Police warn about solicitors asking for military donations

BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

Police in Savage have battled all summer with solicitors going doorto-door without permits, but after a check forging incident reported in late July, police have been investigating a for-profit company whose employees they say may have misrepresented it as a nonprofit.

On July 5, a solicitor from Freedom United Sales, a company that goes door-to-door selling care packages to be sent overseas to American sol-

diers, was issued a citation for soliciting without a permit after police received a complaint from a resident.

On July 25, police received a report of check forgery after a 19-year-old man from Savage got his bank statement and saw that a $40 check he gave to that same solicitor had been altered to read $140.

Detective Sergeant Laura Kvasnicka investigated the claim and determined it was likely an isolated incident. But sensing a more alarming issue at hand, she decided to look deeper into the company.

After talking with the 19-year-old, she learned that the solicitor had told him that all of his $40 would go toward a care package sent to a soldier overseas. The solicitor made no mention that Freedom United Sales was a for-profit company.

HISTORY OF PROBLEMS Kvasnicka then learned that the owner of Freedom United Sales, Spencer Rowell, previously ran another company called Smartraiser that

Despite impassioned pleas from five residents and alternative proposals from two council members, the Savage City Council approved an application from the Prior LakeSavage Area School District Monday night that clears the way for grading, tree removal and realignment of a road right-of-way at the Prior Lake High School site.

Councilman Gene Abbott and C ou nci lwom a n Ja ne Vic tor ey scrambled to offer alternate proposals to cutting down the trees, but ultimately, the majority vote won out.

City Council approval of District 719’s application gives the go-ahead for removal of South-Savage 9 (SS-9), a 550-tree Mesic oak forest located on the southwest side of the Prior Lake High School campus. The removal will make way for construction of a 680-foot roadway connecting the high school site to the Prior Lake Aggregates (PLA) property.

“This is a partnership between the city, the school district, the county and Prior Lake Aggregates,” said Mayor Janet Williams. “Prior Lake Aggregates has the right to develop their property … there are a number of gravel pits that now are developments. This happens, this is a natural progression.”

In a letter from Scott County Public Works Division, Engineer Mitchell Rasmussen wrote, “The County supports the City’s efforts to establish a public road connection between the future development on the Prior Lake Aggregates site and the signal at 154th Street.”

WHAT’S NEXT?

development of the PLA site – just to the south of the high school.

PLA’s most recent development scenario shows the current gravel pit transformed to include 1,000 mu lti-fa mi ly/tow n home u nits, 226 single-family residences and 375,000 square feet of commercial business.

“It is our anticipation that sometime within the next year, PLA will be in with a master development plan for the overall area with an intent to start phase one of development down in the southeast quadrant in the next couple of years as the economy picks up,” said Tucker.

Tucker said the school district has estimated that removal of SS-9 and grading most likely wouldn’t occur for at least three-to-five years.

The overall development of the PLA site could take 10-15 years.

PLA’s 2007 Alternative Urban Areawide Assessment (AUAR) offered two scenarios for the development with the fi rst scenario generating approximately 48,000 vehicle trips through the area per day, and the second scenario generating 34,100 trips per day.

The City further evaluated potential traffic in the area north of County Road 44 and, according to City Engineer John Powell, that area alone could generate anywhere from 25,600 to 34,200 trips per day at full build out.

“To give you some scale to compare that with, the proposed Keystone development (behind the Savage Library) is expected to generate 382 trips per day,” said Powell. “Village Commons (the proposed development behind Rainbow Foods) was estimated to generate 2,300 trip per day.”

The request from District 719 was made in anticipation of the future

Village Commons development (re)introduced to community New proposal scales back on apartments, retail

BY AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com

A handful of residents attended a neighborhood meeting July 26 to learn about the revised plans for a proposed 14-acre development behind Rainbow Foods called Village Commons. The preliminary development plan will go before the Planning Commission at its Aug. 18 meeting during which a public hearing will be held.

The applicant, Ron Clark Construction and Design, submitted a revised development application on July 8 requesting that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan and rezone the property from commercial to

mixed use.

The Economic Development Commission (EDC) reviewed the project at its July 20 meeting and unanimously recommended approval.

“This is a way better plan than before,” said EDC member John Turner.

“This is how zoning should work.”

CHANGES TO THE PLAN The development plan previously came before the City Council in February, at which time it was turned down. At that time, City Council members listed the density and loss of commercial space in the community as their reasons for denying a change to the Comprehensive Plan to make

Ron Clark’s newest proposal reduces the number of apartment units from 66 to 48 and shifts the apartment building to the south so it’s “better screened” from nearby homes. Eighteen two-story rental townhomes were added in the northeast quadrant, and

In 20 07, District 719 and PLA discussed a cooperative agreement between the two parties that would allow PLA to grade the area and establish an alignment for a future connecting road.

Through that cooperative agreement, District 719 would benefit from having the initial cost of the road grading completed at PLA’s expense and having additional area for the athletic fields that PLA has agreed to build.

City staff estimated that the cost of building the road in the current right-of-way (without removing SS-9) would require an extensive retaining wall to transition between the two properties, which are separated by a 60-70 foot elevation difference.

The cost for the retaining wall and roadway would be about $1.9 million, according to Tucker.

By contrast, a roadway built in the new alignment (with SS-9 removed) would cost about $420,000. “If somebody came to me and said, ‘boy, have I got a deal for you. For only $2 million, I can get you nine acres of really nice looking oaks,’ I wouldn’t be buying them,� said Councilwoman Christine Kelly.

Councilman Al McColl noted that at the end of the day, the city, school district or both would have to pay the $1.9 million if SS-9 wasn’t removed. “The bottom line is it’s coming out of our taxpayers’ pocket,� McColl said. “And I have heard for eight years – loud and clear – cut spending, cut my taxes.�

AGAINST THE PROPOSAL When the fi nal plat to build Prior Lake High School was approved in 2001, the Council agreed to leave SS-9 intact – a fact that several residents reminded the council of during the comments portion of the meeting. “At that time, there was also a lot of discussion about the future need for a road connection to the southwest,� noted Tucker.

and on Sept. 1 the price will increase to $125.

“People in city councils are only as good as their word,� said Featherstone Trail resident Karol Jensen. “We were given the word that SS-9 would be saved, and here the School Board is recommending that it be cut down.�

Terry Berndt, a resident of Natchez Lane, said SS-9 “looks like a prime environmental learning center to me instead of a roadway and ball fields.�

Berndt further stated, “If I were to take my son out this afternoon and plant a tree, he’d be gone five generations before we’d see trees that size.�

Tucker reminded residents that SS-8 and SS-10, located to the north of SS-9, would remain intact.

John Parlin, a resident of 127th Street, said he was concerned that Savage would end up “a paved-over suburb like every other one around here.�

City Administrator Barry Stock noted that approximately 34 percent of the land area in Savage is parks, wetland and dedicated open space. “That’s a pretty high percentage among developed cities in the metro area,� he said.

Yosemite Avenue resident Peter Schmitz hailed SS-9 as “one of the most pristine pieces of woods we’ve got here in Savage,� according to information taken from the City’s Natural Resources Inventory done in 2001.

Stock reminded Schmitz that SS-9 was the best property identified “within the study area,� which only included a select portion of southern Savage and did not include MurphyHanrehan Park Reserve.

Schmitz further questioned what PLA would do with the gravel it mines out of the SS-9 area and wondered who would benefit from the rock.

Tucker said that initial estimates show very little gravel in the SS-9 area, but the gravel that is there will be used for grading in PLA’s development.

M ayor Wi l l i a m s s a id a “more important� fact is that all merchantable trees on the SS-9 site would be used for lumber in PLA’s development.

Non-merchantable trees would be g round up for bio -mass fuel and the remaining wood and stumps would be used for mulch.

COUNCIL DISCUSSION Counci lwoman Kel ly expressed her concern about the traffic generated by the development. “If we don’t put some kind of connection in, the new access will be through the north (a residential neighborhood), which is not designed for the amount of traffic we’re talking about,� said Kelly.

Councilwoman Jane Victorey suggested again a plan she proposed at previous meetings that would include moving the

road and right-of-way closer to County Road 27 and away from SS-9. She also recommended that the soccer fields be moved to a different location – perhaps within the PLA development.

Victorey further said the road could be paid for using the additional tax base from the PLA development, building permits and the additional state dollars received by the school district for increased enrollment.

Powell noted that the alignment Victorey recommended was previously considered and known as the “frontage road alignment.� “From a traffic standpoint, we didn’t find that a viable option because it would not provide the capacity and the direct connection to the 154th Street signal the way the school district’s recommended alignment does,� said Powell.

Victorey then urged that a decision be postponed and that SS-9 be left “intact for as long as we possibly can, because at this time we can’t say how long that (PLA development) is going to take.�

Councilman Abbott took the audience on a verbal history tour beginning with the high school development in 2001. He also questioned the school district’s position on safety if it will allow “a road to come through school district property.â€? “Ideally, no one would want to have a road come through, but we’re not talking about ideal,â€? said Prior Lake-Savage Area School District Superintendent Sue Ann Gruver. “In an ideal world ‌ we would let all the trees grow in every place they possibly could.â€?

Abbott continued to press Gruver, wondering if the ideal situation for the school district would be for SS-9 to be left in tact with no road connection to school district property. “Mr. Abbott, our recommendation is the proposal you see in front of you,� said Gruver. “This is the ideal solution to a very complex problem that we’ve dealt with over the last decade, three superintendents, countless school board members and I can’t even tell you how many countless meetings of both the city of Savage with our school district committee, as well as combining with PLA and the County.�

After two hours of discussion, a motion was made by McColl and seconded by Kelly.

Council members Victorey and Abbott voted against District 719’s application.

I n a rel ated mat ter, t he Council voted unanimously to adopt a resolution calling a public hearing on Aug. 15 to consider the vacation of the existing right-of-way, drainage and utility easements on the school district property.

(Right) Chad Polus of Savage musters a smile as magician Kevin Hall pushes a sword through Polus’ neck. It was a different kind of “swordswallowing” trick, with a real sword. Hall performed four shows at the Scott County Fair on Thursday and Friday, July 28-29. (Above) “That’s actually tighter than I thought it was going to be,” Hall said, after Scott County Fair board members Dave Minar (left), Jim Terwedo and Ed Bowler put the magician in a straitjacket, chained him up and left him on stage. Hall managed to escape anyway.

care: independent living with services; assisted living with one-, two- and three-levels of care; and memory care.

Councilman Gene Abbott wondered what the view of the development would be from city hall. “Will it tower over the library?” he asked.

Savage Planning Manager Bryan Tucker said that the three-story senior care facility would be about six-to-eight feet higher than the library; however, he noted that the memory care wing would only be one-story tall and would be the most visible portion of the

building to those viewing it from Alabama Avenue.

As for the equestrian center, that is a “personal dream” for Olson, and she has been looking for an opportunity that would allow her to have her own stable rather than board her horses elsewhere.

Mayor Williams wondered about the plan to control horse waste and odor.

Olson said that the “stateof-the-art manure removal system” would include a concrete pad and large roll-off container that would be removed weekly and taken by Waste Manage-

ment to a special dumping area.

T he 2 4 -acre prop er t y i s owned by local resident Karl Bohn, who is the brother of Mayor Janet Williams. After consulting with the city attorney, Williams was advised that voting on the plan was acceptable since she does not have a direct or indirect fi nancial interest in the project.

The next step for Keystone Communities will be to obtain plat and final site plan approval from the City Council before construction can begin.

City cuts dog-waste bag program, could save $13,000 After 10 years of providing dog-waste bags at 40 stations throughout the city of Savage, staff has opted not to refi ll the stations when the bags run out.

The number of dog bags dispensed has become “excessive,” according to Parks Superintendent Jon Allen, who estimated that approximately 80,000 bags were used in 2010.

“We only have about 400 dogs licensed in the city,” said Allen, who noted that with 26,900 residents, that’s nearly three bags per person.

“What are people doing with

these bags?” asked Kathy Peterson, Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources commissioner. “These are not multiuse bags.”

“I think it’s kind of like when you pull a Kleenex out of a box,” said Allen. “Sometimes you get more than one.”

The City estimated that it could save $13,000 per year by not restocking the bags.

Elisa Kensinger, Parks Commission alternate, wondered if the City could use a portion of that $13,000 to make the dog park at Xenwood Avenue nicer.

“The big complaint I hear is that there’s no fresh water for dogs or even water to hose them off after playing in the mud,” said Kensinger.

Parks Commissioner Ron Schwartz wondered if the City would consider a station and bags at the dog park only where they’ve been “heavily used every time we’ve been there.”

“Folks using the park call then the dispensers are empty,” said Schwartz.

Parks Commission Chair Matthew Johnson suggested that a local vet, retailer or other business sponsor the bags with

their name or logo to offset the cost.

Prior to making the decision, Allen consulted with eight surrounding cities and found that Eagan was the only city that offered “a couple of stations.”

“No cities have indicated a problem,” said Allen. “Signage goes a long way to remind people that, ultimately, they’re responsible for their pets.”

The City will continue to refill the stations until its supply of dog waste bags is depleted, then the stations will be removed.

Irrigation should improve quality of McCann Park fields The city of Savage awarded a contract Monday night (Aug. 1) to Greenside Inc. for the installation of an irrigation system at McCann Park where there are two youth baseball fields and a regulation size soccer field.

The $54,125 project will be split between the City, Prior Lake Athletics for Youth (PLAY) and Prior Lake Soccer Club (PLSC) with each orga-

nization paying for costs that benefit their group.

PLAY and PLSC originally approached the City in 2010 about the lack of irrigation and the conditions of the fields.

The City will be responsible for $23,181, PLAY will be responsible for $16,732 and PLSC will be responsible for $14,211.

As part of the agreement, the city of Savage will pay for the

entire project up front out of the Park Fees Fund, then send an invoice to PLAY and PLSC for their shares.

The project is contingent on PLAY and PLSC receiving approval from their respective boards for the cost-sharing program. With approval, it is estimated that work would begin in late August.

According to Parks Superin-

tendent Jon Allen, the soils at McCann Park and other park sites in the western portion of the City are generally clay-based and include gravel topsoil, which results in a compacted surface.

A 20 0 6 Parks and Recreation Task Force report in 2006 ranked the renovation of the athletic fields at McCann Park as a high priority.

Tackling Kids’ Sports Injuries: The Importance of Mouthguards Dr. Trudy Bonvino

Orthodontist

The damage caused by a ball, puck or elbow to the face can be devastating for a child, often resulting in serious injury to and damage to the teeth. A properly fitting mouthguard can buffer a blow that would otherwise cause broken teeth, jaw injuries or cuts to the lips, tongue or face. It can also reduce the incidence and severity of concussions. The following are important tips to help keep your child’s smile safe.

Start young: Injuries to the jaws and face occur at all ages and levels of play. A mouthguard is an essential piece of athletic gear that should be part of an athlete’s standard equipment from a young age. Experts recommend mouthguards for all athletes participating in recreational activities that pose a risk of contact to the mouth.

Types of mouthguards: Mouthguards generally fall into 3 categories: stock or “ready to wear” mouthguards; formed “boil and bite” mouthguards, and custom made mouthguards. All mouthguards provide varying degrees of protection.

They differ primarily in cost, comfort and fit.

What mouthguard is best for your child? A good mouthguard is resilient and tear-resistant. It should fit well, feel comfortable to wear, and should not interfere with breathing or with speech. Your dentist or orthodontist can recommend the style best suited to your child’s needs and level of play.

A good fit is critical: Just as kids outgrow their football helmet and hockey skates, facial growth and eruption of teeth can cause a child to “outgrow” last season’s mouthguard. Like other sports gear, mouthguards can wear out, causing them to be less effective.

Periodically check the condition and fit of your childs mouthguard and replace it as needed.

As a proud sponsor of youth athletics, Cosmopolitan Orthodontics is proud to offer a complimentary custom-made mouthguard for your young athlete. Simply contact our office to schedule a fitting and redeem the certificate below for your child’s mouthguard!

FROM THE NEWSPAPER STAFF

My journey from here to there and back again It’s an interesting and exciting path that has brought me to where I am today as the new editor of the Savage Pacer (with a glorious twomile commute to the office!)

My journalism career officially began at age 20 at the end of my second year of college. I was awarded a summer internship at Lakeshore Weekly News (LWN) – a community newspaper covering the cities surrounding Lake Minnetonka. (Of course, my mother will tell you my writing career took off in 7th grade with my illustrated story, “A Day at the Zoo,” and subsequent A+.)

At the end of my internship, I was offered a staff reporter position at LWN and two years after that became the assistant editor.

A year after that, I was offered the position of editor.

I was riding a wave of good fortune as my friends struggled to find full-time jobs in their fields.

With all the wisdom of a 23-yearold, I didn’t believe it was possible to find your dream job, or your “purpose” for that matter, at such a young age.

I continued in the editor position for two more years, then my father retired and my family moved to Florida. So, as a 20-something who believed she had a sea of sparkling opportunities stretched out before her, I ventured to the Sunshine State in search of bigger and better challenges.

Florida is completely different from Minnesota as you might know from vacations. But I’m not just talking about the weather.

Job opportunities like we have in the Twin Cities area are few and far between in Florida, and the idea of culture in my new neck of the woods was lining up to watch grown men race their trucks through the mud. I liken my relocation to jumping off a giant cliff into a deep pool of water without first locating an access point to climb back onto shore.

I made a mistake by leaving Minnesota and I knew it only two months after the move. I tried to get my old job back, but the position had been filled.

So I made the best of constant sunshine and the hodge-podge of personalities I encountered. I found an exciting freelance writing gig at a weekly newspaper that covered the Treasure Coast on the east-side of Florida, and worked part time at a daily newspaper. Still, I longed for home and for the weekly newspaper I’d left behind.

I only lasted two years in Florida – finally jumping ship (literally) when the economic realities of that area forced me to bartend on a casino ship to pay my mortgage.

(Something exceptionally good did happen to me in Florida. My boyfriend from Minnesota, Mr. Chad Lyon, had moved with me to Florida and we got married on the beach in 2003 surrounded by 80 friends and family members who made the trip from Minnesota to be with us.)

Safely back in Minnesota, we bought a house in Shakopee where we lived for seven years before buying the home we now own in

LYON EDITOR

Prior Lake – mere steps from the Savage border.

During that time I worked as a freelance writer and editor for newspapers and magazines throughout the Twin Cities area – convinced that my ship had sailed on a full-time opportunity in journalism. I also sold real estate, and, most recently, worked for my hometown school district as the assistant to the superintendent.

Most importantly, I had two children in 2007 and 2008 whose creation rivals anything I’ve ever accomplished in my life!

Despite the miraculous and wonderful happenings in my life, I often had that nagging feeling that plagues so many of us: something was missing and I wasn’t utilizing the God-given gifts I’d been given – namely my writing ability. I worried that I’d lost my opportunity for career fulfillment when I’d jumped out of that perfectly fine boat in search of something more – in Florida no less.

But then, the Savage Pacer opportunity came along and, pardon the cliché, it was like a career life raft. I finally stopped grasping for something to hold me up and took back control of my vessel.

I’ll be honest, some of my friends and even my husband questioned my move back to newspapers when “the Internet is taking over.” Of course, I examined the possibility as well, but I believe that weekly newspapers like the Savage Pacer serve an integral role in the community, supplying local news that you just can’t find in the daily newspapers or on the news channels.

As for the Internet, I wonder how many parents would be content perusing a story about their daughter’s little league team on a website, then printing it off on the printer (which half the time is out of ink)? A print-out wouldn’t fly with grandma. She’d want the real deal. She’d want the newspaper clipping.

So, that’s a little bit about me.

My journey so far has been an interesting and exciting one, but it has brought me to where I am now. As your new editor, I look forward to learning more about you, too. Please send me an email or give me a call if there’s something happening in the community or someone you think I should know about.

Getting to know city takes more than GPS device I’ve been here at the Pacer for more than a month now, and one of the most exciting (and daunting) challenges I’ve faced has been getting to know a new community inside and out.

I spent the first 23 years of my life in Eden Prairie (feel free to boo, we’re used to it). While most of my friends moved out after high school, I lived at home with my parents to save money during college for all four (OK, four-and-a-half) years.

When I graduated in December, I moved seven minutes away from my childhood home to a house on the border of Eden Prairie and Minnetonka. And shortly after I graduated, I got a gig filling in as a reporter at the Pacer’s sister paper, the Eden Prairie News.

So in my 23-and-a-half years, I think it’s fair to say I haven’t really been pushed too far out of my comfort zone.

When I got the opportunity to work for the Pacer, I was thrilled to not only have the chance to prove myself as a reporter, but also to finally move out of my bubble and get familiar with a new community.

And so far, it’s been a fantastic experience.

For the most part.

In my opinion, the most important part of learning a new community is getting to know its people, and in that regard, things have been going swimmingly. I’ve met principals of the various schools I’ll be covering, Police Chief Rod Seurer, Mayor Janet Williams and I’ve chatted with countless residents and business owners while researching stories and taking pictures at Dan Patch Days and Night to Unite. I can say with complete honesty that everyone I’ve met so far has greeted me with a smile and been genuine and truly helpful in my quest to better know

Alex

HALL STAFF WRITER

Savage.

But the other part of getting to know a new city is the one that has been giving me trouble: learning where the heck everything is.

I’ve always been a bit, well, directionally-challenged to say the least (which is perhaps why I never ventured too far out of Eden Prairie). My parents bought me a GPS this past Christmas and on most occasions it has made my life much, much easier.

In June, I drove way up north to my family’s annual vacation spot in the Chippewa National Forest for the first time. Normally, a ride that long would have me trembling with anxiety. But thanks to my GPS, it was a breeze. Four hours and roughly two bags of sunflower seeds later, I was there.

When I returned to start my job here at the Pacer, I used the GPS to find my new office. I used the GPS to find the police station, several different schools and many of the excellent restaurants the city has to offer. So when I was headed to Murphy-Hanrehan Regional Park Reserve last week to take pictures of the Murphy Mountain Bike Sprint Series, naturally, I used my GPS to find it.

Bad idea.

My usually trusty GPS decided to take me to a random house. Sure, it was in a cul-de-sac somewhat adjacent to the park, but it was nowhere near the park’s entrance.

I still had about 15 minutes until the race started, so I decided to use the map on the device to find the entrance. But as I said before, navigation really isn’t my strong suit.

After more than an hour of driving around, ending up in the heart of Lakeville and having to take I-35W north to get back, I still wasn’t ready to give up. Sure, I probably wouldn’t be able to get a great photo as I had planned, but I definitely wasn’t about to let the park win. I’m a very competitive person … yes, even with inanimate objects and places like parks.

I eventually found the park’s entrance after an hour and a half, snapped some photos and left somewhat satisfied knowing even though I hadn’t beaten the park that day, we at least tied.

On my way back, I couldn’t help but think of all the great people I’ve met already in Savage. Had I just taken two minutes to stop and ask somebody for directions, I know that person would have been more than happy to help. Getting to know the layout of a city is a lot easier when you let the people within it guide you along. And lucky for me, the people of Savage seem to be a great bunch.

So if you see me around town, feel free to come say hi and introduce yourself; I would really appreciate it. And if I look distraught or like I’m competing with yet another geographic location, please feel free to point me in the right direction.

LETTERS FROM READERS PUBLIC SAFETY

Shame on you, yard swing thief Recently, my six-foot A-frame yard swing was stolen from our yard on Ottawa and 124th Street.

I have lived at this location for 11 years and that swing has sat out from late spring until early fall every year.

The 10 residents in our complex have all enjoyed the use of the swing throughout the nice weather months to sit and visit, read, or just to watch other residents drive by and wave.

What a shame that some unlawful person felt the need to take that away from us.

In the old part of the downtown Savage residential area, we all try to look out for each other and I have always felt fortunate to live here in

a community where I feel safe. It’s just so disheartening that someone would do this and take away part of that feeling.

Whoever you are, shame on you!

SS-9 FOREST

Disappointed in City Council’s decision I was sadly disappointed in the City Council’s decision to destroy the SS-9 messic oak forest. After listening to the details of the project, I was less convinced than ever that the forest had to go.

Several good alternatives were offered that could have saved it. After I heard the details, the phrase that kept ringing in my ears was “Ball fields,

A comment was made by Christine Kelly that it is (the school district’s) land and they should be able to do what they want with it. Ms. Kelly, please explain that to the developer behind Rainbow that wanted to put in Workforce Housing and was denied. According to you, it’s his land. He should be able to do what he wants with it.

An agreement was made when the school was built that the SS-9 would be protected. If the site wasn’t appropriate for the school, it should not have been built there.

Unfortunately, in this world, it will always be the constant burden of people who want to save nature and everything we treasure from the people who want to destroy it.

All I have to say to the City Council is, next time I want it in writing.

PROVING YOUR CASE

Jenny Aldridge, DVM Javery Benson, DVM Julie Steller, DVM

Plaintiffs in civil cases generally have to prove their cases by “a preponderance of the evidence,� meaning that the judge or jury must be convinced that each element of the plaintiff’s legal claim has been proven only slightly better than 50 percent. However, there are a few types of civil cases in which the burden of proof may be higher. For instance, cases involving claims for fraud or for the breach of an oral agreement to make a will may require the plaintiff to prove the truth of each element by “clear and convincing evidence.� The evidence generally must be stronger in claims requiring this higher burden of proof. Knowing the difference helps plaintiffs know what they are up against.

If you have any questions about the burden of proof in a case, or about any legal issue, please call and make an appointment to speak with one of our compassionate lawyers. We have years of experience dealing with all aspects of the legal system and will be happy to help you understand your case. Our practice accepts a wide variety of cases, including those that deal with estate planning, corporate services, bankruptcy, and real estate law. If you have any questions, call 952-226-1202 to make an appointment. Our address is 6001 Egan Drive, Suite 140, Savage, MN. Multiple Services. Singular Commitment.

HINT: The burden of proof in civil cases is considerably less than the “beyond reasonable doubt� standard to which criminal trials must adhere.

COMMUNITY VOICES

Freeing our government from debt starts with us We have yet to see a U.S. president from Minnesota, but it’s not for lack of trying.

For the second time in history, two Minnesotans are facing each other in a race for the White House. The first time was in 1968, when Sen. Eugene McCarthy and Vice President Hubert Humphrey competed for the Democratic nomination. Humphrey won the party contest, but lost the election to Richard Nixon. Now, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Rep. Michele Bachmann are in the pool of Republican candidates.

In 1984, former Vice President Walter Mondale won the Democratic nomination, but lost the election to Ronald Reagan. In the meantime, former Minnesota Republican Gov. Harold Stassen ran for president five times and Communist Gus Hall ran four times.

I can’t predict whether or not either of the Minnesota candidates will win the party’s nomination, much less the election in 2012. Pawlenty is known for his “Minnesota Nice� personality. That could be a liability or an asset. He’s perceived as “dull,� but if the campaign season becomes raucous enough, an affable guy who cracks jokes a lot might be very appealing.

Bachmann is considered anything but dull. As the darling of the Tea Party movement, she is characterized as extreme by some, but if public concern over the national debt grows, she could be catapulted into the White House as the “Anti-

Obama.�

Our previous president was roundly criticized for his deficit spending. Our current president is spending even more. This seems to be a bipartisan problem.

I’ve thought this issue over in terms of my personal life as well as government, and I think we might have a cultural problem here. It took me a while, but I have begun to realize that I take debt too lightly. Most of us carry more debt than we should. We see commercials for debt settlement services, bankruptcy lawyers and easy credit all at the same time.

Perhaps our government spends too much money, because Washington is filled with people like us. We think in terms of money for every need.

My parents’ generation grew up during the Great Depression. My father’s childhood friend, Martin O’Connor (after whom I was named) recently said to me, “A steady income was pretty much unheard of.� His father

had a pile of junk parts in his farmyard. He and my grandfather were known for being able to “fix almost anything with junk.�

During World War II, Martin Sr. spotted a neighbor looking over his junk pile.

The neighbor said, “I may as well take this stuff. The government is going to take it anyway.� Martin Sr. answered, “We’ll just wait for the government to come get it.�

Now, that is an alien world to us, and technology is such that we can’t go back to fixing things with junk. But my parents’ generation lived by a completely different paradigm, and it fascinates me. My dad, and his friend Martin, both passed away, leaving basically no debt behind.

I don’t have to be able to turn a Model T into a snowmobile (I wouldn’t have thought it possible had I not seen a picture of one!) in order to change the way I think about money. If I find myself thinking, “I deserve this,� I should also be thinking, “Can I afford this?�

We hear from Washington that we, the people, deserve this and that. That doesn’t matter if we can’t afford it. If we don’t get it, the government will never get it.

It starts with us.

It might have been a steamy Tuesday night, but that didn’t keep kids and parents alike from turning out to block parties and cookouts throughout the community for the Night to Unite. The annual summer event, formerly known as National Night Out, is an effort to bring neighborhoods together and strengthen the partnerships between police departments and their communities. Many of the parties received visits from police officers in squad cars, and some lucky ones even get to meet paramedics and firefighters.

SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS

MILLIONS OF LESSONS GIVEN

Biblical worldview can be summed up by four themes Human beings are hardwired to behave on the basis of what they believe. We dream and plan, will and act, emote and communicate according to our perception of reality. Each of us possesses a conceptual filter by which we interpret the world around us and that interpretation fuels our decisions.

At first, this conceptual filter is largely innate. I held a newborn baby girl in my arms recently who capably communicated to everyone in the room that life was good in her mother’s arms and torture anywhere else. But as we mature, we gain the capacity to rationally develop the contours of our grid.

Emotions (the fear of heights, for instance), affections (such as the love of family), and life experiences (say, suffering) will continue to play a large role in determining how we interpret life. Yet we can refine and reform our perceptions by deliberately structuring our worldview to order our beliefs and thus influence our behavior.

The Bible is predicated on the counter-cultural premise that the structuring of one’s worldview is not a matter of individual freedom. Rather, the Bible insists that God speaks and that it is our responsibility and joy to conform our worldview to what the Creator has revealed. We are called to submit to God’s counsel such that our perceptions of reality are filtered through the framework of revelation and then to ethically respond to its implications.

The biblical worldview – the conceptual filter by which life is to be interpreted and actions weighed – may be summarized by four overarching themes which have been widely recognized by biblical scholars through the centuries.

Creation. The Bible does not belittle God by laboring to prove his existence. It assumes no other option is rational or safe. Rather, the Bible bursts out of the gate with the opening declaration: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth�

(Genesis 1:1). God made all things good (Genesis 1:31).

He is the source, agent, and consummating glory of

Dan

MILLER SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS

the universe (Psalm 19:1-4; Romans 1:19-20; Colossians 1:16). God made people in his image to commune with him in worship and serve as his vice-regents on earth (Genesis 1:26-27). God thus has every right and full freedom to determine ethical behavior for his creatures, which he does for their ultimate good (Genesis 2:15-17; Exodus 20:3-17; Deuteronomy 10:12-13; 32:46-47). Life is a gift from his hand; the universe our stewardship.

Fall. Paradise has been lost. By determining they could do better on their own terms, Adam and Eve violated God’s command and the universe was plunged into moral ruin (Romans 5:12, 1819). Since Adam and Eve’s fall from their original standing in grace, it is now our natural bent to violate God’s law and live in disobedience to him, to war with others, and to pursue moral folly (Genesis 3:1-19; Romans 3:10-12; Ephesians 2:13; Titus 3:3).

The essence of all that is wrong in this world is sin – humanity’s fundamental orientation away from fellowship with God and obedience to his law.

Idolatrous lawlessness, rather than reverent obedience, now epitomizes humanity’s relationship to God and his life giving words (Romans 1:21-23; 1 John 3:4). In the perfections of his moral purity, God righteously opposes, and ultimately will judge, such moral infidelity (Romans 1:18; 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9).

Redemption. God pursues sinners with saving grace.

Fully deserving judgment, our moral rescue comes from above, not from within. It is received as a gift of the

God who righteously exacts a just penalty for sin, but graciously provides a sacrifice to substitute for the sinner (Genesis 3:8-12, 21; Leviticus 1:1-4; John 1:29).

Ultimately, the good news is that rescue from our moral depravity is not provided by a weak God who merely overlooks our sin. Nor is salvation achieved as we find goodness in ourselves.

Redemption from sin is received as a gift from God and only on his terms (Ephesians 2:8-10). These terms involve a turning away from our sins in repentance, throwing ourselves at the mercy of God, and trusting in his provision of forgiveness.

The ultimate sacrifice for our sins is God’s eternal Son, Jesus Christ, whose death by crucifixion paid the penalty of sin and whose resurrection defeated death, ultimately for those who place their saving faith in his work (John 3:15-18; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24-25).

Consummation. The biblical worldview not only looks at redemption from sin in this life, but at the final glorification of those who are now being transformed by the saving grace of Christ (Romans 8:18-30; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18). This hope is also tethered to an anticipation of Christ’s victorious return to set up his kingdom on earth (Revelation 19:1120:1-6). Such hope, coupled with the reality of one’s eventual accountability before the throne of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10), radically reorients one’s interpretation of daily life.

There are many alternative worldviews. I can only testify that as I have grown in my understanding and application of this biblical filter (creation, fall, redemption, consummation) my life has been characterized by a corresponding sense of stability and joy. I wish nothing less for you.

WestWood Elementary School’s halls are full of students, in lines, in pairs or alone, with adults guiding and directing them, even though it’s summer. Winding through the building’s maze of corridors – forward, a quick left, then a right – punctuated with easels reminding students of the activities they’ll soon participate in, eventually you’ll come to a bustling room full of excited fifth-graders and the adults who care for them.

On Tuesday, the room’s floor was dotted with partially finished “no-sew� fleece blankets, the cozy and colorful leftovers of a morning activity and the child care’s latest charitable venture.

Since last week, Kids’ Company students in grades four through seven have directed their energies toward benefitting Ella’s Halo, a Richfield-based nonprofit dedicated to easing struggles for families of children born prematurely. The fifth-graders, corralled by Site Leader Kevin Humbert, have taken the project’s reins. The students drew and designed posters advertising the drive, which collects books and disposable cameras for Ella’s Halo to provide to families whose children are in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and also decorated boxes to hold donations. Area parents Ryan and Taryn Krumwiede founded the charity in late

2009 and named it for their prematurely born daughter Ella, who lived in an NICU for 83 days before passing away. “One thing the hospital lacks is small comforts of home, those personal items new parents have for their newborn babies,� Taryn Krumwiede said. “Having a special blanket to wrap Ella in was important to us, and it helped us be able to feel like her parents even though doctors and nurses were really taking care of our daughter on a daily basis. We felt that others in the NICU missed those small comforts of home, too, so we wanted to do something to help bring that into the hospitals.�

The Kids’ Company fifthgraders got crafty, making five sizes of the no-sew bed and crib coverings – often called “tie blankets.� That day, trios and quartets of students made about 30 blankets, 10 more than Humbert had anticipated. “I was obviously excited that we were able to exceed that goal,� he said. “We had 37 kids and every single one of them participated.�

The students participated despite varying levels of familiarity with the craft. “In third grade, we had something just like this, where we made blankets and scarves,� said 11-year-old Cameron Mathis of Savage. “I knew how to tie them because I was in Girl Scouts, but I didn’t know how to measure and cut them,� added 10-year-old Leah Keil, also of

Savage.

Cameron even made an extra blanket in his group. The students cut and measured the fabric and tied the fleece pieces together, completing the blankets in time for an Ella’s Halo representative to pick them up. The blankets are made to fit beds in Children’s of Minnesota’s Minneapolis and St. Paul hospitals and the University of Minnesota’s Amplatz Children’s Hopsital.

James Rud may not have been the ideal candidate to fight the constitutionality of the state’s civil commitment process, but two Shakopee defense attorneys tried so anyway.

The court-appointed attorneys for the infamous sex offender can’t deny that Rud – who admitted victimizing 16 people and sparked the infamous 198 0s Jordan child sex-abuse scandal – fits the defi nition of someone eligible for civil commitment, but they argued there were alternative placement opportunities for him.

Rud, 54, was eligible for intensive supervised release after serving the fi rst 30 years of his 40-year prison sentence, but the Scott County Attorney’s office requested he be civilly committed as a sexually dangerous person with a psychopathic personality upon release.

Scott County District Court Judge Caroline Lennon ruled last September that Rud should be placed at the state’s sexoffender treatment facility in Moose Lake, fi nding that lessrestrictive alternatives failed to protect public safety. The Minnesota Court of Appeals has upheld her decision.

The prison-like Minnesota Sex Offender Program has been the subject of much scrutiny due to its high cost and the fact that no one has ever been released from the facility.

K e v i n Wet her i l le and James Conway, who work for the Shakopee law office Jaspers, Moriarty and Walburg, took a new tact in t hei r a rg uJames ments against Rud Rud’s commitment.

Although civil commitment is only supposed to occur if a less-restrictive alternative isn’t available, Conway argued the state blocks alternative placements for offenders they want to civility commit. Officials are able to do this, he said, because they control access to halfway houses and treatment programs.

For a Level 3 sex offender to get into a halfway house, he needs a referral from a case manager. However, a case manager (who is supposed to help an inmate transition from prison) never met with Rud or even talked to him on the phone, Conway said.

Likewise, a supervised-release agent assigned to Rud failed to investigate any housing opportunities for him, only looking at a couple sites Rud came up with on his own. “The government holds all the keys and locks all the doors for sex offenders with the way the system was set up,� said Conway.

Un li ke t he com mit ment

process for people with mental illnesses, it’s up to the sex offender to prove that a lessrestrictive alternative exists, he said. “If the government holds all the keys to proving that, it’s a façade. No one can prove a lessrestrictive alternate exists if the government prevents you from doing it,â€? Conway said.

Conway said he argued before the Minnesota Court of Appeals that the state is violating offenders’ due-process rights.

In the end, Conway believes Rud’s offense history was too grave for the court to consider the defense’s constitutional arguments. “It was difficult, if not impossible, for them to look beyond that,� he said. “The Court of Appeals ignored the whole argument. This boogeyman theory advanced by the state was an insurmountable challenge.�

The appellate court noted t hat a lt hough Rud mai n ly offended against children he already knew, he also offended against children within as little as 30 minutes of meeting them. It found that Rud demonstrated little progress or improvement while in prison, where he was found in possession of material with “pedophiliac themes.�

When Rud was fi rst incarcerated, he expressed interest in sex-offender treatment, but the state Department of Corrections found he was a lowpriority candidate due to the length of his sentence. In 2006,

he was terminated from the prison sex-offender treatment program because of a letter he sent another inmate that generally described how he offended against children.

Three mental health professionals testified that Rud would require significant monitoring and checks. One suggested he would need monitoring at all times for likely five to 10 years. Another testified that the Minnesota Sex Offender Program was the only place that would provide that level of structure.

All programs Rud proposed were halfway houses that allow access to the community, the appellate court found.

Conway said the defense knew it didn’t have a good chance of winning in Rud’s case, but the constitutional arguments may be presented again in future cases. “Rud had an offense cycle and factual background and number of convictions that make him an ideal candidate for pursual for commitment.

That said, the same arguments we made will have a lot more power and impact on appeal in a situation in which the offender has perhaps a less egregious offense cycle,� he said.

Because the appellate order was an unpublished decision that won’t impact future lower court decisions in other civil commit-ment cases, there’s little chance the Minnesota Supreme Court would take Rud’s case on appeal.

SOLICITORS

compensation for the solicitor and other company overhead.

However, Kvasnicka said she believes that because they’re a for-profit company, that status doesn’t require the oversight that a nonprofit does, and it’s possible that very little, if any, of the money is actually going overseas to help the troops. “These people are spending their money thinking that a care package is going to help the military, but they never receive any confi rmation that anything is ever sent to anyone,� Kvasnicka said.

Rowell said he knows that people take issue with him making money off of troops serving the country overseas, but he said he doesn’t understand why it’s such a big deal. “I haven’t heard people really raising a stink about Haliburton or any of these other organizations or companies rebuilding and making money off that,� Rowell said, “but who’s over there making sure the guys have soap, underwear, socks and stuff like that that they don’t necessarily get issued?�

He continued, “Who’s making sure of that? Their families.

But guess what, sometimes (soldiers) come from families that are a little less fortunate and can’t afford to send that stuff over there.�

Kvasnicka isn’t alone in her concern about Freedom United Sales. In early July, the Wayzata Police Department issued a warning about Freedom United Sales and alerted residents that the company was not a charity.

However, it appears the group has left the state for now. Kvasnicka said the group typically stays in one state for about twoto-three weeks before moving on. “It doesn’t take long for word to get around,� she said.

When Kvasnicka talked to a company representative late last month, she was told the group had gone to Michigan.

The representative also told Kvasnicka that she was in Oregon, where the company is based, and that she would like to have the criminal complaint for the solicitor faxed to her.

But the fax number she provided to Kvasnicka belonged to a Super 8 Motel in Michigan.

W hen Kvasnicka later confronted her about this, she had no explanation.

did essentially the same thing, selling care packages to be sent overseas.

Oregon Attorney General John Kroger issued an alert about Smartraiser earlier this year. Kvasnicka said that after the company began to get a bad reputation, Rowell decided to start over with Freedom United Sales.

Rowell, however, insisted that it was more about changing the name of the company to better reflect that they are a for-profit company. “ T he na me Sma r t raiser could leave questions whether we were a for-profit or nonprofit,� Rowell said in a phone interview. “So we decided to change the name to include the word ‘sale’ so there wasn’t that question and it was even more defi nitive that we are a for-profit company. It is a sale, not a donation.�

Rowell also said the company is very open about the fact that it is a for-profit company. “It says that we’re a for-profit on every page of our website,�

Rowell said, and noted that if the company learns that one of its solicitors has been saying they are a nonprofit or uses the word donation, that solicitor is fi red and the consumer’s money is refunded.

Freedom United Sales says that for every $40 a customer spends, a care package containing socks, underwear, cookies, a book and other items is sent to a soldier overseas. But the company doesn’t say what percentage of that $40 actually goes into the care package, and Rowell said the $40 is used to cover the cost of the package,

A NEW TREND? While the group may be out of Minnesota for now, Kvasnicka said she’s concerned that using American troops or natural disasters to solicit money for profit is the next trend. “The door-to-door magazine sales companies have gotten a really bad rap and people aren’t opening their doors for it as much anymore,� she said. “So I’m thinking now there are going to be these groups going around preying on people’s desire to help with the cause overseas and support our troops.�

Kvasnicka said that residents encountering door-to-door solicitors should always ask to see a permit and should always ask if the company is for-profit. But if residents really want to help the troops overseas, Kvasnicka said they would be better off finding a legitimate nonprofit. “Before you start giving your money away to people going door-to-door who say they’re supporting the military, do your research and fi nd either a locally or nationally-based charitable organization with a good reputation,� Kvasnicka said. “That way you actually know where your money is going.�

InBUSINESS Rubbing the community the right way Local couple has operated massage studio from their home for 18 years

BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

Establishing a level of trust with your massage therapist is an important part of receiving first-rate treatment. And it’s a lot easier to establish that trust when the massage therapist is your neighbor.

Roslynn Hansen of Savage has been running the massage studio, About Face Your Body, at 12629 Natchez Ave., out of her home since 1993 and was one of the first massage therapists in Savage.

Now, the business is one of five home massage studios in the city. Savage City Clerk Ellen Classen said applying for a home massage business license “is a pretty lengthy process.”

Businesses must obtain a therapeutic massage enterprise license, then each massage therapist working for the business must have a therapeutic massage individual license. Classen said Savage doesn’t limit the number of home massage businesses allowed to operate in city limits.

Hansen originally got into the massage business at the urging of several friends. “One friend in particular was like ‘You should make a career out of this,’” said Hansen, “and I said ‘You can make money giving back rubs?’”

In 2002, she met her partner Attila Pegan in Thailand while they attended massage therapy classes and workshops in the country. The pair has twin 6-year-old boys and an 8-yearold son.

WHAT THEY OFFER Since joining forces, the two have combined their skills to offer two main services: therapeutic Thai massage and structural integration.

“There’s a very interesting connection between the Thai massage, which is Eastern, and structural integration, which is from the West,” Pegan said.

Hansen is a Thai massage expert, and her work focuses on relaxing clients through stretching the body.

“I can rub the area (that hurts) and make it feel better, but by stretching it out I can get to the root of the problem and really loosen up the muscles,” Hansen said.

Hansen, who has a background in sports therapy, described the process as “lazy man’s yoga.” The massage is done fully clothed on a yoga mat, and Hansen offers onehour, 90-minute and two-hour

sessions.

Pegan is also wellversed in the art of Thai massage and teaches a class at the CenterPoint massage therapy school in Minneapolis. Last year, Pegan published a textbook and two accompanying DVDs to go along with the class.

Structural integration is a relatively new technique that was introduced in the 1940s, and is something Pegan, who is originally from Hungary, has studied for years.

The therapy takes several sessions and addresses the balance and well-being of the body, and is said to be helpful in treating chronic pain and other conditions. Structural integration is also said to have very positive effects on posture.

“The main part of it is to align all the different parts of the body. The major joints, the ankles, the knees, the hips, the spine, the chest, the neck, the head,” said Pegan. “The point is to integrate the whole body, to make movements more fluid.”

Pegan said even if you have pain in a particular spot, like your shoulder, he still works on the whole body.

“Most of the time the problem is not actually the shoulder,” said Pegan. “It could be the lower back, or the knees,” he said. “So it’s a constant search for the root

COMFORTS OF HOME Both Hansen and Pegan said running a massage studio out of their home has worked wonderfully for them.

The setting is much more welcoming and natural feeling than visiting someone’s office, they said, and it allows them to have a more open, neighborly relationship with the clients.

“They know they can come

NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES

to me with any question about anything health or wellness related,” Hansen said.

The regular perks of working from home apply as well. “You don’t have to pay rent, you don’t have to commute,” said Pegan. “It’s pretty nice.”

Are there any challenges to running a massage studio out of a residence? Pegan and Hansen struggled to think of one, until Hansen finally

said with a laugh, “Managing family life.”

For all the perks they get to enjoy, the clients have their own perks as well. Hansen has a vegetable garden in the back of the house, and when the crops are abundant, clients reap the benefits of that neighborly relationship.

“You come here, get a massage, then here, why not take home some vegetables and salad?” said Hansen.

Try these energy-efficient home enhancements for comfort, savings

C

onserving energy at home can be as simple as swapping incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) or unplugging the computer when it is not in use.

However, a home built for energy efficiency can have an even more significant impact on your family’s energy use.

Taking a look at your home from top to bottom and wall to wall can uncover ways to maximize energy efficiency. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 40 percent of global energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions come from the world’s homes and buildings. Although energy efficient upgrades and home renovations can seem more costly upfront, the investment can help save money and energy in the long term.

Reduce air infiltration Between framing and routing for wiring and plumbing, hundreds of seams, gaps and holes exist in a typical home, which let air in and out. Forty percent of a home’s energy is lost due to this air infi ltration, according to the Department of Energy. In fact, these gaps in an average-size home could fi ll nearly 200,000 basketballs with air every 24 hours.

A cost-effective way to address the issue is with proper air sealing and insulation. For example, Owens Corning EnergyComplete Air Sealing System seals the gaps in the home’s exterior walls before installing fiberglass insulation for thermal protection. The system can reduce air infi ltration by up to 70 percent in new homes and can lead to a savings of up to 33 percent in heating and cooling bills for some homeowners.

When considering home insulation, also look for solutions that

keep the environment in mind. “Every pound of glass fiber thermal insulation saves 12 times more energy each year than was originally used to produce it,” says Frank O’Brien-Bernini, chief sustainability officer for Owens Corning. “In fact, our new EcoTouch insulation uses a minimum of 30 percent postconsumer recycled content and 50 percent total recycled content, as certified by Scientific Certification Systems.”

Revisit the roof Re-roof your home with ENERGY STAR-rated shingles that use granule technology to reflect the sun’s rays and help keep roofs cooler, resulting in more comfortable and energy-efficient living spaces. In some areas, these shingles may also qualify for tax credits. Owens Corning Duration Cool Shingles help save energy without sacrificing beauty. Additionally, a roofing system that includes proper ventilation helps keep moisture and hot air away from the living space.

Eight out of 10 homes in the United States have asphalt shingle roofs, resulting in millions of tons of potential waste that could end up in landfi lls each year as homes are re-roofed. Recycling a home’s old shingles is equivalent to recycling a year’s worth of household waste. Visit Owens Corning Roofing & Asphalt’s shingle recycling program to learn how to choose a contractor that will recycle your roof.

Close the window to air leakage Eliminating drafts can save 5 to 30 percent of a home’s annual energy costs, according to the National Association of Home Builders. Window frames are a common culprit for air seepage.

Consider installing new, energy-efficient windows or sealing

existing windows to address this issue.

Strong and durable fiberglass composite window frames are virtually maintenance-free over their long lifetimes, vastly reducing the need for repair or replacement.

A complete solution from the floor to the roof

methods will not only contribute to the overall health and well-being of your family and community, but deliver long term savings.

“Homeowners should realize that they can enhance their home’s function and style, while simultaneously saving money and the planet,” O’Brien-Bernini says.

Whether you are making minor changes or undertaking major renovations at home, enhancing your home with sustainable

the new plan eliminated the second apartment building and replaced it with 36 two-story for-sale townhomes on the west side.

The revised development plan also provided for one 14,950-square-foot retail building versus three previouslyproposed retail buildings.

“I didn’t think the last plan was a bad plan, but this is a better plan,” said City Administrator Barry Stock during the EDC meeting.

NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS A neighborhood meeting on May 18 introduced the changes to the surrounding neighbors.

About 10 residents attended that meeting and questioned what the view would be from their houses, the definition of workforce housing, demographics and where children would play.

In response to the May 18 questions, Clark held a second

neighborhood meeting on July 26 during which representatives played a 3-D neighborhood animation tour that walked residents through the development from a road view and from an aerial view.

The hot-button topic of workforce housing also came up again at the neighborhood meeting.

Kendra Lindahl from Landform, the planning company for the project, explained that workforce housing is not considered low-income or subsidized housing. “The tenant pays all rent,” she said.

Clark struggled to define exactly how workforce housing works, but ultimately said that it is a tax credit program – similar to a homestead tax credit – that allows for a low mortgage payment and lower rents. He further explained that grants from the Minnesota Housing Finance Association (MHFA) and Metropolitan Council will help with the fi nancing.

Barb Halvorson, a representative from the property management company, talked about the detailed credit, crimi-

nal and housing background checks that would be done on each applicant prior to rental at Village Commons.

“The people here will probably b e mor e t hor ou g h ly screened than others in any residential neighborhood,” said Halvorson, who noted that background and criminal history checks aren’t traditionally done when mortgage companies create loans for residential properties.

Additiona l ly, applicants would be required to fill out a crime-free/drug-free addendum, which would give the management company permission to evict the renter if there was evidence of crime or drug use.

In order to rent at Village Commons, renters would be required to prove that they are earning at least twice the cost of rent and utilities. Initial rents for the 48 apartment units and 18 rental townhomes are $749 for a one bedroom, $898 for a two bedroom and $1,035 for a three bedroom.

“Most likely it’ll be people who already live in Savage or work in Savage, and want to live close to where they work and in a nicer place,” said Halvorson.

A n example of a nearby Workforce Housing development is Heart of the City Townhomes in Burnsville.

One resident questioned why Clark brought back a new development application when

MLS# 4045401

the City Council specifically cited its desire for commercial at the time the original application was denied.

In a memo to staff on July 29, Clark wrote, “We advised the neighbors that we believe that the revised plan meets the City’s Comprehensive Plan goals and provides a viable, appropriate land use transition from the existing single family home and the big box commercial of Rainbow.”

Clark further stated in the memo, “However, we also acknowledged that, as landowners, we must have an exit strategy. Should this application be denied, we have limited viable options under the existing zoning. While the senior housing developers have not generally shown much interest in the site, we do have some interest from a non-profit agency that would be interested in the property for a HUD Section 202 Low Income Senior Housing Project.”

HOLDING OUT FOR COMMERCIAL? The lingering question for city staff and commission members has been, should the 14 acres be retained for commercial?

Stock noted that a commercial development would generate more jobs and a slightly higher tax base; however, “it’s been sitting there as a viable commercial area since Rainbow was developed.”

N This aerial rendering shows the proposed layout of Village Commons. The City’s Economic Development Commission unanimously recommended approval of the project at its July 20 meeting. The Planning Commission will review the proposal at its Aug. 18 meeting during which there will be a public hearing.

Foods was considered by a developer for a movie theater about 10 years ago, and Stock said Aldi recently looked at the space for its grocery store, but wound up choosing space in O’Connell Square instead.

“They picked that site over this site,” said Stock.

Clark has owned the property since 2003, and has “marketed it to high-heaven,” he said, “but it is not suitable to commercial with the exception of the south portion.”

“A big box retailer is not

going to utilize this site,” said EDC member John Julius.

The way Stock see its, “From a neighborhood standpoint, you can’t get any better than this.”

I f approved by t he Cit y Council after Planning Commission review, the project would be completed in three phases. Phase one would include the 48 apartment units and 18 townhomes; phase two would include the 36 for-sale townhomes; and phase three would include the commercial building.

MINNESOTA WOMEN’S STATE AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

LOCAL AUTO RACING

Speed to the flag Pair of Elko features go down to wire

BY JIM BURNS Correspondent

ers on the Burnsville girls golf team way back in 2004.

They led the Blaze to the Class AA state team title their sophomore year (2007).

Samb played in five state tou r naments in her Blaze career with her best finish coming her junior year when she tied for fourth. She was also tied for sixth as a sophomore and tied for eighth as a senior.

Huhnerkoch played in four state tournaments, tying for third her senior year, while finishing tied for sixth as a junior and tying for 12th as a sophomore.

Get to the checkered f lag first – that’s it. Don’t worry about winning margin For New Germany’s Matt Goede and Lonsdale’s Brent Kane, those words proved to be true as the margin of victory combined in the Super Late Model and Thunder Cars features July 30 at Elko Speedway was less than a foot.

Goede scored a win by inches over Jason Schneider in the 40lap Super Late Model feature, while Kane snuck past Ted Reuvers in the 25-lap Thunder Car main event.

Other feature winners included: Dylan Moore of Northfield in Big 8s, Matt Ryan of New Market in Power Stocks, Jacob Mataya of Blaine in Flat T rack Motorcycles, Justi n Otterholt of Shakopee in Spectator Drags and Justin Schelitzche of Lester Prairie in the Dukes of Hazzard Jump.

Racing action continues today (Saturday, Aug. 6) with six divisions of racing. For more information, call (952) 461-7223 or visit www.elkospeedway. com.

In Super Late Models, Donny Reuvers bolted from his outside front row starting position to grab early control with Adam Royle, Steve Anderson and Matt Goede in tow. As Re uvers looked to pull away early, Goede moved under Anderson on lap four to third, but wasn’t in position to challenge either Royle or Reuvers.

Royle got a huge run off of turn two on lap 11 to pressure Reuvers, but was unable to make the pass, while Schneider worked around Nick Murgic and then Anderson to fourth at the midpoint.

The action then went from competitive to all out war as Royle and Reuvers battled high and low, lap after lap, trading the lead until Royle took the point on lap 34 and looked to settle in.

Just one lap after taking the lead, Royle moved high to block Reuvers exiting turn four and the tandem made contact, with Royle into the fence and out the race and Reuvers sent to the tail.

On the restart, Goede jumped to the lead with Schneider and Murgic in tow, but it would be Schneider moving under Goede on lap 38 looking for the lead.

Taking aim at the crown Former Blaze stars finish second, tied for 13th

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

Gretchen Huhnerkoch was the best of the rest in the Minnesota Women’s State Amateur Championship July 26-28 at Hastings Country Club.

W hi le 15 -yea r- old Celia Kuenster of Somerset went wire-to-wire to win the 54-hole event and become the youngest champion ever, Huhnerkoch worked her way up the leader board to fi nish second.

Huhnerkoch, a 2009 Burnsville High School graduate, fi nished second with a threeday total of 227. She carded an even-par 73 in the final 18 holes after shooting back-to-back 77s in the fi rst two rounds.

Meanwhile, Huhnerkoch’s long-time teammate, Natalie Samb, also competed and fi nished tied for 13th with a 54-hole total of 235.

Samb, also a 2009 Burnsville graduate, was tied with Kuenster and Betsy Kelly of Forest Lake for the lead after the fi rst round, shooting 74. But Samb

“I just wanted to play well – even par was pretty much my goal.”

Gretchen Huhnerkoch Former Blaze golfer struggled to an 83 in the second round and came back with a 78 in the fi nal round.

Kuenster shot a pair of 74s in the first two rounds and had a fi nal-round 72 to win by seven shots.

“I’m happy with second place,” Huhnerkoch said on www.mngolf.com. “Celia was just so solid. She played great.

I played well, too. I hit a lot of fairways, which you have to do here – you can’t play this course from the trees – and a lot of greens.

“Another thing I focused on was playing smart, not turning bogeys into double bogeys, or worse, and I was able to do that,” added Huhnerkoch. “I

had the triple bogey at 14 the fi rst day, because of the rake thing. But other than that, I didn’t have anything higher than a bogey.”

The rake thing cost her two shots. Huhnerkoch’s caddie raked a bunker before she played her second shot from in it. That’s a two-stroke penalty, which led to a triple-bogey 7.

“I’m relieved that it didn’t matter,” said Huhnerkoch.

“And my caddie is really happy about that.”

Huhnerkoch made eight birdies in her three rounds.

She started the fi nal round six shots behind Kuenster, who led by as many as nine.

“I wasn’t thinking about winning, or second or third, for that matter,” said Huhnerkoch. “I just wanted to play well – even par was pretty much my goal.”

Both Huhnerkoch and Samb will be entering their third season of Division I golf this fall at Wichita State University. They have been teammates since they were seventh-grad-

Racing action continues at Raceway Park in Shakopee Sunday, Aug. 7 starting at 6 p.m.

Fun tripled on Raceway Park track

BY MICK ANDERSON Correspondent

Raceway Park’s tripleheader drew a host of stock-car racing and show-car competitors and aficionados packed together in a thrilling three days on the oval.

The action started July 29 with “Friday Night Destruction,” featuring “Big Car” Motorized Mayhem in the form of Figure 8’s, Flagpole Racing and the Thunder V8’s.

Big money winners were Mark Bronstad, who won or finished second in all three divisions, along with Steve Motley, Scott Westphal, and Dustin Mann.

Not to be outdone by heavier metal, the “Little Cars” put on equally awesome show as well.

Legends racer Tim Brockhouse won the feature as a fi nal tuneup in a new car before heading for the Charlotte Motor Speedway and the One Million Legends race Aug. 6-7. Ted Hough, James Wenzel and Derek Miles were tops in the Bandoleros and Alec Purcell flew to Flyers heat and feature wins.

The next night and following morning, there was the firstever Show Off Showdown, which drew over 200 custom cars and trucks, hot rods, imports, lowriders, 4x4’s and custom motorcycles from six different states.

“Rusty Townsend and the other Club members did a fantastic job of organizing and running this event”, said Raceway Park General Manager Mike Hellendrung,

DNR

Populations grow Duck, goose numbers improved from last year Minnesota’s 2011 breeding duck and goose populations improved from last year, according to results of the annual Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) spring waterfowl surveys.

The state’s estimated breeding duck population was 687,000 compared with last year’s estimate of 531,000. This year’s estimate is 11 percent above the long-term average of 622,000 breeding ducks.

This year’s mallard breeding population was estimated at 283,000, which was 17 percent higher than last year’s estimate of 242,000 breeding mallards, 3 percent above the recent 10year average and 26 percent above the long-term average.

The blue-winged teal population was 214,000 this year compared with 132,000 in 2010,

and near the long-term average of 219,000 blue-winged teal.

The combined populations of other ducks, such as wood ducks, ring-necked ducks, gadwalls, northern shovelers, canvasbacks and redheads, was 191,000, which is 22 percent higher than last year and 7 percent above the long-term average.

The estimated number of wet lands ( T y pes I I-V ) was 360,000, up 33 percent from last year, 44 percent above the longterm average, and the highest wetland count on record.

“W hen you combi ne t he wet conditions across much of Minnesota last fall, lots of snowpack, and above average spring precipitation, it’s not surprising that we saw record wetland numbers across the survey area this spring,” said Steve Cordts, DNR waterfowl

specialist. “With such good wetland conditions, I would expect production, or the number of young ducks hatched, to be good this year.”

The same waterfowl survey has been conducted each May since 1968 to provide an annual index of breeding duck abundance. The survey covers 40 percent of the state that includes much of the best remaining duck breeding habitat in Minnesota. A DNR waterfowl biologist and pilot count all waterfowl and wetlands along established survey routes by flying low-level aerial surveys from a fi xed-wing plane.

The survey is timed to begin in early May to coincide with peak mallard nesting activity.

The state’s estimated breeding duck population was 687,000 compared with last year’s estimate of 531,000. This year’s estimate is 11 percent above the long-term average of 622,000 breeding ducks. some of the same survey routes.

This data is then used to correct for birds not seen by the aerial crew.

The Canada goose population was estimated at 370,000, which was higher than last year’s estimate of 311,000. The number of breeding Canada geese in the state remains high, but has been relatively stable over the past 10 years. Since 2001, the DNR has conducted a helicopter survey of

nesting Canada geese in April.

The survey, which includes most of the state except the Twin Cities metro area, counts Canada geese on randomly selected plots in prairie, transition and forested areas.

A lthough breeding duck numbers increased relative to last year, the goal in the DNR’s Duck Recovery Plan is to attract and hold a breeding population of 1 million ducks

while maintaining Minnesota’s rich waterfowling tradition.

“We remain committed to improving breeding and migration habitat for waterfowl in the state as one of our highest priorities,” said Dennis Simon, DNR Wildlife Section chief, “but we also realize it will require the DNR and all our partners to continue to focus our efforts to accomplish that long-term goal.”

ELKO continued from page 13

As the white flew, the pair went down the back straight side-by-side.

As they exited turn four, the pair made contact and only the electronic scoring would be able to determine that Goede had scored the win by inches over Schneider with Murgic, Dan Fredrickson and Anderson in the top five.

I n T hu nder Ca rs, Ada m Wiebusch made an early charge

by Greg Borchardt to the front with Dillon Sellner, Kane and Ted Reuvers also on the move.

As Wiebusch set a rapid pace, the caution flew on lap five as Sellner hammered Borchardt in turn two, stalling the action.

On the restart, Kane needed just three laps to track down Wiebusch for the lead, as Kyle Kirberger moved under Dan Weber for fourth on lap 11.

The action was stalled again on lap 14 as Mike Homans’ patience ran out as he drilled Weber exiting turn four to bring out the caution for the final time.

On the fi nal restart, Kane jumped to the lead, but Reuvers drove around Wiebusch in turn four on lap 18 moving to second with his sights set on his nemesis.

Over the fi nal seven markers, Reuvers closed in on and then caught K ane but was edged by inches in the second closest fi nish of the night with Wiebusch, Kirberger and a rebounding Borchardt in the top five.

In Big 8s, Travis Stanley of Prior Lake looked to continue his recent success, moving to the early lead before Moore charged to the point on lap two before the caution flew on lap three for a spinning Dan Whitehead.

RACEWAY continued from page 13

“They are to be commended for raising over $1,200 for the Courage Center and their Cars for Courage event, which was held later in the evening July 31. “We’re looking forward to having them back next year.”

One of the highlights of the annual Cars for Courage event was the Celebrity Race for Courage in which local celebrities race against each other in stock cars in an effort to build awareness for Cars for Courage, the Courage Center’s vehicle donation program.

Meanwhile, there was also NASCAR racing with Bombers, Figure 8s, Hobby Stocks, Mini Stocks, Short Trackers and Super Late Models in action.

Winning features were: Justin Kotchevar in Bombers, John Lebens and Mark Bronstad in respective Figure 8s races, Brent Kane in Hobby Stocks, Doug Schmitz in Mini Stocks, Keith Paulsrud in Short Trackers, and Chad Walen in Super Late Models.

Season points leaders go-

with rounds of 72 and 70 (par 72) to help the team finish first.

Meanwhi le, Sa mb had a stroke average of 78.96 in her second season, which was tied for fourth on the team. She played in all 10 tournaments.

Her best finish was taking second at the Wichita State Spring Invitational at Terradyne Country Club in April.

She had rounds of 76 and 70 (par 72) to help team fi nish fi rst.

On the restart, Moore quickly reclaimed the lead, with Jon Lemke sliding under Stanley before the caution flew two laps later as Lawrence Berthiaume su f fered mechanical woes, dropping fluids high and low with Darren Wolke and Josh Christy spinning as a result of the track condition.

On the second restart, Moore left the field in his wake with Lemke holding off Stanley and a fast-closing Doug Brown of Prior Lake, while Chris Marek ducked under Nick Beaver to join the top five on lap seven.

The action remained under the green through lap 16, with Moore continuing to dominate, but things were getting i nteresti ng behi nd hi m as Marek and Brown battled for fourth, with contact sending M a rek spi n ni ng wi ld ly i n turn four to bring out the fi nal caution.

On the fi nal, single fi le restart, Moore pulled away to the win, completing a clean sweep on the night with Stanley, Lemke, Beaver and Ryan Kamish in the top five.

In Power Stocks, Darren Wa lter ma n n slid by Ch ris Sjulstad for the early lead with Ryan and Taylor Goldman continuing Sjulstad’s slide on lap three.

As Waltermann continued to show the way, Sjulstad’s woes continued as Devon Schmidt, Dustin Mann, Dan Bohnsack and Paul Hamilton all worked by, while Ryan ducked under Waltermann to take the point on lap five.

Once in the lead, Ryan pulled away to an insurmountable advantage to cruising to the checkers, with Waltermann second and Schmidt third after he worked below Goldman and Mann on lap 17, with Mann able to move to fourth bypassing Goldman on lap 19. ing into Aug. 7 racing are as follow: In Super Late Models, Adam Royle of Lonsdale leads with 939 points, five better than Walen.

Donny Reuvers of Dundas and Rick Burns of Vesel are tied for third (810).

The Savage Outlaws faced the Prior Lake Jays in the championship game of the Section 4B tournament Friday (results not available at press time).

However, both teams already qualified for the Super Sections, which start Aug. 12. Seeds for the Super Sections come out Sunday, Aug. 7.

The Super Sections feature the top two teams from the eight sections in the state. The four sites are Dundas, Miesville, Chaska and Cold Spring and each is a four-team double-elimination tournament.

The eight section winners are seeded one through eight, while the eight section runner-ups have already been preseeded. The Section 4B runner-up will be the No. 10 seed for the Super Sections and will play the No. 7 seed in the fi rst round at a site to be determined Aug. 7.

The top two teams from each site will qualify for eightteam state tournament, which begins Aug. 19 in the towns of Brownton, Glencoe and Hutchinson.

Savage took a 29-3 record into the Section 4B title game with Prior Lake, having already beat the Jays three times this summer.

Savage is looking for its fourth straight state berth and fi fth in the last six years. Savage was third at state last year and fi fth in 2009.

Boots & Boas 5K Run/Walk is scheduled You can run or walk a scenic, 3.1-mile course and help fight domestic abuse at the same time by participating in the inaugural Boots & Boas 5K Run/Walk on Sept. 10 at 9 a.m. at Purgatory Creek Park in Eden Prairie.

The event is sponsored by Savvy.mn magazine, the Eden Prairie News, St. Francis Regional Medical Center and a number of other local businesses.

A pre-race 50-yard “dash” in boots and boas will be held as a photo opportunity and to make people more aware of the good work of two organizations working to end domestic violence: Cornerstone, which serves southwestern Hennepin County, and the Southern Valley Alliance for Battered Women, which serves Scott and Carver counties.

“The name of the event and the fact that a share of proceeds will go to Cornerstone and Southern Valley Alliance make it sound as if Boots & Boas is just a women’s event,” said Mark Weber, publisher of the Eden Prairie News newspaper. “It’s not. This is a fun event that men and children will love too, and a way for them to show support for two organizations that are doing great work.”

Early-bird registration (before Aug. 20) costs $25 per person. After that the fee goes to $30; race-day registration is $35. You can register online at active.com (type in Boots & Boas), which charges a small administrative fee.

Or, download an entry form at www.savvy.mn or www. edenprairienews.com.

U2

from the

cheap

seats I

BY KARLA WENNERSTROM editor@edenprairienews.com

wasn’t looking up Bono’s nostrils like my co-worker Lori Carlson, but from the cheap seats, I pondered a few of my favorite moments from the U2 concert, the first major concert at TCF Bank Stadium at the University of Minnesota.

1) Minnesota, hats off to thee – For a first concert, this was on fire! It was fun to see Bronko Nagurski’s name in huge letters behind the head of the lead singer from the opening act, Interpol.

A friend added on her Facebook page: “Ski-U2-Mah!” 2) The claw – The giant claw, which I half expected to rain down a firestorm a la “Independence Day,” led those in the stands behind me to riff on claws in general. My favorite?

Their discussion of Baron von Raschke’s “brainclaw” wrestling move.

3) The rain – Watching the band power through the howling wind and stinging rain to continue performing was awe-inspiring.

Another friend wrote that as soon as the rain started, it was like we were all in a music video – but do they make music videos anymore?

My husband commented, “This is actually a nice day in Ireland.”

4) The shirt – The audience was awed when Adam Clayton removed his shirt to reveal a well-sculpted 51-year-old. The downside? Several concert-goers nearby took this as a cue to also remove their shirts.

5) Purple Rain – Bono sang snippets of rain-related lyrics throughout the show, even paying homage to Prince with a little “Purple Rain.”

A view from the writer’s cheap seats includes the 150-foot metal claw and Bono on the big screen.

Reliving their first concert experiences The U2 concert on July 23 led us to ask about first concert you ever attended. I’ll show my age and admit that the first band I saw in concert was “Chicago,” and I promptly developed a crush on one of the trombone players.

Here are some of the responses we received:

At the concert we saw one of my neighbors who also went to school with us. She looked surprised to see me, I don’t think she knew I listened to Poison. There was also some perceived “rebellion” in the mix that night: I got home from the concert quite late, because the three of us had a misunderstanding on where to meet my friend’s mom after the show. We had a great time and even though it was my first concert, this was the second to last concert that I went to at the Met Center before it got torn down. The site of the Met Center became part of the Mall of America/Mall of America parking.”

Michelle Wallin – “My first concert was the band Poison with special guest Britny Fox on Nov. 4, 1988, at the Met Center in Bloomington.

(Britny Fox was an 80s “hair” band similar to Poison.) I was SUBMITTED PHOTO 14½ years old, in Lori Carlson – “My Michelle Wallin at about ninth grade and I first concert ever was the time of the concert attended the show The Jets with opener with two other Limited Warranty at friends from the MN State Fair. I’m my junior high school. My friend’s sure I wore something along the mom gave us a ride to the show. I lines of stirrup pants with a baggy think I wore a Poison jersey with shirt and some big earrings (and three-quarter sleeves that I ordered bigger bangs). My favorite Jets song through the mail, though I am not was “Crush on You.” I was also a certain. I just remember it was big Limited Warranty fan. I loved already cold outside. My favorite “Victory Line.” Luckily, I don’t think song was absolutely, “Every Rose any photos were taken of me in my Has Its Thorn.” I held up a pink concert garb.” lighter during the song – isn’t that what you’re supposed to do during Leah Shaffer – “My first concert a ballad? That song actually topped wasn’t until freshman year of the Billboard Pop Charts that winter. college. I got to see the Smashing

Pumpkins on their final tour. Great show at the Granada in Lawrence, Kan. I stood in line in the wee hours of one frozen morning with my boyfriend (and future husband) to get tickets for the show …”

Meryn Fluker – “My first official concert (not including kids’ shows like the Chenille Sisters, who were amazing) actually has local ties: When I was 13, I attended KDWB’s Last Chance Summer Dance at Canterbury Park in Shakopee.

The slate included memorable acts Blu Cantrell, American Hi-Fi and O-Town. Exactly. I remember having a total blast and being really excited to wear my tie-dyed Last Chance Summer Dance T-shirt at school the next day, because I was so cool. I can’t really remember any of the songs played at the concert (though I’m sure the acts played their respective hits: “Hit ’Em Up Style,” “Flavor of the Weak” and “Liquid Dreams”) but I remember feeling super mature, weird because I definitely recall my friend’s dad coming to pick us up at the end of the event. Luckily, no photos remain.”

Melissa Gilman – “I won tickets for the 1991 or 1992 Pixies concert at First Avenue from KJ104, which at the time was a super cool Twin Cities alternative music station. I was 14 and BEGGED my parents to let me go with my much older cousin. I promised I would never

“I promised I would never leave my home in the safe northern suburbs for scary Minneapolis EVER AGAIN if they just let me go to this ONE concert. They said yes.”

Melissa Gilman

leave my home in the safe northern suburbs for scary Minneapolis EVER AGAIN if they just let me go to this ONE concert. They said yes. I sucked in every smoke-filled moment of that amazing concert, bought the T-shirt and never went home again. So to speak.”

Anonymous – “July 4, 1990 - I had somehow convinced my dad that he was the perfect person to chaperon four 12-year-old girls at the New Kids on the Block concert at Harriet Island. I’m pretty sure I still owe him something for not only driving us three hours to get there but then sitting around ALL day long (in the rain) to wait for the concert to begin. To us, it was totally worth it. Tommy Page opened (of “I’ll Be Your Everything” fame) and I remember

my dad lifting me up so I could see his bright red shoes. Naturally, we exhausted ourselves screaming at/singing along to the New Kids’ songs. And suddenly it was all over.

As we walked back to the car the Fourth of July fireworks began.

I think the four of us were asleep in the car before my dad could make his way out of the metro. If I could remember where I stashed that picture of me in my super cool black and neon Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt and acid washed jean shorts, you would be enjoying that view right now.”

Anonymous – “I saw a lot of bands at the po-dunk Fox Lake Ballroom when I was in high school. I think I saw Litterer and Slave Raider more often than I saw my college-aged brother in those days. I remember begging my parents to let me go to the big city to see Motley Crue and Night Ranger (on separate occasions not one ticket). I think “Over my dead body” was exclaimed more than once. But, I think my first REAL concert was Britney Fox and Joan Jett on the Mankato State University campus when I was a senior in high school. But the one that really counts was going to Queensryche at the Fargo Civic; or was it Tesla at the Fargo Civic? My early concert experiences have kind of melted together until I get to Aerosmith at the Fargodome. Now that show I remember!”

Group is up and running, seeking additional help from city

BY AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com

The Savage Social Club has gathered weekly for six months at the McColl Pond Environmental Learning Center (ELC) for coffee, conversation and cards, but now they’re hoping for a little more assistance from the city.

While the club is technically open to all ages, the roster includes more than 60 senior citizens.

The average turnout since the club’s origination in February has hovered around 30 attendees with a dip during the summer months. When speakers are scheduled, that number climbs to 50 or 60.

“We had Mayor Janet Williams as our first speaker and she drew a large crowd,” said volunteer Ann Klein.

“We’ve also had the police chief speak, and Wild Birds Unlimited came out and they gave away free samples.”

When a speaker isn’t scheduled, the group enjoys refreshments (purchased from free-will donations to the “kitty”) card games and book discussions.

At a recent meeting in July, about a dozen members gathered around a table to discuss “The Latehomecomer”

by Minnesota author Kao Kalia Yang. Another four fellas played 500 cards while shooting wisecracks across the table.

“Sometimes we play golf,” said Dick Filipek with a grin.

“The card game not the sport.”

“I enjoy the fellowship,” said Dick Blom, who is known for his one-liners. “These guys tell great stories.”

“When people discover what’s here, it’ll really grow,” said Del Lind. “It’s a good way to get out each week with old duffers like us!”

Club members enjoy not only the camaraderie, but also the close proximity.

“It’s a place where we can meet that’s ours,” said volunteer Ann Klein. “Before, people who wanted to do senior activities had to go to Prior Lake, Burnsville or Shakopee.”

But then an energetic couple of guys – Ron Schwartz (Parks Commission) and Phil Sked (Friends of McColl Pond) put the wheels in motion for a senior center of sorts in Savage.

A group of about 10 individuals met with City Administrator Barry Stock back in January and requested free use of space at the ELC on Tuesdays for three hours in the afternoon.

The ELC is available for rental to the public and local groups, but the city council ultimately agreed to offer up the space at no charge.

The city’s communications coordinator, Amy Barnett, also assists with speaker scheduling and flyer printing for the group.

MORE HELP FROM THE CITY? Klein opens up the

She likes volunteering, but is hoping that, at a minimum, she’ll be able to share her responsibilities with other club members. Ultimately, though, Klein would like to pass the keys on to “someone from the city.”

The Savage Social Club has its eyes on a set up like Prior Lake’s senior center, Club Prior.

According to Sked, representatives from Club Prior gave helpful hints and tips for starting and running a center in Savage on a budget.

The main difference is that Club Prior – now in its fourth year – is completely run and funded by the city of Prior Lake.

“The city (of Savage) has been very cooperative in any way that they can,” said Sked.

But now, the Savage Social Club would like a little bit more.

City staff received a letter in July from the Savage Social Club requesting assistance from the Park Board for four hours per week to unlock and lock the center for the weekly meetings, send out reminders and assist with the programming schedule.

“The city doesn’t have funding or manpower at this point,” said City Administrator Barry Stock, “but the Park Board will evaluate all of its programs (late summer/early fall) to see

Stock said he is well aware of the demographics and that, while many new families move to the area each year, there is a significant population of senior citizens.

“The new norm is that if (groups) want programming, set it up and get it running,” said Stock, noting that he agrees it’s important to get a group like this “going to have it in place for the future.”

FALL LINEUP The attendance at Savage Social Club gatherings has been low over the summer months – 15 or so visitors each week – and Klein attributes the drop to family vacations and trips to the lake. She fully expects attendance to climb this fall.

In September, the club will resume a schedule of speakers a couple of times each month. Upcoming topics include a state-of-thecity address from Stock, a session on identity theft and directions on how to take and store digital photos.

The Savage Social Club seniors come from all over the city – Weston Woods, Chadwick Park, Eagles Landing, the Hamilton building downtown – and Klein thinks there will be even more eager attendees if the Keystone development behind the library is approved.

“We’ll have more seniors in the future,” said Klein. “It’ll be a good idea to get it all figured out now.”
