PACER Delinquent utility bills down 20% Over $258,000 still outstanding BY AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com
The Savage City Council authorized the levy of special assessments at its Monday, Oct. 17 meeting for the collection of delinquent utility bills totaling more than $258,000. Administrative fees of $100 are also attached to each property bringing the total to collect to just under $300,000. “It’s been our past city practice to use this method rather than shutting off the water,” said City Administrator Barry Stock. According to Finance Director Shelly Kolling, the number of delinquent utility accounts is down 20 percent this year – from 494 properties last year to 391 properties this year. Dollar-wise, that equates to approximately 23 percent less than what was levied for the 2010 assessments. “That is good news,” said Kolling. “We have notified the preliminary people and some have paid.” Certified letters alerting property owners to delinquent utility bills were sent out last month and a reminder letter was sent out this week by “regular mail,” according to Kolling. Individuals have until Nov. 16 to pay delinquent utility bills to avoid the $100 penalty charge. If bills aren’t paid, the delinquent amount plus the $100 administrative fee will be assessed in one lump sum to taxes for calendar year 2012. “Also, I should mention that with the list, we use the best information we have on fi le,” said Stock. “So if a property owner has moved or if a property has gone into foreclosure, the assessment goes with the property.” Counci lwoman Jane Victorey asked how many repeat customers wind up on the list year after year. “There are some accounts that typically let it get to this point and they

Firefighter memorial gains momentum Local firefighters raise funds to move memorial to a more fitting location BY FORREST ADAMS fadams@swpub.com
It may not look like much now, but if Minnesota’s 20,000 firefighters raise enough money by the end of the year, an area of the Capitol Mall known as Parking Lot H could be transformed into a new memorial by October 2012. Fire departments in the state are trying to raise $600,000 for the construction of an interactive fi refighter memorial. The purpose of the new project would be to honor fallen Minnesota fi refighters and provide a new home for a current fi refi ghter memorial that stands near the baggage claim at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The initial phase of the fundrais-
ing campaign began in July. Each of the state’s fi refighters was asked to contribute $30 or more to cover the costs. However, so far the Minnesota Fire Service Foundation only has about $205,000 in the bank for the project. Eden Prairie Fire Chief George Esbensen, president of the Minnesota Fire Service Foundation, said commitments to donate from fire departments and organizations associated with the fi re service bring that amount closer to $350,000. But still, the fi re service could use help from the general public and business community to push closer to the fundraising goal. At the low end, fi refighters need to raise $250,000 more before the

Out of work? Project Community Connect aims to help BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com
You might not see them, but even here in the southwest metro, thousands of families are struggling to get by. The Minnesota Housing Partnership (MHP) reports that 36 percent of available jobs in Scott and Carver counties pay less than the wage necessary to afford basic needs. “Just because you have a job doesn’t mean you can afford everything you need for your family,” said Patricia Pettit, coordinator of Project
Community Connect. Local service agencies and community volunteers are coming together from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28 to help area residents “living on little” as part of the second annual Scott Carver Project Community Connect. More than 80 providers will offer free services, including housing, education, medical care, youth, legal assistance, haircuts, benefits help, family services, dental, veterans’ services and more. The event has moved to Minnesota School of Business, which offers ad-
ditional professional space, such as doctor exam rooms, laboratory and more computers for legal volunteers, Pettit said. Also new are voter registration and transportation to the Scott County Government Center so attendees can renew their driver’s license or get a copy of their birth certificates. While Scott and Carver counties are often listed among the state’s wealthiest counties, the recent economic downturn has impacted this corner of the metro area, too, Pettit

The event not only points people to available resources, but also draws awareness to the issues of homelessness and poverty in the southwest metro. “Their situation could happen to any one of us at any time,” Pettit said. “It could be a medical event, it could be a car crash, it could be the onset of a disability that could put us in that position.

OUR FOCUS IS YOU Cherrywood Dental Care provides the very best in modern dentistry – from sedation dentistry to ensure your comfort, to cosmetic dentistry to create a dazzling smile. In all we do, our focus is you.
Dr. Zettler – With Honors Dr. Melissa Zettler graduated from St. Olaf College and the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry with honors, receiving several awards for clinical excellence. She was then chosen to complete a highly competitive postdoctoral residency program. After 16 years of dentistry – 14 since founding Cherrywood Dental Care – Dr. Zettler continues to take the best continuing education offered in the United States and travels regularly to the top training centers from California to Florida. All this training and experience translate into one thing: better patient care. It is no surprise that both Mpls.-St. Paul Magazine and Minnesota Monthly have repeatedly chosen Dr. Zettler as one of Minnesota’s Top Dentists.
Meeting Your Needs Cherrywood Dental care is a cosmetically oriented family practice and offers a full range of services for the entire family. This includes free cosmetic consultations to evaluate whether cosmetic dentistry could help achieve your goals, and one-hour new patient exams to ensure your concerns are fully addressed without feeling rushed.
Worry-Free Dentistry Advancements in sedation allow even the most anxious patients to overcome years of needed dental work in just one or two visits. It starts with a simple consultation to determine the optimum level of medication to accomplish your goals. After the patient takes a small dose of medicine, we are able to provide a deeply relaxing and comfortable experience.
Smile Design “Smile Design” is really just another term for cosmetic dentistry. No cosmetic procedure should be performed without ¿rst considering how it will impact other facets of a patient’s appearance. Knowing how it will impact appearance comes from advanced

training and extensive experience performing cosmetic procedures. Dr. Zettler’s extensive training and experience help her create beautiful smiles by considering the patient’s coloring, lip line, eyes, gum tissue contouring, facial features, and other characteristics. Only then can a stunning smile be created with veneers, implants, Invisalign, crowns, and other advanced techniques. The goal is to create a smile that is beautiful, strong and natural. You can see Dr. Zettler’s work for yourself with before and after photos at: www.cherrywooddental.com.
Cherrywood Dental Care offers hours that are convenient for the busy family.
State-of-the-Art
We invite you to call 952-440-9303 to set up your appointment, or to have any questions answered.
Although this term is often overused and inaccurate, Cherrywood Dental Care truly is state-of-the-art. Our investment in technology bene¿ts patients in numerous ways. First, it is safer. For instance, digital x-rays reduce the radiation exposure of patients by up to 80%. Second, it is quicker. One example is the use of Cerec same-day crowns that can be made while you wait, rather than requiring multiple visits to the dental of¿ce. Cherrywood Dental Care also offers Invisalign, which straightens your teeth like braces but without metal appliances. In addition, Cherrywood Dental Care offers teeth whitening (both “take home” and the much quicker “in of¿ce”), metal-free ¿llings, and many other techniques to enhance your smile and keep you healthy. Dr. Zettler would be pleased to schedule a consultation to discuss which options are right for you.
Comfort We know that many patients are anxious about their dental visits, and we are experienced in helping patients relax. So, in addition to our sedation services, we provide lap blankets, pillows, noise-cancelling headphones (which work remarkably well in removing the noise from dental instruments), DVDs, and sunglasses. Our goal is to make your visit as pleasant as possible.
Appointments are available Monday 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. Tuesday 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Wednesday 7:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Thursday 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. Friday 7:30 a.m. – 12 p.m.

City declares Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month The Savage City Council adopted a proclamation at its Oct. 17 meeting declaring the month of November “Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month” in the city of Savage. Kris Howland of Savage and Nancy Marian of Burnsville represented the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network with a brief presentation and passed out purple ribbons to the council and audience. “We all mourn Steve Jobs because we feel connected to him, literally, in our everyday lives,” said Marian. “We know he
battled a rare form of pancreatic cancer and his passing serves as a harsh reminder of the relentlessness of this disease.” Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cancer killer in the country, and Marian noted that there is only a 6 percent long-term survival rate – long term being defined as five years beyond diagnosis. “It is the most underfunded, under-recognized and least studied of all the major cancer killers with only 2 percent of the National Cancer Institute’s budget dedicated to pancreatic can-
cer research,” said Marian. Purple ribbons were distributed while Mayor Janet Williams read the city’s proclamation. “I, too, lost a ver y dea r friend to pancreatic cancer, so I share your concerns,” said Williams. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network wi l l kick of f Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month with a “Purple Night Out” from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25 at Town Hall Brewery in Minneapolis. -Amy Lyon

pay it before it actually goes to the county,” said Kolling. “I think what surprised me since I’ve been on the council is that there are some people who traditionally put them on the tax role every year … especially with the $100 fee that we’re assessing now,” said Mayor Janet Williams. Councilwoman Christine
Kelly wondered what the protocol is for individuals who claim they never received a delinquency notice. “The statute requires that the notice go to the address that is used for regular business purposes. If that address is no longer good, that does not invalidate that notice has been given,” said City Attorney Ric Rosow. The majority of delinquent utility bills for this year are under $1,000, but there are 33
properties with delinquent utility bills over $1,000, five proper ties over $ 2,0 0 0 and one property over $4,000. One property owner has logged over $13,000. I n a r el at e d m at t er, a n amendment to the Savage City Code will change the city’s delinquent utility bill assessment procedures beginning in 2012. The city will no longer be required to send notices by certified mail as that is not a requirement of the state statute.

No Child Left Behind needs major overhaul If we want a stronger economy tomorrow we need to give our kids a good education today. That was the idea behind No Child Left Behind: to ensure that every American child can graduate from high school prepared for the jobs of the 21st century. But No Child Left Behind has failed. And this year, with the law coming up for reauthorization, we have a chance to fix it – a chance we’d better not let slip by. The heart of the problem is that, instead of measuring every student’s growth over time, No Child Left Behind simply measures how many students meet an arbitrary standard of proficiency. Judging teachers by how many of their students can meet that standard gives them enormous incentive to focus solely on the kids who come into their class either just above or just below the bar. They have no incentive to spend time on the most challenged kids in the class who have little chance of reaching the bar or the most advanced who are in no danger of falling short. I’ve never met a teacher who doesn’t believe in accountability, but this race to the middle does them – and their students – a disservice. Parents also are finding the tests aren’t the useful, diagnostic tools they’d been led to expect. That’s because the tests are given once a year, at the end of the school year. One principal I met called them “autopsies”; whatever useful diagnostic information they provide comes too late for teachers to use them to better educate students. The system needs a major overhaul. Rather than a single, high-stakes test at the end of the year, we should have multiple diagnostic tests over the course of every year (like in many Minnesota schools). And rather than simply asking whether a student has achieved a certain level, the tests should be flexible enough to measure how far a student has progressed. Teachers should be able to use test results to adapt plans and tailor them to the individual needs of students. And those teachers should be recognized for the growth they help students achieve over the course of the year. A fi fth-grade teacher who brings a struggling student from a secondgrade reading level to a fourth-grade reading level is a hero, not a goat.
Al
FRANKEN GUEST COMMENTARY
Another problem is that the No Child Left Behind tests fail to measure skills our kids will need when they enter the work force. When I talk to employers around Minnesota, I always ask what skills they’re looking for in employees. One answer I always hear is “critical thinking.” The current system doesn’t measure that. We’re failing to put enough emphasis on subjects important for 21st century jobs. Last April, I toured Duluth’s Northstar Aerospace, which will need highly trained engineers to expand in the years ahead. Indeed, nearly all of the 30 fastest-growing jobs require science, technology, engineering or math skills, also known as “STEM” skills. But our kids are laggi ng behi nd t he r e st of t he world. Part of the problem is a shortage of ef fective STEM teachers. That’s why I’ve introduced a bill that would attract and retain excellent, committed STEM teachers by offering them the chance to become master teachers, mentoring others and earning higher salaries. The good news is there is much bipartisan agreement on the problem and a willing ness to work across the aisle on education issues – like when Republican Orrin Hatch and I teamed up to work on legislation designed to recruit and retain great principals for highneeds schools. There’s no reason we can’t fi nd bipartisan solutions. And there’s no excuse for failing to reform a system that is flunking. (Sen. Al Franken represents Minnesota in the U.S. Senate. His commentary is one of many opinion pieces appearing regularly in this newspaper.)
“The heart of the problem is that, instead of measuring every student’s growth over time, No Child Left Behind simply measures how many students meet an arbitrary standard of proficiency.”
Rejection of bill widens the gap between rich and poor Last week the Republican members in the U.S. Senate voted against, and thus killed, a bill which, according to private economists, would reduce our unemployment rate by over 1 percent. The plan would have: I Created incentives for small businesses to hire and grow from now into 2012. I Made investments that would prevent layoffs of as many as 280,000 teachers, provided opportunities for long-term unemployed veterans, and put Americans to work rebuilding roads, railways, bridges and schools in need of repair. I Implemented the most sweeping reforms to the unemployment insurance system in 40 years to help those without jobs transition to the workplace. I Expanded the payroll tax cut, cutting workers payroll taxes in half next year. This provision would have provided a tax cut of $1,500 to the typical family. I Been fully paid for as part of a long-term deficit reduction plan. Nearly two-thirds of the respondents to a survey from NBC/Wall Street Journal voiced their approval when pollsters told them the details of the president’s “American Jobs Act” shown above. NBC reports that 63 percent of respondents said they favored the bill. One element of the bill in
Kerry
MEAGHER COMMUNITY VOICES
particular enjoyed wide support – 64 percent of respondents said it’s a “good idea” to raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations. Aren’t our senators and representatives elected to represent their constituents, or does one of our major parties represent only the super rich and large corporations? Otherwise, why would 100 percent of the senators in that party vote to kill a bill that would help the middle class so much? This is the same party that added trillions to our national debt between 2000 and 2008 through tax cuts that almost exclusively helped the super rich and large corporations. Are these political actions part of the fuel for the protests that started a few weeks ago? According to an article in the Star
Tribune of Oct. 16, the protestors’ Web site says: “United in one voice, we will let politicians, and the financial elites they serve, know it is up to us, the people, to decide our future.” In interviews concerning the protests, many go far beyond Wall Street and bring up the widening gap between rich and poor, and the increasing stress being placed on America’s middle- and workingclasses, not to mention the plight of the roughly 26 million Americans who are now out of work. As one man stated, “There’s an incredible imbalance of wealth and power in the world and we need to develop a system of democracy that can endure.” Since 1979, most groups have seen their incomes barely budge, while income for the top 1 percent of earners has nearly quadrupled. A host of other statistics tell the same basic story of the growing imbalance, thus the slogan, “We are the 99 percent.” As a small business owner and American who believes in equal opportunity for all, I say, “Go 99 percenters!” (Kerry Meagher is one of several people in the Savage community who write for Community Voices – a column appearing weekly in the opinion and commentary section of this newspaper.)
LETTERS FROM READERS ANIMAL ORDINANCE
‘Give a hoot! Don’t poo-lute’ With winter fast approaching, I would like to remind all my fellow Savage residents that it is not only a courtesy but an actual city of Savage law that you clean up after your pets (see city ordinance below). We adopted a puppy in February, and began diligently walking and cleaning up after him. We couldn’t help but notice that many residents were leaving large and small land mines up and down the street. (May I remind you that children have to navigate these to get to their bus stops?) A portion of the city’s animal control ordinance states: The owner of any animal or person having the custody or control of any animal shall be responsible for cleaning up any feces of the animal and disposing of such feces in a sanitary manner whether on their own property, on the property of others or on public property. Any person violating this section may be charged with a misdemeanor. Please be a courteous neighbor and
take a moment to pick up after your animal. Think of it as a toasty hand warmer on a cold day. Give a hoot! Don’t poo-lute.

Sometimes the decisions are tough and not everyone is happy with the outcome, but Christine does her best to find solutions that balance conflicting interests to ensure the decision is right for the community in the long term. During Christine’s tenure on the Council, she has helped to maintain our tax levy at the same rate in a very tough economy for the last four years. She and the Council have maintained this same rate while preventing service cuts, building a new fi re station to improve response times and improving our community park. This is no small feat when you consider the situation our state and federal governments are in. Savage was recently named one of the best places to live by CNN’s Money magazine (coming in at number 51) and in March of 2010, Bloomberg BusinessWeek ranked Savage among the most affordable places to live. These top rankings simply do not happen without solid-performing council members like Christine. We’ve lived in Savage since 1995 and this is by far the best City Council we have had. Christine’s dedication and integrity over the last four years have proven she deserves to stay a
member of this council. Please vote for her on Nov. 8.

EDUCATION
Costs go up but still no improvement Another article appeared in the paper recently. Education has not improved. Seems like an annual announcement. Cost goes up but education does not improve. There are many reasons – government interference, socializing of our young people, lack of focus by parents and quality of teaching. A column appeared in the St. Paul paper recently that summarized a study soon to be released in the Economics of Education Journal. Results noted: 1. There are good teachers and bad teachers (no surprise). 2. In three-to-five years, a teacher’s improvement levels off. 3. Additional academic work such as a master’s degree does not improve a teacher’s effectiveness. Common sense tells us this is true. Most jobs are mastered in three-to-

five years and the improvements after that are minor. So how does our public school system give pay increases to teachers? It is based upon years of classroom experience and additional academic work. So a bad teacher can make much more than a good teacher because they have spent more years teaching and/or they have a master’s degree (for which they get a major increase in pay). Why is our system not focused on the welfare of the student? Teachers are unionized and unions are basically a socialistic group who are focused on pay and benefits for the members. They are oblivious to the students and their educational welfare. In fact, the union will vigorously fi ght the release of a bad teacher. Back to item No. 1. After 30 to 40 years, all of the improvements in “this system” have been realized and don’t expect any more money to cause improvements. It is what it is. To improve education we would have to scrap the whole system and start over which politically is like pushing a cooked noodle up Mount Everest.

SLICE OF LIFE
A screen is slit. A window raised. Black gloves, black pants on the sill, and then slime, dark as the night, oozes into the room. A figure stands in the light, casting sinister shadows on the wall and then he moves. To the laptops. To the wallet. He had been watching the residents, waiting until they walked their guests down the hall, and he was ready. He reaches under the futon, takes the iPod and then, with a knee on the window sill, he disappears again into the black night. When I picked up the phone, I knew in an instant that something was wrong. My son’s voice was on the line, shaking with indignation. A robbery at his apartment last night. Computer. Police report. Rash of thefts. I struggled for the right words. Thank goodness you are safe. No one is hurt. Nothing was lost that can’t be replaced. I hung up, but my shock turned into outrage. How DARE someone enter that apartment! What slime. What scum. Then fear took hold. This could happen again. This was Murder-apolis, after all, and people were robbed and assaulted every day. This was big city playing down and dirty, and we were just innocent bystanders. I went out and mowed the

lawn. I mowed under the big red maple, a tree the kids always loved to climb. Oh, to have them clamber down the trunk and into my arms again. I will keep you safe. I will ward off those who would do evil against you. I will shut your windows tight against the slime of the world. But, ooh, that slime is sneaky. It slips between the cracks and penetrates our armor. It pokes holes in our dreams. It sucks joy from our veins. It creeps around in the darkness until it slingshots into our lives, causes heartache and turmoil, then shoots back into the black of the night before we can even register what has just occurred. My husband and I took money to our son. We drove
up 35W into the pit of iniquity. People were looking at our car to see if it was worth stealing. There were men waiting in front of Rainbow with guns in their pockets. A woman walked by and checked out my purse to see if she wanted to snatch it and run. Nothing looked the same to me anymore. There was evil in the world, and bad things were happening to good people. We drove back home, and I ran an errand. I opened the car door and a receipt flew out and lifted into the wind. I ran after it, but it dipped and swirled and in seconds it was two rows across the parking lot. I hurried between the cars – I needed that receipt! – and there, out of the corner of my eye, was a dark figure. Black jacket. Black hat. He was running toward me, and my heart started pounding. The receipt scuttled under a pickup, and I was wondering what I should do when the man in black dove under the pickup and then stood, holding my receipt in his hand. He handed it to me graciously, with a smile and a little bow, and I noticed his scuffed knee and dusty jacket from where he dove onto the ground. “Thank you! Thank you!” I told him as I walked back to
my car, clutching the receipt in my hand. I turned to watch him walk away, marveling at how – by handing me this small piece of paper – he had returned to me so much more than he could even imagine. There is no doubt that slime oozes through the slit screens of this world. There are bad, bad people out there, and it would behoove us all to take every precaution necessary because they have no conscience. No morals. It’s why we sing the song, “Shut de door. Keep out de devil. Shut de door keep de devil in the night …” But, my friends, there are also people out there who are good. People who will chase a stranger’s receipt across a windy parking lot and dive under a vehicle to retrieve it. So yes, we need to shut the door. Yes, we need to lock the windows. But then we also need to lift the blinds, so that a bright light can shine out onto the street, pushing back the darkness and making our world a better place. It’s why we sing the song, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine …” (Karen Wheeler is a veterinarian who lives in Burnsville. Her column is one of several opinion and commentary pieces appearing regularly in this newspaper.)

boss suggested Prekker move up to the black and yellow. His reply? “I can’t drive those big things.” “Yeah, you can,” replied his supervisor. Years later, Prekker has proven himself wrong. In the process, he’s also formed bonds with his passengers. “It’s funny how time flies and you see them again and you go, ‘No way! They grew that much?,’ Prekker says. He fondly remembers students from his past elementary-school routes. They’re the same middleschoolers who wave and say, “Hi” now. Prekker is now a substitute driver and spends time training new colleagues, a responsibility he enjoys. “I’m a patient person,” Prekker says. “I like meeting new people.” That patience, he says, is a very important personality trait for bus drivers.

In honor of National School Bus Safety Week, Prekker provides tips on how to make the roads and bus safe for students and motorists. On the most important rule for bus riders: “Sitting in your seat and staying there until you’re released from the bus.” Advice for kindergarteners, the youngest and often newest bus passengers: Kindergarteners should watch the drivers to know when it’s safe to cross.

On the role motorists play in bus safety: “I don’t believe that a lot of people know what to do around a school bus … When the yellow [lights] come on, prepare to stop and be patient. We’re not there for very long and we’re trying to get the kids off and on in a safe manner … We don’t want to see the children being a target. It happens quite often, though.”
On the biggest on-bus safety problem: “When kids jump from seat to seat, it takes the eyes off the road for the driver, because he can see that movement in the mirror. It only takes a few seconds and you could have an accident.”
On what parents can tell their students to promote bus safety: “Listen to your bus driver. Obey the rules.”
“Being with all the young kids makes you feel young all the time,” Prekker says. “You don’t have to worry about all the world’s problems.”
What kind of music do you play on your buses? Stations that are appropriate to play. What kind of music do you like? Oldies and stuff. I can get into the polka music and stuff. I was raised on that. What is the last good movie you saw? “Moneyball.” What are you looking forward to this winter? Snow.

James “Jim” Frankhauser
Richard William Connelly
In life, Jim was calm, generous with his time for others, and acted according to an inner beat composed by the graces of both a jesting bard and a gentleman. His mother Kerma learned thus immediately upon Jim’s arrival in this world during the course of a seemingly never-ending 24hour birth Aug. 19, 1975. All those who shared in Jim’s life, from family to friends to acquaintances, knew the same unassuming man filled with these qualities and a love unbounded by the material world. He was of rare stuff indeed. The eldest of three children, Jim grew up in a household teeming with laughter, animals and the smell of freshly baked cookies. At the age of three, his first motor vehicle incident occurred while driving his grandparent’s sedan into a refrigerator. The refrigerator works to this day; the car does not. At the age of five, he made his first of 30 annual fall trips to his great grandfather’s farm near Drake, ND with his father hunting waterfowl. Jim spent much of his free time in youth on a baseball diamond, football field, hockey rink, or neighborhood front yard in pursuit of the next great play. As an active member of the Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church youth group, Jim traveled with an assemblage of friends under the leadership of Russ Timmerman on numerous trips to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, hiking and skiing in Colorado through the Rockies, to Atlanta, the Apostle Islands, and South Dakota, Iowa and Appalachia on Habitat for Humanity projects. He also participated as a mentor in the confirmation program and acted as President of the youth group during his senior year of high school. During high school, Jim enjoyed being part of the theater group and took great pride as a member of the mad jazz choir group. He graduated from the Prior Lake High School in 1994 and punctuated 12 years of schooling by jumping out of a plane. After high school, Jim worked the culinary gamut from The Ground Round to Timberlodge Steakhouse (the place where the (in)famous “Goonies” cadre began their ‘magical friendship’) to Maggiano’s. Between these job stints, he set off to California in his pickup ‘The Black Dog’ living on a harbored sailboat for six lean months. As an avid Minnesota Gophers fan, Jim loved attending football games with fellow maroon and gold supporters as part of the group, DTTG (Dinkytown Tailgating). Through the years, camaraderie, communion, and the personal connections made and developed between a large and diverse network of friends remained Jim’s most valued asset. Their friendship meant more to him than words can possibly convey. An excellent chef, Jim’s specialties included Mexican and Italian cuisine, deep-dish pizza, and BBQ smoked ribs. During the past spring and summer, he spent valued time in his flower and vegetable gardens growing tomatillos and tomatoes and tending to hostas, herbs and especially his dianthus. In the fall of 2007, Jim’s world fundamentally changed when he met a young woman named Jill Pelkola. The focus of his eyes, his words, and his deeds would forever be orientated in a new direction towards a sun-strewn horizon. On Nov. 14, 2009 at the Hurley Presbyterian Church in Hurley, WI, Jim and Jill exchanged wedding vows and united in holy matrimony. They toured Spain for their honeymoon visiting Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, and Segovia. They later enjoyed visiting Washington D.C. and then San Francisco and Yosemite National Forest on their last trip together this October. At the young age of 36 and a resident of St. Paul, Jim passed away peacefully with his family at his side from a short yet graceful battle with cancer the evening of Friday, Oct. 14, 2011 at his parent’s home in Savage. When the whole stirs and yearns, fear not the lack, rather know Jim’s presence will not cease as his caring and warmth forever maintain constancy in all hearts touched by his own. Forever loved, Jim will be deeply missed by wife, Jill; parents, Charles and Kerma of Savage; brother, David Frankhauser of Savage; sister, Christy Frankhauser of Savage; grandparents, Vera Frankhauser of Savage, Fred and Gloria Fretheim of Bloomington; father-in-law, Gary Pelkola of Hurley, WI; brother-in-law, Todd (Jodi) Pelkola of Green Bay, WI, sister-in-law, Janet (Colin) DiGiorgio of Ironwood, MI; special cat, Buster; nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends. Jim is preceded in death by his grandfather, Donovan Frankhauser; and mother-in-law, Shirley Pelkola. Visitation was Wednesday, Oct. 19 starting at 11 a.m. at Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church in Prior Lake, with the Celebration of Life Service following at 1 p.m. Interment at Spring Lake Cemetery in Prior Lake.

What would your top three-to-five priorities be as a council member? 1. Hear and give credence to our citizens. I believe it is the responsibility of elected officials to represent the wishes of our citizens, not to “do what is good” for them. 2. Lower city taxes. Our property tax rate is 21 percent higher than Burnsville, 29.5 percent higher than Shakopee and 31.5 percent higher than Prior Lake. 3. Get and keep the city out of enterprises better handled by the private sector (i.e. liquor stores). 4. Examine water quality and water rates. Is there room to cut from the city budget? If “no,” why not? If “yes,” name up to three specific items that could be considered for cuts. I believe there is an opportunity to cut the city budget. 1. The city should close and sell the two remaining liquor locations. From the proceeds of the sale, a substantial amount of debt could be retired. In addition, approximately $100,000 in tax revenue could be generated and operating cost would be reduced approximately $250,000. 2. All city departments, with the exception of fi re and police, should be challenged to reduce operating costs by 10 percent beginning with the next budget period. What would you do, if elected, to promote economic development and job creation in Savage? I Offer Tax Increment Financing to businesses that would bring jobs to Savage. I Create an Economic development district for the Hamilton area to encourage expansion and renovation of the downtown area. I Challenge the Economic Development Commission and city staff to aggressively market Savage to businesses that are looking to expand or relocate.
What would your top three-to-five priorities be as a council member? I My fi rst priority continues to be managing city fi nances. We have been able to keep the tax levy fl at while maintaining a high level of services. I The second is ensuring that remaining commercial property is “pad ready.” Investing in basic infrastructure is crucial so Savage is an option for new development. I Third is creating a long-term street improvement plan which would provide homeowners the ability to budget for street reconstruction projects years in advance. Is there room to cut from the city budget? If “no,” why not? If “yes,” name up to three specific items that could be considered for cuts. Savage residents have a high expectation of the level of service they desire. Any notable decrease in expenditures would have to relate to personnel changes which would directly impact this level of service. We need to continue to seek efficiencies through partnerships and personnel restructuring, without affecting the current level of service. Long-term fi scal management has proven the most successful in impacting the city budget. Planning for current and future expenditures is critical. What would you do, if elected, to promote economic development and job creation in Savage? In these difficult economic times, the city needs to be willing to invest in basic infrastructure so that there are sites available and ready for businesses. These “pad-ready” sites allow companies to move in to Savage and start operating immediately. This is a major draw for companies. Additionally, maintaining policies that promote growth and do not place undue burdens on businesses go a long way to developing a reputation that invites new development.

What would you do, if elected, to promote economic development and job creation in Savage? Development includes: new development, infi ll and redevelopment. Intertwined with them are traffic, roads, housing, parks, trails, open space and schools. Businesses will come and owners live here when they see that we have a good quality of life where all of our residents feel safe, welcome and proud.

What would you do, if elected, to promote economic development and job creation in Savage? Economic development in this economy, in all reality, is out of the hands of local government. In the meantime, we can still promote our community as we currently do and make sure we have the resources available to a commercial developer when they are ready to begin a project. We do have to maintain a good housing supply, because it is increased population that actually triggers commercial and industrial development.
Is there room to cut from the city budget? If “no,” why not? If “yes,” name up to three specific items that could be considered for cuts. The city budget is directly related to city services. We continuously monitor what we are doing and adjust our budget accordingly. Our city survey indicated that residents want the current level of services retained.

Is there room to cut from the city budget? If “no,” why not? If “yes,” name up to three specific items that could be considered for cuts. I feel the budget has been reduced to a level where I am growing concerned that we will not be able to meet the demands of our residents for services they require. It is as low as it can be. We have spent the last eight years keeping the budget pared down and eventually this will catch up to us. We have to be extremely diligent in making sure that any budget increases are justified and are for services that are needed.
What would your top three-to-five priorities be as a council member? As your mayor, I plan to use the two-year work plan and the five-year capital improvement plan as a guide for my next four years.

Four-legged lessons: Dogs and students learn from each other BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com
A kind, blonde woman shrouded in a vest speaks deliberately, her voice reverberating through one of Hidden Oaks Middle School’s smaller gyms. She relies on mnemonics and simplified examples to get her points across. “ABC: Association, bit-bybit and consistency.” “Why should I try? Because you set me up to fail.” Linda Ball isn’t talking about test-taking strategies, algebra or any of the other things most middle-school students learn. “If your dogs aren’t listening, look at yourself.” No, that’s not a typo. Ball, executive director of the Savage nonprofit Pawsitive Perspectives Assistance Dogs (PawPADs), is talking about dogs. This class session – a daylong marathon of exercises, instruction and even some fun – is part of PawPADs’ Project Youth Empowerment Services! (YES!) a program designed to give students the skills to train dogs who will eventually become service companions for people with disabilities. “The dogs feed off the kids,” Ball says. “The kids learn, ‘If I regulate and make it fun, the dogs work for me.’” But Ball is the first to say that Project YES! isn’t about dog training. “It’s more about … eventually being able to see the life that it will change, raising their awareness to people with disabilities,” she says, noting that students learn parenting and leadership skills as well. As the PawPADs website states, “At the core of our organization is the belief that working with dogs can provide a therapeutic and lifeenhancing experience.”
IN THE BEGINNING
202646
PawPADs, which gets dogs through donations from shelters and breeders and via rescues, has been based in Savage for the last two years. In the late spring, as the school year was closing, Ball brought her organization’s dogs to Hidden Oaks for a showcase with students.
Ironically, the only group of training a dog, she says, she students who didn’t get to pet doesn’t start with the box at the puppies is the only one wall level. She begins with working with them regularly – the device at the dog’s level, Eve Gilder’s students. allowing the animal to become Gilder is a learning acquainted with it. Then the specialist and leads a class of dog works on flipping the students who are identified as switch. Once he or she has EBD, which means they have mastered that, only then does emotional and/or behavioral Ball move the device to wall disorders.

They leave her of them actively petting and brightly-decorated classroom, engaging with their dogs. tucked Ball’s deeply message away in a resonates corner of when it the middle comes time school, for the for their retrieval spectrum exercise. classes like Josh gym and art.

come back to those lessons even when the students’ fourlegged friends aren’t around. “The kids work on identifying different emotions, to what you see in animals and what you see in people,” she says. Only three visits into the program, Gilder has already noticed how the kids have internalized the teachings of Project YES! “I think they are much more aware of each other and how their behaviors affect other people,” she says. Avery Reynolds, a 13-yearold eighth-grader from Savage, has already witnessed her own growth through the program. “It’s already kind of changed me in a way,” she says. Reynolds says that working with the dogs has made her more patient with other people. She still needs to work, however, on being more patient with herself. Gilder likes her students to do some sort of community service each year, in part so that they are aware of the world around them. Project YES! combines that with palpable lessons the students can use to improve themselves. “I think kids tend to take more pride in their school if they give back,” she says. “It helps their whole attitude … Sometimes kids are not good at academics but they have other strengths. If you help them find those strengths, it helps them find academic strength.” Ball, who has seen the success of Project YES! firsthand in other schools, has watched the Hidden Oaks students attach to the program. She recalled an exchange with a student, frustrated because his dog was being “hyper” and not responding to commands. One of Ball’s assistants asked the student if the dog reminded him of anyone. “He said, ‘Me,’” Ball said. The teacher then asked the student if he thought it frustrated his teachers when he didn’t obey the rules. “The light bulb went off that he was hyper and all over the place,” she says. Those are the “teachable moments” Ball says she and her staff live for.

Eighth-grader Josh Lawrence of Prior Lake snuggles up to his dog Hania during a session of Project Youth Empowerment Services (YES)! Hidden Oaks Middle School has teamed up with Savage’s Pawsitive Perspectives Assistance Dogs (PawPADs) to have students train the nonprofit organization’s dogs. Many of Gilder’s students used the word “stress” when it came to education and being in the classroom, including Reynolds. “I learned that dogs have feelings too,” she says. “They get scared, stressed out and overwhelmed … I get really stressed out in class, too.” Hallie Sones, a 12-year-old seventh-grader from Savage, calls Project YES! “a good experience” but acknowledged that it hasn’t been easy. “It’s really stressful sometimes,” she says. “Our dog won’t sit and I get stressed out really easily ... Obviously, you can’t freak out at the dog. The same thing applies to people.” Not only is Sones learning to lighten up on other people when it comes to stress, she’s even treating her family’s 6-month-old puppy better. “I don’t yell at him as much anymore,” she says. “I think I learned that I am more patient than I thought I was and I’m looking forward to becoming even more patient, because patience is important.”

Gilder’s department is still working on a grant to fund the full-year program, which costs in the low fivefigures to maintain. “I think it would be really successful for everybody should it continue,” Gilder says. “What we’ve learned already are things we can use throughout the rest of the year.” The dogs typically take 24 to 30 months to train before they can be placed, Ball says, noting that sometimes she and her staff have to do some retraining after the dogs spend time with the students. For her, success in Project YES! isn’t about completing tasks. It’s “in those moments where, as you’re watching the progress and the attachment the kids form.” “Success for me is in those moments,” she says. “Sometimes they’re few and far between, but they’re there.”

BURNSVILLE-EAGAN-SAVAGE SCHOOL DISTRICT
Heading off to college with a pocketful of credits Many Burnsville High School graduates head off to their freshman year of college with something more valuable than an iPod, compact frig or Xbox. They’ve already earned college credits! There are several ways that our students can earn college credits while attending Burnsville High School. Students are very enthusiastic about the College in the Schools (CIS) program of the University of Minnesota. In fact, for several years Burnsville High School has ranked No. 1 in the state for participation in the program. Our students have taken more U of M classes through CIS and have earned more U of M credits than students from any other high school in the state. Approximately 150 schools participate in CIS including Eden Prairie, Hopkins, Eastview and White Bear Lake high schools. Last year through CIS, Burnsville High School students earned 2,687 credits valued at $1,012,193 – considerable savings in tuition for students and/or their families. But more importantly, these students gained firsthand experience with a faster pace of study and increased academic rigor, which will help them make a smoother transition from high school to college. It’s very

beneficial that our students can experience the high expectations of college while still in the comfort of their own school with the support of school staff and their families still in place. Students have other opportunities to earn college credits at Burnsville High School. Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered in several subject areas. After taking the rigorous AP class, students can take a national test. If they earn qualifying scores, they can receive college credits. New this year is the exciting opportunity for students to take a year-long nanotechnology class at Dakota County Technical College and earn credits. Nanotechnology is cuttingedge science that will affect an ever-increasing part of our lives. Students step into
the high-tech future with this class and gain a jump start into exciting career opportunities. We know that our high school students who take these rigorous college-level courses will be better prepared for academic success at colleges and universities. That’s why our Board of Education has set the goal of 75 percent of students taking a collegelevel course while still at Burnsville High School. Another goal is that 100 percent of our students will go on to further their education in some way upon graduating from Burnsville High School. This could be a community college, four-year college or university, apprenticeship, vocational school or other specialized area of training. We are preparing our students with the skills and knowledge they will need for post-secondary education and for the competitive, high-tech global economy they will live in. You can read more of the board’s operating goals at www.isd191.org. (Randy Clegg is superintendent of BurnsvilleEagan-Savage School District 191.

This fall’s public demonstrations were launched as “Occupy Wall Street,” and follow in the time-honored political traditions of modern cultures. Some examples include Concord, Mass.; Selma, Ala.; Tiananmen Square, China; Cairo, Egypt – people have risen up in massive numbers across the world to seek change. Whether you have joined them, or even disagree with their perspectives, as a democracy we all value the power of citizens to peacefully organize to seek justice and change. The energy of Occupy Wall Street-like gatherings is born in the increasing gap in our country between the rich and the poor, and a shared impatience with the lingering effects of our last recession. Wall Street in New York City, the geographic center of the United State’s Stock Exchange, is also home to many of the world’s largest financial institutions, some of which were involved in complex tinkering with mortgage lending that sparked our long economic slide. Too big to fail, our own tax dollars have been spent to bail out the biggest banks and other financial giants, as many of us watch our savings, pensions and home values shrink. We have all suffered, the poor disproportionately, and finding the villain in this melodrama seems like a natural thing to do. When at its best, the Christian community has traditionally been an advocate for the sick, imprisoned and the poor. Taking its mission from the example and command of Jesus, to tend to the sick and suffering, “the least of these,” it makes sense that activists and clergy from all parts of the faith have joined the demonstrations taking part around the country this fall.

SILVA-BREEN SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS
I celebrate the long legacy of Christian ministries that have sought to bring love, light and relief to those in need. I praise the clergy who gather in the streets with the protesters as witness and support for those who live, chant and demonstrate for change. But I won’t sit silently and let one particular claim I have seen recently in social media go unanswered: “Jesus was a Marxist.” No, he was not. Marxism is a modern political movement that has its roots in the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. They argued that human beings could establish a perfect economy if everyone shared their resources communally. A new movement called communism would follow a class struggle, a result of the failures of capitalism. Marx believed that religions are “the opiate of the people,” dulling their will to revolt. While these ideas do serve as a stark contrast to the rigid classes and oppressive, generational monarchies of old European and Asian cultures, the application of these ideas in real human cultures has failed. The Soviet Union, China, East Germany, Somalia, North Korea and Cuba have been cultures of oppression. The powerful hoard power. The weak are kept weak and anyone
opposing the powerful is kept behind bars, barbed wires and walls, or killed. Exactly what part of this broken political model would Jesus advocate? While Jesus constantly advocated for the sick, suffering and oppressed, he rejected the pressure to start a revolution or class war. In fact, he repeatedly said his “kingdom was not of this world.” Instead of setting up a new government, as some of his disciples believed he would, he lived on the margins of power and when confronted, told the Pharisees to “render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” Jesus’ vision of God’s kingdom is about bringing all people to God’s table: rich, poor, powerful, weak, visible and invisible. It pointed to a way of seeing the world far different than how human beings do. Jesus pointed to a kingdom of peace and justice that included women and children, the old and infirmed, the powerless and the powerful. This is God’s kingdom, not ours. When we live with this vision, we share in the vision of God. Jesus was a healer, a teacher, a sage, a prophet and a revolutionary, the Messiah who refused to lead a revolt. After a short life, he was executed because the earthly powers feared his kingdom of peace, healing, inclusion and non-violence. Call him a revolutionary for God. But for Jesus’ sake, don’t call him a Marxist. It’s just plain wrong. (Rev. Lynne Silva-Breen, M.Div., M.A., LMFT, served for over 20 years as a Lutheran parish pastor.

Stargazing BY AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com
T
hose mesmerizing stars in the sky really are just giant balls of gas, but we wish upon them, seek pictures in them and, for some, find our way by them. Stargazing is as old as Greek and Roman mythology, and in many cases, the names of planets, stars and constellations have come directly from primeval folklore: Hercules, Perseus and Andromeda – just to name a few. The ancient art of finding pictures in the night sky doesn’t have to be a mind-boggling, expensive hobby, according to Mike Lynch, WCCO meteorologist and professional stargazer. The first trick for city dwellers and suburbanites surrounded by light pollution is to allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness for 15 to 20 minutes. Look for Cassiopeia, that “W” in the sky, or Cepheus, the house with an upsidedown roof, Lynch tells students during the classes he teaches. “You have to use your imagination,” Lynch said. “There are about 40 constellations we can see right now and 66 throughout the year in Minnesota.” The most popular being the Big Dipper? Well, not quite. Did you know the Big and Little Dippers aren’t actually constellations? “The Big Dipper is the rear and tail of The Big Bear constellation, also known as Ursa Major,” Lynch said. But, if you can make out the “Big Dipper,” you’re seeing stars that range in distance from 80 to 150 light years away. “When we talk about stars, we don’t talk about miles. The numbers would
be too astronomical,” Lynch said with a chuckle. Instead, the distance to stars is measured in light years. One light year is equal to nearly 6 trillion miles. Beginning stargazers need only a cloudless night and some basic knowledge to get started. “Sit down in a lawn chair – even if there’s snow on the ground – and take on one direction of the sky at a time,” said Lynch. “So what if your neighbors think you’re crazy.” Star maps are helpful, and if you need a light, use a red flashlight. It won’t disturb your night vision. By locating a wellknown cluster
of stars like one of the dippers, it’s easier to use a star map to guide your search. Should you find yourself fascinated with the stars and ready for a closer look, Lynch recommends a simple refractory telescope of not less than $150. Fancier telescopes like Lynch’s “Big Daddy” have the ability to take photographs and come with a celestial object locater to help users find planets, star clusters, galaxies and more.
Apps for stargazers The GPS in smart phones allows users to hold their phones to the sky for a mini-map of stars and constellations in that direction.

‘PART OF THE COMMUNITY’ A concept plan for the memorial calls for names of each of Minnesota’s fallen fi refighters to be inscribed on columns as part of the memorial. It also includes the memorial sculpture currently at the airport, as well as other design features including a bench to use for sitting and a wall inscribed with the names of every fi re department in the state of Minnesota. The new memorial site will also have the capacity to accommodate large gatherings. The Minneapolis office of Leo A.

Glenn Waguespack, lead designer for the Minnesota firefighter memorial, refers to the area where the memorial would stand. His firm, the Minneapolis office of Leo A. Daly, an architectural firm involved in several well-known projects including the World War II memorial in Washington D.C., designed the concept for the memorial on a pro-bono basis. fi refighter memorial on a probono basis. Glenn Waguespack, lead designer on the project, said the challenge has been to design a sculpture that fits into the
large scope of the Capitol Mall while maintaining “significant symbolic meaning” in every aspect of the memorial, from the metal they use to construct it to working with lines in the
Capitol Mall’s geometry. “Firefighters are part of the community,” he said. “We are trying to create a new home [for the current memorial] reflecting that reality.”

Burnsville celebrates sophomore Alyssa Blahnik’s (4) game-winning goal in the second overtime in the Blaze’s 2-1 win over Edina in the Section 2AA title game Oct. 18.
Rallying for the title Blaze earns first section crown in 15 years BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com
Senior Kendra Drew scored her fi rst varsity goal. Sophomore Alyssa Blahnik scored her 46th. Their two dramatic goals were enough to lift the topseeded Burnsville girls soccer team to a thrilling 2-1 doubleovertime win over third-seeded Edina in the Section 2AA title game Oct. 18. The Blaze (15-4) earned its first trip to state in 15 years doing it the hard way – coming from behind late in the game against the wind. Drew, just called up from the junior varsity in the Blaze’s last regular season game, scored with 2:58 left to tie the game and send it into overtime. Her bullet shot came from about 25 yards out, made its way through traffic and into the upper corner of the net. I n t he second 10 -mi nute overtime, Blahnik received a perfect crossing pass from senior Bailly Drayton. She was able to stop, gain control of the ball and zip a shot from 15 yards out into the corner of the net. A jubilant celebration ensued in front of the Blaze’s home crowd.
“It was either going high or going in. It went in and we were back in the game.” Kendra Drew Blaze senior “I’m very happy for Kendra,” said Blaze coach John Soderholm. “She’s come up from the junior varsity and worked very hard. All the girls have worked hard for this. “Edina played very well,” added Soderholm. “We came out and had a plan, but they were outplaying us. The girls kept fighting hard and in the second half we had some nice combination passes and we started getting some opportunities. They may have gotten a little panicky with the ball late in the game and we took advantage.” Drew didn’t hesitate when the ball found her late in the game. “I just let it go,” said Drew. “It was either going high or going in. It went in and we were back in the game. Then we pulled it out in overtime.” Edina scored 10 minutes into the game and pretty much had control in the second half up until the last eight minutes
when the Blaze started to create more chances. Junior goalie Meghann Rudolph gave up the early goal, but fi nished with seven saves to keep the Blaze close until the end. The Blaze’s defenders – senior Hannah Freden, juniors Natalie Muench and Sarah Poythress and sophomore Hannah Keirstead – also did a nice job of limiting Edina’s chances as the game went on. Blahnik, Drayton, junior Tiana Khamvongsa and sophomore Abby Soderholm started to assert themselves more later in the game and in the overtime, before Blahnik scored her teambest 30th goal of the season and sixth in the three section wins. “You can never count out Alyssa; she’s a great player,” said Soderholm. “She took a lot of shots and sooner or later she’s going to hit one. Bailly made a nice play on the cross to set her up.” The Class AA state tournament starts Wednesday, Oct. 26 with quarterfi nal games also Oct. 27 and 28. The top-four teams are seeded and those come out Sunday, Oct. 23. The other seven section winners are: Lakeville North (170-2), Eastview (13-2-4), Woodbury (16-3), Centennial (16-1-2), Wayzata (15-2-2), Blaine (10-5-2)
Burnsville junior Sarah Poythress fights for the ball in the Blaze’s 2-1 win in the Section 2AA title game Oct. 18. and Anoka (10-5-4). The semifi nals are Oct. 31 in the Metrodome in Minneapolis with the title game Nov. 3. Burnsville’s last state title is 1993 when it the program earned back-toback crowns. M e a nwh i le , B u r n s v i l le earned its way to the title game with a 4-0 win over eighth-seeded Bloomington Kennedy in the quarterfinals Oct. 13 and a 2-0 win over fourth-seeded Prior Lake in the semifinals Oct. 15.

The Prior Lake football team’s bid for the South Suburban Conference title and the No. 1 seed in Section 3AAAAA was stymied Oct. 19. Fourth-ranked Lakeville North’s defense bended, but never broke in a 21-3 road win over the Lakers. The Panthers (8-0) capped off a perfect 7-0 conference season, while the Lakers ended up 5-2 in league play. The Lakers went into the game on the heels of perhaps their biggest win in the six years under coach Matt Gegenheimer, 28-7 at Lakeville South Oct. 14. The Cougars were ranked No. 8 in the state at the time. If Prior Lake could have pulled the upset over Lakeville North, the section’s No. 1 seed would have likely gone its way since Rosemount fell 28-7 to Eagan in the fi nal week. But both the Irish and Lakers fi nished 5-3 overall. And si nce Rosemou nt had t he head-to -head win (13 - 6 in Week 3), the Irish, the defending section champs, got the first-round bye and the top seed. The Lakers got the No. 2 seed and will face seventhseeded Bloomington Jefferson in the quarterfi nals at home Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. Other quarterfi nal games are third-seeded Bloomington Kennedy (3-5) versus sixthseeded Apple Valley (1-7) and fourth-seeded Eastview versus fifth-seeded Burnsville (2-6). The section semifi nals are set for Oct. 29 at the higher seed. The title game is Nov. 4 at the higher seed. In the loss to Lakeville North, Prior Lake rolled up 197 yards on the ground and 258 yards total offense. Junior Jack Johnson had his second straight 100-yard game, rushing 21 times for 122 yards. Senior Jack Kaiser had 19 carries for 80 yards. The Lakers just couldn’t score. Four turnovers didn’t help, three in the fi rst half. However, Prior Lake trailed just 7-3 at the break, despite Lakeville North having the ball deep inside Lakers’ territory three times and coming away with no points. In fact, the Panthers’ fi rst touchdown came on a tipped pass 64 seconds into the game. It went for 72 yards. The ball bounced off a Lakers’ defender and into the hands of Charlie

Hayes, who took it the distance. Lakeville North quarterback Trey Heid hit Hayes on a 57-yard scoring pass midway through the third quarter for a 14-3 lead. Prior Lake’s points came on a 28-yard field goal from junior Eric Tusa in the second quarter. But even those points were a gift. Tusa missed from 33 yards out, but a Wayzata penalty gave him a second chance five yards closer. Sophomore Nick Rooney completed 6 of 17 passes for 61 yards. Three went to Kaiser for 29 yards, while two went to senior Matt Arends for 20 yards. Senior Karmichael Dunbar led the Lakers with eight tackles, while senior Jake Deavers had seven. Senior Taylor Case had an interception. Meanwhile, in the win over Lakeville South, Prior Lake spotted the Cougars a 7-0 lead in the first quarter before reeling off 28 straight points. Prior Lake made a statement on its first scoring drive. It went 76 yards on 17 plays, chewing up 7:48 on the clock. It converted two fourth downs and was capped off by Johnson’s 2-yard scoring run.

Blaze’s O’Brien wins SSC race; Hett leads girls BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com
The South Suburban Conference Championships turned into a two-runner duel Oct. 14 between seniors Cole O’Brien and Jan Ketterson. O’Brien was able to pull away from Ketterson in the fi nal 500 meters to successfully defend his title, leading his Burnsville boys cross country team to a third-place fi nish in the team standings. O’Brien fi nished the 5,000meter course at Eagan High School with a time of 16 minutes, 4.7 seconds, which was seven seconds ahead of Ketterson. The two runners came into the meet ranked No. 2 and 3, respectively in the Class AA state individual poll.
Meanwhile, No. 2-ranked Rosemount came in as the highest ranked team and ran away with the title fi nishing with 49 points. Ninth-ranked Eastview was second (72), followed by the No. 10 Blaze (98). Lakeville North ended up fourth (105), followed by Lakeville South (135), Ketterson’s Jefferson team (173), Apple Valley (177), Eagan (200), Prior Lake (218) and Bloomington Kennedy (232). O’Brien and Ketterson will meet again in the Section 3AA meet Wednesday, Oct. 26 at the University of Minnesota’s Les Bolstad Golf Course at 2 :15 p.m. The Blaze will need to track down either Eastview or Rosemount to earn one of the two state team spots. Burnsville will be seeking its fourth straight state berth.
The Blaze was competing at conference without one of its top runners in ninth-grader Ali Ahmed, who is expected back for sections. The Blaze had three in the top 10 in the conference race with ninth-grader Faysol Mamoud in seventh (16:50.8) and senior Abdul Salan in eighth (16:50.9). Junior Shawn Wong ended up 27th (17:33.1), followed by junior Jake Stevens in 58th (18:35.3). Also competing for the Blaze: sophomore Johnny Walker (60th, 18:37.6), sophomore Sam Houchins (63rd, 18:43.2), senior Justin Duda (66th, 18:52.9), senior Paul Frieler (70th, 18:57.1) and sophomore Jake Odom (79th, 19:15.2).

The Prior Lake girls tennis team picked the wrong time to lose its fi rst match of the season. Seeking their first state berth in 20 years, instead the top-seeded Lakers suffered an emotional 4-3 loss to thirdseeded Rosemount in the Section 3AA title match Oct. 13 at Lifetime Fitness in Lakeville. It was a tearful ending to otherwise outstanding season for the Lakers, who fi nished 18-1, including winning the South Suburban Conference title (9-0).
The 18 wins set a new school record, breaking the Lakers’ 1991 team’s mark of 15. However, that 1991 squad was able to get to state. Rosemou nt was able to reverse a 4-3 loss to the Lakers during the conference season. It’s also the second straight year the Irish eliminated the Lakers in the playoffs, doing so last fall in the semifi nals. “We just could not quite get over our nerves and get the job done,” said Lakers coach Kris Rosborough.

Girls tennis: Blaze wins two of six The Burnsville girls tennis team won two of si x matches in the first two rounds of the Section 3AA individual tournament Oct. 14 at Lifetime Fitness in Lakeville. The Blaze had one singles player and one doubles team win in the fi rst round, but then both lost in round two. Junior Emily Wollmuth opened with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Emily Doyle of Visitation, before losing in the next round to sixth-seeded Laura Sonday of South St. Paul (6-2, 6-0). Senior Brita Preus lost in the fi rst round to eighthseeded Dani Keller of Prior Lake (6-0, 6-0).

Swimming: Blaze girls drop SSC dual T h e B u r n s v i l le g i rl s swimming team picked up six wins in its South Suburban Conference dual meet at Lakeville North Oct. 18. It wasn’t nearly enough to win. The Panthers also had six wins (one in diving), but had too much depth en route to a 92.5-82.5 victory. The Blaze dropped to 1-7 in conference duals (2-7 overall) with one more left – at Bloomington Jefferson Thursday, Oct. 27 at 6 p.m. Burnsville will get some time to rest before the Section 3AA meet, which starts Nov. 9 with the prelims followed by the fi nals two days later. Earning two wins against Lakeville North were junior A nna Elling and eighthgrader Angela Le. Le won the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2 minutes, 16.9 seconds and the 100 freestyle (55.22). Elling won the 50 freestyle (25.53) and the 10 0 backstroke (1:02.86). The Blaze’s other individual win came from senior Teresa DiGregorio, who took the 100 butterf ly (1:02.84). She was also second in the 100 breaststroke (1:14.87). The Blaze’s relay victory came from the 400 freestyle team of Le, ninth-grader Sarah Jacobson and sophomores AJ Keefe and Molly Calhoun (3:44.14). Burnsville had a relay in the 200 medley get disqualified. Ei g ht h- g r ader Sid ney Christopherson was also second in the 500 freestyle (5:49.17).
The Prior Lake girls swimming team has been a busy bunch. The Lakers competed in three competitions in five days, including the Class AA State True Team meet Oct. 19 at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. It was the Lakers’ fourth straight appearance there. It earned its way to 12-team meet by winning the Section 2AA True Team crown Oct. 15 in Bloomington. Prior Lake finished sixth last year at the state true team and ninth the previous two years. This time around, the eighth-ranked Lakers ended up sixth again with 1,353.5 points. Second-ranked Stillwater won the title (2,254.5), followed by No. 1 Edina (2,167.5), No. 4 Wayzata (2,064), No. 3 Minnetonka (1,857) and No. 9 Maple Grove (1,456.5). Centennial ended up seventh (1,310), followed by Mounds View (1,231.5), No. 6 Rosemount (1,201), Eastview (1,132), No. 7 Rochester John Marshall (1,057.5) and Forest Lake (528). The Lakers’ best finish came from junior Alex Yaeger, who took third in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 58.54 seconds. She was also 10th in the 500 freestyle (5:21.42). Yaeger didn’t compete in the section true team, while also missing three previous South Suburban Conference duals before that for undisclosed team reasons.

The Wildcats scored 10 points in the second half, including a nine-yard fumble return for a touchdown to lead 31-0. Sophomore Ben Sherman replaced Motl at cornerback and as the team’s punter. He also led the Blaze on the ground with 79 yards on 10 carries. I n t he loss to L a kevi l le South, senior Lavonte Sudberry led the Blaze on the ground with 26 yards on three carries, while senior Justin Kunzar had 25 yards. Baker fi nished 1 for 2 with the 18-yard scoring pass. Reger was 3 for 6 for just 12 yards. The two were sacked a combined four times. Lakeville South had 20 fi rst downs compared to Burnsville’s eight, totaling 386 yards of total offense, while the Blaze had just 67.
Prior Lake took a 14 -7 lead going into half. The score was set up by junior l i nebacker D yl a n C ole’s interception near midfield on a throw near the sideline from Mitchell Leidner, the University of Minnesota recruit. That led to Kaiser’s 7-yard scoring run with a minute to play in the half, his teambest ninth of the year. Prior Lake’s defense dominated from the second quarter on. Junior Elijah Patrick and Deavers each had sacks in the fi rst half, helping to halt two Cougar drives. M e a nw h i l e , J o h n s o n rumbled all game. He finished with 116 yards on 23 carries, adding two secondhalf touchdowns, one from eight yards out in the third quarter and a yard out in the fourth. Kaiser finished with 92 yards on 15 carries, while junior Trevor Maxwell had 36 yards on seven carries. Prior Lake attempted only four passes, completing two for 14 yards. That’s how much the Lakers were dominating the line of scrimmage – on both sides of the ball. Arends had one catch for 10 yards. Rooney played the whole game at quarterback. Senior Topher Rose was out with a concussion. He also didn’t play against Lakeville North. Deavers was all over the field on defense, finishing with 15 tackles, while Patrick and senior Ted Choudek each had eight and Arends, Cole and Dunbar each had seven. Dunbar also had a sack, while Patrick and junior Parker Anderson each combined for another one.

Blaze drops its last two games, earns the No. 5 seed in section BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com
The Burnsville football team limps into the postseason, losing its last two regular season games by a combined margin of 74-7. The Blaze suffered a 43-7 setback at home Oct. 19 to Lakeville South, after getting blown out 31-0 the week before at Eagan. Life without quarterback Dan Motl has been rough. The senior injured his kidney in the Blaze’s 36-29 home win over Eastview in Week 6. The offense has produced one touchdown since. Junior Ben Baker hit senior Brian Vanderwoude on an 18-yard scoring pass in the fourth quarter against Lakeville South. T he C ou g a r s s c or e d 2 0 points in the second quarter and tacked on 21 more in the third, getting five touchdown passes, all from 20 or more yards, from senior quarterback Mitch Leidner. The Blaze will take a 2-6 record in the Section 3AAAAA quarterfinals. The Blaze earned the No. 5 seed and will play at fourth-seeded Eastview Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. Rosemount (5-3) earned the No. 1 seed and will get a fi rstround bye. Prior Lake (5-3) is seeded No. 2 and will face seventh-seeded Bloomington

Section semifinals are Oct. 29 at the site of the higher seed at 7 p.m. The title game is Nov. 4. Before Motl got injured, the Blaze looked like it was turning the corner and had the makings of a dangerous playof f team. Three of the team’s early losses were by a combined eight points, including 13-10 to Prior Lake and 17-14 at No. 4-ranked and unbeaten Lakeville North. But depth was never on the Blaze’s side this fall and losing Motl has hurt it even more. He also started at cornerback, was the team’s punter and field goal kicker. Baker and sophomore Will Reger have shared the quarterback duties the last two weeks. In the Blaze’s loss to Eagan, the two went a combined 0 for 7 with a pick. Just like Leidner dominated the Blaze, so did Eagan quarterback Drew Bauer. He ran for two touchdowns and threw for another, all in the fi rst half. “(Eagan’s) quarterback is a special player,” said Blaze coach Tyler Krebs. “He’s a horse. He can run and throw. Eagan could have very easily been 4-2 (going goals in beating Prior Lake, one in each half. Rudolph earned the shutout in goal. Drayton and K hamvongsa each had assists.

The Prior Lake boys soccer team went into the Section 2AA semifinals needing pretty much a perfect game to pull off the upset of top-seeded Bloomington Jefferson. It didn’t happen. The No. 4-ranked Jaguars rolled to a 3-0 victory over the fourthseeded Lakers. Prior Lake was playing well going into the game, winning eight of its last 10 games, including a 1-0 overtime over Bloomington Kennedy in the quarterfinals Oct. 13. The Lakers fi nished the season with an 11-7 mark (5-4 in the South Suburban Conference). Jefferson scored the fi rst goal with 18 minutes left in the first half. It broke the game open with a pair of goals about five minutes apart midway through the second half. S en ior A ndy R ie ckof f started in goal for the Lakers. He started all 18 games this season for the Lakers, posting five shutouts. Prior Lake will lose some strong seniors next year – Rieckof f, Zack Fennessy, Kevin Krueger, Connor Anderson, Joe Fonseca, Jack Peterson, Ben Clements and Konner Klausen. But there’s still plenty of talent back that will to keep the Lakers relevant again in the conference and in the section, including juniors Cameron Pratt, Logan Bunbury, Erik Fenske, Mitch Trotman, Dylan Lehrer and Sam Verity and sophomores Nic Kramer and Jhony Blanco. Junior Tim Schwanbeck will likely be the first in line to take over in goal for Rieckoff. Meanwhile, against Kennedy, Pratt scored the gamewi n ni ng goa l. Fen nessy played the ball in and Pratt got to the end of the kick and was able to put the ball away into an open net.
Girls soccer: Lakers fall short in semis If the Prior Lake girls soccer team was to advance in the Section 2AA playoffs, it needed to do one big thing Oct. 15. Stop Burnsville sophomore Alyssa Blahnik. That’s easier said than done. Blahnik scored a fi rsthalf goal and another in the second half to lead the topseeded Blaze to a 2-0 win over the fourth-seeded Lakers in the semifi nals. Blahnik went into the game with 27 goals scored, eight more than the entire Lakers’ team. Prior Lake earned a spot in the semifi nals with a 1-0 win over fi fth-seeded Bloomington Jefferson in the quarterfi nals Oct. 11. Prior Lake finished the season 8-8-2 overall mark (2-5-2 in the South Suburban Conference). The Lakers were a young squad with only four se niors – Alex Angelo, Gabbi Norman, Molly Simpkins and Darian Haider. So the future is bright for the Lakers if the team continues to improve. It has one of the better goalies in the conference in sophomore Lauren Thormodsgard, who had seven shutouts on the year, starting all 18 games. The Lakers’ three leading scorers were Norman, sophomore Anne Ruelle and ninthgrader Emily Peterson, who each had three. Norman had the gamewinning goal against Jefferson, scoring in the first half. Ruelle and junior Hannah Ward each had three assists, while ninth-grader Kaija Ornes had two goals and two assists on the year. Ward also scored two goals. Getting one goal for the Lakers this year was: Simpkins, junior Larissa Gabler, sophomores Taylor Kelly, Samantha Provost and Sabrina Hille and ninth-grader Taylor Elshaw. Junior Gabrielle Bjorge wi l l back to a nchor t he defense, along with ninthgrader Lindsey Harris and sophomores Macey Violet and Hailey Zweber.

Lakeville North is the defending champion.
The Prior Lake volleyball team’s strong fi nish was likely the difference in it getting the No. 6 seed in the Section 2AAA tournament. The Lakers went 3-2 in their last five matches, including a win over Chaska at the Eastview Invitational Oct. 15 and victory over Burnsville in their fi nal South Suburban Conference match Oct. 18. Prior Lake’s streng th of schedule – 12 matches against ranked opponents from all three classes – was deemed more impressive than seventhseeded Buffalo’s 19 wins and Chaska’s 12, despite the Lakers’ 10-16 mark. The Lakers swept Chaska in both meetings this season. Prior Lake (2-7 in the conference) will face 11th-seeded Mankato West (9-17-1) at home in the fi rst round Wednesday, Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. If the Lakers win, they’ll play at third-seeded Chanhassen (20-4) in the quarterfi nals Friday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. Fifth-ranked Shakopee (23-3) got the No. 1 seed and will face winner of eighth-seeded Chaska (12-10) and ninth-seeded Willmar (9-10) in the quarterfi nals Oct. 28.

Burnsville bowlers win consolation title
Prior Lake senior Josh Schaffer finished 40th at the conference meet Oct. 14. and ninth-grader Ben Garrison (88th, 20:52.4). The boys’ section meet is also Oct. 26 at Les Bolstad at 2:15 p.m. The Laker boys also ran at the Dundee invite, taking sixth with 158 points. Minnetonka won (48). Running for the Lakers were: Schaffer (3rd, 17:47), Rahmani (33rd, 19 : 03), junior Josiah Torvik (39th, 19:22), sophomore Adam Babcock (40th, 19:29) and Cunningham (44th, 19:50).
“We had six match points at No. 2 doubles and could not win. Two singles and four singles also really had their chances, but lost to two good players. “(Rosemount) really hung in there well, but we just could not quite close it out,” added Rosborough. “All the girls returning next year will only let this fire them up that much more because we do not want to be in this position next year. We have a really young and hard working team and I know we can make it to state next year. Right now, however, that does not make the loss any less painful.” Four of the seven matches, including all three in doubles, went three sets. Prior Lake lost three of four in singles with ninth-grader Dani Keller winning at No. 3 in straight sets (6-3, 6-2). Prior Lake’s No. 3 doubles team of sophomore Nikki Henderson and eighth-grader Sydney Soeffker capped off a perfect 19-0 season, winning in three sets at No. 3 doubles (6-3, 6-7, 6-1). At No. 1 doubles, junior Savanna Petersen and eighthgrader Grayce Petersen rallied from a first-set loss (6-4) to win the next two (6-0, 6-4). Rosemount won in straight sets at No. 1 and 2 singles. P rior Lake eight h-g rader Chloe Hall lost at No. 1 (6-2, 6 - 0), while seventh-grader Savanna Crowell fell at No. 2 (6-3, 6-4). The two swing matches appeared to be No. 4 singles and No. 2 doubles. Prior Lake sophomore Sarah Henderson tried to rally at four singles with the overall match tied at three wins apiece. She lost the fi rst set (6-3) and won the second one (6-4). She was down 5-2 in the third set and won two straight games to keep the Lakers’ hopes alive. But she lost the next game and the set (6-4). Meanwhile, at two doubles, Prior Lake seniors Alex Fask-
ing and Caitlyn Gengler won the fi rst set easily (6-2) and were up 4-2 and 6 -5 in the second one. But Rosemount railed to win the set (7-6) in a tiebreaker (7-5) and then took the third set 6-1. It was a tough, emotional ending for the stellar careers of Fasking and Gengler, who have played a big part in the rise of the Lakers’ program. Prior Lake has a 30-6 record in two seasons under Rosborough. Fasking and Gengler were the Lakers’ only two seniors. The team had 10 sophomores or younger in its top 13.
SECTION INDIVIDUALS Meanwhile, in the Section 3AA individual tournament, the Lakers won nine of 13 matches, but earned no state berths. Hall and Crowell had the Lakers’ best finish. Seeded No. 6 in doubles, they ended up third with a 4 -1 mark. Crowell and Hall lost in the semifi nals (6-4, 6-1) to secondseeded Elizabeta Zeleninia and Var vara Zeleninia of Eagan. They came back to win the third-place match (5-7, 6-3, 6-3) over fi fth-seeded Jordan Kopfer and Mariah Lavold of Eastview. Hall and Crowell won in straight sets in the fi rst three rounds, beating third-seeded Kirsten Hoffman and Alison Baker of Rosemount in the quarterfi nals (6-1, 6-4). The fourth-seeded Petersen sisters went 2-1 in doubles, winning in straight sets in the fi rst two rounds, before getting knocked out in the quarterfinals by Kopfer and Lavold (6-2, 6-1). The Petersens had an 18-4 mark on the year. I n si n g le s, Kel ler wa s seeded eighth and lost in the quarterfinals to top-seeded Virginia Norder (6 - 0, 6 -1). Keller won in straight sets in the fi rst two rounds fi nishing with a 20-2 record. Sarah Henderson also competed in singles. She opened with a straight-set win, but was eliminated by secondseeded Danielle Donahue in the second round (6-0, 6-1).
