near to the locality where the terrible carnage was taking place, was soon found to be at a safe distance when it was made the most important bases of supply from business houses and steamboats.“St. Peter on the morning of

the 19th of August, 1862, mani-fested some unwonted commo-tion. Couriers arrived before dawn of that day, announcing news that the neighboring town of New Ulm was on fire, and its inhabitants were being mas-sacred by the Indians, led by Little Crow. At the same time, or a little previous, came the tidings that fort Ridgely was in imminent danger; that Captain Marsh had been killed, and his command almost, if not entire-ly, cut off, in attempting to give succor to the Lower Agency, which had been attacked on the morning of the 18th, the day previous, and was then in ashes. By nine o’clock the news of these events began to meet a response from the surrounding country. Horsemen and footmen from different parts of Nicollet and Le Sueur counties, came hurrying into town, some with guns and ammunition, others without arms. Men were hurry-ing through the streets in search of guns and ammunition; some were running bullets,, while others were fitting up teams,

Indian Uprising Felt at St. Peter

horses, and provisions. Busi-est among the agitated mass were Hon. Charles E. flandrau and Captain William B. Dodd, giving directions for hasty or-ganization for the purpose of defending New ulm, or, if that was impossible, to hold the In-dians in check outside of St. Peter, sufficiently long to give men, women and children some chance to save their lives by hasty flight, if necessary. Every man, woman and child seemed to catch the spirit of the alarm-ing moment. Now, at about ten o’clock, Judge flandrau, as captain, with quick words of command, aided by proper sub-alterns in rank, with one hun-dred and thirty-five men, armed as best they could be, with shot guns, muskets, rifles, swords, and revolvers, took up the line of march for New ulm. At an early hour, fifty volunteers, known as the Renville Rangers, on their way to fort Snelling had turned their course toward fort Ridgely, taking with them all the government arms at St. Peter.“With the departure of these

noble bands went not only the wishes and prayers of wives, mothers, brothers, sisters and children for success, but with them all, or nearly all, the able-bodied citizens capable of bear-ing arms, together with all the guns and ammunition St. Peter could muster. for one moment we follow these little bands of soldiers, the hope of the Min-nesota Valley. Their march is rapid. To one of these parties, 30 weary miles is intervened between them and the burning town of New Ulm. Expecting to meet the Indian foe on their route, flushed with their suc-cessful massacre of New ulm, the skirmishers - a few men on horseback - were kept in ad-vance of the hurrying footmen. Before dark, the entire force destined for New ulm reached the crossing of the Minnesota at the Red Stone ferry. Here for a moment a halt was ordered; the field of ruin lay in full view before them. The smoke of the burning buildings was seen ascending over the town. No signs of life were visible. Some yet might be alive. There was no wavering in that little area of relief. The ferry manned, the river was crossed, and soon New ulm was frantic and the mingled shouts of the delivered and deliverers. A synopsis of the hard fought battle at New Ulm I expect to give later on.“The other party, by dusk, had

reached fort Ridgely, traveling about forty-five miles, crossing the ravine near the fort at the precise point where one hun-dred and fifty Indians had lain in ambush awaiting their ap-proach until a few moment be-fore they came up, and had only retired for the night when too late to intercept them, the dis-appointed Indians saw the Ren-ville Rangers enter the fort..“But let us now return to St.

Peter. What a night and day have brot forth! The quiet vil-lage of a thousand inhabitants

thus increased by thousands, had become full to overflow-ing. Every private house, every public house, every church, schoolhouse, warehouse, shed or saloon, and every vacant structure is full. The crowd throngs the public highways; a line of cooking stoves smoke along the streets; the vacant lots are occupied, for there is nor room in the houses. All is a clatter, rattle and din. Wag-ons, ponies, mules, oxen, cows and calves are promiscuously distributed among groups of men, women and children. The live stock from thousands of deserted farms surround the outskirts of the town; the lowing of strange cattle, the neighboring of restless hordes, the crying of lost and hungry children, the tales of horror, the tomahawk wounds undressed, the bleeding feet, the cries for food, and the loud wailing for missing friends, all combine to burn into the soul that dreadful reality that some terrible calam-ity was upon the country.But the news of the rapids ap-

proach of the Indians, the bod-ies of the recently murdered, the burning of houses, the admitted danger of a sudden attack upon St. Peter, agitated and moved that vast multitude as if some volcano was ready to engulf them. The overflowing streets were crowded into the already overflowing houses. The stone buildings barricaded, and the women and children were huddled into every conceivable place of safety. Between hope and fear, and prayer for succor, several wear days and nights passed away, when on the 22nd day of August the force under Colonel Sibley, fourteen-hun-dred strong, arrived at St. Pe-ter.Now, as the dread of immedi-

ate massacre was past, they were seized with a fear of a character entirely different. How shall this multitude be fed, clothed and nursed? The grain was un-threshed in the field, and the flour in the only mill left stand-ing on the Minnesota, above Belle Plaine, was almost gone. The flouring mill at Mankato, twelve miles above, in the midst of the panic had been burned, and fears were enter-tained that the mill at St. Peter would share the same fate. Nor had this multitude any means within themselves to support life, a single day. Every scheme known to human ingenuity was canvassed. Every device was suggested and every expedi-ent tried. The multitudes was fearfully clamoring for food, raiment and shelter. The sick and wounded were in need of medicine and skillful attention. Between six and seven thou-sand persons, besides the citi-zens of the place, were already crowding the town; and some thousand or fifteen hundred more daily expected, as a prop-er quota from the two thousand now compelled to abandon new ulm. The gathering troops, reg-ular and irregular, were moving

Joseph Edward Townsend

in large numbers, upon St. Pe-ter, now a frontier town of the state, bordering on the country under the full dominion of the Annuity Sioux Indians, with torch and tomahawk, burning and murdering in their train.Many of the middle and east-

ern states were appealed to in behalf of the suffering, the des-titute and homeless. In reply about $20,000 was received, to which was added $25,000 by the state, for general distribu-tion.Other places on the frontier,

such as Henderson, Chaska, Carver and even Belle Plaine, Shakopee and St. Paul, felt, more or less, the crushing weight of the army of refugees, as they poured across the coun-try and down the Minnesota valley; but no place felt this burden so heavily as the fron-tier town of S. Peter.One reflection should here be

made. Had New ulm and fort Ridgely fallen on the first at-tack Mankato and St. Peter would have been taken before the state troops could have of-fered the proper assistance. Had New ulm fallen on the 19th, when it was attacked, and fort Ridgely on the 20th, when the attack was made on that place, Mankato and St. Peter could easily have been reached by the 21st, when the state troops were below, on their way to St. Peter. The successful defense of these places, New ulm and fort Ridgely, was accomplished by the volunteer citizens, who reached New ulm by the 19th of August, and the Renville Rangers, by a forced march of forty-five miles in one day, reaching the fort previous to the attack on that post. Whatever credit is due to the state troops for the successful defense of the frontier and the rescue of the white captives, should be gratefully acknowledged by the citizens of Minnesota.In the above I think history

should have added part of Scott and Sibley counties, for I know that the volunteer company from Belle Plaine were on the battle field before the militia companies passed through here. Then again, as could be seen by my father’s letter in last week’s Herald, several Belle Plaine took an active part in that mem-orable battle of Birch Coulie, which was fought before the regulars arrived.Such acts are worthy of lasting

honor to all who participants in those glorious deeds. But to the brave men who first advanced to the defense of New ulm and fort Ridgely, higher honor and a more lasting debt of gratitude are due from the inhabitants of the valley of the Minnesota. Let their names be honored among men. Let them stand side by side with the heroes of other days. Let them rank with vet-eran brethren who, on Southern battle fields, have fought nobly for constitutional freedom and the perpetuity of the union of these states.

The way Claude Witt views history, a sympathetic Indian is the reason he and other mem-bers of his family were ever born.In the early-hours of the 1862

Dakota War, an Indian spared the life of a handful of children. One of those children, Witt says, was his great grandfather, Herman Carl Witt, known as “H. Carl Witt.”“It’s amazing how one little

incident can change history,” said Witt, a longtime Belle Plaine resident who now lives near Le Sueur.Witt has studied the history of

the war and the families who lost descendants in it. In the sesquicentennial anniversary of the uprising, he believes area residents should gain a deeper understanding of the war and what started it. Earlier this sum-mer, he attended a gathering of the families at the battlefield of Birch Coulee in Birch Coulee Township near Morton, Minn. They visited graves and saw the place of the battle two weeks into the uprising.According to versions of the

story Mary Lou Erickson and Brian Witt, Claude’s son, re-searched and wrote in “family and friends of Dakota upris-ing Victims,” Witt’s great-great grandfather Carl Witt and his 14-year-old son, William, were gathering hay in a distant field near the family home on the north side of the Minnesota River in Renville County, not far from Birch Coulee Town-ship. His daughter Maria Au-gusta was working in New ulm.Carl’s second wife, 22-year-

old fredericka, was stacking hay in the yard in front of the family’s cabin. Three other children were playing in a near-by field. William and H. Carl were there to help fredericka stack the hay.fredericka was the second of

Carl’s four wives. She was the younger sister of his first wife, who died while the couple lived in Wisconsin before moving to southwestern Minnesota.

War PaintLate in the morning of Aug. 18,

1862, five Indians approached the woman in front of the fam-ily’s cabin. The family was ac-customed to the Indians. The In-dians lived on the south side of

the river and were thought to be kind. But the Indians, starving and believing the government would once again renege on its agreements and not make good on the food and money it owed the tribe as part of a treaty, were headed southeast to attack fort Ridgely.The Indians occasionally

crossed the river and took the pies fredericka left to cool in a window, sometimes leaving wild game in exchange for the pies. But this time was differ-ent. The Indians were wearing war paint. As they approached, fredericka tied up a family dog, which frequently went after the Indians.As she secured the large dog,

one of the Indians shot freder-icka in the chest at point-lank range. She died almost instant-ly. H. Carl, who was 8 at the time, was in the yard and was also shot but suffered only a flesh wound. He fell into the en-trance to a cellar and pretended to be dead. The Indian, sensing the boy was no longer a threat, did not confirm the kill.The three children in a nearby

field heard the gunshot and saw what happened to their mother. They ran to the cabin and hid beneath one of the beds and behind a door. As the Indians ransacked the cabin, searching for food and other valuables, an Indian found the terrified chil-dren as they hid. Rather than kill them, he motioned for the children to remain silent until the Indians left.Members of the family believe

the kindhearted Indian inten-tionally spared the lives of the children, allowing for future generations of Witts to be born.After the attack, Carl buried

his wife where she fell. The family left the homestead for fort Ridgely, arriving before the Indians attacked it two days later. Along the way, he stopped to bury a neighbor who was also killed during the raid.The Witts survived the fighting

at the fort and later left for New ulm and St. Peter. Carl and his children finally landed in Belle Plaine where they stayed in a warehouse with other refugees. They later moved to union Hill. Carl eventually married his third wife, Anna “Helena” Hoffman Giesen. She was a widow with two children. Carl and Anna had two children to-gether, adding to their blended family.

Former B.P. Resident, Family Owe Their Lives to Kind-HeartedIndian 150 Years Ago

Claude Witt and members of his family are only alive today because hasty attackers didn’t stop to make sure his great grandfather was dead and a kind-hearted Indian spared his great-great aunts during an attack Aug. 18, 1862. His great-great grandfather’s second wife was killed in the attack. Fam-ily members have authored books on battles during the Da-kota War of 1862 and the war’s effect on families.

Thirty Years Ago This Week

In what was labeled as a test for the Minnesota endorsement process, area voters helped hand defeat to DfL- and I-R-endorsed candidates for gover-nor and state treasurer. Warren Spannaus was narrowly defeat-ed by former Gov. Rudy Perpi-ch and I-R-endorsed candidate Lou Wangberg was handed a surprisingly large defeat by businessman Wheelock Whit-ney. Both Perpich and Whitney sidestepped the endorsement process. There were 576 Belle Plaine voters who ventured into the rain and cool temperatures to cast ballots that Tuesday. That represented about 40 per-cent of the registered voters.filings for Belle Plaine city

offices would open Sept. 28. The mayoral seat held by fran Schuman and three city council seats would be up for election in November. The three council seats were currently held by Ed Willson, Ed Townsend and Leo Albrecht.A committee from Belle Plaine

Devine would be that year’s Belle Plaine High School homecoming guest speaker. The princesses would be Doris Woestehoff, Carol Henne, Jan-ice Capaul, Suzanne O’Brien and Amy Bessel. The princes would be Dan Lehman, Jerome Murphy, Bob fogarty, Erik Johnson and Dennis Lehman.The BPHS football team top-

pled faribault Bethlehem Acad-emy 7-0. The Tigers’ defense was outstanding, holding the Cardinals from scoring twice when they were inside the Belle Plaine 5 yard line. The lone score of the game came when quarterback Eric Johnson threw a pass to Jeff fogarty, who then tossed the ball to a wide open Dennis Lehman, who sprinted 62 yards for a touchdown. The defense held faribault BA to 77 yards of total offense.

Starting the Second 100 YearsKevin Gaffney, president of the State Bank of Belle Plaine, cut a ribbon to open the bank’s centennial celebration in September 1982. All of the bank’s staff were dressed in 19th century costumes that morning. A tent was set up on the bank grounds and food and refreshments were served. Live music was provided by Clem Brau’s orchestra. Bank personnel assisting Gaffney with the ribbon cutting were, from left, Ty Buesgens, Bob Zvanovec, Gerry Sons, Lori Koepp, Mary Ann Gill, Janel Koepp, June Busch, Debbie Laabs, Lois Schuldt, Cindy Denzer, Jeannie Savage, Paul Gatz, Patricia Krant, Norma Kessler and Al Schwab.

The road construction crew has been working hard so we can bring good news. The Belle Plaine farmers Market is back at Court Square. Come on down to the park today (Wednesday) and take a stroll through the market to see all the fall produce and flowers.Last week’s salsa contest was

held. Many people sampled the various salsas and determined their favorite. The winner with her sweet and sassy version was vendor Jan Walerius. Coming in a close second was vendor Judy Luskey. Stop at the market and pick up a few jars of salsa and see which one is your favorite.

As you harvest this year’s fruit and vegetables, save some seeds for next year. Pepper seeds are especially easy to save. Leave some peppers on the more vig-orous growing plants and the ones that taste the best. Al-low the fruit to fully ripen and start to wrinkle. Remove the seeds and spread them out to dry. Store the seeds in a tightly sealed glass container at a tem-perature between 32 and 41 de-grees f. A refrigerator is a great place to store them until you are ready to plant in the spring.The farmers Market is held

Wednesdays from 3:30-6:30 p.m. May through October. No early sales, please respect the bell. vendors are welcome. for more information, contact Lisa Fahey at 952-873-5665 or Di-ane Skelley at 952-873-2467.

Scott, Area Counties in ‘Very High’ or ‘Extreme’ Fire Risk

A report released this week by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) shows much of the western two-thirds of the state in “ex-treme” fire danger, including Sibley, Le Sueur, Hennepin and Rice counties. Scott and Carver counties are among those in a swath of southeastern Minneso-ta that are categorized at “very high” risk.According to the DNR, in ar-

eas of “very high” risk, fires start very easily and spread at a very fast rate. fires start easily from all causes, spread rapidly and intensify quickly. Spot fires are a constant danger. Direct at-tack at the head of such fires is rarely possible after they have been burning more than a few minutes.for counties in “extreme” risk,

the DNR says the fire situation is explosive and can result in extensive property damage. fires under extreme conditions start quickly, spread furiously and burn intensely. All fires are potentially serious. Direct at-

tack is rarely possible, and may be dangerous, except immedi-ately after ignition. Under these conditions, the only effective and safe control action is on the flanks until the weather changes or the fuel supply lessens.Scott, like all other counties

listed at “extreme” or “very high” risk of fires, had burning restrictions in place as of Tues-day.Belle Plaine fire Chief Randy

Koepp said anyone in the Belle Plaine fire Department’s ju-risdiction who had a burning permit for this past Monday or Tuesday were contacted and told not to burn. However, Ko-epp said he expected the ban to be lifted today (Wednesday) due to the cooler temperatures that are in the forecast and a chance of rain. The city of Belle Plaine is-

sues open burning permits for townships surrounding the city where the Belle Plaine fire Department has jurisdiction. for more information, visit the city’s website or call 952-873-5553.

Township’s supervisors. They’ll have their final look at it during the township’s monthly meet-ing Monday (Sept. 17). The final hurdle includes two minor setback issues, one for a wind-mill and the other for the edge of a building. Maidie Felton, the town board’s chairwoman, expects the issue will be sup-ported.While the Carver County Zon-

ing & Planning Department is offering no recommendation on its approval or denial, the proposal offers a new use of a conservation easement that protects woodlands and bluffs in the area. In exchange for the easement, Hartman Com-munities is allowed a seventh lot, said Steve Just, manager of Carver County’s land manage-ment department. Felton said the easement would protect the bluffs in the area and keep them from eroding into Bevens Creek. Hartman’s plan is the first time the township has used the easement since a township citizen’s committee proposed the easement three years ago to help people developing their land.“This will protect the environ-

mentally sensitive areas and it also allows people to use more of their land,” Felton said.

Scarecrow Fest 1st PrizeSydney Hartman’s entry in the annual Emma Krumbee’s Scarecrow Festival won first place in the traditional catego-ry’s preschool-6th grade group Saturday. Over 70 scarecrows were entered in competition for a share of nearly $7,000 in prizes.

The Belle Plaine School District is currently in year 2 of implementation of Professional Learning Communities (PLC’s) within our school buildings. The term PLC has taken on numer-ous meanings over the years, but I felt that a recent article in District Administrator did a great job of framing PLCs in the manner that founder/creator Rick DuFour and his wife, Becky, had intended. The following information is taken from the September issue of the District Administrator magazine.“The PLC at Work model, say Rick and Becky DuFour, dis-

tinguishes itself from other PLCs primarily through the deep degree of efficacy in implementation it requires of individual teachers, who meet formally each week and follow a specific process to ensure success for each student. For each unit of instruction, teachers agree on the essential skills each student will learn, how much time they will devote to each, and what the assessment process will be for gathering evidence of student learning. Once they have evidence, they identify students who were not successful, discuss what may have caused the difficul-ties, and share strategies from teachers who successfully taught the unit. If the entire team finds that all their students were unsuccessful, they seek resources for learning how to teach the concepts better. The team also discusses strategies for enriching and extending learning for students who have demonstrated high proficiency.Rick DuFour stresses the importance of the word “profes-

sional” in “Professional Learning Communities at Work.” “As with a lawyer or a doctor, it conjures someone required to do extensive training, with expectations to remain current, to be continuously learning, and to put the needs of the client above themselves,” he says.The DuFours’ PLC at Work model centers around three big

ideas that are core to transforming education practices.Big idea #1: Ensure that all students learn. Traditionally, stu-

dents are taught and expected to learn, but with PLC at Work, the focus shifts from teaching to learning. Rather than leaving the treatment of struggling students up to individual teachers, who may deal with them in vastly different ways, the school implements a uniform policy for intervening with students.Interventions, which may take the forms of peer mentoring, a

teacher- or coach-guided study period, or an after-school tutor-ing program, are timely, with opportunities built into the regular school day. This is done so that traditional remediation prac-tices, such as time- and resource-intensive remedial courses, or delayed actions, such as summer school or retention, need not be employed.Big idea #2: Establish a culture of collaboration among staff.

It goes against the grain in traditional education settings for teachers to open their classroom doors to share materials, ideas, strategies and results with each other, but this activity is at the core of PLC at Work. Big idea #3: Focus on results. In traditional classrooms, aver-

ages are often used to analyze student performance, and students not mastering skills are often left behind as a teacher proceeds to the next concept. With the PLC at Work model, data analysis focuses on the progress of each individual student, looking at specific percentage improvements and sharing strategies around how to maximize strengths and overcome weaknesses.Schools implementing PLC at Work begin by establishing

consensus on answers to three key questions: What do we want each student to learn? How will we know when each student has learned it? How will we respond when a student experiences difficulty in learning?”As always, if you have any questions about school matters,

inspections of the area showing decaying infrastructure in the project area.Some of those in the audience

wanted to know why Buffalo Street, which was reconstruct-ed in 1993 and is categorized in “fair condition,” needs to be included in next year’s work. Duncan explained that the street was improved at that time but not the infrastructure.One resident said “the city

should have done the project right the first time.” Another said he just got finished paying off an assessment and now an-other will begin. When asked how the city goes

about portioning out individual property assessments (for this project they range between $4,000 and $13,500), Duncan said he has to allocate costs per the city’s assessment policy in regards to front- and side-lot footage, etc.Following the public hearing,

which lasted about one hour, the council voted 6-0 to order the improvements and direct Duncan to prepare the final plans and specifications of the 2013 street and utility improve-ment project.Duncan said the city is about

four months ahead of schedule when it comes to planning for its annual street improvement project. He said the reason for that is not to speed up the proj-ect, but rather to attract more favorable bids by bidding the project in January rather than closer to spring.Some of the key dates of the

project schedule are as follows:2012Sept. 4 – Hold improvement

hearing.Dec. 17 – Approve plans and

specifications and authorize ad-vertisement of bids.2013Jan. 24 – Receive and open

bids.Feb. 4 – Consider resolution to

award construction contract.April – Begin construction.Aug. 31 – Substantial comple-

tion.Oct. 7 – Hold assessment

hearing.2014June – Final completion.In other business last Tues-

day night, the council unani-mously adopted a 2013 pre-liminary property tax levy of $4,528,272, an increase of $228,635 (5.3 percent) over this year’s levy of $4,299,637, which was a 2.7 percent in-crease over the 2011 levy.The 5.3 percent increase for

2013 represents only the city’s portion of your property tax bill. County and school taxes are not included.Of the 5.3 percent property tax

increase, Belle Plaine Finance Director Dawn Meyer said 3.3 percent will go toward increases to the budget. The other 2 per-cent will go toward expenses associated with the city’s recent purchase of its public works building.For property owners with

an average-value home of $167,400, the 5.3 percent hike will represent approximately a $132 increase on the city’s por-tion of their property taxes next year.The city council will adopt the

final 2013 property tax levy and budget in December. At that time the preliminary levy can be decreased but not increased.*Following a presentation by

Nick Anhut of Ehlers and As-sociates, the city’s financial ad-visor, the council unanimously approved resolutions provid-ing for the sale of $1,755,000 general obligation improve-ment bonds and for the sale of $4,650,000 general obligation water revenue bonds to finance construction of the city’s recent street reconstruction improve-ments and refund current water revenue bonds for interest sav-ings. Anhut reported will result in considerable savings for the city over the life of the bonds due to the city’s high financial rating, including $394,631 in the water refunding bonds and $43,208 general obligation im-provement bonds.In its report to the council,

Ehlers and Associates states: “Belle Plaine has maintained very strong reserve levels, in our view, despite declines in local government aid . . . For the last audited year (Dec. 31, 2011), the city posted a surplus of $86,161, which increased

through second-graders, three more students in kindergar-ten through second grade than the 395 students it anticipated arrived and six fewer third through sixth-graders than the 478 it planned for at Oak Crest Elementary. The district ex-pected 250 seventh-, eighth-, and ninth-graders at its junior high school. It received 253.Superintendent Kelly Smith

said he was more surprised by eight new ninth-graders than eight unforeseen kindergarten students. He said the junior high students may have been move-ins over the summer or students who attended a pa-rochial elementary school but didn’t make the jump to a paro-chial high school.The district is able to handle

the additional kindergarten stu-dents thanks to the seventh sec-tion of kindergarten it added last year. The extra section means four sections are at 20 students and three at 21 students.“That’s on the high end,”

Smith said. “We normally would like that to be under 20 (kindergarten students).”The additional students have

a financial benefit for the school district. The additional 15 means about $78,000 more in per-pupil aid from the state should they stay for the entire school year, said Chuck Keller, the district’s finance director. The state pays public schools $5,224 in weighted general per-student aid. High-schoolers are worth more than kindergartners. A 10th-grader, for example, is worth 1.3 of the general per-student aid -- $6,791.2. Kinder-gartners are weighted at .56 of the $5,224 or $2,925.44.The state aid is based on aver-

age daily enrollment taken on six predetermined dates during the school year, Keller said.“We’re in good (financial)

shape because we’ve built a budget based on 1,600 stu-dents,” Smith said.

Former BPHS Volleyball Players Excelling on College CourtsChelsea Fogarty, Belle Plaine

High School graduate and Min-nesota State University-Manka-to volleyball player, could be on track to break the Mavericks’ record for career kills.Fogarty, a hitter, got her senior

year off to a fast start as she led the Mavericks in winning all four of their matches at the Cal State-Monterey Bay Tourna-ment Aug. 31-Sept. 1. Fogarty had a team-high 59 kills in the wins. The school record for ca-reer kills is 1,555 set by Jen Ja-cobs nearly 10 years ago. Fog-arty needs approximately 300 to surpass that total this season.Fogarty’s sister, Haley, who is

currently in her senior year of a standout volleyball career at BPHS, also plans to attend and play volleyball at MSU starting next season.Chelsea’s and Haley’s cousin,

Cassie Wolpern, who set the national record for career kills during a long varsity career at BPHS, played most of her col-lege volleyball at MSU (2004-06). Like her cousin is now, Wolpern was among the lead-ers in a number of statistical

categories while at MSU. She is currently the head volleyball coach at BPHS.Abby Wolpern, Cassie’s sister,

completed her senior season in volleyball at BPHS last year and has since taken her talents to Minnesota State University-Moorhead, where she is al-ready making a big impact for the Dragons. Wolpern had 10 kills as she helped lead Moor-head to a five-set victory over highly-ranked Eckerd in Lake-land, Fla., Thursday, improving Moorhead to 5-1 on the season. Cassie and Abby Wolpern

are the daughters of Sandi and Kevin Wolpern of Belle Plaine.Meanwhile, Kelsey Cham-

bers, formerly of Belle Plaine and a 2012 graduate of Jordan High School, had 13 kills as she led Northern State of Aberdeen, S.D., to a 3-1 win over Chelsea Fogarty’s Mavericks in a tour-nament this past weekend in Kearney, Neb. Fogarty had 11 kills for the Mavericks. In the same tournament, Fogarty had a combined 30 kills in wins over St. Cloud State and Tru-man State, and a loss to host Nebraska-Kearney.

Lucas Oil Pro 450 Motocross champion, Red Bull KTM rider Ryan Dungey of Belle Plaine earned another impressive over-all victory after claiming both moto wins at the final round of the season held at Lake Elsinore Motocross Park.Dungey got off to a decent

start in the first moto and was sitting in fourth position around the first corner. Near the half-way point of the race, he made the pass on Mike Alessi to take over the lead. Despite the hot temperatures, Dungey perse-vered and went on to take the first moto win.The second moto was almost

a repeat of the first. Dungey got off to a top five start, and within a few laps, found himself into the lead. Once out front, he stretched his lead and went on to take the second moto victory and his 10th overall win of the season.“It has been a great season,”

stated Dungey after the race. “It was already an honor to earn the championship but it feels great to end the season on the best note possible by taking the win. I want to extend my sin-cerest thanks to my team for all of their hard work. I am look-ing forward to the start of a new season and working with Red Bull KTM for 2013.”

Belle Plaine Wins MRC Opener

by Dan RuudThe Belle Plaine High School

volleyball team played seven matches in five days last week, topping Mankato East on Tues-day before beating Norwood Young America in the Minne-sota River Conference opener Thursday night, and winning three of five matches at the Marshall Tournament Friday and Saturday.The Tigers, 1-0 in the MRC,

6-2 overall, were scheduled to take on conference rival Jordan Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press. They will be at Watertown-Mayer for a conference match 7:15 p.m. Thursday and at home against Southwest Chris-tian 7:15 p.m. next Tuesday.

Tigers 3, Mankato East 0Belle Plaine rolled to one of

its easier wins of the season so far as it swept visiting Mankato East in a nonconference match last Tuesday night 25-15, 25-11, 25-13.Jordan Going led the Tigers in

kills with nine. Mariena Hayden had seven services aces.

Tigers 3, NYA 1 It won’t go down as the Tigers’

best performance of the season but it was good enough to win its Minnesota River Conference opener against Norwood Young America by counts of 23-25, 25-19, 25-21, 25-17 Thursday night at the BPHS gym.“Although we didn’t play par-

ticularly well, I have to give Norwood credit for keeping the ball off the floor and playing consistent defense,” said Belle Plaine coach Cassie Wolpern. “No one played significantly poorly or well for us, so I was happy to see them fight through this entire match as a team, finding a way to accomplish the win.”Hayden, an eighth-grader, had

a team-high 12 kills, followed by seniors Haley Fogarty and Kirsten Johnson with 10 and eight, respectively. Going (7), Marykay Nasby (5) and Amara Meyer (4) were the other lead-ers in kills. Meyer had three solo blocks.Johnson had 22 assists to go

along with four service aces.

Devin Lehman recorded 17 as-sists, while Claire Otto had 17 digs and Fogarty 10.

Marshall TournamentThe Tigers opened the 32-

team tournament with a sound 25-9, 25-20 win over North-field before dropping Friday’s nightcap to Waconia 22-25, 23-25. On Saturday, Belle Plaine defeated Belgrade-Brooten-El-rosa 23-25, 25-15, 15-6, lost to Eastview 20-25, 26-28, and in the 11th place match, swept Hutchinson 25-12, 26-24.“With the field of this tourna-

ment being arguably the best all year, as always, it is a good checkpoint for us to compare ourselves to top teams in the state, as well as our stamina playing the third through sev-enth matches of our week,” Wolpern said. “We had great moments and not so great mo-ments, but overall we were happy with our effort, not los-ing any set by more than five points.”The Tigers presented anoth-

er balanced attacking effort throughout the tournament, led by Fogarty, Hayden and John-son with 35, 23 and 20 kills, respectively. There were also

Football (continued from page 17)again marched deep into Belle Plaine territory only to have to settle for a short field goal at-tempt, which was blocked by Dauwalter. Late in the half, Tri-City was stopped on downs at the Belle Plaine 34.The Tigers’ best scoring threat

in the first half came when they moved from their own 12 yard line to beyond midfield before a Titan defender picked off a Howie pass.For much of the second half,

it looked as though the Tigers were going to take advantage of their situation (down by only six points) as they began to outplay the Titans.After forcing Tri-City to punt

on the opening possession of the third quarter, the Tigers put together their most impressive offensive series of the night as they quickly moved to inside the Titan 20. Howie then threw a pass (on fourth down) to the end zone, where it appeared Eliason, with a defender on him, had come down with the catch. But as the Tigers were celebrating, one of the officials hustled over and ruled the pass incomplete, much to the dis-may of Eliason and his team-mates.The Titans had dodged a bul-

let, and fortunately for them, they were still up 6-0 with time winding down in the third quarter.Finally, early in the fourth

quarter, what Belle Plaine fans had been waiting for all game occurred as the Tigers got on the scoreboard when Howie connected with Eliason down-field near the sideline, where Eliason then sidestepped a couple of defenders and broke free into the open field on a 66-yard catch and run to even the score, which stayed tied after the Tigers botched the two-point attempt with 10:52 left in the game.Belle Plaine’s defense was

on fire during Tri-City’s en-

suing possession, which ended up going backwards thanks to a key quarterback sack by Jake Schultz that forced the Titans to punt from near their end zone. Belle Plaine would end up with the ball right on the 50 yard line with 8:40 left to play.A couple of fourth-down con-

versions (both on quarterback sneaks by Howie) enabled the Tigers to gain a first down at the Titan 30. The Tigers then moved the ball to within 22 yards of the go-ahead score, but on fourth-and-2, they were un-able to convert and Tri-City had dodged another bullet with only a couple of minutes to play.The Titans were able to move

the ball some before being forced to punt, but what a punt it was as Belle Plaine found it-self at its own 9 yard line with 1:20 left to play.Just when it looked as though

both teams were going to agree to settle things in overtime, the Titans began to use their remain-ing time-outs as the Tigers went conservative with the ball. On fourth-and-11, Cameron Klehr had to punt from inside the end zone. The ball didn’t travel far, and that, coupled with a person-al foul penalty on Belle Plaine, set the Titans up 14 yards shy of the end zone with 16 seconds left in regulation.A couple of plays later, Tri-

City took advantage of its late gift as senior quarterback Ted Christian passed to Lloyd, who made a diving grab in the end zone with 5.6 seconds to play. The two-point conversion was successful and the newly-formed Titans and their many followers in the stands were celebrating a historic victory that will long be remembered in Le Center, Montgomery and Lonsdale.“We came out flat in the first

half, but defensively we battled and they did a great job of keep-ing us in the game and giving us a chance to win,” said John-ston. “I thought we controlled the second half but just were not able to punch in another touchdown. Our inexperience

showed with our mistakes, es-pecially our penalties. I think the kids gained a lot of big-game experience Friday night.”The Tigers had 253 yards of

total offense (123 rushing and 130 passing). Tri-City United statistics were not available.Howie completed 10 of 20

passes for 130 yards. Eliason had four catches for 80 yards and one touchdown. Zack Juaire had four grabs for 23 yards, followed by Dauwalter with one catch for 17 yards and Luke Narveson with one for 10 yards.The leading rushers were

Juaire (17 carries for 62 yards), Dillon Haefner (six for 33) and Derek Dahlke (11 for 17).Defensively, Brandon Boateng

had 13 tackles, followed by Zach Bahr and Ben Stier with 11 apiece. Dauwalter (10), Na-than Phillips (7), Mitchell Nel-son (3) and Narveson (3) were the other leaders in tackles. Up next for Belle Plaine is

a MRC game at Watertown-Mayer 7 p.m. this Friday. The Royals scored 96 points in their first two games as they rolled Rockford 52-20 in week one and beat Jordan 44-26 in their MRC opener Friday.Against Jordan, Watertown-

Mayer had 411 yards of offense, 316 of those on the ground. Its leading rushers against Jordan were quarterback Nick Tschida (137 yards), Joe Reinert (122 yards) and Max Zitzloff (57 yards). Reinert had three touch-downs, while Tschida and Zit-zloff both had two. All three are seniors. Juniors Luke Sandquist and Hunter Hulley combined to catch five passes for 95 yards.

Tri-City Celebrates New Dawn With Dramatic Win Over Tigersby Dan RuudThe Belle Plaine High School

football team let victory, or at least overtime, slip away Fri-day night as Tri-City United es-caped Belle Plaine with a 14-6 triumph.It was the Titans’ first Minne-

sota River Conference clash for the program, which is just two games old. Tri-City United, a cooperative between Le Cen-ter and Montgomery-Lonsdale high schools, was coming off a 21-20 win over Waterville-Ely-sian-Morristown the previous week.The Tigers, 0-1 in the MRC,

1-1 overall, got off to a slow start as they fell behind early. After Belle Plaine’s Nick Elia-son took the opening kickoff to the Tri-City 47 yard line, quar-terback Jayden Howie tossed the first of what would be three first-half interceptions, setting the Titans up at their own 27. Several plays later, running back Pat Lloyd took off on a 12-yard TD scamper. The ex-tra-point kick was no good and the count was 6-0 with 7:38 left in the opening quarter.Fortunately for Belle Plaine,

which was outplayed on both sides of the football throughout the first half, the deficit would remain just six heading into halftime.“We’re playing like a team that

doesn’t want to be here,” Tigers head coach Justin Johnston could be heard telling members of his team on the sideline in the second quarter.The score would have been

much worst for the Tigers had it not been for the defense stop-ping the Titans on downs at the Belle Plaine 9 yard line early in the second quarter.

A short time later, Tri-City was at the Tiger 26 but fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Gavin Dauwalter, who had two recoveries in the season opener against New Ulm. Later in the second quarter, the Titans

How To Cross The Road Safely10 RULESTO TEACH

YOUR CHILD ABOUTSCHOOL BUS SAFETY

Caution: The majority of children killed in pupil transportation are not killed on the bus, but outside the bus. Many are struck by motorists who fail to stop for the flashing red

lights and extended stop arm. This area around the stopped school bus is often referred to as the "DANGER ZONE." If you fail to stop for a school bus with red lights flashing &

stop arm extended it is chargeable as a gross misdemeanor punishable by a $3000.00 fine and/or one year in jail.

TruST THe ScHool BuS for THe BeST SafeTy for your cHild The Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences estimates that every year more than 800 school-aged children are killed as occupants in other motor vehicles or as pedestrians or bicyclists during “normal school transport hours.” Only about 2% of these deaths occur on the school bus, while 74% occur in private passenger vehicles. Most of these deaths could be prevented if children rode in school buses. Parents need to know that driving a child to school—or allowing them to ride to school with other teenagers--is not a safety smart decision—hands down, the school bus is the safest way to and from school.

Some Facts About School Bus Transportation...The school bus has become an American icon that represents the care and concern we have for our future generations. BUT DID YOU KNOW?

• Your child’s bus is manufactured according to the strictest safety standards making it the safest vehicle on the road?• School buses are required to have reinforced steel at the joints, around the gas tank and on the sides and roof to withstand side impacts and rollovers.• Occupant seating standards that include high back, closely padded seats serve as a passive restraint system for our children.• The flashing lights, yellow color and size all signal to the motoring public that drivers should use caution because children are present.• School bus drivers are carefully screened and trained. Strict criminal background checks as well as driving record checks are done on an on-going basis. Physical exams and drug and alcohol testing are conducted on all drivers throughout their employment.• Minnesota laws require annual training and evaluations to ensure that all drivers fully understand the responsibility they have when they get behind the wheel of a yellow bus.• Your child’s school bus driver is supported by an entire team dedicated to safety. From the mechanic who ensures that the bus is mechanically sound, to the dispatcher who makes sure that routes are designed to minimize traffic hazards, to the office staff that stay in compliance with state and federal regulations.• According to National Highway Traffic Safety data, your child is 50 times safer in a school bus than riding with friends or driving themselves to school, and 20 times safer than riding with a parent driver.• Moreover, safety experts estimate that cutting school bus service in the US would result in 800 additional student deaths per year.

School has started in the state of Minnesota. Motorists in the area need to be watchful for our small passengers. When you see a school bus, be alert that children are present, so use extra caution and be aware of the consequences of distracted driving around vehicles.Here is a break down of simple rules you need to know to keep children safe this school year:

• Flashing yellow lights mean a bus is going to stop. A driver behind the bus must slow down, prepare to stop, and not attempt to pass the bus. In Minnesota, it is illegal to pass on the right hand (door) side of a bus with either flashing yellow or red lights.

• When a stop arm is out, every driver, behind the bus or oncoming, must come to a complete stop 20 feet away from the bus. The driver cannot move the vehicle until the stop arm is retracted and the red lights are no longer flashing.

Violators of this law are guilty of a misdemeanor and may be punished with a fine of not less than $300. REMEMBER STOP ON RED - KIDS AHEAD! Thank you for doing are part to keep our kids safe!!
