by Dan RuudYou wouldn’t know it from the

outside or even within the store area itself, but big changes are taking place behind the walls of the Belle Plaine Country Store at 820 East Main Street.The former office and ware-

house area is being gutted and transformed into what this sum-mer will be home to a Hardware Hank store.The projected opening date is

Aug. 1. The name of the busi-ness will change from Belle Plaine Country Store to Gen-esis Town and Country, which will include the Hardware Hank brand and image.The Country Store is not being

affected by the project and will remain open throughout con-struction. The Country Store,

which opened in the fall of 2003, is observing its 10-year anniversary this year.Genesis General Manager Joe

Spinler said the total amount of retail space will more than double – from the current 5,000 square feet to approximately 12,000 square feet. No addi-tions are being constructed. The additional space will come from the renovation of the ad-

In what Belle Plaine High School prom advisor Lyle Noah said will be the most at-tended prom in school history, some 260 students will head to the Mall of America in Bloom-ington this Saturday night and remain there until the early-morning hours of Sunday for the post-prom party.It will mark the second time in

three years that the BPHS prom will be held at America’s larg-est shopping mall. As was the case in 2011, the

prom dinner will be catered by MOA’s Crave Restaurant. Prom itself will take place in the Great Room, which is lo-cated in Nickelodeon Universe amusement park. The Great Room features 4,000 square feet of a privately enclosed space with a stage, and audio-visual and theatrical lighting capabilities.“Groups of 60 to 550 fit per-

fectly for receptions, corporate meetings, award ceremonies, dinner galas and trade shows,” according to MOA’s website. From approximately 11 p.m.

to 2 a.m., Nickelodeon Uni-verse will be open exclusively for Belle Plaine’s post-prom participants. Noah said that prom-goers can

take limos to MOA or ride in a coach bus that will depart the school after the grand march. Students will not be allowed to drive themselves. All post-prom bus riders will return to the high school at approximate-

Belle Plaine dogs now have a place their owners or other guardians can take them to stretch their legs and/or just hang out with other canines for a while.The Belle Plaine Dog Park,

equipped with a newly-installed fire hydrant and plenty of open

space, is located at the hockey rink across the street from the junior/senior high school build-ing. It officially opened Mon-day evening with an open house that was attended by a couple of dozen people and man’s best friends. Coborn’s provided free hotdogs and bottled water at the event, which was held in 70-degree weather and bright sunshine.A joint facility agreement was

recently reached between the city and school district to fa-cilitate the dog park. The rink, which will function as a dog park during the spring and sum-mer months, is furnished with dog waste receptacles and pic-nic tables.The rink will function annu-

ally as a dog park during much of the year but will be used only for hockey during winter.

The Running of the Dogs

Another Change in Store Five consecutive days of plus-70 degree weather (Friday through Tuesday) had some local farmers prepping their fields for spring planting, especially on the drier soils like this one on the Belle Plaine prairie with planters standing by (below). However, spring planting activity is expected to cease for a while as the forecast the rest of this week calls for some rain possi-bly mixing with snow. It will likely be deep into May before most farmers can complete their spring planting.

A number of dogs gave the Belle Plaine Dog Park a test spin during Monday evening’s open house. More photos of the event appear on page 16.

Scott County Attorney’s 2013Salary Appeal in Judge’s HandsCiliberto: County Board RescindedAccepted Offer What constitutes an accepted

settlement offer? The answer to that question might go a long way toward determining what Scott County Attorney Pat Cili-berto’s 2013 salary will eventu-

ally be.Monday, attorneys for Cilib-

erto and the county board met with Judge Kevin Mark in chambers and discussed fac-ets of Ciliberto’s appeal of his 2013 salary and the motion to require the board stick to the of-fer Ciliberto claims was prop-erly made and accepted. The county board contends the offer was withdrawn.

Mark said he would issue a de-cision “soon.”Ciliberto is appealing a deci-

sion the county board made in December setting his 2013 sal-ary at $131,840 – a 3 percent increase from the $128,000 he earned in 2012.Among the justifications for

Vietnam Vet Brought a Gift, a Message for BPHS StudentsHe arrived with a keepsake

and a message to Belle Plaine Senior High students and left town with more than he brought. Gary Gullickson was impressed.Gullickson was recently at

BPHS for his annual visit to Allison Jacobson’s sophomore English class. As he has each of his seven visits, Gullickson shares with students his writ-ten story about the Vietnam War and how over three years it changed his life forever.He asked students how many

of their family members served in Vietnam. Several raised their hands. How many of them knew somebody who died ei-ther in service or either directly or indirectly from their experi-ences during the war. Several hands went up.“They nailed me with that,”

Gullickson said. “I didn’t ex-pect that.”

He brought a piece of the Viet-nam Veterans’ Memorial wall with him. When the wall was built in the early-1980s, excess pieces of the polished, reflec-tive black stone were preserved. Gullickson and other veterans obtained several excess pieces and he presents them to stu-dents at the many schools he visits annually.When he visited Belle Plaine

in early-April, Jacobson said her students decided the piece he brought would be kept as a gift to the sophomore class, the Class of 2015. It will be dis-played somewhere in the senior high portion of the building with an inscription of its mean-ing and origin.Gullickson arrived in Vietnam

in 1967 a teenager fresh off the family farm in Mazeppa, Minn. and left about three years later as a disillusioned young man who felt soldiers were expend-

able pawns in a war based on fabrications and half-truths.“I joined the Marine Corps.

It was the thing to do. The war came along and I wanted to serve my country,” he said.In addition to talking with stu-

dents about the experiences of war he writes about, Gullick-son offered thanks to the Belle Plaine community. The com-munity raised $450 for the Feed the Vets, an organization that helps veterans in need. The money was raised during last fall’s presentation of “The Mu-sic Man,” a play Jacobson co-directed with Allie Burmeister.People willing to help veterans

– people they don’t know and will likely ever meet – takes some of the pain away.“It meant the world to me.

It makes the effort worth it,” Gullickson said.

Not Like TVNow about to turn 64, Gullick-

son wants to make sure students to know the truth about war, that it’s not like the TV shows he watched as a young man, where the hero returns next week. He wants students to know the re-ality of war. Young men and women die. They don’t come back the same as the person who left. In Vietnam, Gullick-son saw rampant use of illicit drugs and horrible killing. He used drugs to cope. He lost his faith.Gullickson came home to pro-

tests and couldn’t find work. Soldiers were abused by the people they supposedly serv-ing. Even though he fought for freedom, his opinions for years were shunned.He didn’t talk publicly about

his experience for years. In 1991, his book, “Vietnam: Our Story, One on One” was pub-lished. Like Vietnam, he believes the

wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have much in common, that in his view, global politics and falsehoods played a role in their origins. The students he speaks to could one day serve as he did.Holding nothing back, he can-

didly answers any question the students ask. Did he take lives? Yes.“I’m there to tell the truth. The

truth is what they deserve most of all,” he said. “I answer what-ever questions they have. The students decide where to take the conversation.”Not everyone supports

Gullickson’s annual visits to Belle Plaine. Some community members oppose his opinions on drug use and how the war changed his views on religion, Jacobson said. Parents may pull their children from the sopho-more English class the day of the visit, Jacobson said.Dave Kreft, the high school’s

principal, supports Jacobson’s decision to offer students Gullickson’s book or host his visits to talk about the experi-ences he’s written about.“It’s one perspective. It’s not

the only perspective,” Kreft said.Gullickson tells the students

up front “I’m not here to change you” but rather to share his views.As the father of three boys

with children of their own, he is worried about the generation of people in high schools today. He suffers from neuropathy, a condition his doctors believe is linked to exposure to Agent Orange, a herbicide the military used to deprive the enemy of cover during the Vietnam War. He doesn’t want students to experience what he did 40-plus years ago.“This is our next group of lead-

ers. These are the people who’ll take care of us,” he said.

Some members of the cast of Belle Plaine High School’s fall musical, “The Music Man,” met with Gary Gullickson during his recent visit to the junior-senior high. During the fall play’s presentation, volunteers raised $450 for Feed the Vets, an organization that helps veterans in need. The group includes (back row, from left) Patrick Schafer, Nick Johnson, Max Hughes, Dylan O’Brien, Nicholas Covington, Ryan Wolke, (front row, from left) Kaylee Shields, Rylee Pumper, Gullickson, Alec Lorenz and co-director Allison Jacobson.

A Meaningful Farewell

Members of the Morrison family and friends attending John Morrison’s funeral Mass Satur-day at St. John Assumption Catholic Church in Faxon Township rode wagons drawn by the Fahey family’s draft horses to the adjacent church cemetery. John Morrison’s casket was in a wagon accompanied by family members. It followed a wagon and team of Percheron from Ames Construction with Morrison’s grandsons (from left) Scott Morrison, Kyle Savage and Greg Morrison aboard. Morrison was an avid horseman, raising and showing many different breeds. He was especially proud of his Clydesdales. Committed to the community, Morrison served many years on the Belle Plaine School Board, the Faxon Township Board, Minnesota Valley Creamery Board, as Sibley County ASC director, and on the Belle Plaine Coop Board. Morrison died April 22. He was 95.

Oak Crest fifth-grader Trevor Gruhn and fourth-grader Cecelia Giesen also had their art on display at the capitol. Gruhn was recognized as one of the two runners-up in the elementary level. The Capitol Art Show is a long standing tradition of the Art Educators of Minnesota in collaboration with the Council for Art Education and the National Art Educators Association to recognize and promote the achievements of students through their outstanding work in visual arts in Minnesota.

Honored ArtistsBelle Plaine High School junior Savanna Schatz (left) was among the students honored when her work was recently displayed at the Minnesota State Capitol. Her work, “Dendrochronol-ogy,” is a mixed media piece named after the scientific study of dating layers of ancient trees, the layering process used to create trees. Freshman Autumn Erdman’s (right) watercolor, “Pas de Deux,” was also displayed at the capitol. Erdman’s painting of an antelope symbolizes her participation in ballet and the animal’s grace.

Frank J. Pekarna

Frank J. Pekarna, 84, passed away the mid morning of Monday, April 29, 2013, with his loving family present at his bedside at St. Gertrude’s Health Care and Rehabilitation Center in Shakopee.The visitation will be on

Sunday, May 5, from 2-8 p.m. at Ballard-Sunder Funeral Home 104 West First Street, Jordan and one and one-half hours prior to the mass at the church. The Mass of Christian Burial will be on Monday, May 6 at 11 a.m., at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 210 North Broadway, Jordan. Father Timothy Yanta and Father Francis Roach will preside. Frank will be laid to rest at St. John’s Calvary Cemetery in Jordan. Memorials are preferred and will be distributed in Frank’s memory by the family.On Thursday, August 30,

1928 in the family home in Jordan, Frank Joseph was born to parents Joseph and Rosanna (Friedel) Pekarna. Most of Frank’s childhood years were spent growing up in Jordan. As a young boy, his love for the outdoors was established, where Frank enjoyed hunting and fishing. Attending St. John’s Catholic School, he went on to play football and baseball for Jordan High School and later

graduated in 1946. Furthering his education,

Frank went to college, but due to his father’s illness, he needed to return home and help run the family business, ‘Pekarna’s Meat Market.’ Frank spent the rest of his life, dedicated to serving the community with fresh meats and various other delicacies. Even after retiring, he could be found stopping by making sure the boys were making him proud of the family name.While attending a dance at the

Spring Lake Pavilion, Frank met the love of his life, Celina Hartman, aka “Skirt”. Their love grew and on August 7, 1950 at St. Benedict Catholic Church, Frank and Cele exchanged their wedding vows. They were blessed with eight children, Sandy, Erin, Dan, John, Ken, Mike, Gregg and Anne. As a family, they spent

countless hours at the family cabin in Grand Rapids. Especially after retirement, Frank and Cele loved to travel. They took many trips to Europe and above all Germany being their favorite destination. For many years, they wintered in Arizona and treasured their time with family and friends there. In later years, Frank and Cele enjoyed “date day” every Monday, with special stops to Sam’s Club, Aldi’s, Fleet Farm and dinner at the Culver’s. Most importantly, Frank took

great pleasure in enjoying the simple things of life and had a variety of interests. He was an avid outdoors man. Frank loved hunting and fishing with his family and friends. In his spare time, Frank was the family’s historian and loved telling the family history and stories of his life.The greatest passion in his life

was his family and treasured the time he spent with them whether it was taking care of his parents in their later years, watching his children and grandchildren at

their sporting and school events. After the death of Cele, Frank reinvented himself and took on both roles of grandparents and parent. He lived life with one simple philosophy - always pay it forward.An icon of the Jordan

community, Frank was a member of the Knights of Columbus, Catholic Aid, Jordan Fire Department, Jaycee’s, Lions Club, Commercial Club and a Senior Ambassador. A faithful servant of the Lord, he was a member of St. John’s Church and participated in the choir, cemetery board, restoration committee and received the Catholic Family of the Year and Distinguished Graduate Award.Frank was also a dedicated,

caring, and proud family man. He was a man of few words, with a humble personality. Frank will be sincerely missed

and remembered always by those who loved him, especially his children, Sandy Pekarna of Shakopee, Erin Lorenz of Inver Grove Heights, Dan (Tracie) Pekarna of Jordan, John (Merna) Pekarna of Jordan, Ken (Sherry) Pekarna of Jordan, Mike (Sue) Pekarna of Chanhassen, Gregg (Terri) Pekarna of Jordan, Anne (Keith) Wolf of Jordan; 17 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; brother, Dr. Joe (Ellie) Pekarna of Jordan; sisters, Mary Jo (Bill) Gilmore of Savage, Sue Bruins of Savage, Margaret “Mugs” Pekarna of Edina; other loving relatives and devoted friends.He is preceded in death by his

loving wife, Cele; parents, Joe and Rosanna; and brother-in-law, Ralph Bruins.Pall bearers for Frank will be

sons, Dan, John, Ken, Mike, Gregg and son-in-law, Keith Wolf. Honorary pallbearers will be Dr. Joe Pekarna, Dr. Paul Stahler Sr., Ralph Wolf, Roger Dubbe, Cal Brown, Father Francis Roach, Cy Wolf, Roger Hartman and Frank Kipp.

Happy May Day! There are many traditions worldwide that are tied to May 1st. for in-stance, did you get a basket of flowers from a special friend? Did you chase them for a kiss? Does anybody dance around a Maypole anymore? In many countries, May 1 is celebrated as an equivalent to our “Labor Day”. Many countries have pa-rades and festivals on this day.On May 1, 1941, the classic

film “Citizen Kane” premiered in New York City. It was di-rected by Orson Welles. A team of five writers were involved. Herman J. Mankiewicz, Orson Welles, Roger Q. Denny, John Houseman and Mollie Kent teamed up to write the screen-play for this movie. If you have never seen this film, it is one that you may want to try out. We have it in our system on DVD. Many other films and stories will make reference to this movie. You will gain a bet-ter understanding of those ref-erences by watching this won-derful piece of American film history. Stop in at your library and ask for it. We will gladly get it for you.You might be seeing celeb-

rities talking about libraries and reading during May. May is designated as “Get Caught Reading Month” by the Asso-ciation of American Publishers.One of our spring traditions

here at the Belle Plaine Library has been to see who brought in the first dandelion of the year.for some reason, nobody has come forward with dandelions yet this year. They would look nice in a May basket. Just don’t count on me chasing you.We are still in the process of

repainting and getting new carpet. We will do our best to keep operating smoothly with a “mini-library”. It is likely that you will need to come and go using the back door during the renovation. Your cooperation and patience has been and will continue to be helpful until the work is done.Library Hours:Sunday & Monday: ClosedTuesday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday 1-8 p.m.Thursday 1-8 p.mfriday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Saturday: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.New Arrivals May 1, 2013

Scott SWCD Conservation Day Friday

Despite Late Start, Corn Farmers Could Still Enjoy High Yieldsby Jeff Coulter, University

of Minnesota Extension Weather conditions are delay-

ing the onset of corn planting, but wide fluctuations in corn planting progress are not un-common in Minnesota. By the end of April, about 50 percent or more of Minnesota’s corn acres were planted in 2009, 2010 and 2012, compared to less than 5 percent in 2008 and 2011. While most growers prefer to

get their crops off to an early start, early planting is not a re-quirement for high yields. In 2008 and 2011, when it was mid-May before half of Min-nesota’s corn acres were plant-ed, state-average grain yields ranked third and fifth among Corn Belt states, respectively. university of Minnesota Ex-

tension corn planting date stud-ies conducted at the u of M Research and Outreach Centers supports this. In a study from 1988 to 2003 at Lamberton, planting dates ranging from

April 21 to May 6 produced grain yields within 1 percent of the maximum. In another study from 2009 to 2011 at Lamber-ton, Morris, and Waseca that was funded by the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, grain yield was within 1 percent of the maximum when planting occurred between April 25 and May 10. In both studies, rapid decline in corn yield did not oc-cur until planting was delayed beyond mid-May.Corn requires soil tempera-

tures of 50 degrees fahren-heit or higher for germination. However, once the last week of April is reached, corn planting should generally occur as soon as soils are dry enough, regard-less of soil temperature. If corn is planted into soils that are too wet, the advantages of an earli-er planting date can be negated due to soil compaction around the seed zone, which can result in poor growth of nodal roots

and reduced uptake of water and nutrients.A planting depth of 2 inches

is generally optimal for most planting dates and soils, but can be deeper on coarse-textured soils to ensure that the seed is placed in moist soil. Avoid the temptation to plant corn shal-low when soils are cold, as planting depths less than 1.75 inches increase the risk of poor nodal root development and root lodging later in the season.In order to maximize econom-

ic return, a general guideline for growers in Minnesota is to stick with the planned seed choices until May 20 to 25. When plant-ing occurs after May 20 to 25, it is wise to switch to hybrids that are 5 to 7 relative maturity units earlier than full season for the region. for more resources on corn

production from university of Minnesota Extension, visit www.extension.umn.edu/corn

MVEC Holds Annual MeetingIt was another successful year

of reliable power, quality ser-vice and competitive electric rates, according to General Manager Roger Geckler at Min-nesota Valley Electric Coopera-tive’s 76th annual meeting on April 23 in Jordan.“That’s our goal. It’s why we

exist,” said Geckler.Embracing new technologies

has played a big part in that success, said Geckler. Looking ahead, MVEC recently com-pleted a $24 million three-year work plan for future construc-tion and upgrades within the cooperative’s nine-county ser-vice area.Geckler outlined three new

member programs launching in 2013: the Beat the Peak Energy Challenge (featuring $20,000 in team and individual cash

prizes), a WiFi programmable thermostat project and a pay-back component to the Pay as you Go pre-pay program.financially, the cooperative

is in great shape, according to Gerry Mareck, vice president of finance. Increased kilowatt hour sales, holding distribution costs flat and well-managed whole-sale power purchases allowed the cooperative to give a $1.5 million refund to the member-ship in December 2012, in ad-dition to a Capital Credit refund this March for $751,000.In the board of directors’ elec-

tion, incumbents Deborah Er-ickson of Savage and James Connelly of Belle Plaine were re-elected. Gary Haberman of Chanhassen was elected to re-place Tom Graham of Hender-son, who retired from the board of directors this month.

Le Sueur County Board BacksCambria Project, State GrantCount Le Sueur County com-

missioners among those in sup-port of Cambria’s expansion and its efforts to implement transportation improvements along Highway 169.The Le Sueur County Board

recently voted 4-1 to support the City of Le Sueur and its application for a Minnesota Transportation and Economic Development (TED) grant. The grant provided by the Minneso-ta Department of Employment and Economics and the Minne-sota Department of Transpor-tation (Mn/DOT) will, if won, provide up to approximately $5.26 million for relocating a

rest area along Highway 169 and the elimination of left turns at the intersection of Highway 169 and Pumpkin Hill Road, the Le Sueur News-Herald re-cently reported.Cambria wants to expand its

business on to the 28.4 acres the state owns and uses as a Highway 169 rest stop. The 277,000-square-foot expansion will allow the company to hire 220 employees.Lawmakers representing Belle

Plaine – Sen. Kevin Dahle, DFL-Northfield, and Rep. Kel-by Woodard, R-Belle Plaine – are sponsoring legislation supporting the acquisition of

the rest stop.Relocating the rest area will

cost about $3.6 million. The reconfiguration of the highway to eliminate left-hand turns is expected to cost about $3.92 million. The city and county will be expected to contribute $500,000 each. Cambria and Mn/DOT would split a contri-bution of $1.2 million with the grant picking up the remaining $5.26 million, the newspaper reported.Le Sueur County Administra-

tor Darrell Pettis said the coun-ty would fund its share through bonding, state aid and gas tax revenue if the grant is awarded.

ter in Shakopee will host a free skin cancer screening Wednes-day, May 8 starting at 6 p.m. The screening will be at the St. Francis Specialty Clinic in the Medical Office Building, Suite 250, 1455 St. francis Avenue.The St. Francis Cancer Center

New Prague May Permit EarlierSunday Liquor SalesAfter its mayor visited to a

nearby community that per-mits restaurants to sell liquor beginning at 10 a.m. Sundays, the New Prague City Council began consideration of an or-dinance intended to keep city businesses on equal footing.Mayor Chuck Nickolay re-

cently visited Montgomery where he noted restaurants had a two-hour head start on Sunday alcohol sales over restaurants in New Prague. Nickolay asked the New Prague City Council to consider allowing restaurants to begin serving alcohol 10 a.m. rather than at noon, the New

Prague times recently reported.In Belle Plaine, restaurants

may not begin selling alcohol until noon. Scott County per-mits Sunday alcohol sales at 10 a.m. in its townships. Arlington recently moved to change its start time for Sunday sales from noon to 10:30 a.m.The New Prague City Council

will continue consideration of the proposal to amend the city’s existing ordinance on Sunday alcohol sales May 6.If the city council approves the

proposal, it will be the subject of a public hearing and could be up for a final vote May 20.

Thirty Years Ago This Week Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,Jihad? Erase this word from

your vocabularyThe terms Jihad, Jihadis, Jihad-

ist, are being used entirely too often. Even vP Biden used it this week. STOP! Why, you may ask? Let’s start at the definition and meaning of the word. A ‘Jihad” is a justified, holy-war, initiated by a proclamation or ‘fatwa’ by a recognized religious authority in Islam. All Muslims would be justified and expected to participate in a true and justi-fied Jihad. Fortunately, educated Islamic believers know better than to follow radical guidance, just as most informed non-Mus-lims do not condemn Islam as a whole because of the distorted views of a few.By referring to acts of terrorism

as a ’jihad’, or by calling terror-ists ‘jihadis’, we lend credibility and influence to the perpetrators and their warped, radical views.What should we call them?

Criminals, radicals, terrorists, delinquents, miscreants – take your pick, my personal favorite: low hanging fruit.You wouldn’t call a serial mur-

derer a champion, would you?David Spalding

angular at Belle Plaine, Arling-ton took first place, followed by Belle Plaine in second and Jor-dan third. The only winners for the Tigers were Laurie Wolpern in the 400-meter dash and Sally Halbmaier in the 100.

60 Years Ago

(1953)voters would soon decide on

a bond issue to construct a new junior-senior high school. The biggest argument in favor of the bond issue was the crowded en-rollment. The high school was designed to hold 175 students but enrollment was 320.L.E. Lieske and Edwin Stier

were candidates for reelection for the three-year term on the school board.Standard Oil Station, which

had been run by John f. Dean, was leased to Norbert Schmitt, who was to take over its opera-tion. The Schmitts would move to Belle Plaine from Le Sueur, where they had been living.“We just didn’t have the

breaks,” was coach Miller’s reaction to the 7-6 defeat his high school club suffered to the hands of the Montgomery Redbirds. Melchior, Olson and Johnson accounted for all the Tiger hitting with a pair apiece.Darleen venske, daughter of

Mr. and Mrs. Theodore ven-ske, became the bride of Cecil Clyde Gardiner Jr. of Oakland, Calif.Musicians of Belle Plaine

Ortman BackingUpgrading Highway 212 in Carver CountySen. Julianne Ortman, R-

Chanhassen, is backing a bill that will allocate $20 million to upgrade a section of High-way 212 in Carver County from County Road 11 in west to County Road 43.The funding, if ultimately ap-

proved, will pay for acquisition of land and upgrade of the road-way from two undivided lanes to a four lane divided highway. Heavy trucks use the stretch of

roadway at a high rate and im-provements should be a high priority by the Minnesota De-partment of Transportation (Mn/DOT), Ortman said in a press release.Her bill also proposes $8 mil-

lion for right-of-way acquisition for the future construction of an interchange at the intersection of Highway 212 and County Road 140 near Cologne, the Chaska Herald recently reported.

HeadingHome Meeting May 6Currently, there are people in

our community who have no-where to stay. We know of those sleeping in cars with their chil-dren, an elderly couple sleeping in their car, those camping out, a man living in a pole barn, a young woman sleeping in a tree house and open garages, and many more.A record number of families

are calling CAP, but available resources cannot meet the over-whelming need. Progress has been made with the implemen-tation of the plan, but there is so

much more we can do.It is time for us as a community

to come together to find solu-tions to poverty and homeless-ness in our midst. To this end, HeadingHome Scott Carver is holding a community meeting on May 6 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Chaska from 7:15 p.m. to 9 p.m. The church is lo-cated at 300 East 4th Street.for more Information, contact

Green Isle City Council OKs First Step on New Fire TruckWith one fire department

pumper truck long overdue for retirement and in need of ex-pensive repairs, the Green Isle City Council approved asking manufacturers what a brand new truck would cost.The council unanimously

granted fire Chief Scott vos’s request to seek bids on a new fire truck to replace the 1991 ford truck lost in a crash in October of 2011 responding to a fire call in Jessenland Town-ship. The request at the April 23 council meeting has the backing of Jessenland, Green Isle and Washington Lake town boards -- townships the Green Isle fire Department serves. The city and townships have about 481 residential units in a 40-square-mile service district.vos is estimating the new truck

will cost between $285,000 and $320,000.Mayor Dale ZumBerge

stressed going out for bids is not an approval to purchase a new pumper truck. If the coun-cil ultimately approves the pur-chase, the city and its residents and township residents will fund the purchase.With the council’s OK, the de-

partment’s plan is to order the truck later this year for 2014 delivery. It will seek financ-ing (3½ percent over 12 to 15 years) from the USDA. The de-partment will use $60,000 in in-surance settlement on the 1991 ford and donations to reduce the payments to property own-ers in the fire district.

Donation Bought Time

The city council has some time on its side, thanks to the U.S. Department of Defense’s do-nation of a 1991 KME pumper truck via the Minnesota Depart-ment of Natural Resources. The 22-year-old truck is now the de-partment’s front-line pumper.The fire department’s 1991

pumper truck was totaled in a crash in October of 2011. The crash left a 1984 International truck as the department’s pri-mary pumper truck. Although it is now in a secondary service role, the truck suffers perfor-mance shortcomings during fire calls, vos told the council in a written update. “The 1984 is not currently capable of safely supplying water for interior at-tack operations,” according to the report.He said fire trucks typically

have a service life of 35 to 40 years. Bringing it to proper performance standards would cost “a minimum of $35,000 to $40,000” for a new pump and interior plumbing, vos said.Councilor Brian Oelfke asked

vos and Danny Kroells, the department’s second assistant chief, if they looked at a used truck or a demonstrator model.

Kroells said used trucks are frequently in only slightly bet-ter shape than the trucks Green Isle has and oftentimes need expensive repairs to meet in-surance standards. They also lack the kind of warranty pro-tection the city wants. Demon-strator models, Kroells said, of-tentimes come with more bells and whistles than the city and townships would want to pur-chase because the manufacturer wants to showcase what it has to offer.vos told the council the de-

partment is seeking a new, workman-like fire truck on par with the 1991 ford the city lost in the crash.“We’re not looking for a pa-

rade truck,” he said.

In other action at the April 23 meeting, the Green Isle City Council:* Paid bills totaling

$36,645.33.* Heard a quarterly report on

city finances from AEM Finan-cial.* Approved spending up to

$400 on a sprayer to eradicate weeds at Irish Yard baseball park and in city parks.

School Board Receives BPEARequest for New Contract TalksThe Belle Plaine School Dis-

trict recently received a formal request from the Belle Plaine Education Association to begin talks on a new two-year contract for the district’s 100-plus teach-ers.Superintendent Kelly Smith

informed the school board Mon-day night he received a request from the teachers’ bargaining group requesting the beginning

of negotiations for a contract for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years. Both sides seemingly agree the onset of talks should wait for the end of the legisla-tive session and approval of the state’s education budget, Smith said.Randy Carlson, Rose Simones

and Mary Beth Kubes will rep-resent the teachers’ group. Di-rectors Mike Daly, Gary Stein-

hagen, Matt Lenz and Smith will represented the school district.Unlike previous years, the dis-

trict and teachers do not have to complete their negotiations by Jan. 15, 2014. In Belle Plaine, the contract with teachers typi-cally lays the groundwork for contract negotiations with the bargaining group representing the district’s para-professionals, custodial and clerical staffs.

The Opener’s Better With a Friend

Valley View Golf Course opened for business Friday, drawing golf-starved players from throughout the area to Belle Plaine. Sean Miller (putting) and Ryan Logelin, both from Prior Lake, logged their first of many rounds for the season. But along the way, the pair realized they both needed a little work on the practice green before their next round. Miller and Loge-lin both bogeyed the hole. Logelin finished the course’s first nine holes with a 46. Miller said he “lost his card” several holes earlier.

Residents Hoping Cologne WillAddress Concerns About Builder

While the city is not about to do anything to dissuade devel-opers and builders from doing good business in Cologne, a group of residents believes one home builder needs to be held to its promises.The builder says it is true to its

word.A group of residents in the

Winkler Addition, northwest of Benton Lake, wants the Cologne City Council to hold Novak-Fleck to the covenants the city approved as part of a residential neighborhood it ap-proved almost 10 years ago. They claim the builder has not kept its promises regarding variable types of housing styles and elevations of the lot and house itself.The council is planning to dis-

cuss the issue during its next meeting Monday (May 6, 7 p.m.). The city is planning on its community development staff and a representative of Novak-Fleck will be in attendance.The residents claim Novak-

Fleck is not following the cov-enants and is building houses that are too cookie-cutter, too similar to meet the spirit of the covenants. “They’re a nice looking house, but they’re put-ting them up right next to each other,” Julie Cink, a resident of Winkler Trail, told the council during a public comment por-tion of a council meeting April

15.Cink and her neighbors are

asking the council to push No-vak-Fleck to explain itself, to respond to their concerns. The neighbors claim the duplica-tion of a similar housing styles is among the factors pushing down the value of the houses in the neighborhood.

The Lawyer Says . . .After checking with City At-

torney Larry Harris, Mayor Matt Lein said the current in-terpretation is Novak-Fleck has not violated the letter of the covenants because there are open lots between the houses that were built. Lein said the covenants prohibit the builder from putting up the same style house within a specified num-ber of completed lots from the same style house.Novak-Fleck Owner Rick No-

vak, said the company is fol-lowing the covenants set up by the developer back in 2004. He said his company just cancelled plans for a house to be built on Prairie View Drive in Cologne because it was too close to an-other house with the same de-sign.The residents want the city to

flex its legal muscle. Cink and her neighbors told the council they want to avoid seeking legal counsel on the issue. They hope

their concerns can be worked out amicably.Lein agrees. He wants to “alert

Novak-Fleck there is some up-rising” in its development and encourage the company to ad-dress the concerns of its past customers. He told the resi-dents April 15 he was uncer-tain the city could help, but he promised to look into the issue on their behalf. Councilor Scott Williams said covenants are a “touchy” area that are easier to write and approve than en-force.Lein is not confident the coun-

cil is interested in a potentially expensive fight to change exist-ing houses.“They can do what they’re do-

ing,” he said. “There’s nothing we can do about what they’re doing now. Going forward, hopefully we can have some say.”Lein wants to avoid sending

the message to the development community that Cologne is an undesirable place to do busi-ness. After years of stagnant development, Cologne and its budget are counting on addi-tional fees associated with new construction. As of last month, it has seen over 12 permits for new house and school construc-tion so far this year.“We definitely want the new

housing,” he said.

TIGER ACTIVITIES

When this column hits the streets in this week’s paper, it will already be May, 2013. It seems that the last full month of school arrived quickly following the extended presence of winter throughout March and April. Those April snow showers will hopefully bring May flowers and certainly many events as we begin to wrap up another school year. Here is a quick recap of some of the upcoming events:May 1 – Visual Arts Competition at Glencoe-Silver LakeMay 3 – DARE Graduation at Oak Crest Elementary (9 a.m.)May 4 – Prom in the South Gym and then Mall of America for

Dance and Post PromMay 9 – LEAP Awards Program at Oak Crest Elementary

(1:45 p.m.)May 10 & 11 – Pops Concert and Art Show in North GymMay 13 – 5th and 6th Grade Band Concert at Oak Crest

ElementaryMay 20 – 7th -12th Grade Choir Concert in North GymMay 22 – Band Program Concert in the Park & Senior High

Awards NightMay 29 – Dollars for Scholars Awards Night in South GymMay 29 & 30 – ELC 5th & 6th Grade Talent Show at Oak Crest

ElementaryJune 2 – Graduation at 2 p.m. in South GymJune 5 – Last day of school for students in K-11On Monday evening I attended the Town Hall meeting that

Governor Mark Dayton held at the Shakopee High School along with Board member Judy Nagel and Special Services Director Tricia Denzer. The event was one of several that Governor Dayton is holding around the state to present his priorities for this legislative session and to hear concerns from constituents. There was a sizable crowd on hand to participate in the discus-sion that covered a variety of topics including education, eco-nomic development, transportation and taxes.Governor Dayton spoke at length about his vision for Minnesota

and his priorities for this legislative session. His priorities include a $90 million investment in a growing economy, a $344 million investment in E-12 education for initiatives such as all-day Kindergarten and early education scholarships; a $240 mil-lion investment in Higher Education to support the University of Minnesota, the MnSCU system and for additional support of student loan & scholarship packages; and a $80 million in Aid to Local Governments to replace aid that has been significantly reduced over previous legislative sessions. With only three weeks remaining in the legislative session and still a great deal of disagreement on details within major bills, it still remains to be seen how successful the Governor will be in achieving his priorities this session.As always, if you have any questions about school matters,

please feel free to call me at 873-2400 or check our website at www.belleplaine.k12.mn.us. You may also find me on Twitter at @BPTiger716. Go Tigers!

WHAT BENEFITS YOU MOST?

It is up to the individual to decide when to begin receiving Social Security benefits. A person can take a reduced benefit as early as age 62. Or, a former employee can claim a full benefit at what the Social Security Administration considers to be full retirement age, which, for example, is 66 for anyone born between 1943 and 1954. Otherwise, a person can wait until age 70 for yet a larger benefit. Bear in mind that, once you elect to receive a reduced benefit, you remain at that level for the rest of your life (with normal cost-of-living increases). The longer you are apt to live, the more you benefit from waiting for the larger check. The current generation of retirees is more likely than the last generation to have active retirement years filled with a mix of travel, sports, and education. How will you spend your retirement years, and how can you fund those years? Social Security may fill only a limited amount of your financial demands. Visit VALLEY BANK MINNESOTA at 200 Creek Lane North, Jordan, to learn about our savings programs. Our home equity loans help you tap into extra cash for your personal needs. Call us at 952-492-2666. HINT: If your income for the year, including one-half of Social Security benefits, exceeds a certain base amount, your benefits are partially taxable.

jacent former office and ware-house area (see photo).Lynzi Kleist, who has worked

for the Country Store for seven years, including the past five as manager, will continue in that capacity after the project is completed and the complex be-comes known as Genesis Town and Country.The Country Store currently

stocks pet supplies/food, live-stock feed, men’s and women’s work clothes, tools, gifts “with a farm twist” and other mer-chandise. All that will continue to be provided after Hardware Hank is added to the complex, which will include an assort-ment of hardware items ranging from tools to steam cleaners to folding tables and chairs. There will also be items available for rent.“There will be a total store re-

set with a blend of our existing products and new products with

an emphasis on hardware,” Spinler said.Hardware Hank is a part of

United Hardware Distributing Company, a dealer-owned cor-poration based in Plymouth that provides distribution services for about 610 member-owned stores, the majority of which operate under the Hardware Hank trade name. In addition, the company services about 800 other stores owned by non-members. It was founded in 1945 as a furniture and hard-ware distributor. The furniture division was sold in 1953, and it became a dealer-owned re-tailers’ cooperative in 1957 when majority control was as-sumed by a group of hardware store owners.In addition to servicing the

Hardware Hank stores, United Hardware also services Trust-Worthy Hardware Stores, Gold-en Rule Lumber Centers and Ranch & Pet Supply stores.

Sibley East Marching Band is BackAlthough plans are for a reti-

cent reintroduction, marching band is on its way back at Sib-ley East.The program hit its last note

in the 1980s. But Sibley East recently announced march-ing band is being reinstated in the high school curriculum in 2013-14 academic year.

Band Director Jim Callahan said the effort will begin with homecoming in 2014 and add additional events from there. He said the marching band pro-gram is an important piece of the high school band experience Sibley East students cannot currently enjoy, the Arlington Enterprise recently reported.

But the district needs help, Callahan recently said. Outdat-ed drum line equipment is not for the most part unusable, he said. The school is looking for individuals or businesses will-ing to contribute toward equip-ment and the reestablishment of the marching band program, the newspaper reported.

the appeal is a county study in-dicating his salary is more than $9,000 under the average sal-ary metro area county attorneys earn in 2013. Commissioners OK’d the study and the salary information at their November workshop.

C i l i b e r t o sought re-e l e c t i o n knowing the county board sets his an-nual salary. H o w e v e r , state law al-lows Cilib-erto to appeal

the board’s de-cision if he feels the board was arbitrary, capricious, or unrea-sonably disregards his respon-sibilities, duties, experience or qualifications and performance of his duties.

Offer WithdrawnCiliberto is also seeking to

enforce a settlement offer he contends the county board made through its attorney, he accepted and was then pulled off the table. In a memoran-

dum to Judge Mark, Ciliberto’s attorney, John Fabian, argues the board withdrew an agree-ment to raise Ciliberto’s salary by an additional 5 percent to $138,432 retroactive to Jan. 1 when one of the commission-ers, “got cold feet.”Wagner confirmed the only

commissioner with the author-ity to rescind an offer is Com-missioner Tom Wolf of Credit River Township, the county board’s chairman. Wolf de-clined to respond to several phone calls and e-mails on the issue. Commissioner Jon Ulrich of Savage declined comment and Commissioner Barbara Marschall of Prior Lake did not respond to a request to discuss the issue.Fabian contends the process

toward the agreement began April 2 during a discussion with the board’s attorney, Scott Lepak. Negotiations began with a proposed 3.5 percent salary increase to $136,454.April 4, Fabian counter-offered

a 5 percent hike to $138,452. He argues Lepak accepted the offer adding 5 percent was “the absolute limit a majority of the

board had authorized.” In his written response, Lepak stated the 5 percent offer was “within the range” of his direction from the board to resolve the salary appeal.Fabian argues a settlement of

claims “is a matter of public policy” and the “settlement of lawsuits is highly favored and will not be set aside lightly.”

It’s ‘Binding’He says the settlement agree-

ment is “binding” and that un-der Minnesota law “it is well established that settlement of a lawsuit is contractual in nature and that a full and enforceable settlement requires and offer and acceptance.”Lepak disagrees. Pointing to a

1975 Minnesota Supreme Court ruling involving Hutchinson’s city council, Lepak argues the ability to hold the county board to an offer depends on the con-sent of the elected members.The Hutchinson council had

reserved to itself the power to approve a settlement. Lepak said the direction he received from the majority of the five-member county board “is sig-

nificantly different than vot-ing.”He said the county board

“should be charged with mak-ing decisions open to public scrutiny.”Commissioners were divid-

ed by a single vote on how to handle Ciliberto’s salary appeal since commissioners David Menden of Shakopee and Wag-ner separately said they op-posed during the closed session any additional salary increase. “He got a 3 percent raise on

Jan. 1. How much is enough?” Menden asked. “Pat Ciliberto wants to compare himself to other metro counties. There is no way any of us elected offi-cials could go to another county and get the same job there that we have here. Pat Ciliberto for-gets who he is working for and who elected him.”Wagner argued elected officers

– commissioners, the county sheriff and Ciliberto -- should all receive the same percentage salary increase.The April 4 agreement for Cili-

berto to receive an additional 5 percent increase was sched-uled for approval at the board’s

April 16 meeting – a move Fa-bian told the judge “was noth-ing more than a formality” to approve the agreement.When the agreement fell apart,

Fabian wrote Lepak called him April 8 and began the conversa-tion “by telling Fabian he was not going to be happy with the information Lepak was about to share.”Two years ago, Ciliberto won

a 3 percent raise to $128,000 when Judge William Macklin ruled the county board had not followed state law when it set his 2011 salary. Macklin also ordered the county pay Ciliber-to’s legal fees of $13,930.94.Pat Ciliberto

Carver Park & Ride Construction Set to Begin Later This Year

Carver’s long-pursued plans of a park-and-ride lot southwest of the intersection of County Road 11 and Highway 212 are about to make the jump from drawing board to reality.In a few months, construction

of a 400-space lot and park-and-ride building will begin at County Road 11 and Ironwood Drive. The city estimates the lot and transit station will cost approximately $5.86 million, the Chaska Herald recently re-ported.

Southwest Transit will begin bus service between the park-and-ride, the western suburbs and Minneapolis shortly after the 6.45-acre lot is completed. The transit station’s stone and wood design will resemble a historic train depot, featur-ing tempered arched windows, stone benches and a wooden overhang.The project is a joint venture

between the City of Carver and Carver County Community De-

velopment Agency.The CDA will also begin

work this fall on 47 single-family homes adjacent to the park-and-ride. Two years after those are competed, it will be-gin construction of two apart-ment buildings, both containing about 100 units, the newspaper reported. The CDA is currently considering half the apartments be market rate and the other half below-market-rate work-force housing.

Tigers Open Season Fridayby Brad LawsonThe Belle Plaine town team

Tigers will return to the field for the first time since suffering a tough loss in the first round of the state tournament last sea-son, to Leavenworth on Aug. 19.The weather definitely won’t

be the same as it was in that game, and with the way the spring/winter has gone so far, the Tigers may not have a warm weather game until July.Another season of town team

baseball begins Friday at Ti-ger Park when the St. Benedict Saints drop in for a 7:30 p.m. first pitch. This will be the Ti-gers’ first game and the Saints’ second, as they opened up their season with a tough loss on the road against New Market on Sunday.The Tigers have a new manag-

er this season as veteran Mike Schultz has stepped up to lead the local nine. Friday night will also be Dollar Dog Night at the park.Season tickets are currently

available at Brad’s Barber Shop, from any BP Baseball

Association member, or at the Tiger Park ticket gate. $25 will get you into each of the 14 home games (gate price: $3 adults, $2 students/seniors), which in-cludes the Tigertown Classic. $50 will get you all that, plus a hot dog and beverage of your choice at each game.The Tigers will head to Prior

Lake on Sunday for a non-league league game, so to speak, at 2 p.m. Team Tigertown will be in the River Valley League’s Cen-tral Division, once again with Le Sueur, Chanhassen, Hender-son and Jordan. The West divi-sion will consist of Arlington, Fairfax, Gaylord, St. Peter and New ulm. fairfax will be inter-esting this year as the Winthrop Eagles have merged with them.Schultz looks to lead the team

to yet another state tournament. The Tigers have made it to four straight state tourneys and look to continue that this year. The hosts of the state tournament this summer are Maple Lake and Delano.The local nine will no longer

have the services of veteran pitcher Shane Hofmann and second baseman Jim Bues-gens. New faces for the Tigers include Nate Hartmann, Ross VanHauen, Jake Fiedler, Mike Wagner and possibly a couple other stragglers that decide to show up at practice or games.Returning to the Tiger den in

2013 are Travis Latzke, Trevor Latzke, Miah Fogarty, Johnny Egan, Brad Lawson, Josh Ter-

rio, Tyler Hartman, Dylan Ny-berg, Matt Schultz, Shawn Lar-son, Dan Huber, Zac Dahlke, Derek Dahlke, Pat Schultz, Rob Wagener, Mike Schultz, Ryan Diers, Jake Scherer, Sam Korth, Andy Lehman and Zach Horn-ing. Coach Fogarty and batboy Dylan O’Brien are expected to

Town Team Baseball

Town Tigers(continued on page 7)

Tigers 11, W-M 1The Tigers scored four runs

their first at-bat of the season and added three more in the third inning and four in the fifth en route to an easy 11-1 victory in a game that was shortened to five innings due to the 10-run rule. “We came ready to play,” said

Belle Plaine coach Pat Schultz. “We took good at-bats and were very aggressive on the bases, which really put the pressure on Watertown.”Derek Dahlke pitched the dis-

tance for the Tigers, allowing just two hits and one unearned run. He struck out six.“Dahlke attacked the zone and

kept the ball down all night. He was very efficient and never let them get comfortable at the plate,” Schultz said. “This was a nice way to start the year. Af-ter six weeks inside, the kids were excited to get outside and it showed.”Jordan Johnson had two hits,

including a double and two RBI to spark Belle Plaine of-fensively. Jacob Meger also doubled and drove in two runs. Zach Juaire added two hits and scored twice, while Nick Elia-son and Cameron Klehr also hit safely for the Tigers.

W-M 10, Tigers 2In a reversal of the first game,

the Royals collected 13 hits as they overcame an early 1-0 deficit to club the Tigers 10-2. Most of the damage was done in the fourth and fifth innings when Watertown-Mayer scored four runs in both frames.“We wanted to carry over the

momentum from the first game and did so by taking an early lead, but it didn’t last,” Schultz said. “We didn’t make a lot of plays defensively and left nine guys on base. The mistakes we made were timely ones and al-lowed them a couple of big in-nings and let the game get out of hand.“We did some good things in

this game,” Schultz continued. “Even though the score looks bad, we had base runners every inning – and Derek Dahlke and Aaron Bigaouette turned one of the nicest double plays you will see at the high school level.”Meger started on the mound

for Belle Plaine and absorbed the loss after allowing six runs (five earned) on 10 hits over four innings. Eliason and Gavin Dauwalter came on in relief.The Tigers had only four hits.

Accounting for them were Dahlke, Meger, Mitchell Nel-son and Bigaouette.

Tigers 3, TCU 1Johnson started on the hill for

Belle Plaine and tossed 4 2/3 innings of three-hit ball. He al-lowed no earned runs and struck out seven as the Tigers defeated the Titans 3-1 in the first of two games Monday at Tiger Park.“Jordan Johnson really did

a nice job on the mound for

us,” Schultz said. “It was his first start in a couple of years and he attacked the TCu hit-ters and allowed his defense to make plays. We played very well defensively. Our aggres-sive base running and speed was big again as it allowed us to take advantage of the TCu miscues and put extra pressure on them.” Bigaouette earned the save for

Belle Plaine after pitching the final 1 1/3 innings, giving up no hits and striking out two.The Tigers scored a run apiece

in the second, fourth and fifth innings. The Titans’ lone tally came in the fifth.Belle Plaine had six hits, led

by Johnson and Jayden Howie, who both singled and doubled. Eliason and Meger had the Ti-gers’ other hits. Chase Emmers had two stolen bases and scored a run.Schultz credited Nelson for

having a “tremendous” game behind the plate in what was his first varsity start at catcher, re-placing Johnson, who normally handles the job when not on the mound.

TCU 4, Tigers 3The Tigers appeared to be on

their way to a sweep of the twin bill as they scored three runs in the third inning to grab a 3-1 lead. But the Titans answered right back with three of their own their next at-bat and held on for the 4-3 victory.“Our pitching was very strong

again this game. Chase Em-mers threw a very solid game

and deserved a better fate. He threw strikes and forced a lot of ground balls,” Schultz said. “Unfortunately, several of those ground balls deflected off gloves or found holes, which ended up leading to the hard-luck loss for Emmers.”Emmers pitched the distance

for Belle Plaine, surrendering eight hits and four earned runs. He struck out four.The Tigers managed just four

hits, which included a triple by Dahlke. Eliason, Johnson and Juaire had the other hits. Bahr had a stolen base and a run scored.“We took decent at-bats and

hit some balls hard this game but could not get the hits to come,” Schultz said. “We had an early lead but could not hold on again . We need to figure out what it takes to finish teams off once we have a lead.”

The Tigers played their second game of the day against a state tourney team from a year ago, that being defending state Class 2A champion New ulm, which posted a 15-4 victory in a con-test that was called after five in-nings due to the 10-run rule.The Tigers didn’t help them-

selves against the powerful Eagles as they committed eight errors and issued 12 walks.“We are never going to beat a

team when we give them that many extra bases and outs,” Kalal said. “Our youth showed a little in this game but the fi-nal score doesn’t indicate how close we are to a team like this. The score was 7-4 heading into the fifth inning and that was after we gave them five runs in the first inning before we settled down. Our goal all year is to limit mistakes and to pick up teammates after a mistake is made. We didn’t do that in the second game today.”

Offensive leaders for Belle Plaine were Johnson, Schmit, Hentges and Haller.“All in all, we saw some great

competition and came away from today with a split,” Kalal said. “Seeing this competition will only help us as we return to conference play.”

Tigers Split Four Gamesby Dan RuudAfter playing just one game in

17 days, the Belle Plaine High School softball team squeezed in four in two days. The Tigers experienced both ends of two one-run games against Water-town-Mayer in Belle Plaine on Friday before experiencing both ends of a pair of blowouts at a tournament in Mankato on Saturday.Belle Plaine, 1-1 in the Min-

nesota River Conference, 3-2 overall, was scheduled to host Tri-City United in a double-header Tuesday after this edi-tion of the Herald went to press. The Tigers also have MRC twin bills scheduled for this Thurs-day at Norwood Young Amer-ica and next Tuesday at home against Jordan. First pitches are slated for 4 p.m.

Tigers 4, W-M 3The Tigers scored three runs

in the fourth inning to take their first lead of the game and held on for the 4-3 victory.“We did a nice job of limit-

ing mistakes and picking each other up after an error,” said Ti-gers coach Jeremy Kalal. “We are happy with the win, but we know we did not play our best game.”Maddie Studnicka pitched

the complete game for Belle Plaine, giving up three runs (one earned) on seven hits and three walks. She struck out six.Maddi Lark drove in two

runs for Belle Plaine with a double. Sam LeMay also dou-bled, while Kenzie Koepp and Kaylee Hentges both had two singles. Sophie Brazil had the Tigers’ other hit.

W-M 5, Tigers 4Another tight game against the

Royals ended with the potential tying run for the Tigers being thrown out at the plate as W-M escaped Belle Plaine with a split of the doubleheader with a 5-4 triumph. The Tigers trailed 5-0 before making a game of it with four runs in the fifth inning.Another Maddie, this one

Haller, pitched the distance for Belle Plaine, surrendering five runs (three earned) on five hits and six walks. She struck out eight. Both teams had four er-rors.Elizabeth Johnson had a sin-

gle, double and two RBI for the Tigers, who had just six hits. Koepp had two of those, includ-ing a triple, while the other two were by LeMay and Hentges.“Although it’s a young sea-

son still, I’ve noticed some-thing about this year’s team that we’ve never seen before in Belle Plaine softball teams of the past,” Kalal said. “This team is very young and they never give in. They have bat-tled back in games already this year. That is a team characteris-tic that we’ve never had before and will pay off big time down the stretch. I was very proud of the way we came back.“I know that we are a much

better team than what we showed tonight,” Kalal con-tinued. “It’s so hard not to get down about how we played, but normally we have half our sea-son done by now and we’ve got the kinks worked out, but this was the first time we set foot on our own field this season. So all in all, I was pretty happy with the way we played.”

Tigers 13, Maple River 5The Tigers took on defending

section champion Maple River in the first of two games Sat-urday at North Mankato’s Cas-well Park and won 13-5.Belle Plaine, which pounded

out 18 hits, was led by LeMay (four hits and three RBI), John-son (three hits and two RBI), Koepp (three hits and one RBI), Kate Schmit (two hits and one

RBI), Hentges (one hit and one RBI), Studnicka (one hit and one RBI), Lark (one hit and one RBI), Claire Otto (two hits) and Sophie Brazil (one hit).Studnicka pitched all seven

innings, allowing three earned

Spring and Summer Both

at OnceThis past weekend’s annual Le Sueur County Pioneer Power Association Swap Meet and Flea Market was not only held the first three “real” days of spring of 2013, but the first three days of summer. After this area had not experienced a 60-degree day since No-vember, readings on Fri-day and Saturday climbed right through the 60s and into the 70s. By late Sun-day, the mercury had risen to 80 degrees. The first such weather of 2013 brought thousands of people out to the association’s grounds all three days, making it one of the most successful swap meets and flea mar-kets the organization has ever experienced.

Dog Park Open House

Among the guests at Mon-day’s Belle Plaine Dog Park open house were a weimara-ner “Gypsy Rose” and her five puppies, which were en-joying the eve of their five-week birthdays. Tending to them at the park were, from left, Michele Jensen, Amelia Fogelquist, owner Amanda Whitton and Jennifer Wil-liams. Pictured at right is Aaron Harmon and his black lab “Belle” playing ball near the parks’s fire hydrant.

So Much Had to GoAfter what was one of the latest-arriving springs in memory, the city of Belle Plaine and Belle Plaine Lions Club, along with Waste Management workers, took in plenty of unwanted items from a steady drive-up of residents Saturday morning at the police department parking lot. Pictured above are Lions Club members, from left, Rex Ernst, Joe Lawrence and Warren Wolf preparing to deposit items into a nearby garbage truck. Not even the stuffed horse in the photo below could escape the 2013 spring cleaning stampede as it too was deposited into a garbage truck.

Cleanup CrewMembers of Belle Plaine Cub Scouts Pack 324 spent part of Saturday collecting trash from Veterans Park. The group includes (back row, from left) den leader Karen Vandermark, Han-nah Wermerskirchen, Antronin Santovi, Carson Mulroy, (front, from left) Alex Vandermark, Joey Reimers, Jack Townsend, Alex Santovi, Caleb Wermerskirchen and Zach Vandermark.
