Savage police oﬃcer still in critical condition after crash

SCOTT COUNTY BOARD

Vote to terminate administrator fails Commissioner Wagner cites ‘time for a change’

BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

3 9 -yea r- old Savage police officer is still in critical condition as of Friday morning after he lost control of his squad car on icy roads and struck a tree while responding to a call early Monday. Officer Frank Mackall, of Cottage Grove, was removed from the vehicle by Savage fi refi ghters and airlifted to North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale, where he remains in critical condition. A press release from the Savage Police Department said that Mackall suffered head injuries in the crash. The crash occurred just after 1 a.m. on Glendale Road near 137th Street, according to the State Patrol. Mackall’s squad car was northbound on Glendale and hit a tree on the west side of the road. A passerby saw the accident and called 911, according to Savage Police Capt. Dave Muelken, however another officer passed the scene prior to the 911 call and had already requested assistance. Police believe Mackall was on his way to assist fellow officers on a prowler call in the area of 131st Street and Glendale Road. As a result, “Officers were able to get there very quickly,” said Muelken. Mackall has been with the Savage Police Department since July 2008. He has a wife, Lisa, and three children. Mackall moved from Ohio to Minnesota in 2004. He worked as a

Savage Police Officer Frank Mackall patrol officer with the Woodbury Police Department for six months prior to joining the Savage Police Department. “[Mackall] is very active within the department, and very popular within the department,” Muelken said, noting that Mackall has volunteered to serve as a crime scene technician and a property/

evidence technician for the department. Mackall is also among a handful of officers in the department that are trained in crisis intervention. “He’s a very good officer; he has to be to take on that extra responsibility,” said Muelken.

SHOWING OFF FOR THE SENATOR

Sen. Al Franken watches as Burnsville High School’s FIRST Robotics Team operates their robot during his Thursday visit to the school. He also met with Brooke Delmont’s sixth period Algebra II class and Jeff Nelson’s Honors Algebra III class to talk about the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education in today’s evolving job market. Later in the day, Franken held a K-12 listening session at Burnsville Alternative High School where he asked for feedback on No Child Left Behind as the Senate prepares to reform the bill.

The gloves came off Tuesday morning at the end of a routine Scott County Board meeting after County Commissioner Joe Wagner of Jordan made a motion to terminate Scott County Administrator Gary Shelton and the vote was seconded by Commissioner Dave Menden of Shakopee. The move had been rumored for weeks, with Board Chair Tom Wolf of Credit River Township seen as the swing vote. Commissioners Barbara Marschall of Prior Lake and Jon Ulrich of Savage fought back, with Ulrich accusing Menden and Wagner of going after Shelton for personal reasons. “I’m aware, Commissioner Wagner, that you got yourself involved in a criminal investigation … and you interjected yourself improperly into a situation and you somehow came to believe that the administrator was behind this and wasn’t protecting you,” Ulrich told Wagner, referring to a child-injury case that involved Wagner’s relative. “This is absolutely offensive what you’re saying to me,” Wagner responded. “It’s offensive what you’re doing,”

COMMISSIONER JOE WAGNER WAS INVESTIGATED BY THE WASHINGTON COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE. SEE PAGE 6 Ulrich said. Wagner, who was hoping for a third vote from Wolf, made the motion to terminate Shelton without providing any rationale, although he asked County Employee Relations Director Jack Kemme to explain the process for termination within Shelton’s contract. Kemme told the Board that Shelton could demand written charges and a public hearing. Menden – a former County sheriff who acknowledged during his campaign to having differences with Shelton – was also short on specifics, although he stated he’s long had trust issues with Shelton. Prior to Tuesday’s meeting, Wagner was fairly tight-lipped, although he called Shelton a “bully” and made an issue of remarks Shelton has made about a side business he owns. “All I’m going to say is it’s time for a change,” Wagner said after Tuesday’s meeting. Ulrich – who made dozens of calls to leaders throughout Scott County in recent weeks to gather support for Shelton – said he talked with around 60 elected or higher officials, and “without exception they were shocked, dismayed and pretty angry about this course of action.”

Trail Guide may help keep New Year’s goals A new tool from the city of Savage may help keep New Year’s exercise resolutions intact. The 24-page Savage Trail Guide suggests walking, running and bicycling routes that range from less than a quarter of a mile to nearly 2 miles in length. Funded by a grant from the Carver-Scott Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP), the free guide is intended to help residents incorporate physical activity into their daily lives. “The trail guide offers a variety of routes, so residents can plan walks and rides that match their schedules and fitness levels,” said Savage Recreation Supervisor Chris Dill. The pocket-sized booklet was designed so that it would be easy for residents to keep in their vehicle, stow in their bike’s storage pouch or carry in a backpack. The Savage Trail Guide is available upon request at Savage City

Take your car search for a spin.

The FBI is investigating whether they have caught the “Man in Black,” a serial bank robber suspected of holding up a dozen metro-area banks since late October, including bank robberies in Prior Lake and Shakopee. The suspect, a 49-year-old Minneapolis man, was arrested by St. Peter police after he was seen traveling in a vehicle that was believed to have been used in a robbery at the Rolling Hills Bank in Brewster just before noon on Tuesday. The man is being held in Nobles County Jail and is in state custody, according to FBI spokesperson Kyle Loven. “There are some indicators that led us to believe that perhaps [the suspect] and the ‘Man in Black’ may be one in the same,” said Loven. The FBI also said in a press release that while the man hasn’t been charged with a crime yet, they do expect him to be charged in the Brewster

Stolen guns found on the lawn of burglary suspect BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

Stolen guns that were taken during a November burglary in Savage were found earlier this week on the lawn of the neighbor woman who was charged in the burglary. Lynette Catherine Walsh, 28, was charged with seconddegree burglary last month. Her alleged accomplice in the crime, Douglas Alan Nelson, of Burnsville, was also charged with second-degree burglary. On the morning of Jan. 1, Walsh’s mother called police to report that she found a rifle and shotgun lying on her lawn. (Walsh and her mother have the same listed address.) Police are unsure who dumped the guns on the property, but they were able to identify them as the same guns that were stolen in the burglary and never recovered. According to the complaint from the Nov. 11 burglary, Savage police officers were called to a home on Kipling Avenue on Nov. 11 for a report of a

robbery. If authorities can tie him to the “Man in Black” robberies, the man could be facing federal charges, according to Loven. “If we’re able to make the federal charges with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, we will do that,” said Loven, “but it will be a charging decision by the U.S. Attorney. If [he isn’t charged federally], my guess is that the state will charge him.” No suspect description has been provided after Tuesday’s arrest, but in the 12 robberies that the “Man in Black” is suspected in, the descriptions are nearly identical. The man got the nickname “Man in Black” because in most of the early robberies he wore all black, including a black, zipped-up hooded sweatshirt. However, in the Dec. 5 robbery of a U.S. Bank branch in Hopkins, the man wore a tan jacket, and in Dec. 5 robbery of the Franklin Bank in Minneapolis, the suspect wore a brownish-green coat. The “Man in Black” is suspected of robbing Prior Lake

burglary. When they arrived, Walsh told police that she saw two black men, one with a backpack, run from the back of a neighbor’s house. While searching the house, police found that a jewelry box had its doors ripped off and numerous items of jewelry appeared to be missing. Additionally, a 12-gauge shotgun, a Marlin 30-30 rifle, 30 sets of uncirculated mint-proof set coins, an Apple iPad and a digital picture frame were also missing. On Dec. 12, the Savage Police Department was informed by Burnsville police that Walsh was arrested on Dec. 9 for an attempted robbery. Walsh’s pawn history was checked and officers discovered that she had pawned or sold 187 items since March of 2010. Police looked at her pawn history from the day of the burglary and found several jewelry items and coins that were similar in description to the items that were stolen on Nov. 11.

On Dec. 14, a search warrant was served at Walsh’s home in the 14000 block of Kipling Avenue. During the search, numerous jewelry items and coin sets belonging to the neighbor were found. The two guns, however, were still missing. During an interview with police, Walsh allegedly admitted to burglarizing her neighbor’s home on Nov. 11. She said she used a rock to break a window so she could gain entry, then stole the jewelry. Walsh allegedly told police that Nelson went in later and stole the other items. Walsh said that she did see Nelson with a gray metal case after the burglary, but that she didn’t know anything about guns being stolen. Nelson told police that he didn’t know anything about the burglary and never went into the neighbor’s home. He told police that he had been collecting mint coins for years. Walsh and Nelson both have omnibus hearings scheduled for Jan. 26 in Scott County District Court.

The Minnesota State Highway Patrol is conducting an investigation into the crash and an accident reconstruction, which is typical for such cases. Muelken said the results of the investigation likely won’t be ready for several weeks. The Burnsville Police Department and the Scott County Sheriff’s office also responded to the crash. “F rank’s family and the Savage Police Department are very thankful for the support from surrounding agencies,” said Muelken. Muelken also said that he has received “no less than a dozen emails” from citizens who have dealt with Mackall on police calls and wanted to know how he was doing. Muelken said law enforcement officials from all over the metro have been coming to the hospital to show their support, some even bringing food and beverages for the family. He said that since this morning, Minneapolis Police Department Fourth Precinct Inspector Mike Martin, three of ficers from Robbinsdale, deputies from the Scott County Sheriff’s Office, at least a dozen Dakota Cou nty Dr ug Task Force members and at least a dozen Savage police officers have come to visit Mackall. “It’s been unbelievable,” Muelken said of the support. By Tuesday, a CaringBridge website had been set up for Mackall, www.caringbridge. org/visit/FrankMackall. By Wednesday, the city of Savage issued a press release announcing that a benefit fund had been established at KleinBank to help cover expenses as Mackall recovers from his injuries. Shortly after joining the Savage Police Department in the summer of 2008, Mackall was interviewed for the Savage Pacer. “Being a police officer is something I always wanted to do when I lived in Ohio,” Mackall said at that time. “I solidified that decision after I was presented with the opportunity to

High school ‘divas’ head for state honor choir BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com

few months. “They’re always open and receptive to new ideas, are not easily satisfied with ‘same old, same old’ and want to improve their talents,” Hassig says. “They help lead the choir and provide a nice challenge for me to stay on top of my game.” Rupp and Wall may be finishing each other’s sentences and making beautiful music together now but they started out as dueling divas. “We kind of got really jealous of each other,” Rupp says. “We were each other’s competition,” Wall adds, though this didn’t stop them from performing Beyoncè’s “Halo” at both the Twin Oaks Middle School talent show and at Laker Showcase when they were in seventh grade. “Once we reached high school we realized, ‘This is kind of dumb,’” Wall says. “Now we’re best friends.” “I think it was natural,” Rupp says. The singers share a lot more than friendship. Both have been singing since they were very young and this is the second ACDA-MN stint for both. Wall sang in the organization’s grades seven and eight choir when she was in seventh grade while Rupp made the choir the following year. “I encouraged all of our freshman and sophomores to audition,” Hassig says of the

choir. “The chance to work with outstanding talents from across the state under the leadership of a director with a national reputation for excellence will only help the singers to grow musically and personally. That growth will benefit them personally and can help our program improve.” Rupp and Wall share opportunities with each other and the pair practiced the honor choir audition music together earlier this year. Both of them were a bit under the weather and though they are both the highest sopranos in the women’s chorale, Rupp decided to audition for the honor choir as an alto, “to change it up,” she says. “I convinced her,” Wall chimes in. These kinds of suggestions are characteristic of the duo’s friendship. No longer resigned to competing against each other – “It’s better to be friends than to try and one up each other,” Wall says – the two now collaborate to improve their own vocal abilities. “We critique each other,” Rupp says. “We encourage each other,” Wall follows. When asked if they make each other better singers, both sopranos nod enthusiastically, the same way they responded when asked if it was nice to make the honor choir together – instead of separately, like

The students were selected from almost 900 freshmen and sophomores from across the state to sing in the American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota’s (ACDA-MN) 2012 grades nine and 10 honor choir. The girls will rehearse alongside 128 of their peers on Thursday, Feb. 16 before the choir’s 5:15 p.m. concert in the sanctuary at Central Lutheran Church in Minneapolis.

They recorded their auditions in mid-October and the good news came on Nov. 6. Now Rupp and Wall are anticipating the Feb. 16 event. They have five pieces of music to learn and memorize before that day, which will be a marathon of rehearsals before the early evening performance. The singers are not only excited about the chance to perform and rehearse under the baton of guest conductor Bruce Rogers of Mt.

It gives them a ‘mountain top’ experience to share and energize themselves and their peers.” Rupp wants to study music

But both are looking forward to bringing the state honor choir lessons back to Savage. “I share what I learn with everyone I can,” Rupp says. “When we come back as better singers, we want to make our choir better,” Wall adds. “We say [to our peers], ‘There are so many great singers out there and you can be one of them.’”

EDITORIAL

Giving: How do we keep the momentum going? I was inspired and a little overwhelmed by the number of photos we received in December of groups doing great things throughout the community – both for local and national causes. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to run all of them in the newspaper: the Dads of Glendale Students (D.O.G.S.) and Cub Scouts who made sandwiches to be delivered to people in need; Girl Scout Troop 10255 from M.W. Savage Elementary School that made and donated handmade tie blankets to Fairview Ridges Hospital; and Aspen Academy Daisy Troop’s gift boxes that were assembled for Operation Christmas Child. As we settle back into the routines of full work weeks and sports practices, I’m curious to know if the giving will continue – both for others and for me. I’m thankful to have several friends involved in the same volunteer efforts as me, so we push each other to do more and give more – not unlike that exercise buddy that gets you to the gym when you’d rather hang out on the couch. I like to learn about the causes

Tell us … How will you maintain the volunteer spirit in the new year? Send an email to editor@savagepacer. com or comment online at savagepacer.com people get involved with and the stories behind their efforts. For example, members of a local girl scout troop donated blankets and books to the NICU unit at a local hospital in December, and I later learned that one of the girls had been a patient in that very hospital as a premature baby. Her mother had suggested the donation drive as a way to give back. Have you resolved to become involved in something new this year? I’d love to hear from you; s omet i me s ju st w r it i n g dow n your goals brings them closer to reality. (Amy Lyon is the editor of the Savage Pacer.

You and $2: What does it mean to you? Two dollars could make a difference in someone else’s life and leave a legacy of hope and healing. More than 112,000 people in the United States need a life-saving organ transplant. Approximately 2,700 of those individuals live in Minnesota. If more people register to be donors, more lives will be saved. A new law that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2012 could significantly increase Minnesota’s registry of donors, and help heal people battling organ

failure, devastating burns, blindness and other serious conditions. Minnesota residents are now able to contribute $2 to support public education about organ, tissue and eye donation when they apply for or renew their driver’s licenses and ID cards. Known as the “You and $2” program, the law was modeled after successful initiatives in other states. Contributions to “You and $2” will be distributed to organizations like LifeSource – the statewide nonprofit organization responsible for managing organ and tissue donation in our region – to help increase awareness about the need for more people to register as organ donors and save the lives of others. Over six years ago our daughter, Karlynn, gave the gift of life to five individuals because she had made the decision to register as an organ donor. We are comforted that we honored Karlynn’s choice to share the gift of life, but we know many other people are still waiting – some desperately – for the donation that could restore their health and hope. We know Karlynn’s gift saved lives. We hope this letter might inspire you to register as an organ donor and also contribute to the “You and $2” program. With these simple steps, every individual can make a difference. The question remains, what does $2 mean to you?

Keeping kids up-to-date while maintaining youthful creativity This year, we took our kids’ annual photograph with Santa. As our son rattled off a laundry list of what our daycare provider’s children wanted for Christmas, our daughter, forced onto Santa’s lap for the sole purpose of my photographic amusement, shyly and begrudgingly peeped out her Christmas wish. “A computer. And not just any computer, Santa. A REAL one. “ This was not the first time this request was brought to my attention. Shortly after the school year started, our daughter began laying the groundwork for what she wanted for Christmas. And she was very clear that it was the only thing she wanted. More than once I had hoped I’d be able to dismiss her wish as a passing fancy. But here it was again, reappearing like a gray hair on my head. My husband and I have been very clear with our children (and ourselves) that we will not cave to every desire. However, when it comes to Christmas, we do make an effort to have Santa bring the

primary items our children want, within reason, which up until this point has been pretty realistic. But this tech-y request of the wish-granting-Santa was creating a quandary for my husband and me. For beginners, our daughter is only six. Need I say more? There was no way on earth I was about to spend what a computer costs, on a Christmas gift for a child that age, no matter how much I love her. My stubbornness on this matter

comes, perhaps, from my modest upbringing. Or maybe it comes from my wanting to ensure that she is old enough to exhibit some responsibility for such a pricey gift. Perhaps it comes from my belief that someone her age should be playing with dolls and drawing pictures. But should she? In this day and age where kids are introduced to the computer practically at birth, was that a realistic expectation anymore? In the course of our discussion on this matter, we debated ignoring her request and sticking with the traditional list of toys and other gifts, like Barbies, art supplies and sparkly stuff. This decision began a vicious circle of questions: Why would she want (and why would we buy) more Barbies, when she already has enough of them? She already has a drawer full of construction paper, scissors, glue sticks, crayons and paint. And when she enters a room, something on her person sparkles on a daily basis.

Perhaps the biggest question that plagued us was: In looking at all these things, does she have too much of everything? Where did it all come from? How do we back up this bus? And in doing so, how does Santa not give a gift to a six-year-old, when all she wants is one thing? While we mulled our options, we worked with her on the concept of giving to others. We “adopted” a child and purchased a Toy for a Tot. We wrapped gifts for her best friend, her cousin and her great-grandfather. We put money in the food shelf donation box and explained to her how some people don’t have enough food to eat, and how lucky she is to have food whenever she is hungry. And we talked to her about the 9-year old girl from the CAP agency Adopt-a-Family list, who, just like herself, asked for only ONE thing. It was a winter coat. Despite Santa throwing us a bone and telling her that a computer would be a very difficult feat for his elves, he did pull through with her real computer – albeit a used one.

Sharing with her brother was also a key part of the arrangement. As I write this in the days leading up to Christmas, I am hoping we made the right decision. As parents it seems we walk such a fine line between keeping our kids up-todate on technology so they can stay current in their own world, while still trying to maintain their youthful creativity and a reasonable level of physical activity. I know we are not the only parents feeling our way through this process.

ENOUGH CASH TO GO AROUND? One issue that must be addressed by the executor of a will is that there are sufficient liquid assets (cash or assets that can be quickly converted to cash) to pay the bills of a deceased’s estate. If there are not enough funds to cover the debts, assets must be sold, which should be done prior to distributing property to beneficiaries. If there are not enough assets to pay all the debts, state law will dictate the priority with which outstanding debts must be paid. As a general matter, funeral expenses, family allowances, lawyers’ fees, court costs and personal representative fees are to be paid in full (or to the extent possible) before other, lower priority creditors are paid. If you have any questions about the duties of a personal representative or about writing or executing a will, then you should call our ofﬁce. We have years of experience dealing with all aspects of estate planning, wills, and probate, and we can provide the professional guidance you need as you move through these complex decisions. In addition to wills, we can also provide representation in matter of bankruptcy, family law and real estate law. If you have any questions, call 952226-1202 to make an appointment.

STUDENT VIEWS

Lettering tradition isn’t always a level playing field In high school, students receive a letter to be stitched onto a letterman’s jacket to show the sports and activities in which they have excelled or “lettered.” In 1865, the Harvard basketball team sewed the letter “H” for Harvard onto fl annel shirts. The letter jerseys were given to a few fortunate players who played exceptionally well or made a significant contribution to the team. Later it became know as the letterman sweater. The football team adopted the tradition of wearing the letter “H” on their jerseys in 1875. About 30 years later, some high schools started adopting letters as school traditions. L et ter ma n sweaters evolved into letterman jackets. Today, Prior Lake High School also holds this tradition, though letterman jackets have changed in many ways since 1865. In my mind, lettering is a way to show one’s accomplishments while displaying school spirit and pride. Lettering shows how students in the

school stand out because of their achievements and contributions to the school. However, the lettering program of Prior Lake has strayed away from this purpose in some ways. It has become more of a competition between students, and sometimes it’s a dishonest competition more than a distinction of high achievement. Letters are sold at the school and in various stores in Prior L a ke. St udent s who let ter receive a certificate to purchase their letters, but stores who sell the letterman jackets rarely ask to see the certifi-

cates. So, basically, anyone can purchase a letterman jacket whether or not they meet the standards. Some people do purchase jackets that have no letter, and some also receive patches in activities in which they have not lettered. Some students see lettering as a status symbol and will do anything to obtain it, even if it means cheating the system. This totally destroys the purpose of lettering. The lettering system has evolved a lot from the first basketball letter at Harvard. Many more activities have become part of the lettering tradition, and I think this only improved the tradition of lettering. Mock trial, speech tea m, ba nd, choi r, t heater and others have become part of the Prior Lake lettering program. But still, not every lettering opportunity is available at Prior Lake. Academic lettering does not exist at Prior Lake and I believe academics are one of the highest accomplishments a student can achieve. They, too, deserve a letter.

If the lettering tradition in high schools exclusively included sports, I don’t think it would be necessary to have an academic letter. But Prior Lake has allowed different activities to letter that require determination and excellence. Striving for high academic standards also takes significant determination that should be rewarded for those who wish to accept the challenge. I don’t think I will letter in the sport “play,” but I do envy those who wear their letterman jackets. If academic letters were available at Prior Lake, I think it would provide a good opportunity for me and many others who aren’t strong athletes. Even though the traditions of let teri n g h ave ch a n ge d greatly since 1865, I believe the honor of achievement still holds the same value and distinction for both students and schools.

Attorney ﬁnds commissioner didn’t break the law Washington County investigated Wagner’s involvement with witness in child-injury case BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

Several weeks before Commissioner Joe Wagner of Jordan moved to fi re Scott County Administrator Gary Shelton, t he Scot t Cou nty at tor ney and sheriff asked Washington County to consider whether Wagner broke any laws by his involvement with a witness in a child-injury investigation. The Washing ton County Attorney’s Office recently declined to charge Wagner following an investigation. Wagner said he believes the investigation was politically motivated by County Attorney Pat Ciliberto and Sheriff Kevin Studnicka, but said his attempt to terminate Shelton is completely unrelated, although he is unhappy with how Shelton handled the matter. Wagner – who accompanied the witness during an interview by Scott County detectives – was accused of lying to a County human services worker in a separate conversation about whether he knew the woman, who is a day care provider. The woman is Wagner’s sister-in-law through marriage. I n September, t he Scot t County Sheriff’s Office began

COUNTY BOARD continued from page 1

Wagner responded that none of them work with Shelton. “Yes, they do,” Ulrich said. “Not like we do,” Wagner said. It appears those calls may have persuaded Wolf, who was evasive following the meeting. But Wolf stayed out of the ruckus during Tuesday’s discussion. Wagner rolled his head back when he heard Wolf say nay along with Marschall and Ulrich. Menden, a for mer Scot t County sheriff and sheriff’s deputy who worked with Shelton at the County jail, seconded Wagner’s motion. He said there is a lot of mistrust between him and Shelton, and he has a list of 20 grievances at home. “There is no trust there. I’m always watching my back when he comes up with things,” Menden said. “There’s a whole list of things I prefer not to bring up. I would just feel a lot more comfortable with a different County administrator.” Ulrich questioned why Menden rated Shelton positively du ri ng a fa l l per for ma nce review. Mended responded that he gave Shelton a couple of zeros, but rated him highly in the knowledge category because Shelton is “very knowledgeable.”

investigating the report of a n i nju red baby, due to a l legations that the baby may have been abused while at the woman’s Helena Township day care. Joe T he woma n Wagner reported the injury on Sept. 20 to emergency officials, according to sheriff’s records. As is County practice, a County human services worker called to noti fy Wag ner when the woman’s day care license was suspended because the day care is in his commissioner district. According to the investigation by Washington County, the human services worker claims she asked Wagner if he knew the day care provider prior to providing him with any significant level of information about the incident. The human services worker reported that Wagner told her he was not familiar with the woman. Wagner vehemently denies that he lied to the human service worker. He said that their conversation lasted a minute

or less and he informed her at the end of their conversation that the day care provider was his sister-in-law. He said he did not receive any inside information from the human services worker. Wagner says he notified the County administrator prior to accompanying his sisterin-law to the Scott County’s Sheriff’s Office. Although the woman happens to be a relative through ma r riage, Wag ner said he frequently accompanies constituents in their dealings with the county. “People ask me, I just go. I have lived here my entire life; I am 57 years old; I have connections to everybody,” he said. Wagner said he didn’t realize the nature of the interview, though, until he realized they were entering an interrogation room. He would have gladly left, he said, if deputies had asked him to. “W hat do you think, I’m Sherlock Holmes sitting in this room? I’ve got a lot better things to do than sitting in this room by the way, but she called, she asked me, this is what I do,” Wagner said. Wagner said he talked to Shelton in advance of the inter-

view and Shelton advised him not to say anything. “All of sudden … I hear, Joe, that wasn’t appropriate for you to be there. You shouldn’t have been there,” Wagner said. Wagner said he only spoke once during the interview, to relay an experience he once had, but he was cut of f by deputies. Shelton said he advised Wag ner not to accompa ny the woman, but Wagner told him he had already told her he would. Shelton said he believes he responded that Wagner should then “stay out of it,” only being moral support, and not say anything. Five days after this conversation, Wagner said, Shelton handed him a piece of paper suspending any information being given from human services because Wagner accompanied the woman. Scott County Sheriff Kevin Studnicka later became aware that Wagner sat in during the questioning by detectives and that Wagner had also spoken to the human services worker. Studnicka said he decided to refer the case to Washington County because of the allegation that Wagner was not forthright with the human

services caseworker about his relationship to the day care provider before the employee shared case information with him. If he had known in advance that Wagner planned to accompany the day care provider at the Sheriff’s Office, Studnicka said he would have instructed his deputies to ask Wagner to leave. Normally, only attorneys accompany someone who is interviewed as a person of interest, Studnicka said. “If I would have known, I would have told Commissioner Wagner it was inappropriate,” Studnicka said. Sheriff’s staff didn’t make an issue of Wagner being there, Studnicka said, because they were a little intimidated that Wagner is a commissioner and also because they didn’t want to offend Wagner. He noted that Wagner did not pressure the deputies to let him be there. Once he became aware that a human services worker was allegedly misled, Studnicka said he was left in an “awkwa rd position,” i n t hat he could look bad for not having the matter explored further, but it could also appear he was going after a commissioner. He said the case was referred to Washington County

to avoid a conflict of interest. But Wagner said he believes the investigation was politically motivated because of his earlier role in billboards that went up mocking Studnicka and Ciliberto for seeking raises from the county. Studnicka said if he was politically motivated, his office would have completed the investigation itself and there would have been charges. After an investigation by Washi ng ton Cou nty detectives, the Washington County Attorney’s Office declined to charge Wagner. Although prosecutor Richard Hodsdon said he believes Wag ner misled the human services worker, he found no evidence Wagner did so to aid his sister-in-law or to hinder the criminal investigation. Furthermore, there is no evidence Wag ner gat hered any data about the child injury case that was beyond his lawful authority to obtain, the Dec. 9 memo said. T he chi ld i nju r y, which was reported Sept. 20 to the Sheriff’s Office by the Helena Township day care provider, is still under investigation. The case has been referred to the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office for review.

Wagner, although unhappy with how Shelton handled the matter, says it had nothing to do with his decision to seek Shelton’s removal. “I’m uncomfortable with his style of leadership – things of that nature,” Wagner said. The Sand Creek Township funeral director and apple farmer said he told Shelton he was no longer comfortable with him as County administrator at the end of a contentious County Board chair-vice chair meeting a few weeks ago. He mentioned that it was Wolf, though, who did a lot of the shouting. “Believe me, this is not a sneak attack,” Wagner said. “I would love to go on a 15-minute little tirade about him. I would love to air my laundry in regards to him, the irritations I’ve had for 12, 13 years,” Wagner said. Asked about the chair-vice chair meeting and the potential termination, Wolf declined to comment much on the matter, citing it as a personnel issue. However, he said ahead of Tuesday’s meeting that he did not plan to second Wagner’s motion. “He can do what he wants,” Wolf said of Wagner.

“If it’s going to be all personal stuff, we’re here to represent the public. If we got a personal feeling, get over it.”

Savage man arrested in shooting death BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

A 22-year-old man from Savage was arrested early Saturday morning after a Burnsville man he was with was shot and killed. According to Burnsville police, the victim, a 22-year-old Burnsville man, was shot in an apartment in the 12700 block

of Nicollet Avenue in the early hours of Dec. 31. The man from Savage allegedly called police to report that the victim had shot himself. When officers arrived, the victim was found dead. A handgun was also found near the scene and the man from Savage was arrested. The man from Savage was later released as authorities

did not have enough evidence at the time to charge him with a crime. However, Burnsville police are continuing to investigate the case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if we have a crime or if we have a suicide,â&#x20AC;? said Burnsville Police Sgt. Rory Bochniak. Visit savagepacer.com for updates to this story.

Firefighters from across the metro area gathered in Chanhassen Dec. 21 for the announcement that the Minnesota Fallen Firefighter Memorial organization has raised $600,000 to create a new memorial on the grounds of the State Capitol. A concept plan for the memorial calls for names of each of Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fallen firefighters to be inscribed on columns. It also includes the memorial sculpture currently at the airport, as well as other design features like a bench for sitting and a wall inscribed with the names of every fire department in the state of Minnesota. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For families who have given the ultimate sacrifice, it would be nice to have sacred and hallowed ground on the Capitol grounds to be able to go visit,â&#x20AC;?

A modern convenience Belle Plaine historical house serves as museum of Victorian era’s modern conveniences BY MATHIAS BADEN editor@jordannews.com

vidence of a curious trend stands tall next to a historic house in Belle Plaine. The 1871 home opened for public tours in 1976, and eventually the Belle Plaine Historical Society started hyping up the building’s most noticeable architectural oddity – a two-story outhouse. Perplexing to some and humorous to others, the twostory outhouse drew visitors. “It’s a long time ago,” said Henrietta Stiles, at 95, the oldest member of the historical society. “We used to have busloads of people come through, and they used to buy souvenirs.” Teaspoons, key chains and coffee mugs donned the image of the outhouse, and a society member sold a half-dozen privy likenesses used as birdhouses. The rush is over, but the Hooper-Bowler-Hillstrom house and adjacent museum, which focuses on Belle Plaine businesses, remain open for tours. T-shirts featuring the outhouse and local cookbooks are still available for purchase, Stiles said.

HISTORY OF LIFE A two-story, four-seat outhouse with a ventilation system was modern for its time, but not the only convenience its early, prominent owners enjoyed. The architecture and décor of the Hooper-BowlerHillstrom house tells the story of its former residents’ status as welcome hosts, developers and prominent business owners. The historic home has been redecorated to reflect its early days – 1860s and 1870s in the upstairs bedrooms (see the cornhusk mattress), two late Victorian parlors near the entrance and a 1910s’ kitchen. It’s meant to show “a history of family life,” said Chris Meyer of the historical society, which partners with the city to preserve the structure. When Sanford Hooper built his home soon after Judge Andrew Chatfield founded Belle Plaine, location was key. Hooper lived on the path into town from the railroad depot and the Minnesota River, Meyer said. “He bought two lots, and then he bought two more,” said Stiles, who lived in the house for 40 years, “and then he bought the whole block.” Hooper owned a hotel, machine shop, foundry and riverboat. For ladies with long skirts, three so-called carriage stones at the front door served as graceful steps down from a buggy. Former owners

Tour guides use a diagram posted between the toilets to explain how a two-story outhouse works.

Can’t get enough? The Hooper-Bowler-Hillstrom house is open for tours. Visit the historic house, attached to a park near the intersection of Chestnut and Court streets in Belle Plaine, from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sundays, between Memorial and Labor days each year, and at other times by appointment.

With its two-story outhouse, Belle Plaine’s Hooper-Bowler-Hillstrom house is curious to those who fear sitting in the lower-level of the two two-seaters while someone else sits above. Odder still: The outhouse was located directly next to the kitchen window, but its ventilation system and deep hole kept it from spreading any unbearable odor.

routinely entertained guests. The home’s next owner, Samuel Bowler, is responsible for many of the home’s architectural innovations and improvements. Bowler – a father of 11 children, the owner of a lumberyard and the founder of Belle Plaine State Bank – made several additions after buying the home in 1886. He added his bedroom – probably also used as a business office – onto the ground floor. He moved the kitchen, making way for a new entertaining parlor. He also added the buttery. “This house is like everybody else’s house. If you wanted another room, you’d add it on,” Stiles said. Up the butler’s staircase, Bowler constructed additional bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The family did not have indoor toilets, but its copper-lined bathtub remains. The home also had a doorbell, which still works, and a 12-foot-wide bay window in one parlor, both rare for their time. Several outbuildings dot the property, including a woodshed and storage shed for coal. The historical society hopes to restore the small, brick smokehouse; its artifacts are displayed in the carriage house museum.

THE PRIVY Using an outhouse was part of everyday life, said Gerry Meyer, a historical society member. But a twostory outhouse was state of the art, he said. It was made of plaster and lathe, just like the house, and accessed by going outside. An open-air skyway connects the second levels of the house and outhouse. Two-story outhouses, a seemingly short-lived revolution during the Victorian era, are far more common out East than in the Midwest. Today, the outhouse contains a diagram of how it works. The upper-level seats aren’t located directly above the lower-level seats. Bowler, who built the outhouse, had one major issue: The outhouse was located near the new kitchen’s window. So a deep hole was dug, a ventilation pipe installed, and four curtained windows kept tilted open. Stiles said odors were never an issue. “It was pretty classy,” she said. And since it was attached to the house, it never fell victim to classic pranks of yesteryear – “it was never tipped over on Halloween,” Stiles said.

Two-story outhouses

Museum of South Dakota. This one might be a tourist trap – just a hunch.

Multi-story outhouses might be more common than you’d think:

Topping them all is a three-story outhouse attached to a Masonic Lodge in Bryant Pond, Maine, where multi-level outhouses were common.

San Juan Bautista, Calif., where the Plaza Hotel of State Historical Park reserved the upper-level restrooms for women and children, because of some women’s discomfort entering through the hotel’s barroom. Crested Butte, Colo., where the snowfall can bury part of the lower-level outhouse, thus making the upper level essential. Gays, Ill., where the two-story outhouse stands, roped off from onlookers, next to a flagpole. Its Facebook page simply states: “It’s a big deal.” It also contains a photo of a news article claiming the outhouse drew the interest of “Ripley’s Believe it or Not.”

Outhouse fun Looking for more outhouse-related curiosities? Try these: Don’t miss a minute of the movie at Delgadillo’s Snow Cap Drive-in, along Route 66 in Seligman, Ariz. The outhouses are equipped with TVs. Outhouse races take place in: Anchorage, Alaska; Mountain View, Ark.; Trenary, Mich; and elsewhere. Videos are readily available on YouTube.

Phelps, N.Y., a two-story outhouse at the brick Howe house. The local historical society is based in the museum there.

Lakeview, a miniature town at TrainTown near Sonoma, Calif., advertises – among other things – a tiny outhouse.

Lundbreck, Alberta, Canada, where the Windsor Hotel burned to the ground, leaving the two-story outhouse. An open-air skyway made the double-wide outhouse accessible to guests. It was moved to Heritage Park in Calgary.

LATER YEARS Stiles moved into the house at age 5 to live with her grandparents, Alfred and Matilda “Tillie” Hillstrom, who had lived there since 1904. The Hillstroms made few changes to the house’s interior, although Alfred, too, was innovative, making

The historical society purchased the house in 1975 and dedicated it a year later. It was in disrepair, Stiles said, and the city later bought the property and helped fix up and restore the house and grounds. “It was a great place to grow up,” Stiles said.

PRIOR LAKE-SAVAGE AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT

What is your New Year’s resolution this year? As we turn the calendar to 2012, Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools has several resolutions and each of our resolutions, or “Strategic Directions” as we like to call them, are already in the planning and implementation stages. There are six Strategic Directions that guide all of our schools in our programs, services and resources. They were designed with input from teachers, parents, community members, administrators, school board members and students. As we look ahead to our goals for 2012, our School Board and administrative team recently reflected on all that we have accomplished and where we are going as a district in the future. Increase measurable student growth and achievement P rior Lake - Savage A rea Schools has received national recognition for its Advanced Placement programming which offers increased rigor and helps students prepare for college. Grant dollars used for Response to Intervention has led to greater student success rates in reading. A focus this school year is to increase student achievement across the district and continue to help students make progress in their learning and on standardized tests. Continue f inancial accountability to the community while using available resources to educate students and maintain classsize targets P rior Lake - Savage A rea Schools is committed to being good stewards of our fi nancial resources. To that end we are proud to now have a stable fund balance. Class size is a continued high priority. In the coming year we have set aside dollars to reduce class sizes across our K-12 schools and classrooms. Our commitment into the future is to find cost saving and revenue generating opportunities.

Expand innovative programming to meet family needs 2011 brought back to the district Adult Basic Education, English Language Learners and General Education Development classes for adults through our Community Education program. These programs are open to all adults regardless of residence to continue their learning. 2012 will focus on the potential for E-STEM and World Language Immersion options at the elementary level. This study is underway now and recom mendations to t he School Board are expected this spring regarding the ESTEM study. The World Language Immersion options for elementary will be the focus of the second study, which will begin this year with recommendations for the 20132014 school year. Expand and embed environmental focus across the district P rior Lake - Savage A rea Schools is a state leader in environmental education (EE). From our district-wide organic recycling program and popular student clubs to science curriculum that is being emulated by other schools; we are paving the way to expand EE even further in 2012. Integrating technology for teaching and communications; increasing capacity to set standards for all learners using 21st century skills A new phone and email system was brought to all employees in 2011. It also was the

year we implemented a new social media policy designed for educational use with the goal of engaging students even more in the school day by using technology in new and exciting ways. In 2012, our technology goals will expand to include implementing a comprehensive framework for 21st century learning that includes integrated learning opportunities and a five-year plan for future hardware and software needs throughout the district. Engage parents, families and community to strengthen a culture of respect and inclusion Marketing our district to families will continue to be a focus with the goal of making Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools the number one choice for families south of the Minnesota River. Increasing student enrollment, particularly at the elementary level, while maintaining class-size targets allows for expanded programming opportunities and choices for students. These are all district-wide highlights of our plan, but each school also has its own goals under these same Strategic Directions that are helping each individual student achieve success. Setting goals and implementing them is never an easy task but our Strategic Directions are stretching us to make even greater improvements for students though creative thinking, innovation and fiscal responsibility. Our goal for Prior LakeSavage Area Schools is to make each of our Strategic Directions a reality in 2012. These are New Year’s resolutions that we will achieve!

WRESTLING

Holding strong Ninth-ranked Lakers go 4-2 at The Clash National Duals BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

The Prior Lake wrestling team capped off a brutal December schedule Dec. 30 -31 competing in The Clash National Duals in Rochester. And Lakers more than held their own against some of elite competition from around the country. Prior Lake went 4-2 in its six duals with five of them against teams from other states. The Lakers won their last four duals after losing their fi rst two. Before the season, Lakers coach Joe Block said his team’s dual-meet record may not accurately reflect how good his team could potentially be later in the season. Prior Lake is looking to defend its Section 2AAA title in February. “Our team record after De-

cember may be deceiving,” Block said before the season. “We are going to be challenged early on, but again our goal is to be successful at the end of the season and I think our schedule lends itself to preparing us for the end of the year.” So far, the Lakers are 10-6 in duals (1-1 in the South Suburban Conference). So not bad. The fi rst day of The Clash features three duals in four pre-determined brackets. The Lakers finished seventh in theirs, Bracket D, so they faced the other three seventh-place fi nishes in a round-robin format the following day. Prior Lake opened with a 46-20 loss to St. Paris Graham, a Division II power from Ohio. The small school (626 enrollment) has won 11 straight Division II state titles. The Lakers followed with a

43-24 loss to Pierre, a perennial state power in South Dakota. The Lakers fi nished the fi rst day with a come-from-behind 34-32 win over Anoka, ranked No. 12 in Class 3A, while Prior Lake is ranked No. 9. On the second day, the Lakers proved to be the best of the best among the seventh-place bracket fi nishers. Prior Lake won 44-26 over Punahou, a perennial power from Hawaii. The Lakers followed with wins over two South Dakota programs – 45-34 over Mitchell and 39-33 over Rapid City Central. Juniors Tanner Johnshoy and Ryan Norton and senior Ross Larson led the Lakers with each winning five of their six matches. Johnshoy, one of only two Lakers who are ranked (No. 3 at 113 pounds), had five wins by pin. Against Anoka, Prior

Lake was down 32-28 with one match to go, Johnshoy’s at 113. He delivered the win with a fall 14 seconds into the second period. L a r son won fou r of h i s matches by fall. He also had a huge pin against Anoka to give the Lakers a brief 28-26 lead (Prior Lake lost by fall at 103). Norton wrestled at three different weights in the two days, showing his versatility. He went 3-1 with one fall at 138 pounds, won by fall at 145 and earned a 10-1 major decision at 152 in the win over Anoka. Senior Matt Kahnke and sophomores Blake Carlisle and Luis Pinto each went 4-2. Carlisle won all of his matches at 126, getting three pins. Kahnke fi nished 3-2 at 145 pounds and was 1-0 at 152 with

Season looks to be over Back injury sidelines Lakers’ top gymnast

Inconsistency has slowed down Lakers

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

The Prior Lake gymnastics team hasn’t been in action since Dec. 20, but the Christmas break wasn’t too kind to the Lakers. Coach Barb Kass said the team’s top gymnast – senior Sydney Notermann – is most likely out for the season with a back injury. Notermann did not compete in the Lakers’ first three meets due to a herniated disc. “This is a hu g e lo s s t o ou r t e a m a s Sydney is such a g reat g y mn a s t ,” s a i d Kass. “I think she would have had a very good chance of making it to state this year. “Her beam was very solid a nd wa s f u l l PHOTO BY TOM SCHARDIN o f d i f f ic u lt y before the inPrior Lake senior Sydney ju r y,” a dd e d Notermann’s back injury K a s s . “ S he’s will likely keep her out still in the the rest of the season. gym every day conditioning and helping the younger team members make their routines and fulfi lling her role as captain.” Notermann was a state entrant on the beam as a sophomore. Last year, she just missed qualifying again at the Section 2AA meet. She was fi fth (top four qualify) with a score of 9.15, missing the fourth spot by .15. Kass did say Notermann’s family is checking out their options to see if she can compete later this season, so there’s a slight chance Notermann could be back. Prior Lake is back in action today (Saturday, Jan. 7) in the New Prague Invitational. The Lakers return to South Suburban Conference action Tuesday, Jan. 10 at a triangular meet with Apple Valley and host Eastview at 6 p.m. The Lakers are also preparing for the Lakeville North Invitational Jan. 14 starting at 8 a.m. Going forward, senior Bridgette Smith will be one to watch for the Lakers, along with seventh-grader Kailey Dobransky and ninthgrader Angela Noer. Those three are the Lakers’ top all-around performers. However, Smith and Dobransky have dealt with injuries early on as well. Smith missed the fi rst two meets, before returning in the last one. Dobransky’s has been nursing an ankle injury. The Lakers’ top team score this season has been 126.9. The team’s high last year was 137.4 in an injury-plagued season. Two years ago, the Lakers hit 143.23 for a season-high, which came at sections to fi nish third.

At times, the Prior Lake boys hockey team looks like a team that will be a serious contender for the Section 2AA title. But other times, the Lakers haven’t always looked the part. Prior Lake played host to a struggling Hopkins team Jan. 3 and the non-conference game ended up being a Royal pain for the Lakers – a 4-3 loss. The Lakers fell back to the .500 mark (5-5 overall) with the setback. Hopkins was just 3-7 going into the game with its three wins over teams with a combined 9-24-2 mark. Meanwhile, Prior Lake went into the game on the heels of a third-place finish at the Rochester Kiwanis Festival Dec. 28-30. The Lakers beat Eastview 6-4 in the quarterfi nals (which also counted as a South Suburban Conference game), but lost 1-0 in overtime to Eau Claire in the semifi nals. Prior Lake bounced back in the third-place game with a 7-2 win over Fargo South. Senior defensema n Kyle Krueger has scored six goals for the Lakers in their last four games, including two in the loss to Hopkins. He leads the team with eight goals. “Kyle skates and passes so well,” said Lakers coach Joe Pankratz. “He’s big and strong. He can physically dominate most high school kids. He’s really suited as a defenseman.” Against Hopkins, the Royals led the Lakers 3-1 going into the third period, before Prior Lake staged a late comeback scoring two goals in 1:53 to tie the game with a 1:33 left in regulation. But as quick as the Lakers stole the momentum, they lost it. Hopkins answered Prior Lake’s tying goal in just 16 seconds and held on from there to secure the win. Krueger scored the Lakers’ first two goals, while senior Matt Crist had the tying goal. Sophomore Connor Bump fi nished with two assists, while Krueger had one. Senior Kyle Miller started in goal and finished with 23 saves.

Burnsville senior defenseman Alexa Pearson has played a big part in the Blaze’s quick turnaround from a 0-5 start. Burnsville is 6-2-3 in its last 11 games.

Marked improvement Blaze fights back to .500 before suffering 6-0 defeat BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

The Burnsville girls hockey team has been a different club the last few weeks, impressively fighting out of a 0-6-3 hole. But the Blaze ran into a strong Lakeville North team Jan. 3 in a South Suburban Conference road game. The Panthers were sitting atop of the conference standings with a 6-1-1 mark and stayed there with a 6-0 win over the Blaze. The loss snapped Burnsville six-game winning streak. Burnsville (6-7-3 overall) is still 6-2-3 in its last 11 games after starting the year with five straight losses. But should the Blaze’s loss to the Panthers be of some concern? Lakeville North outshot the Blaze 28-7. Burnsville has had 30 or more shots on net in 10 of its 13 games, so either the Panthers are just that stout on defense or the Blaze had an off night offensively.

Probably a little bit of both. Lakeville North (11-3-1) has won seven games by shutout. The Panthers led ony 2-0 after two periods of play, before erupting for four goals in the third period. The Blaze went into the game having won three of its last four games by shutout – 2-0 over Proctor/Hermantown and 8 - 0 over Owatonna and 1-0 over No. 6-ranked Edina. Eighth-grader Lauren Bench, who had two of those shutouts (Owatonna and Edina), made the start against Lakeville North and fi nished with 22 saves. In the win over Proctor/Hermantown Dec. 29, which capped off a three-game sweep for the Blaze in its own round-robin holiday tournament, Burnsville scored two third-period goals to pull out the win. Sophomore Lindsey Coleman broke the scoreless tie with a goal 4:57 into the fi nal period. Senior Jenni fer Maloney and junior Karis Volk assisted. Senior Rachel Prairie followed

with a goal 2:09 later with ninthgrader Maddie Dockry assisting. Ninth-grader Madison Schertler made the start in goal and had to make just eight saves for the shutout. The Blaze had 41 shots on net. Burnsville is back on the ice today (Saturday, Jan. 7) in a conference game with Apple Valley. The game could have Section 3AA seed implications since the Eagles won the fi rst meeting 3-2 back on Nov. 22. Burnsville will play at Bloomington Kennedy in a league game Tuesday, Jan. 10 at 7 p.m., before returning home Jan. 14 for another key game against a section foe. The Blaze faces No. 10 Eagan at 3 p.m. The two rivals tied 2-2 in the fi rst meeting back on Dec. 3.

Girls hockey: Lakers snap losing skid The Prior Lake girls hockey team has been working overtime. The Lakers’ last three games have gone into an extra session, including their South Suburban Conference game at Lakeville South Jan. 3. However, Prior Lake was unable to win its second straight overtime game, falling 3-2 to the Cougars. The Lakers are 2-11-1 overall, 0-7-1 in the conference. The good news is the Lakers are starting to score a few more goals. The team has seven in its last three games, including a 3-2 home win over CretinDerham Hall Dec. 29. Prior Lake had just eight goals in its first 10 games. However, the Lakers are still struggling to get shots on net. They had just seven in the loss to Lakeville South. Meanwhile, the Cougars had 52, forcing sophomore goalie Lexi Brant to make 49 saves. Prior Lake has had 20-plus shots on net in just one game. It has been held under 10 shots five times. Against the Cougars, Prior Lake led 2-0 after the fi rst period on goals scored 1:18 apart. Ninth-grader Lindsey Harris tallied, followed by a goal from senior Megan Kallberg. Senior Michelle Jeurissen and sophomore Amber Galles assisted on Harris’ goal, while sophomore Amanda Muller and senior Claire Clark had the assists on Kallberg’s. Lakeville South scored a second-period goal and forced overtime with 47 seconds left in the third period. In the win over Cretin, sophomore Bailey Halstrom 1:45 into the extra session to end the team’s seven-game losing streak. The Lakers led 2-1 after the fi rst period, getting goals from ninth-grader Keely Totenhagen and Clark. Brandt f inished with 32 saves. Clark and Totenhagen also assisted on Halstrom’s goal.

Tyus Jones showed the Prior Lake boys basketball team why he’s not only the best guard in the state, but perhaps the best player. The talented Apple Valley sophomore pumped in a game-high 38 points to lead the No. 5-ranked Eagles to a 78-70 home win over a feisty Lakers squad in both team’s South Suburban Conference openers Jan. 3. Prior Lake (4-4 overall) went into the game on the heels of winning two games in the Granite City Classic in St. Cloud Dec. 28-29 by a combined 19.5 points Prior Lake opened the tourney with a 75-56 victory over St. Michael-Albertville and topped Delano 70-50 the next day. Meanwhile, Jones is being heavily recruited by Division I programs nationwide, already receiving offers, according to media reports, from Minnesota, Arizona, Iowa State, Michigan State, Ohio State, Baylor and Marquette. He’s averaging 28.8 points per game. But the Lakers didn’t seem too fazed in the first half by Jones and the Eagles. Prior Lake, led by its own standout sophomore guard, Jon Sobaski, led 42-36 at the break. Prior Lake was up 59-58 with 10 minutes to play, before Apple Valley and Jones started to make their move. The Eagles clung to a 70-67 lead with a minute left before pulling away down the stretch. Sobaski finished with 19 points for the Lakers (4-4 overall), which had their threegame win streak snapped.

Missing the shot mark Shooting woes for the Lakers in a 49-44 conference setback BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

DNR warns of ice safety with warm temps Forecasted temperatures in the 40s across southern Minnesota add yet another reason to be careful if heading out on the ice, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). “Ice thickness guidelines become unreliable once the temp gets above 32 degrees,” according to Lt. Cory Palmer, enforcement supervisor for the DNR. “Snowmobiles, ATVs and other vehicles should stay off the ice until temps drop below 32 degrees for at least 24 hours.” Even if the ice seems thick enough, temperature and other factors such as currents, wind, water chemistry and wildlife can impact the relative safeness of ice. According to Lt. Palmer, last week in Kandiyohi County alone, three ATVs went through the ice. He stresses that there is no such thing as 100 percent safe ice. Lt. Palmer suggests contacting a local bait shop or resort for ice reports on a specific lake and frequently checking ice thickness with an ice auger, ice chisel or even a cordless drill with a long wood auger bit.

It is time once more to live through the annual learning process of writing the correct date on documents. If you are like me, I stumble and scratch out the date for at least two weeks before I mostly get it right. It is not so embarrassing these first couple of weeks of the year when everyone else is in the same boat. It gets worse as January lingers on and the rest of the world has made the transition to 2012. No doubt, there will be that day mid-month when I’m still scratching a line through 2011. Behaviors and habits are hard to change. That is why New Year’s resolutions should be renamed New Year’s “intentions” or New Year’s “wishes”. Behaviors and habits – especially the bad ones – die hard. As I fumble with getting the date right, I wonder what other behaviors and patterns in my life need adjustment. This is essentially a spiritual question. What behaviors and patterns are consistent with my beliefs about God, myself and the world that God has made? What changes might be made in my behaviors, in the way that I treat others, in the way that I worship and pray, in the manner that I practice my faith that will bring me closer to God, my neighbor and my true self ? As a Christian, I wish that in this newly-minted year that I will be a little more like Jesus. I wish that my prayers and worship will be without stopping. I wish that my generosity will grow as I give and share my blessings

LICHTENBERGER SPIRTUAL REFLECTIONS

in more concrete ways. I wish that I will come to better appreciate the presence of God in the place where I work and live. I wish. I wish. I wish. Whereas all these things are good intentions, they all run the risk of being forgotten once I get the calendar year right. There is more romance and less “resolve” in these resolutions. It becomes all too easy to settle back into the patterns of the past; which although they have sparked the intention to change, they have yet to make much of an actual impact. What is needed is something more than wishing on a star … what is needed is a renewed resolve to be the person that God has created me to be. Let me suggest starting with a daily return to the most basic of biblical truths – God has created me and all that exists. How I respond to the life that God has given is important. Today presents me with an opportunity to live out my faith in a real and tangible way. Today presents me with the opportunity to break the lifeless habits of

the past. Hard as it may be, fail as I might, I can choose to live this day with gratitude and thanksgiving. Actions of thankful living and generosity need to accompany the way I answer these questions if they are ever going to make a change in the way I live out my faith. As a pastor, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out the importance of living out our spiritual life in the context of community. Our resolve to live the life that God created us to live is strengthened as we gather with others. Communal worship is an important way of beginning each week with gratitude and thanksgiving – especially if we are having a difficult time with selecting these behaviors. Being involved in outreach projects, a critical part of most congregational life, gives us the opportunity to live beyond patterns of selfinterest and self-centeredness. 2012 – as a year it is just starting to be written. During these opening weeks of transition and lingering resolutions is a golden opportunity to make some positive changes in our spirituality and in the way that we worship/pray with others. May we all have a renewed resolve to seek those things that bring life, for in that journey we are bound to encounter the Creator of life itself. (Rev. Walt Lichtenberger is a pastor at St. James Lutheran Church in Burnsville. He is one of several area pastors who write for “Spiritual Reflections,” a weekly column appearing in this newspaper.)

Church administrative assistant leads by example BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com

Lynda Standish has been married to Doug Brinkman for 20 years. While she has nothing but glowing things to say about their bond and the joy she gets from spending time with him, none of it is enough to make her change her name. Being known as Lynda Brinkman would obscure her family tree’s brightest branch. “That’s part of why I wanted to keep the name,” says Standish, who is an 11th-generation descendant of Mayflower passenger and Plymouth Colony protector Myles Standish. “I’m so proud of the heritage.” Standish estimates that she has lived in Prior Lake, many miles from where her famous ancestor settled all those centuries ago, for 45 years. It is the place where she has raised her six children, all of whom still live here except for her youngest daughter Anna Allen, who lives in Shakopee. “She’s the rebel,” Standish says of her daughter. Allen may be the only one of her siblings to live outside of Prior Lake, but she spends plenty of time in the city. She runs a youth group at Prior Lake’s Harbor Community Church and two years ago successfully persuaded Standish to become her colleague. “Anna wanted me to work here and work with the pastor because heart and soul was in this church,” Standish says. For over two years, Standish has been the pastor’s administrative assistant at Harbor Community Church. Her daily tasks include everything from answering phones and scheduling appointments for the Rev. Joshua Johnson to greeting visitors and handling the church’s budget and staff salaries. “I’m painting the walls and scrubbing the floors and moving the furniture,” Standish says. “I’m kind of a jack of all trades.” She has helped Harbor to weather some real struggles, including the collapse of part of the church’s roof in 2010. Standish says she’s uniquely suited to dealing with repairs and structural issues. “I think that’s why the

Lord put me here,” she says. Standish retired in 2008 from her career as a commercial sales representative, a work history that included 20 years at Sears. She’s been a member of Harbor for three years, watching the congregation quadruple in size. “It’s really because of all this outreach and ministry that I wanted to be a part of this church,” Standish says. “It just touched my heart.” Harbor hosts ministries to help those less fortunate, whether they are members of the church, local residents or people living throughout the world. The church’s Helping Hands Free Shop has clothes, games, books and other assorted donated items which are then available without charge to people who are struggling financially. Various groups from the church go on mission trips throughout the year, building houses and providing other services for people living in poverty across the globe. “People don’t even have to go to our church,” Standish says. “They just need to let us know they need help.” Though she said Harbor “is not a cookie-cutter church at all,” it seems to be a perfect fit for Standish, who calls outreach her favorite part of the job. “I feel like I’m following what Christ would want us to do, to help people in need,” she says. “To teach people by example.” When Standish isn’t at the church, she can often be found spending time with her 14 grandchildren. “I have so much fun with the kids,” she says. “It’s so much fun being a grandparent, watching them discover new things.”

Q AND A WITH LYNDA STANDISH What’s your favorite thing about Prior Lake? I still feel it has a smalltown feel about it. I believe in Minnesota nice, and the people are really nice here. What three words or phrases would someone use to describe you? Driven, goal-oriented and giving. What is the last good movie you saw? “The Help.” I read the book first and then I saw the movie. I really enjoyed it particularly

It depends on who I’m going with … If I was with my husband it wouldn’t matter, as long as he was with me. What is your favorite vacation that you’ve taken? For my husband’s 60th birthday, we drove up to the Upper Peninsula. We stayed in a cabin on the lake, just having that time alone with him one-on-one.

Dakota Liquors closing its doors after 30 years Owner cites effects of intense competition BY LORI CARLSON editor@plamerican.com

A longtime member of the loca l busi ness com mu nity will close its doors at the end of January. After 30 years in the liquor industry, Kevin Bresnahan said he will liquidate his stock and close Dakota Liquors due to fierce competition from “big box” liquor retailers. He anticipates that the store’s last day will be Jan. 31, but it may close sooner if the merchandise is cleared more quickly. The most immediate competition came in 2009, when the franchise MGM Wine and Spirits opened just 340 feet from Bresnahan’s store at the southwest corner of Highway 13 and County Road 42. Bresnahan appealed a Prior Lake City Council decision to allow MGM to open, saying the City should have an ordinance limiting how close liquor stores can be to one another. The state Court

“Please support your small local businesses. If you don’t, there aren’t going to be any left.” Kevin Bresnahan Owner of Dakota Liquors of Appeals affirmed the City Council’s approval of a liquor license for MGM. To the north of Dakota Liquors is one of Savage’s two municipally-owned liquor stores, Marketplace Liquor. Last week, as he prepared for his going-out-of-business sale, Bresnahan urged customers to buy from local shops. “Please support your small local businesses,” he said. “If you don’t, there aren’t going to be any left.” Bresnahan said he contributed to community groups over the years through financial and in-kind donations.

“I have been lucky and had the opportunity to build longlasting business and personal relationships with many customers and suppliers,” he said. “I really enjoyed the daily interaction with the wonderful people who reside in our community.” In addition to 30 years of operating Dakota Liquors, Bresnahan owned a liquor store of the same name in Burnsville from 1977 until he sold that shop in 2004. The Prior Lake building has been sold to a local orthodontist.
