State funding shift leaves school districts at a loss District 191 looks to borrow $20 million, District 719 sets up a line of credit BY MERYN FLUKER & ALEX HALL mfluker@swpub.com; ahall@swpub.com

Our long statewide nightmare is officially over, at least on paper. With the strokes of his pens on Wednesday morning, Gov. Mark Dayton of ficially ended the longest state government shutdown in modern history by signing a dozen

bills, giving the state of Minnesota a fi nancial roadmap for the next two fiscal years. Contention between state legislators and the governor over how to seal a $1.4 billion budget gap is what led to the shutdown. The two parties reached middle ground through a move to issue about $700 million worth of bonds from the state’s to-

bacco settlement. The remaining amount, which totals about $ 700 million, will come from the largest venue for the state’s expenditures: Kindergarten through 12th grade education. The state will divert $700 million in aid for K-12 education through a funding shift, giving districts 60 percent of allocated funds for the next

fi scal year and pledging to provide the remaining 40 percent at some point in the future. Funding shifts have in recent years become a popular alternative for the state to beef up its budget without technically cutting education. In the middle part of the last decade, when the economic picture was considerably rosier, Minnesota

school districts were funded at a ratio of 90:10. This meant that they received 90 percent of their allocated funding from the state during the fiscal year, and the remaining 10 percent would be paid the following year, simply due to the fact that funding is determined by the amount of students enrolled

Man indicted for making fake postage stamps

Bidding adieu to old fire hall At one time, it was the hub of the community

t didn’t matter what you needed back in 1965, the downtown fire hall was the place to go. “If there was a big event, that’s where you went,” recalled Carol Sue Gutoske. “They’d take out the fire trucks to make room for things like civic dinners, the fireman’s dances and all sorts of things.” Carol Sue’s husband, Mic, was the part-time city clerk at the time and recalled that part of his job was to take down information about fire calls when they came in, ring the bell to alert volunteer firefighters that they were needed and write down where the fire was on a blackboard in the garage. “You’d stop doing what you were doing when a fire call came in and then they’d be off to wherever they were going and you’d go back to what you were doing,” Mic said. As the part-time clerk, that might be selling a dog license or taking payments on water bills, typing up city council meeting minutes or answering questions from residents. At the time, the city of Savage was one square mile with about 2,000 residents –

A 31-year-old Prior Lake man has been indicted for manufacturing phony postage stamps that he copied and reproduced online. Andre George Mehilove (also known as Andre George Solanikov and Andrejs Solanikovs) produced the stamps on his computer from other postage meter stamps he bought online, according to an indictment fi led July 6 and unsealed this week following Mehilove’s appearance in federal court. Authorities executed a search warrant at Mehilove’s home and workplace on April 3, 2009, and seized computers, items with counterfeit postage, PayPal identity devices and online postage labels. A lengthy investigation followed. Authorities aren’t commenting at this time about the quantity of stamps produced, the length of time Mehilove was producing stamps, or what the fi nancial gain was, if any. According to David Anderson, community relations specialist for the U.S. Attorney’s Office – District of Minnesota, “Mr. Mehilove is alleged to have manufactured the larger postage labels.” Mehilove was charged with one count of manufacturing postage stamps. If convicted, he could face a maximum penalty of five years in prison.

City council requests more ﬁnancial details on sports dome BY NANCY HUDDLESTON editor@savagepacer.com

Even though it seems al l the “I’s” have been dotted and the “T’s” crossed, the Savage City Council still has not formally voted on approving a concept for a sports dome at Community Park. When the topic was discussed during a July 11 work session, more

questions lingered about the city’s financial liability. That’s because the city will need to sell at least $5 million in Economic Development Authority (EDA) lease revenue bonds to build the 80,0 0 0 -square-foot dome and 5,000-square-foot attached building. “This is a big step,” offered City Administrator Barry Stock after the meeting when asked why the project has not been formally approved yet.

“And it’s a big decision, particularly in economic times like this. People will still have trouble understanding how the Council can pull the trigger on a $5.2 million project.” It’s been nine months since the Burnsville Athletic Club (BAC), Prior Lake Athletics for Youth (P.L.A.Y) and Prior Lake Soccer Club approached the city about building an indoor sports dome. The youth sports orga-

nizations asked the city to issue lease revenue bonds to build the dome and have pledged to pay off that debt with revenues generated by renting out space. Since then, Oppidan was hired to complete a market and fi nancial analysis for the proposed project and Stanley Consultants was hired to complete a traffic study. Springsted, the city’s financial consultant, did an

analysis of the bonds and used 15-year and 25-year debt service schedules to calculate the annual payments. The study concluded the dome would generate $748,000 in annual revenue and it would cost $240,402 per year to operate the facility with a private company. The largest cost factor is the debt service payment, which

Riding the heat wave Area residents found relief from the heat and humidity last week in the outdoor pool at Life Time Fitness in Savage. On Tuesday morning, the water temperature was already at 92 degrees. Temperatures across the South Metro reached into the upper 90s on Tuesday and Wednesday with heat index levels topping out around 110 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Chanhassen. Members are admitted at no additional charge, and adults who are not members can gain access to the pool for $9.25 and $3.50 for children.

CITY COUNCIL NEWS

Ordinance regulates electrical inspections Even though the state shutdown is coming to an end, the Savage City Council went ahead Monday night (July 18) and approved an ordinance that will establish an electrical inspections program. The action comes two weeks after the City Council directed city staff to handle electrical inspections as “special inspections” until the shutdown ended. Under that scenario, builders contracted with current state electrical inspectors assigned to the Savage area at a rate of $80 per hour to complete inspections. That process allowed work to continue on projects where electrical inspections were needed to move things forward. Now that the program is in place, builders have said they are uncomfortable with the process because the city is not involved. So the ordinance will allow the city to inspect all electrical installations during the government shutdown and provides a sunset clause to revoke the ordinance when the 2011 state budget is enacted. Also since that time, Councilman Gene Abbott suggested the city do its own electrical inspections. The building inspections department is currently researching that possibility, but does not have enough information to enact that process right now.

“It seems like this (state shutdown) might be over this week and seems like a lot for us to go through,” commented Mayor Janet Williams. “The whole shutdown has been tough on the building inspection department and all the wrangling we have to do,” answered Building Official Jay Scherer, saying there might be further impacts from the shutdown into next week as state government gets up and running.

Neighborhood street bids awarded The Savage City Council awarded a neighborhood street reconstruction project Monday night (July 18) to Valley Paving. The $1.67 million bid was just below the engineer’s estimate of $1.8 million and will cover two different projects – a mill and overlay where residents will pay a $1,221 assessment and a full depth mill and overlay where residents will pay a $2,970 assessment. The mill and overlay project will take place on 136½, 136th, 137½, 137th, 140th, 141st streets, Lynn Avenue, Lynn Court, Kipling Avenue, Inglewood Avenue, Glenhurst Lane, Glenhurst Avenue and Huntington Avenue. The full depth mill and overlay project will happen on 133rd Street, 134th Lane, 136th Court, Alabama Avenue, Brunswick

Avenue, Elaine Court, Yosemite Avenue and Natchez Lane. There were five bidders for the project and Public Works Director John Powell said bid prices were “very tight” ranging from $1.67 million to $1.9 million. In addition to assessments from residents, the city will use street reconstruction bonds and water, sewer and storm water utility funds for the project.

4 Paws awarded animal control contract Animal control services will continue to be provided by 4 Paws for the next three years. The contract was approved Monday night (July 18) by the Savage City Council and runs from Aug. 1 through July 31, 2014 with an additional three-year renewal option. When the city sought bids for the contract, 4 Paws was the only proposal received. The contract is similar to past contracts with the company. Services include pickup and disposal of dead wild and domestic animals on city streets, picking up stray animals and boarding them, patrolling the community to enforce the animal control ordinance, boarding animals for bite quarantine, picking up and transporting injured animals to veterinarians, and collection of fees leveled against pet owners for ordinance violations.

e g a v Sa Business Review We’re Celebrating 6 years of life-changing results through Christianity and Chiropractic IN THEIR OWN WORDS Read about how a few of our faithful patients found Dr. Wade A Lofton and LFFC. They also explain the healing role that LFFC continues to play in their lives. I met the doctors at a community health screening. However, when I came to get my initial follow-up consult, I was skeptical, got cold feet and wanted to bail. Instead, I decided to try it. The reason I have continued coming is that I have had results that I have been able to quantify. I have consistently noticed reduced symptoms related to spring allergies and have been able to reduce and practically eliminate medications for these symptoms. I also initially came in for back pain, which I have been greatly helped with. These treatments allowed me to eliminate using a lift in my shoe. It’s always nice to know you are making a difference in the world, which is what LFFC is doing. – Glenn N. Dr. Lofton was speaking at a M.O.P.S (Mothers of Pre-Schoolers) meeting when I ﬁrst met him. I was in a lot of pain due to throwing my low back out to the point that I couldn’t tie my shoes without pain. Initially I kept coming because I was helped with overcoming this incredible back pain. Also, my infant was diagnosed with a very severe alignment issue of her pelvis and it was later

corrected 100% along with my son’s knocked knees through the neurological based care. Now I keep going because my family and I have experienced continuous good health and improved sleep when our backs are in alignment. I feel uplifted when I come to the ofﬁce with the encouraging music and prayer. You can tell God is working through the doctors at LFFC to heal people. – Sara H. and family I originally used chiropractic for my own personal headaches. We had moved back to the area and I had not seen a chiropractor in over a year. I was getting headaches again and was on the search for a new chiropractor. I received Dr. Wade Lofton’s door hanger on my front door and his ofﬁce looked like a nice, inviting, Christian environment so I came to see him. We have continued to come to LFFC because Dr. Wade is very good at educating his practice members about how the body works and how important it is to your overall health to keep yourself in alignment. Just because you may be symptom-free, it doesn’t mean there isn’t something going on. My entire family sees Dr. Wade including my three children under the age of six who have been seeing him since they were born. My oldest is in grade school and my youngest is two and goes to the Lifetime Child Center; they are both exposed to a lot of sickness.

They are very healthy children and rarely get sick. Even if they do become sick, their bodies heal abundantly faster and more efﬁciently due to the neurological based adjustments; I attribute this success to our continued care at LFFC. – Tami S. and family

A narrow path that passes under the railroad bridge has been used by pedestrians to get up Lynn Avenue for years. This fall, the city will install a permanent trail on the east side of the road that will connect to an asphalt trail at the roundabout to the south and one at the entrance of Dan Patch Trail to the north. isting railroad bridge.” And a crossing at 128th Street and Lynn was considered, but Park Board members wanted some kind of other safety measure, like a pedest rian-actuated red light. But Powell said that didn’t meet traffic warrants. Therefore, there will be no marked crosswalks on Lynn Avenue as part of the trail project. As well, there will only be one trail, on the east side of Lynn Avenue, because that can connect to a trail to the south from the roundabout and another to the north that comes out of the Dan Patch Trail neighborhood. Mayor Janet Williams said the trail has been needed for a long time, pointing out the pat hs on bot h sides of t he

road. Councilman Gene Abbott asked about the timeline to reconstruct Lynn Avenue, a project that might impact the work being done now. “I know Lynn Avenue is a ways out for reconstruction and it’s not in our five-year CIP, but how far out is it? Are we doing these corrections that will possibly be redone when Lynn is reconstructed?” Abbott asked. Powell explained the road reconstruction project of Lynn Avenue f rom 1 2 6t h St r e et south to the roundabout will include the railroad bridge replacement. He estimated the project will not take place for five or six years and the trail has been needed for “quite

A well-worn dirt path used by pedestrians and bicyclists to get up Lynn Avenue from the downtown area to McColl Drive is a testament to the old adage, “where there’s a will there’s a way.” But by fall the path will be turned into an 8-foot paved trail, complete with a guardrai l to sepa rate c a rs from pedestrians. It will also pass through the east portal of the old railroad bridge and connect to trails that currently dead end to t he nor t h and south of the bridge. Public Works Director John Powell told the Savage City Council Monday night (July 18) that a study commissioned to evaluate how to get a trail in the narrow corridor took i nto consideration severa l challenges: the narrowness of the road, pedestrian safety and natural springs that run continuously in the drainage ditches on both sides of the rural two-lane road. In terms of overall pedestrian safety along Lynn Avenue in the entire downtown area, the possibility of an underpass b ene at h t he road at 1 2 9 t h Street was also evaluated. But last fall, when the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Board looked that study results about that option, it was deemed too expensive because of technical adjustments that would have to be made to deal with storm water drainage. So, Park Board members asked for other crosswalk options to get pedestrians from the west side of Lynn Avenue to the east side and onto the paved trail. Powel l said a crosswa l k at 129th and Lynn was “not desirable due to site distance constraints related to the ex-

TO LEGISLATORS

Furious about payment delays to schools I write to you as a teacher in love with children and teaching, but I am furious. Let me offer a prelude to my fury. At no time do I think I have ever given less than 100 percent talent, time and treasure to our parents, children, and staff at M.W. Savage Elementary School in District 191. I both welcome and value being evaluated three times a year. Our principal, Jeremy Willey, would find it hard to know who to fire in our school because our staff commitment, in my opinion, is remarkable. I teach with teachers who believe in quality, caring and accountability as much as most taxpayers. Further, I am not a teacher with luxurious benefits referred to in a political advertisement. When I retire, I will not receive a severance because our district has a two-tier compensation package (as do many companies). Teachers hired after 1989 receive neither severance nor ongoing health insurance privilege. Because of budget constraints, our district recently cut over 100 teachers and many, many educational assistants. These cuts will affect every child, teacher and parent. Against this backdrop, last week’s answer to our budget woes sent me into an angry tailspin. 1. Presently schools receive 70 percent of their normal payments with a 30 percent delay and now there is a proposal whereby schools will only receive 60 percent of their normal payments with a 40 percent delay. Districts like Roseville and District 196 (Rosemount/Apple Valley/Eagan) are taking out loans to cover these

shifts. Soon Burnsville/Eagan/Savage may follow the fate of other districts. I am left furious about these payment delays, because payback to the schools comes years later. About the shift, one representative said, “Now with 60/40, when do we plan to pay back the schools … in the next century?” 2. If it is true that one-fourth of our Minnesota population is age 18 and younger (at one time we had 40 percent of our population 18 and younger) what can we be thinking by not supporting our youth? Shifting money away from schools is shifting money away from children. These shifts shock and madden me for I believe: I Our children are our silver and gold futures. Too many are blind to our children’s wealth and, sadly, take advantage of their voiceless status. I In the end, both Republican and Democrat, young and old, rich and poor, weak and strong will profit from our children’s excellent education. 3. Further, according to an article in the Star Tribune (July 9: “Schools likely to bear brunt of budget fix”) “Fitch Ratings cited the state’s school shifts as a key factor in its downgrade of Minnesota’s bond rating …” In short, the shift is penny wise and pound foolish. With one side of your mouth you go around telling people how much you value education, want quality schools, want to close the achievement gap, want ALL children reading well by the end of third grade, and with the other side of your mouth you support a larger money delay. Finally, it is a lie to proclaim that a $50 per pupil increase in funding will help school districts with short-term borrowing costs. Delays are cuts to our children’s education … pure and simple. Delays are NOT increased spending. Angry yet trying to be respectful.

BASEBALL SEASON

Players gained conﬁdence, maturity The Burnsville Athletic Committee (BAC) has concluded another successful baseball season with their Championship Weekend held July 15-18 at Alimagnet Park in Burnsville. Baseball players from second grade through high school got to play in a playoff format, had their games announced, and got trophies or medals for their play. The BAC in-house baseball volunteers put in countless hours to make this a thrilling weekend for these kids, many of whom will never get to play in any other kind of tournament. They also foster leadership and responsibility in youth by allowing boys as young as 13 to act as umpires in the games throughout the season. I’ve seen growth in confidence and maturity in my own son as he acted as umpire for second- and third-grade Squirts – enough that he felt he didn’t need to back down to coaches who didn’t like his calls. The responsibility for a program like this that makes it clear that the umpire is in control of the game, even when it is a 14-year old boy, belongs to the entire organization: coaches, committee, volunteers and parents. I want to publicly thank the BAC, and especially the in-house baseball committee, for another year of a job well done, and for encouraging sportsmanship, leadership and maturity in our youth.

He looked like Jesus, only down on his luck. While driving to lunch, I passed a man who looked like the sketch in my childhood Bible, only his long brown hair was in a ponytail and he was walking Marschall Road in street clothes in the middle of a workday. The image stuck in my mind and I wondered what his story might be. A few days later I was facing the same man while serving food for Loaves and Fishes in the kitchen of St. Mark’s Catholic Church. It was strangely humbling to encounter him again. It’s easy to wonder about somebody and just keep on driving; it’s another thing to truly be face-to-face. I had long scorned the idea of volunteering in a soup kitchen. It seemed so clichéd … something wealthy families do on holidays or church youth groups do to teach teenagers their lives aren’t so bad. My only experience with a soup kitchen was being dropped off on a scary-looking Minneapolis street corner 15 years ago to serve meals with my confirmation class from rural Carver County. But when one of my co-workers wrote a story a year ago about the Loaves and Fishes organization coming to Shakopee, I was intrigued. We all know local families struggling to survive after the loss of a job. It seemed so much more meaningful to serve someone who might live down the street than someone I’ll never meet again in downtown Minneapolis. So when my young professionals group, ShakopeeConnect, was looking for philanthropic opportunities, I suggested Loaves and Fishes. The organization was serving supper Tuesdays and Thursdays each week and has since

added Mondays. It has grown from serving 30 people to an average of 115. While many local churches take a day of the month to help out, some nights they need community members to fill in the gaps. Our group offered to take a night. I didn’t know what to expect. We had to plan a meal for 120 people and purchase all the food. We decided on fajitas, figuring that’s not a meal most teams would serve. (Perhaps with good reason.) I had never planned a meal for more than two people. Thankfully, the Shakopee School District food service manager estimated how much we should prepare. A dozen from our group volunteered to cook and serve the meal, even though we didn’t know what we were doing. I was grateful for the strong hands that cut the frozen meat I had forgotten in the freezer over Memorial Day weekend, working to the last minute. Most teams have this down pat. A few weeks later, I took photos of Loaves and Fishes volunteers from St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Savage. Having served for years at another Loaves site, the group had its baked chicken and potatoes

done with time to spare. They joked around, reminding me of the women’s circles at my parents’ church. It was not an inexpensive endeavor and we were fortunate Walmart and Cub Foods gave us generous discounts. Taco Loco prepared our rice, beans and chips. Cedar Summit Farm in Helena Township offered its popular grassfed, organic milk. (To which one middle school-aged boy commented that it tasted good, but different. “It must be because there’s no chemicals,” he suggested.) Asking for donations wasn’t an enjoyable task, but neither is showing up for a free meal. About a third of people Loaves serves are seniors, who come for companionship as much as the food. There are also families with children, single men and adults with developmental disabilities. Loaves does not feel like a soup kitchen but more like a church luncheon. Seniors, who show up early for coffee and to visit, are welcomed by greeters into the church basement. Site coordinator Keith Chellsen called those we served our guests and encouraged us to sit and visit after we finished serving the meal. I did so and enjoyed it, discovering that Loaves is more than a soup kitchen. It’s a way to know your community on a different level, to break bread with your neighbors and to connect with others who care.

COMMUNITY VOICES

What’s here now might be gone tomorrow In the summer of 2002, I was in full-blown wedding planning mode. My fiancé and I knew we wanted a small wedding with German influence, and as luck would have it, my hometown of New Ulm was rich with choices. We spent the better part of our summer meandering through Schell’s gardens, climbing Hermann the German with its panoramic views, touring the German Park pavilion and exploring historic homes – some of which were comparable to something you’d find on Summit Avenue in St. Paul. The most notable home we toured was The Bohemian, an 1899-built, stunning, three-story white Victorian situated on the corner of German and Third streets. Its glass-enclosed, wrap-a-round veranda, diamond-gridded windows and carriage house were beyond charming, and I was instantly drawn to it as a prospective venue. I’d been past the house thousands of times over my lifetime and always found it remarkably beautiful. Though it was a permanent structure in the New Ulm landscape, The Bohemian just opened as a bed and breakfast that year. So I called the proprietor, Bobbi McCrea, and scheduled an appointment. Bobbi greeted us at the door wearing a broad smile and a dirndl dress. While this might seem unusual to some, in New Ulm, such German costumery raises few eyebrows. We lingered in the front porch, summarizing the purpose of our visit, but really imbibing the grandeur of the place. I remember climbing and descending the open staircase with its rich, dark wood balustrade and stained-glass windows, envisioning my walk down the “aisle” in this historic home. I recall Bobbi’s easygoing manner during our tour, as she talked to us about how guests who entered simply need make themselves at home. Her enthusiasm for the home, her business, and her desire to give her guests a true German

experience when they stayed at The Bohemian was evident. Clearly, this was her life-long dream. For reasons too numerous to rehash, our wedding was moved to the cities. Yet, every time I go to New Ulm, I drive by The Bohemian, often because it is around the corner from a locale I frequent in town. And I still find myself slowing my car when I pass, eyeing it in the same awestruck way I always have. In doing so, I’ve often thought how lucky Bobbi was to be able to live in such a beautiful structure, such a historic landmark, on one of New Ulm’s most beautiful streets. And how fun her work must be! I’ve often wondered what it would have been like to have gotten married there. And I’ve often told myself that SOMEDAY we would need to spend the night. That day will never come. When I learned The Bohemian burst into flames in the early morning hours of July 2, killing Bobbi, her two daughters – ages 15 and 3 – and three guests, I reeled with disbelief. The story saddens me deeply, on so many levels. New Ulm experienced a tremendous blow with the loss of an ambassador – one who took immense pride at maintaining its history and culture, and helping visitors to the area achieve the full experience of New Ulm’s German heritage during their stay. The loss of very young

life, siblings in particular, is incomprehensible. The loss of an entire family compounds the grief. The thought of people sleeping in their beds, tucked safely in personal comfort, no matter whether a resident or a guest, only to be roused by flames in the middle of the night, with no escape possible, haunts one’s sense of security. The calamitous timing for a holiday trip among four friends is beyond inopportune. Realizing that someone’s lifetime dreams have evaporated is humbling, especially knowing they poured their heart and soul into all they did. The events that night – 15-yearold Abby returning home shortly before the fire erupted, 3-yearold Savannah’s pre-bedtime performance of “You Are My Sunshine,” Bobbi’s final Tweet announcing the arrival of guests taking shelter from the storm – the collective story staggers one with disbelief. But there’s more. The ambiance of German Street will never be the same without the iconic white Victorian on the corner. Ironically, its absence will be a constant reminder of what was once there. Comfort. Warmth. Security. Welcoming. Permanence. All the things that Bobbi strived to make her Bohemian Bed and Breakfast be. Not holding our wedding at The Bohemian – or at a minimum, not taking the time to return for an overnight stay – is a regrettable decision. That opportunity is gone. And others have lost so much more. For me, it’s been a heartwrenching reminder that what is here today might not be here tomorrow, no matter how permanent it might seem. And to cherish it. Not for tomorrow, but for today. (Sara Huebener is one of 10 people in the Savage community who write for Community Voices.

SLICE OF LIFE

Melting or freezing – a tough choice

Karen

WHEELER SLICE OF LIFE

dripping ... Dripping off my brow. Rolling down my chest. Pooling in the backs of my knees and I shift in the deck chair and take a long drink of my lemonade. Swelter. What a perfect word for what is happening to me. Webster says it means to faint or to be otherwise affected from oppressive heat. Whereas young girls go to the beach on days like this and look svelte, I sit on my deck and become a droopy mass of sweat and blubber and goo. I am not svelte. No, I am “swelt.” A new word – not to be confused with “swell” – that defines the sweat-streaked, swollen blob that results when heat and humidity overcome a person with oppressive-ness. Oppressivity. Most oppressed. Hmm, it is obvious my mind has melted to mush so I turn on the sprinkler and lift my face to the droplets. I pretend I am lifting my face to meet the first snowflakes of the season … Snowflakes. So pretty in December, so petulant in March. Last winter they just kept coming and coming, little crystals of mystery on their own, but when followed by a zillion of their frigid little friends, wearing out their welcome in a hurry. In many places, white

represents good. Pure. The protagonist. But by Valentine’s Day in Minnesota, white equals bad. Relentless. The foe that surpasses all foes, wearing us down inch by inch, slow commute by slow commute. On one such drive I watched the snow blow across the highway and pretended it was the surf, skimming across a smooth, sandy beach … So what is it to be? Which do I like the least – the hot days of summer or the frigid snows of winter? What weather do I most NOT want to be experiencing? This week, as I am melting into human swelt (there’s our new word!) I decide I would rather be freezing. After all, you can always put more clothes on when it’s cold, but you can’t take your skin off when it’s hot. And cold air is energizing; whereas,

high humidity flattens us into soggy pancakes. But come January, will that still be my story? During those sub-zero stretches, will it suddenly seem better to be too hot? I don’t know. All I DO know is that I am on the deck, there is an air elephant sitting on me, and my legs are stuck to my chair. Rivulets of perspiration are running down my face, and I hope that the car slowing down on the street isn’t stopping at my house because I don’t want to talk to anyone. I am sweaty and crabby and swelt. Not to be confused with svelte. Or swell. (Karen Wheeler is a veterinarian who lives in Burnsville.

The weight of the air hits me as I walk out onto the deck. Does air have weight? Certainly it does, and my mind flips through physics equations until I think of the one I want. Ah, yes. humidity x heat = oppressive weight. OK, maybe I made that one up but I am melting … melting … melting in air that is an elephant sitting on my chest. A hot, perspiring elephant, sliming my arms and forehead with the weight of its sweat. My limbs sag in the heat, and it is an effort to turn my head to watch a mosquito land on my arm, where it becomes mired in the moisture beading up on my skin. My shirt sticks to my back. The sweat stings my eyes. I imagine standing in deep snow and flopping back into a cool cushion of white, and suddenly my mind jumps to January … Crisp, cold January. It’s freezing. It’s bitter. I snap, crackle and slip my way through the day. Hurry to the car. Hurry to the building. My nostrils burn and pinch in protest against the bitter air. The wind is a knife, slashing through my clothes like they were butter and setting my thighs on fire with an icy burn. I sit on the frozen concrete block that used to be my car seat and turn the key. I am happy to hear the engine start, but it whines at me in that peculiar way that it does when the temperature is below zero. I put the car into gear and start crawling out of the parking lot, letting the engine warm up before I ask it to accelerate into traffic. “Margaritaville” comes on the radio and I skid into a fantasy where it is mid July and I am standing in sand too hot for my feet. I wade into the refreshing water of the lake and the water is dripping,

LIVESREMEMBERED Scott County is inspiration for artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection Gloria Ann (Drees) Walpole

Minnesota landscape painter Joshua Cunningham embarked on a personal journey in 2010, after finding he has ancestral roots in Scott County. He will display his latest collection at Savage Art Studios and Gallery beginning with an opening reception Friday, July 29. Cunninghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scott County Almanac,â&#x20AC;? features over 30 paintings created on location and in his studio and includes landmarks, farmsteads, fields, barns, lakes, urban and vistas landscapes. The entirely-new body of work explores the seasons as they play out across the communities within Scott County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I drove through Scott County, which was new to my eyes, I found so much inspiration to paint,â&#x20AC;? said Cunningham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The

Gloria Walpole of Fairport, NY passed away Friday, July 15, 2011, surrounded by her loving family. She was predeceased by her husband, LCDR John P. Walpole (USNR-RET) and sons, James and John. Gloria is loved and will be dearly missed by her surviving children, Michael (Sandra) Walpole, Pamela Walpole, Mary (Jon) Kuntz, Jill (Gerard) Edd and Suzanne (Peter) Trombley; grandchildren, Renee (Chris), Shauna, Alexandra, Victoria, Thomas, Jacqueline and James; brother, Matthew (Anne) Drees; sisters, Lois Rademacher and Alice Scherer; many nieces, nephews and friends. Gloria was born in Crookston, MN on June 19, 1924, the daughter of Mathias Drees and Marion Dorzinski. She was one of eleven children and spent most of her early life on a farm in Dorothy, MN. She graduated as valedictorian of her class from St. Hilaire High School in 1942 and then attended Normal School/Teacher's Training and taught in Red Lake Falls, MN. She also received a license in cosmetology. In her later years,she was employed at C.R.Bard in Glens Falls, NY. As a military wife, she enjoyed being stationed in various parts of the country, including Hawaii, California, New Orleans and Rhode Island. A woman of deep compassion, she exhibited tremendous strength in the face of great personal loss. This quality allowed friends, family and even strangers to gravitate to her for consolation. Gloria would like to be most remembered for her devotion to her family and her faith. The family received friends at Richard H. Keenan Funeral Home, 41 S. Main St., Fairport, NY 14450 (Village location). Calling hours were 4-7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 19. A Funeral Mass continued from page 1 was celebrated at 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, July 20, at the most living in the downtown Church of the Assumption, 20 East Ave., Fairport, NY.

Just last week the Quentin Avenue station was demolished as it has been replaced by a newer station on the city hall campus on Dakota Avenue. It was no longer the most suitable location to provide fire services for a city that is now 17 square miles with 28,000 residents.

Quentin Avenue digs in 1965. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like going from a Studebaker to a Cadillac,â&#x20AC;? said retired firefighter Bob Lattery when asked what it was like moving into the new building. Although heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d only been a firefighter for two years in 1965, Lattery had been to enough fires to experience what it was like to operate out of a building that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t built to house fire equipment. One night, a part that Lattery described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;beanieâ&#x20AC;? was partially knocked off the old International truck as it was being driven through the narrow garage door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was riding on the back under the canvas because it was winter and I felt it hit me on my head,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were answering a call in Burnsville and it was about 15 below zero.â&#x20AC;? Lattery, who retired from the fire department after serving 30 years, said he has a lot of memories of things like that happening when the fire department was in cramped quarters. So moving to the new building where there was room for trucks and other equipment was a welcome relief.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a big building for back then,â&#x20AC;? he recalled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it got a lot of use by the fire department and the community.â&#x20AC;? When large events were held, the trucks were pulled out and the garage space was cleaned and converted for whatever was needed. At the time, the annual Civic Dinners were a hot ticket, as were the fire departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community dinners and dances. Many wedding receptions were also held at the fire department as were the fire department ladies auxiliaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infamous hot dish lunches. The Gutoskes have fond memories of those social events, saying the building was the central location for everything from voting to a fun night of dancing. Carol Sue has been an election judge for many years but back then was only allowed to assist because Mic worked as the city clerk for a while and then was elected to the Savage City Council. But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always worked out of the fire hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone voted there, and that was before machines and all,â&#x20AC;? she said. Now that the Quentin

in each district, and those numbers fluctuate throughout the year. In recent years, as the state’s money clip has thinned, that ratio dwindled from 90:10 to 73:27, before falling to 70:30 for the 2010-11 school year. Days before the shutdown began, Ramsey County District Court Chief Judge Kathleen R. Gearin ruled that scheduled payments to state schools would continue during the government’s halt. During that time, the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) funded schools at the original 90:10 ratio. Now, local school districts are trying to fi gure out what the state deal will mean for them.

shift change that we really feel the impact as far as cash flow goes.” Sup eri ntendent R a ndy Clegg took a blunter approach in a District 191 press release regarding the situation. “The state is saying they will gladly pay us tomorrow for educating our children today,” Clegg said. “But we don’t have the luxury of delaying payments to our dedicated employees for the work they do for students this year, so we will certainly need to borrow to cover the gap.” Rider said shifts have been a common tactic for the state when it tries to balance its budget and that it’s something the district has dealt with before. Rider said school districts in Minnesota had to deal with a sizable shift in the 1980s and that it took 10-15 years to return to the 90:10 level. “I’m hopeful that there’s no continued decrease in the shift as we move forward and that the state actually looks to resolve the budgetary issues with what are true cuts and not just shifts of cash f low,” said Rider. And if the state continues to increase the size of the shift after this year? “That will just increase the amount that we will have to truly cut in order to maintain our operational and fi nancial stability,” Rider said. Expecti ng a rough road ahead, Rider said District 191 already planned on making cuts for the 2012-2013 fiscal year, especially in order to maintain its fund balance. “That’s going to be a year where real reductions are going to need to be made to our budget in order to continue operating and still have a fund balance that is appropriate to cover any instance where cash flow isn’t immediately available,” Rider said. The new education bill also includes a $50 boost to per-pupil-unit funding. The amount of money each school district gets is determined by enrollment under a formula that allocates $5,124 dollars per pupil unit. That number is set to increase by $50 for 2011-12 and $100 in 2012-13. The additional dollars are designed to offset fi nancing costs that school districts would incur from having to borrow money. District 191 had planned a special meeting for Thursday, July 21 to give fi nal authorization for the aid anticipation certificates sale. But with Day-

DISTRICT 719 The state’s shift to a 60:40 funding ratio did not come as a surprise to Julie Cink, director of business affairs for Prior Lake-Savage Area School District. “It’s interesting because at the beginning of our budget process, I said, ‘The easiest thing for the state to do would be to shift us again,” she said. “In my opinion, they took the easy way out.” The Prior Lake-Savage Area School Board approved its preliminary 2011-12 budget in June, in preparation for the new fi scal year, which began on July 1. That document was prepared under the assumption that state education funding would once again be shifted at a 70:30 ratio. District 719 receives 77 percent of its revenue from the state, making it by far the largest source of the district’s funding. For the most recent fiscal year, the state allocated approximately $48 million in funding to District 719. The 6 0 : 4 0 shi ft means that the district will now find itself operating with around $ 4.8 million less. Alleviating some of the fi nancial strain is the $50 perpupil-unit increase in the funding formula, which will mean $400,000 in extra revenue for District 719. To Cink, that’s not much in the face of $4.8 million delayed with no fi rm due date – but it’s a start. “We’ve made quite a few cuts the past few years,” she said. “It will defi nitely help us in future planning to have additional funds. It will help to offset any future reductions we would have to make.” Cink anticipates that District 719, which has aggressively built up its fund balance over the last few years, may be able to make it through the impending fi scal year without needing to borrow. “It’s the only reason we don’t have to borrow,” Cink stated emphatically. As a result, that additional $400,000 could help the district and its potentially dwindling enrol l ment stave of f other cuts. District 719 will be able to utilize its fund balance for cash flow this year, but that doesn’t

DISTRICT 720 The Shakopee School District will also have to borrow money to meet cash flow this coming year. Former Shakopee Schools Superintendent Jon McBroom said that while the district has a 12 percent general fund balance, it does not have enough cash on hand to cover expenses until the remaining revenue is repaid in fall 2012. “This definitely has a significant impact on cash flow for the district,” said McBroom, who is working as a consultant until new Superintendent Rod Thompson starts Aug. 1. Shakopee will likely shortterm borrow from fund balances in other accounts, such as construction and capital, instead of going on the open market, McBroom said. The district, however, must still pay interest on the loans. (Shakopee Valley News reporters Shannon Fiecke and Kristin Holtz contributed to this report.)

mean the forecast is full of blue skies. Cink said dollars will get tight around April and May and “minimally borrowing” may be an option. In June, the School Board approved establishment of a line of credit, which would allow the district to borrow up to 95 percent of its average monthly expenditures for a period of 45 days. According to Cink, the line of credit is an attractive short-term option for the district to get through f u ndi ng sque ezes bec au se there’s no set-up fee and the interest rates are lower. “It gives us much more flexibility,” she said. “It’s a shorter borrowing period.” Initially, setting up the line of credit was done in case state education funding was halted during the shutdown. But now, because the district already has the line of credit, Cink said she’s exploring possibly utilizing it if the district fi nds itself in a pinch due to current and future funding shifts. In the meantime, Cink and finance committee members will begin creating a two-year plan for the district. “I think the district is well prepa red to move for wa rd based on the information we received from the state,” she said. As for District 719 staff, students and parents, Cink said it will be business as usual. “They should not notice any change,” she said.

would range between $451,000 and $565,000 per year, depending on which building option was chosen. The annual net income of $507,940 would be put toward the debt on the EDA bonds; however in the 25-year analysis, the city would have to find another revenue source to bridge the gap in years 12 and 15 when the turf and dome would need to be replaced, respectively, due to wear and tear. But at the end of the 25 years, estimates show the dome would have generated an excess of $ 6 million in revenue. Money to bridge that gap could come from the liquor operations, community development or economic development funds. Or the city could increase taxes to pay for the shortfall. Stock said the liquor fund will not be used to pay any shortfall because auditors have recommended that the city stop making transfers out of the liquor revenues into the general fund. That leaves other city funds to bridge the gap, or, worse case, raising taxes. “The city does understand that if revenues don’t meet expenditures that taxpayer’s money will have to be used to pay the difference,” Stock said. “Residents are concerned about that and so is Council.” As well there is a concern that if a private business opens a similar facility, that it would impact future revenue projections; and in turn the city’s ability to pay off the bonds. “The potential numbers might not pan out because we can’t predict everything,” Stock said, “So we have to be prepared with a plan.” Stock emphasized to the City Council that the costs are conservative because the financial analysis only takes into consideration 50 percent of the available hours.

For Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191, it will likely mean borrowing more money for the upcoming school year than it had originally planned. Di st r ic t 191 re c eive s 8 0 percent of its revenue from the state. The proposed 60:40 percent shift means that the district would have to deal with an estimated $8 million cash flow budget deficit for the 2011-2012 school year, forcing it to borrow even more money to cover operating costs. Expenditures for the 20112012 school year are estimated at $158 million. The District has already cut $4 million and taken $ 2.1 million from the fund reserve to balance this year’s budget, but with this larger shift, it still won’t be enough. ISD 191 also is planning to ask voters to approve an operating referendum this fall which, if passed, would renew an $ 845 per pupil operating levy. That levy is set to expire in 2013. A nticipating that an accounting shift would happen, the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Board voted last month to approve the sale of $12 million in aid anticipation certificates. But with the record-high 40 percent shift that’s been proposed, Business Services Director Lisa Rider said the district may need to borrow as much as $20 million. “We will need to make adjustments for our financial situation based on what is happening,” Rider said. “It’s that fi rst year they make the

Burnsville High School renovations well under way BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

It may be hard to tell from the outside, but on the inside, Burnsville High School is undergoing a dramatic facelift. Major renovations began this summer as part of a twophase, three-summer project that star ted with â&#x20AC;&#x153;behindthe-scenesâ&#x20AC;? work in June like updating and improving the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HVAC system. Jon Deutsch, the director of operations and properties, said this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renovations were designed to meet three main goals: catching up on deferred maintenance projects, making sure the school is up to code with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and improving air quality. But according to Deutsch, reconfiguring and updating the science labs was â&#x20AC;&#x153;our number one priority.â&#x20AC;? Principal Dave Helke agreed, saying that â&#x20AC;&#x153;these were some of the oldest classrooms in the building.â&#x20AC;? The school was originally built in 1955.

One big change that students and teachers will notice immediately is the new location of the main office, which will be placed near the new front entrance where the world language classrooms used to be. Deutch said having the new office closer to the main entrance will cut down on confusion for people looking for the office, and will also add to the security of the building. By redesigning the main entrance, it will â&#x20AC;&#x153;create some identity and a sense of arrivalâ&#x20AC;? for students, said Eric Anderson of architectural fi rm ATS&R. Anderson is a 1995 graduate of Burnsville High School,

Anderson said of working on his former high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the rooms, and I know the teachers in the rooms, of course, and now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m starting to learn about the walls themselves.â&#x20AC;? One of the other changes is the central corridor, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;main street,â&#x20AC;? where studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lockers are located. The lockers will no longer be stacked, making it easier for staff to look over them to the other end of the corridor for supervision purposes. Next summer, restrooms are expected to be renovated, language arts and social study areas will be worked on, and more mechanical updates are expected. Construction plans for the summer 0f 2013 still need to be approved by the Minnesota Department of Education before planning can move forward, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected that such work could include renovations to the kitchen, cafeteria, main

street hallway and commons area. The funding for this de ferred maintenance project comes from the sale of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general obligation bonds, which provided the district with $16.5 million. The district will use its state-authorized Alternative Facilities levy authority to pay off those bonds. The total cost of the high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renovation is expected to be $13 million, with the remaining $3.5 million to be used to fund other renovation projects at other schools in the district. That $16.5 million is stored in a facility bond that, in accordance with state law, is designated exclusively for deferred maintenance and other capital improvement projects, and is completely separate from the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operational funds. T he BHS project, which is part of an updated 10-year alternative facilities plan approved by the School Board last summer, was also approved by the commissioner of education in November.

Why a home remodel may be better than a savings account

re you keeping your home longer than you expected, due to the sluggish and uncertain home resale market? If you are, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got company. Only 43 percent of homeowners believe they would get their asking price if they sold today, according to the latest American Express Spending & Saving Tracker. That lack of confidence, coupled with interest rates on personal savings accounts that are at or near record lows, has a lot of homeowners investing in their homes instead of depositing money in their banks. In fact, nearly two-thirds of homeowners will be remodeling in 2011, says American Express. Improving your home can be a smart strategy over the long run. In the meantime, it can make your home more comfortable and convenient while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living there. Now is the time to ask yourself if putting your hard-earned savings into your house is right for you. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the return on your investment in the near-term, but when you factor in a quicker sale or higher sale price, you could end up with more

proďŹ t than savings account interest rates can provide.

breaking through ďŹ&#x201A;oors or jackhammering concrete.

Improvements that pay

Unlike conventional gravity plumbing, up-ďŹ&#x201A;ush systems pump waste and water from toilets, showers, sinks, wet bars and washing machines upward. Small-diameter piping carries the waste into the sewer or septic tank. For more information on this cost-effective plumbing option, visit www. saniďŹ&#x201A;o.com.

Experts recommend that you stick to improvements likely to increase your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resale appeal and value. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no such thing as a guaranteed return on investment, but some home improvements have a better value track record than others. A basement remodel will recoup 70 percent of its cost at resale, according to the 20102011 Remodeling Magazine Cost vs. Value Report. Adding a bathroom returns more than 53 percent of your investment, while modernizing a kitchen can bring back 72.8 percent.

Build a bath: If you plan to install a bathroom, laundry or wet bar in an area that lacks below-ďŹ&#x201A;oor plumbing drainage, you can dramatically reduce your installation costs with macerating technology. Installing drainage in a basement, attic or garage can be messy, time-consuming and expensive. But with macerating, or upďŹ&#x201A;ush, technology, you can have plumbing virtually anywhere in your home, without

plan and three months to build, according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association. You can improve the overall look and feel of a kitchen with a lot less work and money simply by refurbishing what you have. Some refurbishing options include refaced cabinets instead of new, resurfaced countertops or an added backsplash, updated ďŹ&#x201A;ooring and under-cabinet task lighting. Regardless of the project you plan to undertake, there are a few things you can do to ensure you get the most for your money. Here are some general tips from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI):

Want to make your new bath seem larger? Let the light in! If a skylight isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the budget, use recessed ceiling lights and large mirrors. Also, choose a warm semi-gloss paint and install 12-inch by 12-inch or larger ďŹ&#x201A;oor tiles to minimize grout lines.

â&#x20AC;˘ Establish a budget:

A walk-in shower is a smart and costeffective space-saver. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need storage space, a pedestal sink is another good alternative. Two sureďŹ re ways to give the illusion of space are a recessed medicine cabinet and a pocket door instead of a traditional hinged door.

â&#x20AC;˘ Hire a qualiďŹ ed remodeler who is familiar with local building codes. â&#x20AC;˘ Compare products and prices before you begin. â&#x20AC;˘ Work with a contract.

Some things we cannot do anything about. The weather is an example. All over Minnesota, farmers are experiencing this truth in full force. Several fields are flooded in my area and some will not be tilled or planted at all. Of course, this would be no big deal if the weather was like ocean tides. Living in the Midwest, tides affect us very little. They are too far away. This is not the case with the rain. Its impact can be dramatic like this year. During the summer months, I operate a small USDA-certified organic farm. Our family grows fruits and vegetables, and sells them directly to the consumer. One time I joked with a friend, “If you can’t grow beans and zucchini, you better not become a market gardener.” This year I regret having said that. I planted both beans and zucchini, and many other varieties of produce. But right now very little is growing. The persistent rains of May and June deluged my main field, washing away seed. The soil was frequently too saturated for replanting. To compound the misery, soil temperatures were too cold for adequate germination. Watching summer develop with too few crops causes anxiety – a lot of anxiety. The investments made in seed, irrigation, fuel and equipment

are considerable, and need to be paid. For those of you who grew up learning to take responsibility, it is important to recognize that some things are NOT our responsibility. Some things we cannot do anything about. We cannot choose where we are born and we cannot choose to whom we are born and we cannot change the weather. In recent years, many preachers have a renewed emphasis on the sovereignty of God in their preaching. What is meant by the sovereignty of God? Basically it means that God is in control and nothing is in control of God. The only forces that control God are his own goodness, perfection and holiness.

at the core of well-being. Our lives, our futures, our families, our fields, our finances, are all in the hands of a sovereign God – a good, loving and unchanging, God. This is the testimony of scripture and a bedrock truth of the historic Christian faith. We can respond poorly to this truth. We can make irresponsible decisions and then say it was the will of a sovereign God. We can buy cars we cannot afford, take vacations and charge them to a credit card with high interest rates, and try to assign the consequences to the plan of God. The sovereignty of God is not an escape hatch. Instead it is a strong reason to believe that God will work all things for the benefit of our salvation. Ironically, as I write this, it is pouring rain on my fields near Princeton in southern Mille Lacs County. The fields are already soaked. May God give us all the strength, whatever our circumstances, to trust in his sovereign plan. (Rev.

Pastor Steve Bonesho stands in front of the church sign announcing his arrival as pastor at St. Mary Magdalene Lutheran Church in Savage. Bonesho will also retain his duties as a mission developer at River of Joy Lutheran Church in Spring Lake Township.

New pastor will serve dual role, continue with River of Joy

‘SECOND-CAREER PASTOR’ Bonesho is the fourth called pastor to serve the congregation of St. Mary Magdalene since its start in 1988, at the corner of County Road 42 and Quentin Avenue. He served as intern of the congregation during 2005 and 2006, trained and developed by former pastor, Paul Cross. He received his Master of Divinity at Luther Seminary in 2006 and earned a Bachelor of Arts in religion/religious studies from Gustavus Adolphus College in 1985. Bonesho calls himself a “second-career pastor.” Prior to his arrival at St. Mary Magdalene, he worked in management for the United Parcel Service. He has lived in Lakeville for 15 years with his wife, Kris, and

SERVING DUAL ROLES Bonesho came to St. Mary Magdalene after Ben Worley and Jim Nelson, who served as interim pastors for three months and 12 months, respectively. During that time, there were a lot of questions about what a partnership between the two churches would look like. “It’s not uncommon to have pastors serving two congregations,” said Bonesho. “We’re trying to leverage the strengths of two communities.” Congregation Council President Rob Walker said that St. Mary Magdalene and River of Joy utilize the two-point parish model – one pastor serving two neighboring congregations – but their relationship is more collaborative than traditional models. “We believe members of both congregations will find opportunities for learning, sharing and giving by crossing over back and forth to different outlets within each church expression for God’s mission,” said Walker. Bonesho works primarily out of the St. Mary Magdalene location, and maintains close contact with the parish advisory team, which includes representatives from both churches.

MERGING TWO CULTURES “River of Joy is very fluid,” said Bonesho. “The challenge is bringing together two church cultures while both keep their identity.” He is hoping to bring about change at St. Mary Magdalene and River of Joy, not the kind

of change that ruffles feathers so much as the kind of change that inspires the other side of spirituality – doing. “When you get people involved in those things that are important to Jesus, their eyes change,” said Bonesho. “They see the world differently and treat their neighbors differently.” St. Mary Magdalene worked with two other church 2006 to start River of Joy Lutheran Church. “During their initial rollout, St. Mary Magdalene sent parish money to River of Joy to help with its start up,” said Bonesho, “but they’ve operated independently since.” Bonesho sees the partnership between St. Mary Magdalene and River of Joy as “uncharted territory.” He views River of Joy as more of an “unconventional church” than St. Mary Magdalene, but struggled to define unconventional based on the changes in church culture and language today. “River of Joy is a community that takes its engagement with the world very seriously, but they don’t take themselves too seriously,” said Bonesho. “I’m excited for the two congregations to engage both the local and global communities. And the people at St. Mary Magdalene are also excited.” St. Mary Magdalene and River of Joy are 10 miles apart, and Bonesho will regularly travel between the two for meetings and services. During the summer, St. Mary Magdalene has services on Sundays at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. River of Joy Sunday services take place at 6:30 p.m. at the Spring Lake Township Town Hall.

Steve Bonesho wants to unlock the spiritual DNA that gets people excited about helping others, whether they’re volunteering through Feed My Starving Children or starting a community bookshelf program to deliver reading materials to low-income children. With a vision of bringing two churches together to collaborate on “doing,” Bonesho accepted the call for pastor at St. Mary Magdalene Lutheran Church in Savage. He began work on July 5, and through a labor-sharing agreement, will retain his duties as a mission developer at River of Joy Lutheran Church in Spring Lake Township. “The name labor-sharing agreement is funny to me,” he said. “This isn’t like work for me at all.

At a trial’s conclusion, attorneys from both sides will give their closing arguments, which will sum up the evidence in a ﬁnal bid to inﬂuence the jury’s decision. The jury then receives its “charge,” which are the judge’s instructions on the law that applies to the case and definitions of the relevant legal concepts that may prove pivotal in the jury’s deliberations. In some cases, the jury will be given a list of questions to answer. The jury is only supposed to consider the evidence presented at the trial, but jury members are usually told by the judge that they can use a witness’s demeanor to determine if he or she is believable. After that, the jury deliberates privately. Of course, not all legal matters involve a jury. Many are small things that require nothing more than a visit to your attorney’s office. We take pride in providing personalized and expert service for all of our clients, whether it’s a high-drama jury case or simply a matter of writing and signing a will. Our practice takes cases involving personal injury, estate planning, corporate services, bankruptcy, real estate law, personal injury, wrongful death, and employment litigation. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please call 952-226-1202. Our address is 6001 Egan Drive, Suite 140, Savage MN. Multiple Services, Singular Commitment.

A 53 -year-old man from Savage is facing a felony theft charge after allegedly stealing roofing construction tools from St. John the Baptist Catholic School on July 10. According to the complaint, police were called to the school at 126th Street and Lynn Avenue just before 2 a.m. When police arrived, an officer saw the defendant, Lonnie Paul Kehren, lying beside a large construction Dumpster with a bicycle and large black bag. When Kehren stood up, the officer instructed him to show his hands, but instead, Kehren tried to run behind the Dumpster but was taken into custody. Kehren told the officer he was just Dumpster diving, but when another officer on the scene looked in the black bag, he saw it was full of construction tools. Two men near the scene said they saw Kehren come and go from the construction site two or three times that night. The witnesses said Kehren was riding a bicycle and that they could show police where Kehren was taking the tools. The men took police to a home in the 1270 0 block of Monterey Avenue, which was Kehren’s listed address. A search of the home turned up 20 tools stolen from the site and a tool case with “Dalbec Roofing” stenciled on it. Dalbec Roofi ng was the company hired to work on the school. In addition, there were nine tools found in the black bag. The total amount of stolen goods was valued at more than $1,000. Kehren later told police he was there looking for scrap metal but instead located tools in the Dumpster and in a nearby area; however, a representative from Dalbec Roofi ng said the tools that were recovered came from a locked toolbox on the roof of the school. If convicted on the theft charge, Kehren could face up to five years in prison.

Police say Kehren was again arrested July 14 after refusing to pull over for an officer and driving without a valid license and was cited for fourth-degree Driving W hi le Intoxicated (DWI).

Domestic assault charges ﬁled Felony domestic assau lt charges have been filed against T roy Bl ai ne Almhjeld, 33, of Burnsville after he allegedly punched, pushed and kicked his girlfriend on July 4. According to the comTroy plaint, Savage Almhjeld police were called to a home in the 4000 block of West 141st Street at approximately 9:37 p.m. They found the victim, a 33-year-old woman, hunched over, holding her right side and crying out in pain. The officers observed large bruises on her left arm and back, and noted that she had blood on her mouth and hands. The victim told police that A lmhjeld had punched her in the face, thrown her to the ground and kicked her several times. Officers asked the victim where Almhjeld was and she said he probably went back to the home they shared in Burnsville. The victim’s injuries were photographed and she was taken by ambulance to a hospital. Officers then talked to the owner of the home, Almhjeld’s cousin who said Almhjeld and the victim had been drinking and fighting all day. She said she had enough and kicked them out, but later called police when she heard the victim screaming. Another man who also lives at the home said he broke up several fights between the two during the day, and that at one point he saw Almhjeld take a swing at the victim. Police located Almhjeld outside an apartment building in Burnsville and he was arrested

and later booked into Scott County Jail. Almhjeld was previously convicted of domestic assault in January 2010.

Trial date set for Thomas Ampe An Oct. 10 trial date has been set for Thomas Edward Ampe, 22, of Savage who is accused of abusing his 4-week-old daughter last July. Ampe was charged with f i r s t- d e g r e e assault Aug. 18, 2010, after the child, who has been diagnosed with Down syndrome, was taken to the Thomas hospit a l i n Ampe late July to be treated for a fractured rib and bruises on her cheek and chest. A bone scan revealed 56 total fractures to the girl’s ribs, legs, arms and knees, and an MRI revealed that three areas of the girl’s brain had bleeding and bruising. Savage police said at the time that it was the “most severe case” of child abuse they had ever seen. In interviews with police, Ampe admitted to frequently being frustrated by his daughter’s crying, and that he may have squeezed her too hard out of frustration on more than one occasion. He also admitted to force feeding her, which caused her lip to bleed, grabbing her arms and wrists to flip her over, and giving her “a little bit of a shake” on one occasion. Ampe also said he hit his daughter on top of the head with an open right hand once, and that on July 21, 2010, while trying to change her diaper, he forcibly pulled her right leg down and heard a “crack” causing her to cry louder. Ampe said he didn’t think much of it because the noise wasn’t that loud. If convicted, Ampe faces a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. Compiled by Alex Hall

Savage man sentenced for possessing ﬁrearms, distributing explosives A 50-year-old Savage man was sentenced to 12-and-a-half years in prison Wednesday (July 20) for possessing a machine gun and distributing explosives. United States District Court Judge Paul A. Magnuson sentenced Wesley Noah Banks on one count of illegal possession of a machine gun and one count of illegal distribution of explosive materials. Banks was charged on Feb. 14 and pleaded guilty on March 24. In his plea agreement, Banks admitted that on Jan. 29, 2010, he received a model A R-15 machine gun. He also admitted that on June 7, 2010, he distributed two destructive devices to Bruce Wayne Leathart. Moreover, Banks admitted that on April 23, 2010, he sold Leathart four explosive devices, commonly known as M-80s. Leathart was sentenced on Nov. 24, 2010, to 27 months in federal prison on one count of illegal possession of a machine gun. “Building improvised destructive devices is a self-critiquing activity and one without second chances,” said Bernard J. Zapor, special agent in charge of the St. Paul Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), following Banks’

sentenci ng, “These items often kill the bomb maker. In this case, a partnership of dedic ated law en force ment officers prevented further risk to the Wesley public.” Banks “ We ap on s h ave b e c ome a c om mon ly encountered and dangerous component utilized by drug traffickers to protect their illegal operations,” said Dan Moren, assistant special agent in charge of the MinneapolisSt. Paul office of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). “In this case, a substantial cache of weapons – machine guns, machine gun components, explosives and chemicals used to produce explosives – were seized at the same location where Mr. Banks operated a large-scale indoor marijuana grow operation. Collaborative efforts with the ATF as well as our strong partnership with local law enforcement resulted in an investigation that ceased the growing of marijuana that would have made it to our streets, while also keeping

numerous weapons and explosives from potentially being used to perpetrate violence.” On June 8, a federal search w a r r a nt w a s e xe c ut e d at Banks’ home in a secluded area of south Savage at 15474 Dakota Ave. There, authorities seized additional bombs, chemicals used to manufacture explosives, 29 fi rearms, i ncludi ng seven suspected machine guns, components to manufacture more machine guns, and an indoor grow operation containing nearly 100 marijuana plants. Law enforcement officials were there for four days. During that time, the St. Paul Police Department’s bomb squad detonated several explosive devices. This case was the result of an investigation by the St. Paul Police Department, the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office, the DEA, and the ATF. According to court records, Banks’ criminal history only involves convictions for petty misdemeanor traffic citations. The Savage Police said their only contact with Banks was in 1999, when he reported a burglary, but that incident did not occur at the home on Dakota Avenue.

ELECTION 2011

Christine Kelly plans to seek re-election Mayor Janet Williams Ch risti ne Kel ly has announced she is seeking reelection to the Savage City Council. Kelly was originally elected in 2007. “It is my desire to continue to provide leadership a nd vision for this great community,” Kelly said in a press release, “It has been an honor and a privilege serving the city of Savage and I hope to continue to do so in the upcoming years.” While under Kelly’s vision the city has maintained a fl at tax levy. She believes that fi scal responsibility is crucial to keeping Savage a place where

residents can live and thrive. Under Kelly’s leadership, the city of Savage has managed to provide its citi zens w it h cr uci a l ser vices a nd much desired Christine a menities. A Kelly ba la nced ap proach has allowed the city to expand on much needed amenities such as the new Fire Station No. 60 and the McColl Environmental Learning Center without compromising

current services. Kelly cites the bond rating upgrades as one of her biggest accomplishments. The most recent bond upgrade to AA+ was due to the city’s ‘st rong histor y and solid fi nancial management practices,” according to the city’s bond counsel. Finally, Kelly sought election in 20 07 promising to work on developing public and private sector partnerships. Kelly has embraced these partnerships during her time on the Council. One such partnership preserved land as a part of the Savage

Fen while providing a future regional trail. Kelly is married and has two children. She is in her eighth year volunteering as a Girl Scout leader and has been a team manager for her children’s Destination Imagination teams for the past seven years. She is active in her church community serving as a recent chaperone on a youth mission trip to Los Angeles. As a Council member, she is the city of Savage’s representative on the Scott County Transit Review Board as well as the Municipal Legislative Commission.

McColl plans to seek another council term Al McColl, a lifelong resident, has announced his intent to seek re-election to the Savage City Council, a position he has held since 2004. He was previously employed by the city of Savage, having retired in 2003 as the deputy chief of police, and also served for 29 years on the Savage Fire Department, where he served 13 of those years as the fire chief. McColl was born and raised

in Savage and has worked for the community for over 35 years. Having a deep passion for what goes on in the city, he has enjoyed the last eight years as a counAl cil member as McColl he continues to give back to a community that

has provided so much for his family. Since becoming a council member, McColl has served on various committees, currently including the finance committee, Burnsville/Savage joint council committee and the SCALE training facility and is also the current acting mayor in the mayor’s absence. While continually wanting to improve on the city’s current bond rating, McColl states

it is imperative to also continue to work to find ways to stabilize the city’s tax rate while being able to provide the services the residents have come to expect. McColl says he believes the city has come a long way in its financial situation in the last eight years and he would like to take his management experience and vested personal interest in the community into the next four years.

No signs of letup Outlaws stay dominant, lock up No. 1 seed in Section 4B BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

Former Burnsville standout Lauren DiGregorio is entering her second season of Division I soccer this fall at Colorado College. Meanwhile, her summer club team, the Woodbury Inferno, is playing in the U.S. Youth Soccer 19U National Championships July 27-31 in Phoenix.

Former Burnsville standout continues to excel on the club, college soccer fields

LABOR DAY CUP

Elevating her play BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

She was an all-state forward in her stellar career for the Burnsville girls soccer team, helping her earn a Division I scholarship at Colorado College. But don’t forget Lauren DiGregorio’s other team – the Woodbury Inferno. The 2010 Burnsville graduate has played for that summer club squad since 2005. And DiGregorio and her Inferno teammates will play their final games together July 27-31 in the U.S. Youth Soccer U19 National Championships in Phoenix, Ariz. The Inferno won the Region II Midwest championship with a 2-0 win over team from Kansas June 29 in Wisconsin. DiGregorio had a goal in the title game and scored three times in five regional games. It’s the first time DiGregorio’s Inferno team has qualified for the national tourney. The team has won the Minnesota State Cup Championship at every level starting in 2005.

“Lauren is extremely fast and quick and has a knack for getting into scoring position.” Geoff Bennett Tigers Coach “Our core group has not changed much (since 2005),” said DiGregorio. “This year everything kid of aligned right for us. I’m not going to lie. I’m so excited to go to nationals. “This is our last hurrah together,” added DiGregorio. “It’s the last time we’ll all get to play together, so I’m really looking forward to it. It’s going to be so much fun.” The national tournament is a round-robin format, featuring the four regional champions. The Inferno takes on the Dallas Texans 92 in the first round. The other two teams are from New Jersey and Colorado. If DiGregorio’s team manages to win the national

title, it would be the third Minnesota club to do so and first since 1992 when the Burnsville Giants won the girls U16 crown. The Spartan Randolph Blackhawks out of St. Paul won the boys U19 title in 1990. Out of the 16 players on the Inferno – which is made of players from all over the metro area – 14 compete at the Division I level and two play Division II. Last fall, DiGregorio completed her first season at Colorado College. Injuries plagued her in that first campaign. She played in 17 of 19 games, starting 12 of them at forward. After scoring the gamewinning goal in overtime in her first college game – a 1-0 win over Dayton – DiGregorio battled a sprained ankle and played much of the season with a broken hand. She finished the year with four goals and one assist. Tigers coach Geoff Bennett sees even bigger things ahead for DiGregorio. “Lauren is extremely fast and quick and has a knack for getting into scoring position,”

The Savage Outlaws locked up the No. 1 seed in Section 4B with three easy wins in three straight days playing in the intense humidity. Savage improved to 8-0 in the Section 4B standings with a 17-5 home win in seven innings over Inver Grove Heights July 18. Between that win, the Outlaws outscored Rosemount in two games 19-3. Savage (24-2 overall) won the fi rst game 7-1 on the road July 17 and followed with a 12-2 win in seven innings July 19. Meanwhile, Rosemount and the Prior Lake Jays will be the No. 2 and 3 seeds in the field, while Inver Grove Heights will be seeded fourth. The first round of the doubleelimination playoffs starts July 31 with the top teams qualifying for the Class B state tournament, which is set to start Aug. 19. Savage is the overwhelming favorite to earn its fourth st raight consecutive st ate berth. The Outlaws are 3- 0 a g a i n st b ot h I nver Gr ove Heights and Rosemount and 2-0 with a makeup game to play versus Prior Lake. That makeup date hasn’t been deter mi ned a nd may

not need to be played if Rosemount beats Prior Lake Sunday, July 24. That would give Rosemount five wins in the Section 4B standings and two of three wins versus the Jays, which would clinch the No. 2 seed. Meanwhile, the Outlaws had games at Chaska Thursday and at Miesville Friday (both results not available at press time) and will close out the regular season home to Lakeville Monday, July 25 at 7:30 p.m. and at Austin Friday, July 29 at 8 p.m. Savage has qualified for state four of the last five summers, finishing third at last year’s tourney and fifth the year before. The winning pitchers for Savage in its last three straight wins were Travis Peterson against Inver Grove Heights, Travis Pugliese in the fi rst win over Rosemount and Jack Lassonde in the second win. Full stats were not available on the Outlaws’ Website. The venue for this year’s state tournament is the towns of Glencoe, Brow nton a nd Hutchinson. Shakopee is the two-time defending state champions. For more on amateur baseball in Minnesota go to www. minnesotabaseball.org.

Picked for a higher level Hill to play for California team Lauren DiGregorio said Bennett. “She has a chance to become a big-time scorer and leader for our program.” DiGregorio was one of 10 freshmen on the Tigers last fall, along with seven sophomores. So she was part of a young team that should improve on last year’s 4-6-1 mark in Conference USA. DiGregorio said the jump from high school to college soccer was made easier because of her club experience with the Inferno. The level of play in club is much higher than in high school and not far off from college. One thing she had to do at the Division I level was establish herself among her peers.

Tyler Hill of Savage showed off his abilities in helping the Burnsville baseball team win the Class AAA state title last June. Now, the Blaze senior will get to show off his talents to a broader audience in North Carolina this September, playing in the annual Labor Day Cup (Sept 3-5) at the USA Baseball National Training Complex. It’s the second time Hill has been selected to play in the games. He played in the 16U division the fi rst time and will play in the 18U this time around. The Cup features 16 teams from around the nation. Hill will play for the Californiabased team SSK. Hill was the Blaze’s starting left fielder this past spring.

Correction: PL boys basketball at state In the July 23 edition of the Savage Pacer, an error was made in the “celebration 100 seasons” story. The story said that the Prior Lake boys basketball program had never qualified for the state tournament in its history. The Lakers have in fact played in three state tournaments (1976, 1977 and 1978), including winning back-to-back Class AA state titles in 1977 and 1978. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Tucker Breitung of Prior Lake finished second in the 20lap Dirt Modifieds feature race July 16 at Elko Speedway.

Heating the racing track Young Prior Lake driver takes second at the Dirt Nationals BY JIM BURNS AND TOM SCHARDIN Correspondent, tschardin@swpub.com

After two days of rain and cancellations, the drivers, fans and Elko Speedway officials were greeted with a hot, humid sunny day for an abbreviated version of the Dirt Nationals July 16. And the racing was well worth the wait with some of the best action coming in Elko Modifieds. Defending divisional champion Dan Wheeler of Columbia Heights held off Prior Lake’s Tucker Breitung for the win in the 20-lap main event. Other feature winners included: Tim Brockhouse of Webster i n L egends, Scot t Biertzer in the IRA 410 Sprints and Chris Graf in the UMSS 360 Sprints. Action is returning to the asphalt today (Saturday, July 23) at Elko Speedway with six divisions of racing. For more info, go to www.elkospeedway. com or call (952) 461-7223. Mea nwhi le, i n t he El ko Modifieds, Wheeler began the main event on the outside of the second row and quickly ducked under Breitung for second place to begin his pursuit of leader Kylie Kath. As Kath and Wheeler tried to distance themselves from the 17-car grid, Dave Swearingen and Ryan Schluesner worked under Dagan Heim to join the top five with Breitung, before Wheeler caught and passed Kath for the point on lap five. Once in the lead, Wheeler overcame four cautions and a late run by Breitung, sliding by the outside of Kath on lap 10 to earn the win. Schluesner

charged home to edge Kath for a top-three fi nish. Breitung, 17, will be a senior this fall at Prior Lake High School. He’s a third-generation racer in his family and has been part of his father’s pit crew, as well as being the crew chief, since he was 6 years old. Breitung started racing his own car last year. He does all the work and fabrication for his vehicle, competing in Dirt Modified races in Eastern Wisconsin as well. Last year, Breitung fi nished 18th in the Dirt Modified feature at Elko Speedway. Meanwhile, in Legends at this year’s Dirt Nationals, the drivers were also competing in a national qualifying race. Brockhouse, the 2010 Dirt Masters divisional national champion, put the field on notice early as he dominated his heat and through the luck of the inversion was on the point when the green flew. Brockhouse quickly took advantage of his pole position as he quickly distanced himself from the 21-car starting grid. And, despite a persistent challenge from Jon Lewerer, Brockhouse looked to be headed for the checkered flag. But something was changing behind Brockhouse and that was the runner-up position. Matt Hendreckson charged by Lewerer on lap 11 and set his sights on the leader. Over the final nine markers, Hendreckson closed in on Brockhouse and ducked to the outside of the leader exiting turn four. But Brockhouse slid back underneath for the win by inches.

Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve is considered one of the toughest and most chal lenging single -track courses in the Twin Cities. There are plenty of signature spots on the trail, including 45 feet of a narrow bridge that has five drops that are spaced nine feet apart. The first four drops are eight inches, but the last one is about a foot. The bridge is 30 inches wide and four total feet of the ground. Riders also need to watch out for poison ivy, prickly ash and wild parsnip that grow in the area and along the trail. According to www.trimbleoutdoors.com, the trail

SOCCER continued from page 13

“That was the biggest difference my first year,” said DiGregorio. “Being a freshman, you had to know your boundaries and learn your role. You have to establish yourself. In club, I had already established myself, so there are two different mindsets.” In high school, soccer tends to be a little rougher since the skill level throughout is not as a deep. At 5-foot, 2-inches, DiGregorio looked on the small side in her three-year Blaze career. She tended to take a few more hard knocks. But DiGregorio still thrived. She finished with 43 career goals. She scored 58 percent of the Blaze’s goal (28 total, along with a team-best eight assists)

“combines three loops of increasing difficulty on one of Minneapolis’ longer singletrack trails. Warm up on the beginner loop, a wide dirt trail through prairie, before reaching the woods and the intermediate loop near mile 0.5. “The intermediate trail’s hard-packed dirt surface is rougher and there are more rocks and several bridges as you wind along the side of a hill to the advanced loop connector at mile 1.9. The 6.3-mile advanced loop begins with a two-way bridge and is packed with technical elements: trees, rocks, a skinny boardwalk and a couple quick climbs.” One comment on www. dirtworld.com described Murphy-Hanrehan’s trail like a “Texas giant roller coaster at Six Flags Over Texas. You go up a lot of hills (including one big one at the start), then scream downward until you get to the next uphill. It’s definitely a thrill a minute.” It’s been estimated that the more experienced riders can the fi nish the course in roughly 45 minutes, while the average time is about 70 minutes. in her senior year in 2009 helping the team to a 12-3-4 mark. DiGregorio said she doesn’t mind physical play and is more than willing to mix it up when need be. But she prefers a game that is more finesse. “The games were not always pretty (in high school),” said DiGregorio. “They could be pretty rough. In club (and college), it’s more a clean game. There’s a deeper understanding of the game. It’s a lot easier on my body. “Coming to the college level was not as big of a jump for me as some other freshmen,” said DiGregorio. “I’ve been really lucky in my career to have head coaches who have prepared me for this level.” To follow DiGregorio’s club team at nationals, go to http://championships. usyouthsoccer.org.

Members: Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood Heyday: Late 1980s/early 1990s (The group disbanded in 1994, reuniting in 2007)

Most assumed the pairing was a one-night-only affair, but a year later, the two groups have mashed their acronyms together into one big, beautiful NKOTBSB and are on the road touring the U.S. and Canada. The nine-member group rolled into Minneapolis to play to a full Target Center crowd of 15,000 last Friday night. Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell took some time before the Minneapolis show to answer a few questions about the tour. Q. What’s it like to be among the hottest concert tickets this summer? A. Man, you know, it’s a blessing. It’s a huge blessing. Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block have worked hard for it. It’s a blessing to go out and fill the seats and do something that we love. Q. If someone had told you guys back in the Millennium Tour that you would be joining forces with New Kids on the Block, would you have believed that? A. Maybe not during the Millennium tour, but it’s funny, this whole idea has been talked about for years… We had the same manager – Johnny Wright – he doesn’t manage us anymore, but he used to be the road manager/tour manager for New Kids years ago when they were just larger than life – no pun intended. My answer to you then would have been ‘No way, no way,’ but I think there’s a time and place for everything. I think it worked out. Interviews I’ve done in the past have said, ‘So the next tour’s going to be Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC?’ and my one word answer is ‘No.’ Any other combination I can honestly tell you I don’t think would have worked as well as this worked. Q. What kind of physical toll has this tour taken on you?

Signature songs: Hangin’ Tough, Step By Step, You’ve Got It (The Right Stuff )

Backstreet Boys (BSB) Members: Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, A.J. McLean (Kevin Richardson left the group in 2006) Heyday: Late 1990s/early 2000s Signature songs: I Want It That Way, Larger Than Life, Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)

“‘Cause just when I think we’re through/ The memories come flooding back/It’s like instantly I love you like that/I was on fire for you/We can get it back again/If you don’t say it’s the end, the end.” NKOTBSB “Don’t Turn Out The Lights”

A. It’s a little harder at 36 years old. My knees hurt. We go out there and go hard every night. Being older doesn’t make it easier, but I think we’re like fine wine. We’re aging well.”

A two-forone special BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

As a girl who grew up worshipping the New Kids on the Block and later fell even harder for the Backstreet Boys, having my two favorite boy bands on one bill Friday night was a dream come true (both musically and financially). And I was hardly the only one who thought so. FILE PHOTO BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO The super group Brian Littrell spent two and a half hours delighting the multi-generational (and heavily female) Target Center crowd with tight harmonies, trademark choreography and a show packed with fan favorites (including several shots of Donnie Wahlberg’s abs). NKOTBSB opened with a mash up of the New Kids’ “Single” and Backstreet’s “The One” remixed to Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida.” From there, the groups traded off the stage on the next six songs (including mega hits “You Got It (The Right Stuff)” and “Larger Than Life”) before each performed a couple extended sets and multiple costume changes. All of the signature tunes were present in the 30-plus song set, from Backstreet’s “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)” and “I Want It That Way” to New Kids’ “Cover Girl” and “I’ll Be Loving You Forever.” But there were also a few unexpected treats in the NKOTBSB bag of tricks. The Backstreet Boys dusted off “10,000 Promises” from one of their first overseas albums to surprise their diehard fans while the New Kids pulled out the “Step By Step” B-side “Valentine Girl.” Both groups came together to close the show with their joint single “Don’t Turn Out The Lights” before reappearing for an encore of “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and “Hangin’ Tough” and a blast of pyrotechnics. From the front row to the last row, the crowd lapped it all up, leaving happily stuffed with the nostalgia of musical decades past.

SCOTT COUNTY FAIR

Draft horse for beginners BY MATHAIS BADEN editor@jordannews.com

So you like horses, you’re curious about the draft horse show at the Scott County Fair, and you’d like to enjoy the show this week? Here are the basics a firsttime fan might need to know at the show: I What: The Scott County Fair draft horse show is a competition among workhorse breeds. “They were the freight wagons, the 18-wheelers, of their day,” said Jill Westbrook, who comes from of Schulenburg, Texas, to run the show. I When: The fair runs Wednesday to Sunday, July 27-31. Draft horse shows take place at 4 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday, and 1 p.m. Sunday.

I Where: The fairgrounds are located at 7151 190th St. W. in St. Lawrence Township, near Jordan. Ask a golf-cart shuttle driver to take you from the parking lot to the south ring; it’s a long walk past the Midway. I Who: Ames Construction bases its team in Jordan, but draft horses also come from 11 different states and Canada, according to Westbrook. This year, some of them come from as far away as Arizona, Montana and Quebec, among other areas. I Why: It’s free! You should attend if you like to watch draft horse hitch competitions – featuring “some of the best of the best,” Westbrook said. “It’s worth the money – come, park (for $10) and see this!” For the teams, it’s a matter

of competing for cash – with $50,000 in donated premiums that can be won by teams, the Scott County Fair pays well, even compared to a state fair – and earning points that can lead to regional championships. I How: One judge with experience in driving an eight-horse hitch watches for driver control and much more. The judge signals for drivers to have their teams trot (animation), walk, reverse (back), and line up in the ring. Teams are judged on their soundness, confirmation (overall appearance and lack of blemish) and cleanliness. Horses should not rear up, shy away from the rail, kick at another horse, or break stride or canter when they are supposed to trot. The

cleanliness of the harness and wagon also factors into the judge’s decision.

If the competition is close, finalists will return to the ring for a drive-off.
