The ninth-grade choir will also include a song Wayne Liebhard, M.D., a 1975 graduate of Belle Plaine High School, wrote and former BPHS Choir Direc- tor Earl Sherburne arranged for four-part choir. The song, “Round and Round-All Over Town.” It is from an original album he wrote and recorded with the Solid Gold Band, titled “Here In Flyover Country.” “Since I graduated high school, I have wanted to collaborate again with Earl Sherburne, and I’m very happy to have gotten the chance, and equally happy that Cheryl Gorton’s group will be doing the song,” Liebhard said.

Scott County Board Split on Small Levy Hike for 2013 Most Scott County property owners should see a property tax reduction despite a half- percent increase in the county’s gross levy. Still, the proposed levy increase drew opposi- tion from commissioners who vowed to oppose any tax hike during the fall campaign. Tuesday morning, the Scott County Board voted 3-2 to ap- prove a $60.82 million gross levy. The levy adds just over $300,000 for spending. The net levy becomes $57.07 million once the county’s $3.75 million state aid is factored into the equation. Echoing the complicated na- ture of Minnesota property tax law, County Administrator Gary Shelton noted the increase is really a decrease since the net levy is about $540,000 less in 2013 than 2012. As for the bottom line, the approval means 74 percent of residential property owners wills see an average decrease of about $41 on the county’s por- tion of a property tax bill. As for those facing an increase in Scott County’s share of prop- erty taxes, are those whose property has increased in value, which includes most farmland and lakeshore property. Commissioners Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township, Belle Plaine’s representative on the board, and David Menden of Shakopee opposed the increase. Menden noted increases from other government entities, like school districts. He said, “peo- ple are hurting.” Wagner prom- ised opposition to the property tax increase during his latest successful re-election bid. Scott County’s 2013 budget of $121.77 million was unani- mously passed. It includes operations, capital and road project spending. Menden en- couraged delays in any unnec- essary spending.

The two have a three-year agree- ment that could lead to Fry buy- ing the popular franchise. “We’d talked about it a cou- ple years ago,” Fry said. “We couldn’t make it work then. We couldn’t come to a deal.” Fry operated the Belle Plaine DQ for a decade, from 1988 to 1998. Since he left Belle Plaine, he has owned a variety of busi- nesses, including a Papa Mur- phy’s in Marshall, Minn. and Brewers in Jordan. At the same Winter Arrives Local snowblowers, including Brian Chilman’s at his home on East Main Street, were put into action for the first time this season and they and their operators had their work cut out for them as one of the biggest snowstorms in nearly two years blanketed Belle Plaine and the surrounding area, with some locations getting nearly a foot of snow. The storm began late Saturday night and continued throughout the day on Sunday. The storm system was trailed by an arctic front that sent temperatures plummeting on Monday and Tuesday. A reprieve is expected for today (Wednesday) and the remainder of the week as daily high temperatures are forecast to climb back into the 30s.

Fry Takes Over Belle Plaine DQThe new boss of the Belle

Plaine Dairy Queen Doesn’t need a tour of the restaurant he took over earlier this month. Ron Fry knows the building and his way around a DQ well.Fry is the new operator of the

DQ franchise in Belle Plaine. He’s leasing the operation and building on East Commerce Drive from Tony Jewett. The

two have a three-year agree-ment that could lead to Fry buy-ing the popular franchise.“We’d talked about it a cou-

time he owned the Dairy Queen in Belle Plaine, he also owned the DQ franchise in Chaska, moving it from its spot on the hillside overlooking much of downtown Chaska north to the city’s new commercial de-velopment in Jonathan along Highway 41.“That was a good location. We

had to move it when they wid-ened the highway,” he said.

A Familiar FaceUnlike Jewett who allowed

managers to run the operation, Fry plans to be a constant at the restaurant. He’ll work shifts day or night as needed and wants to become a recognizable face behind the counter. His wife, Heather (Noll) grew up in Belle Plaine and will work at the restaurant when needed. The couple wants to be more involved in fund-raising activi-ties locally.“We like this community. It’s

got nice small-town feel to it,” he said.Fry knows the fast-food res-

taurant industry well. In addi-tion to Dairy Queen and pizza franchises, he has also managed restaurants, including Hardee’s,

Promoting Monster TrucksMultiple-time Supercross class champion Ryan Dungey of Belle Plaine was at Mall of AmericaField in Minneapolis on Nov. 30 to help promote the recent return of Monster Energy Super-cross to Minneapolis. Pictured with Dungey is girlfriend Lindsay Siegle, a 2009 graduate of Belle Plaine High School. Dungey and Siegle met several years ago at Annie’s Cafe in Belle Plaine. Dungey learned how to drive the monster truck in the background but said he plans to stick with racing motorcycles, the indoor season for which is fast approaching. Dungey spends much of his time training from his home in Florida and competing in Supercross races across the nation and elsewhere in the world. He said he visits Belle Plaine as often as he can when his schedule permits.

This Week’sMystery Photo

Think you know what this is? The fi rst person who calls the Herald offi ce (873-2261) with the correct identifi cation and location of the above mystery photo will be recognized in next week's issue.

Ron Fry and his wife, Heather, are the new operators of the Dairy Queen in Belle Plaine. He promises an almost-constant presence at the family restaurant, increased hours and commu-nity involvement.

Dairy Queen(continued from page 1)

in Waconia, Sauk Centre, Minn. and a dozen or so other loca-tions over the years. “Whenev-er there was a mess, I got sent there to clean it up,” he said.Most recently, he owned

Brewers for 2½ years. He gave up ownership to it last April.Since then, Fry “has been

looking for something to do.” He likes the Belle Plaine Dairy Queen and believes the busi-ness is in a good place with plenty of potential. Fry has no

major plans for revamping the business. He may seek corpo-rate DQ’s permission to trim the menu, eliminating items that aren’t as popular.Fry plans to extend the res-

taurant’s hours before the end of the year. Fry is looking to improve the service by imple-menting a new point-of-sale system he says will expedite service and improve effi ciency.“We’ll tweak some things,” he

said. “But this is a good store. We won’t change much.”

As usual, the readers at the Belle Plaine Library surprised me again with their response to last week’s suggestion of the Thanksgiving and christmas themed works of Debbie Ma-comber. If you want to get in on this, we still have more of her works to offer.On the more serious side of

reading, the second book in our “New Arrivals” section may be interesting to many of you. I know that the History chan-nel gives a rather steady feed of programming about World War II, but this book may give you a chance to read and think, at your own pace, about the horrors of the war in the Pacific theater. Last friday was the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. That was the trigger point that solidified our county on a re-sponse to the fighting going on in Europe as well as the south Pacific.On December 12, 1915, we

mark another event that changed the world. This is the anniver-sary of the birth of frank Sina-tra. Every now and then, you hear a recording of frank Sina-tra singing and you realize once again, just how good he was. In his lifetime he made more than 200 albums. We have a number of bio-

graphic books on frank Sinatra if you would like to do some reading. The library also carries a number of frank Sinatra cDs that you may enjoy. Your kids might enjoy “something new”. You never can tell. frank Sina-tra left us on May 14, 1998.Another significant Decem-

ber 12 birthday goes all the way back to 1745. That is the date that John Jay was born. His influence on our lives is significant. If you do not know this name or for that matter, the significance of John Jay, you are missing out on an intriguing part of our nations early history. A bit or research into his life can make for some interesting read-ing. I would like to challenge you to take some time to do so. Of course, we would gladly as-sist you in your efforts.Since it is a busy time of the

year, Story-Time will be put on hold until february of 2013. We will be back with a fresh bunch of exciting stories.The friends of the Library

have invited Santa claus to vis-it us on again on Saturday, De-cember 15 from noon to 2 p.m. In spite of his busy schedule, Santa has e-mailed (he moves with the times) back that he will be glad to visit our young readers. Be sure to mark this on your calendars. This will be his last trip to the Belle Plaine li-brary until a bit after midnight, in the wee hours of December 25.Library Hours:Sunday & Monday: closedTuesday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Wednesday 1-8 p.m.Thursday 1-8 p.mfriday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Saturday: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.New Arrivals December 14,

With Well Working Well, East Union School Back OpenA new well is operating, prop-

erly and allowing East union Elementary School to reopen last week.The school closed when its

workers discovered Nov. 28 the well was not performing well and the school was left without water for its 200-plus students. A close inspection of the well determined the pump and cas-ing it sits in failed, meaning a new well had to be drilled and

casing installed.A tank of water was brought

to the school to keep the toilets working well. Hand sanitizer and bottled water were also brought to the school for con-sumption during lunch hour and throughout the day. School was closed Nov. 29-30.The district’s well was ex-

pected to be operational by last week, assuming tests taken by the Minnesota Department of

Health went well. The well is about 20 years old, well within its expected lifespan. Replacing it was expected to cost the dis-trict about $20,000. East union Elementary School

is about nine miles northeast of Belle Plaine. It is the smallest school in the chaska-based Eastern carver county School District.

Christmas Bird Count Dec. 15The 16th annual christmas

Bird count, centered on the Ney Nature center area, will take place Dec. 15.If you are an environmental

enthusiast and enjoy watching bird life, this is an activity for you. Amateur and professional birdwatchers will take to the hills, prairies and streams to count birds across the nation in an activity that is over 110 years old.Much of Le Sueur, all of Hen-

derson, the southeast fringe of Belle Plaine and the St. Thom-as area all are within 7.5 miles of the Ney center (as the bird flies) and thus eligible for “the count.”for those uncomfortable with

tromping through the brush or roaming the prairies, a count can be taken at backyard bird feeders. The procedure is sim-ple and non time-consuming and there is no charge for par-ticipation in the christmas Bird count.The Ney center will be open

from 8 a.m. on the 15th, if one

wishes to count from there. This year participants may mail their results, or share experiences and report count results from 3-5 p.m. at the center, where refreshments and snacks will be served.until 1900, the custom was

to shoot (kill) as many birds as possible on christmas Day. An ornithologist of the time, frank M. chapman, created the count as an alternative to the slaugh-ter.Today, many thousands of

volunteers across the land par-ticipate. In December of 2010, more

than 120 youngsters through oldsters in the immediate area assisted with this exciting en-deavor. The data becomes part of the Audubon’s state and na-tional database. As drought, disease and weather-change de-plete bird numbers, this infor-mation becomes increasingly valuable.for count forms and addition-

al information, call 507-248-3474. Questions can also be directed to 507-665-2658.

Cologne Trims Administrator Candidates From Six to ThreeDepending on how interviews

go next week, cologne’s next city administrator is either an assist city administrator or a business consultant with pub-lic sector experience. The co-logne city council narrowed its choices for its next adminis-trator from six to three Monday night (Dec. 10).The council narrowed the field

from six candidates to three us-ing information a consultant, Sprinsted Senior Vice President Sharon Klumpp, gained from telephone interviews. Klumpp will release the names of the three finalists after they agree to a public job interview with city council. The council ap-proved having the consultant conducts background checks on the three finalists to expedite the process.The council tentatively sched-

uled its next meeting and the in-terviews for Dec. 18 beginning at 5:30 p.m. each interview should last about one hour.Mayor Bernie Shambour said

the council wants to see the hir-ing process completed before he and councilor Jill Skaaland leave office at the end of De-cember.All three candidates have

varying levels of experience with finance, community and

economic development and hu-man resources, Klumpp said. Matthew Hoffman is currently

Kensington, Md. The commu-nity is about cologne’s size. Diane Miller is working for a

janitorial consulting firm, Per-fection Plus. She was previous-ly the city administrator/clerk in canby, Minn.John Meyer is working in the

private sector. He was an ad-ministrator in canby before Miller and has also served as Centerville, Minn’s finance di-rector. His resume includes ser-vice as an elected school board director. Meyer is will make a five-year commitment to Co-logne if hired, Klumpp said.The three candidates were the

unanimous choices of the coun-cil to bring in for an interview. The first candidate, being in the Washington, D.c. area, may be interviewed via Skype, al-though the council is hopeful he can travel to cologne for an interview.Based on information gleaned

from a 30-minute telephone in-terview, Klumpp favors the first and second candidates. “I think you have three candidates who would be good,” she said.

Deal With WatertownEarlier this month, the co-

logne city council inked an agreement with the city of Watertown to use Watertown’s wastewater treatment plan op-erator to fill the void created when cologne’s plant operator resigned.The one-year agreement be-

gins Jan. 1 and can be voided with a 45-day notice. People-Service is managing the plant’s operations through the end of the month.cologne Mayor Bernie Sham-

bour said the arrangement with Watertown is the most cost-ef-fective deal the city had open to it. The Watertown plant opera-tor will be in cologne at least four hours a week, a minimum requirement for licensure, at a cost of $50 an hour plus the $30 fee for travel to and from Wa-tertown.Watertown also has a similar

agreement for management of Norwood Young America’s wastewater plant operation. The three-city arrangement, Sham-bour said, could provide some benefits in projects through economy of scale.The council interviewed repre-

sentatives from different firms interested in maintaining co-logne’s wastewater treatment operation earlier this fall.

FAT CHANCE!Omega-3 fatty acids found in

cold-water fi sh and certain plant and nut oils are already known to exert heart-healthy effects, reduce insulin resistance and infl amma-tion and reduce lipids and blood pressure. Now, there is evidence that DHA (the most complex form of omega-3) may also help prevent the most common form of blind-ness in older people. DHA has been found in the laboratory to fi ght the buildup of a toxic molecule (A2E) that accumulates on the retina to cause vision loss. By counteract-ing A2E formation, DHA may slow degeneration of the retina, includ-ing age-related macular degenera-tion (AMD). DHA may not reverse retinal damage, but it may help pre-serve vision and relieve dry eye and chronic eyelid infl ammation.

You’ve probably heard from your doctor or a dietician that eating certain kinds of fi sh each week is good for your health and waistline. Research shows that eating fi sh can also help you enjoy good vision longer. Routine eye exams are the cornerstone to healthy eyes. Please call us at 952-492-2350 to sched-ule a comprehensive eye health examination that includes measure-ment of visual acuity, tests for con-trast sensitivity and screening for glaucoma and cataracts. Our offi ce is located at 223 E. First Street, Suite 101. We accept most vision insurances.

P.S. Because DHA is the form of omega-3 fatty acid that is among the most diffi cult to consume in suf-fi cient amounts since it is found in so few food sources, supplements may be the best way to get it.

CATARACT SURGERY’S ADDED BENEFIT

Not only does cataract surgery (replacing clouded natural lenses with clear artificial ones) enable people to see more clearly, there is also evidence of an added benefit. New research shows that people who undergo cataract surgery have a 16% reduced risk of hip fracture during the year after the procedure. In cases of individuals with severe cataracts, the benefit was even greater - a 23% reduction in hip fracture risk. This comes as particu-larly good news to the elderly, since more than half of all Americans over 80 will have cataracts. This age group is also the most susceptible to falls leading to fractures and the dire consequences that may ensue. Cat-aract surgery potentially provides them with a double advantage.

As we age, seeing clearly can help us prevent falls that may lead to bone fractures and the loss of inde-pendence. Although there is no way to prevent the development of cata-racts, loss of sight from the disease is largely preventable. Early detec-tion and treatment of cataracts can help preserve your vision. Please call us at 952-492-2350 to schedule a comprehensive eye health exami-nation that includes screening for cataracts. Our office is located at 223 E. First Street, Suite 101. We accept most vision insurances.

P.S. Vision impairment is known to be a primary causative factor for falls that lead to bone fractures among the elderly.

job of redecorating his display room and office in time for the showing of the new 1953 fords.The Santa Anonymous christ-

mas party put on by the P.T.A. was a success. Mr. Tillquist de-livered 75 gifts the following day.farmers in the area purchased

oranges and grapefruit from “travelling salesmen” at a cost of $14.50 a case. After realiz-ing that they had been “taken,” they called the sheriff, but the fruit trucks, with Oklahoma li-cense plates, were nowhere to be found. Local merchants said the same fruit could be bought for around $6 and still make a fair profit.Mrs. frank Ruppert Jr., life-

long resident of the Jordan community, died at her home at the age of 57.It was heart-breaker for Dave

congratulations to senior basketball player Haley Fogarty who reached the 1,000 career point mark earlier this season. Haley was recognized for her accomplishment at the home game vs LeSueur-Henderson on Friday night. Great job, Haley!In this Sunday’s StarTribune newspaper, Dane Smith, president of

Growth & Justice, a progressive policy research organization focused on reducing economic inequality in Minnesota, presented a case in support of our Minnesota public schools and the accomplishments we have made in spite of significant obstacles. Below is a portion of that article which may be found in full at: http://www.startribune.com/opinion/commentaries/182545051.html?page=1&c=y. . . On the bottom lines of price, costs and outputs, three megatrends

contradict the notion that Minnesota public schools are failing their huge complement of some 830,000 students. The megatrends show that over the last 10 to 20 years, with (1) a smaller percentage of our dollars and (2) a much poorer and costlier student body, public schools in Minnesota have (3) held their own and even slightly improved at least some test scores.A case could be made that our schools are not failing at all but per-

forming heroically.Less money (relatively) - The first trend to grasp is that our total

school investment is stagnant, and actually has fallen sharply as a percentage of our ability to pay for it. At the very least, school spend-ing most certainly is not "out of control.''Total school district revenues as a percent of our total state personal

income has declined, from a high of about 5 cents of each dollar in 1995 to a projected 4 cents in 2014, reflecting a general trend toward a lower overall "price of government" in Minnesota.One penny less on the dollar may not seem like a lot, but 1 percent-

age point of personal income amounts to about $2.5 billion less for schools each year than if we had sustained the all-time-high effort of the mid-1990s. . . .More challenging pupils - . . . there can be little debate that

Minnesota's student population has become costlier and more difficult to educate. The percentage of public school students living in poverty or near poverty, measured by whether their families qualify for the "free and reduced'' lunch and breakfast benefit, jumped by more than a third -- by a whopping 10 percentage points -- in just the last decade, from 27 to 37 percent.At the same time, the percentage of non-white and new immigrant

public school students, many from households where English is a second language or not spoken, also rose sharply. In just the last 10 years, the percentage of non-white enrollment rose by nearly 40 per-cent. This complexion change in our student body and our state will continue apace. In the latest census, 30 percent of kids under the age of 5 were non-white. . . .Results to build upon - Despite these gigantic new challenges, our

public schools are still delivering the goods. With fewer resources and more students in need of special help, Minnesota schools have lifted National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) test scores in three of four categories since the late 1990s, during a period when the Bush administration began a monumental push for standardized national testing.Of course, these scores -- and current graduation rates -- are not near-

ly good enough, especially in an economy that increasingly requires more knowledge, better math skills and well-rounded students who can solve problems with a sophisticated set of skills."We're just not accepting true reality if we think we can continue

to get great results with this 'do more with less' trend we've become accustomed to,'' Education commissioner Brenda cassellius says. "And doing with less is no longer an option if we want world-class schools. Student demographics are changing, workforce demands are changing, and the world in which we're competing is changing. If we don't find smarter ways to better fund our schools, ways that set up every student for success, Minnesota is destined to slip to just average among states...and nobody wants an average return on their investment.''As always, if you have any questions about school matters, please

Carver CountyHistorical Society Visiting Old-Time ChristmasThe carver county Historical

Society is hosting a visit to pio-neer christmas-past Dec. 15 at its headquarters in Waconia.Guests will learn how the

settlers celebrated christmas. Activities include making old-fashioned ornaments, gifts from a simpler time, sharing stories from christmas on the prairie while enjoying hot cocoa.The no-cost event runs from

noon to 3 p.m. at the society’s headquarters at 555 First Av-enue West in downtown Waco-nia.

Sibley County’sHuman ServicesUnder Budget So FarAlthough there’s still another

six weeks in the calendar year, Sibley county’s human servic-es is in the black for 2012.By Oct. 1, the county’s human

services spending was at 71 percent of the budgeted amount for that point in the year while revenue was at 77 percent of where it should be for 2012, ac-cording to vicki Stock, director of Sibley county Public Health and Human Services.Part of the reason for the posi-

tive outlook was the influx of $1.1 million when the county merged its public health and human services budgets Jan. 1.Sibley county has 963 resi-

dents receiving medical ben-efits, a 33.2 percent increase over 2011. The 963 figure does not include county residents on the state’s health care coverage plan, Minnesotacare.Residents receiving benefits

from the food stamps/SNAP program remain at record lev-els. There are 406 cases this year. The record low was 92 cases in January, 2001.

Going to Scott County District

Court?You Will be

ScannedIf you’re heading into the Scott

county Justice center for a court hearing or meeting with a mem-ber of the court administration, community corrections county attorney staffs, be prepared to be electronically scanned and have your purse potentially searched.Last week, Scott county im-

plemented its plan to enhance security in the Justice center, the building west of the Gov-ernment center that houses the state district court, community corrections and court adminis-tration functions. The plan in-cludes a scanner people entering the building must walk through. The county also OK’d the pur-chase earlier this year of addi-tional cameras and electronic locks and push bar door alarms. The equipment purchased from Rapiscan Systems cost $75,500 including optional software plus additional training.The enhanced security at the

Scott county Justice center is in response to concerns from district court judge and court ad-ministration staff. After a court-house shooting last December in cook county, Minn., judges again raised about possible vio-lence triggered by high-profile cases. county Administrator Gary Shelton also noted during a workshop earlier this year that high-stress family court cases are also a possibility for violence.

students interested in careers in agriculture, ag. finance, forest-ry, natural resources, forestry, natural resources, nutrition and food services.The school board is looking at

the creation of an agricultural career academy in those areas starting next fall. Superinten-dent Matt Helgerson said the school has all the tools avail-able to it – a strong agriculture department, a school garden and nearby forest. Director Liz Krocak said the academy could potentially complement the school’s FFA program. She

also likes the idea of additional benefits with math and English studies.Krocak also hopes the program

would have crossover benefits, providing students with a broad view of the world.TCU Principal Alan Fitterer

is looking at potential class op-tions for the 2013-14 school year. He said neighboring school districts that do not of-fer an ag. academy has students interested in the proposed TCU academy.The district is seeking grants

to fund the program.-- Montgomery Messenger

Jordan FindsReplicating History Can be ExpensiveThe cost of salvaging and re-

storing the historic railings as part of the restoration of the Rice Street Bridge over Sand Creek in Jordan is a costly proj-ect. The city has already spent about $75,000 salvaging and installing historic railings from the venerable bridge.So far, the city has written

checks worth approximately $383,000 to the contractor, S.M. Hentges & Sons of Jordan. The most recent payment primar-ily covered steel and concrete for the bridge’s abutment and piers. The state is paying much of the $959,000 project.Other elements of the proj-

ect costs include removing the bridge, almost $59,000; traffic

control, $5,100; pedestrian sig-nage (railroad bridge), $219.42 and 26 square feet of brick pav-ers, $247.The Great Depression-era

bridge was built in 1936 using recycled steel. It is the primary link between downtown Jordan, the Mini Met baseball park and other park facilities.A post-35W bridge collapse

inspection determined the bridge was woefully insuffi-cient, receiving a score of 32.5 on a 100-point scale. The city’s engineer said the bridge was still safe for cars and pedestri-ans, but not for heavy trucks.S.M. Hentges should complete

the project this spring.-- Jordan Independent

Carver Planning on Growth With an Eye on Its Pastcarver Mayor Greg Osterdyk

recently told a meeting of the SouthWest Metro Area cham-ber of commerce his city is looking forward to growth in the years to come. But expan-sion will not come, he said, at the expense of the city’s heri-tage.Osterdyk -- along with chas-

ka’s Mark Windschitl, Victo-ria’s Herschberger Thun and chanhassen’s Tom furlong -- was one of four eastern carver county mayors to address an audience at a recent chamber meeting. He said carver is working to blend the future and the past. Fleet Farm is the first

in a series of retail develop-ments in a 100-acre span along Highway 212 the city wants to develop in a thoughtful man-ner.The city is also working on de-

velopment of a 400-stall park-and-ride facility, starting with an open-air lot near the junction of Highway 212 and county Road 11 next year. The city also enjoyed 33 hous-

ing starts in 2012 and began accepting payments via credit card, a move that prompted Os-terdyk to quip, “We finally got into the 1990s,” he said.

B.P. Schools Satisfied With New Teacher Evaluation PlanSmith: District’s Plan ‘Pretty Close’ to New State LawAs it moves towards meeting

the new principal and teacher accountability laws requiring the annual evaluation of new and veteran teachers, the Belle Plaine School District and its unionized principals and teach-ers are generally pleased with the system as they wait for the final details of implementation.The new law mandates the

annual formal evaluation of all teachers beginning July 1, 2015. The law says adminis-trators – Belle Plaine’s three building principals -- will be formally evaluated once a year beginning July 1, 2014. The final details of the law’s implementation will be out this spring, said Belle Plaine School District Superintendent Kelly Smith.Despite the July 1, 2015 date,

Smith already performs formal and informal evaluations of the school district’s three building principals. The district already began the annual formal evalu-ations of its teachers.Previously, teachers who had

earned tenure faced formal evaluation of their work once every three years, “Unless there were areas of concern,” that could include areas like class-room discipline or stagnant academic improvement of stu-dents, Smith said. The district annually conducts three formal observations (reviews) of non-tenured teachers.About 95 of the Belle Plaine

School District’s 115 teachers are tenured. Jerold Stauffacher, president of the Belle Plaine

Education Association, the dis-trict’s teachers’ union, said the BPEA supports the evaluation plan.Smith said retirements of

tenured teaching staff and the district’s growth has afforded it the benefits of younger, less experienced and less-expensive teachers. The new law allows the school

board and representative of the teachers to jointly agree on an annual process for evaluating probationary and tenured teach-ers. If the board and union can’t agree, state law requires the dis-trict use the process developed by the Minnesota commission-er of Education and specified education stakeholders.“This is not about ‘gotcha.

It’s about us all getting better, teachers administrators and stu-dents,” Smith said.

‘Descriptive Feedback’The evaluation process that all

three Belle Plaine schools use emphasizes the process of im-provement involving teachers and administrators in generat-ing descriptive feedback and in discussing teaching and learn-ing.She has been the lead member

of the district’s administrative team in implementation of the evaluations.“I think this process provides

and increases joint accountabil-ity in administrators spending more time in the classrooms, teachers reflecting about their teaching, reflective, ongoing dialogue that includes, but is not limited to feedback, con-versations about instruction, planning and assessment, and data collection,” she said.The law says the reviews

should develop, improve and support qualified teachers and improve student learning and

success. The annual evaluations for probationary teachers must include a three-year review cy-cle that includes a growth and development plan, peer review, the opportunity to participate in a professional learning commu-nity and at least one evaluation performed by a trained evalua-tor.They must also be based on

professional teaching stan-dards, be based on outcomes of staff development, allow for mentoring from other teachers. The new evaluations must also allow the teacher to present a portfolio including evidence of self-reflection and profes-sional growth, a performance assessment and data on student growth.currently, the state is con-

sidering using test results as 35 percent of the evaluation, a number Smith said the state has yet to finalize.The new law requires districts

to provide teachers not meeting professional standards time and support toward improvement. It permits districts to discipline teachers who do not adequately improve.Oak crest Principal Liann

Hanson said the veteran and non-veteran teachers at Oak crest, have been receptive to the new system. “They have done a fantastic

job talking about their learn-ing and what they would like to work on each year. I have been impressed with the work that the Oak crest teachers have done to continually move forward in their practice,” she said. “All of the Oak Crest staff has been very positive with this observation change.”Hanson said the teachers at

Chatfield Elementary and the junior-senior high school also started the new evaluation sys-tem last year. “It has been re-ceived very positively as well. The junior high-senior high school started the process this year and it is going well too.”

For the first time in 37 years, there won’t be a Gruetzmacher representing the Belle Plaine area on the Scott county Soil and Water conservation Dis-trict (SWcD) Board of Super-visors.Ewald Gruetzmacher, who was

selected to the district 1 board seat following the retirement of his father Wilmer in 1997, de-cided not to seek reelection this fall. He will end his 15-year run on the board Dec. 31. Wilmer held the position from 1975 to 1996. The Gruetzmachers are longtime Belle Plaine farmers.Doug Schoenecker, who re-

cently retired following over 30 years as a staff member in the Scott SWCD office, decided he didn’t want to step out of the business altogether.“He (Schoenecker) called me

and asked if I was going to run (for reelection). I said ‘no, if you do run, you’re running by your-self,’” said Ewald, adding that he has held the job long enough and it is time to let someone else do it. “He (Schoenecker) knows all the ropes and he will be a good supervisor.”Schoenecker ran unopposed

for the job in November and will assume his duties in Janu-ary.Ewald said his family will not

abandon the rain gauge that

for many years as served as the county’s official measuring stick for the Belle Plaine area, which he said has been his wife Adella’s endeavor through the years. It has nothing to do with his job on the board.“She does all that by herself,”

Ewald said.Ewald attended Belle Plaine

High School in the mid-1950s but left before graduating to help tend to the family farm. Adella graduated from Hen-derson High School in 1958 and married Ewald a year later. They served as grand marshals of the 2000 Belle Plaine Ger-man Days and 2009 Bar-B-Q Days parades.Besides tending to his large

farm of corn, soybeans and

cattle, Ewald has stayed active in the community, including his many years of service to Bar-B-Q Days.Since 1941, the Scott Soil and

Water conservation District, based in St. Lawrence Town-ship, has “helped Scott county citizens protect and preserve land and water resources.” It works directly with landowners and agencies.The Scott SWcD is led by a

five-person board of supervi-sors that guides and directs the district in the implementation of goals and objectives set forth in the district’s annual work plan. Supervisors are elected by Scott county residents and serve four-year terms. Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month.Ewald said he seldom consid-

ered his job as a supervisor to be difficult.“The one thing that is hard is

when you have to hire a new manager (for district staff). “You interview them and then you have to decide who the best person for the job is,” Ewald said.Ewald’s position on the board

oversees the district’s mission for Helena, Belle Plaine and Blakeley townships, and parts of the cities of Belle Plaine and New Prague.

Ewald Gruetzmacher to Bid Farewell to Scott Soil and Water Conservation Board

Scott County Offering Residents Access to Notification SystemThe Scott county Sheriff’s

Office is seeking the names and contact information of people who wish to be notified of a local emergency via the new CodeRED high-speed notifica-tion system that provides city and county officials the abil-ity to quickly deliver messages via telephone, text, or e-mail to individuals in the system or an entire city or county. There are several types of

situations which could lead to a notification from CodeRED, including missing kids or vul-nerable adults, evacuations, im-minent threats to public safety or health, wildfires, road clo-sures, utility outages, water main breaks, tornados, flash floods, or thunderstorm warn-ings, said chris Weldon, Scott county’s director of emergency management.Systems like codeRED are

only as good as the telephone number database supporting them: “If your phone number is not in the database, you will not be called,” Weldon said.One of the reasons the co-

deRED system was selected

is that it gives individuals and businesses the ability to add their own telephone phone numbers directly into the sys-tem’s database, which is an ex-tremely important feature.“No one should automatically

assume his or her phone num-ber is included,” Weldon said, urging all individuals and busi-nesses to log onto Scott coun-ty’s Web site -- www.co.scott.mn.us -- and look for the Co-deRED logo.People who want to register

HOW MUCH RETIREMENT INCOME WILL YOU REALLY NEED?Many people underestimate lifestyle

costs, medical expenses and inflation.

What is enough? What is not enough? If you’re considering re-tiring in the near future, you’ve probably heard or read that you need about 70% of your end salary to live comfortably in retire-ment. This estimate is frequently repeated … but that doesn’t mean it is true for everyone. It may not be true for you.

You won’t learn how much retirement income you’ll need by reading this article. You’ll want to meet with a qualified retire-ment planner who can help you plan to estimate your lifestyle needs and short-term and long-term expenses.

That said, there are some factors which affect retirement in-come needs – and too often, they go unconsidered. Health. Most of us will face a major health problem at some point in our lives – perhaps even multiple or chronic health problems. We don’t want to think about that reality. But if you’re a new retiree, think for a moment about the costs of prescription medicines, and recurring treatment for chronic ail-ments. These minor and major costs can really take a bite out of retirement income, even with a great health care plan. While generics have slowed the advance of prescription drug costs to about 1-2% a year recently,1 one estimate found that a 65-year-old who retired in 2007 would need $215,000 to pay for overall retirement health care costs – up about 7.5% from 2006.2 Heredity. If you come from a family where people frequently live into their 80s and 90s, you may live as long or longer. Imag-ine retiring at 55 and living to 95 or 100. You would need 40-45 years of steady retirement income. Portfolio. Many people retire with investment portfolios they haven’t reviewed in years, with asset allocations that may no longer be appropriate. New retirees sometimes carry too much risk in their portfolios, with the result being that the retire-ment income from their investments fluctuates wildly with the

vagaries of the market. Other retirees are super-conservative investors: their portfolios are so risk-averse that they can’t earn enough to keep up with even moderate inflation, and over time, they find they have less and less purchasing power. Spending habits. Do you only spend 70% of your salary? Prob-ably not. If you’re like many Americans, you probably spend 90% or 95% of it. Will your spending habits change drastically once you retire? Again, probably not. Most people only change spending habits in response to economic necessity or in pur-suit of new financial goals. People don’t want to “live on less” once they have had “more”. Social Security (or lack thereof). In 2005, SSI represented 39% of a typical 65-year-old retiree’s income. But by 2030, So-cial Security may only replace 29% of that income, after deduc-tions for Medicare premiums and income taxes. Since 1983, retirees earning more than $25,000 in SSI have had to pay income tax on a portion of their benefits.3 This is all presuming Social Security is still around in 2030. So will you have enough? When it comes to retirement in-come, a casual assumption may prove to be woefully inaccu-rate. Meet with a qualified retirement planner while you are still working to discuss these factors and estimate how much you will really need.

latter quickly adjusted and then fired off his own super duck to the opposite side for the 3-1 match-winning take down and ride out.At 152 pounds, Eden Prairie’s

#10-rated Chase Monger won a 17-6 major decision over Shane Abraham. That match would precede the second feature match of the night as a pair of #2-rated wrestlers did battle at 160 pounds. It would be a rock-solid performance by Panther Andrew Fogarty as he worked his way to a 3-0 shutout win over Eden Prairie’s Matt Grib-ben. Fogarty recorded a first period take down, a second pe-riod escape and a third period ride out.“It was a classic Andrew Fog-

arty match,” suggests Ripley. “He stayed in good position and didn’t give his opponent anything, including no points.”In the following match at 170,

points were all over the mat as Scott West’s Derek Dahlke made his season debut after not wrestling on the opening week-end at the Lakeville North Invi-tational. After losing the open-ing take down, Dahlke lit up the scoreboard with a reversal and a pair of three-point near falls on his way to a 15-11 win.“It was great to have Derek

back in the line up,” insists Rip-ley. “I really like the way he put up 15 points but we are going to have to work on not giving up the 11.”Jake Schultz worked his way

to a 3-3 tie through two periods before giving up a third period escape to trail 4-3 in the third to Eden Prairie’s Nate Becker at 182 pounds. However, when Becker got in on Schultz’s leg for a take down attempt, the lat-ter would use an under hook to power through his opponent and take him his to his back where he kept him for the remainder of the match and an 8-4 win.Eden Prairie won the final three

matches of the meet as Travis cripe earned a hard-fought 8-6 decision over Ray carter at 195, Farhan Mohamed won a 13-5 major decision over Willie Staples III, who was making his Scott West varsity debut, and Erik Dunn scored a third period pin over Danny McDonnell at heavyweight.Following the 34-17 win

over Eden Prairie, the Panthers traveled to Hutchinson for an early-season Section 2AA quad as they wrestled three section foes on Friday night.The Panthers started the night

with a 62-12 win over Mankato East and a 74-0 shutout of New Ulm that was capped by the varsity debut of ninth grade heavyweight Josiah Schatz, and what a debut it was. The big 6-5, 280-pounder made his debut just as big as he took senior Andy Bregel down late in the second period for a 2-0 lead, and when the New Ulm wrestler chose neutral to start the third period, Schatz took him down for a second time and then turned him over with a half-nelson for the referee pin fall call at five minutes. “That was big,” exclaims

coach Ripley. “That was really big.”Another big match of the night

was the nightcap as #4-rated Scott West would square off against the #8-rated Hutchinson on their home mat.Piche would get the Panthers

off to a good start with a 6-4 win over Dylan Pundsack at 106 pounds, but Hutchinson evened the score when Logan Wadsworth scored a 6-2 deci-sion over Kelvington at 113 pounds.At 120 pounds, Flynn made

quick work of Jayden Macke-danz with a take down and bar-arm pin at 1:17. Hutchinson’s Riley Drew got some of those team points back as he used six take downs to record a 12-3 major decision over Backlund at 126 pounds. At 132 pounds, Siegle followed teammate Flynn’s template as he made quicker work of Logan Sonder-gaard with a take down and bar-arm pin at 50 seconds.Scott West’s success contin-

ued as Jake Weierke picked up his third win on the night when he bettered Hutchinson’s Luke Pundsack 10-4.Everybody in the Hutchinson

House was looking forward to the feature match of the night as #3 Zilverberg took on #4 Eric Madson, with both wrestlers having individual state medals to their credit. Zilverberg struck first with a nice low-level at-tack and first period take down that gave him a 2-1 lead going into the second period. After a reversal and a 4-2 lead for the Panther wrestler, Zilverberg scored a second take down with another low-level attack and a 6-2 lead. Leading 6-3 in the third period, Zilverberg stayed on the attack and scored his third take down of the match with a fireman’s carry and an 8-4 win.“That was an impressive

match from start to finish by Luke,” insists Ripley. “I really liked the way that he stayed on the attack and scored points on a hard wrestler to score points on.”

Wrestling(continued from page 17)

Zilverberg’s win gave Scott West a 21-7 and Hutchinson sent out another hard-nosed wrestler in #7-rated Chris Schmidt, who delivered an 18-3 technical fall win over Abra-ham at 152 pounds.Scott West did not have to

bring any fight to the next two weight classes as Hutchinson forfeited to junior Ryan Menton at 160 and sophomore Fogarty at 170. With the forfeits, Scott West took a 33-12 lead into the match at 182 and that is where junior Dahlke would fight his way to a hard-fought 5-0 win.That secured the team vic-

tory for Scott West and the only question remaining was what kind of fight would the Panther upper weights bring to the mat. At 195 pounds, Schultz

fought his way to a scoreless tie through two periods before surrendering a reversal with a three-point near fall in the third period and a 5-1 loss to Gannon Jordahl. Hutchinson’s Jake Filk won a 10-0 major decision over carter at 220 pounds.

The meet would come to a close with an encore perfor-mance by Schatz as the Scott West freshman battled his way to his second big pin fall on the night. He took a 2-1 lead into the third period against Mitch Sims, and when Schatz scored the take down, he followed with a half-nelson as he drove Sims to his back for the meet-ending pin at 4:33 and a 42-19 Scott West team win.“A great way to close out the

meet and a great way for Josiah to start his Scott West career,” states Ripley. “I think that our three upper weights brought some good fight to the mat to-night.”Scott West will be at the

prestigious Minnesota christ-mas Tournament this weekend in Rochester with wrestling beginning at 2 p.m. Friday and 9:30 a.m. Saturday. “It will be another showcase of

Minnesota’s wrestling talent,” insists Ripley. “The brackets will be loaded with many of the state’s top wrestlers.”

Belle Plaine Wins Two of Three by Dan RuudThe Belle Plaine High School

girls’ basketball team had an eventful second week of the season as it came out on the long and short ends of two close games (defeating Glencoe-Sil-ver Lake 58-54 on Tuesday and losing to Mound-Westonka 64-59 in overtime on Thursday) before trouncing Le Sueur-Henderson 65-29 on Friday.The Tigers, 1-0 in the Min-

nesota River Conference, 3-2 overall, were scheduled to travel to Watertown-Mayer for a MRC game Tuesday night after this edition of the Her-ald went to press. Next up are MRC games at Sibley East this Thursday and at home against Mayer Lutheran next Tuesday. Both tips are scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Tigers 58, Glencoe-SL 54The Tigers trailed 30-28 at

halftime but rallied in the sec-ond half for the four-point win.

Belle Plaine senior Haley Fogarty scored 18 of her game-high 25 points in the second half. Fellow senior Claire Otto was also in double figures with 15 points. The rest of the team combined for 18 points, includ-ing Ellie Murphy (6), Mari-ena Hayden (4), Amara Meyer (4), Jamie Read (2) and Emily Vinkemeier (2).Meyer led Belle Plaine in re-

bounds with seven, followed by Hayden with six and Fogarty five. Meyer and Vinkemeier both had four. Otto had three steals, while Fogarty and Read both had four assists.“This was a very good win

for us against a quality team,” said Tigers coach Randy Carl-son. “We were ahead early and went into a spell where we did not play well and got behind at the half. We came out in the second half and took it to them and held on to win . . . Haley Fogarty had a huge second half

and Jamie Read was outstand-ing on defense as she limited a 6-0 Division I prospect (senior Clarissa Ober) to 18 points and that was probably the key to this game for us.”

Mound-W. 64, Tigers 59The Tigers rallied again from

a first-half deficit but this time folded down the stretch and in overtime as the White Hawks won by five. The Tigers turned a nine-point

halftime deficit (36-27) into a six-point lead late in the game before Mound-Westonka got hot and Belle Plaine turned cold again. But the Tigers heat-ed back up just in time to turn a four-point deficit into a tie score and have the ball and a chance to win with 13 seconds left to play. But a mistake at the foul line that cost the Tigers a point sent the contest into overtime, during which the White Hawks outscored their visitors 8-3.“Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda.

This was a game of runs,” Carl-son said. “We played our worst half of basketball so far in the first half. The second half was better . . . This was a tough loss but we got better and learned some things about ourselves. It’s a long season. We’ll win these games in February and March.”Fogarty (20) and Otto (19)

again accounted for more than half of the Tigers’ points. Hayden chipped in six, followed by Murphy and Read with five apiece. Meyer and Kalli Koepp both had two. Hayden had eight rebounds, while Fogarty and Meyer both had seven.

Tigers 65, LS-H 29To say LS-H has struggled

so far this season would be an understatement and those woes continued in Friday night’s Minnesota River Conference opener at the BPHS gym, which was won by the Tigers 65-29.The Giants’ 29 points matched

their season high through the first four games. They were out-scored 267-101 in that stretch.The Tigers, who took a 36-14

lead into intermission, turned the game into an even bigger rout early in the second half.Fogarty paced Belle Plaine

with 21 points, followed by Hayden with 12 and Otto 11. Also cracking the scoring col-umn for the Tigers were Mey-er (6), Read (6), Murphy (5), Vinkemeier (2) and Abygail Meyenburg (2). Murphy had a team-high nine rebounds. Fog-arty and Read both had five steals.“I was really pleased with our

defense tonight, especially our press,” Carlson said. “Haley Fogarty and Sophie Brazil did a good job running the offense, and Mariena Hayden and Ama-ra Meyer were active inside. Aby Meyenburg played well in her first extended action.”

Fogarty’s 1,000thBefore the LS-H game, Fog-

arty was honored for scoring her 1,000th career point for Belle Plaine, a feat she put the final touches on at Waterville on Nov. 27.

started a night earlier when they doubled up Class 3A’s Eden Prairie 34-17 in Eden Prairie. Scott West rolled to a 25-0 lead by winning the first seven matches behind a Carter Piche

pin at 106, an 8-2 win by Ben Kelvington at 113, a 9-4 win by David Flynn at 120, an 8-5 win by Jacob Backlund at 126, a 3-1 Zach Siegle win at 132, a 5-0 win by Jake Weierke at 138 and a 13-5 Luke Zilverberg major decision at 145.“It was a good stretch of

Scott, Carver No Longer Among Counties With Most DWI CrashesScott and Carver counties are

no longer on a list of state-wide leaders for crashes where someone is killed or seriously injured by a drunk driver.The two counties were previ-

ously among Minnesota’s top 13 counties for severe DWI crashes. But the latest version of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety’s list for 2009-11 has the two counties no-where to be found. The top 13 include, from the top – Henne-pin, Ramsey, St. Louis, Anoka,

Dakota, Olmsted, Washington, Stearns, Wright, Sherburne, Becker, Meeker and Otter Tail counties. Scott, Carver and Rice counties fell off the list from 2012Between 2009 and 2011, the

department said the 13 coun-ties saw 160 deaths in crashes and 436 serious injuries. Law enforcement in the 13 counties saw 58,465 DWI cases. Com-pare that to 344 deaths, 860 se-rious injuries and 92,542 DWI cases in the other 74 counties

statewide.The state is also lauding the

use of seat belts in saving lives. In 2003, 257 people not wear-ing seat belts died in crashes. In 2011, 120 people not wearing seat belts died in crashes, ac-cording to the Minnesota De-partment of Public Safety.The department also reported

that in 2003, 79 percent of mo-torists surveyed wore seat belts. Last year, 94 percent of motor-ists surveyed use seat belts, the Minnesota Department of Pub-lic Safety said. Belle Plaine students among the fi nalists in the school district’s geography bee include (back
