Wick (continued on page 18)
Belle Plaine Seventh Grade Football Coach Ken Wick got the chance to thank some of the people who helped save his life after he collapsed with a cardiac ailment during football prac-tice Sept. 11. The co-workers and emergency responders who rushed to his side include (from left) assistant football coach Joe Ploetz, Belle Plaine Police Offi cer Ben Pederson, football coach Jerold Stauffacher, B.P. Police Chief Tom Stolee, patrol
offi cer Matt Brandt, Ridgeview Ambulance Emergency Medi-cal Technician Karen Niesche, fi refi ghters Todd Otto, Travis Otto, Tyler Koonst and fi re chief Randy Koepp. Several other EMTs and fi refi ghters also assisted with the call for help when Wick collapsed. He returned to work at school on a part-time basis last week.
Happy to Be Back to Work, Wick Knows He Beat the Odds
by John MuellerLittle things don’t bother Ken
Wick like they used one did. Kids horsing around outside his offi ce at Belle Plaine Junior-Se-nior High School, a computer
network malfunctioning, slow traffi c on his drive home. He’s just enjoying life in a new way.The doctors say the odds of
him surviving the cardiac mal-function he suffered during football practice the afternoon of Sept. 11 are about 4 percent. Ken Wick knows he’s lucky to be alive.Unlike a heart attack – which
hits people suffering heart dis-ease – Wick had no symptoms, no personal history of heart disease. His workout regimen includes 15 miles of running a
week as well as three days in the weight room.Wick returned to work the
Belle Plaine School District’s director of information technol-ogy (IT) last week. He’s only al-lowed to work mornings and is slowly regaining his strength.Monday, a group of police of-
fi cers, fi refi ghters, members of the Ridgeview Medical Center ambulance crew and the other football coaches gathered with him for a photo and a chance to receive his thanks.“If ever there is anything I can
ever do for you . . .,” Wick told the group.A man of strong faith, Wick of-
fered a prayer for the emergen-cy responders and coaches and the work they do. He thanked God for their dedication and commitment to helping people in need. Wick believes God has a plan for people and his plan for the police offi cers, fi refi ght-ers, paramedics and fellow coaches Sept. 11 included sav-ing his life.“I’m very lucky,” he said last
Friday, sitting in his offi ce. “Very lucky.”He thinks about a song Jason
B.P. Coach Thankful to Those Who Helped Save His Life
Gray sings, “Good to be Alive.” Its contemporary Christian lyr-ics speak of life as a gift and living life for God. The song was on his iPod playlist and he listened to it occasionally while running.“It really became my favorite
song after Sept. 11,” Wick said.Wick owes his life to many
people, including his fellow coaches – John Wellner, Jerold
Final Assessment Hearing for 2012 Street Work Next Monday
The Belle Plaine City Council will hold the fi nal assessment public hearing for this year’s street improvement project next Monday. It will begin shortly after 6 p.m. at the Belle Plaine Government Center, 218 North Meridian Street downtown. The area to be assessed for this
year’s project includes:– North Elm Street between
Church Street and Spring Street.
– Court Street from Meridian Street to Walnut Street.– Chestnut Street north of
Court Street.– Ravine repair at the end of
Chestnut Street.The total amount proposed to
be assessed for this year’s proj-ect is $547,433, for which ben-efi tting property owners will pay back in annual installments over a period of seven years.
Ready for the RaceWorkers from S.M. Hentges & Sons of Jordan will have the new bridge along Scott County Road 6/Union Trail (the Blakeley road) ready for the hundreds of runners in the Scenic Byway Half-Marathon Saturday. Scott County removed old culverts prone to wash-outs and replaced them with a bridge along the roadway. Across the river, construction on Sibley County Road 6/Scenic Byway began last week and runners will have to navigate their way around the con-struction area just west of Highway 25.
Nature has done its job by pro-viding the fall backdrop along the scenic byway on both sides of the Minnesota River in Belle Plaine.On Saturday, hundreds of run-
ners clad in colorful running attire will blend in with all the fall color as the second annual Minnesota River Valley Scenic Byway Half-Marathon, 5K and Kids races will take place.According to Carrie Traxler
of the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce, as of Monday morning there were 199 run-ners registered for the 5K and 187 for the half-marathon.Last year’s inaugural races at-
tracted some 500 runners, about 20 percent of whom registered on race day.The half-marathon will start
at 9 a.m., the 5K at 9:20 a.m. and the Kids Run at 11:30 a.m. Award ceremonies will follow each race.Both the half-marathon and
5K courses are USATF certifi ed and chip-timed.Last Friday was the last day
to register for the races at dis-counted prices. Race-day regis-tration, which will open at 7:30 a.m. at Court Square Park, will be $55 for the half-marathon and $35 for the 5K. The Kids Run will remain $7.The 5K race will have a new
route that will wind through Belle Plaine. The half-mara-thon route will once again be run along the fall foliage of the Scenic Byway, including cross-ing the Minnesota River bridges in Belle Plaine and Blakeley. Both races will begin and
end at Court Square Park (race headquarters) in Belle Plaine.Also at the park on Saturday
will be a craft fair, concessions,
bounce house and Lollipop the Clown. At the Vets Club down-town there will be a freewill pancake breakfast.If the extended forecast holds
out, temperatures at race time will be in the mid-40s to lower-50s. Saturday’s forecast calls for a high of 60 degrees and a chance of rain.The chamber of commerce
is still in need of volunteers to help operate the races. Call 952-873-4295 if you can help out.
Spaghetti Dinner at Oak Crest Friday
The Belle Plaine High School cross country team, in conjunc-tion with the Scenic Byway races, will host a spaghetti din-ner from 4-7 p.m. Friday at Oak Crest Elementary School (not Chatfi eld as reported last week).The dinner is a freewill dona-
tion and $4 to $7 would be ap-preciated. Preregistered runners will be able to pickup their race packets at the dinner, which is open to the public. There will also be registration for Satur-day’s Kids Run at this time. Proceeds from the dinner will go to the BPHS cross country program.
Sneaker Donations Sought
The Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce is teaming with GreenSneakers, a non-profi t organization that recycles ten-nis shoes to provide afford-able footwear to people in need around the world. Runners and spectators this Saturday are en-couraged to bring sneakers to donate to this cause.
Scenic Byway Races Saturday
Practice Fires, Real ExperienceAfter several days of squelching practice fi res at Marion and Larry Entinger’s old house at 8025 Union Hill Boulevard, Belle Plaine fi refi ghters burned down the house Saturday morn-ing. The practice fi res give fi refi ghters real experience in an actual house compared to a simu-lated structure. It also makes removing the house easier and less expensive for the property owner.

Former Area State Lawmaker, K.J. McDonald, Passes Away
A colorful character in the his-tory of the Minnesota Legisla-ture and area politics, former Rep. K.J. McDonald passed away last Thursday evening af-ter a yearlong battle with can-cer. He was 81.A fiery orator and staunch
Republican, Kenneth James McDonald served in the pri-marily DFL-controlled Minne-sota House of Representatives from 1977 through 1991. He was known for working with DFLers on issues during a time when collaboration between the two parties was more likely than today.He represented House District
36A from 1977 to 1982 and House District 35B from 1983 to 1991. Both districts included southern carver county near Belle Plaine.“Carver County was filled
with German Lutherans and he was an Irish catholic,” said Rep. Joe McDonald, K.J.’s son. The younger McDonald was elected in 2010 to represent the area adjacent to his father’s
former district. “He must have done something right to keep getting re-elected.”K.J. McDonald most closely
served on veterans’ affairs, ag-ricultural. His son said he was particularly proud of legislation he supported that helped family farms.After leaving the Legislature,
he returned to his hometown and won election to the Water-town city council. He served as the city’s mayor until his passing.McDonald was diagnosed with
stage four metastatic melanoma late last year after a tumor was discovered near the right side of his brain. He had surgery to remove the cancerous tumor in December, but continued to re-ceive treatment to fight the can-cer until recently.Born in 1929 on a farm just
outside Watertown, McDon-ald was an active community servant for much of his life. A lifelong champion of his home-town, he saw the value in con-
trolled, thoughtful growth at a time when some wanted to the community to remain small and once told a reporter, “If we do not grow, we will perish.”After serving his country in
the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War, McDonald served his community and state. He was elected Watertown’s mayor in 1976-77 before being elected to the Minnesota House of Rep-resentatives in 1977. He served seven terms in the Minnesota House.Most recently, McDonald re-
turned to the mayor’s chair in 2005, when, as a city council member, he was appointed to replace the mayor when his Na-tional Guard unit was deployed. McDonald was then elected as Watertown’s mayor for three terms. McDonald announced in August that he would not seek re-election in November due to his health.

Encounter at Birch CouleeLast week we re-
ported one version of the Battle of Birch Coulee where the US troops suffered the heaviest military casualties of the Da-kota Indian war.This week we are
printing the account of the event by Capt. Hirem P. Grant.
By J. E. Townsendfrom capt. Grant’s account of
this desperate engagement, fur-nished by request, I quote the following interesting narrative:
“Sunday morning, August 31, at fort Ridgely, Minn., I was ordered to report in person to col. William crooks, com-manding my regiment; I report-ed, and received the following orders: To take command of an expeditionary force, consisting of company A, Sixth Minne-sota Volunteer Infantry, capt. Joseph Anderson’s company of mounted Rangers and a de-tail of 20 men, as a burial party, making the aggregate 150 men, and proceed at once to make a reconnaissance toward the low-er agency, bury the dead and afford relief to any who might have escaped the Indians. I was also ordered to see that each man had forty rounds of ammu-nition and two days’ rations; the ordinance officer was ordered to turn over to me 3,000 rounds of extra ammunition, and the quartermaster what transpor-tation we might need. A care-ful detailed route was given, both col. crooks and myself believing that the march could be made and all details carried out and that we could return to fort Ridgely on the evening of September 1st. I was further told that a few citizens, whose families or friends had been killed, were desirous of going along with the expedition, and I was requested to permit them to do so.“Among the anxious ones
col. crooks mentioned Maj. J. R. Brown, who feared his family had been killed, and col. crooks told me that Maj. Brown was well posted in In-dian signs, character, etc., and if circumstances should arise so that I wanted advice, to consult the major.About 9:30 a.m., the detail
and capt. Anderson having re-ported, we marched out of fort Ridgely, taking the usual road the prairie to the ferry at lower agency, distant about twelve miles. On the way to the ferry we buried several dead bod-ies, among whom I recognized Bill Taylor, a colored citizen of St. Paul, whom all old settlers will remember. At the ferry we found the bodies of about twen-ty soldiers of capt. Marsh’s command, who were killed the first day of the massacre while attempting to cross the ferry to lower agency; we also found here the body of united States interpreter Quinn. While engaged in burying the dead around the ferry, I sent a part of the command across the river to the agency to reconnoiter and to bury the dead there, with orders to return when their work was accomplished, and to follow me to camp.“After leaving the ferry I
moved the command up the east side of the river about five miles and went into camp; was soon joined by capt. Anderson. The usual picket guard was de-tailed, and at 9 p.m. those not on duty were in the tents, lights out, etc. No alarm occurred during the night. At daylight the camp was aroused to pre-pare breakfast.“As soon as everything was
ready I again divided my com-mand, sending capt. Anderson with his mounted rangers back to cross the river, go up the west side through Little crow’s vil-lage, and to go toward Yellow Medicine to see if any Indians were below there. With my command I followed up the val-ley toward Beaver creek, occa-sionally halting to bury whole families, men, women and chil-dren, who had been overtaken by Indians and massacred.“About 10 a.m., while riding
at the head of my command, I saw what I thought to be an In-dian drop in the grass about one mile toward the Minnesota riv-
er. I halted the command, sent a force of 20 men to surround what I had seen; to capture if white, but to kill the Indian. When they had closed in on the spot they found a woman who, thirteen days before, had seen her husband and three children killed. She had been told to run, and when she was three or four rods off one of the Indians fired at her and put nine buck-shot into her back. Then they had cut her clothes off her, and while doing so, they cut a gash about four inches long over her stomach and left her for dead on the field. When she came to her senses and realized they loss of her family, her brain gave away, and she had wan-dered unconscious for twelve days, subsisting, probably, on roots and water. Discovering her condition, I rode forward with a soldier’s blanket, and wrapped it around her, carried her to one of the wagons and made her a grass bed. Other sol-diers kindly gave her their only blanket. Dr. Daniels dressed her wounds and made her as com-fortable as possible. After an hour’s delay we went to Beaver creek, where we found some thirty bodies and buried them; then we went some three miles beyond, left the valley and climbed the hills to the right, up to the open prairie, where we struck a trail that led us by the burned houses of caruthers and Henderson. We found the body of caruther’s son to the right of the road about one mile from home; also found what re-mained of Mrs. Henderson and her babe.Mrs. Henderson be-ing sick, they, learning that the Indians were massacring the settlers, fixed a bed in a wagon and started to escape. They were overtaken and killed, the featherbed having been pulled out of the wagon, set on fire and the bodies of mother and babe about half consumed.“We now realized that our
delays made it impossible to reach fort Ridgely that night, as we were then about 22 miles from the fort and six miles from Birch coulee, the nearest place to get water. I now marched direct to the coulee along the road where it is open prairie for several miles each side. I rode forward and selected my camp about forty rods north of the woods and about the same dis-tance west of the coulee. About the same distance west of the camp was a meadow; north of the camp it was an open prairie for miles.“When the teams came up I
had them placed in a circle and ropes stretched from wagon to wagon to picket horses to. Our tents were put up inside this cir-cle, my company on the north, capt. Anderson’s on the south side of the camp.“About sundown capt. An-
derson came in, having ridden about 40 miles. He reported they had been well up toward Yellow Medicine, came back, crossed the Minnesota seven miles further up than I had been, and that they had seen no Indians, but signs indicated the redskins had gone north four days before. Maj. Brown had been with capt. Anderson dur-ing the day.“from all reports I did not
think there were any Indians within twenty miles of us; how-ever, I detailed 30 men, besides non-commissioned officers and an officer of the guard, and es-tablished ten picket posts at equal distances apart around the camp, with three men at each post.“Soon the camp was quiet. The
tired men were glad to get re-pose and rest. All went well un-til just before daylight. Private William Hart discovered what he thought was a dog or wolf crawling between his post and camp. He fired, and it proved to be an Indian. Other Indians raised themselves enough to be seen. Several of the guard fired. The Indians gave their war whoop and rushed toward camp. The guards came rushing
back into camp. The Indians did not fire until within eight or ten rods of the camp, intending to make a sure thing of us by shooting us down as we came out of our tents.“My company came out of
their tents and started to form in line. I gave the order to break to right and left, get behind the wagons and commence firing. Our horses had received most of the bullets up to this time and as they fell our men threw themselves behind them. At the order to break and commence firing, the brave and fearless Lieut. Gillham sang out, ‘fol-low me, boys!’ and some thirty men sprang with him to defend the east side of the camp. Lieut. Baldwin took charge of about the same number at the north-east of the camp. With the re-mainder of my company I took charge of the northwest and west, capt. Anderson taking he south. After one hour’s fight-ing we had driven the Indians all back to at least long range, but it had been at fearful cost. Already twenty-two of our men were dead or mortally wound-ed. Sixty more had received serious or slight wounds. One-half of our whole force was killed or wounded. Eighty-five horses were dead, leaving only two alive. One of the two hors-es that had been injured was my own faithful horse. I went up to him, slipped the halter off, and he went about three rods from camp. During the day he fed altogether around the camp, and about sundown he walked inside of the camp and placed himself where he had stood the night before, turned his head and neighed. I went up to him to put his halter on, when some of the boys shouted, ‘Down, captain!’ Horse and myself fell together; he with seven bullets in him, I unhurt.“As soon as we had forced the
Indians back I put every man I could spare digging and throw-ing up breastworks. We had nothing but our bayonets to dig with, but by noon we had our-selves pretty well intrenched, using our dead soldiers and horses to help our breastworks.“The Indians were lying in the
grass watching for someone to show himself; our men were watching for an Indian. About this time the men commenced to say, ‘This is my last cartridge.’ I then had the 3,000 extra ones brought from the wagon and commenced distributing them, when we discovered the ordi-nance officer had given us 62 caliber for 58 caliber rifles.“Immediately I put the men to
work whittling down the balls to the size of our rifles, and now gave orders not to fire except when necessary, a precaution taken none too soon, as when relieved the next day we did not have over five rounds to the man left.“In the early morning of Sep-
tember 2nd, Gen. Sibley, at Ridgely, hearing the firing at our camp, although sixteen miles away, promptly ordered col. McPhaill to take three compa-nies of the Sixth Infantry, three companies of his mounted men, in all 240 men, together with a section (two guns) of capt. Hendrick’s battery, to make a forced march to our relief.“At our camp all was quiet;
occasionally a stray bullet came into camp. At four o’clock, however, we saw quite a com-motion among the Indians. There appeared to be large num-bers of them crossing the cou-lee east. In a few moments our hearts felt glad, for McPhaill’s command hove in sight about two miles across the coulee. I gave orders to fire a few shots to let them know we were still alive. The Indians fired perhaps twenty shots long range toward McPhaill’s command, when that officer retired to the east side of the coulee and encamp-ed. He sent two messengers to Gen. Sibley with the informa-tion that he had met the Indians, and that they were too many for him, and reinforcements were asked for. Everything was quiet in our camp until about 2 a.m., when the Indians made a show to take our camp. A few volleys from our watchful men quieted them. During the night the Indi-ans had been reinforced by 500 warriors.“On September 3rd, the day-
light and sunrise were most beautiful but we discovered large bodies of Indians south-west and north of us, circling around and closing up nearer to us, when an Indian (prob-ably Little crow’s brother) came riding directly toward us on a white horse, waving a
Joseph Edward Townsend
white flag. He rode to within 20 rods, stopped, and held a con-versation with my interpreter, corp. James Auge of Mendota. He said the Indians had been largely reinforced during the night, that they were now as many as the leaves on the trees; that we stood no show to resist them any longer; that they were going to charge the camp and should take no prisoners, but if half-breeds and all of those who had Indian blood in them would march out and give themselves up, they would be protected.“Those with us who had any
Indian blood gathered around the interpreter, some eight or ten. I asked them what they were going to do. corp. Auge, with some hesitation, answered for them; ‘We are going to stay with you, captain.’“I then told Auge to tell them
that they did not have Indians enough to take our camp; that we were still 200 men; that each had two rifles loaded, and all the Indians that wanted to die should come at once; that we denied them. (It was only a small exaggeration in regard to numbers, as we really had but about 65 men who had not been killed or wounded.) I instructed the interpreter to tell them to get out of the way, that we could not respect a flag of truce for any such offer as he had made, and to go at once. He turned his horse and rode slowly to-ward the meadow. I then gave the order to fire. About 20 shots were fired at him. We killed his horse, but he got off safely.“Then there was great excite-
ment among the Indians, who all the while were circling clos-er and closer around us, myself and officers of the command telling our soldiers to hold their fire, lay low until the Indians were close upon us, and then to take good aim and fire and seize the other gun and repeat. We assured the men they could not take camp, and I think most of the men believed us.“We now expected a general
attack, and while almost holding our breath, expecting every mo-ment to hear their war whoop, we discovered a large power-ful Indian come up out of the woods, yelling at the top of his lungs. I asked Interpreter Auge what he said; he replied that he told the Indians that there were three miles of white men com-ing. This made our hearts beat with joy, for we knew that some one besides col. McPhaill was coming to our relief.“When McPhaill’s courier
reached fort Ridgely, Gen. Sib-ley immediately ordered col. crooks with the remainder of the regiment and col. Wm. R. Marshall, who had arrived that day with his regiment, to start at once to our support. At day-break, the relief, marching by flank, was seen by this Indian, and accordingly he hastened to report that three miles of white men were coming.“We now saw that the attack
on our camp had been aban-doned, that the great body of Indians was crossing the cou-lee towards where Gen. Sibley was coming. About this time the command came in sight, halted about the same place where McPhaill retreated from the day before, and after a few minutes resumed their march, moved further up the coulee, crossed over and relieved us, without loss of another life.“The sight that met our res-
cuers - the 87 dead horses, 22 dead soldiers, the poor woman who lay in the wagon 48 hours without food or water (the wag-on had been struck with more than 50 bullets, and she had been shot again) the 60 wound-ed soldiers who had been nearly 48 hours without food, water or sleep, the seriously wounded, with parched throats, crying for water, the stench from the dead horses that were already burst-ing open, was a scene long to be remembered.“The wounded were gath-
ered up, placed in wagons, and the command started for fort Ridgely, where we arrived about 8 o’clock that evening.“So many years have passed
that, should I attempt to recall the names of those who con-tributed most of the defense of our camp, I might do in jus-tice. Suffice to say, all did well, and a few such men as capt. Anderson, Lieut. Swan, Lieut. Gillham, Sergt. Barnes, Sergt. Gardner, corp. Auge, Hon. James J. Egan of the Rangers, and David Redfield, a citizen, by their courage and bravery, helped others to be brave and courageous. All did well.“After a night’s sleep at fort
Ridgely I made my report of this expedition, and when it was ready took it personally to my commanding officer. It was then handed back to me and I was cooly informed that I should make my report to Maj. Jos. R. Brown, who was in command of the expedition. This was the first I had heard of it. We had been gone four days, two of which we had been en-gaged in deadly fight; no order had been given me by Maj. Brown, not an intimation that he considered himself in com-mand. To say that I was angry, when told to make my report to him, would only express half what I felt. I then and there destroyed my report and never made another. If any blame rests on any one, for selection of camps, or in carrying out any of the details of the expedition, it rests upon me. All officers, soldiers and citizens obeyed my orders. I had the full charge.”col. Sibley could not follow
the Indians from Birch coulee without mounted troops with sufficient rapidity to overtake them. He opened a communi-cation with the Indians, who moved rapidly up to Yellow Medicine by means of scouts and friendly Sioux. It was nec-essary to use great care, on ac-count of the captive women and children in the hands of the hostiles.A few official dispatches of
this period show the situation better than it can be otherwise described.
* * *St. Paul, Minn.
Aug. 21, 1862 - 4 p.m.Hon. E. M. Stanton,Secretary of War:The Sioux Indians on our
western border have risen and are murdering men, women and children. I have ordered a party of men out, under col. H. H. Sibley, and have given the com-mand of the Sixth Regiment, also ordered out, to capt. A. D. Nelson, u. S. Army. I must have Nelson. Telegraph at once.

E. M. Stanton:The Indian war is still pro-
gressing. I have sent up the Sixth Regiment and called out 1,000 horsemen. The panic among the people has depopu-lated whole counties, and in view of this I ask that there be one month added to the several dates of your previous orders for volunteers, draft, etc. 22nd of August by 22nd of Septem-
ber; 1st of September be 1st of October. In view of the distract-ed condition of the country this is absolutely necessary. I have full knowledge of all the facts, and I urge a concurrence in this request.
Wm. P. Dole,commissioner Indian Affairs.
St. Paul, Minn. Aug. 26, 1862 - 10 p.m.
President Lincoln:With the concurrence of com-
missioner Dole I have tele-graphed the secretary of war for an extension of one month of drafting, etc. The Indian outbreak has come upon us suddenly. Half the population of the state are fugitives. It is absolutely impossible that we should proceed. The secretary of war denies our request. I appeal to you, and ask for an immediate answer. No one not here can conceive the panic in the state.

Governor Ramsey,St. Paul, Minn.
Yours received. Attend to the Indians. If the draft cannot pro-ceed, of course it will not pro-ceed. Necessity knows no law. The Government cannot extend the time.

col. Sibley’s command re-mained at fort Ridgely until September 19th. On the 7th of September the Department of the Northwest was created, in-cluding the states of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, the territo-ries of Nebraska and Dakota, with the troops raised and to be raised in that department. Major General John Pope was placed in command, with his headquarters for the time be-ing at St. Paul, subsequently at Milwaukee. col. Sibley is-sued orders for battalion drills, and it was at fort Ridgely that the Sixth Regiment began, un-der col. crooks, the admirable conducted battalion evolutions which brought the regiment up to such a high plane of military discipline and perfection. To be led South with such a colonel, and to make a record under him was the dearest wish of every man. To engage in long, wea-ry marches across dry plains, chasing mounted Indians who seldom appeared within gun-shot, was the dismal prospect that was presented for the im-mediate future, and was indeed disheartening.

Thirty Years Ago This Week Letter to the Editor
Belle Plaine Herald
Dear Editor,My Grandmother gradu-
ated from teachers college and then returned to college to earn a nursing degree. She worked as a nurse practitio-ner alongside the doctor as life and death decisions were regularly made. She earned the respect of her co-workers and community. Grandmother took an interest in politics and could hold her own in any de-bate, and, with her two college degrees, ranked as one of the most educated citizens in her community. She organized po-litical debates and campaigned for the candidates she believed in. Even though her opinions and political skills were sought, as a woman she was considered to be too delicate and refined to vote. But she never gave up and was proud, at the age of 33, to vote in the 1920 election, and proud to serve as an election judge before she died. I am proud as her granddaugh-
ter to continue her legacy of voting, and having also served as an election judge; I take pride in the Minnesota legacy of high voter turnout and clean fair elections. I learned from my Grandmother to base decisions on facts, not fears, and that the devil is often in the details. The proposed Photo ID
Amendment has no details on how it is to be implemented, how much it will cost, and who will be paying these costs. The fact is that it will affect thou-sands of legitimate voters in a scramble to obtain government sanctioned photo ID’s. It will affect absentee voters. And the sad reality is that senior women will be the most affected, as they may be required to provide not only their birth certificates, but their marriage licenses as well, documents from a time prior to digital records. Why are we even proposing a
costly expansion of government into a historically effective vot-ing system? I am told because there could be voter ID fraud. There has never been even one case of voter ID fraud in Min-nesota, but it cOULD happen. I am taking the advice of Grand-pa – don’t be wasting time and money on stuff that could hap-pen; invest time and money in fixing the stuff that is happen-ing. Good advice and why I am voting NO on the Photo ID Amendment.

The race to fill three open Belle Plaine city council seats became crowded as nine people placed their names in the running as filings closed that Tuesday. Mayor fran Schuman would be opposed by Ted Worm. city council in-cumbents Ed Townsend and Ed Willson both filed for re-elec-tion. Joining them in the race would be Paul DeGree, Patri-cia O’Laughlin, Joyce Gillen, Ramona Edberg, Ron fenske, Orville Heitkamp and James Steffen.The television cameras, heli-
copters and reporters from dai-ly newspapers left along with 30 law enforcement officers as it was back to business as usual at v & S Enterprises in Belle Plaine. Law officers had de-scended upon the auto salvage business on Oct. 6 looking for stolen goods. About 24 vehi-cles or parts of vehicles that of-ficials suspected of being stolen were removed from the salvage yard that week and placed in storage sites. v & S was in the business of buying salvage cars from a number of Twin cities area and officials were trying to link some of their sources of supply with a car theft ring. No charges had yet been filed in the case.The recent autumn rainfalls
were proving to be too heavy to allow farmers into their fields, putting the corn and soybean harvest behind schedule. Ac-cording to Dave Hart, county extension agent, only about 5 percent of the corn had been harvested in Scott county and 4 percent of the soybeans. “We need to have some dry weather and we need to have it soon,” Hart said.Dr. Roger Hallgren of Belle
Plaine, president of the Great Lakes chapter of flying Physi-cians, met with and addressed the group of 400 members that Saturday in Sandusky, Ohio. The group, which had 2,500 members nationally, was a pro-fessional recreational group that sent physicians to needy parts of the world.The Belle Plaine High School
tennis team traveled to farib-ault that Monday and Tuesday and returned home with the District 13 championship tro-phy. The girls put together su-per back-to-back performances in downing Le Sueur 3-2 and Le Center 4-1. It was the first district title for the Tigers since 1979. Next up would be the first round of the region play-offs against Brooklyn center. Members of the team included
Romi Schneider, Jane Bigaou-ette, Amy Townsend, Mary Leonard, Melanie Martin, Sha-ron Meger and Ann Buesgens. The coach was Terry Knop.The Tiger football team rolled
over the Norwood Indians 30-8 to improve to 2-2 in the confer-ence, 3-3 overall. Eric Johnson scored two touchdowns and also blocked a punt that was re-turned for a score by Mike Daly. Tony Legg and Jeff Larson also scored for Belle Plaine, the lat-ter of whom caught a touch-down pass from Johnson.The BPHS volleyball team lost
to Le Sueur and Le center and won two of three matches at the Waterville Tournament, losing to cleveland before beating New Richland and Morristown to earn third place.

The Belle Plaine School Board and the Scott county School Survey committee tentatively set Nov. 10 as the date for re-consideration by the voters of the consolidation of school districts. The decision to have this second voting at the earli-est date permitted was due to the critical enrollment situa-tion in both the grade and high schools.Quite a number from this local-

90 Years Ago (1922)
Snowflakes fell in Belle Plaine on Oct. 16. Although they melt-ed on hitting the ground, they were real snowflakes.The W.J. Kemper family
moved to St. Paul that week. Their home here was rented to frank Bigaouette and family, who were moving in from Sib-ley county.The few local owners of radio

Dear Editor,We are hearing from the can-
didates of both parties about what the other party has done or failed to do.What bothers me is that you
never hear what they are going to do or what their ideas are to solve the problems. When are we going to start
asking the tough questions? Mr. candidate “ What are YOU going to do about the econo-my?” “What are you going to do about high taxes?” and keep asking until we get a straight answer.I am sorry, but I do not care
who you vote for president, they can not make the types of promises that you hear on Tv. They can have ideas, but they can not achieve it on their own. It takes most of the house, senate and the president to get things done. This is the problem when no one will work togeth-er. We need to elect people that will work with others to make things happen for all people, not just a chosen few.So when you go to vote, ask
yourself, “Did he answer the question truthfully?” "Is he going to work to help all citi-zens?” and “Did he answer the tough questions or did he just use smoke and mirrors to dis-tract us?”

The Belle Plaine Farmers Market’s last day will be Oct. 24. That still gives you time to get your fall fruits and vegeta-bles and to stock up on winter canned goods.It will also give you a chance
to get to know your favorite vendors. Many of them will give you contact information, so when you get a pickle crav-ing in February you won’t have to wait until May.Now is the time to be planting
garlic. Find a nice, clean area with loose soil. Garlic does not do well with weeds. Plant the biggest cloves as they will pro-duce the biggest bulbs. Plant the cloves 3-4 inches deep with about 6 inches of mulch cover-ing them. It is best to wait as
long as you can to plant as you don’t want the garlic to start growing. Right before the first big freeze is ideal. If the winter has a light snow cover, be sure and maintain the mulch.Many of our vendors will be
participating in the vendor fair at the half-marathon Saturday. Be sure and check them out along with many other vendors. It should be a fun day with lots of excitement.The Belle Plaine Farmers Mar-
ket is held Wednesdays from 3:30-6:30 p.m. May through October at court Square Park. No early sales, please respect the bell. Vendors are welcome. For more information, contact Lisa Fahey at 952-873-5665 or Diane Skelley at 952-873-2467.

Ney Nature Center Fall Festival Oct. 20The Ney Nature center in
Henderson offers visitors a splendid view in the fall – you don’t want to miss the prairie and woodlands at this exciting time. Join us Saturday, Oct. 20 for activities all day.This is your chance to spend
a lovely autumn afternoon on the third Saturday in October. Ney center staff, board mem-bers and other volunteers host an annual event of seasonal fun activities to celebrate the ar-rival of fall with exciting new additions each year.The Fall Festival is a free
event. However, there is a nom-inal charge for the supper to help offset the cost of food.This year the NNc welcomes
Judy Helgen, author of “Peril In The Ponds: Deformed Frogs, Politics, and a Biologist’s Quest.”Helgen worked as a research
scientist in biological monitor-ing at the Minnesota Pollution control Agency (MPcA) and taught courses at Metropolitan State University in St. Paul. Previously, she taught at St. Olaf College in Northfield.Helgen’s interest in using
aquatic organisms to evaluate the pollution status of wetlands
and streams deepened as she worked at the MPcA to de-velop a biological rating sys-tem for wetland health, helped design and initiate a volunteer biological monitoring program for wetlands, and led the state’s investigation into the epidemic of deformed frogs for several years. “Peril in the Ponds” tells the story of a government bi-ologist’s investigation into the mystery of deformed frogs, an epidemic that grew during the 1990s and continues today.Start the Fall Festival day with
the second annual Trail Run, which gives runners a chance to support the Ney Nature center as well as run a course of most-ly grass trail with rolling hills through prairie and woods dur-ing the time of great fall colors. choose between an 8k, 2-mile run/hike and a 1k kids dash. Details and registration online at www.neycenter.org http://www.neycenter.org.Other activities include pump-
kin painting, corn husk doll crafting, story hour, prairie maze (north of the education building), a guided hike down the Windmill trail, scavenger hunt, family-style supper, and a bonfire with s’mores and
roasted apples. Supper is pro-vided by the Le Sueur county Pork Producers and the menu includes grilled pork burger on a bun, scalloped potatoes, bean salad, fresh veggies and dip, and strawberry cake. Reserva-tions need to be made by Fri-day. Oct. 12.One of the highlights of the
festival is the tractor-pulled wagon ride around the farm-steads. The last wagon pulls out to cap off the day just as the moon is rising to give ev-eryone a great view of the val-ley. Adults and children huddle together in the crisp night air as the driver carefully guides the “people mover” around the Ney homestead.The Fall Festival also affords
members an opportunity to re-new their membership for the coming calendar year as well as giving others an opportunity to become a member for the coming year. New member-ships begin immediately and go through December of the fol-lowing year.The Fall Festival is a great
way to celebrate such a beau-tiful season at the NNc. Look online for further details at www.neycenter.org.

Next Monday evening, the Belle Plaine Schools will hold their first curriculum Advisory council meeting of the year at 6 p.m. in the District center Board Room. This council makes recommendations to the school board regarding curriculum program improvements. The council, comprised of parents, staff and community members, provides continuous curriculum evaluation and review to ensure that all curriculum content is comprehensive.The curriculum Advisory council will provide active com-
munity participation in:· reviewing the school district instructional and curriculum
plan;· identifying annual instruction and curriculum improvement
goals for recommendation to the school board;· making recommendations regarding the evaluation process
that will be used to measure school district progress towards its goals;· making recommendations regarding the development of
the "Annual Report on curriculum, Instruction and Student Achievement".Additional information about this committee and our agenda
for the year can be found on the Belle Plaine Schools website under District Info/curriculum Director/curriculum Advisory councilWe are seeking volunteers to be on this committee so I hope
that you will consider this opportunity. If you are interested, please contact curriculum Director carol Lagergren at [email protected] and inform her of your intentions. I realize that this is really short notice, so even if you can't make Monday's meeting, I hope you will still consider being a part of the group. The October Agenda may be found on the Belle Plaine Schools website under curriculum Advisory council. The winter storm that northern Minnesota experienced last
week causing school delays and homecoming football game postponements caused me to start thinking about emergency closings due to severe weather or some other circumstance. The Belle Plaine Schools uses ShoutPoint as our alert system through our student database, Infinite campus, to make contact with parents of our students in the event of a change in school schedule. I encourage all parents to log-in to their Infinite campus accounts and update their contact information. Our system will contact all parents by phone, email or text within approximately 10 minutes of when the call is initiated, but the system must have accurate information available so we know all parents are receiving the message.In addition to the alert system, I will also be contacting the
four major television stations in the Twin cities area as well as WccO radio to have them make the announcement as well. If we plan on closing school for the day or having a late start, we try to make that decision by 6 a.m. in an effort to get word out to parents who may have to make adjustments in their daily routine.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!

What’s Happening
Belle Plaine Police Have Extra Seat Belt Patrols on Duty This MonthExtra seat belt patrols take to
the roads in Belle Plaine and across the state Oct. 12–26 as part of the Minnesota Depart-ment of Public Safety’s “Click-it-or-Ticket” campaign.The Belle Plaine Police De-
partment is among nearly 400 Minnesota agencies increasing patrols to encourage motorists to buckle up.In the last three years on Min-
nesota roads, 377 motorists killed in crashes were not buck-led up, representing 43 percent of the total motorist deaths. Of those killed, 41 percent were motorists ages 16–29.“Non-belt use is a major
problem with teens and young adults, and as a result, they are over-represented in traffic deaths,” says Belle Plaine Chief of Police Tom Stolee. “One ex-cuse we hear is ‘belts aren’t comfortable,’ well, neither are hospital beds.”In Minnesota, drivers and pas-
sengers in all seating positions, including the back seat, are re-quired to be buckled up or seat-ed in the correct child restraint. Officers will stop and ticket unbelted drivers or passengers. Seat belts must be worn cor-rectly — low and snug across the hips; shoulder straps should never be tucked under an arm
or behind the back.
Why Buckle Up?In rollover crashes, unbelted
motorists are usually ejected from the vehicle. In most cases, the vehicle will roll over them. Often, unbelted motorists will crack teeth out on steering wheels or break their nose, and even slam into and injure or kill others in the vehicle.Properly wearing a seat belt
reduces the risk of fatal injury to front seat passenger occu-pants by 45 percent in a car and 60 percent in a light truck.Seat belts are the most effec-
tive means of protecting one-self from injury while riding in a vehicle. In a crash, odds are six-times greater for injury if a motorist is not buckled up.
ChildPassenger Safety
The enforcement campaign will include enforcement of Minnesota’s child passen-ger safety law which requires use of booster seats. Children should start riding in a booster seat starting around age 4. It is safest for children to remain in a booster until they are 4 feet 9 inches tall or at least age 8. Boosters help adult seat belts fit children correctly.
Promoting theMessage
The Belle Plaine Police De-partment stresses the impor-tance to promote the seat belt enforcement to encourage belt use.“The last thing we care to do
is write seat belt tickets,” Stolee said. “We are encouraging that motorists be the true enforcers of the law and speak up to re-mind others to belt up.” The en-forcement will be accompanied by a paid media push, featuring a dramatic TV spot that equates a 60 mph crash with no seat belt to falling from a 12-story build-ing.The Click-It-or-Ticket seat
belt enforcement and education campaign is a component of the state’s Toward Zero Death (TZD) initiative. A primary vi-sion of the TZD program is to create a safe driving culture in Minnesota in which motorists support a goal of zero road fa-talities by practicing and pro-moting safe and smart driving behavior. TZD focuses on the application of four strategic areas to reduce crashes — edu-cation, enforcement, engineer-ing and emergency trauma re-sponse.
Sheriff’s Scholarship ProgramScott County Sheriff Kevin
Studnicka has announced the beginning of the Minnesota Sheriffs’ Association Scholar-ship Program for 2012.The MSA has established a
scholarship fund for the award-ing of (15) $600 scholarships for this year. These scholar-ships are due to the coordinat-ed efforts of the 87 sheriffs of Minnesota.The members of the Minne-
sota Sheriffs’ Association give special recognition to the finan-cial needs of students attending the peace officers skills course or one of the two- or four-year law enforcement degree col-leges.The scholarship committee, in
making its selection of awards, intends on achieving represen-tation from all geographical areas of the state. Applications will be received until Oct. 15
of each year, with scholarship awards being announced by Dec. 31 of the same year.Application forms and a
statement of procedures are available at the Scott County Sheriff’s Office. Scholarships are only available to students currently enrolled in one of the following three categories:– Mandated POST skills pro-
gram– In their second year of a two-
year law enforcement program– In their third or fourth year
of a four-year college criminal justice program.In order to qualify, students
must have completed at least one year of the two-year pro-gram or two years of a four-year program. Students meeting this criteria are invited to obtain a scholarship application from their local sheriff’s office or on-line at www.mnsheriffs.org.
Carver Sets Preliminary 2013 Property Tax Levy at 2012 LevelCarver won’t collect any more
money from city taxpayers in 2013 than it did in 2012 now that the city council has set its preliminary levy.Councilors recently voted 4-0
to set the 2013 preliminary levy at $1.87 million – the same amount the city collected this year.The proposed levy includes
$1.56 million for operations, a $65,076 increase from 2012. The levy for debt service is dropping, coincidentally, by $65,076. The city’s debt service is dropping in 2013, thanks to lower interest rates on bonds is-sued in 2010.The council’s unanimous vote
on the preliminary levy came after two workshops in August. The amount individual tax-payers will pay could change, thanks to changes in valuation. Most houses in Carver lost value, an average of 10.21 per-cent in 2012. Overall, the city’s market value dropped from $327 million to $309 million, a decrease of 5.42 percent.The gains the city realized
came from new residential and commercial construction, most
notably Fleet Farm. It’s the sum total for taxes collected from all properties that won’t change.Carver’s levy will cover about
82 percent of the city’s proposed $2.28 million budget covering operations and debt service.The city’s proposed budget
includes a 2 percent wage in-
crease for union and non-union management employees, an 8 percent jump in health premi-ums, $110,000 for the purchase of two pickup truck and a trac-tor, $10,000 for clearing trees on the south side of the Minne-sota River levee and other levee maintenance.

Former Pillow Plant Could BecomeStorage, HousingWith My Pillow making the
jump from Carver to Shakopee, one of Carver’s largest com-mercial buildings needs a use.Landlords Jeanette and Dick
Lenzen are proposing seeking approval to transform the build-ing from a manufacturing plant to indoor storage, a move city planners say would give them time to consider a long-term use for the 4.2-acre parcel and building at 920 Sixth Street W.Carver City Planner said trans-
forming the site to a storage fa-cility would buy the landown-ers time to plan and prepare for a housing subdivision that would give them eight or nine
single-family lots.The city had been pushing
the Lenzens to comply with a litany of unfulfilled conditions for the land, conditions that in-clude paving the parking lot, re-ducing noise, traffic, addressing nuisance complaints, lighting and making the property more complaint with fire codes. The city may give the Lenzens un-til Oct. 31, 2013 to address the concerns.Since My Pillow and its 200
employees left, an auto body shop is the lone remaining ten-ant since My Pillow left town.

Thank you to all who expressed congratulations for our
60th anniversary. We appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Tom & Therese O’Brien
The family of Theresa Buesgens sincerely thanks all those who with their love and sympathy have shared in their grief.
Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral spray, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words as any friend would say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so very much.

October 10 is National Bring Your Teddy Bear To Work Day. I suspect that most of us had a teddy bear at one time. If not a teddy bear, it was some other stuffed cloth doll. This is an observance to recognize the pleasure and joy that these toys bring to people. It is not just for kids either. consider the competition to get the Santa Bears some years ago. People take their teddy bears seriously. It may not be the same as going to work, but for the remainder of the week, all teddy bears are welcome and if your young reader would like to show it to us and tell us about it, we would be glad to hear what they have to say.There are conflicting details of
the origin of the teddy bear. The most common and agreed upon story was that in November 1902, President Teddy Roosevelt was on an unsuccessful hunting trip when they spotted a bear that was more or less cornered. His advisers sug-gested he should shoot it rather than come home empty handed. They were afraid the press might make fun of his hunting skills. President Roosevelt refused because he felt no hunting skill would be involved. The press did grab the story and instead of making fun of the presi-dent, they largely commended his kind act toward the bear. A cartoon-ist named clifford Berryman drew a bear in his weekly panel about “Teddy’s Bear”. A store owner in Brooklyn, New York saw the car-toon and started making the toys. As a result, we can look ahead to November 14 which is American Teddy Bear Day.There is one teddy bear that
we all have in common. His real name is Edward Bear but he is bet-ter known as Pooh, or Winnie the Pooh. The Alen Alexander Milne stories of Winnie the Pooh and all of christopher Robin’s friends are still a mainstay of our young read-ers. They are also a favorite for parents to read for their kids. Try reading Winnie the Pooh to a child and I promise you that you will feel good about the adventure. The ani-mated movies available on DVD are very popular also but the books have a charm that the DVDs may not truly offer.Have you ever read the poem
“Teddy Bear” by A. A. Milne? I am sure that we have it available in the library system. Otherwise, for the internet savvy readers, try this uRL: http://allpoetry.com/poem/8518985-Teddy_Bear-by-A.A._Milne. If you do not have internet access, we can help you at your library. Bring your library card and we will get you started.The Adult Book club that meets

Scott County Among Those With Burning Restrictions
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has added counties in the central and southeast portions of the state to the burning restrictions already in place in northwestern and north-central Minnesota. The additional counties were
placed under tighter restrictions as of 1 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 7.The new counties having limi-
tations placed on campfires and open burning include: Aitkin, Anoka, carlton, carver, cass, chisago, crow Wing, Dakota, fillmore, Goodhue, Hennepin, Houston, Isanti, Olmsted, Pine, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Wa-basha, Washington, Winona, and Wright.These counties are in addition
to the 22 counties that were put under restrictions on Sept. 23. There are now 43 counties under the commissioner’s Or-der, prohibiting open fires other than the types of campfires de-scribed below, which can be no more than 3 feet in diameter and height.Campfires or recreational fires
outside municipalities are al-lowed only in a designated re-ceptacle designed for such use and associated with a residence, staffed campgrounds such as state parks, or resorts. No burn-ing permits will be issued to the general public and use of fire-works will not be allowed out-side of municipalities.counties in southwestern Min-
nesota have also implemented restrictions, but these vary by county. check the DNR website at www.mndnr.gov for counties that have stricter regulations in place. contact local sheriff’s offices for exact regulations.The severe drought and windy
weather has brought wildfire
conditions to the point that fires start easily from sparks or windblown embers and spread extremely fast. Presently, with-out the ability to use water to drown campfires, it will be difficult to properly extinguish them.The DNR and other wild-
fire agencies in the state have brought in additional resources and placed them on a Level 5 alert, the highest planning level. The Minnesota Incident command System agencies are concerned that prolonged lack of rainfall has allowed even the large woody debris and stand-ing conifer trees to ignite easily as well as areas with peat soils. Both lead to difficult demands on firefighting resources to pro-tect life and property.According to the DNR, fall
weekends bring many people outdoors to recreate, including hunters, campers and others who want to have campfires. The DNR urges everyone to use extreme caution where campfires are allowed. Char-coal fires are not limited at this time, but they should not be left unattended. Make sure fires are completely out before leaving. Dry ground can burn. People are responsible for costs to ex-tinguish a fire if it gets away.Recreationists should also pay
attention to parking locations in the woods. Hot engines and catalytic converters can ignite fires, particularly in these dry conditions. check that spark ar-restors on recreational vehicles are working properly.fire conditions change quick-
ly. for more information and maps, visit www.dnr.state.mn.us/forestry/fire/firerating_restrictions.html.

cologne city council has placed city Administrator John Dou-ville on administrative indefinite leave following an allegation of alleged misconduct for reasons it will not state.following a hastily called emer-
gency closed session Tuesday (Oct. 2), the council voted 4-1 to present Douville a letter placing him on indefinite paid adminis-trative leave of absence. coun-cilor Matt Lein voted against placing Douville on leave say-ing councilors were only given a few minutes to review the letter and required to vote on it with-out discussion.“This is ridiculous,” Lein said
before the vote.Mayor Bernie Shambour de-
clined comment on the council’s decision or what led to it. He also would not answer questions on the matter, referring inquires to city Attorney Kelly Dohm of Melchert, Hubert & Sjodin. cit-ing the data practices act, she also declined to respond to any questions on the issue or the way the council is handling the issue, including the number of closed sessions the council has held re-garding allegations against Dou-ville over the past five months or the cost to cologne taxpayers. She said the newspaper would have to pay a fee for the assem-
bling of that public information.The council scheduled two ad-
ditional closed meetings for this week, on Monday (Oct. 8) and tonight (Oct. 10), one to deal with a wastewater treatment staff contract and the other with an employee issue not directly involving Douville.Douville had requested a por-
tion of the Oct. 2 meeting be open to the public. The council did not identify the reason for placing him on leave during the open portion of the meeting and did not afford him the opportu-nity to defend himself during the meeting. Douville said he has only been told one of the al-legations against him and is still waiting for written documenta-tion of the other claims against him.“They’re refusing to say what
they are,” Douville said.Lein said the overall issue in-
volves “John’s management style.”
Most Recent ChargeDouville said the most recent
claim against him came from his handling of an employee disci-pline issue last week. After wit-nessing employee misconduct Sept. 18, he asked the council to investigate and provide appro-priate discipline.He said the direction from the
city council was to do nothing about the incident or discipline the employee with a written rep-rimand. With a councilor pres-ent, he issued the employee a written reprimand last Monday. The employee complained about the discipline to the personnel committee, a complaint Dou-ville believes led to his being placed on leave.Douville filed a grievance
against the city’s personnel com-
mittee early last month for its handling of allegations against him. The committee consists of Shambour and councilor Jill Skaaland. Douville said he wants an unbiased third-party investigation of the allegations against him.Douville objected to the Oct. 2
closed session because the coun-cil did not give the public 72 hours public notice as required by the Minnesota Open Meeting Law. The council scheduled the closed session as an emergency closed session, one of several emergency closed sessions it has held the past few months. Douville believes “emergency sessions” are intended for use in situations like natural disasters. Dohm immediately rejected Douville’s objection at the meet-ing because the council deemed the charges against Douville worthy of an “emergency” sta-tus because the issue required immediate consideration by the city council.Douville noted his performance
reviews the past eight years have been outstanding and that his work has consistently earned ex-cellent ratings, a statement Lein supported.Earlier this summer, Douville
was presented with a personal improvement plan he was re-quired to follow. At his last meeting with members of the personnel committee, he said there were “no negative com-ments” regarding his efforts at personal improvement.Saying he would like to re-
main with the city, Douville is concerned about the effects the inquiry and unstated allegations of alleged misconduct over the past five months. He also wor-ried about the cost to cologne’s taxpayers, lost productivity and impact on staff morale. The city budgeted $3,500 for legal fees in 2012. Last week, the council approved a $10,614 bill from Melchert, Hubert & Sjodin for miscellaneous legal fees during August. Douville is concerned the Dohm’s bill could reach $40,000 by the end of Septem-ber.

Scott County to Offer Well Water Testing
Nitrate is a common con-taminant found in many wells throughout Minnesota. Shallow wells, dug wells and wells with damaged or leaking casings are the most vulnerable to nitrate contamination.Major sources of nitrate con-
tamination can often be from fertilizers, animal waste and human sewage. It is highly rec-ommended to test your drink-ing water supply on a regular basis. Residents who want to check
the drinking water from their private wells for nitrates will have the opportunity to do so from 2-6 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at the Scott county Pub-lic Works facility on Highway 282. The walk-in clinic, spon-sored by the Minnesota De-partment of Agriculture, Scott county Environmental Health and Scott Soil and Water con-servation District, is free and open to the general public; no appointments are necessary.Elevated levels of nitrate in
drinking water can cause Blue Baby Syndrome in bottle-fed in-fants who are under six months of age. Long-term health effects to older children and healthy adults exposed to elevated levels of nitrate in their drink-ing water are not yet known or agreed upon in the scientific community. However, the Na-tional cancer Institute suggests a link between elevated levels of nitrate in drinking water and an increased risk of non-Hodg-kin’s lymphoma (a cancer of
the lymphatic system).In 2011, more than 2,000
samples were analyzed dur-ing nitrate testing clinics in 41 counties across Minnesota. Ap-proximately 6.5 percent of all samples taken were over 10mg/L (the level considered toxic for infants and young children). The median concentration for all samples was 0.7 mg/L, and the maximum 72 mg/L.You are encouraged to test
all the wells on your property (house, barn, irrigation, etc.). Also, you may collect neigh-bors’ or relatives’ samples and bring them in for analysis. If you have a water treatment unit that reduces or removes ni-trate-nitrogen such as a reverse osmosis unit or a distiller, feel free to collect a sample before treatment and after treatment to ensure the treatment system is working properly. It is not necessary to collect a sample from before and after a water softener. A softener does not reduce nitrate, and the nitrate result will be the same before and after treatment.Each year, you should test your
water for both nitrate and bac-teria. Keep a running record of all water tests performed from year to year in a file. Tracking increasing or decreasing nitrate levels through time is an excel-lent research tool.for more information, contact
Greg Boe, Scott county Envi-ronmental Health at 952-496-8652 or Melissa Bokman, Scott county Natural Resources at 952-496-8887.

DNR, 4-Wheel GroupReturning to Old V & S SiteIf all the moving parts come
together as expected, another step toward cleaning up the old V & S auto salvage yard in Belle Plaine will be completed later this month.The city, Minnesota Depart-
ment of Natural Resources (DNR), Union Pacific Railroad, the Metropolitan Mosquito control District and Minnesota four Wheel Drive Association are working on a partnership that will allow another cleanup effort Oct. 27. The aim of the cleanup effort is removing from the site more scrap metal, rem-nants of cars and trucks plus unmounted tires, said Paul Nordell, program coordinator for the DNR’s parks and trails division.But before the cleanup work
can resume, the city is working on improving the access road to the former auto salvage yard. The city is repacking the gravel section of cherry Street north of forest Street in the northwest corner of the city. The approxi-mately $21,000 project also in-cludes new culvert work under the railroad and other efforts to divert water away from the gravel roadway so it remains usable.“There will still be water, but
were going to try and slow it down,” said Al fahey, Belle Plaine’s Public Works superin-tendent.Once street and culvert work
are completed, the DNR will bring in 20 roll-off dumpsters for the cleanup effort at a cost of approximately $7,500. The
mosquito control district will haul away the old unmounted tires, Nordell said. The four-wheel group will help with removing the heavy remnants of old vehicles and other auto parts.Nordell said the project will
be successful because of the groups working in concert.“It’ll be a beautiful project
if we can pull it off,” he said. “There are groups working re-ally well together.”The auto salvage business was
operated from the late-1960s to the late-1990s. A variety of cleanup efforts since the early-2000s have made a significant dent in the waste left behind, Nordell said.“We’ve got between 80 and 85
percent out and there’s a ton of it still there,” he said.
Cologne Fire Dept. Completes Implementing FEMA GrantThe cologne fire and Rescue
Department recently announced it has completed the implemen-tation of the federal Assistance to Firefighters grant the depart-ment received last year from the federal Emergency Man-agement Agency (fEMA).“This grant has given the
county a brand new, state-of-the-art paging system for the fire departments in the county,” said Cologne Firefighter Dan Klein, task force leader for the project.The $517,000 grant allowed
the fire departments in Carver county to build a six-tower simulcast paging system for emergency response paging. The county used a five-tower system that only allowed pages to come off a single tower. The new system allows the page to be sent off all six towers at the same time, giving the system a much wider coverage area.
The new system also allows firefighters to hear both sides of a conversation between fire-fighters and a dispatcher on the ARMER Radio System on their pagers. Previously, firefighters could only hear the dispatcher’s side of the conversation, Klein said.“This gives fire officers and
firefighters the ability to hear units checking into service so we can ensure we have enough people and units responding,” said cologne fire chief charles Joos.The new paging system also
includes an independent two-tower emergency backup. The emergency system would al-low firefighters to be paged if the primary system fails. The cologne fire and Rescue De-partment applied for the grant in 2010 on behalf of all fire de-partments in carver county. A total of $517,000 was awarded
from fEMA. carver county chipped in $129,250 to cover the required 20 percent match.“The fire departments and the
cities in the county are very grateful to the county for cov-ering our match, Joos said.“This would have been a big
burden on the city’s budget had we had to cover it,” said John Douville cologne city admin-istrator.Along with the new paging
system, the county fire depart-ments each received a new pager for every firefighter, a programmer for the pagers, and a new laptop for use in fire pre-vention and with the pager pro-grammers.“This new system will serve
our county for the next 20-plus years,” Klein said. “for 20 cents on the dollar, the citizens of carver county have got a great system.”
Jordan School Board Eyeing Possible Building ReferendumAfter two years of discussions
on how to address the shortcom-ings of Jordan Middle School, the Jordan School District is considering a referendum for next spring, asking voters to consider approving millions of dollars for improvements at the 40-plus-year-old building.A spring election would fol-
low months of proposed pub-lic involvement between the school board, an architect from DLR Group and residents. The referendum could raise funding for improvements at the mid-
dle school, enhancements that would include upgrades to the building’s inefficient mechani-cal, electrical, insulation and air-quality systems.Informal estimates on the cost
of improvements could range from $12 to $24 million, de-pending on the scope of the work. The district plans to hire a de-
mographer to assemble data on the district and its residents, in-formation the board can use to make decisions. Directors will also meet individually with an
Cologne Academy Receives Small School Achievement Grantcologne Academy recently
received a Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) Program grant of $28,242 to further raise academic achievement for the 2012-2013 academic year.The grant allows the charter
school to to maintain a second accountability specialist that manages and improves the en-hanced reading and math pro-grams currently offered. The students in cologne Academy’s Mixed Up Math (MUM) and Mixed Up Reading (MUR) pro-grams divided into small groups based on their knowledge lev-els, not grade levels, creating an environment of learners that are at the same level of under-standing.
“We focus on creating learn-ing environments that most effectively meet the academic needs of all students,” said Lynn Gluck, the school’s ex-ecutive director. “By creating a grade-less classroom for our third through eighth grade stu-dents in our MUM and MUR programs, students are able to make significant academic gains by grouping them with other students who are at the same academic level for each lesson.”cologne Academy’s progres-
sive approach allows for an education tailored to each stu-dent, instead of the traditional approach where the student has to tailor oneself to the preset
education plan. The MUM and MUR programs are just two ex-amples of cologne Academy’s progressive educational pro-graming that creates environ-ments allowing each teacher to give every student more indi-vidualized attention.cologne Academy is a tu-
ition-free kindergarten through eighth grade public charter school in cologne. It opened in 2008. The academy is commit-ted to providing a well-rounded, quality education built around individual student achievement, student character development, enriched curriculum, parental involvement, and small class sizes.

New Prague School Board Ups 2013Preliminary LevyThanks to a voter-approved
excess levy hike and an in-crease in debt service, New Prague Area School Board set its preliminary 2013 property tax levy at $10.1 million, a 6.98 percent increase over 2012.Most of the preliminary levy’s
increase – about 4 percent – is the result of a $100 per-student increase voters approved last November for implementation next year. The rest of the in-crease is attributed to previous adjustments and debt service, according to Sandy Linn, the district’s finance director.The increase in the preliminary
levy comes after reductions in each of the past two years. The current levy, Linn said, is less than the levy the board OK’d for 2010.The preliminary levy can only
be reduced or maintained when the board sets the final 2013 levy in December.

The BPHS boys’ and girls’ cross country teams, pictured just before the starting gun sounded, were not competing against each other, but rather with each other as the Tigers joined forces to win last Tuesday’s five-team coed meet in Henderson.
The Tigers’ Zack Juaire tried to stiff-arm a Crusader defend-er Friday night in Belle Plaine.

and 30 yards) later in the half to cap off a perfect kicker’s night.The crusaders also added a
safety en route to taking a 33-0 lead before the Tigers’ Nick Eliason had an impressive 87-yard kickoff return for the Tigers’ only score early in the fourth quarter. Anensen’s sec-ond field goal with 1:06 left in the game made the final 36-6.Belle Plaine had 111 yards of
total offense (63 rushing and 48 passing). Mayer Lutheran had 286 yards (170 rushing and 116 passing). Phil and Joel Burfeind combined to carry the ball 31 times for 138 yards and three touchdowns.Derek Dahlke and Jayden
Howie shared the quarterback duties for the Tigers. Dahlke completed 3-of-7 passes for 34 yards and two intercep-tions. Howie was 3-of-9 for 14 yards. Luke Narveson, Eliason and Zack Juaire each had two catches for 20, 19 and 9 yards, respectively.The Tigers’ leading rushers
were Christopher Holmbeck (three attempts for 19 yards), Dillon Haefner (six carries for 19 yards) and Juaire (seven rushes for 18 yards).Defensively, Mitchell Nelson
led the way with 13 tackles, followed by Brandon Boateng (12), Ben Stier (11), Gavin Dau-walter (10), Blayne Prochaska (9), Dahlke (7), Zach Bahr (4) and chase Emmers (1).
Belle Plaine’s cameron Klehr, who suffered a head injury in the second half, was taken by ambulance to an area hospital shortly after the game ended. He was treated and released.Up next for the Tigers is this
Friday’s 7 p.m. clash with the Giants at Le Sueur-Henderson High School. The Giants are di-rected this season by new head coach Mike May, a 2006 gradu-ate of LS-H. He takes over for Terry Turek, who resigned af-ter coaching the team for more than 25 years.Under May, the low-scoring
Giants have a 2-4 record this season, which includes 2-3 in the MRc. They are coming off a 7-0 win at Jordan. LS-H opened the season with a 34-7 loss at St. Peter. The Giants then won their MRC opener against Norwood Young America 29-26 before losing their next three – 9-7 to Mayer Lutheran, 28-7 to Watertown-Mayer and 29-6 to Tri-city United.

Blue Earth Eliminates Belle Plaine From Section Team TournamentThe Belle Plaine High School
tennis team had its season come to an end Thursday in deep southern Minnesota, where Blue Earth Area bounced the Tigers from the Section 2A Tournament with a 6-1 victory.The match was played in very
windy conditions, with some gusts of 45 miles per hour.“We lost 1-6 but we had many
close matches,” said Belle Plaine coach Annette Moylan. “Blue Earth has only six courts, so No. 1 singles had to start last. After the first half-hour, we were ahead in four of six matches and things were look-ing bright. We just couldn’t close the deal on the third set.”Moylan added that three of the
matches lasted 2 1/2 hours.
“I was proud of our girls. They fought to the bitter end,” con-tinued Moylan.Belle Plaine, which finished
the team season 4-4 in the Minnesota River conference, 8-13 overall, defeated Tri-city United in the play-in round last Monday to earn its quarterfinal trip to Blue Earth Area, which was the tournament’s No. 2 seed.

Tigers Drop Thriller to Giantsby Dan RuudThe Belle Plaine and Le Sueur-
Henderson volleyball teams engaged in another of their annual back-and-forth clashes and Thursday night’s was per-haps the most explosive yet as the Giants won in five sets, all but one of which was decided by two points.The loss put a dent in Belle
Plaine’s hopes of winning a second-straight MRc title out-right as this match, unlike the Tigers’ 3-1 victory at Le Sueur in the season opener, will count in the MRc standings. Belle Plaine and LS-H are currently tied for second place at 4-1 in MRc play. Mayer Lutheran is 5-0. The Tigers still have a good chance of at least sharing the 2012 MRC crown as they will host the crusaders in a confer-ence showdown on Oct. 16.Belle Plaine will travel to Tri-
city United for a MRc contest this Thursday night. Next Mon-day, the Tigers will host Class 3A power Waconia, which de-feated Belle Plaine in a tourna-ment in Marshall a month ago.
Tigers 3, New Prague 1The Tigers got last week start-
ed on the right side of the net as they defeated the home-team Trojans 25-19, 23-25, 25-22, 25-14 last Tuesday.“New Prague is improving
each year we see them. They had some big swingers on the outside and good middle, enough to keep us on our toes for all four sets,” said Tigers coach cassie Wolpern. “Our focus was lacking a bit, as we struggled with our timing and ball control through the
first few sets. Fortunately, we served well, keeping them out of system often and not allow-ing them to use their powerful attackers as much.”Kirsten Johnson, Mariena
Hayden and Marykay Nasby each had 10 kills for the Tigers, the latter of whom also had a team-high five service aces. Haley Fogarty chipped in nine kills, followed by Jordan Going (6), Amara Meyer (4) and El-lie Murphy (1). Hayden had 20 digs, while Johnson and Devin Lehman had 26 and 17 set as-sists, respectively. claire Otto had 14 digs.
LS-H 3, Tigers 2In what may have been a pre-
view of things to come, possi-bly the section championship later this fall, that fans got their money’s worth in this marathon match that ended in favor of the visiting Giants by counts of 23-25, 25-20, 25-23, 23-25, 15-17.“It was the show that every-
one was expecting as the gym was crowded with fans from both schools,” Wolpern said. “Although we didn’t come out on top, we took a lot away from this battle. We were able to test our conditioning in a match that lasted two hours, play under pressure as each set was decided by five or less, and take mental notes for the situ-ation that is likely to repeat at the end of October. The differ-ence on our side of the court was individual performances. Our team typically provides threats from each position on the court. Against LS-H, a few players played outstanding, a few played consistently and a
few struggled. We all need to be on the same page and doing our parts to beat any great team.”Fogarty had 16 kills, followed
by Going and Nasby with 13 apiece. Hayden and Johnson both had 11. Meyer added three and Otto one. Johnson had three service aces and Hayden two. The dig leaders were Hayden (15), Johnson (14), Otto (12) and Fogarty (10). Johnson had 43 set assists and Lehman 18.

Belle Plaine’s Jacob Schaffer (in front) placed second overall among 50 runners at last Tues-day’s coed meet at Ney Nature Center in Henderson.
Belle Plaine defenders had a difficult time of chasing down Mayer Lutheran running back Phil Burfeind, who scored two TDs in his team’s 36-6 victory Friday night in Belle Plaine.
The Crusaders’ Joel Burfeind was able to run underneath and catch this pass for a sizeable gain Friday night in Belle Plaine. The Tigers’ Zander Stier led this pack of runners that included the top two female finishers
at last Tuesday’s coed meet at Ney Nature Center – Mayer Lutheran’s Hannah Truniger, left, and Belle Plaine’s Janessa Meuleners. Truniger finished 11th overall among the 50 runners and Meuleners was 13th.
Haley Leger, left, and Emilyn Siemon were among the Tigers competing in last Tuesday’s coed meet at Ney Nature Center. Mayer Lutheran’s Tanner Luebke, right, broke up this pass
play intended for Belle Plaine’s Luke Narveson Friday night. Narveson, a freshman, had two catches for 20 yards.

boys’ and girls’ cross country teams joined forces to capture last Tuesday’s Le Sueur-Hen-derson Coed Invitational at Ney Nature Center in Henderson.The Tigers accumulated a

placed second among 50 male and female runners as he cov-ered the 4.3K course in 14:48. Alex Fredrickson of Mayer Lutheran was the overall win-ner in 14:29. The Tigers’ next best finishers were Zander Sti-er (eighth in 15:39) and Tony Dvorak (ninth in 15:44).Two girls were among the top

Tigers Lose Fifth in a Rowby Dan RuudThe Belle Plaine High School
football team played its home-coming game Friday night – and based on the result (a 36-6 loss to Mayer Lutheran) – it’s unlikely the Tigers will be com-ing home again this season.Belle Plaine plays its final
two regular season games on the road this Friday and next Wednesday nights, and even if it wins both games, would fin-ish the season with just three wins, which normally results in a road game at a higher seed in the section tournament.The Tigers, 0-5 in the Min-
nesota River Conference, 1-5 overall, will receive their post-season seed next week. The Crusaders improved to 4-1 in the MRC, 5-1 overall. Thanks to Sibley East’s 15-12 vic-tory over previously unbeaten Tri-City United Friday, Mayer Lutheran is now involved in a four-team logjam atop the con-ference standings with Tri-City, Sibley East and Watertown-Mayer.Belle Plaine and Mayer Lu-
theran spent most of the first quarter Friday exchanging punts in what was a cold and windy night. The Tigers did toss one interception late in the quarter that led to an 18-yard scoring pass from Mayer Lutheran’s Jeremiah Grimsley to Cole Buttenhoff that made it 7-0 with 1:22 left in the first quarter.Another Tiger turnover (a
fumble) midway through the second quarter led to another Crusader touchdown as running back Joel Burfeind rumbled 21 yards to make it 14-0 with 5:37 left in the half.A blocked punt led to Mayer
Lutheran’s third touchdown of the first half, taking posses-sion at the Belle Plaine 14 yard line. This time Phillip Burfeind plunged in from 2 yards out and the Crusaders would head into the warmth of their school bus with a 21-0 lead at intermis-sion.It became 28-0 early in the
second half as Mayer Lutheran marched 76 yards in just over two minutes. Philip Burfeind covered the final 7 yards and Chad Anensen booted his fourth extra-point in as many tries. He would add two field goals (25

Mayo Clinic Health System Adds New Provider for Belle Plaine
Michelle Napral, C.N.P., now provides care to patients at Mayo Clinic Health System – New Prague in Belle Plaine, as well as patients at the Belle Plaine Lutheran home.“I chose to work for Mayo
Clinic Health System because their primary value of putting the patient fi rst coincides with my personal belief as a health care professional,” says Napral. “The patient’s needs are truly what matters most, and it’s prac-ticed here, not just preached.”Napral attended Arizona State
University (ASU), where she received her bachelor’s degree in nursing. After working for fi ve years as a registered nurse in Arizona, she attended gradu-ate school at ASU and became a certifi ed nurse practitioner. Napral lived in Wisconsin for the fi rst 15 years of her life, so moving to Minnesota brings her closer to her roots.“I’m excited to have the op-
portunity to provide care to pa-tients in the Belle Plaine area,” adds Napral. “I love being able to work in a community where I can develop a personal relation-ship with my patients.”Family medicine seems to be
a perfect fi t for Napral because she enjoys helping patients with a variety of health care needs.
Her medical interests include dermatology, geriatrics, pediat-rics and women’s health. “Michelle’s experience and
patient-fi rst attitude are a wel-come addition to our health care team in Belle Plaine,” says Mary Klimp, Mayo Clinic Health System in New Prague administrator. “With the ad-dition of her medical skill, we continue to enhance the quality health care services available to patients in Belle Plaine and sur-rounding communities.”To schedule an appointment

Stauffacher and Joe Ploetz.
TeamworkHe remembers only small bits
and pieces of what happened at practice Sept. 11. It was a hot, windy fall day. He was work-ing with lineman using a block-ing sled, blowing the whistle every six seconds to signal the end of the block and for a new group to start. He said his fel-low coaches noticed the whis-tle wasn’t being blown at the regular intervals.Wick’s been told he went
down to his knees and told the players to go get some wa-ter. From there, he collapsed. Wellner ran to Wick’s side and called Stauffacher. They checked for a pulse. Unable to fi nd one, Stauffacher began administering CPR and Ploetz called 9-1-1. They switched until help arrived.“I’m just glad we were able to
help,” Ploetz said. “I was afraid he wasn’t going to make it.”Just like in football, Wick ben-
efi tted from a team effort.“All three of them helped save
my life,” he said. “Each played a different role.”Belle Plaine Police Offi cer
Ben Pederson was the fi rst po-lice offi cer to reach the west end of the football practice fi eld. He and offi cer Matt Brandt used an automatic external defi brillator (AED). They shocked Wick’s heart four times trying to re-store it to its normal beating rhythm.Police have carried AEDs in
their squads for just such an emergency since about 2005. Pederson said he has used one before at a car crash, but unsuc-cessfully. He’s delighted this incident ended differently. “I’m just happy it worked,” he said. “You don’t think about it. Your training takes over. It great that it worked out.”The 49-year-old Wick has
helped coach football in Belle Plaine since he was hired at the start of the 2005-06 school year. He was an assistant var-sity football coach at Nicollet before moving to Belle Plaine. Having played high school and college football, his passion for the game is based on teamwork and working toward a common goal.“I just like working with kids.
I love football, its teamwork and I love passing that aspect of the game on,” he said. “This is such a nice group of kids.”His doctors have placed him
on the sidelines for the season, prohibiting him from actively coaching until next year. He stopped by football practice one day last week to wish his
players well. He hopes to catch their last two games of the sea-son.“My doctors don’t want me
getting too excited,” he said.
His First RideAs the ambulance made its
way up Highway 169, Wick re-calls overhearing the paramed-ics saying they were in Jordan on their way to St. Francis Re-gional Medical Center. A heli-copter waited to transport him to Abbott Northwestern Hospi-tal in Minneapolis.Wick had never been in a he-
licopter before. Watching the rotating blades from his back wasn’t his plan for his fi rst ride.He describes the next 18 hours
as “fuzzy.” He sent an e-mail message to his co-workers at school letting him know he was undergoing tests. After an angiogram, Wick met with a cardiologist who told him he wished his arteries looked that good.The doctors believe he had
a rare inborn heart condition known as Long QT Syndrome
caused by delayed repolariza-tion of the heart following in-creases in heartbeat. It increas-es the risk of irregular heartbeat that originates from the main chambers of the heart. These episodes may lead to palpi-tations, fainting and sudden death when uncoordinated con-traction of the cardiac muscle within the heart, making quiver rather than contract properly.They took Wick into surgery
and implanted a cardioverter defi brillator in his chest. It has two wires running to the bot-tom of his heart. If it detects an irregular heartbeat, the device returns the heart to its normal rhythm.Wick has spoken with other
patients who’ve had the de-vices implanted in them. Most say they’ve lived life for years without the device being acti-vated. He’s looking forward to a long, active life with his wife and family. “They wouldn’t let me leave
without it,” Wick said. “The cardiologist said this is my in-surance policy.”
