There she is... Mrs. Savage BY AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com

aren Cavalli never considered herself the pageant type. Growing up, she called one of her sisters “pageant quality” and the other sister a “hippy beauty,” but Cavalli only considered herself “good enough.” Now, at age 52, she’s embracing the inner and outer qualities that have brought her to this latest venture: representing the city as Mrs. Savage. “I’ve come through a lot to a fairly peaceful place,” said Cavalli.

A CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT Cavalli was recommended for the position of Mrs. Savage by an acquaintance in the business community. She inquired with the Mrs. Minnesota-America Pageant directors and they scheduled a preliminary interview. With no other competition from women in the city, she was welcomed at the end of August as a contestant in the Mrs. Minnesota-America Pageant representing the city of Savage. This is the 33rd year of the Mrs. Minnesota-America Pageant, and the last individual to hold the Mrs. Savage title was Katina Schroeder in 2006. Cavalli is most excited about the opportunities her title

will afford her to meet people in the community. She’s even considering the purchase of a sash and tiara. “My husband, Tom, and I are both quiet people. We both read a lot. I guess you could call me an introvert with good social skills,” said Cavalli. One of her greatest qualities: she has “no fear of public speaking,” which will come in handy for the interview portion of the pageant March 3, 2012, at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul. Judging in the competition is based 50 percent on the interview, 25 percent on physical fitness and 25 percent on the evening gown. Cavalli has already picked out her evening gown, a vintage number from a resale shop, and she has a vision for the “costume” she will don during the interview portion of the contest. “I needed something that represents Minnesota, and Minnesota has a huge Spanish-speaking population,” said Cavalli. “So I Googled, ‘How would you

If cities and townships want to score more jobs in Scott County, local business leaders say the county better start acting more like a business: Market yourself better. Play more with others. And, most importantly, be a person (i.e. county) of your word. “Bu si nesses don’t li ke r u naround, they don’t like red tape and they don’t like double talk,” said Savage City Administrator Barry Stock at a recent forum in Prior Lake. “You got to be straight

If we don’t do that collectively as a county, I worry in three years, this work will be all for naught.” The Scott County Association for Leadership and Efficiency (SCALE) compiled a group of local business leaders, real estate experts and others to identify strategies to further the county’s goal of securing enough employment by 2030 to support half of its labor force. The committee completed work this summer and shared its fi ndings with local elected officials in a meeting last month. To compete with real estate space in adjacent counties and other regions, the county needs to create and promote a consistent image and identify, as well address site

Two accesses to Highway 13/101 will close permanently next week primarily for safety reasons, but also to help with traffic flow. The intersection of Highway 13/101 and Rhode Island Avenue will close permanently Monday, Oct. 10, and the intersection of Highway 13/101 and Louisiana Avenue will close permanently Thursday, Oct. 13. The right-out movement at the intersection of Highway 101 and Zinran Avenue will also close permanently on Friday, Oct. 14. Eastbound traffic will still be able to turn right onto Zinran.

SAFETY/TRAFFIC FLOW According to MnDOT’s project web site, the intersection of Highway 13/101 was ranked No. 18 on the statewide list of Top 200 Highest Crash Cost intersections using crash data from 2005-2007. MnDOT anticipates that the project improvements will reduce the number of crashes at the intersection

by around 80 percent. “Uncontrolled intersections such as these create vehicle conflicts that result in more crashes, particularly on higher speed roadways,” said Charleen Zimmer, public information coordinator for the Highway 13/101 project. “They also have an impact on travel speed/travel time and roadway capacity.”

Zimmer said that by providing a grade-separated interchange rather than intersections like those at Louisiana, Rhode Island and Zinran, the number of crashes and vehicle delays will likely be reduced. The anticipated completion date for construction on the Highway 13/101 project is September 2012.

Contestants in the Mrs. Minnesota-America Pageant aren’t required to have a platform, but Cavalli does want to spread the word about two topics that are important to her: physical fitness and her ongoing quest to find balance in her life. “We live in a culture that makes you think you have to achieve. How do you balance what drives you but doesn’t bring in the money you need?� she said. And Cavalli asks that question of herself often. She has led a successful life so far by most people’s standards. The company she works for, ITR Group, contracts with Best Buy Corporate for some of its web-based content documentation, and for 14

Ask Dr. Josh EFFECTS OF WHIPLASH Whiplash is the effect of sprain & strain in the neck, most often due to having your vehicle rear-ended by another vehicle. This type of accident “whips� Dr. Watkins the neck back & forth, thereby injuring nerves. This can cause a loss of natural curvature in the neck, which left untreated can lead to a variety of symptoms and health problems. Chiropractic treatment of whiplash injury provides pain relief, removes pressure on the nerves, and prevents the proliferation of spinal arthritis.

PRIOR LAKE-SAVAGE AREA SCHOOLS

District misses AYP mark AYP is the measure of student proficiency mandated by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act and measured through results on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA). duced lunch didn’t make proficiency for reading. Bridges ALC students sailed through reading but hit snags on the math test, missing AYP in participation and proficiency for math as well as attendance. If a school that receives Title I dollars misses AYP, even in one subgroup, for two consecutive years, it is then forced to implement some sort of reform until it can meet the requirements for two years in a row. This is exactly the situation Five Hawks found itself in last year. After two years of missing AYP in the special-education subgroups, as a consequence, Five Hawks student families had the option to remove their students from the school and send them to Grainwood. Only one family opted in last year. Though the results were delayed, Five Hawks Principal Tim Bell proceeded as planned and sent out a letter to parents notifying them of the situation and reminding them that they did have the choice to remove their students. According to Bell, “four or five” families inquired about the letter but no student families cited AYP as a reason for relocating their students this school year. Five Hawks was able to reverse its fortunes this year and make AYP in all subgroups, including special education. “I felt like I was five inches taller because the load had been lifted,” said Bell about his feelings upon hearing the news. Much like the district, Five Hawks students and staff are in the midst of a two-year plan to raise student proficiency. Teachers have been working on test-taking strategies and computer literacy with students as well as making a concerted effort to incorporate state standards into the classroom if the current curriculum does not include them. While Five Hawks has one foot out of the AYP grave, the students, staff and parents continue to press on. “Our goal was not just to be off the list,” said Bell. “Our goal was to grow.”

GOODBYE AYP? The Minnesota Department of Education is currently in the midst of applying for a waiver that would remove the state’s school districts from NCLB standards and instead shift them to evaluations based on state-developed criteria. Should the waiver be approved, Minnesota will still be held to current federal standards for the rest of the current school year. The earliest the reforms would take effect is the 2012-13 school year. “All we know right now is that we are still held to the accountability of No Child Left Behind,” Holmberg said. “Overall, I think probably the one thing that’s hard is the little bit of the uncertainty.”

District 191 will ask for levy renewal Slight decrease in school portion of property taxes expected At a special meeting Sept. 30, the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Board approved an annual operating levy that slightly reduces the school district’s portion of local property taxes for next year. On Nov. 8, the school district will ask voters to renew an existing levy that will maintain its current funding through the 2012-13 school year. The proposed annual operating levy would raise about $33.8 million for the 2012-13 school year, less than the $33.9 million levy in 2011, which was 0.38 percent more than the levy in 2010. The proposed levy is also less than in 2001 when the levy was $38.1 million, according to Lisa Rider, the director of business services for District 191. “We’ve done the best we can to keep any change in the levy to near zero,” she said. A renewal of the existing levy would not provide the school district with an increase in funding. District 191 spends $380 per pupil on district administration, compared to the state average of $553 per pupil,

and less than the metro-area school district average of $392 per pupil. About 74 percent of spending in District 191 goes to instruction and student support services, according to the school district. The proposed levy would amount to only about 20 percent of the district’s total revenue. On average, about 75 percent of the funding for BurnsvilleEagan-Savage School District comes from state aid. The current levy is set to expire in 2013. Non-renewal would result in the loss of about $10 million in operating funds for the school district. The levy was fi rst approved in 2001, and renewal in November would extend it for another 10 years. School district officials expect the proposed levy will not increase taxes, but the effect of the levy will vary upon individual circumstances. Property owners will receive tax statements from their county in November with details of their specific situation. The school district’s annual Truth in Taxation hearing is scheduled to take place during the regular board meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 1,

GUEST COMMENTARY

Know the jury duty process before serving BY MICHAEL BAXTER

Much of the work done in Minnesota district courts involves criminal complaints. The most important decisions in many criminal matters are made by juries, not judges. Article VI of both the United States and Minnesota Constitutions gives people the right to a jury trial in most criminal and civil matters. Fortunately, the jury system is a real strength in the court’s goal of achieving justice. In 2010 in Minnesota, over 94,000 people were summoned for jury duty. In excess of 58,000 people ended up sitting as jurors. As a judge, I give jurors the opportunity to meet with me after a trial is complete. Juries almost always want to meet with the judge. The jurors, fi rst of all, want to know if I believe they “got it right.” The decisions of juries are right if they followed the rules and the law given to them by the judge, which is almost always the case. My experience is that juries do usually “get it right,” and are generally attentive and perceptive. One question jurors often have concerns about is the questioning process prospective jurors go through, which is called “voir dire.” In French, voir dire means “to speak the truth.” It is, more importantly, the process used by lawyers and judges to obtain information about prospective jurors. Judges are most interested in confi rming that there is no reason a juror cannot fairly serve on the case. Since this questioning is often a concern of jurors, it may be helpful to learn about it in advance of being summoned for jury duty. We will look at the purpose for voir dire, the role of jurors, the process of selection, and the role of the judge and attorneys. Purpose: The purpose of voir dire is, fi rst and foremost, to discover any bias or prejudice that would prevent a person from serving as a juror. Jurors need not be free of opinions or ignorant of facts, but they must be able to set aside those opinions and render a verdict based solely upon the evidence presented at the trial. If a person cannot do that, they must be excused from serving as a juror. Another purpose is to give attorneys information in order to exercise their preemptory challenges. All parties in a case are allowed to excuse a limited number of prospective jurors without cause. This is known as a preemptory challenge and typically involves prospective jurors the attorneys or parties believe will not be favorable to their case. Process: Depending on the type of case or local practice, prospective jurors may be questioned in a group or individually. Gener-

ally, the judge asks questions at t he beginning. Then, each attorney (in Minnesota, be ginning with the defense) may ask questions. After the questioning is complete Michael and the judge has Baxter ruled on any challenges for cause, the peremptory challenges are exercised by the attorneys and the jury is “empaneled.” Roles of attorneys and judges: The role of attorneys in voir dire is to obtain information from the prospective jurors, not give information about their client’s case. The judge’s role is to assure the fairness of the process, to enforce the rules and to decide any challenges for cause. Juror’s role: During the voir dire process, jurors must give answers that are honest and complete. They are required to answer questions that may be personal, private and even embarrassing to some. The type of case will often determine the nature of the questions. For example, in a case of criminal sexual misconduct, questions about sexual abuse suffered by a juror could be asked. If a prospective juror is uncomfortable answering a question in open court, there is a safeguard in place. Prospective jurors may request to answer questions in private, meaning that only the judge, attorneys, parties and court reporter would be present. It is the judge’s role to make sure that attorneys are not asking questions other than those meant to obtain meaningful information, and that prospective jurors are not required to answer unrelated questions. For example, it would likely be inappropriate for an attorney to ask a prospective juror about their personal marriage relationship in a trial case about a burglary. Finally, jurors are best served by asking for clarification for any vague or confusing questions. Attorneys (and judges) often slip into “legalese,” making questions hard to understand or answer honestly. Conclusion: Jury service is at the heart of an effective justice system. While voir dire can sometimes be boring and repetitious, jurors can help by being honest and open in their answers, and by paying attention to the instructions given. Voir dire is the first critical stage of a trial, and an important stage for all involved. We thank you for your service as jurors, past or future. Judges and court personnel strive to make jury service a rewarding experience. (Michael Baxter is a judge in the First Judicial District chambered in Le Center.)

COMMUNITY VOICES

Fundraising: It’s that time of year When a colleague asked me why I didn’t want to buy a particular product she was selling for her daughter, it led me to answer her question in this column. It is that time of year when neighbors and co-workers begin bringing in the annual fundraising sheets. From greenery to pizza to coupon books to cookie dough, I think I have seen every possible item that could be sold. But the cookie dough led me into an entirely non-food related discussion. The product was the pink ribbon cookie dough that also gave a portion of its proceeds to cancer organizations. I asked who it was going to and she replied, “Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.” I told her I do not donate to them and she was shocked. “Why don’t you donate to them? Don’t you care about Cancer? What about your mother? What about finding a cure?” So I decided to share my answer to all of her questions. So why not Komen? The first reason for me is that they continue funding Planned Parenthood programs, and they give reasons why this is OK. The main arguments they make are that they are only funding breast examinations and that you should look at the facts behind all the good that Planned Parenthood does and not just that they do abortions. Well, the facts are that the majority of the screenings are not the mammograms that the term “examination” leads most to believe. Instead, many are actually level one exams, similar to the self exams that women do in the shower. But even if they were doing actual good, it does not take away from their involvement in abortion. A good friend gave me this analogy: would you be happy funding “cigarette purchases for a cure?” Studies have shown that cigarettes relieve

anxiety and depression, can help with Alzheimer’s and provide relief from ulcerative colitis among other things. Sure, cigarettes are linked to the deaths of millions of smokers through cancer and lung disease, but why are you focusing on just the negative and not seeing all the good work? My friend’s point was that good work does not change the fact that they are killing people. Celebrating someone’s life by having funds go to pay for the administration of an organization that works to end life seems strange to me. Don’t I care about cancer? As a matter of fact I do. Prostate cancer is the leading cause of death in men, but I don’t see many ribbons or cookie sales for that. And while breast cancer is the leading cancer diagnosis in women, according to CDC statistics, the leading cause of death from cancer in women is lung cancer. A lot of cancer research gets lost in the pink marketing wave of the Komen organization. And what about my mother? Well, as it just so happens, my mother suffers from the leading cause of death in women: heart disease. Finally, don’t I want to find a cure? This leads me back to why I don’t

donate to Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. As the name would imply and most people assume, their main focus would be on finding a cure for breast cancer. So I went to the Komen site and found the financial filings to see where they are spending all those donations. It was surprising to fi nd that despite being called the Race for the Cure, Komen’s consolidated financial statements show that they spent more money on administration and fundraising expenses last year then they did on research funding. With the recent news about them suing any other organization that uses a ribbon or any variation of the words “for the cure,” perhaps they should change their name to something more accurate like “Race for the Lawyers.” I am not suggesting that you should not donate to help those causes you care about. I know many people who have been directly affected by breast cancer. My sister-in-law’s mother died from cancer. But when I made a donation in her honor, I donated directly to a research organization. If you want to donate for breast cancer there are many good national organizations that spend a majority of the funds directly on research such as Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Or might I suggest helping out a local treatment facility like St. Francis? Please continue to give, but just do so with the knowledge of what it is you are donating for and how those funds are being spent. I would suggest the best way to honor a life is to also honor life.

LETTERS FROM READERS AWARENESS MONTH

Death, disease aren’t marketing tools As a breast cancer survivor, I hate the month of October. It has nothing to do with the change of seasons or the fi rst frost. What I can’t stand is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Really, I support Breast Cancer Awareness. About 250,000 people will be diagnosed with this disease this year and almost 40,000 will die. We need awareness, and well-funded research. What I hate is the use of death and disease as a marketing tool. “Cause Marketing” is the official strategy by which we are offered everything from pink-ribbon t-shirts,

ball caps, and dust mops to pinkribbon shaped bagels, rebates on sticky yogurt lids, and overpriced pink kitchen appliances. Sometimes I feel like I should buy these items as a totem. As if pink running shoes will protect me from cancer’s evil spirits. Until now, the most ridiculous product I have seen was a rubber dog toy with a pink ribbon. That one got me worried; does my dog need a mammogram? But this year, the marketers have outdone themselves. There is a billboard on Interstate 35W advertising a pink breast cancer awareness garbage can. Picture that large curbside container we roll out once a week colored a pretty pink. Sorry, my blue one gets grungy enough. With the best of intentions, friends

POLITICS

What’s being done for families of veterans? Al Franken’s Guest Commentary,

“Working on behalf of American’s Veterans,” (Oct. 1 edition) tells me the kind of politician he is. He does a lot quoting of Ronald Reagan, I suppose to distance himself from the Democratic party. He claims to be a champion of the veterans. A few years ago the senators gave themselves a cost of living raise, yet the veterans were given nothing. The veterans have not been given a raise for three years. Yes, most of them were boys when they died. I was 21 years and two days old when I was wounded. My friends that died that day were my age. What are you doing for the families of the veterans that died? When I die my wife will only get about half my pension (I am 340 percent disabled). She deserves all of it. Today the families of the veterans

that gave their lives for their country get very little compared to the sacrifice. Why do the senators get so much when they retire and the poor veterans get so little? You help the veterans get [service] dogs, which is great, but how about getting them some money, too. A re you an A merican or just another politician? You voted for Obama Care. There is a provision in this bill to ask the older people how they would like to end their life. If the war didn’t kill you the senators will. Is that the way you take care of the old veterans? Why not ask all the old senators how they would like to end their lives? They would save more money.

STUDENT VIEWS

An inside look at homecoming week Prior Lake High School celebrated homecoming this week, which included a fun schedule of daily events, a spirited football game Friday night and a dazzling homecoming dance scheduled for Saturday night – all combined with students showing off their Laker spirit. The student council takes on the massive task of coordinating the details related to the homecoming events. Each year as the festivities draw near, I get so excited for the week to come, and this year was no different. To get the students pumped up, the first pep fest of the school year introduced all the royalty and the events of spirit week. We started off with the National Anthem, sung by 10th-grader Kate Rupp, then went into the school song performed by the pep band. The pep fest offers a sense of school unity but also unity as a group of students of one nation. During the pep fest, the captains of the fall sports teams gave an update on their team’s performance and encouraged the student body to support all the student athletes. The classic cheer of each class announcing their graduating year was performed. Some may think this is done to embarrass the freshmen, but in reality it’s just a way to express our love for our class. Next, the royalty was introduced. Beginning with

the freshman candidates, the emcee gave clues about the royalty picked for that grade, then moved through the grades to the seniors. We shouted out names until the emcee revealed the winners. This year’s royalty included freshmen Skylar Bantley and Luok Shot; sophomores Sabrina Hille and Jason Faul; juniors Madi Valek, Jack Johnson, Jamie Willer, Rico Taing, Marisa Magnuson, Mikey Peterson, Madison Peterson (princess) and Kyle Sperle (prince); and seniors Nola Johnson (queen), Zach Boegeman (king), Alyssa Eschrich, Sam Kortes, Mary Kate Rvisto, Tay Case, Lindsay Lovik, Chris Sticha, Hanna Frimanslund and Drew Rectenwal. Also during the pep fest, the spirit week events were announced. This year’s spirit week events included: Mustache Day (Monday), Harry Potter Day (Tuesday), Celebrity Day (Wednesday), Neon Day (Thursday) and Laker Spirit Day (Friday). On Spirit Friday, another

pep fest was held to get the students even more psyched for the homecoming game. Seniors performed skits like last year’s dance-off skit by some of the senior guys. Also, Mr. and Mrs. Laker spirit awards were given to those students who showed the most spirited outfit on Laker Spirit day. All of the excitement in this spirit-filled week leads up to some Friday night Laker football! The Prior Lake homecoming football game is a chance for the whole school to express their loyalty for their school as they cheer on the varsity football team. Although rivalries do exist between schools when it comes to the football games, students are mainly there to have fun. Supporting the Lakers and expressing enthusiasm for the team is my main focus in attending. Parents, alumni and kids in the district all come to show their support, but the Prior Lake student section, by far, expressed the most enthusiasm. This year the stands of the student section were shining with colors of the new “Lake” T-shirts that featured “T.G.I.F.” on the back and “The Lake” on the front. My friends and I decorated bandanas with our school colors – blue and gold. Some juniors wore sunglasses with sequins and glitter. The senior fans led the cheers. Some of the seniors even dressed up in swim trucks or sailor outfits to support the Lake. The Laker cheers, some of the best in the business, include imitating

the lake or the wave and the chant, “Let me hear your Laker Spirit.” Following this spirit-filled night was the homecoming dance Saturday night. This event requires the most thought and planning, particularly on the part of the guys. How a guy creatively asks a girl to homecoming is a long-lasting tradition so many people look forward to (mostly the girls!) This year, a boy made a huge sign (written in German) that he hung off the bridge in the school asking a girl to homecoming. Another guy put balloons all over a girl’s car and wrote “homecoming?” on her windshield. Outfits are the other major concern. For me, dress shopping and getting ready on the day of the dance is part of the fun. Finding the perfect dress is always a struggle for me, but it creates excitement at the same time. Even though dressing up isn’t really the guys’ thing, some did get creative by matching their outfits to their date’s dress, rocking suspenders or even wearing vests. The preparation for the dance doesn’t compare to all the fun everyone has at the actual homecoming dance, though. In the end, the massive amount of planning for homecoming week is really worth it when it comes down to all the fun students have. (Leah Preslicka is a sophomore at Prior Lake High School.

Avoid mind traps with training and discipline It was a beautiful day – everything seemed to be in order. My husband Del and I were on our way to Unity Village, Mo., for a music conference. Car trips are fun as they give us the opportunity to have lengthy conversations and listen to music together – things that in our daily routine we don’t often find time to do. I had just poured Del a cup of coffee and as I was replacing the cap on the thermos, it happened. We noticed a car right next to ours and it was moving into our lane. In order to avoid him, we moved over but his car kept coming. Our wheels were now on the left shoulder and we dropped down into the deep median. We were plowing through the grass, probably still going 70 mph. It seemed like time stood still and then I heard Del say, “Hang on!” He made a gradual right turn, our car climbed up out of that deep ditch and we were back on the freeway. We crept across the two lanes and onto the shoulder where the car died. Del got out to search for any visible damage. There was none, just grass sticking out of every available space. I was sitting inside the car in disbelief, noticing that there was coffee everywhere. But who cares? I thought. We were grateful to be alive. We gave the car a short rest and it started on the next try. We were on our way again, everything running just fine. That night, I hardly slept. I would pray, fall asleep and wake up. Over and over again this happened. My mind was focused on all of the “what ifs” and what could have happened. A roll-over, striking an unseen obstruction, a crash on climb-out – so many possibilities! I was in a prison of my own mind! It was a wise person who once said that we don’t use our minds, our minds use us, and for me that night, that was true. You may be wondering why I’m going on about this. We

Audrey

PETERSON SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS

have all experienced scary situations and this one, in contrast to some of yours, may seem like little or nothing. But I tell you because there may be something in my experience that may help you when your mind traps you as mine did. The mind is tricky. It operates under the level of our conscious awareness and we can so easily get caught in its grip. We even think there is nothing we can do about it, but that’s not true. There is something. It is called discipline and it’s a lot like training a puppy. It takes me back to the days, about seven years ago, when we were housebreaking our little dog, Molly. We kept taking her outside, showing her a different reality until she finally realized how much more fun it was to use the grass rather than my slippers. Well, our minds are like that, too. We will be amazed at the joy, the peace, and the ideas that come when we keep putting our minds on the spot. We need to keep them focused on what we want and not let them stray to what we don’t want. Anytime that puppymind starts heading toward those “slippers,” we need to pick it up and take it back to where it needs to be. The day after the near accident, with little sleep the night before, I couldn’t focus on anything. I had come to be part of a conference, thought, and I wanted to be present, to learn and to gather ideas. I needed to pray. I knew that praying would be the most powerful thing I could do.

The guidance that came was: accept what is, surrender and let go. Walk the labyrinth and be open to receive. If you have ever walked a labyrinth, you know it is a moving prayer walked on a maze or path that takes about 45 minutes. It is sacred and introspective. On this particular evening as I walked, a song came to me, “I release and I let go. I let Spirit run my life. My heart is open wide. I’m only here for God.” By the time I reached the center of the labyrinth, I knew my mind was clear and I was free. I fairly danced on the way out. That night I slept like a baby and the music conference turned out to be the best I had ever attended. Since every experience is a lesson, what did I learn from this one? First, a quote from Bob Savino comes to mind, “Every day you and I are summoned to embark on a journey beyond the boundaries of all we have ever known. All we need do is relinquish our fears, open our hearts and begin.” nd we always begin with what is going on in our minds for it is our thoughts that create our lives. I was reminded that God is all-loving and available 24/7. God is the force that constantly guides, helps us overcome any difficulty, and can also help us achieve great success. And when things happen, God can always be depended upon. This is a force whose truth will literally set us free! There is no power on earth that can cut us off from God’s truth, love, peace, joy and blessing – except our own minds! We are never really disconnected or cut off, but in our minds we think we are. Let’s not let our minds use us but let’s use and discipline our minds. (Rev. Audrey Peterson is a pastor at Unity of the Valley Spiritual Center in Savage. She is one of several area pastors who write for “Spiritual Reflections,” a weekly column appearing in this newspaper.)

When Dave Huizenga talks about love, he does so with the conviction of a flock of geese that has returned home in the spring expecting to find most of the snow gone. Geese make the trip based on instinct. Huizenga speaks out of deeply held religious assurance. Both geese and Huizenga arrive at their destination ready to establish their grounds for living. What that means for Huizenga is Christianity. He believes in Christianity and became an ordained minister 24 years ago. Est ablishi ng g rou nds for living meant beginning churches in South Chicago and Colorado Springs before serving for the past 14 years at a large, established church in Grand Rapids, Mich. Huizenga described his mission in life as “to grow God’s kingdom.” In that, he is excited to be in the Twin Cities as the new pastor at Bridgewood Church in Savage. Living temporarily in a Chaska hotel with his wife and 16-year-old daughter, Eri ka, who at tends Sout hwest Christian High School in Chaska, Huizenga says his new congregation at Bridgewood is composed of just the right kind of people, and there’s room to grow. “They are not about themselves,” he said. “This is a Kingdom-advancing church. Everything they do is outward. They are very giving people. G od has put an i ncredible group of people here.” Some of the most noticeable outreach activities sponsored by Bridgewood are its community garden and food shelf. Using the terms serving and

OURSCHOOLS PRIOR LAKE-SAVAGE AREA SCHOOLS

A SCHOLARLY SURPRISE

Embracing technology: Meeting students where they’re at Social media is here to stay. Just a few years ago we wondered what it was. Now we are inundated with new computer applications that are changing our thinking about technology in the classroom and we’re looking at school policies in new ways. For the first time, Prior Lake High School is loosening its restrictions on smart phone usage because we know there are educational opportunities that link the technology students can use to maximize their learning. From instant polling that gives teachers information they need to evaluate student understanding of a certain topic, to using smart phones as a research tool, there are endless possibilities to be explored. Of course, not all students have smar t phones, which is why the district’s SMART Boards also provide interactive response clickers that look similar to your TV remote. At this time, the clickers are being used at the elementary level and have been popular with students and teachers. Quoting Glendale principal, Sam Richardson, “We don’t want students to power down when they come to school.” Innovation continues to be a focus of our schools in 2011-2012. An E-STEM (Environmental, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and World Language Immersion study committee has just begun its

research and will eventually make a recommendation to the school board. In recent surveys we have learned that families are interested in both of these opportunities for their young children. The use of technology in either or both of these initiatives will be fundamental to the program as students engage in multiple content in greater depths and study real-world applications. We know that students learn in different ways. Our special education teachers are piloting the use of iPads with some of the student groups this year. iPads are helping students learn and connect with their non-disabled peers, improve fine motor skills, handle and read books, express their ideas in new ways and much more. Districtwide, we recently launched a new YouTube channel with a marketing video that highlights the strengths of our

E-12 schools. Go to our web site (www.priorlake-savage.k12. mn.us) and look for the You Tube icon to watch the video. We will be posting new videos soon to help tell our unique Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools story. To date, our YouTube channel has had more than 500 views in just over one month! We also plan to use social media as another way for our community to stay connected with our schools and to provide feedback. That is why we created a Facebook page and Twitter account, both of which can be accessed from the district’s home page. Teachers also now have the option of using social media in the classroom for educational purposes. These are just a few of the examples of how teaching and learning continue to change as we meet students where they are academically and help them gain new learning to enhance their success. Tell me what technology you would like to see used in our classrooms. Visit my blog at http://intouchwithdrgruver.blogspot.com. I’d love to hear from you.

Robotics becomes Minnesota State High School League activity BY LORI CARLSON editor@plamerican.com

Robotics will be celebrated on par with other sports activities in Minnesota. The Minnesota State High School League has partnered with Prior Lake’s KING TeC robotics club to support and recognize FIRST robotics competitions. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded by inventor Dean Kamen in 1989. Prior Lake robotics team members were featured with Kamen – who invented the Seg way among other devices – in a photo spread for Popular Mechanics magazine in 2009. With the partnership of FIRST and the State High School League, a state tournament will be held in late spring, aside from the yearly F I RST regional competitions. “ T hi s recog nition of science and technology in schools was made possible by the rapid growth of FIRST teams in the state, going from two teams in 2006, to 131 in 2011,” said Joe Pas-

They sit empty now, but just wait … not for the snow, silly. This weekend, the Highland Ski and Snowboard Area will open one of its chairlifts and a look at the leaves is just a part of it.

Clouds-eye view, almost anyway Three Rivers offers fall perspective from a chairlift BY DANIEL HUSS dhuss@swpub.com

E

ver see a guy wade deep into the ocean just to get a better picture of a sunset? The Three Rivers Park District can do better than that. This weekend, they’re giving fall chairlift rides. Those that want a clouds-eye view of autumn can get one. If you just want to ride a chairlift to one of the highest points in the metro area, you can do that too. “We’ve been doing this for 18 years,” said Fred Seymour, Three Rivers Park District senior manager of alpine services. “We used to call the event Fall Color Chairlift Rides. Now we just call it Fall Chairlift rides.” What happened to the color? “We used to start at noon and no

one would show up until later in the evening,” he said. Now, they show up late and stay late. As such, the event, held over two days, has morphed into something bigger than chairlift rides. “We bring raptors out from the Nature Center,” said Seymour, “We play games, we sit around the campfire, and we make s’mores.” Hot dogs and burgers are also available, as is access to telescopes to look at the stars. There’s also a lantern-lit to trail to walk. Heck, there’s even going to be a band, Pig’s Eye Landing. Typically, the event attracts 2,000 to 2,500 (roughly 1,000 per day). “It’s a mix,” adds Seymour. “Half the people are coming back, half the people are new.” It goes without saying that some of the people are new to riding chairlifts.

Fall Chairlift Rides Location: Hyland Ski and Snowboard Area, Bloomington Date: Saturday, Oct. 8 (4-9 p.m.) Cost: $5/person – group rates available for groups of 4 or more. Children younger than 2 are free. Participants must sign a waiver available on the website at threeriversparkdistrict.org or at the event.

“Envision a slow ride at Valleyfair,” said Seymour. That’s the ride up the hill, what about getting back down? “A lot of the kids just roll down the hill,” laughs Seymour.

Raising awareness about breast cancer October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and southwestarea readers were asked to share their stories of hope and support. The best of those submissions are printed here. Although breast cancer death rates have been going down – probably as a result of early detection and better treatment, according to the American Cancer Society – breast cancer is still the second leading cause of cancer death in women, behind only lung cancer. The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer sometime during her life is a little less than 1 in 8, the Cancer Society estimates. Right now there are more than 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. If you would like to know more about the disease, consult www.cancer.org.

allowed them to send my tumor in for testing, OncoType DX. Monthly checks and early detection made the difference in my outcome. I am now actively working for the American Cancer Society and the Susan G. Komen foundation, to raise money for research. Join me for “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, a 3-mile walk at Lake Nokomis.

The bravest person you could ever meet

Love, support helped in fight for her life Five years and a few dozen days ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Those words were shocking and for a moment, I considered my life being over, but just as fast as the thought came, it was gone. I went into fight mode, the most aggressive fight of my nonconfrontational life. I won’t lie, it was hard and it was painful and there were times when I didn’t know how I would make it through the next treatment or surgery, but it was also one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I realized how strong I really am, how much I am loved and my relationship with God. And those are all incredible and enough. But another amazing and unexpected experience was the group of amazing women I met. We call ourselves creatively, Pink Ribbon Sisters. We were all considered young in breast cancer terms, had tried other types of support, and were all searching for a group that we felt could r el at e to ou r u n ique ne e d s. One by one, through a friend of a friend, we formed a group and met once a month, usually with a bottle of wine and lots of snacks. Yes, we talked about our cancer journey, but along the way, we formed an amazing bond of friendship and five years later, we still get together as often as possible and hardly talk about cancer. When I look way into the future, I see a group of beautiful women who once survived cancer, but still get together, talk about life, love and friendship, drink some wine and have lots of snacks.

It was a beautiful day in May when I was on my way to work and said to myself, “Life is good.” I had dealt with some medical issues the last five years and had fi nally recovered. But, on July 14, 2010, my life turned upside down and changed forever. I had breast cancer. I remember clearly thinking that I had spoken too soon and God had another plan for me. My faith kept me in check, but in my private moments I couldn’t help but wonder if I’d be OK. After having surgery and meeting with my oncologist, I learned that chemotherapy would be my best option of the cancer not returning. Chemo was rough on me, but as I lay in bed sick, I prayed that something good would come of this. I fi nished chemo at the end of November and radiation at the end of January 2011. The cancer did change my life, and something good did come. I am a much stronger person than I ever was before and I have gained an unbelievable amount of trust in myself and my creator. You can’t change circumstances, but you can change your attitude.

Our daughter, Diane’s 44th birthday was last week. However, breast cancer took her life Feb. 27, 2010. Diane was the bravest person you could ever meet. We b e l i e ve G o d g av e h e r extra faith and courage to cont i nu e t o c a r e for her husband and three teenage sons for the four years she struggled with her disease and the treatment of it. She lived long Diane enough to fulfi ll Hutchins her dream of seeing her oldest son enter college and pursue the love of music that they shared. Breast cancer robbed our daughter of the joys of seeing her children grow up, have their own families, and becoming a grandmother. Our daughter’s only goal in life was to be a loving mother. She had no interest in working outside the home; just taking kids back and forth to school and encouraging them to excel academically and participate in activities. Now, her sons are trying to adjust to meeting the goals, jointly created with their mother, without her daily encouragement. We pray for the families that have gone through this same suffering and grief. Until the cure for breast cancer is found parents will continue to face the sadness of outliving our children.

Staying positive keeps Mom close

I had always gone in for my yearly mammogram. Two years ago, the radiologist recommended that I have an MRI due to my family history and the density, making it hard to see everything on a mammogram. I was in for a lump (cyst) in my right breast one month later. Everything was fi ne; it was a cyst. Six months later, I discovered another lump. That same day, they did an MRI. I received a phone call from my doctor indicating that there was a suspicious mass in my right breast. They recommended an MRI biopsy. At 2 :30 p.m. the following day, I received the phone call letting me know that I had breast cancer. While this was not the news I wanted to receive, I felt blessed with the support of family and friends. They feel it was caught early, and I met with the surgeon right away. We decided on a lumpectomy and 33 treatments of radiation. We are blessed to have the technology that we do today. It

Big Al wears a pink bracelet. Not the typical accessory that adorns the wrist of a man’s man. Similar to the countless rubber bands on the market today, his is embossed in big burgundy letters with the name of my memoir, Beyond the Pink Moon. I had them made as a party favor for a breast cancer luncheon and book signing last October. I didn’t notice when Big Al slipped his on until one evening at the dinner table when I glanced over and saw it overlapping the yellow Lance Armstrong bracelet he has worn for years. You see, Big Al is not a fad kind of guy. Much like the wedding band he has never taken off since I placed it on his finger 26 years ago, when he chooses to wear something it holds great meaning for him. Long after everyone, including me, removed their Beyond the Pink Moon bands, Big Al’s remains steadfast on his wrist. When I asked him one day why on earth he was still

I lost my mom to breast cancer two and a half years ago. Some days, it feels like just yesterday. There was (and is) so much more I wanted to share with her: My wedding day, cherry tomatoes from my garden, the birth of my fi rst child. I found myself holding my breath and feeling the ache in my heart. I had to make a conscious decision: Do I feel sad about tomorrow and mad about yesterday? Or do I live life in the present and pay attention to the good things happening right now? I chose to be positive. I chose to live in the present. That does not mean I don’t miss my mom; there will never be a day when I don’t miss her. But with this attitude, I don’t have a chance to dwell on the things that could’ve been, and that is something I will never regret. Sometimes, when I’m having a hard time staying positive, I pay more attention to my surroundings – the birds, the blooming flowers, the cool breeze – and I put my face to the sun and feel the warmth of my mom’s love shining down from Heaven, and then it feels like she never really left at all.

Burdens lifted by others’ TLC In February 2005, I discovered a small, hard lump on my breast. I am a true procrastinator, why my husband compensates for by being diligent on my behalf. For this I am usually annoyed, but ultimately grateful. Within two weeks of discover, I was biopsied for cancer. I received my results – positive – and scheduled for a mastectomy. I should have been terrified, but I believe shock and denial numbs some of the fear in a manner that allows us the ability to process an overwhelming amount of feelings and life-altering events such as chemotherapy, hair loss, reconstructive surgery, etc. What I discovered in the pro-

cess, which I wasn’t expecting, was that all of those burdens could be lifted off me by the tender loving care I received from others. It’s what helps survivors to survive for however long we’re intended to, with renewed strength, stronger faith and restored appreciation for others and life itself. It also creates a desire to pay it forward, to become kinder and empathetic toward others. Everyone can make a difference, no matter how big or small. We all have something to offer one another. Never underestimate the power of giving.

Vicky Gaughran Prior Lake

Five years ago, the Shakopee Valley News published a story about Jan Aument, who was undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. Aument’s son, then 11, and his friends surprised her by shaving their heads “so I wouldn’t have to be alone and feel sad anymore.” Aument, who has been released from her oncologist’s care and said “life is good,” gathered the boys for another photo. They are, in both photos, from left: Tanner Graff, Jan Aument, Alec Aument and Curtis Sager.

I unfortunately lost my mother to breast cancer 17 years ago. She was an incredible wife, mother, sister and daughter. Back 17 years ago, the knowledge and awareness was not as available as it is today, unfortunately. My mother, Patricia Anne Curielli, knew that she had a lump and was too scared and worried to have it checked out. She had five children, and my father traveled extensively, so she did not have it checked out for 18 months. When it was found, they immediately had her into surgery to have a double mastectomy. Amazingly, it had already metastasized into her bones, unbeknownst to us. She was such a fighter that she had about four good years with us. There were ups and downs along the way, but the journey was such a good fight. My parents moved to Prior Lake when I was 19. My mother asked my father, John, to move to the lake. We had been a Burnsville family growing up. My father said to my mother, “Pat, this house is almost paid off, really? You want to move to the lake?” Of course my father agreed, and they moved into the Harbor in 1994 where I lived for two years before I was married. I thank my mother for

bringing us to Prior Lake for many reasons. We have loved the people, the lake and St. Michael’s School, where our children go. There is not a day that goes by that I do not miss my mother, Patricia. But, I am so happy to have the memories and the vision she had for our family to be here in Prior Lake.

An even worse diagnosis than my own for cancer Sept. 24, 2010 changed my life and the lives of my family and friends forever. To me, the word CANCER always meant a death sentence because Mother passed away years ago from breast cancer. The good news was treatment had improved immensely so I started to look at this as just another illness that needed to be treated! The hardest part was telling my kids as my dad, their grandfather, had just passed away the month before. The preliminary diagnosis for me was a biopsy; at that time I was told it was cancer. The lab results would be in on Monday. My husband Gary and I agreed to wait until Monday to tell the kids, hoping that the preliminary result would be wrong. My daughter, the strong, takecontrol young lady she is, was making plans on how we should proceed with this. My son was more emotional and all he could say was, “I love you and you will get through this.” Eight months after I was diagnosed with breast cancer my 27-year-old daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer. Anyone who is a mother knows this news is much harder than your own diagnosis.

Grateful to be here In December 2009, I turned 40 years old. I decided not to have a birthday party, as that spring I would be finishing my master’s degree and I thought a graduation party would be the ultimate payoff. In January 2010, I went in for a routine physical, at which time a lump was found in my right breast. I was overwhelmed, scared and fearful I wouldn’t see my children grow up. On March 3, 2010, I had a mastectomy; from May through August I did chemotherapy; September, I had reconstructive surgery; and just last May I had a hysterectomy. I have three children and a wonderful husband, but all I could think of was that my life was over. “Why me?” went through my head over and over. Now I am 21 months cancer-free, and my world seems to have fi nally gotten back to normal. I never did get my graduation party, which is an example that life is short, so take advantage of every day. People always say that, but do they live that motto? I do! I am so lucky to be able to tell my story, and I am thankful for every day.

Support has warmed this daughter’s heart Nearly every person you encounter has a story about breast cancer. With three generations of breast cancer, my family is no exception. With my grandmother diagnosed at age 41, mother diagnosed at age 57 and my diagnosis at age 27, we are not short on personal stories. Unless you’ve gone through it yourself, you will never know how each day living with cancer feels. Those closest to me — my boyfriend, mom and dad — were my primary support. They were the ones I would allow to listen to my cries when the glass was half-empty and the ones who made me realize how lucky I am and made that glass feel full again. Not only was my family affected by my diagnosis, but friends and coworkers were too. People from every touch-point in my life were concerned with my well-being, continually telling me and my parents that I was top of mind in their prayers, thinking positively and always asking what they could do to help. The health care professionals have also made a personal investment in my

was growing, I fi nally decided to see my doctor. Within days, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and was beginning a journey that changed my life forever. Early detection saved my life! Even though I had eight chemo treatments, six surgeries and 35 days of radiation, I had a positive experience with breast cancer. From the very beginning, I felt that God wanted me to educate others about what cancer can and cannot do to a family. Having breast cancer has given me many, many opportunities to help other women who are traveling on their journey. One way I do that is with a breast cancer ministry at the Church of St. Michael, called the Pink Prayer Warriors. Our ministry will help in any way we can to support the “warrior” during treatment, whether it’s rides to doctor appointments or sending them an encouraging card. We stay in touch with them all the way through their journey. But most of all, we offer prayers. I strive each day to be a positive role model for those who have been touched by cancer.

CITY OF SAVAGE

TOO MANY VICTIMS

Post office purchase back on the table BY AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com

The Savage City Council met in closed session Monday night to again discuss the purchase of the Savage Post Office site located in the center of the city hall campus on McColl Drive. The discussion only lasted about five minutes, according to City Administrator Barry Stock, and no action was taken by the city council. “The city is continuing to pursue the potential purchase of the post office,” said Stock. “We hope to fi nd closure to the matter one way or another before the end of the year.” Stock was tight-lipped about if or when an offer might be made on the property. USPS spokesperson Pete Nowacki said on Tuesday that

Organizers of the one-mile walk hoped to draw attention to the many women, children and men who have lost their lives due to domestic violence. A T-shirt in honor of Ruth Anne (Lipka) Maddox (above) was among those of women and children featured in the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women’s 2008 Clothesline Project, which was displayed at this year’s walk.

tate adviser who facilitated the group. “I don’t feel that’s been done enough.” A robust public-private fiber ring circles the county, but “a lot of businesses don’t know about it,” she said. “When you see Car ver County getting press in the Star Tribune, you are already in the implementation phase.” Local leaders were encouraged to capitalize on the county’s strengths, which include a skilled, educated work force; open land along major transportation corridors and the availability of rail, airports and the ports of Savage. “We don’t a good job of selling ourselves,” agreed Savage Mayor Janet Williams. Sh a kop e e M ayor Joh n Schmitt said he’d put the county’s work force up against any in the country. “How many strikes do we have out here? We have a farm-based work force that speaks well for us.” But the county also needs to work on its weaknesses: the perception of being “south of the river” with f looding closures, limited influence on metropolitan planning, limited higher education options, the lack of large corporate

headquarters and underutilization of entertainment venues (among others). Since each town benefits from nearby jobs, the goal of the group is for communities in the county to market their available land together, with one source for brokers to come to when they’re seeking information. When he meets with a company interested in coming to Savage, Stock said he knows what his council will support. “I could yes, without a doubt, say this is what’s going to happen.” Others in the room couldn’t say as much for their councils. There needs to be a collective consensus and commitment on economic development strategies and the money it may take – whether that be incentives or putting in roads and utilities necessary so land is developable, said attendees at the SCALE meeting. “It all sounds great on paper – we all nod our heads and say yes, this is what we want,” said Stock. “But when a project comes in adjacent to maybe a neighborhood that opposes it, we have to stand up as leaders and make the tough decision.

LAST YEAR’S AGREEMENT The city had a tentative agreement with the post office last summer to purchase the property for $780,000, but negotiations were terminated at the end of August. “The post office wasn’t sure how much square footage they needed,” said Stock. In April of this year, the USPS approached the city of Savage again about buying the post office, and discussions have ensued since then. “The city has two primary objectives in even considering this,” said Stock. “One is to retain the post office in the city hall campus as long as possible, and two is to maintain the integrity of the building.”

post office officials were unaware of the city council’s closed session, but that they have been in discussions with the city about possible scenarios. Stock said one of the scenarios for the 11,000-plus squarefoot building could include a five-year lease-back agreement with the post office for about 2,800 square feet of space and a loading dock. The remaining space could be leased to another tenant, but Stock said any agreement m ade wit h t he p ost of f ic e would be made with “enough rent generated from the lease to cover the space of the whole bui ldi ng i f we did n’t have another tenant.

No stopping Kaiser PL senior back goes for school-record 303 yards in 30-13 victory BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

MORE ONLINE

Lexis who? It was the Jack Kaiser show Sept. 30. The senior back rushed for a school-record 303 yards on 24 carries and scored three touchdowns to lead the Prior Lake football team to a 30-13 South Suburban Conference win at Bloomington Kennedy. Prior Lake improved to 3-2 overall, 3-1 in the conference with its second straight win. It was Kaiser’s third 100-yard game of the season. Through five games, he has 665 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. “Jack ran well and showed how dangerous he can be,” said Lakers coach Matt Gegenheimer. “The time he put in this offseason to improve his strength has paid off. Not only can he be elusive, but his strength and speed has improved.” Gegenheimer also credited the Lakers’ offensive line – seniors Nick Brant and Marcus Babcock, juniors Cody Kohut and Ryan Landherr and sophomore Drew Trabing.

“When you rush for that many yards as a team, you have to give credit to our offensive line,” said Gegenheimer. “These guys are really starting to gel together as a group. Our perimeter blocking with (senior) Matt Arends and (junior) Nick Hart really helped Jack on his long runs.” Meanwhile, Kennedy senior Lexis Jones went into the game with more of the hype than Kaiser, coming off a 278-yard, two-touchdown effort in the Eagles’ 31-24 win over Eastview Sept. 23. Jones had 194 yards against the Lakers last year in a 21-19 playoff win. This time, the Lakers held Jones in check. He scored on a 25-yard run to give Kennedy a 6-0 lead in the fi rst quarter. But he fi nished with just 87 yards.

“We knew of Jones’ big-play capability and our kids did a good job containing him and getting two or three guys to him before he could get going,” said Gegenheimer. “Our defensive guys put a lot of extra time in with fi lm and prep work, so they come into games very prepared and then just have to execute. “Kennedy has some athletes and we knew we would have to play well to beat them,” added Gegenheimer. The Lakers exploded for 23 points in the second quarter to lead 23-6 at the half. Kaiser had scoring runs of 39, 51 and 59 yards, while junior Eric Tusa connected on a 25-yard field goal. Prior Lake made it 30-6 in the third quarter on junior Jack Johnson’s 5-yard scoring run. Johnson fi nished with 48 yards, while junior Trevor Maxwell also had 48. The Lakers rolled up 502 yards in total offense, 437 on the ground. The only negative was a pair of fumbles lost, although Kennedy lost three.

Blaze snaps winless skid, eyes playoffs

No. 4 Blaze poised to make a run

Mauricio Mendoza made sure the Burnsville boys soccer team’s winless streak ended at six games. T he senior mid f ielder scored two goals in the second half to help the Blaze earn a big 2-1 win at Lakeville North in a South Suburban Conference game Oct. 4. The Blaze desperately needed the win to have any shot at hosting a quarterfinal game in the Section 3AA tournament, which starts Tuesday, Oct. 11. If Burnsville was able to win its regular season fi nale at home versus Apple Valley Thursday (results not available at press time), the Blaze would have a really strong argument for a topfour seed. T he two -top seeds are pretty locked in. Top-ranked Eastview (14-0-1) and No. 8 Eagan (10-3-2) will be one and two, respectively. Apple Valley (10 -4-1) is line for the No. 3 seed and would probably clinch beating the Blaze (6-5-4). Henry Sibley (10-3) is also in the mix to be as high as No. 3. Park of Cottage Grove (6-6-2), Rosemount (3-9-2) and Hastings (1-14) are also in the field. The section seeds come out Sunday, Oct. 9 and can be found at www.mshsl.org. Burnsville defi nitely has a strength of schedule advantage over Henry Sibley. The Blaze has played eight ranked or previously teams this fall, including five straight games when it faced Eastview, No. 10 Eden Prairie, No. 4 Edina, Eagan and No. 6 Bloomington Jefferson. The Blaze went 0-4-1 in those five games (tying Eastview 1-1). Meanwhile, Henry Sibley faced No. 2 North St. Paul in its fi nal game Thursday, so a win there might clinch a top-three seed for the Warriors. Burnsville is 4-3-1 in conference play, which has it tied for fourth place with Eagan, Lakeville North and Apple Valley. That is why the Apple Valley game is so vital for the Blaze’s seed.

The Prior Lake girls cross country team got to measure itself with some of the top programs in the state Oct. 4 at the Victoria Lion’s Invitational. The Lakers have been a top program for nearly a decade (eight straight state appearances from 2003-2010), but they went into this meet not being ranked for the fi rst time since Oct. 21, 2008. The Lakers just may get back into the poll after taking sixth out of 24 teams with 160 points. Second-ranked Lakeville South won the title with 110 points, three better than No. 10 Shakopee (113). Fifth-ranked Wayzata was third (124), followed by No. 3 Eden Prairie (146) and No. 7 Edina (158). No. 12 Chanhassen was seventh (219). Senior Taylor Schol l re turned to action for the Lakers after missing the last two meets to rest. She had a strong racing, fi nishing fi fth overall with a time of 15 minutes, .5 seconds

Suburban Conference Championships Friday, Oct. 14 in Eagan. The host Wildcats, ranked No. 4, and Lakeville South are the two teams to beat. Meanwhile, Prior Lake went into the Victoria Lion’s on the heels of winning its own invite Sept. 29. There were only five teams competing only two had full squads, so it became a dual competition with Stillwater. The Lakers ended up winning with 26 points, 10 better than the Ponies.

Don’t sleep on the Burnsville boys cross country team. The Blaze is known for its late-season pushes and that seems to have started a little early at the Victoria Lion’s Invitational in Chaska Oct. 4. Unranked Burnsville outran three highly ranked teams to fi nish second in the loaded 24-team field with 110 points. Top-seeded Stillwater won the crown with 82 points. Third-ranked Wayzata was third (114), followed by No. 5 Eden Prairie and No. 4 Edina (119 each) and Minnetonka (190). Burnsville has qualified for the Class AA state meet the last three years, fi nishing fourth last season, third in 2009 and 15th in 2008. The Blaze is in a section (3AA) with two ranked teams (No. 2 Rosemount and No. 9 Eastview), so returning for a fourth straight year won’t be easy.

The Burnsville girls soccer team nearly handed the state’s No. 1-ranked team its fi rst loss Oct. 4. The Blaze played at Lakeville North looking to win its fourth straight game, but fell in overtime to the Panthers 2-1. T he lo s s sn app e d t he Bl a z e’s s t r e a k o f t h r e e straight shutout wins and it also clinched the league title for Lakeville North. Burnsville (11-4 overall) fell to 5-3 in league play with one game left before the Section 2AA playoffs start. The Blaze went into the Lakeville North game on the heels of a 2-0 home win over Edina Sept. 29. The Blaze closed out the regular season Thursday (results not available at press time) at home versus Apple Valley. The Blaze is still in the hunt for the No. 1 seed in the section along with No. 10 Eden Prairie. Would a Blaze win over Apple Valley be enough to secure the top spot? Eden Prairie lost 1-0 at home to Minnetonka Oct. 4, fi nishing the regular season with an 8-3-4 mark. Edina (6-3-5) looks a like a strong bet for the No. 3 seed, while Shakopee (8-4-3) and Prior Lake (7-7-1) are likely batting for the No. 4 seed and a home game in the quarterfi nals. Other teams in the field are: Bloomington Jefferson (5-8-2), Chanhassen (7-6-1) and Bloomington Kennedy (3-9-1). Seeds come out Sunday, Oct 9 and can be found at www.mshsl.org. Quarterfi nal play starts Thursday, Oct. 13 with the higher seed playing at home. Against Lakeville North, senior Bailly Drayton scored the Blaze’s lone goal with senior Anna Schulz getting the assist. Junior Meghann Rudolph and ninth-grader Darby Lofthus split the goalie duties. Rudolph played the overtime and had two saves.

Girls tennis: Blaze falls in the playoffs The Burnsville girls tennis team couldn’t get out of the fi rst round of the Section 3AA playoffs Oct. 4. The 10th-seeded Blaze saw the team portion of its season come to an end with a 6-1 loss at seventh-seeded South St. Paul. The Blaze fi nished with a 4-8 overall record, 2-7 in the South Suburban Conference. The Blaze lost its last six matches after it started the season with a 4-2 mark. South St. Paul beat the Blaze during the regular season 5-2. Senior Josie Montgomery and junior Jessica Nagel had the Blaze’s victory in the playoff loss. They won at No. 3 doubles 6-2, 6-3. Burnsville will now turn its attention to the Section 3AA individual tournament, which starts Oct. 14. Pairings come out Oct. 10. The Blaze likely won’t have any high seeded singles players or doubles teams in the tourney.

Volleyball: Ranked foe sweeps Blaze Another highly ranked team faced equaled another loss for the Burnsville volleyball team. The Blaze played at No. 2-ranked Lakeville North in a South Suburban Conference match Oct. 4 and were swept by the Class 3A defending state champion Panthers (25-18, 25-15, 2523). The Blaze (6 -9 overall) dropped to 1-5 in the conference with three more league games to go. And none of those are against ranked teams, so perhaps the Blaze can get a late-season run going and build some momentum heading into the Section 3AAA tournament. The Blaze played host to Apple Valley in a league game Thursday (results not available at press time). Bu r nsvi l le’s f ina l two con ference games are at Rosemount (Oct. 11) and home to Prior Lake (Oct. 18) to close out the regular season. The Blaze also has a nonconference match at CretinDerham Hall Oct. 17. Meanwhile, Burnsville is also hosting its own invite, which began Friday and ends today (Saturday, Oct. 8). Ranked teams in the field include No. 9 Chanhassen and Caledonia (No. 9 in Class 2A). In the loss to Lakeville North, which dropped the Blaze to 1-6 against ranked competition, senior A l li Butler and sophomore Lauren Randal l each had 10 kills, while sophomore Alyssa Muelken had five and ju nior Ni k ki Broli n had four. Sophomore Kaycie Hagen fi nished with 16 set assists, while Butler had 13. Muelken led in ace serves and blocks with two apiece. Senior Camille Benson and sophomore Greta Geist each had eight digs.

Raceway Park concludes its 55th season

There’s no doubt the Burnsville football team has made strides in five weeks under fi rst-year coach Tyler Krebs. Now, it’s just a matter of finding a way to win a close game. The Blaze gave No. 5-ranked Lakeville North all it could handle Sept. 30, before falling 17-14 in the South Suburban Conference road affair. Krebs said his team is not into moral victories. Despite the team’s 1-4 mark – in which three losses are by a combined eight points – he expects his inexperienced team to be a factor in the Section 3AAAAA playoffs. “We are close to being pretty good,” said Krebs. “But close doesn’t get you wins. We went toe-to-toe with a good Lakeville team. We just didn’t make enough plays. They made a few more.” Burnsville doesn’t have a lot of depth. The Blaze is relying a lot on two-way players due to its inexperience. Seniors Dan Motl (quarterback/cornerback), Mike Callanan (running back/safety), Evan Voxland (fullback/linebacker) and Chase Roullier (offensive/defensive line) and sophomore Will Reger (receiver/cornerback) are all getting a lot of time on both sides of the ball. But these are five of the Blaze’s top players and Krebs said he’s putting his best 22 on the field at all time. “We are trying to gear towards wining a section championship,” said Krebs. “We need our best players on the field.” Lakeville North (5-0) jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the fi rst quarter before the Blaze battled back, using turnovers to get into good field position. Burnsville picked off two passes and recovered a fumble in the second quarter. That helped set up of two scores. Callanan scored the Blaze’s first touchdown on a 16-yard run. Shortly after, Motl scored

Other runners who competed were: Bruha in eighth (16:43), sophomore Amber Tieman in 10th (17:20), junior Makenzie Lamphere in 14th (17:26), junior Alexi Morrison in 15th (17:32) and junior Emily Stock in 18th (17:43).

Scotty Westphal won the Shakopee Grocery Cart Race Challenge with a lucky kid in the cart at the fi nish line. The other events of the day included two-car chain races, a school bus race and the Purple and Green Auto Ball Bash. After being defeated 21-14 in the last two bashes, the Green Team fi nally got a win when Barta and his team pushed the completely crumpled football car into the front straight end zone three times.

Burnsville senior Evan Voxland (45) fights for yards in the Blaze’s 17-14 loss at Lakeville North Sept. 30. from 11 yards out to give the Blaze a 14-10 lead. Lakeville North went ahead again on a 32-yard scoring strike right before halftime to take a three-point lead into the break. And that’s where the scored stayed in a defensive second half. Lakeville North was able to overcome four turnovers and six sacks to win. “We had a good f lurry on offense there in the second quarter,” said Krebs. “We really put a lot of pressure on their quarterback.” Motl fi nished 3 for 7 passing for 43 yards. Sophomore Ben Sherman had two catches for 17 yards, while senior Jalen Dyson caught one ball for 26 yards. Senior Justin Kunzar had 42 yards on the ground on five carries, while Voxland had 32 yards on eight carries. Motl also booted both extra

points and had five punts, averaging 30.2 yards. He’s on the field that much. “We need to fi nd more guys like him,” said Krebs. “He’s a special athlete. We need to score more points, so we need the ball in his hands. “Brian is our second-fastest player and we need him on the field as much as possible too,” added Krebs. Burnsville was back on the field Friday at home (results not available at press time) against Eastview (2-3). Krebs was a long-time assistant coach for the Lightning, including being the defensive coordinator. He was with the school since its inception in 1997.

Stay above the water PL earns fourth SSC win as it pushes through midway point BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

The midway point of the swi m mi ng season ca n be grind, so the Prior Lake girls are doing their best to push through. “The girls have been working hard and we are at that point of the season where they start to feel a little tired in the water,” said Lakers coach Katie Haycraft. “We just keep pushing them through that. We will be starting to really work the girls harder as we get into the heart of our season.” Eighth-ranked Prior Lake had enough energy and depth to improve to 4-1 in South Suburban Conference duals with an 86-79 win at Burnsville Sept. 29. Competing without junior Alex Yaeger, their three-time state entrant, the Lakers won five events and had multiple runner-up fi nishes. “Burnsville has a pretty small team this year, so I put the girls in some events that some of them haven’t swum yet this year or haven’t done for a while,” said Haycraft. “It’s nice to do that because sometimes we can find some hidden talent in some of these girls in different events.” Prior Lake took the top two spots in the 2 0 0 -yard freestyle relay. The team of sophomores Elizabeth Cunningham, Kendra Lair and Monica Banasikowski and junior Erin Swenson had a winning time of 1 minute, 46.65 seconds. The runner-up team included junior Brook Anderson,

Some waves made Blaze wins six events in loss BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

The Burnsville girls swimming team continues to win its share of events in South Suburban Conference dual meets. But the lack of depth has the team winless through five league duals. Burnsville (1-5 overall in duals) won six of 11 events in its home meet with eighthranked Prior Lake Sept. 29, but lost 86-79. Junior Anna Elling and eighth-grader Angela Le each won twice for the Blaze and were part of two winning relays. Elling won the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2 minutes, 13.32 seconds and the 100 butterfly (59.82). L e won t he 5 0 0 f reest yle (5:21.74) and 100 breaststroke (1:14.27).

Prior Lake’s 200 medley relay team of junior Sarah Heskin, sophomores Taylor Dessler and Elizabeth Hartell and ninth-grader Lauren Harris was second (1:58.84), as was the 400 freestyle team of Banasikowski, Cunningham, Lair and Harris (3:50.95). Harris won two individual events, the 100 freestyle (56.98) and the 100 backstroke (1:03.31), Banasikowski won the 200 freestyle (2:05.97) and Lair took the top spot in the 50 freestyle (26.31). Runner-up individual fi nishes went to: Cunningham in the 200 individual medley (2:21.91), Banasikowski in the 100 butterf ly (1.05.98), Lair in the 500 freestyle (5:32.22), Dessler in the 100 backstroke (1:05.73) and senior Melanie O’Neil in the 100 breaststroke (1:15.92). The Lakers’ divers did not compete. Burnsville doesn’t have a diving program, so when the Blaze is the host of a dual there is no diving competition. Prior Lake was back in the pool Thursday (results not available at press time) in league dual at Bloomington Jefferson. The Lakers return home Tuesday, Oct. 11 to take on Eastview in a conference dual at 6 p.m. T he Sec tion 2 A A T r ue Team Meet is set for Saturday, Oct. 15 at Olson Grove Junior High School in Bloomington starting at 1 p.m.

The Prior Lake boys soccer team is starting to look like a playoff contender. The Lakers have scored 11 goals in their last three games, including a 4-1 home win over Bloomington Kennedy Oct. 4 in a key South Suburban Conference home game. Junior Cameron Pratt scored twice in the win, while sophomore Jhony Blanco had two assists. “I thought we played pretty well and was really happy with the effort level of the boys,” said Lakers coach Mike Shebuski. “The boys seem to be clicking right now, which is great to see.” The Lakers improved to 10-5 overall with one game left before the Section 2AA playoffs. That was Thursday (results not available at press time) at No. 1-ranked Eastview. The Lakers (5-3 in the conference) pretty much clinched a top-four section seed in beating Kennedy. Prior Lake took a four-game win streak into the Eastview game, winning six of its last seven. The section quarterfinals start Thursday, Oct. 13. The top-three seeds are locked in with No. 4 Edina (12-2-1) and No. 6 Bloomington Jefferson (9-2-4) as the top two, followed by No. 10 Eden Prairie (8-3-3). Kennedy (8-7) will likely get the No. 5 spot, setting up a rematch with the Lakers in the playoff opener. Other teams in the field are: Shakopee (7-6-2), Chanhassen (5-8-1) and Minnetonka (3-9-3). The section seed meeting is Sunday, Oct. 9 and complete brackets will available at www. mshsl.org. Meanwhile, in the win over Kennedy, senior Jack Peterson and junior Dylan Lehrer also had goals, while junior Logan Bunbury and senior Zack Fennessy had assists. Senior Andy Rieckoff made his 15th straight start in goal for the Lakers. Prior Lake went into the Kennedy game on the heels of a 3-2 non-conference home win over White Bear Lake Oct. 1. The Lakers scored three straight goals after getting down 1-0 midway through the fi rst half. Senior Ben Clements tied the game at 1-1 with a goal in the fi rst half, which is where the game stood at the break. Early in the second half, junior Sam Verity scored off a header on a corner kick from Bunbury to give the Lakers the lead. With about four minutes to play, Bunbury added what turned out to be an important insurance goal. He took advantage of a White Bear Lake mistake in its own end, dribbled past a defender and fi red a hard shot past the diving goalie. White Bear Lake ended up scoring with 35 seconds left in the game, so the Bunbury goal turned out to be big. Rieckoff finished with six saves in goal.

If the team beat the twotime Class AA defending state champs, it will have the headto-head win, as well as a better conference mark. Against Lakeville North, senior Dan Nitmz started in goal for the Blaze. He’s started all 15 games in net this fall. Burnsville went into the Lakeville North game on the heels of a 3- 0 loss at Edina Sept. 29. Playing in a howling 25-mph wind, Edina scored a minute into the game and never looked back. After the Hornets scored a minute into the game, the Blaze had a couple decent chances to score into the wind. Junior Luis Garcia had a shot just sail a little high, while junior Jesse Beane also fired a hard shot from just outside the goal box that went wide.

PL girls win twice, climb back to .500 mark before playoffs BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

The Prior Lake girls soccer team erupted for its season high in goals scored Oct. 4, climbing back to the .500 mark. Sophomore A n ne Ruel le scored two goals and sophomore Hannah Ward had a goal and two assists in the Lakers’ easy 5-0 home win over Bloomington Kennedy in a South Suburban Conference game. Prior Lake went into the game on the heels of a 1-0 home win over Holy Family Oct. 29, a non-conference game played in gusty 25-mph winds The Lakers (7-7-1 overall) improved to 2-5-1 in league play in beating Kennedy and they closed out the regular season Thursday (results not available at press time) at No. 7-ranked Eastview. If Prior Lake can fi nd a way to win that game, it should be enough to earn the team the No. 4 seed in the Section 2AA tournament, meaning it will get a home playoff game. A loss and the Lakers could be on the road, most likely at former Missota Conference rival Shakopee (8-4-3). Those two teams seem locked into the No. 4 or 5 seeds. Win or lose against Eastview, Lakers coach David Graham believes his team has done enough for the No. 4 seed. “I think we are a lock for the No. 4 seed regardless of the outcome against Eastview,” said Graham. “Shakopee might have a slightly better record, but we have a better record against common opponents and common section opponents. We are 3-1 against common section opponents, while they are 1-2-1.” Fourth-ranked Burnsville (11-4) and No. 10 Eden Prairie (8-3-4) will be the top-two seeds,

while Edina (6-3-5) seems in position to get the No. 3 spot. The rest of the field includes Chanhassen (7-6-1), Bloomington Jefferson (5-8-2) and Bloomington Kennedy (3-9-1). Section seeds come out Sunday, Oct. 9 and can be found at www.mshsl.org. Quarterfi nal action starts Thursday, Oct. 13. Prior Lake has scored two or more goals in just four of 15 games. The Lakers will need to fi nd more offense to advance in the playoffs. Burnsville has 46 goals on the year, while the Lakers have just 17. Ruelle’s two goals give her three on the year, tying her with ninth-grader Emily Peterson for the team lead. Ward’s goal was her second, while senior Gabbi Norman also scored against Kennedy, her second, and junior Larissa Gabler tallied her fi rst of the year. Ninth-grader Kaija Ornes, senior Molly Simpkins and junior Macy Violett each had assists. Sophomore Lauren Thormodsgard earned the shutout in goal, her sixth of the season. She’s started all 15 games for the Lakers. Against Holy Family, the Lakers held the Crusaders scoreless in the fi rst half playing into the wind. Prior Lake scored about 10 minutes into the second half with the wind at their back. Ninth-grader Kaija Ornes scored unassisted, her second goal of the year. Thormodsgard earned the shutout.

Lofthus made one save in her shutout half. The Blaze went into the game with six shutouts in its last seven games and had allowed just three goals in its last nine contests. But like Burnsville, Lakeville North can be pretty potent on offense with 55 goals on the year, while the Blaze has scored 46 (24 from sophomore Alyssa Blahnik). Meanwhile, the Panthers have allowed just six goals all season. It was only the third game this season Blahnik had been held without a goal. Against Edina, gusty 25-mph winds made controlling the ball difficult. The Blaze stayed with their goalie rotation with Rudolph and Lofthus each playing a half making five and three saves, respectively. Blahnik scored her 40th career goal. She also assisted on senior Jeannie Taylor’s goal. Sophomore midfielder Amanda Hartmann also had an assist for the Blaze.

Burnsville junior goalie Meghann Rudolph helped the Blaze blank Edina 2-0 Sept. 29. Seven of the Blaze’s 11 wins have been by shutout. The Blaze’s defense, led by sophomore Hannah Kierstead, juniors Nata lie Muench a nd Sarah Poythress and senior Hannah Fredin, has gotten stronger as the season has gone on after allowing 11 goals in the team’s fi rst six games.

PRIOR LAKE SPORT SHORTS

Girls tennis: Lakers get the No. 1 seed The Prior Lake girls tennis team had a remarkable regular season going a perfect 16-0 But as of Thursday, the Lakers were back to zero. The Section 3AA team tournament started Oct. 4 with first-round action. The Lakers earned the No. 1 seed and a bye in the opening round. Prior Lake faced eighth-seeded Simley in the quarterfi nals Thursday (result not available at press time). The semifinals and title match will be held Oct. 11 and Oct. 13, respectively, at Lifetime Fitness in Lakeville. Eagan is the defending champion and is seeded No. 2. The Wildcats reached the quarterfi nals with a 7-0 win over 15th-seeded Bloomington Kennedy. Simley topped ninth-seeded Holy Angels in the fi rst round (4-3). Other first-round results included: third-seeded Rosemount over 14th-seeded Park of Cottage Grove, fourthseeded Visitation over 13thseeded Richfield, fifth-seeded Eastview over 12th-seeded Henry Sibley, sixth-seeded Apple Valley over 11th-seeded Bloomington Jefferson and seventh-seeded South St. Paul over 10th-seeded Burnsville. Meanwhile, Prior Lake beat Eagan 6-1 during the South Suburban Conference season en route winning the league title with a 9-0 mark. The Lakers are looking for their fi rst section title since 1991. That team went 15-3, so this year’s Lakers have already broke the school record for wins in a season. The Class AA state tournament is Oct. 25-26 and will be held at the Baseline Tennis Center in Minneapolis. Going into section play, the Lakers’ doubles teams have been dominant all fall with a combined 43-5 record. Sophomore Nikki Henderson and eighth-grader Sydney Soeffker have played No. 3 doubles in all but one regular season match and went a perfect 16-0. The Lakers’ No. 1 team of junior Savanna Petersen and eighth-grader Grayce Petersen own a 14-2 mark going into the playoffs. Seniors Alex Fasking and Caitlyn Gengler are 9-3 on the year playing at the No. 2 spot. In singles, the Lakers’ best record heading into the playoffs was ninth-grader Dani Keller’s 15-1 mark at No. 3. Sophomore Sarah Henderson owned a 13-3 mark at No. 4, while seventh-grader Savanna Crowell was 12-4 at No. 2. Eighth-grader Chloe Hall has been the Lakers’ No. 1 player and she’s faced the opponents’ top player. She took a 6-9 mark into the postseason.

Volleyball: Lakers are 1-5 in the SSC The Prior Lake volleyball team was able to avoid a highly ranked opponent for the first time in two matches. But the end result was the same, another South Suburban Conference loss for the struggling Lakers. Prior Lake won easily in the fi rst game Oct. 4 versus Bloomington Kennedy (2515), but then lost the next three (25-21, 25-22, 28-26). Prior Lake (5-10 overall, 1-5 in league play) was at Eastview on Thursday (results not available at press time). The Lakers are playing in the Lakeville North Invitational, which began Friday and ends today (Saturday, Oct. 8). Prior Lake returns to conference action Tuesday, Oct. 11 at home versus No. 4-ranked Eagan at 7 p.m. Against Kennedy, senior Melissa VanBenthuysen led the Lakers with 17 kills, while senior Jayme Lubansky had 13. Senior Alex McGraw fi nished with 28 set assists. Sophomore Libby McGraw and junior Emily Veldman each had two ace serves, while ninth-grader Brittany Luethmers had 33 digs, followed by Libby McGraw with 13 and Alex McGraw and Lubansky each with 10. Lubansky led in blocks with four.

Partial victory for Scott County Attorney Judge agrees to 3 percent raise, denies pay increases for top staff BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

Once again, Scott County District Court Judge William Macklin found the Scott County Board failed to follow legal requirements for setting an elected official’s salary and has ordered a small raise for Scott County Attorney Pat Ciliberto But Macklin failed to find sufficient cause for also increasing the pay of Ciliberto’s top staff. And, in a decision filed Sept. 22, he appears to have little sympathy for the plight of the Scott County Attorney’s Office. All levels of government face “extraordinary fiscal challenges,” Macklin wrote, and to meet these challenges, those who choose to work for the government are being asked to forgo wage and salary increases. “Within the Minnesota judicial branch, judges, reporters, law clerks and court administration staff have gone without any increase in wages and sala-

ries – COLA’s [cost of living adjustments] and steps included – for the past two fiscal years, and it is unlikely that there will be any in the next two years,” he Pat said. Cilberto That being noted, Macklin said he was still required to determine if Ciliberto’s salary and his office budget met statutory requirements. On Tuesday, the Scott County Board complied with Macklin’s order and raised Ciliberto’s salary by 3 percent to $128,000. Both Ciliberto and County Sheriff Kevin Studnicka appealed their salaries, which were frozen for 2011, arguing county commissioners failed to even discuss their experience and duties when setting their pay, as required by law. Macklin agreed, and in April,

he provided Studnicka with a 3.8 percent increase, raising his pay to $117, 872. “As in the sheriff’s case the more difficult issue is what a reasonable salary is under the law,” Macklin said. Ciliberto had asked the court to set his 2011 salary at the 2010 average salary of four metro counties, or $143,183. However, Macklin didn’t consider Ciliberto’s salary out-of-line when the population of the other counties (Anoka, Dakota, Car ver and Washington) and the experience of their county attorneys were considered. “His 2010 salary was 87 percent of the average compared with the county’s population at 50 percent of the four-county average and years of experience at 43 percent of the four-county average,” Macklin said. W hat t roubled Mack li n, however, is the pay gap between Ciliberto and Scott County’s three highest paid employees before Ciliberto’s pay in-

crease: county administrator ($130,612), deputy county administrator ($127,260) and health and human services director ($126,811). “He is responsible for providing legal counsel to each of the county’s departments, including two division heads who earn more than he does,” Macklin noted. “Taking into account the responsibilities and duties … the data from the four comparable counties and [Ciliberto’s] experience, qualifications and performance, the court fi nds a reasonable salary for 2011 should be $128,000.” Unlike Studnicka, Ciliberto also appealed the salaries of his top staff — Chief Deputy Ron Hocevar ($114,952), who has worked for the county 16 years; Neil Nelson, the criminal division head for 23 years ($108,102), and Civil Division Head Susan McNellis, who has been the fi rst assistant for 25 years ($117,535). Their salaries are 90 to 92 percent of the average paid in

the comparable counties. It is undisputed these top attorneys are experienced and competent, Macklin said, but the issue – although relying in large part on the same law – is different than Ciliberto’s salary. “Presumably the Legislature allowed for an appeal to make sure that a county attorney, an elected public official, is fairly and reasonably compensated by fellow elected officials and not subject to the whim of politics,” Macklin said. “The concern regarding staffi ng is that the funding is sufficient to enable the county attorney to carry out his duties and obligations.” “Without a doubt” Ciliberto’s office is meeting its duties and obligations, Macklin said. His staff is well-prepared, timely, seldom seeks continuances and enjoys the occasional luxury of a second chair for serious felony trials, he said. “Contrast that with the office of the state public defender,

which is demonstrably underfunded,” Macklin said. “Assistants are assigned to multiple courtrooms on the same day, continuances are frequently necessary, there are no second chairs and certified student attorneys routinely provide back-up.” Ciliberto had requested an additional $52,537 to bring his salary and three supervisors up to par with suburban counterparts. Scott County did make a major adjustment to the salaries of assistant county attorneys in 2006 as part of an effort to stop the bleeding of experienced staff to higher-paying counties. Ciliberto, whose own salary was less than the average chief deputy pay of other suburban metro counties, was told his supervisors would eventually get the salary bump they needed as well. That never occurred. Ciliberto, who can appeal Macklin’s ruling, declined to comment on the decision until the matter “is concluded.”

COUNTY PARKS

Historic farmstead: To save or not to save? As county adopts long-term visions for parks, it has a short-term decision to make BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

The front porch is crumbling, stucco is sagging and moss is growing on the wood shingles, but historical experts say the former pioneer-style log cabin near Lennon Lake is easily redeemable. But who knows how long it will be before camping, horseback riding and kayaking are offered at the farmstead south of Prior Lake, now the DoyleKennefick Regional Park reserve. In the meantime, the Civil War-era home that could someday serve as the park’s centerpiece is boarded-up – vulnerable to decay and trespassers. The 1861 log home, which was added onto twice and covered with stucco, was occupied until 2002. The following year the county purchased the farmstead for a regional park. As the county waits for funding to develop the park, vandals have already tagged the house’s interior and even attempted to start it on fi re. A citizens’ park design committee and the county’s historical society director believe the home should be preserved, but county commissioners are unsure whether the restoration is worth the cost.

“We don’t have a quarter, much less a quarter of a million dollars sitting around,” said Scott County Chair Tom Wolf, who toured the house last month. “I understand it can never be replaced, but how many people would visit? If we are just keeping it up to keep it up and nobody sees it, what is it worth?” T he Scott Cou nty Pa rks Department wants to cover the home with a pole barn until money is found to strip the building back to its pioneer day condition, but Commissioner Dave Menden, of Shakopee, doesn’t see the value in saving the home. Menden said he heard from county employees who think if there’s money to cover up the house, the county should have the means to provide raises to its employees. “And I might have to agree,” he said. This is the oldest known log home at its original location in the county, said Scott County Historical Society Director Kathy Klehr. The home was occupied by the same family all its years. “I have serious doubts we’d ever f ind a place like this again,” said Klehr. “This is an opportunity that once you remove the cabin, you’re probably never going to have again.”

The cost of restoring the house to its original condition and installing necessary mechanical systems and a dry-pipe sprinkler system is estimated to be $ 226,788. It would cost about $85,000 less if the 1930s addition was torn off and the home restored with minimal modern upgrades. Although a disappointing exterior, the inside has been entombed well and an architectural analysis found the house in fair condition. “It looks terrible, but structurally it’s really sound and the interior looks really good,” said Klehr. Exposed logs, which have been painted over, line the walls of the original cabin. “The stucco has actually preserved the logs underneath,” said Jed Becher, who was on the design committee. The floor of the 1861 room is fashioned from wood planks of varying widths with pet fasteners. The ceiling is the ex-posed underside of the second-level: white-washed beams with unfi nished wood decking. Park planners say the home, once restored as a pioneer-style cabin with the stucco removed, could be rented to over-night lodgers. It could also be utilized for interpretive park programming, similar to the Landing in

It may look bad from the outside, but the Doyle house is considered to be in fair condition. The sagging porch would come off and the stucco would be stripped away if the home is restored. Floors throughout the house appear solid and the stucco has helped preserve the logs underneath. It is likely one of the few remaining Civil War-era structures in the county. Shakopee. “It’s not just that it’s neat and old – it tells a lot of different stories,” said Klehr. T he recom mendation to preserve the home came from a citizen design committee that developed master plans for both Doyle-Kennefick and Cedar Lake Farm Regional Park. “We all felt pretty strongly about preserving the house at Doyle and the barn at Cedar Lake Farm,” said Becher. W hile Cedar Lake Farm Regional Park also has a farmhouse (thought to be bui lt around the turn of the century), the citizen committee considered Doyle’s the jewel and proposed restoring the Cedar Lake house only if private funding is found. Doyle also has a 1943 dairy barn fashioned from local oak trees that is in fair condition but not valued as much as the Cedar Lake barn, which some believe has more character and could be immediately used for weddings. I n t he ne a r f ut u r e, t he county foresees only limited development of its three re-

gional parks, largely trails and renovation or stabilization of existing structures that would be funded with park dedication dollars or regional and state funds. Most of the development plans for the parks are more than a decade off.

OTHER OPTIONS Wol f a nd Com missioner Barbara Marschall of Prior Lake both would like to see the log home at Doyle restored, but they don’t believe the county has the funds to do so. However, they are open to stabilizing the structure with a reusable pole barn until a decision is reached on the home’s future. “It’s certainly historical, but it’s going to take some major dollars to restore and preserve,” said Marschall. Perhaps outside dollars and volunteer carpenters could restore the Doyle house, said Wolf. “I don’t want to use too much property tax money to fix these things up,” he said. But Menden said if people want to see the Doyle house preserved, they should start with stepping up to pay for its

stabilization. Demolishing the building would cost almost as much as the estimated cost ($ 31,767) of covering the house with a pole barn and taking minimal steps to make it weather-tight and vandal-resistant. It would take an additional $12,000 to secure the place, according to estimates. “There is a great concern it may be burned down from kids goofi ng around,” said Becher, a Web manager for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources who lives about a mile from the park. Becher believes the log home is an opportunity the county should not pass up. He said the state’s camper cabins in the metro area are booked all summer long. How much more popular would an historic one be? “It’d be so cool to be able to stay at a log cabin – it’s a big one too,” he said. Menden said he loves parkland and the committee did good work, but the county has to be “realistic” about what can be accomplished in light of monetary concerns.

The Minnesota Renaissance Festival opened an hour late last Friday morning after a fire damaged several food booths. The fire was reported around 6:15 a.m. at the Rogue’s Chicken booth and was under control after about an hour. Tanker fire trucks from Chaska, Savage, Prior Lake, Jordan and Carver helped haul water to the site, which lacks fire hydrants. An entire section of the festival grounds near the Crown Stage was closed off as the state fire marshal examined the scene. Shakopee Fire Marshal Tom Pitschneider said investigators are still conferring on the cause of the fire. Erica Christo, a marketing official from the Renaissance Festival, said entertainers noticed the fire and quickly notified security. The Chicken Shack was in f lames when firefighters arrived. It was reduced to rubble and neighboring booths were also damaged. The festival de-

layed opening until 10 a.m. The raptors show and other performances were relocated to other places at the festival. The Renaissance Festival, which is usually open Saturdays and Sundays, was open last Friday as it usually is on the last weekend of the festival for the season. Shannon Fiecke

Two businesses burglarized Police officers from Savage are investigating two downtown restaurant burglaries that occurred overnight on Oct. 4. Officers responded to a burglary alarm at 12:24 a.m. in El Loro Mexican Restaurant on the 4700 block of West 13 Avenue. Then, at 4:47 a.m. they responded to a reported burglary at Windmill Café, located on the 5300 block of West Highway 13. Burglars in both instances appear to have gained entrance into the businesses via forced entry through the front door. Savage Police Captain David Muelken said the close proximity of the two businesses leaves

open the possibility that the incidents are related. Forrest Adams

Schools celebrate Service Marathon

SEND US YOUR …

St. John the Baptist Catholic School in Savage and St. Michael’s Catholic School in Prior Lake participated in an annual tradition called Service Marathon on Friday, Sept. 30. At St. John’s, students and teachers, sporting classroom banners, were led on their Marathon Walk by the Savage Fire Department. As part of a new tradition, students participated in class service projects, including volunteering at Feed My Starving Children, packing boxes of personal care items for military personnel and cleaning an area wetland. The donation goal for the Marathon Walk was set for $78,000. Last year, the school surpassed the goal and raised nearly $84,000. At St. Michael’s Catholic School in Prior Lake, students filled sacks with with toys, books and candy to donate to pediatric cancer patients at Children’s Hosptial.

Outstanding photographs of autumn’s color Autumn is upon us, and we’re seeking your best fall color photos. We’re looking for those eye-popping reds, oranges, yellows and golds – whether they’re in landscape photos or pictures of your kids playing in the leaves. Share your best photo with Savage Pacer readers. Send your picture – in .jpg format, at least 3 MB file size – to Editor Amy Lyon, editor@savagepacer.com, before noon on Wednesday, Oct. 19.
