First Day Goodbye
Eric Johnson said goodbye to his daughter Rachel just be-fore the start of her fi rst day of kindergarten at Chatfi eld Elementary School Tuesday morning. Standing close by his Rachel’s mother Jean, who accompanied Eric to the classroom for the occa-sion. The school was expect-ing some 135 kindergartners to begin the school year. The projected enrollment for fi rst grade was 134 and for second grade 123, for a total of 392 students at Chatfi eld (seven more than last year). Oak Crest Elementary School was expecting a total of 478 stu-dents in grades 3-6, 17 more than last year. The junior-se-nior high school was expect-ing 480 students in grades 7-12, an increase of 27 over last year. More back-to-school photos appear on page 16.
First-grader Carson Retzer offered a bite of his apple to classmate Logan Reynolds during lunch break Tuesday at Chatfi eld Elementary School. Curiously watching on is classmate Kendra Eiden. Starting this year, school cafeterias must offer more fruits and vegetables to their students, and reduce carbohydrates, meat and calories.
Mark, Marilyn and Bruce Koepp welcomed visitors to their new hog barn last Thursday afternoon.
There were times in the past year when the paperwork and labyrinth of government red tape was more than Mark Ko-epp thought he could stand.Last Thursday, the headaches
seemed a distant memory. Ko-epp, his son Bruce and family gathered at their new hog barn off Johnson Way in Blakeley Township, about three miles southwest of Belle Plaine and just southwest of the Blakeley Township Hall at the junction of County Road 1 and Highway 169.The open house was intended
to present the technological wonder of the new facility Ko-
epp intends will keep his family among the leading hog opera-tions in the region once infor-mally known as hog alley.Koepp planned the new
25,000-square-foot barn would be in use this week. By today, it will be two-thirds full, housing about 2,600 hogs. By Oct. 15, Koepp expects it will be full, with about 4,000 hogs.The 51-year-old Koepp stress-
es the new hog barn is not for him, but for his 21-year-old son and business partner, Bruce.“That’s pretty special that he’d
do that for me, that he’d have that much faith in me,” Bruce Koepp said.
Like his father, the younger Koepp has grown up as a hog farmer. He has learned the sci-ence and trade along the way.“He respects my point of view
and I respect his,” Mark said.It’s a different industry today
than the one Mark grew up in. Technology is far more impor-tant now. Thanks to high-tech equipment, hogs are fed and watered with far greater effi -ciency than ever before. They will consume less than eight bushels of corn from weanling until they area ready for market at 240 pounds.The new feeding machines all
but eliminate wasted corn and water. Feed that drops from the tray will land in the water and make soupy malt.They say hogs love it.The new barn is bright and well
ventilated. The powerful fans complete the exchange of air in the barn every three minutes. Earlier this year, Mark Koepp told Scott County the new barn amounted to an investment in agriculture of just under $1 million. The county board sup-ported it unanimously.The Koepps aimed the new
barn toward the southeast, where low water levels and de-caying weeds at Clark’s Lake already create an occasionally tainted scent. The Koepps are sensitive to the suggestion ma-nure from their operation is the primary source of foul air in Belle Plaine.“When Belle Plaine smells
manure, it isn’t always me,” he said.Only one resident, a neighbor
to Koepp’s new barn, offered
For Koepps, New Hog Barn a Long Time in Making

Former Funeral Director Ron Fenske Dies
Ronald Fenske, who operated Fenske Funeral Home in Belle Plaine for a number of years, died Monday. He was 71.Fenske purchased the Hayes
Funeral Home in Belle Plaine in the late 1970s, and follow-ing the death of his wife Esther in 2001, sold the business to Kolden Funeral Homes.Fenske was active in a number
of area organizations over the years, including being a mem-ber of the Belle Plaine City Council and Rotary Club.Fenske’s obituary appears on
page 3.
New Lunch Program Will Have Different Taste, CostA new federally mandated
school lunch program is bring-ing more fruits and vegetables to the Belle Plaine Schools’ cafeterias. The school district and its food service staff from Taher hope the program agrees with the pallets of students.The new program marks the
fi rst major changes the USDA has mandated in school lunches since the late-1990s. Known as the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act Congress approved, the program is aimed at reducing childhood obesity.Among the biggest change in
Belle Plaine is the requirement students purchasing a school lunch take a serving of fruits and vegetable. Carrie Donovan, the district’s
food service director, expects Belle Plaine students who par-take in the meal program will at least try the new selections of fresh fruits and vegetables since many of the meals the district has served in the past included fruits and vegetables.The new program does not im-
pact the a la carte menu at the junior-senior high school.The new program means stu-
dents will receive orange or red vegetables, dark green veg-etables, starchy vegetables and legume during the week. The program also requires half of the grains will be whole grain-rich. Milk will be fat free, 1
percent or skim.The new lunch program also
caps calories at 650 for elemen-tary students, 700 for sixth through eighth-graders, and
850 for junior and senior high students.

Depending on which set of numbers and defi nitions you look at, Scott County is ei-ther planning to raise property taxes slightly or decrease them slightly. Commissioners split on the issue Tuesday by a 3-2 vote in favor of a half-percent preliminary gross levy increase of the 2013 property tax levy.Tuesday’s decision is based
on the defi nitions of the spread levy or the gross levy. The ap-proved increase in the prelimi-nary gross levy, from $60.51 million to $60.82 million, is based on the county-infl uenced activities, a proposed increase of $305,000. The spread levy is based on the amount of taxes spread to county property tax-payers, a decrease of $543,031 thanks to anticipated increases in county program aid to Scott County from the state and ad-ditional revenue from fi scal disparities, a program meant to
equalize the tax burden among cities and counties. The spread levy dropped from $51.97 mil-lion in 2012 to $51.43 million in 2013.Commissioner Jon Ulrich of
Savage noted the approximate-ly 1 percent decrease in the spread levy.“Those are still tax dollars,”
said Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township. He and Commissioner David Men-den of Shakopee opposed the gross levy increase. “You can call it what you want — spread levy or gross levy -- but it’s still money from people.”County Administrator Gary
Shelton said the county has long focused on the gross levy, “because that’s our budget.” He conceded Minnesota’s system

by Karen SwensonUsed as a training devise, an
old farm house succumbed to flames during a controlled burn by the Henderson Fire Depart-ment Saturday morning, Sep-tember 1.Commonly known as the Don
Mediger farm, Adam Conrad recently purchased the property on 300th Street in Henderson Township, to build a new home. A fireman himself, Conrad of-fered the fire department the building for training purposes.Firefighters from Henderson
and Belle Plaine and emer-gency medical staff from South Central Emergency Medical Systems, and Le Center and Le Sueur ambulance associations gathered on the property short-ly after 7 a.m.Prior to the burn the property
was readied for the event by removing trees and other debris close to the structure.Not every house is a good can-
didate for a training burn, but this structure was conveniently located far enough away from neighboring homes to keep fire
threats low.It was a slow and purposeful
burn that lasted into the after-noon hours. Individual fires were set in single rooms inside the home, allowing teams of firefighters to enter the house and go through their training exercises to properly put out the fires.Within 90 seconds of igniting
a burn pile, the heat became intense enough to singe hair. Within three minutes, the win-dows were being blown out by the heat.Firefighter Eric Helgeson was
with one of the first teams to enter the burning home. “Bran-don’s good,” said Helgeson re-ferring to Henderson Fire Chief Brandon Phillips. “He pushes you, but at the same time you are safe.”“You can’t’ just go in there
and start spraying,” said Helge-son, “the heat would go crazy. It’s more science.”A thermal layer quickly devel-
ops where the hottest air and gases rise, allowing for ventila-tion and making lower levels of
the room safer for firefighters.Improper water application
to unvented areas disrupts the thermal balance, causing smoke to steam and circulate within all levels of the fire area. This cre-ates a dangerous situation for firefighters who are maneuver-ing on their knees through the burning room.After each team left the build-
ing, emergency medical staff took three sets of vitals and rehydrated the exhausted fire-fighters with bottles of water, allowing them back to duty only when their vitals had trended down.The burn continued until all
teams were pulled from the house and the fire was allowed to consume the entire build-ing. The department continued to spray water to the outside walls, allowing the building to collapse in upon itself.Many area residents gathered
nearby to observe the spectacle. While fascinating to watch, the burn is a sobering reminder of the dangers firefighters face in their service to the community

Charlie Vig Appointed Chair of Shakopee Mdewakanton
Charlie Vig has been appoint-ed chair of the Shakopee Mde-wakanton Sioux Community following the recent death of former Chair Stanley Crooks.Vig, 52, served the past eight
months as vice chair of the tribe. He is a social worker and he and his wife, Donna, have five children. Vig, whose par-
ents helped organize the Shako-pee Mdewakanton Sioux Com-munity, grew up in Eden Prairie and moved to Prior Lake in 1969.Vig’s grandmother, Minnie
Otherday, was a descendant of John Otherday, who is credited with saving a number of settlers and government workers during the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862.
A Green Isle Township resi-dent out target shooting acci-dently hit the wrong target Sun-day afternoon.According to the Sibley Coun-
ty Sheriff’s Office, Lance Ellis Olson accidently shot himself in the left leg while trying to clear a malfunctioned handgun. Olson, 65, was transported to Ridgeview Medical Center with non left-threatening injuries.The accidental shooting oc-
curred at 4:38 p.m. Sunday on the 38900 block of 170th Street in Green Isle Township, about two miles northwest of the city of Green Isle.

Belle Plaine’s Blu Moll enjoys her frequent visits to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. As a “friend” of the festival, she enjoys the costumes and festive atmosphere.
When it comes to people watching and having a good time, Blu Moll says there’s no place like the Renaissance Fes-tival. She can’t imagine spend-ing a weekend anywhere else.“There’s no place else you can
go and see anything like it,” Moll said.Moll is one of several dozen
“Fest Friends,” a group of men and women who routinely en-joy the Renaissance Festival and spend time there during its run from mid-August through late-September. Moll visits the festival one day each weekend. She and Laura & Rob Benjamin are the only Belle Plaine resi-dents on Fest Friends’ member-ship roster.An organization separate from
Mid-America Festivals, opera-tors of the Minnesota Renais-sance Festivals and its staff, Fest Friends bills itself as a social group of patrons and par-ticipants who share a love of the festival and enjoys camara-derie with other friends of the festival. Fest Friends will also get together for social events between the end of the festival and its late-summer return.Fest Friends are a strolling
part of the festival’s ambiance. They’ll stop in at any of the dif-ferent shows, visit pubs on the
festival grounds, interact in pe-riod dialect among themselves and chat with other festival visitors or regular characters like trolls, rat catcher, the mud girl, the king and queen, court jesters that are part of the enter-tainment.By paying a fee for a sea-
son pass, Fest Friends receive a separate area where they can store their personal items in favor of period costumes. They have their own spacious restroom area and enjoy light refreshments provided by Mid-America Festivals.For Moll, 49, a visit to the Re-
naissance Festival is an oppor-tunity to enjoy music, relax and dance. A few years back, she took belly-dancing lessons. Her instructor is one of the dancers at the festival.“You hear the drums and the
music and just start dancing,” she said.Moll has different costumes
she wears to the festival, de-pending on the weather. She can go as a pirate, a fairy or a belly dancer. “It’s a chance to be someone else,” she said.Growing up in Edina and
south Minneapolis in the late-’60s and early-’70s, Moll went to her first Renaissance Festival
in the 1970s as a child with her parents. Later, as a teenager, the festival became one of her regular hangouts. A talented artist herself, she bought into the costumes and atmosphere of the festival.“I totally fell in love with
the jingles and all the pretty clothes,” she said.While many people fret over
the cost of a ticket ($21.95 for adults at the gate, $12.95 for children), Moll thinks of it as an opportunity for value. Dur-ing her weekend visits, she’ll check out magicians, comedi-ans, dancers, singers or raptor handlers, visit pubs and watch artisans. “A lot of people don’t realize how many different things there are you can do,” she said. “There are so many places to hang out. The pubs are great and the food is awe-some.”Her daughter, Storm, works for
Mid-America Festival during the week on the grounds crew. She also enjoys the festival and its costumes on weekends.The Renaissance Festival
runs Labor Day and weekends through Sept. 28. The festival grounds are in Louisville Town-ship west of Highway 169 and north of the highway’s intersec-tion with County Road 14.
B.P. Woman Spends Weekends as ‘Fest Friend’
Walk-n-Talk TourHeidi Morlock, left, of Seven Story Farm in rural Belle Plaine, held her annual tour of the farm on Thursday. Attendees of the tour had much to see and learn. Included on the agenda was a discussion and viewing of the farm’s pasture poultry and pasture pork production, as well as rotational grazing of cattle and sheep. Attendees were also able to see the farm’s wet-land, decorative woody and hazelnut plantings, hoop house and vegetable garden. Assisting with organizing the tour were Rural Advantage and University of Minnesota Extension. Pic-tured below are the two youngest participants of the tour, who wondered off from the group to get a closer look at some nearby pigs. They are Saul Kortmansky of Becker and Ella Fenske of Shakopee

September is Library Card Sign up Month. We are observ-ing the American Library As-sociation national campaign, originally started in 1987, to increase library awareness. During the month of Septem-ber, you can get a free library card or free replacement library card. If you library card is lost or damaged or you never took the time to get a library card, now is the time to do so. We will gladly help you become a member of your local library.September 5th holds a few his-
torical items that caught my eye while doing some reading. Sep-tember 5th is the birth anniver-sary of Jesse James, the famous bank robber. I was surprised that he and his brother, frank, along with their gang of six additional outlaws were more than bank robbers. They robbed anything, anywhere. Banks were just one of their special-ties. That worked for them until they messed around with Min-nesota people. The attempt to rob a bank in Northfield, Min-nesota lost their six helpers. The James brothers went on to form a new gang. Their selection of assistants was not their best work. One of the new gang shot Jesse James and turned him in for the $10,000 bounty. Given the fate of the previous six gang members, he probably felt this was a safer way for him to go. All of this happened between 1873 and 1882 during the thirty four life time of Jesse James. It is an interesting bit of Ameri-can history with a Minnesota connection. If you would like to learn more details, come to your library.Stephanie Plum fans might
be interested to know that we have the DVD of “One for The Money”. The movie is based on Janet Evanovich’s first book in the Stephanie Plum series. I had a chance to watch the movie and I felt that the movie mak-er maintained the spirit of the book quite well. I may need to reread the book now to refresh my memory of the details and see where it might vary from the movie story line.The first Labor Day obser-
vance was on September 5, 1882 in New York City. His-torians debate who originally came up with the idea for the holiday.We hope that you had a safe
and happy Labor Day weekend. The weekend is sort of an un-official end of summer. Many people have had their vacations. School is starting. Your local li-brary, here in Belle Plaine goes back to “winter” hours by being open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday.The Adult Book Club that

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. TownsendThe following letter is an
old time letter written by my father, E. C. Townsend. Dif-ferent towns up the river have anniversary celebrations of the Indian massacre with many let-ters written for publication by persons who had taken part in the Indian uprising, but these letters were all written for pub-lication many years afterwards. The novelty of the one give here is that it was written while on the grounds during the ter-rible excitement, and, as you will see, was not written for publication. The letter was found among
some old documents in 1913 and is in a good state of preser-vation. By way of explanation, night say that immediately after the uprising my father joined a volunteer company from Belle Plaine and took his team to haul provisions etc., horses be-ing very scare those days, and as will be seen by his letter, he kept busy teaming between St. Peter and fort Ridgley.
Eye-Witness of BattleSt. Peter, September 7th,
1862.Dear Wife:I now write to you, hoping this
will find you in good health and the dear boy which I left behind. We are in great trouble in this part of the state, having many difficulties to contend with. I am happy to say that I have been well in health since I left home but have seen hard times. I have not slept on a bed but once since I left and that was at Keyser’s, St. Peter. Henry Crossen is boarding with him and they all send their re-spects to you. I am writing this in his house.We have fifty-five teams here
today for fort Ridgley. We left the fort yesterday at ten o’clock and got to St. Peter at eleven o’clock last night. We loaded up store goods from the warehouse and steamboat for the fort and start back tomorrow, Monday. I have tried every way to get back but can not at present. Expect horses will not stand the work much longer. The Covington horse I have given up once but is now at work again. I have him here with Charley. My horses are getting very poor, you can see their ribs at a distance. They find the difference in being tied to the wheel of the wagon and eating oats in the straw as we have no hay or oats nearer than Le Sueur to haul from.If we stay here or leave for
Redwood we must have oats or corn, or the horses will all die soon, as the flies are so bad and the grass so short that they cannot live long. I drove forty-five miles yesterday and all the teams but mine got here today, Sunday, and this is the first day’s rest since I left home.I have seen quite a change in
life since I parted yau and the dear boy. Give my love to him and yourself receive the same, hoping to see you again but cannot say when, unless my horses fail in their work. I have the prairie for my bed and the buffalo robes for my pillow and quilt. I expect my pants at St. Peter on Sunday week and got a pair of overalls on board the new Graham Bell. They reached a little below the knees and were covered in grease but had to wear them all week. I got an old pair from Crossen today so I can get along. I bought two pairs of socks so I can have changes. Having shoes on so many hours my feet sweat. I sent by Mr. Guion for a clean shirt but he has not returned yet. I will get away the first oppor-tunity I can. If I would leave my wagon and horses for someone to drive I could get a furlough for a short time, but they would cry shame on the Belle Plaine company for anyone leaving their place in the company after making such a determination to fight the Indians and be so frightened by the smell of a few dead bodies.I wish to send you a little ac-
count of my travels. I left here on Saturday and travelled through Swede settlement which is fifteen miles from Henderson. There we found
Letter Written on Battle Field of Birch Coulie in ‘62
houses, and stacks of hay and grain in flames, houses desert-ed, murders committed and no inhabitants left in that part of the country. I have not time to give you the particulars now, but will do so if I live to see you once more. It is the flow-er of this part of the country. There is at present thousands of acres of wheat and barely not stacked and all the people left the country, many leaving everything they had. We went from there to St. Peter, hav-ing traveled about fifty miles. The next day we left for the fort which took us three days. There the buildings were, many of them burned to ashes, others robbed and disolation was seen for forty-five miles through as fine a country as anyone would wish to travel, but now left with all its grain of the best quality, potatoes in abundance, turnips and all vegetables. We got to the fort and the smell at the foot of the hill was very bad from dead bodies. Some were Indians and others white inhabitants that were killed at the fight they had there. They burned all the out buildings, store houses, stores, wagons and everything they could outside the main building and fired through the windows of the latter.I left with the forty-five teams
friday for St. Peter, with two hundred and upwards of men, women and children, most of whom had seen hard times and heavy troubles. They went to the fort for safety, having fled from their homes, many with nothing but their chemise and some frocks, many nearly na-ked. The dead and murdered I shall not give you an account of at present.The calvary left the fort. Hear-
ing no account from them, the artillery and infantry left the next evening and we got to the field of battle in time to save many of our men who were be-ing surrounded by the Indians, but before we reached them they had shot all the horses and completely riddled them with bullets. Out of one hundred and two horses only two returned to the fort, the one was the horse
Smith, the bugler, rode and this one had two flesh wounds. The other, a grey horse belonging to the St. Peter calvary. Smith re-ceived two wounds in the arm and one in the thigh but is out of danger. Hallbrook and Hubert Schmitt were shot dead instant-ly. There were seventeen died on the battle field and five since they came to the fort. Sherwin had a fracture of the ribs but is out of danger. There were forty-five wounded in the hos-pital in the fort, the particulars you will get if I live to see you. In haste from your affectionate husband. E. C. TOWNSENDExplanatory note: The Hubert
Schmitt mentioned in the letter was an uncle of Matt Schmitt, our former brewer; Sherwin was an uncle of f. J. and Miss Dorla Whitlock. The latter died from his wounds after my fa-ther had written his letter, and both bodies were brought back to Belle Plaine for burial, these being among the few that didn’t have to be buried where they were killed. A brother of the above Sherwin was also killed in the Civil War soon after Lu-cian Smith, the bugler, was a son of our pioneer blacksmith, David M. Smith. He had been a printer in the Belle Plaine Enquirer office when it was in existence, and was founder of the Hutchinson Leader about a year before I started the Herald. Keyser and Crossen were for-mer boarders of ours when they work in the foundry. J. Guion was another volunteer from Belle Plaine, who was men-tioned in some of my previous articles as one of our first set-tlers and who claimed to have taken part in tying the nooses for the 38 Indians that were hung at Mankato, December 26, 1862.“Charley” was his best horse
and the Covington horse was one he had just bought from Covington, who lived on the farm now owned by Chas. Stier at the big curve in T. H. No. 169, a mile south of town. This, I think, explains everything in the letter with the exception of the “dear boy,” then nine years of age, which is your humble servant.The name “Birch Coulie” does
not appear in my father’s letter, (perhaps not know to him at the time) but being with the rescu-ing party and his description of the battle agrees with that memorable fight, I have a pis-tol, or derringer as some call it, that my father picked up on the battle field, a muzzle-loader, requiring powder, ball and cap and is self-cocking. There was no cap on it, when found, and as it had been snapped several times without exploding the
Joseph Edward Townsend
supposition was it had been fired and not reloaded. On his return home my father spent the night with his friend Kayser at St. Peter again and in describing the pistol to him it was acciden-tally discharged, the ball pass-ing close to Mr. Kayser’s head and through two partitions. The hammer in striking the cap was suppose to have caused some friction.After this I never got to see
many Indians until the middle 70’s when I was at Ottawa and had occasion to go to St. Pe-ter almost weekly in the sum-mer time. Generally made it on foot, taking a short cut through Traverse de Sioux, which cut the distance down to about five miles. The railroad at that time went around a big marsh making the distance over eight miles that way. Since then the railroad was changed near to the bank of the river cutting out the big marsh and shortening the distance over three miles. Getting back to Indians again I found quite a number at Tra-verse, which it was called for short, but they were on civi-lized order then, dressing more like the whites and could speak English. The place looked like an old deserted village, most of its early white settlers hav-ing moved to St. Peter nearby, in fact some moved their frame buildings to the latter city. Dur-ing my frequent trips through the place it looked as though every old shack was occupied by the Indians, some of the buildings being once business houses judging from them. Very little left now of this village, one of the earliest in the val-ley and said to have had from 200 to 300 inhabitants in the early 50’s. Traverse de Sioux will always be remembered as the place here the great treaty between the united State and the various tribes of Indians too place July 23, 1851, by which the west side of the Mississippi and the valley of the Minnesota river were opened to the enter-prise of the hardy emigrant.About once a year, generally
in the spring, I would see a lot of Indians going through Otta-wa to Traverse, probably about twenty-five, men, women and children, with one or two po-nies hitched up the same as in early days with a pole on each side of the pony and the rear ends dragging on the ground with brace between, for their blankets and other baggage, in-cluding papooses. I concluded these tribes were simply visit-ing one another. This was the last I ever saw of Indians in any great number and hope this lengthy narrative on the subject has not fatigued you.

Dear Editor,Though I shouldn’t be, I am
constantly amazed at the com-passion and support shown by the Belle Plaine community, both residential and commer-cial. I shouldn’t be amazed, I guess, because nearly every week I read in the Belle Plaine Herald of the community’s support for a family that has met hardship due to Mother Nature’s wrath, a child and its family in need of funds to help with medical bills, a family needing assistance because of a vehicle accident, or some other type of disaster.As the treasurer of the Belle
Plaine food Shelf, I get to see how funds come into our ac-count, and I am responsible for writing the checks to our vend-ers. The donations we receive come strictly through the empa-thy, compassion and support of the community. We try our best to use those funds in the wisest and most responsible way. Here are some examples:The Belle Plaine food Shelf
is a strictly volunteer organi-zation. There are no paid em-ployees here. volunteers may serve as little as two to three hours a month, or as many as 10 to 15 hours a week. We are a force of over 100 volunteers from the community, without whose dedication and caring we wouldn’t and couldn’t exist. We owe our volunteers a lot.We use the financial resources
we receive to purchase food through Second Harvest Heart-land, where our $1 to Second Harvest can purchase the equiv-alent of $9 worth of food in the retail market. That food, de-signed to provide five to seven meals per person per family per month, is provided at no cost to our clients.Through Second Harvest,
we have an arrangement with Coborn’s called a “rescue” pro-gram where we receive food from them that is close to its “sell by” date. This is food that, by Coborn’s policy, was previ-ously thrown out. It costs us nothing and we distribute it to our clients, and usually have it off our shelves before the expi-ration date. It’s a win – win – win situation. The clients receive a greater variety of food, we get food at no cost to the food shelf, and, through a donation receipt program, Coborn’s gets credit for the amount of food donated to use as a tax write-off, rather than just throwing that food away.The next time you are in
Coborn’s, please locate one of their managers and thank him for their support of the food shelf.In May, the food shelf decided
to purchase the building at 128 Meridian Street N., rather than continue renting the building at 149 Meridian Street N. The reason? Even after including remodeling loans, we pay more than $87 less per month than
with paid in rent, and at the end of 10 years, the Belle Plaine food Shelf will have saved over $10,440 in community donations. Those funds will in-stead, go towards food and the operation of the food shelf, and at the end of 10 years, the food shelf will own the building.Written into our policy, by the
way, is a statement that, should the food shelf cease to be need-ed any more (wouldn’t that be wonderful?), the building is to be sold, and the proceeds donated to the community’s school scholarship program.I am, as I wrote before, ex-
tremely pleased and thankful of the way the food shelf has been accepted and supported here in Belle Plaine. It is my prayer that as we enter into our second year, the support will continue this year and through the com-ing years, in physical, financial and volunteer time contribu-tions, and that the community will continue to support of our annual event in November. There is another way, howev-er, that people can support the food shelf. We are currently at or near the peak of production for our home gardens. The food shelf needs fresh fruit and veg-etables. If community members should happen to have a couple of extra tomatoes, some beans or zucchini or cucumbers, or some apples off the tree in the back yard, they could drop them by the food shelf on Sat-urday mornings between 9 and noon or Wednesday evenings between 5 and 7 p.m. food shelf volunteers will gladly is-sue a receipt for any donation.On the behalf of the Belle
Plaine food Shelf, I would like to extend my appreciation to the community for its contin-ued compassion and support.
Sincerely,Tom Bartholomew,
treasurer,Belle Plaine Food Shelf
Stolen Plane Found in Belle PlaineA twin engine Beechcraft Baron airplane, reported stolen from the Beech Aero Center in Eden Prairie, was discovered at the Belle Plaine airport in early September of 1982, five days after it was found missing. The plane, valued at approximately $110,000, had been stripped of its engines, instruments and radio. According to Sibley County Sheriff Roger Graham, who is pictured above inspecting the plane, the alleged thief talked to an area resident living near the airport, explaining that he was working on the plane and should not be concerned. The theft was being investigated by the Sibley County Sheriff’s Department, Eden Prairie Police Department and Federal Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
About 60 people overflowed the Belle Plaine City Council chamber that Tuesday evening, most of whom were there to ex-press their dissatisfaction with the Belle Plaine Police Depart-ment. William Chard presented to the council a petition with over 400 names of Belle Plaine and area residents stating their opposition to the department. Some businessmen felt they were losing customers because of harassment of farmers and residents by the department. One resident said he was so disgusted with Belle Plaine po-lice that he was selling his place in Belle Plaine and moving to Le Sueur County. A farmer was quoted as saying he didn’t buy a pickup truck in Belle Plaine because of the police situation. Another resident, on the other hand, pointed out that drinking-related ambulance runs were “way down” that year, which he added “speaks very highly for our police force.” No conclu-sion was reached in 1 1/2 hours of wrangling.Belle Plaine merchants were
holding Cra$ee Da$e that week, which included sidewalk sales with Cra$ee Da$e buys.Our Lady of the Prairie Catho-
lic Church in Belle Plaine was set to host its annual church festival on Sept. 12. A fam-ily-style dinner of chicken and ham would be served in the church basement with the cost being $4.25 for adults and $2 for children. The Country Store would be open, surrounded by children’s games and family entertainment all day. The Belle Plaine High School
football squad won the battle of statistics but not the final score as it lost to St. Michael-Albertville 6-0 in overtime in the 1982 season opener. The Tigers had 196 yards of total offense compared to just 93 for the Knights. Tony Legg had 64 yards rushing for Belle Plaine, followed by Jeff Larson and Adam Johnson with 30 and 27 yards, respectively. On defense, the Tigers were led by Matt
Hartman, Eric Johnson and Pat Duffy.The Tiger tennis team lost to
Cannon falls 4-1 and Shako-pee 3-2 before defeating New Prague 3-2 to begin the season 1-2. Winning their matches against New Prague were Ann Buesgens and Romi Schneider in singles play, and the doubles team of Amy Townsend and Melanie Martin.Despite an early 3-0 lead, the
Jordan Brewers lost to the Dun-das Dukes 6-4 in the champion-ship game of the state Class B amateur baseball tournament in St. Cloud. Pitching for the Brewers was Belle Plaine play-er Terry Knop, who had been drafted by Jordan for the tour-nament.

commissioner in the 1st (Belle Plaine) district, Charles Haas, incumbent, was the highest in all four precincts. His total vote exceeded that of the combined field. Emil Karnitz ran second and would be Mr. Haas’ oppo-nent in the November election. John Koenig and Nick Schom-mer were eliminated.Local voters in the primary
election followed the state trend in having a decided preference for present office holders. Thye, C. Elmer Anderson and O’Hara were heavy winners. Repre-sentative M.R. Moriarty of Jordan was given a substantial mark-up, the borough vote be-ing Moriarty 403, Egan 81 and frederickson 57. In Blakeley, Moriarty received 84, Egan 25 and frederickson 24.M.J. Kehoe of Jessenland led
the field in the Sibley County commissioner race with more votes than his two opponents together. fred Hebeisen, Green Isle, was the incumbent com-missioner. Engleman was elim-inated.The Belle Plaine Tigers were
still on the march, winning the league championship when fred Keup homered in the seventh to top St. Peter 4-2 in the fifth and final game of that series. They then won the first game of the Class A division at the state tourney in Austin and moved into the state semifi-nals. It was an exciting climax to an extra-inning game when Minnow Mayer stole home in the 10th inning, which was fol-lowed by a successful squeeze bunt by Gene O’Brien, which carried Belle Plaine to a 4-2 victory.A native of Green Isle Town-
ship, Neil McMahon was the new chief of police in St. Paul.August f. Stier retired from
farming and held an auction on the premises, the Julius Otto farm six miles northwest of Belle Plaine.

The John and Mary Whipps family of Jordan, along with daughters Rebecca Wiseman (right) and Hayley (left), were recently selected as Scott County’s 2012 Outstanding Conser-vationists of the Year.
Whipps Family Scott SWCD’s Conservationists of the Year
The John and Mary Whipps family of Jordan was recently selected as Scott County’s 2012 Outstanding Conservationists of the Year for repairing soil-eroding ravines and converting about 16 acres of cropland to native prairie.Nominated by the Scott Soil
and Water Conservation District (SWCD) in Jordan, the family will be recognized at the Min-nesota Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts Convention in December.Fourth-generation owners of
80 acres near Sand Creek in Scott County, the family lives just south of Jordan on High-way 21. The property is located within a watershed of Sand Creek (Minnesota River tribu-tary) that generates up to 10 times more suspended solids than any other watershed of the creek.John and Mary worked with
Scott SWCD staff to restore 15.9 acres of native prairie near an erosion-susceptible ravine and surrounding uplands. The cropped fields also drained to this ravine. By restoring the prairie, they staved off further water damage and soil wash-outs.The project consisted of plant-
ing deep-rooted prairie vegeta-tion in the former crop fields and cool-season grass areas. This planting greatly reduced the amount of overland flow that contributed to the ravine erosion. Erosion levels dropped from 14.3 tons/year to 0; phos-phorus load went from 4.7 pounds/year to 0. The Whipps paid for part of the project themselves, received an incen-tive payment from the Scott Watershed Management Orga-nization and qualified for EQIP funding for installation of the planting.In addition to the recent native
prairie planting, they repaired a deeply eroding ravine with a grade-control structure de-signed by the SWCD in 2011. The family repaired a second eroding ravine eight years ago and maintains a 60-year-old structure on a third. They have also worked over the years to improve their woodlands through extensive invasive species removal and planting
hundreds of native trees and shrubs. White Pine, Quaking Aspen and Colorado Spruce seedlings have been planted in the wooded areas of the Whipps property. They purchased these trees through the Scott SWCD tree program.John and Mary have kept a
watchful eye on their forested areas, ever increasing the can-opy by removing much of the invasive buckthorn and making sure trees and grasses buffer the banks along the bluff and Sand Creek tributary that cuts through their land.By planting native grasses
and wildflowers, much of the wind erosion the Whipps had been experiencing has been greatly minimized on the roll-ing acres of their property. By planting dozens of deep-rooted plants, including Big and Little Bluestem, Switchgrass, Canada Wild Rye, Indiangrass, Yellow Coneflowers, Purple Prairie Clover, Joe Pye Weed, Hoary Vervain and many others, this investment in conservation has paid off with less soil loss, very little maintenance and a color-ful, healthy, drought-resistant landscape.In addition to installing soil-
erosion saving projects, John continues to demonstrate his commitment to conservation by allowing University of Min-nesota students to utilize his property for geomorphology studies.Naturalizing acreage with the
native prairie plantings on the property has led to increased turkey, deer, wood duck and bluebird sightings. Red-tailed hawks, wrens, finches and woodpeckers have all found a haven on the Whipps property. As an example of their conser-vation-minded efforts, they al-low animals to nest in fallen or dead trees rather than remove them. They’ve also created two small wetlands on their 80-acre property, providing wood ducks and geese with nesting and feeding areas.John works as a property man-
ager and also does boat and RV storage, and Mary works as a planner at Toro in Shakopee. Their daughters attend school in Jordan.
of property taxes is confusing.The county contends the half-
percent increase in the 2013 gross property tax levy will result in a property tax hike, depending on valuations, for about one-fourth of the 36,000 houses in Scott County. Three-fourths of the houses in the county will likely see a decrease, thanks in part to reduced valua-tions.“Every year, it’s more taxes,
more taxes, more taxes. We should not be approving any kind of in-crease,” Menden said. “I’d like to see a decrease.”If the final 2013 levy hike is pro-
posed in December, following the Truth-in-Taxation hearing Dec. 6, the typical house will see an in-crease of $39 in the county portion of its 2013 taxes.Wagner also noted the impact
the levy will have on agricultural property. Valuations on farmland have been on the rise the past few
years thanks to legislative action and increases commodity prices and rent farmers are receiving.The additional revenue the
county expects to receive should the board leave the half-percent increase in place will help fund infrastructure improvements that for the past few years have been put on hold and the strategic addi-tion of a few staff people to meet service levels.“We’re not talking 10 or 20, but
one or two here or there,” said Kevin Ellsworth, the county’s chief financial officer.Other budget drivers the proposed
levy hike will help fund include compensation to retain skilled staff, the switch of morgue/medi-cal examiner services, payments to Three Rivers Park District, highway maintenance, informa-tion technology (IT) plus capital equipment and improvements.Commissioner Barbara Marschall
of Prior Lake said Scott County needs to invest in maintaining its infrastructure and capital assets to avoid paying more down the road.

Football(continued from page 15)
As I write this column, the first day of school is right around the corner. The weather forecast looks great – sunshine and warm temperatures, our facilities are polished, and our staff are prepared for another great school year. Nothing is quite like the first day of school as new Kindergarten students arrive with a multitude of emotions from excitement to trepidation and returning students arrive to greet good friends, classmates and teachers. Let’s have another great school year everyone!Last week we had great turnouts once again for our Back
to School Open House events at Chatfield and Oak Crest Elementary Schools. It was great to see all of the students get-ting introduced to their teachers for the year and getting their school supplies organized and ready for the first day of school. At the Junior High, we had a great turnout for orientation as well. The evening began with a presentation by motivational speaker vJ Smith who talked to students and parents about the value and importance of gratitude and saying “thank you”. Along with the excitement of returning to school comes the
reality that all students need to have the proper vaccinations prior to entering school. In addition to the normal required vaccinations, several other warnings have come out from the medical community regarding meningitis and pertussis (whoop-ing cough).The School Nurse Organization of Minnesota is urging stu-
dents to add meningitis vaccinations to their back-to-school check list. Public health officials recommend an initial shot at ages 11 to 12, with a booster dose by age 18. The nurses' group says 40 percent of teens in Minnesota haven't been properly vaccinated and are at risk.The nurses say that while the start of the school year is a
busy time for students and their parents, it's also prime time for spreading infections, which can be passed on by common activities in school, such as sharing a water bottle.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says while
bacterial meningitis is spread through respiratory means, viral meningitis can be spread by improper hand washing after using the bathroom or changing a diaper.Pertussis often begins with symptoms similar to the common
cold: runny nose, sneezing, mild cough and possibly fever. A persistent cough may start about 1-2 weeks later. Coughing can occur in bursts and may end with high-pitched whooping sound and sometimes vomiting or gagging. Coughing can be worse at night. Between coughing fits, the person may appear “well.” Cough can last up to 100 days. If you have been coughing for more than 7 days, please contact your health care provider.Whooping Cough booster (Tdap vaccine) can be given to those
10 years of age and older in epidemic areas.Because of the highly contagious nature of the illness, the
Minnesota Department of Health recommends that children/staff not return to school/activities until there is a negative test result or the child/staff has completed at least 5 days of an appropriate antibiotic. If you have questions about vaccinations that are required
for your child or about some of the current health concerns discussed above, please feel free to contact our school nurse, Rachelle Kerkow, at 873-2402.As always, if you have any questions about school matters,
please feel free to call me at 873-2400 or check our website at www.belleplaine.k12.mn.us. Go Tigers!
Superintendent’s Update
By Dr. Kelly Smithdefense), so we still have a lot of learning and coaching to do. The best part is the effort that the defense gave all night in the hot conditions,” Johnston said.Dauwalter had a team-high
10 tackles to go along with his two fumble recoveries. Bahr had six tackles to go along with his two interceptions. Ben Stier had nine tackles and two forced fumbles. Other statistics, including
team totals, were not available by Tuesday’s press time.Next up for the Tigers is a bout
with Tri-City United 7 p.m. this Friday at the Belle Plaine Athletic Complex. The Titans will be making their Minnesota River Conference debut. Tri-City United is a cooperative of Montgomery-Lonsdale and Le Center high schools.The Titans, with a roster of
more than 100 players, got their merger off to a successful start as they rallied from a 20-0 half-time deficit to defeat perennial power Waterville-Elysian-Mor-ristown 21-20 in last week’s season opener.In other season openers in-
volving MRC teams, Water-town-Mayer ripped Rockford 52-20, Sibley East bested Gib-bon-Fairfax-Winthrop 34-8, Mayer Lutheran blasted Eden valley-Watkins 49-14, St. Pe-ter hammered Le Sueur-Hen-derson 34-7, St. Paul Highland Park clubbed Jordan 41-10 and Howard Lake-Waverly-Win-sted downed Norwood Young America 19-12.

for their determination and hustle, especially in those third sets,” said Belle Plaine coach Annette Moylan.
Sibley East 4, Tigers 3In a match that was postponed
from Thursday afternoon to Fri-day morning due to heat, it was the Wolverines who prevailed by a 4-3 count.All three of the Tigers’ wins
came in doubles. Included were Stolee and Schneider (6-4, 6-1), Read and Brazil (6-3, 7-5) and Gavin and Abby Brandt (7-6, 7-5).Lambrecht had the most com-
petitive singles match for Belle Plaine. She lost in a tiebreaker in the first set and then went down 2-6 in the second.“We played tough but things
didn’t go our way. We are look-ing forward to reversing that score when we travel to Ar-lington in a couple of weeks,” Moylan said.

What’s Happening
Farm Family of the YearThe Minnesota Farmers Union recently announced that Casey Acres, Inc. of Prior Lake is the Farm Family of the Year for Scott County. Generations five and six are currently work-ing on the farm, and the Casey family milks 100 Holsteins and grows approximately 1,600 acres of corn, soybeans and alfalfa. Casey Acres was established in 1855. Rob and Pat are the fifth generation on the farm, and Pat’s son, Calvin, is the sixth. On the farm, Helen handles the bookkeeping and Rob and Pat work with the cows and fieldwork. Calvin is a full-time employee on the farm. Colin, Kayln and Kylee help with feeding calves and milking. Rob, and Pat’s nephew, Jake, also help with daily chores and field work when he is not in school at Prior Lake High School. The University of Minnesota Ex-tension Farm Family Recognition Program has existed for over two decades and honors farm families from throughout Minnesota for their contributions to the agriculture industry and their local communities. All of the honored farm families have made significant contributions to Minnesota agriculture and their communities. Pictured above with Mr. Casey is Min-nesota Farmers Union Vice President Gary Wertish.
As it prepares to approve its budget and property tax levy for 2013, the Green Isle City Council turned to an experi-enced resident for help. The council unanimously approved the appointment of John Schau-er at its Aug. 28 meeting.Schauer was appointed to fill
the seat Councilor Shane Sheets position resigned from recently to spend more time with his son. Citing work commitments, Councilor Steve Wilson has been a no-show at several re-cent meetings.As Green Isle’s mayor, Ran-
dal Bruegger has the authority to appointment someone to fill Sheets’ seat until Jan. 1, 2013. Bruegger selected Schauer because of his experience as a multi-term city councilor during the 1990s and also his commitment to serving Green Isle residents. A member of the city’s fire department, Schauer said he was happy to help the city out in a time of need.
Schauer is not one of the can-didates for the city council. Regardless of how many meet-ings he attends, Schauer will be paid a pro-rated share of a councilor’s $1,460. Councilors are also paid $30 each for at-tending council-approved com-mittee additional meetings.But even though he is tem-
porarily filling a council seat in a time of need, state statute on incompatible offices likely prevents Schauer from work-ing for the city as a fill-in for its part-time public works staffer, logging a handful of paid hours annually.
Court-OrderedDemolition
Sibley County District Court has ordered the Eustis Building at 130 Grove Street S. be razed by Sept. 20.For several years, the city
has sought to have the build-ing adjacent to Green Isle City Hall razed. The city contends
the building, which has gap-ing holes in a roof and has been deemed unsafe for occupancy, is a safety hazard. The city will assess the cost of the demoli-tion onto the building’s prop-erty taxes.The building has also been
on and off the county’s list of properties facing forfeiture for non-payment of property taxes.A series of delays by the build-
ing’s owners – Lee A. Eustis and Michele Volkenant – has delayed what now appears to be an unavoidable date with the wrecking ball.
2013 Budget Prep, Preliminary Levy
The council is facing a poten-tial time crunch for talks on a proposed 2013 budget and ap-proval of a preliminary prop-erty tax levy that can not be
Green Isle Turns to Familiar Face to Fill City Council Seat
increase, only decreased once enacted.If it can agree to a meeting
time with its contract finance person, Kristi Brutlag of AEM Financial, the council is aiming to meet in a budget workshop Sept. 11, 6 p.m.The council is considering a
proposed 2013 operating bud-get of $473,079 – a 2.38 per-cent increase over 2012. It is considering a 3 percent prop-erty tax levy increase for 2013 – from $502,327 to $517,400.The impact the increase
would have on the city’s share of the typical house in Green Isle, if ultimately approved be-fore Dec. 31, 2012, will in part depend on the change in valu-ation and any action by state lawmakers.The biggest possible increase
is in the budget is for streets. The city is considering increas-ing spending on streets by 10.32 percent, from $138,529 to $152,832. Other spending increases are for sheriff’s pa-trol, from $42,500 to $45,000; clerk from $15,340 to $17,898; and financial administration, from $31,500 to $35,000.Proposed spending cuts in-
clude cutting general gov-ernment (from $132,750 to $119,800; eliminating spend-ing $2,000 on temporary em-ployees for elections; and eliminating $3,460 from city contingency funds.

Tigers Hold Off Giantsby Dan RuudThe Belle Plaine High School
volleyball team got a giant win in its season-opening match at Le Sueur-Henderson last Tuesday night, winning in four games (25-19, 25-19, 18-25, 25-22) against the state’s No. 3-ranked team in Class 2A on its own floor. The Tigers came in ranked No. 8 in the State Coaches Association Poll.“It was the perfect start to
this season,” said Belle Plaine coach Cassie Wolpern. “The girls came in with a great men-tal focus, knowing they’d need to play well to defeat this con-ference favorite. I was especial-
ly pleased with our consistency and simplicity – two key factors in any first game of the season. “Our balanced attack was a
preview of our greatest strength this year,” Wolpern continued. “We had three players mak-ing their debut as starters in a varsity match and you would have never even known watch-ing them as they blended right in with our veterans. This was a good level for us to begin the year at and this is now the bar we’ve set to improve from.”Leading the Tigers’ balanced
attack were seniors Kirsten Johnson, Haley fogarty and Jordan Going, who clubbed 16,
12 and 10 kills, respectively. Also joining in the hit parade were eighth-grader Mariena Hayden (8), junior Marykay Nasby (7) and junior Amara Meyer (2).Hayden led the team in service
aces with four and senior Claire Otto had 15 digs. Johnson had 30 assists and junior Devin Lehman added 20. Going was tops in solo blocks with two.Jessica Thelemann had 21 kills
and three blocks for the Giants, followed by Gabby Thomas with 10.

Tigers Split First MRC MatchesThe Belle Plaine High School
tennis team battled through a hectic second week of the sea-son and came out of it with a 1-2 record, which included winning its opening Minnesota River Conference match against Le Sueur-Henderson before bow-ing in the second one to Sibley East. Both those matches were at home. The other loss came Monday (Aug. 27) at Blue Earth Area.The Tigers, 3-4 overall, were
scheduled to host Tri-City Unit-ed in a another MRC match Tuesday after this edition of the Herald went to press. They will head to St. James for some non-conference action this Saturday before heading to New Prague
next Monday. Defending MRC champion Jordan will be in town for a key contest next Tuesday.
Blue Earth Area 6, Tigers 1The Tigers made the long bus
ride to Blue Earth Area on Mon-day and had a long afternoon on the courts as well as they were pounded by the Bucs 6-1.Ashley Morrison (No. 1
singles) accounted for Belle Plaine’s only win as she defeat-ed Karleigh Wolff 6-4, 6-4. The Tigers’ other singles players – Lindsay Vennie, Kate Savage and Ireland Lambrecht – each loss in straight sets.All three doubles matches
went three sets but the Tigers
came up on the short end in each won. Included were the No. 1 team of Allison Stolee and Jane Schneider (5-7, 6-1, 4-6), the No. 2 duo of Sophie Brazil and Jamie Read (6-3, 3-6, 4-6) and the No. 3 pair of Meghan Gavin and Kaisa Hall-gren (3-6, 6-3, 0-6).

Tigers Turnover Eaglesby Dan RuudThe Belle Plaine High School
football team opened the 2012 season with a 34-18 triumph over New Ulm Thursday night at the Belle Plaine Athletic Complex.The game, which did not end
until shortly before 11 p.m. (kickoff was pushed back an hour due to the heat), featured an offensive show by both teams. But it was the Tigers who were the beneficiaries of several turnovers that helped keep the Eagles at bay. Included were two interceptions by Zach Bahr and two fumble recover-ies by Gavin Dauwalter.New Ulm scored first when
quarterback Chris Mulder threw a touchdown pass to Isa-iah Johnson with 6:04 left in the first quarter.The Eagles’ lead was short-
lived, however, as Nick Eliason returned the ensuing kickoff to midfield, which helped set up a 26-yard TD gallop by Zack Juaire with 5:26 left in the first quarter. Like the Eagles, the Ti-gers’ conversion attempt failed, keeping the score 6-6.That’s where it would stay
until late in the second quar-ter when Belle Plaine receiver Luke Narveson made a leaping catch in the end zone. The two-point conversion was good and the Tigers took a 14-6 lead into halftime.New Ulm decided to begin
the second half with an on-side kick and it worked as the Eagles gained possession at the Belle Plaine 48. A few minutes later, Mulder hooked up with Sam Miller on a 27-yard scor-ing play. Again, New Ulm’s two-point conversion failed and Belle Plaine still led 14-12 with 9:17 left in the third quarter.A couple of possessions later,
Dauwalter’s first fumble recov-ery ended a New Ulm scoring threat. On the ensuing drive, the Tigers marched 69 yards, culminating with a touchdown pass from Howie to Narveson with 1:13 left in the third quar-ter. The two-point conversion attempted was no good, keep-ing the score 20-12.Belle Plaine would make it a
14-point margin a few minutes later as Dauwalter scooped up his second fumble and this time raced down field with the ball
all the way to the New Ulm 27 yard line. Juaire scored shortly thereafter on a short run to the end zone to make it 26-12 with 10:13 left in the game.The Eagles didn’t quit as Mul-
der drove them 70 yards on their next possession, which ended with a 22-yard scoring strike from Mulder to Johnson. Again, the two-point try was no good and it was 26-18 with 8:05 left to play.New Ulm tried another on-
side kick and this time the ball did not go 10 yards. Later in the quarter, still down by eight, the Eagles were stopped on downs at their own 19 yard line, a gam-ble that would prove costly as Belle Plaine running back Jor-dan Johnson burst into the end zone a short time later. Howie’s two-point pass to Mitchell Nel-son made it 34-18 with 4:17 re-maining in the game.Bahr’s second interception
on New Ulm’s next possession ended what little hope the Ea-gles had left.Howie finished the game 9-
of-26 passing for 220 yards and two TDs. Narveson had five receptions for 117 yards, followed by Eliason with two grabs for 69 yards.In the rushing department,
Juaire had 12 carries for 69 yards and two TDs. Johnson rushed 11 times for 50 yards and one TD.“Offensively, we hit some big
plays and made them when we needed to,” said Tigers coach Justin Johnston. “Our running game is coming along as it showed consistency in parts of the game.”Defensively, the Tigers al-
lowed New Ulm to put up some sizeable numbers. Mulder was 14-of-30 throwing, good for 229 yards and three TDs. full-back Jackson Yackley had 27 carries for 106 yards.“Defensively, we are young
and it showed at times. We only started three seniors (on

Moseying on Up to the Dairy QueenThe Belle Plaine Dairy Queen doesn’t have oats on the menu but that didn’t stop six horses and riders from moseying up to the drive-through window and ordering lunch on Monday. DQ Manager Sara Whitaker said it was a first for her at the Belle Plaine DQ and she’s been there for 10 years. Their customers were six women who keep horses at Executive Air Stables in Andover. They decided to go on a Labor Day trail ride in an area they hadn’t traveled before. They trailered their horses to the Scott County Fairgrounds and road them along the park trail system to Belle Plaine. One of the riders said her GPS informed her there was a Dairy Queen up the road in Belle Plaine. The riders were Tara Saunders of Andover, Lori Aus of Andover, Keeley Citrowske of Andover, Sara Killiron of Shoreview, Geri Cheney of Cam-bridge and Kathy Boots of Minneapolis.

Lunch(continued from page 1)
Donovan said the calorie caps could leave active students and athletes feeling hungry by the end of the day.The new program is intended
to make sure students are being served a healthier menu. The district is also waiting to see how much the program costs.School Board directors were
recently briefed on the program. They are concerned that while compliance with the meal pro-gram will generate an additional 6 cents per meal in subsidy from the state, the extra revenue will be eaten up by the higher cost of fresh fruits and vegetables. Last year, the district served 183,642 lunch meals during the 2011-12 school year. The additional 6 cents means an ad-ditional $11,018 for the district. Taher has warned the district to expect a 5-10 percent increase in food costs this year,Chuck Keller, the district’s fi-
nance director, is expecting the program is likely a break-even deal.
Board members also noted the program will likely result in higher food waste hauling costs for disposing of healthier food students won’t eat.“We’ll be monitoring that,”
Superintendent Kelly Smith said.Keller said the district needs
to go through a year of the new program to determine if it is worthwhile and consider its financial impact. The costs as-sociated with the addition of daily fresh fruits and vegeta-bles could push the district to increase school lunch prices for the 2013-14 school year, Keller said.Belle Plaine is below the av-
erage costs area schools charge for school-prepared lunches. It charges junior-senior high school students $1.95 for lunch, elementary school students $1.80.While some school districts
in other states have considered withdrawing from the USDA school lunch program, Keller doesn’t see that happening be-cause about 23 percent of the district’s 1,600-plus students receive free or reduced meals.

concern to the county planning commission the new barn will worsen the smell in the area. They pointed the fans away from the neighbor’s house, hoping to ease her concerns.“We could have pointed them
any direction we wanted,” he said. “The nearest neighbor is 1,700 feet away.”The Scott County Planning
Commission and county board OK’d Koepp’s request for ap-proval to expand his operation, citing Blakeley Township’s agricultural heritage and its de-sire to remain deeply rooted in ag. “It’s like they said, if you can’t farm in Blakeley Town-ship, where can you farm,” said Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township.Koepp’s new barn has enough
capacity for a year’s worth of liquid manure. It will be han-dled in strict compliance with the Minnesota Pollution Con-trol Agency (MPCA) guide-lines, he said.Mark Koepp recalls start-
ing with two pigs of his own in 1976. Today, he, Bruce and their five employees will see about 28,000 pigs pass through. They stress the animals are treated humanly, that only a very small number perished from the summer’s stretches of oppressive heat.“This isn’t a factory farm,” he
said. “It’s a family farm.”
