Winter Still Standing TallThe creator of this snowman on East Main Street had some fun with this year’s extended winter. Now that it’s past the middle of April, most people would like to see this symbol of winter gone sooner than later. But chances are he’ll be around (or recognizable) for at least another few days.

Let the Digging BeginWork began Monday on Belle Plaine’s 2013 street and utility improvement project, including at the 100 block of West Main Street, resulting in the closure of that street for an indefinite period of time. When finished, that stretch of road will remain the same width but much of the rest of West Main Street (between Willow and Buffalo streets) will be reduced by up to 20 feet to the city’s state-aid standard of 44 feet. The boulevards on both sides of the street will be widened accordingly. This year’s project also includes street reconstruction and utility improvements at Eagle Street between Park and West Main Street and the 100 block of North Buffalo Street. Chard Tiling and Excavating was awarded the contract for this year’s project with a low bid of $1,304,218. An assessment public hearing will be held this fall, shortly after the bulk of the project has been completed.

Snow Not Stopping This SaleA half-foot or so of wet, sticky snow did not keep Cindy Kruschke from holding a garage sale at her home at 104 Oakwood Drive on Friday (April 12). She said her husband Dave told her if she’s going to go through all the trouble of setting up the sale, you might as well have it for two weekends, which will also include this week’s City-Wide Garage Sale that takes place Friday and Saturday.

Monday night unanimously ap-proved the terms for a loan to Main Street Donuts and Deli from the city’s economic de-velopment authority’s (EDA) revolving loan fund program.Tim and Linda Heng of

Main Street Donuts and Deli, who plan to open for business within the next several weeks at 108 West Main Street (the former Duets facility), applied for and will receive $21,600 for kitchen improvements related to the reopening of a business at that site.“The proposed project is con-

sistent with the EDA’s revolv-ing loan fund purpose state-ment to provide capacity and incentive to upgrade operating efficiency of businesses,” states a report from Municipal Devel-opment Group, which assisted owners Tim and Linda Heng with the application process for the loan. The report adds that the project also addresses the city’s goal to provide more eat-

ing establishments in the com-munity.The loan is for a term of seven

years at 1.25 percent interest, “contingent upon the execution of the loan agreement, promis-sory note and a second mort-gage as collateral.”The Hengs also applied for

and will receive a facade im-provement loan from the city for new signage in the amount of $763.75. The Hengs will provide a 1:1 match, resulting in a forgivable loan of $763.75 to be paid to the contractor, Dahlen Sign Company. Under the city’s policy and loan agree-ment, the loan will be forgiven if the Hengs stay in business on that property for at least one year or transfer ownership of the business to another entity that maintains the business in the improved building for at least one year.Following staff’s report, the

council approved the loans to the Hengs with no discussion.The Hengs recently purchased

the former Duets building from

Rick and Mary Krant. They also operate Broadway Market in Jordan. Main Street Donuts and Deli will offer breakfast pastries, sandwiches, hamburg-ers, soups and more.Meanwhile, the council Mon-

day also unanimously approved the terms of a forgivable facade improvement loan to Dr. Todd Meeker and Connie Meeker of Belle Plaine Chiroprac-tic. The Meekers applied for $1,500 from the city’s facade improvement loan program to help finance signage at the their new building at 200 West Main Street downtown.In other business Monday

night, the council called for a public hearing on a proposed ordinance amendment pertain-ing to projecting signage. On March 18, the council addressed at length an after-the-fact vari-ance request by Canopy Group to be allowed to keep a two-month-old projecting banner

City Council Approves Loans for New Downtown Business

Recent Snow, Rain Softens DroughtThe cloudy, wet and cool

weather has not made it feel much like spring in Minnesota, but the slushy snow and rain in March and April have helped reduce the drought conditions that have persisted since last fall.Especially now that the ground

is thawed and seeding is per-haps only a few weeks away, the above normal precipitation of recent weeks is all the more beneficial to the state’s farmers, including the Belle Plaine area. According to the county rain

gauge on the Ewald and Adella Gruetzmacher farm in Belle Plaine, 12.75 inches of snow/rain has fallen in Belle Plaine since April 1, which (after the snow is melted) computes to 3.46 inches of rain. That’s on top of the 12.50 inches of snow in March, which is equivalent to 2.2 inches of rain.“That’s quite a lot (of mois-

ture),” said Adella Gruetzm-acher when comparing this spring’s total moisture so far to many other years.The Gruetzmacher gauge has

been an official measuring stick for Scott County for many years.State climatologist Greg

Spoden said that while many Minnesotans have been wait-ing a long time for warm, dry weather, there’s a bright side to the gloomy conditions. “The long spell of cloudy,

dreary and rainy weather will be worth it when we won’t be springing right into a serious drought situation in southern Minnesota,” he said.

Flood Risk LowDespite the snow, rain and re-

cent ground thaw, Scott County Emergency Management Di-rector Chris Weldon said that barring any widespread heavy rains along the Minnesota Riv-er Valley anytime soon, the risk for major spring flooding this spring is minimal.The cold nights have helped

reduce the rapidity of moisture from snow melt and ground thaw entering the river, giv-ing what water does make it in more time to flow downstream before more follows.

Weldon said the flood stage for Jordan is 25 feet, and as of this week, the river there is only

at about 12 feet.“I’m pretty optimistic we’re

going to be okay,” Weldon said.

Snow DayEthan Laing, 9, and his sister Vienne, 6, took advantage of sticky snow and mild temperatures to build a snow fort and snow men in their front yard on East Shea Street. The chil-dren enjoyed an unscheduled snow day Thursday (April 11) when several inches of the slippery white stuff kept school buses safely parked in the garage.

Cologne City Council HiresHendel as New AdministratorJohn Hendel stood in a conve-

nience store a month ago disap-pointed the Cologne City Coun-cil didn’t offer him a job as its next administrator. “Things happen for a reason,” he said.Monday, two weeks after it re-

scinded its offer to the favored candidate, the council turned back to the Cologne resident. They cited his passion and drive for the community.“I believe we can do great

things for Cologne,” Hendel said.The city council approved

Hendel as its next city admin-istrator in a special meeting last week (April 8). Monday (April 15), the council unani-mously approved a two-year contract with a starting salary of $68,000.Hendel, the chief promoter of

the Cologne Fire Department’s summer drive-in movie night and a 13-year veteran of the department, will start his new job as city administrator April 29. He arrives as city adminis-trator from Mid-County Coop-erative’s sales and marketing manager, a position he’s held since July of 2012. Before join-ing the cooperative, Hendel worked for almost two decades at VerticalXchange. His last as-signment was as its director of the company’s agriculture divi-sion.Hendel, his wife, Ann, and

their family live in Cologne. Hendel is from Wilmont, Minn., a small town near Worthington. They moved to Cologne 18 years ago and enjoy the small-town lifestyle.He knows there is plenty to

learn about being an admin-istrator in a public world. His work with VerticalXchange, where he managed multiple de-

partments and their respective budgets, gave him the financial experience the city council be-lieves will allow him to handle city finance.Hendel, 45, is optimistic, ex-

cited for the opportunity to serve his community in a new way. He’ll remain a member of the Cologne Fire Department. Just as he did as an inexperi-

enced firefighter, Hendel plans to learn from those who’ve per-formed the job well. With the council’s approval, he’ll look to other area city administrators and managers as mentors.“I’m going to reach out,” Hen-

del said. I have a lot of expe-rience, but I need somebody who’s going to help me use my experience in the right way.”Councilor Scott Williams is

confident Hendel is the right person for the job despite his lack of public sector experi-ence. Hendel has a big learning curve to tackle, Williams said, but he’s confident “he’ll over-come it. I know he will.”Mayor Matt Lein confirmed

Hendel was the city council’s No. 2 choice when it looked to Brian Beeman as its next administrator last month. The council later rescinded its offer to Beeman after learning “un-favorable” information from performance reviews Beeman received from the Melrose City Council.Hendel has managed people

before and led different de-partments working in concert toward a common goal. The biggest challenge Hendel faces, Lein said, is the public sector part of the job. confident Hen-del is the right person for the job despite his lack of public sector experience.“He needs to learn what’s pub-

lic and what’s not,” the mayor

said.

Covenant ConcernsA group of Cologne residents,

led by Julie Cink, asked the council for its support push-ing a home builder, Novak-Fleck, to honor its covenants in a neighborhood northwest of Benton Lake.The city approved the devel-

opment about a decade ago, before the housing market crashed. The residents are con-cerned the new houses Novak-Fleck is building in the neigh-borhood violates the covenants by lacking variety of architec-tural design.The council agreed to discuss

the issue with its contracted community development plan-ner, Dean Johnson, and city attorney at an upcoming meet-ing.

Glad DaysThe council received a brief

update on Glad Days, July 26-27. Activities Friday evening will be moved to the city park near Fritz Field. The council later raised concerns about managing traffic and people in the area because the Cologne Hollanders are hosting a Le-gion baseball tournament at the ballpark the same weekend.

In other action at its April 15 meeting, the Cologne City Council:n Paid bills totaling

$55,000.59.n Approved liquor licenses

for businesses current on prop-erty taxes.n Approved spending $150 to

advertise the Cologne Commu-nity Center in the Hollanders’ baseball program.

Unscheduled StopA trucker heading north on Highway 169 lost control of the rig and ended up in the ditch just north of Highway 19 in southern Blakeley Township Thursday morning (April 11). The driver was not injured but the vehicle was delayed several hours as two tow trucks worked to return it to the roadway. Several inches of wet snow made driving especially treacherous.

Rotary Breakfast Fund-raiserThe Belle Plaine Rotary Club, with the help of local Boy Scouts Troop 324, held a pancake and sausage breakfast Sunday at the Belle Plaine Vets Club downtown. Profits from the event, which are still being calculated, will go to the Belle Plaine Food Shelf. Among the many Rotary Club members helping out (above photo) were Ashton Pankonin, Fred Keup, Tom Meger and Janel Schmidt. Pictured below being of service to customer Brett Kruschke are scouts Alex-ander Fedderson and Dan Cooper. The Belle Plaine Rotary Club has been a strong supporter of the Belle Plaine Food Shelf since its doors opened. Last February, the club donated over $11,000 in refrigerator and freezer equipment to the food shelf.

Wish FulfilledSeven-year-old Morgan Sawyer of Belle Plaine was the guest of honor during a special gath-ering Monday at Applebee’s in Shakopee. Morgan has been battling several serious medical conditions throughout most of her life, including epilepsy and metabolic disorder, both of which are life-threatening. Her parents, Vincent and Heather Sawyer, recently sought out the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Minnesota on behalf of Morgan, who subsequently was granted the wish requested by her family. Morgan on Monday received an educational communica-tions package, which includes an iPad and other educational devices and games. The Sawyers selected Applebee’s as the site for the presentation because “it’s their favorite restaurant.” Pictured in the front, from left, are nurse Ashley Hackett, Morgan and Julie Dover of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Minnesota. In the back are Morgan’s parents Heather and Vin-cent and little brother Gavin. The Make-A-Wish Foundation “is dedicated to granting the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.”

Louis and his family enjoyed many weekends camping and fishing most recently spending time at the lake in their travel trailer, camping at Nevis and Clearwater.

BELLE PLAINE HERALD, BELLE PLAINE, MINNESOTA PAGE fOuR WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 2013

Each week, I try to read some-thing that is a bit outside of my usual range of reading. The hope is to learn something new or find something that may be rather en-joyable but so far, unknown to me. It often pays off and in many cases, I choose to share what I learned with others. This week, I went a slightly different route. I watched a movie from our selec-tion of DVDs here at the library.It is easy to dismiss a movie as

uninteresting if you look at the jacket and recognize none of the names. I have done it. It is likely that you have also. Do you ever wonder what you might be miss-ing?This past week, a DVD of a

movie called “Kolya” came through the library. I do not ex-actly know why I stopped to take a second look, let alone, why I proceeded to check it out. Some-thing about it made it look inter-esting. When I went to view it, I was a bit surprised to find the lan-guage choices were Czech and french. To get any English at all, I had to turn on subtitles. Often, I would have abandoned the effort by now, but the movie started and quickly grew to be interesting.The movie takes place in

Czechoslovakia during the last year or so of the Russian occupa-tion. The movie depicts some of the difficulties of living there at the time. I do not wish to give the story away. It was well worth the time I spent on it. The story was interesting and believable. The actors were quite good, even if I did not recognize any of them. Our DVD rack has a good selec-

tion of movies. Some have titles that you probably will not rec-ognize. Take a chance on some-thing new or different. You may find something enjoyable that is different from what you typically would select. We can help you find something. Story-Time this week will be

held at the Chatfield School in the ECfE classroom. Kristin will be reading her favorite stories friday, April 19 at 10:30 A.M. The CAP Agency Play and Learn

Green Isle Moving Enacting New Sump Pump OrdinanceHoping to reduce the amount

of money it spends on unneces-sarily treating clean water, the Green Isle City Council recent-ly approved a new ordinance intended to prohibit residents from sending drinkable water for sewage treatment.The new ordinance the coun-

cil unanimously approved April 9 requires property owners in Green Isle to allow the city to inspect their property at least once by Dec. 1 to make sure a sump pump is not sending clean water and storm to Arlington to be treated as if it is liquid sew-age. The city pays Arlington to treat water at its sanitary sew-age plant. Green Isle installed sewer lines

to Arlington several years ago. But in the years since, the city is concerned water it can’t ac-count for is infiltrating its sani-tary sewer lines to Arlington.Councilors current and past

have long been concerned about infiltration via residents using sump pumps to move excess storm water away from their houses and lawns through sanitary sewer lines.The new ordinance is aimed

at making sure residents are not illegally hooking up a sump pump to sanitary sewer lines.The ordinance calls for a city-

selected inspector to check properties by Dec. 1 and then perform spot checks as deemed necessary. Mayor Dale Zum-Berge said the ordinance is

more focused on cooperation than reprimand.“We’re not out to catch any-

body. We’re not out to catch or fine anybody. We want to give them every opportunity to get it right,” ZumBerge said.Councilor Mark Wentzlaff

noted people might disconnect an improperly hooked up sump pump and then reinstall it ille-gally once an inspector leaves.“You won’t get away from

that,” ZumBerge said. “That’s when you surprise them and come back a different day.”City Clerk Bert Panning asked

about people who refuse to al-low a city-approved inspector in the house. The ordinance includes a provision requiring property owners to permit a city-approved inspector access. Wentzlaff said people with nothing to hide have nothing to worry about.“We’ll take care of that when

the time comes,” ZumBerge said.

2012 Audit:Good, Bad News

If the City of Green Isle was a corporation, some of its divi-sions would have shown a prof-it last year. Other finished in the red during 2012.Overall, the city took in more

than it spent, but not by much.Green Isle’s auditing firm of

Burkhardt & Burkhardt recent-ly reported the city took in more

money than it spent providing city services during 2012. But, its enterprise funds finished in the red, in part because of un-paid bills for water, sewer and solid waste collections.The city took in $799,227 in

taxes, assessments, licenses and permits, intergovernmen-tal funds, charges for services fines and investments during 2012. The city spent $757,281 -- $41,956 less than it took in, during 2012.The city’s water fund finished

2012 $49,615 below breaking even while the sewer fund fin-ished with a surplus of $51,777. The refuse fund finished last year with a surplus of $7,561. Overall, the three utility funds finished with a positive balance of $9,723. But that’s well below the positive balance -- $16,917 – the three funds enjoyed in 2011.At the council’s direction, the

city plans to crack down on se-vere past-due bills to avoid the shortfall,“We have to,” ZumBerge

said.

At its April 9 meeting, the Green Isle City Council:n Paid bills totaling

$27,785.21.n Granted a request from the

fire department to close por-tions of Parnell and Railroad streets July 12-13 to celebrate the department’s 125th anni-versary.

Junk Yard BathMost all of Belle Plaine’s businesses are high and dry when the Minnesota River floods, but not the Voss Salvage Yard. The river came up so fast that week (the third crest of the spring of 1983) they didn’t get time to move out their crusher. The high water covered most of the property.

The Minnesota River made its third crest of the spring. The early thaw in february started the streams rolling and by the first week of March the river was out of its banks, flood-ing much of the bottom land. It slowly receded only to pop back up again a few weeks later and then went back down again. That week, on the heels of some recent snowfalls, it hit its highest crest of the year. The Blakeley road, Highway 19 into Henderson and the Carver-Jor-dan road were all underwater. That Sunday night, a Benton Township bridge over Bevens Creek collapsed.A second informational meet-

ing would be held that coming Sunday afternoon at St. John’s Parish Hall in faxon Township regarding the hazardous waste disposal site in Hancock and Benton townships in Carver County. Sister Mary Mark Techney, director of the Rural Life Conference for the state of Minnesota, would speak on the issue of stewardship of the land. “The proposed use of prime ag-ricultural land for hazardous waste disposal is against good stewardship of the land,” father Joe Arackal said. “This is a very real problem. Prime agricultur-al land has become the disposal site for urban and industrial and residential wastes.”A show of unity was evident

that Wednesday night as Mn-Power got a big turnout from supporters. About 150 people gathered to hear of citizen ac-tion responding to problems at a Wheeling, Ind., solid waste landfill. “Wheeler is about as identical to Cologne as you’d ever want to get,” said Mn-Power’s Bill Grams, who had recently visited the area with Stan Anderson. “When we drove into Wheeler, we saw the site right away,” Grams said. “It

was readily identified by a big waste management logo at the top of a silo. Whose silo is that logo going to be on?”Township officials went to the

Carver County Courthouse in Chaska that Tuesday to make it known that they weren’t happy with the actions of the Carver County assessor. They took ex-ception to his claim that farm buildings in Young America, Benton and Camden townships were being under valued by 40 percent.The Belle Plaine High School

baseball team won its second game of the young season as it defeated the Le Center Wildcats 5-4. Reserve Steve Schmidt walked with the bases loaded to plate the winning run. Kevin Wolpern drove in two runs and Paul Woestehoff scored twice to lead the Tigers. Bryan Koepp pitched the first four innings for Belle Plaine before giving way to relievers Jeff fogarty and Jeff Miller, the latter of whom picked up the win.Stephannie Kellogg and Jim

O’Laughlin both placed first in their respective categories at the Region 4 A Speech Con-test held that Saturday in Belle Plaine. They would now rep-resent Belle Plaine at the State Speech Contest in Shakopee that coming friday. As a team, Belle Plaine finished fifth over-all in a field of 22 at the region event involving 132 contes-tants.Laurie fogarty set a school

record in an eight-team track and field meet in Le Sueur as she placed first in the 400-me-ter run. She also won the high jump. Times and final team scores were not available.

acher celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their home with many relatives and friends.Mr. and Mrs. William Woods

of Arlington were surprised by many relatives and friends on their 35th wedding anniver-sary.Lawrence Hartman, 60, who

died at his home in St. Benedict parish, was a brother of Philip Hartman of Belle Plaine.A second judge was voted for

the eighth judicial district state legislature. It was expected that Gov. C. Elmer Anderson would sign the bill.Lee Lynch took the highest

honors in speech he could when he was given a superior rating at the State Speech Meet with his dramatic selection “The Button.”Mrs. Bertha Peterson, long-

time resident of Belle Plaine, passed away at Bethesda In-valid Home in St. Paul at the age of 73.Miss Ritz E. Dressen, daughter

of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Dressen of Arlington, became the bride of Glen P. Schostag, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Schostag of Belle Plaine.August Herman Rohlfs, 73, a

resident of Motley, died at his home. Mr. Rohlfs was a former resident of Belle Plaine and a flour hauler for Latzke’s mill.

90 Years Ago (1923)

The swimming season unof-ficially opened in Belle Plaine that year on April 21 when two of our boys went down to the river to test the water and swam across. That early swimming record was expected to endure.The head of the local radio

shop reported 25 radio sets in this community, half in town and half on farms. Some of the sets ranged up to $300 in price.Victor Kahle made his first

try at professional baseball. He reported to the Mitchell, S.D., team in the Dakota League.After spending a half-year

with his folks in Kentucky, Jack Carter returned here, saying he preferred this locality to Ken-tucky.Peter A. Solheid, well-known

Union Hill farmer, died at age 76.Mrs. James B. Corcoran,

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Colbert of Assumption, died at her home in Jessenland at the age of 33.Among those who came to

attend the funeral of Mr. John Holste was William Salisbury of Minneapolis. It had been 15 years since he moved from the farm in Blakeley to the city.A number from the German

Settlement went to Mora to at-tend the funeral of Mrs. Her-man Winterfeldt. She was a sister of William Kruschke and Mrs. Henry Schulz.Mrs. Peterson, one of the pio-

neer settlers of the East Union community, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Oscar Burl-ing, at the age of 80.The legislature reduced slight-

ly the $17 average for auto li-censes, but refused to issue the proposed $20,000,000 bond is-sue, so trunk highway improve-ments were due to curtailment.

120 Years Ago (1893)

The next to last week of April brought a “howling snow bliz-zard” that delayed trains, re-tarded seeding and sent the river over its banks.Morrison & Duffy sent their

clerk, Alfred Johnson, to Sioux City with a carload of cattle.H.L. Mills, who lost a leg in

the Civil War, was back from the city to look up old friends. He settled in Belle Plaine in 1855.There was 8 inches of snow

on the level after the storm of April 20, and the oldest inhab-itants said they had never seen the likes of it before.

days of the new Pope. The new Pope does not change my life but watching his humility as he takes office and begins his ministry help me to understand some things I have been puz-zling.As I watched him decline the

fancy robes and ornaments, and turn down the big apartment, I realized that a country is not rich depending on how rich its richest princes are. A country is rich depending on if its poorest people have enough to eat, are safe in their homes, and can get medical care when it is needed. The Republicans have spent

a great deal of time and energy trying to convince us that letting the rich keep all their treasure will make us a rich country. It becomes clearer each day that the Republican call for an end to the Federal deficit spend-ing is just the newest way for the rich to separate themselves

from the working people who spend each day hoping to earn enough for bread and clothes and shelter for their children. The United States is a great

country. Its greatness is in the fact that its people work with urgency to end hunger, hous-ing inequalities, and the lack of medical care. The richest one percent are not the citizens that will prove we are a coun-try with Christian values. The citizens in the 99 percent who work with as much cooperation as possible to provide the needs of everyone are the citizens who prove to the world we are a rich and blessed nation.Be careful listening to the

politicians who yell the loudest. Practice the kindness and the humility of Pope francis and like him always remember the poor. Then we will be the great nation we are destined to be.

Senate Education Finance Committee Passes Omnibus Bill

Late Thursday night the Senate Education finance committee p a s s e d the edu-c a t i o n f i n a n c e omnibus bill.The bill

invests a total of $15.6 bil-lion, with $ 3 5 6 m i l l i o n in new spending and $150 million in property tax relief.“We think it’s time, since the

funding mechanism has gotten out of whack, that we step in to fix it. We think this is the first step in doing that,” said Sen. Kevin Dahle. “We want to less-en the disparity. We want to take some of the burden off property taxpayers, and we want to make sure that even schools that can’t pass a levy are getting some dollars. I think those are some of the key things that are impor-tant in this bill and important to Minnesotans.”Dahle sponsored two key

reforms in the omnibus bill – GRAD assessments and teacher testing. The legislation removes the high-stakes GRAD test and

replaces it with a suite of tests designed to diagnose and help students at an earlier age and also reforms the Minnesota Teacher Licensure Exam basic skills test to ensure high-quality teachers are not being let go.“Research continues to point

us away from high-stakes test-ing and toward a multiple mea-sure system. One single test is not an accurate measure of an individual, be it a teacher or a student. These reforms will keep great teachers in the class-room and improve student per-formance.”Other key measures of the om-

nibus finance bill include:– All-day kindergarten, $130

million.– Basic funding formula in-

crease, $100 million– Early childhood education,

$44 million.– Special education invest-

ment, $9 million.“With the targeted investments

in education and the property tax relief for Minnesota fami-lies and businesses, this is a bill Minnesotans should be proud of. It aligns our entire education system, from pre-kindergarten to higher education, and will make Minnesota students col-lege and career ready.”

County Road Ditch Spraying

Sibley County will ONLY be spraying County road ditches for noxious weeds. The spray is applied directly to the noxious weeds.

Chemicals used: Tordon K, Transline, Escort, Milestone, Forefront and 2-4D.

Anyone wishing to NOT have a specific county road ditch sprayed should contact the Sibley County Public Works Office at 507-237-4092 before May 15, 2013 for a form.

The No Spray Request Form is available from the Office via: e-mail: [email protected]

or website: www.co.sibley.mn.us

Landowners/renters are required to flag the no spray zone with “Owner Will Maintain” flags provided by Sibley County Public Works. The use of these flags will aid Sibley County Public Works maintenance crews in identifying which areas landowners/renters do not want sprayed. Flags are available at the Public Works office in Gaylord and at all county highway garages in Arlington, Gaylord, Gibbon,

Green Isle, Henderson, Winthrop and at the Sibley County Gravel Pit.

By requesting that Sibley County does not spray your road ditch, landowners/renters agree to maintain the noxious weeds and brush in the specified road ditches in their entirety. When landowners/renters do not respond, we will assume it is acceptable to spray. The County may begin spraying on or after May 15, 2013.

• Offered to Sibley County residents on gravel surfaced public roads.

• Cost is $105.00 per 100 feet of treatment for 2 applications and must be paid in advance.

• Dust control has been effectively used by the County in the past. However, the County makes no guarantee as to the effectiveness of the material used or how long it will last.

• First application will be done approximately the first week of June. Residents need to accurately measure and flag the application area with orange flags on both ends at the edge of the road. Maintain these flags the 2 weeks before each application until completed. Flags are available at the Public Works office in Gaylord, all county highway garages in Arlington, Gaylord, Gibbon, Green Isle, Henderson, Winthrop and the County Gravel Pit.

• Applicants will not be notified of the application date unless you provide email address – or please call our office at 507-237-4092 or look for updates at www.co.sibley.mn.us .

Applications must be received by May 15, 2013. Sign up online by visitingwww.co.sibley.mn.us/public_works/dust_control.html, in person at the Sibley County Service Center Building or by mailing this sheet filled in with all the information below.

OLD LOG THEATER – Mahalia

Mahalia, the musical based on the life and career of legendary gospel singer, Mahalia Jackson, returns to the Old Log Theater, where it played to full houses and standing ovations 19 years ago. Written by resident Old Log actor, Tom Stolz, this moving, humorous musical traces the life and career of the world’s best-loved gospel singer. The granddaughter of plantation slaves, Mahalia Jackson was a humble woman whose expressive full-throated voice took her from her birth in a three-room shanty, to appearances before presidents and royalty. The joy and inspiration of her heartfelt song provided the musical counterpoint to the urgency of Martin Luther King’s message and the entire civil rights movement. Since its premiere at the Old Log Theater, Mahalia has had a very successful national tour to over 50 cities. Please specify a dinner choice: Smoked Pork Chop, Walleye Pike, Chicken, vegetarian Lasagna, or Beef Stroganoff. DATE: Thursday, May 9 TIME: Depart at 11am Return at 4:30 pm COST: $58.00 (includes

While it seems like we should be hearing about winter weather preparedness during this stretch of extremely cold and wet weather, this week is actually Severe Weather Awareness Week in Minnesota. For more than 25 years, Minnesota has conducted a Severe Weather Awareness Week in partnership with the National Weather Service and local governments. The informa-tion campaign is designed to teach and remind Minnesotans about weather hazards and provides resources to minimize the risks associated with severe weather. The main event of Severe Weather Awareness Week is the

annual statewide tornado drills. The drills are scheduled for Thursday, April 18 at 1:45 p.m. and 6:55 p.m. At those times, sirens and NOAA Weather Radios are will sound in a simulated tornado warning. The first drill is intended for institutions and businesses, while the evening drill is intended for second shift workers and especially families. All of our schools will be prac-ticing our tornado drill during the 1:45 p.m. drill.According to the National Weather Service, Minnesota experi-

ences an average of 40 tornadoes per year. In 2012, 37 twisters touched down. A record was set in 2010 with 104 tornadoes across the state. Understanding this threat and knowing what to do when a tornado is approaching can save lives.Take advantage of Severe Weather Awareness Week to review

your own and your family's emergency procedures and prepare for weather-related hazards.Each day of the week will focus on a different topic: Monday

- Alerts and Warnings; Tuesday - Severe Weather, Lightning and Hail; Wednesday – Floods & Flash Floods; Thursday – Tornadoes; and Friday – Extreme Heat. For information about each of these areas, please check out more information at https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/hsem.Congratulations to our students who recently competed in the

What’s Happening

Council(continued from page 1)

sign in place at 100 East Main Street.Paul Borchert of Canopy

Group, who was the only one to speak at last month’s public hearing, said the sign was in-stalled “to better define what Canopy Group is,” and asked the council to grant a variance.The city’s planning and zon-

ing commission, which also discussed the issue at length, had recommended denial of the variance, as did City At-torney Bob Vose, who told the council that the city ordinance does not allow projecting signs to advertise products. He added that this is a “use” rather than a “variance” request.But following a long discus-

sion by the council, Mayor Mike Pingalore and council members Cary Coop and Gary Trost voted against ordering the removal of the sign at this time, while Paul Chard and Scott Schneider voted in favor of the denial, placing the issue in a limbo state.After further discussion, the

council agreed to send the mat-ter back to planning and zon-ing for more options, includ-ing possibly amending the city ordinance to allow advertising of products on such signs, or to prepare a resolution determin-ing that the Canopy Group sign does not violate the product advertising portion of the city’s ordinance.The planning commission has

since been reviewing projected sign ordinances in other cities and will hold a public hearing of its own on the issue on May 13. The council will take up the commission’s recommendation

at its hearing on May 20.*For the second time this

year, the council tabled action on the adoption of an ordinance pertaining to accessory building and garage door heights. The first time came on Feb. 19 after the council could not come to a compromise on a proposal that would allow accessory build-ings to be the same height as the primary structure on a prop-erty.Over a month later (March

25), a joint planning meeting was held between the coun-cil and planning and zoning commission, during which a compromise was reached for a maximum height of 25 feet for accessory buildings and a maximum height of 12 feet for garage doors.The council was expected to

officially approve the ordinance Monday night but Council Member Gary Trost requested that the matter be tabled again because he did not receive in-formation regarding the issue that he was previously told he would get, including what other area cities’ policies are on ac-cessory building and garage door heights.“I was promised that informa-

tion and I did not get it,” Trost said.City Council Member Scott

Schneider, the council’s liai-son for the planning and zoning commission, said planning and zoning reviewed “at length” what other cities do, and that tabling the issue again will not change anything.Trost said he would still like to

see the information from other

cities before voting. Mayor Mike Pingalore said he had no problem with tabling the issue to allow Trost time to look over that information. Eventually, the rest of the council agreed and it will be back on the agen-da in May.*Unanimously awarded the

bid for the city’s 2013 seal coat project to Allied Blacktop Company for $77,579, well be-low the city engineer’s estimate of $90,080. The other two bids were from Pearson Brothers ($86,650) and Asphalt Surface Technologies ($106,118).*Unanimously awarded the

bid for the 2013 streambank and stabilization project (phase 2) to low bidder Selly Excavat-ing for $22,774. The engineer’s estimate was $29,994. The other six bids received ranged from Chard Tiling and Exca-vating ($23,442) to Blackstone Contractors ($39,613).The project is being conducted

in conjunction with the Scott Soil and Water Conservation District, which has indicated it will contribute $11,387 to-ward the cost. The purpose of the project is to stop the scour-ing that is occurring directly to the south of the streambed sta-bilization project that placed a concrete blanket in the stream-bed. If the erosion problem is not stopped, it will eventually compromise the city’s sanitary sewer line that extends through the ravine, according to the staff report. *Unanimously approved a

temporary 3.2 percent intoxi-cating liquor license for the Belle Plaine Softball Associa-tion for this year’s games and

tournaments at Prairie Park. The license will be in effect from May 1 to Sept. 1.*City Administrator David

Murphy reported that the inte-rior of the public library will be repainted and new carpet installed over the next two to three weeks. He added that the request for proposals for archi-tectural services for the pro-posed expansion of the library will go out early next week.Murphy also reported that

four individuals have expressed interest in becoming part of the committee to work for an ar-chery range in the community. The city’s park board will ad-dress the proposal at its April 22 meeting.The next regular meeting of

the Belle Plaine City Coun-cil is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 6 in the City Hall building at 218 North Meridian Street downtown.

Few Speak at Property Valuation

Public HearingOnly three residents spoke at

Monday’s annual property val-uation public hearing that was held prior to the city council meeting. All three individuals said they believe the valuations of their properties are excessive and will appeal them. Two writ-ten appeals were also received.Present at the meeting were

Scott County assessors Carrie Borgheiinck and Chad Bohn-sack, who will review all of the appeals and report back to the council with their findings on April 29.

Spring Sports(continued from page 15)

gers had already played seven games.“This has been a crazy spring.

The kids have been great at stay-ing focused and trying to get the most out of the time in the gym. We have tried to keep the prac-tices shorter and sharper inside. We have tried to really place emphasis on the fundamentals inside and have mixed in a lot of live pitching and hitting in the cage to hopefully keep the guys ready. There is only so much you can do inside so we are not trying to keep the kids at practice forever.“We were fortunate to have

the florida trip in week two to break up the indoor practices, but having that week outside makes the last several weeks inside that much more frustrat-ing,” Schultz continued. “The biggest issue has been trying to get all the levels (7, 8, C, B and varsity) enough practice time but that has been difficult to do without being able to go out-side or use other gyms and the hallways for drills as much as in the past due to all the sports being inside.”Schultz said 2001, when he

was a player for the Tigers, is the last year he recalls that any-thing like this occurred.“We had to cancel a lot of

games due to a cold and rainy spring. We ended up only play-ing a seven-game conference season that year. We are hoping to avoid anything that extreme this year.”Softball coach Jeremy Kalal

is in the same situation.“It’s been tough this spring,

especially coming off of last year, when we had probably the best spring weather we’ll ever see. Now, we’re looking at the worst spring weather we’ll see for a long time. We’ve been fortunate to get a game in down in Blue Earth – we are the only conference team to play so far – and we also had two different days in the Eden Prairie dome, which has helped us prepare. “Everyone is in the same situ-

ation, and with our condensed schedule, when we finally get to play, it is going to come down to the team that can play the best all-around softball,” Kalal continued. “If we move to all doubleheaders, we have shown we can play great defense and score runs, so I like our chanc-es. The girls have been doing a good job in the gym staying motivated and upbeat for the most part. It’s definitely not easy when you look at the fore-cast, but I’m confident we’ll be ready to go once we actually get started.”Belle Plaine track and field

coaches Rich Foust (girls) and Adam Smith (boys) have had two opportunities to see their athletes in actual competition, but they would like to see a lot more before the big meets (true team and conference) come around.“Twice before (23 years coach-

ing) we have shoveled off the track to get the first meet in, but during those years there were no setbacks,” Foust said. “Once

the track was cleared, it stayed cleared. We’ve had days in years past where it has snowed later in the season and been cold, but it was short-lived, the snow melts by the next day and it warms back up.“As far as motivation - we try

to do some different things in practice (dodgeball, fruit game, team bonding), but as far as workouts and working on the field events, you can only do so much inside,” foust continued. “So far, two of our meets have been postponed and we have no room for more makeups – any-more meet postponements and we will lose those. We really need these early-season meets to get a good look at every-one and to practice and perfect handoffs in the relays.”Things haven’t been any easier

for the boys’ track team, which generally competes at the same time and facility as the girls.“As a coach I haven’t experi-

enced this much bad weather and postponements,” Smith said. “Generally, if the track is clear, we will hold competi-tions. unfortunately, the track was only clear for a short time, and has now been covered by snow again.“This past week we have

been trying to keep things light at practice,” Smith con-tinued. “We’ve played some team building games and some competitive games, along with mixing in hard workouts, so we don’t lose everything we’ve worked so hard for up to this point. We have also talked about how easy it is to lose fo-cus when the weather seems to be working against us, and we are stuck inside. But by push-ing ourselves and pushing our teammates during the workouts, we will be able to keep our eyes on the prize. The weather isn’t just poor for us, all the teams in the conference and state are go-ing through the same thing. We have to take advantage of the workouts we do get and keep getting better.”

Ryan Dungey Wins at DomeRyan Dungey of Belle Plaine

won AMA Supercross’ return to Minnesota Saturday night, beating Ryan Villopoto. It was Dungey’s second win of the season.Dungey, the Red Bull KTM

rider, took the lead from Vil-lopoto on the 16th lap in the 20-lap 450SX race in front of a crowd of 48,846 in the first event at the Metrodome since 2008. Villopoto’s five-race win-ning streak was ended at five.“Man, what a ride,” said

Dungey, who finished second at the last Monster Energy Su-percross race in Minneapolis. “Ryan [Villopoto] and I put on a hard charge and he kept me honest the whole way. It’s been a while since I’ve been on top of box, but, man, in front of all these fans it was amazing. We could hear them out there. It was pretty loud and I’ve nev-

by Dan RuudThere’s not many sports worst

to be stuck indoors practicing for than golf – no bunkers, no greens, no fairways, no trees, no sky.Those are what the Belle

Plaine High School boys’ and girls’ golf teams have been without since they began prac-ticing for the 2013 season sev-eral weeks ago.Like many other spring sports

teams across the state, the Belle Plaine boys’ and girls’ squads are late to start the season.Both teams were scheduled

to open against Mankato East at Valley View Golf Course on April 11. The meet was postponed to a date to be de-termined. A conference girls’ seasonal meet at Le Sueur-Hen-derson this past Monday was also postponed, while the boys’ scheduled meet at Waseca (also this past Monday) was can-celled. Another girls’ seasonal conference meet is still on the slate but very much in doubt for this friday and Saturday at Jor-dan. Next Monday’s scheduled MRC seasonal meet at Glencoe has also been postponed.The earliest the Belle Plaine

boys can get the season started is next Tuesday in a seasonal conference meet at Timber Creek Golf Course in Water-town.And just who will be playing

varsity when the season does get started is still not entirely

clear.“It’s been a tough year so far

with not being able to get out-side,” said Tigers boys’ and girls’ coach Jerald Stauffacher. “It makes it tough to figure out who can score and knows the game. We have been to the range a couple of times but only able to hit short irons. This snow is not helping things any.“Practicing inside for golf is

limited – we have spent time working on putting and the rules but are ready to get out-side,” Stauffacher continued. “Keeping the kids motivated is not a concern as they want to get out and play. My biggest fear is we have some players that are new to the game of golf and I want to be able to have them play a few practice rounds before they have to step in and play a varsity meet. We have 20 girls out for golf and probably eight to 10 of them will playoff for three spots.”“On the boys side, we have

nine juniors and 19 total play-ers, so we have many fighting for probably four spots. Plain and simple, we need to get outside and need some warm weather,” Stauffacher contin-ued.

Girls’ OutlookFor the first time in a number

of years, the Belle Plaine girls’ team will be without Becky Ko-epp, a four-time state qualifier, including last year when she

placed seventh in the Class 2A field of 88 golfers. She is con-tinuing her golf career at South-west Minnesota State Universi-ty in Marshall this spring.The Tigers have three play-

ers returning from varsity last season – juniors Hannah John-son and Lexi Stauffacher and eighth-grader Ireland Lambre-cht.“The 20 girls we have out for

golf this year is a huge jump from the seven we had out the last two years,” Stauffacher said. “Now we are waiting for some warm weather so we can get out on the course and prac-tice. I think this group will be in the hunt to win the conference title. We have three solid play-ers back and have good num-bers to work with to find out that one more score we need to help us win.”

Boys’ OutlookThe Belle Plaine boys will also

be without their top golfer from last season as section qualifier JP Bergs graduated. However, Stauffacher said a number of players with varsity experience are back. Among them are ju-niors Zander Stier, Dustin Leis-tiko, Sam Karl, Jake Hartmann, Ricky fogarty, Jacob Giesen and Casey Ekstrom.“This bunch of boys, with

some help from younger play-ers, should make a strong push at finishing in the top four in the conference,” Stauffacher said.

Tee Time for H.S. Golf Still Up in the Air

by Dan RuudSome sports were just meant

to be played (and practiced) in the great outdoors, especially Minnesota’s spring sports, in-cluding baseball, softball, golf and track.It’s not uncommon for Moth-

er Nature in early spring to be stubborn when it comes letting go with winter, which often forces spring sports schedules to play give and take with the weather. Seldom do spring sports schedules go unscathed, especially in April.But so far this year, it’s been

a ridiculously one-sided fight being won by perhaps Minne-sota’s slowest ever winter to spring transition.In fact, as of today (Wednes-

day), only three of Belle Plaine High School’s nearly two dozen scheduled varsity spring sports games and meets have been played. One of those played was the Minnesota River Con-ference Indoor Track and field Meet in Mankato (key word indoor) on March 23. The first scheduled outdoor track meet (boys and girls) was held as scheduled on April 4 in Belle Plaine, but of the Tigers’ next three meets, two have been postponed and the other can-celled.As for golf, two of the Belle

Plaine boys’ first three meets have been postponed and the other cancelled. The girls’ first two meets have been post-poned.“I have coached the golf teams

now for three years,” said Jer-ald Stauffacher. “Last year we got spoiled because we were able to get on the course the first day of practice. My first year we had to wait until spring break. But this is just crazy. We

have a tournament this upcom-ing weekend but I don’t foresee us playing in that. The extended forecast is not much warmer then it is right now.” Tigers baseball coach Pat

Schultz and his team are still in search of their first game. On April 14 last year, the Ti-

With a prolonged winter as a backdrop, some members of the BPHS girls’ track and field team ran outdoors Monday. Pictured above are Kaisa Hallgren, left, and Danika Schroeder. Back in the gym (below), members of the boys’ track and field team performed an exercise that can be done just as effectively indoors as it can outdoors – stretching.

Ryan Dungey raised a hand in victory as he crossed the finish line Saturday night.

Belle Plaine freshman Wally Schultz took a swing in the bat-ting cage during practice Monday in the school’s north gym.

Members of the Belle Plaine High School speech team bound for the state meet include (from left) Erin Winters, Jake Hartmann, Alec Lorenz and Mitchell Farmer-Lies. The state competi-tion is Saturday in Blaine.

Belle Plaine Students Bound for State Speech CompetitionFour Belle Plaine students

earned berths in the state speech competition Saturday (April 20) in Blaine.At the sectional competition

last Tuesday (April 9) at Oak Crest Elementary School, the four – Erin Winters, Jake Hart-man, Alec Lorenz and Mitchell Farmer-Lies – advanced with top-three finishes in their re-spective categories. Several

other Belle Plaine participants just missed the state field, said Peter Jacobson, one of the team’s co-coaches.Just over 180 speakers from

14 schools in Section 4A com-peted to advance to the state competition. In serious prose, Winters fin-

ished second and Hartman third to advance to state. Cassidy Pumper finished fifth.

In serious drama, Mikhayla Clausen took fourth.In humorous, Nick Johnson

took fourth.In extemporaneous read-

ing, Jennifer He also finished fourth.In storytelling, Lorenz punched

his ticket to state with a third-place finish. In discussion, Farmer-Lies finished third.

Southern Valley Alliance Spring Fund-raiser Tops Last YearA different venue didn’t

change the good fortune the Southern Valley Alliance for Battered Women enjoyed dur-ing its annual benefit.The Belle Plaine-based alli-

ance raised just over $85,000 -- including supplemental funds from Thrivent Financial -- at its annual dinner and silent/live auction at Mystic Lake Casino Hotel. Over 180 people at-tended the benefit, said Mary Ann Bigaouette, the alliance’s executive director.A year ago at OK Corral, the

alliance raised about $83,000 for general operations related to helping SVABW assist victims of domestic abuse.Two donations of $25,000

each had the benefit off to a sol-id start. The live auction gener-ated over $10,000 in donations. One of the highlights of the benefit was a basket created in memory of Gary Bigaouette, Mary Ann’s late husband. He passed away April 1.Mary Ann and Gary Bigaou-

ette’s daughter, Tonia Siehndel, created the basket. It was filled

with symbols of items Gary cherished – a model John Deere tractor, Minnesota Twins tickets and a blanket, a fishing pole, tackle box and lures and an American flag – generated a $2,000 donations in memory of Gary Bigaouette.“He’d be very happy and very

humbled,” Mary Ann said.The change of venue to the

spacious grand ballroom Mys-tic Lake Casino Hotel was a popular move, Bigaouette said. The group plans to return to its for next year’s spring benefit.

High IslandRodeo Draws Nice Crowds

Dozens of contestants from the area and region gave it their all in a variety of events at the annual High Island Rodeo Friday and Saturday nights at High Island Arena near Henderson.

Barrel races tested the speed of horses and the skill of riders.

Tony Schneider of Tomah, Wis., hit his target during the tie down competition.

A bull rider held on tight hoping to complete an eight-second ride.

Mutton bustin’ had young riders holding on to sheep before being dumped to the arena floor.

Lunch Hour CrashTwo Belle Plaine girls suffered minor injuries in a lunch-hour crash on South Chestnut Street last Wednesday. The girls were riding in a car heading south on Chestnut Street, just south of East Main Street, when a vehicle heading east came out of the alley on the 100 block of South Chestnut Street and hit the southbound car, said Belle Plaine Police Chief Tom Stolee. The man driving the east-bound vehicle, a small SUV, was not injured in the crash. The impact knocked a tire off the passenger car the girls were in. The man was cited for failing to yield the right of way as he came out of the alley, Stolee said.
