SAVAGE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
ELECTION 2011
Cast your vote Tuesday, Nov. 8 New downtown district becomes focus area of study BY AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com
The Savage Economic Development Authority (EDA) agreed Oct. 17 that the downtown area could benefit from the creation of an economic development district. The boundaries of the economic development dist rict fol low t he commercially-zoned areas of downtown and the EDA named the area, “Hamilton District No. 1.” “One of the main reasons we want to do this is to show the downtown business community that we do continue to have a very serious interest in making investments into our downtown,” said City Administrator Barry Stock. By creating a district, the city
“One of the main reasons we want to do this is to show the downtown business community that we do continue to have a very serious interest in making investments into our downtown.” Barry Stock
would have access to development and redevelopment “tools.” Some of those tools could include tax abatement, tax increment fi nancing or “other tools available through state statute to assist in making the property developable,” according to Stock. T he EDA is the city’s of f icia l decision-making body when it comes to economic development and is comprised of city council members. The Economic Development Commission (EDC) will further study the district in conjunction with the Hamilton Area Revitalization Plan at its Nov. 16 meeting. The Hamilton Area Revitalization Plan was a study completed in 2000 that specified land use in the area and redevelopment ideas. The EDC will consider hiring a consultant to assist in the process, which Stock said cou ld i nclude updating the plan, planning focus group meetings with business and property owners, and developing a direction for further investments in the area.
Voters in Savage will select two council members for four-year City Council terms from three candidates: newcomer Joe Julius, and incumbents Christine Kelly and Al McColl. Mayor Janet Williams will run unopposed for another four-year term; however, voters have the option of a write-in vote. Four candidates are also running for three, four-year term seats on the Shakopee School Board: Reggie Bowerman, Jeremy Casper, Matt McKeand and Angela Tucker. The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District will have a question on the ballot asking voters to renew an existing levy. The current levy is set to expire in 2013, and the district estimates that non-renewal by that time would result in the loss of about $10 million in operating funds.

Stock noted that “blogs” and other information “out there” have suggested that the city is trying to make Savage’s downtown area like Stillwater. “It will never be like downtown Stillwater. That’s not our objective,” said Stock. “Our objective is to make it as vital as we can and as economically prosperous as possible.”

Predatory offender moves to Savage, notification meeting Nov. 9 BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com
One day after Savage police alerted the public about a Level 3 Predatory Offender moving to Savage, a community notification meeting was scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 9 at Savage City Hall, 6000 McColl Drive. The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. The Savage Police Department issued a press release Nov. 1 announcing that the offender, George Robert
Van Fossen, moved into the 13700 block of Yosemite Avenue S out h t h at s a m e day. Van Fossen, 55, contacted the Savage Police Department Oct. 31 to noti f y of f ic ers of his plan to move to George Savage, which is reVan Fossen quired by state law. Van Fossen’s previous registered
address was in Minneapolis. Van Fossen was convicted in 2001 of having sexual contact with an 8-year-old girl while she stayed at his home overnight. The offense included fondling and penetration. “Van Fossen completed his prison sentence and is no longer under any formal supervision. He is not wanted by law enforcement,” Savage Police Capt. Dave Muelken said in the press release. At the community notification meeting, the department will provide
additional details about Van Fossen, give safety tips and answer residents’ questions. Community notification meetings are required by state law when a Level 3 Predatory Offender moves into a community. A representative from the Minnesota Department of Corrections will also speak at the meeting and answer questions. This is the second time this year the Savage Police Department has held a predatory offender meeting. In January, a community notification meeting was held in response to the

likes frozen yogurt, vegetarian pizza, bagels and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, the latter of which she received when Katie and Monica took her trick-or-treating on Halloween. Helen, who dressed as a witch while Katie and Monica were German barmaids, had gone trick-ortreating in her homeland, but it was a decidedly different experience. “In Germany, I’m living in a village,” she said. “I’m living with older persons, so they’ve never heard of Halloween.” Helen’s village is similar to a row of townhomes here. All the houses are connected, one next to the other, in rows. In contrast, the Johnsons’ neighborhood has hills with sprawling homes sitting on the peaks. Katie and Monica drive their red car to school. Helen hops on a bicycle. Though there are vast geographical and figurative miles between her life and the ones of her host sisters, much about Helen’s daily life could be ripped from a PLHS yearbook. She knows American slang and reads the German versions of many popular American magazines, including Glamour, Cosmopolitan and Self. “I like to play tennis,” she says. “I like to meet my friends, and we go to the café or the cinema or the disco, because we’re old enough.”

real wonders of American culture: cuisine and consumerism. According to Pope, those two things tend to be favorites of German exchange students. “Students are amazed at how large everything is and how friendly and helpful Americans are,” she said. “They like the food and the supportiveness and sense of community the students show to each other during sporting events and during their freetime activities.” Helen appears to have an appreciation for those things as well. “Shopping,” Helen answered when asked what activity she was most excited about doing in Minnesota. “I think the shops are completely different here and everything is so cheap.” Helen noted that she packed lightly, just so she’d have room to haul some goods back to Heinsberg, the village where she and her peers live. “I’m excited to go to the mall with her,” Katie said. “I’m not a big shopper, but I want to see if our clothes are the same.” Monica is eager to take Helen to the Twin Cities, including the University of Minnesota campus, where Monica takes an English literature class as a postsecondary student. “She can tell the difference between high school and college students,” Monica said before making a crack about the gulf in maturity between the groups. “I think that’s no different than Germany,” Helen added, laughing. As for the food, Helen – who is a vegetarian – has already found some favorites. She

LETTERS FROM READERS
COMMUNITY VOICES
CITY OF SAVAGE
Separation of church and everything?
Setting the record straight on properties Last week (Oct. 29), a letter to the editor referenced the amount of property the city of Savage owns and specifically mentioned the Hamilton Building, Glendale Place and the Savage Depot. As both a Savage City Council member and an appointed commissioner of the Scott County Community Development Agency (CDA) representing Savage, I would like to set the record straight. The Hamilton Building and Glendale Place were built by the Scott County CDA, not the city. The city of Savage is the master lease tenant on the fi rst floor of the Hamilton Building, but does not own either building. The city, in cooperation with the Dan Patch Historical Society, bought the Depot downtown. A special fund was established to track the revenue and expenses for the Depot, which does not impact the city’s operating budget or its tax levy. The Oct. 29 letter also referenced the city’s negotiation for the post office building. This was initiated when the U.S. Postal Service announced that Savage was among locations slated to close. Although discussions have occurred, there is no signed purchase agreement at this time. Any agreement to purchase the post office building would be contingent upon the U.S. Postal Service maintaining services at this location for a minimum number of years. That’s a huge benefit for our community. Any purchase agreement also must cover all operating costs and ensure that the building can pay for itself over the long term with no impact on our tax payers. In addition to keeping the post office open, a purchase of this building by the city would assist in preserving the integrity of the city hall campus. From a policy standpoint, the city of Savage generally considers limited strategic purchases or developments that protect or provide amenities for our residents, or that strengthen areas of the city to create momentum and a ripple effect of business activity. The city, with its limited development activity, does not put itself in competition with private business but may step in where private business cannot or will not. In all cases, the investment by the city is carefully evaluated to create the greatest benefit – and the least risk – for its residents.

DISTRICT 719
Teachers valued at Wolf Ridge As one of the founding members of the Friends of Wolf Ridge, I want to state a few points that I feel were left out of the article on the Wolf Ridge trip funding last week. Friends of Wolf Ridge was founded by a group of parents who chaperoned the Wolf Ridge environmental trip. When we heard that this trip was cut due to district budget constraints, we immediately gathered and brainstormed ways to raise funds to cover the teachers’ pay. Kari Klima, Diane Ramsey and I, along with other parents, joined with the Prior Lake-Savage Area Education Foundation as our “head” so we could carry a nonprofit status and apply for various grants. In last week’s article, it states that 125 parents and teachers attend this trip each year. This seems like we are paying for 125 people with Friends of Wolf Ridge money. Only 21 of these are classroom teachers. Approximately three or four teachers per elementary school attend; we send six schools of fi fth-graders, totaling 550-plus students each year. Parent chaperones are essential for the experience and the safety of the children. Chaperone tuitions are paid for through fundraising. With just one teacher attending per fifth-grade class (22-30 students), parents go in part to keep an adult in each sleeping quarter. Students are
broken down to smaller groups of 12 to 15 for daily classes. Chaperones play a critical role as leaders and dorm parents. Without chaperones’ tireless efforts and willingness to be with the students all day, teachers could not complete their duties. Teachers go between classes all over the 100-plus acre campus to join their students, as well as deal with discipline, planning activities, administration of health and medication and student illness. As a parent chaperone, I can appreciate the amount of work it takes to plan, facilitate and prepare a trip of this magnitude. The teachers run two major fundraisers that profit over $60,000 yearly. They start preparing students and families in fourth grade. A great deal of time is spent raising scholarship money so that all students can attend regardless of socioeconomic status. Teachers are the last ones to bed at night and are first to rise. Teacher interaction is amazing and in some cases affects the kids for a lifetime. I understand the want to explore ways to reduce costs so that the program can last for many years to come and keep this 30-plus year tradition alive. However, without the teachers, there is no trip. Without their hard work, dedication, time and yes, love for our fifth-grade children, this trip would not be a success. Some people must agree, because we have been able to keep this trip going forward for the last five years since it was cut. Grants, personal donations, PTC involvement and special fundraising have enabled this program to continue. In my opinion, the Wolf Ridge experience should continue. Friends of Wolf Ridge, with the help of volunteers, grants and donations, is one of the vessels to make this happen.

BRACEWELL COMMUNITY VOICES
called for social reforms. Christians, whose convictions adhered to more traditional morality, felt a need to act and rallied around Jimmy Carter, who announced openly that he was born again. Carter had a choice. With social issues in the forefront as never before, he had to choose whether or not to implement his personal convictions in public policy. Carter chose the democratic platform. By the 1980s, traditional Christians found their values shunned by the Democratic Party, but welcomed by the Republican Party with the leadership of Ronald Reagan. The two parties have become more culturally polarized ever since. The media elite have thought for years that old-time religion is on its way out and a dichotomy has developed in their approach to religious issues, as we saw in the last presidential election. In 2008, Mitt Romney faced fierce interrogation about his Mormon faith, particularly an old Mormon bylaw, which discriminated against blacks. The bylaw had been off the books for 30 years, but because Romney was a practicing Mormon at the time, they wanted to know
why he didn’t do something about it back then. A short time later, word got out about racist remarks made by Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s pastor and mentor of 20 years. Public broadcasters eagerly gave Rev. Wright a chance to smooth things over in an interview, and were shocked by more racial vitriol. After trying to equivocate his pastor’s rhetoric with remarks by his white grandmother, Obama eventually said, “That’s not the man I met 20 years ago.” The press forgot about Wright in 30 days, but they remembered the Mormon bylaw for 30 years post mortem. In his 1985 album, “On the Fritz,” Steve Taylor identified the kind of religious belief the press finds acceptable: “I’m devout, I’m sincere and I’m proud to say, that it has no effect on what I am today. I believe for the benefit of all mankind, in the total separation of church and mind.” The political left and their friends in the news media thought that the likes of Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry would be extinct by now. Ironically, Bachmann and Perry are former democrats. Michele Bachmann worked for the Jimmy Carter campaign and Rick Perry worked for Al Gore. They are not leftovers from another era. Their convictions transcend party politics. That’s what drives the hyperbole and outrageous accusations. Today’s secular elite join the long history of those who persecute Christians for believing in someone higher than themselves.

POLITICS
Questions Kline’s representation I want to thank Barbara Mahowald for writing about how our Congressman John Kline fi nds ways to help lobbyists of the private colleges who fund his campaigns, but hurt our college students. (Letter to the Editor, Oct. 29.) With the private colleges being his “Money Base” and the students being mere constituents in his district, I must say, Mr. Kline is consistent. John Kline had continually found ways to help his “Money Base” to the detriment of his mere constituents since he was elected to Congress. Mr. Kline has refused to work to bring highway construction funds, school construction funds, funds for our local governments (the list goes on and on) by saying he is fi scally conservative and will not take earmarks. This has hurt our local infrastructure and cost our area numerous jobs which went elsewhere. We are his mere local constituents, but he was one of the people responsible for passing tax cuts that benefitted mostly his “Money Base,” the rich, large corporations and the energy industry. Tax cuts in this area have caused trillions of dollars in lost federal revenue. These tax cuts are now one of the main causes of our federal budget problems and the huge national debt. Talk about irony, Mr. Kline is a major cause of the federal budget and debt problems, but he was one of the members of Congress who almost shut down our federal government due to these same budget and debt problems. Mr. Kline refuses to consider any bills to raise revenue which might affect his “Money Base.” Instead bills which include decimating Medicare and cutting funding for other programs that help his mere local constituents are totally acceptable. As I said before, he is consistent. Please, as his constituents, look at Mr. Kline’s record closely and ask yourself if he has been a good representative of our congressional district.

The last time I wrote, I focused on the fact that two Minnesotans were running for president. That didn’t last long, did it? One week after that column was published, Michele Bachmann won the Iowa Straw Poll, Tim Pawlenty dropped out of the race and Rick Perry jumped in. In just one day, the field changed from having two Minnesotans to having two Texans (Ron Paul being the second Texan). Shortly thereafter, Bachmann and Perry came under fire for a common reason: their Christian convictions. Some media sources warned that Bachmann and Perry wanted to turn the United States into a theocracy. Now that strikes me as a little strange, probably because I was born during the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower, who added the words “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance. If there were charges that Ike wanted a theocracy, I never heard about them. There was some concern that the first catholic president, John F. Kennedy, would take orders from Rome, but when Kennedy assured the public with Pope Paul at his side, controversy subsided for the most part. Today, it seems that one can’t even sing the old hymn, “Onward Christian Soldiers,” without someone equating evangelical Christians with Al Qaeda. When did taking a stand for God become controversial? Some might say 1962, when the Supreme Court ruled prayer in the classroom unconstitutional. That, however, was the masterful work of one atheist in a courtroom. The real shift took place in politics in 1972. With the help of some new convention rules, a new generation took the reigns of the Democratic Party. The “new left,” as it was called at the time,

GUEST COMMENTARY
Minnesotans feeling the clamp of regulatory burdens Many Minnesotans looking for jobs and employers who would like to add to their workforce are feeling hamstrung by threats of higher taxes, more spending and new regulatory burdens from Washington. For far too long, I have been hearing from job creators, workers, and too many frustrated unemployed men and women who want to know how we can get America working again. They want to see positive solutions that put the nation’s fiscal house in order and remove Washington’s regulatory roadblocks to job creation. We can all agree there are reasonable regulations that protect our children and the environment, but far too many excessive regulations unnecessarily increase costs for consumers and small businesses, making it harder for the private sector to create jobs. Last week, I led a regulations tour throughout Minnesota’s 2nd district where I enjoyed touring, meeting with, and hearing from Minnesota workers, farmers, and businesses hurt by ongoing and proposed jobkilling regulations. Minnesota farmers and ag producers shared with me their concerns regarding federal regulations including the Environmental Protection Agency’s plans to increase regulations of dust, which would affect anyone who uses a combine or drives on a gravel road. As they expressed to me, increased regulations of dust would greatly restrict economic development and growth, and would be incredibly detrimental to the farming industry. To quote a Le Sueur county farmer, “It boggles my mind how you would regulate dust.” Another stop on the tour was a cement and ready-mix plant at which I visited with workers and managers. Although the cement industry is already one of the most over-regulated industries in the United States, the EPA is proposing seven new over-reaching rules which would severely hinder the industry nationwide. Studies show the EPA’s proposed rules would force the industry to shut down 18

plants (11 percent of production), cost $3.4 billion over three years (half the industry’s annual revenues), and directly destroy 4,000 jobs. “We haven’t bought any trucks for three years because of the uncertainty and our customers are feeling the ripple effect,” said one frustrated employer. During my visit to a local engineering small business, I heard concerns regarding the federal government’s over-reach in areas ranging from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to the new health care law commonly referred to as “ObamaCare.” This small business is a subcontractor to more than 100 airlines around the globe, including Boeing. After The Boeing Company spent $1 billion building a plant and hiring thousands of workers in South Carolina, the NLRB sought to force the transfer of work to a unionized facility in Washington state. If successful, the NLRB’s action could destroy thousands of South Carolina jobs and is already having a chilling effect on the job creators across the country. When sharing thoughts of the federal government’s increasingly intrusive footprint into the private sector, the small business owner said, “I have to watch my back so I don’t get shot in the butt.” These egregious attempts by federal agencies to regulate everything from farm dust to restricting where an employer can create jobs in the United States is crippling Minnesota job creators

and entrepreneurs from coast to coast – and the resulting uncertainty is growing at an alarming pace. The Obama administration has publicly listed 219 new regulatory actions under consideration for the upcoming year; each of which would have an estimated cost to our economy of $100 million or more. In response to a request by House Republicans, the President revealed that seven of these regulations would have an estimated economic cost of $1 billion each. This year, one of our guiding principles in the U.S. House of Representatives is ensuring our governing agenda focuses on removing government barriers to private-sector job creation. I am pleased to have introduced legislation that would repeal or stop these excessive regulatory grabs. In the case against Boeing, I championed legislation that recently passed the House which would prevent the NLRB from dictating where a private business can and cannot create jobs. Unfortunately, like 15 other jobs bills passed by the House this year, this important legislation continues to sit dormant in the U.S. Senate. Washington cannot lose sight of the fact that we must work together on behalf of the Americans we serve, including the 15 million unemployed who get up each morning wondering if this is the day they will at long last be hired. We must remember that unemployment knows no partisan boundaries, and we should be willing to consider a wide variety of solutions. The job creators and workers could not have made their points any clearer during my regulations tour: Small business owners, entrepreneurs, farmers and ag producers don’t need Washington to tell them how to succeed and create jobs. They need the President and Congress to get out of the way and give them the freedom to succeed. (Congressman John Kline is the Chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee. He also serves on the House Armed Services Committee.)

OURSCHOOLS BURNSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL PRODUCTION: ‘ONCE UPON A MATTRESS’
A royal pain for the princess BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com
If you thought NBA star and Minnesota-native Kris Humphries had in-law issues, wait until you see Burnsville High School’s production of “Once Upon a Mattress,” which opened this Thursday. Humphries may have had to deal with the Kardashian clan, but that’s nothing compared to what Princess Winnifred has to go through with potential mother-in-law Queen Aggravain. “She’s a really emotional, crazy character,” said BHS junior and Savage resident Christina Sahli, who’s taking on the role of the queen. Based on the 19th century fairy tale “The Princess and the Pea,” the musical comedy was first produced in 1959 and starred Carol Burnett. Set in a fictional medieval kingdom, the story revolves around Winnifred, a spunky, rough-around-the-edges tomboy princess who wants to marry the queen’s son, Prince Dauntless. But before she can do so, she must win the approval of the queen, which is no easy task. For all the Prince’s suitors, the queen requires they pass a series of inane and seemingly impossible tests that essentially sets the ladies up to fail. But in Winnifred, the queen appears to have met her match.
A TOUGH SIX WEEKS The students and staff have been working on the play for six weeks now, memorizing lines, songs and choreography, as well as designing costumes and spending over a month putting together the rather complex medieval set. And as
one could imagine, it hasn’t always been easy. But while the preparation has been grueling (“They’ve had rehearsals from about 2:30 to 10 p.m. every night,” said Christine Zrust, Publicity Manager for the BHS Theatre Guild) it all paid off on opening night. “It’s so fun seeing it all come together,” said BHS junior and Burnsville resident Kristina Butler, who plays Winnifred. “From day one when the set is blank, and there’s no costumes so we’re wearing these hideous blue plaid rehearsal skirts, but then you see the set slowly come together, and the scenery and the choreography come together. Just the whole process, it’s like watching your child grow up, except in six weeks.” Despite being involved in theater since she was in fourth grade, Butler said getting ready for this performance was a unique experience for her. “It’s the first musical I’ve done that I wasn’t very familiar with,” said Butler. “I really had to go online and look it up, and I got a lot of help from my parents who helped coach me in channeling Carol Burnett.” “Which she does very well, by the way,” added Zrusk. Another reason the performance is unique for Butler? It’s her first time in the leading role. “I was nervous that I wouldn’t bring to the table what I needed to, and that I was appointed this role but didn’t really deserve it, but I’ve been told I’m doing a good job,” said Butler. “Oh yeah,” confirmed Zrusk. “When you have the director laughing his butt off still after like three rehearsals, you know you’re
doing a great job.” But as great as Butler’s been, she’s quick to point out that Sahli (Queen Aggravain) is the one that steals the show. “She’s an excellent actor,” Butler said. But perhaps it’s Sahli’s infatuation with the role that facilitates her great performance. “I just love being able to be crazy and weird and just really over-thetop,” she said.
WHY IT’S A MUST SEE What really makes the musical great, said Sahli, are the cast’s comedic performances and the lighthearted approach the show takes. “It’s definitely weirder [than the other plays I’ve done before],” she said. “It kind of just makes fun of the characters and doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s a lot of fun.” And for BHS junior and Savage resident Brian Boie, who plays the Wizard, the offbeat humor is what carries the show. “It’s those jokes that some people will get and others won’t, but you know somebody in the audience will be laughing at all times,” Boie said. “It’s a lot of slapstick comedy, a lot of understated jokes,” added Musical Director Bryan Fisher. “And there are some interactions with the queen that are just absolutely, gut-bustingly funny.” According to Director Randy Day, “You won’t look at a fairy tale the same way after seeing this one.” While the audience will appreciate the comedy and the musical numbers, Boie said one of his favorite aspects is the show’s wardrobe. “It is, like, my favorite thing ever,” Boie said of his costume. “The

It’s extravagant.” So does the play pretty much stick to the original plot? “It stays pretty true to the script,” said Fisher. But that doesn’t mean the show will be a carbon copy of other theater companies’ productions of the show. “I think if you saw the show here or you saw it somewhere else, the storyline would pretty much be the same. But we’d like to think you’ll get a lot more entertainment from our show,” said Day.
STUDENTS TAKE THE LEAD After all the hard work put into this production, Fisher makes it clear who deserves the most credit. “From a director’s standpoint, I love watching it all come together, with the ownership the students take and the way they become leaders and the way they run the show is what I’m most proud of.” “We try to empower the students as much as we can,” added Day, “we encourage kids to try something they’ve never done before, knowing that they’ll be supported. We believe in the students, and we like to

Student arrested for heroin at BHS A Burnsville High School st udent wa s a r r e st e d l a st month after traces of heroin a nd t he prescription a ntianxiety drug lorazepam were found in her car. Burnsville resident Paige Chamley, 18, was charged with two counts of fi fth-degree drug possession, both felonies. According to the complaint, a Burnsville High School employee saw Chamley sitting in her car in the parking lot, and when she exited the car she was allegedly smoking a cigarette. Tobacco is prohibited on BHS grounds, so the employee searched Chamley’s car for more cigarettes. What the employee found instead was a plastic spoon

Shakopee bank robbed at gunpoint The FBI and Shakopee police are continuing to investigate the case of a masked m a n who robb e d Pa r a gon Bank at gunpoint on Tuesday morning. The man, wearing a mask and dressed all in black, robbed the downtown Shakopee bank just after 11 a.m. He is described as white, 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall, and 19 to 29 years old. He escaped through the back entrance, running east through the parking lot of River City Centre. It is unknown whether he left in a vehicle. The robber displayed a handgun, demanded money and was given an undisclosed amount of cash, said Shakopee Capt.

Two months after a pair of late night bedroom break-ins at the Hidden Valley apartment complex in Savage, police are urging the public to come forward with any information they might have regarding the cases. “We’re still looking for information on the incidents at Hidden Valley Apartments, any information,” said Savage Police Capt. Dave Muelken, “and we’re offering a $1,000 reward in return.” On Sept. 6, the Savage Police Department received a report that a 7-year-old girl awoke the previous night and saw an unknown man in the bedroom of her apartment in the 4400 block of West 137th Street. The week before, police received a
report of a similar incident in the same apartment complex in which a chair was found under the window of a 5-year-old boy and 7-year-old girl’s bedroom and the window screen had been removed. No evidence of entry was found in that case. A reward of up to $1,000 is also being offered through Crime Stoppers for information relating to a separate case involving substantial property damage. The incident occurred Oct. 11 at a home in the 4600 block of West 131st Street during the daytime.

Board approves district goals, operational plan Student achievement, community and family involvement among objectives BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com
At its regular meeting Oct. 24, the District 719 School Board approved three documents which will play a large role in steering the district’s path: the superintendent’s goals, board goals and the district’s twoyear operational plan. Each of the documents’ objectives fall into one of six categories: increasing student growth and achievement, financial accountability to community, expanding innovative programming to meet family needs, expanding and embedding environmenta l focus, integ rating technolog y for teaching and communications, increased capacity for 21st century skills and engaging parents, families and community to strengthen a culture of
respect and inclusion. “I think we’ve probably put more work into evaluating our goals and aligning our goals this year with the administraSue Ann tive team than Gruver we ever have in the past,” said Board Chairman Eric Pratt, who presented the goals. “It’s probably the first time, since I’ve been on the board, that we’ve truly aligned our goals specifically with the strategic plan and I think it was well-worth the effort to do so.” The goals adopted Oct. 24 are for the duration of the 2011-12 school year. Aside from recurring issues such as teacher negotiations and budgeting, the document also touches on new initiatives. Beginning in January 2012, the board will make decisions on whether to move forward with a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) immersion
school, with hopes to open in time for the 2012-13 school year. A steering committee is currently studying that option as well as a foreign-language immersion school. In addition, the board is set to spend January through March assessing its guiding philosophy for co-curricular activities, particularly in relation to Prior Lake Athletics for Youth. Other board goals include funding a technology audit – another step for the district to complete its long-term technology goals – and investing in branding the district. The board also has objectives under a seventh heading, overall board governance development, which include increased outreach to district principals and community groups. Though most of the goals focus on the remainder of the school year, some of the overall governance objectives, in particular, have an eye toward the future. They include an evaluation of the board’s current committee structure and studying a suggestion
to change the board meeting schedule to a single monthly meeting complemented by a monthly study session. Should the board adopt that alternative structure, it would be implemented in January 2013. “I think these are more substantive,” said Mike Murray, the School Board’s clerk and treasurer, of the goals. “They’re also more in alignment with what the mission of the board should be as opposed to some of the goals we’ve had in the past, without really being critical of that … I think this is a good starting point, not only for this board but for boards of the future to really build upon.”
OPERATIONAL PLAN The board also adopted the district’s operational plan, a document that combines objectives from the board and superintendent’s goals to create a clear compass for the district’s next two years. The operational plan shares plenty of objectives with the superintendent and board goal
Gruver’s Goals I Boost student achievement in math, reading and science by 2
percent and be a top performer in the South Suburban Conference I Expand technology offerings: educational use of smart phones,
increase hybrid and online learning, increase classrooms with technology-embedded curricula I Growing the district’s organic recycling program I Stave off forecasted drop in elementary enrollment by hosting
Java Jive information sessions, finding additional money and media to market the district, and having Decisions Resources conduct another local survey I Study the development of the County Road 42 and Highway 13
area and its potential impact on enrollment I Create a Superintendent Community Advisory Board for 2012-
2013 I Expand science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)
offerings to early childhood through fifth-grade students, as well as integrating STEM with environmental education at all grade levels documents, but also includes original targets such as increasing student participation on the ACT by 5 percent – and raising scores on the collegeentrance exam by 1 percent – this school year. Tentative 2012-13 initiatives include organic recycling in all
district buildings and, through continued grants and funding, expanding the district’s Alternate Delivery of Specialized Instructional Services programming – which the district began last year with dollars from the state – to kindergarten through 12th grade.

Students expand their learning around the globe The world has become a classroom for Burnsville High School students. Senior Kelsey Larson has been selected to research climate change in Bangladesh in December. Junior Savannah Lim just returned from participating in an international conference and is now eligible for an internship to research food production in Africa.

grades 9 through 12 – there they interact with scientists and students from 60 countries.
As their learning increasingly encompasses the globe, our students have formed many international connections. I believe this is a key ingredient in their future career success, and others agree. To highlight the importance of global education, the U.S. departments of Education and State are sponsoring the 12th annual International Education Week Nov. 14 through 18 with a theme of “International Education: Inspiring Students Locally to Succeed Globally.” The week is designed to
celebrate the benefits of understanding the world around us, so we can better communicate and collaborate with others from different cultures. It is an opportunity to remind students that they can broaden their horizons through global learning, studying world languages and participating in international exchanges. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan stresses the importance of preparing our children to succeed in a globally-competitive economy. He noted that the world’s economies are becoming
so interdependent that “it is almost impossible to distinguish between domestic and international issues.” It’s not possible any more for us to think that what we do here in Minnesota doesn’t affect the rest of the world, or that what happens around the world doesn’t affect us every day. From simply purchasing products made in China to the complex relationship between the economies of Europe, Asia and America, we live in a global society. A Burnsville High School graduate recently spoke to current students
about his role in the global economy. Employed by a large corporation based in the Twin Cities, he’s part of an international team that operates 24/7 around the globe. As he does his job, he interacts with people from all over the world on a regular basis. (Randy Clegg is superintendent of BurnsvilleEagan-Savage School District 191.

e g a v Sa Business Review Can you go from 27 medications per day to 1 in just 1 year of neurological based care? SYMPTOMS
TESTIMONIAL
Z.S. presented to Lifeforce Family Chiropractic (LFFC) with a variety of serious health problems, including low back pain, headaches, dizziness, numbness and tingling in hands, sleep apnea and carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists. He was scheduled to have surgery for the carpal tunnel, but after seeking care at LFFC, he was able to cancel the surgical procedure. .
“I cannot thank you enough for all your counsel, insight and advice not to mention top quality work. You have certainly gone above and beyond the service and role I expected you would provide. Not only was your work on all elements of my condition executed with the highest quality but you also played the role of advisor and teacher throughout the process … I appreciate the extent to which you and your family have gone to find all the alternatives to my medical conditions. Your generosity and help have been an inspiration to me …
Z.S. also had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, bi-polar disorder, depression and many other symptoms that caused him to retire as a college professor.
You are certainly a talented individual with the unique ability to not only serve your family members but also quickly build a relationship of trust, integrity and respect.
TREATMENT The treatment consisted of neurological based adjustments using the Torque Release Protocol, Auriculo-Therapy, Nutriceutical Therapy and Prayer that was performed via Dr. Lofton and his staff. Torque Release Technique® (TRT) is an amazing protocol that tests the nervous system to find and locate any areas of nerve interference (disconnect) or altered communication within the central and peripheral nervous system. TRT and the integrator (hand held device that resets the frequency of the spinal cord tissue) came out of the first state of well being/addiction population research in chiropractic history.
RESULTS After one month of neurological based care, the patient was able to reduce his average dose of 22 medications to 7 medications
per day. Z.S. states that in this time, his emotional state of well being significantly improved and continues to improve to this day. Z.S. also states that headaches, low back pain, numbness in hands, and many other symptoms improved or were eliminated 100%. Currently, the insomnia symptoms are 60% improved and sleep apnea has improved 50% as stated via his MD and sleep clinic. The only medication that he currently takes is insulin; he was taking 55 units per day, and now has been reduced via his MD to 16 units per day. “The results of this patient are nothing short of a miracle and we at LFFC are so blessed to be part of his life and to assist him in the healing process.” Dr. Wade A. Lofton.
I felt at home every time I stepped into your and now my second family in Minneapolis…. Commendations, best regards, thanking you … Sincerely, Z.S.

Veterans Day: a time to thank the patriots among us F
the Minnesota National Guard in 2002. Since then, he has been on two deployments to combat zones with the 34th Red Bull Infantry Division, totaling 40 months away. He fought for us – you and me. Brian had to leave behind his family, his friends and everyday comforts for our safety, our freedom and our happiness, never asking for anything in return. He, military personnel and veterans make the joyful memories we are able to make, the securities we enjoy and the reassurance of our safety all possible. I often think, “What would our country be like if people like Brian weren’t so generous and selfless?” I wouldn’t want to know the answer to that ... So, thank you to all veterans and active military out there.
ar too often we admire a uniformed soldier from afar, put a magnetic decal on our car to show troop support, and fly the flag on appropriate holidays – without giving much thought to the sacrifices that soldiers, past and present, have made. Veterans Day is a chance to correct that, a chance to think of and thank all men and women who have served honorably in times of war and peace. Perhaps the thoughts and essays on this page, submitted by area readers, will help get you started … help you think about how the sacrifices of military veterans have protected our freedoms and made America a safer place. Our thanks once again to all the readers who shared their thoughtful words on this topic.

and returned to Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo., for training for the new war, Vietnam.
Carl was a World War II veteran, a married student with a child and another on the way when he received papers to report to Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo., to train troops for Korea. While training troops, son John was born in an Army tent hospital and was delivered to Mom in rustling paper diapers (Dec. 1950). Carl had graduated from pharmacy school and was now an ROTC commissioned lieutenant. All attempts to transfer to the medical corps were denied. He was sent to Korea as an infantry officer. Once in the country, he arrived at the front a reluctant warrior, thinking of his family. Within a week, there were only seven survivors of his unit. He recalls the mortar hitting too close and the impact. He recalls bodies tossed on top. He was in the dead pile. Not able to talk, he moved his foot until someone yelled. “This one’s alive.” He was placed on a stretcher face down, to haul back to the field hospital. The hospital was some distance away. Every time a mortar hit, the stretcher bearers dropped him. Carl thought the grenades on his chest would go off. They arrived safe, he recovered after a year, and for 30 years my dad at times would cough and lead dislodged from his wounds clinked to the dinner table next to the mashed potatoes. In 1972, son John was drafted

Proud of a local soldier We would like to thank our son, Lt. Anthony Larson, USN, for his continued service to our country. His Navy career started his senior year of college at the University of Minnesota School of Engineering in 2002. He was commissioned an officer the following summer in Newport, R.I. Anthony was assigned to the Nuclear Reactor Office in Washington, D.C. for the next five years, during that time receiving his master’s degree in engineering. He left Washington for the next 2½ years to train for his present duty assignment, where he earned his dolphin pin and Engineering Duty Officer status. Anthony is currently stationed at Portsmouth, N.H. Naval Base, where he is the dry docking officer for the Virginia Class Submarines. Anthony was part of the crew of the USS Wyoming during its historic 1,000th Trident ballistic missile patrol. Anthony is a 1999 graduate of Prior Lake High School. We are very proud of our son and all the men and women who serve this country.

many things we civilians take for granted every day – home-cooked meals, comfortable beds, days off from work, air conditioning, vacations, closets full of colorful clothes, the list goes on and on. I am especially proud of and thankful for my husband, Brian Liebl of Chanhassen, who joined
Some girls marry doctors, some lawyers. Then, there are a select few who get to marry soldiers. I am one of those lucky women. I met my now husband, Colin, shortly after his fi rst deployment. I knew right then and there he was the man for me. He didn’t talk much about his tour, but we knew, sooner or later he would have to go again. After nine months of dating, he got the call. His unit was deploying. Now I understood what families go through. Lonely nights, Christmas, birthdays, weddings, all of it solo. He was in the desert doing the same. Celebrating these while being shot at. Finally married, we went through deployment number three, and are now preparing for the fourth. Words can’t describe the feeling of seeing those combat boots by the door, knowing soon they’ll be gone. I get to sleep in our bed, talk with our friends and family every day. Each day, my husband is out there, risking his life for our family and friends, fighting to come home safe to us. I am lucky enough to not only call Sgt. Rainey my husband, but he’s my best friend, my hero and my soldier.

The Weisman’s many facets – inside and out Eclectic art museum more than just architectural gem BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com
T
he Weisman Art Museum, on the University of Minnesota campus, recently underwent a major expansion. For those wondering what the Weisman is, it’s the irregular silver-sided building designed by Frank Gehry which frequently prompts heated debates over, well, how un-Minnesotan it is. I’m a big fan of architecture that creates a ruckus and gets me thinking. The crazy shapes and angles of the Weisman make me want to find my childhood building blocks, wrap them in tinfoil, and create my own museum on the living room floor. It’s impossible to take a bad picture of the building. Move the lens a bit left, right, up or down, and you create a totally different abstract image. However, the Weisman’s art collection has always been a bit scattered. It’s sort of like the youngest sibling in the Twin Cities museum family that can’t get its act together – the one everyone compares to its more successful, older brothers. While many of the Weisman’s temporary exhibits have been knockouts, the permanent collection has always left me wanting more.
MUSEUM EXPANSIONS In early October, the Weisman reopened following an 8,100-foot expansion that took a year. Recent major expansions at the Walker Art Center and Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA) have been big hits. The new Walker is like walking into “2001: Space Odyssey.” All it’s missing is a giant gold fetus, designed by Jeff Koons, floating in an atrium. Added space for local artists, American Indian exhibits and modern art have made the MIA a well-rounded museum. So I ventured from the ’burbs to the U of M campus to take a look at the new Weisman. (Hint: Avoid the museum when 20,000 Cornhusker fans are in town.) Gehry also designed

the museum expansion, improving on his original which opened in 1993. The irregular spaces continue through the museum’s interior, with sunshine bouncing down asymmetrical walls.
ECLECTIC In the past, viewing the eclectic exhibit was akin to rummaging through a purse, trying to find a final quarter for the meter. There’s still a bit of that feeling – hard to avoid with small permanent collections that skip from 20th-century American art to Korean furniture to ceramics. However, the additional gallery space does a better job of showcasing the museum’s gems. For instance, Pedicord Apts., restored to its original dilapidated condition, holds a prominent location in the museum. The interactive art recreates an apartment hallway, where one snoops on the neighbors the old fashioned way – by listening through the door instead of Googling them. Outside

out of the corner of my eye as I walked through the gallery. Other galleries showcase the museum’s paintings by
early 20th-century artists, notably Marsden Hartley and Georgia O’Keeffe. O’Keeffe’s “Oak Leaves, Pink and Gray”
painting remains one of my favorites at the museum. You’ll also find everything from the world’s smallest Albert Bierstadt painting (or so it seems) to the world’s largest painting of a chicken coop. There are as many facets to the museum collection as the museum building, and both are worth a look.

Who’s Afraid of Edith Carlson?: Edith Carlson Works on Paper
Through March 24, 2013
Edith Carlson, a self-described “little farm girl from Minnesota,” went on to become an accomplished artist. Her estate endows the Edith Carlson Gallery. Carlson chose the Weisman for the bequest because she admired the museum’s collection of art by women.
University of Minnesota art professor emeritus and master potter Warren MacKenzie cocurated “Conversations about Ceramics with director Lyndel King.” MacKenzie had an important role in the development of the museum’s collection of ceramics. Selections illuminate his personal thoughts on the entire and diverse collection.
Thanks to a grant from the Korea Foundation, the museum will have a three-year installation of works from its collection of Korean furniture and cultural artifacts given by Dr. Edward Reynolds Wright Jr., who bequeathed it to the museum in 1988.

‘DRACULA’
REMARKABLE REPTILES

Aspen Academy test results soar All fifth-graders who were tested exceed proficiency in math, reading BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com
If the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA) exams were graded, Aspen Academy would’ve earned an A+ for its fi fth-grade students. On the tests, administered last school year, 100 percent of Aspen Academy fi fth-grade students exceeded proficiency on both the reading and math assessments. Maggie Rowan, Aspen’s curriculum coordinator, called the students’ performance “phenomenal.” “It’s just astounding,” she added. “If you never see it, you don’t think it’s possible. Clearly, it can be done.” This isn’t the fi rst time the charter school, which opened its doors in 2007, has seen that level of success. The 2010 MCA results showed 100-percent pro-

istered annually in compliance with the federal No Child Left Behind Act, which mandates that 100 percent of tested students reach proficiency in math and reading (currently, students must take the science test but are not required to achieve proficiency) by 2014. Each year, districts are required to show a certain amount of growth – deemed Adequate Yearly Prog ress (AYP) – in each grade level, in both math and reading, and in certain demographics called subgroups. Districts that don’t show required growth can face serious consequences if they accept Title I dollars, which are given to supplement services for students who qualify for free and reduced-price lunches. Aspen does not receive Title I dollars but is still subject to consequences should its MCA scores fall short and the school not meet AYP.

The school’s enrollment sits at about 350 students, and thus has outgrown its current location at Bethesda Church in Prior Lake. Rowan said school officials hope to receive the final word on Aspen’s new location in two weeks. “We’ve completely outgrown this building,” she said.

FOOTBALL
CLASS AA GIRLS STATE SOCCER TOURNAMENT
So close to a crown Blaze denied first title since 1993 BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com
The Prior Lake football tea m ea r ned some pl ayoff revenge in the Section 3AAAAA semifinals Oct. 29. Junior fullback Jack Johnson rumbled for 110 yards on 16 carries and scored three second-quarter touchdowns to lead the second-seeded Lakers to a no-doubt 31-7 home win over third-seeded Bloomington Kennedy. Kennedy had ended Prior Lake’s season the last two years in the quarterfi nals. “We were ready to play t his ga me,” said L a kers coach Matt Gegenheimer. “We came out and started strong like we wanted to. We didn’t let up.” The Lakers (7-3) didn’t have to travel very far for the title game. It was held on their home turf against fourth-seeded Eastview (5-5) Friday (results not available at press time).
When the Burnsville girls soccer team looks back on its 2011 season, it will no doubt take great pride in its runnerup fi nish at the Class AA state tournament. But that doesn’t mean the painful, emotional 2-1 shootout loss to Wayzata Nov. 3 in the title game at the Metrodome didn’t sting. It did. “Our seniors are sad, but also happy we made it this far,” said Blaze senior Hannah Freden. “It’s just so hard because it was the last game for the seniors. We played our hardest the whole season and in this game. “It’s so hard to explain the emotions running through all of our heads,” added Freden. “We did the best we could and came up a little short.” The game was tied 1-1 after 80 minutes of regulation and stayed that way through two, 10-minute overtimes. That left a shootout to decide things with each team getting five attempts. And even then it was still tied with three makes apiece. So it went to each team’s sixth shooter. Burnsville missed, hitting the crossbar. Wayzata made. “The shootout is a tough thing,” said Blaze coach John Soderholm, whose team finished with a 17-5 record. “It’s a big deal to get here and the girls got a taste of (the state tournament). Hopefully, we can work our way back here next year.” What did Soderholm say to his team afterward? “I told them no tears, no disappointment,” he said. “It was a great season. If I told them in August we’d be second at state, they wouldn’t have believed me.” The shootout was tensionfilled. Burnsville missed its fi rst attempt and made its next three with junior Maggie Soderholm and sophomores Hannah Keirstead and Alyssa Blahnik scoring. Wayzata made two to start, missed its third and made its fourth. However, the Blaze missed its last two attempts. Wayzata missed on its first try to win the title, but not on its next one. Burnsville senior goalie Meghann Rudolph couldn’t hold back the tears afterward. But without her brilliant play, the game might not have made

Blaze grinds out quarterfinal win, dominates in semifinals BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com
Burnsville’s Alyssa Blahnik controls the ball in the second half in the title game. She scored the Blaze’s lone goal and made the all-tournament team.
The Burnsville girls soccer team’s road to the Class AA state title game took two different turns. The Blaze had to fi rst grind out a rugged 1-0 quarterfi nal win over second-seeded Woodbury Oct. 28, before exploding offensively in an easy-looking 5-2 semifi nal win over Centennial on Halloween (Oct. 31). But the Blaze has proved all year long it can win a tight, physical defensive battle or a free-wheeling high-scoring affair. Burnsville coach John Soderholm said the Blaze’s semifinal win inside the cozy confines of the Metrodome was probably his team’s best passing game of the year. Sophomore Alyssa Blahnik had three goals and two assists in the win, while sophomore Abby Soderholm had a goal and two assists and junior Tiana

Khamvongsa had a goal and an assist. “The girls did a nice job of keeping the ball on the ground and fi nding each other,” said Soderholm. “That was probably our finest game of the year in terms of our midfielders playing the ball up to our forwards. It was nice time to put it all together like that.” Against Woodbury, junior goalie Meghann Rudolph supported a bloody cut on her eye lid following the game, which was held at Park High School. Let’s just say the gash represented just how hard the Blaze had to fight to knock off the perennial state power Royals (15-4-1).

In arguably the toughest section in the state, the Burnsville volleyball team was left stranded in the quarterfinals. The eighth-seeded Blaze had to face the No. 1-ranked team in the state and Section 3AAA’s top seed Oct. 28 on the road and Lakeville South simply had too much fi repower. The Cougars (25-1) earned the sweep over the Blaze (2520, 25-16, 25-21). It’s the second straight season that Burnsville has been knocked out in the section quarterfi nals under secondyear coach Kim Hook. The Blaze (11-14 overall, 2-7 in the South Suburban Conference) won the section crown in 2009, going on to fi nish third at state.

The Prior Lake girls swimming team closed out the regular season Oct. 27 winning 11 of 12 events in a South Suburban Conference dual. Sophomore Monica Banasikowski won two individual events and was part of two winning relays in the Lakers’ 93-85 home win over Eagan. The No. 8-ranked Lakers fi nished 8-1 in conference duals, tying for fi rst place with Ro s emou nt a nd L a kev i l le North. Prior Lake lost to Rosemount and beat Lakeville North, while
Prior Lake eighth-grader Lauren Harris won the 200-yard individual medley in the Lakers’ home victory over Eagan Oct. 27. Rosemount’s one loss was to Lakeville North. Prior Lake will now turn its attention to defending its Section 2AA title. Rosemount and Lakeville North are also in the field. Sections start Wednesday Nov. 9 with the prelims with the fi nals Nov. 11. The venue is Hidden Oaks Middle School at 6 p.m. In the win over Eagan, Banasikowski won the 50-yard free-
style with a time of 25.38 seconds and the 100 butterfly (1:02.72). She was also part of the winning 200 medley relay with sophomore Taylor Dessler and juniors Elizabeth Hartell and Alex Yaeger (1:55.05) and the victorious 200 freestyle team with Hartell, sophomore Kendra Lair and eighth-grader Lauren Harris (1:42.86).

Seniors Alli Butler and Camille Benson played a big role on that state team and were the team’s captains this year. Their stellar careers came to end in the loss to Lakeville South. Butler was in her fi fth season on the varsity, while it was Benson’s fourth. Butler did it all for the Blaze this past season, leading the team in kills (243) and was second in set assists (310) and ace serves (36). She was also third in digs (131) and tied for third in blocks (32). Benson finished with a team-best 310 digs, her third straight season of 300-plus digs. She had 10 digs in the loss to Lakeville South. Butler had 10 kills, along with two blocks and seven assists.

One again, PL eliminated in quarterfinals
The Burnsville girls swimming team won seven events to win its final South Suburban Conference dual Oct. 27. Just as good, the Blaze welcomed back Alexis Dobrzynski to the pool. The sophomore had been out since Sept. 5 with an ankle injury. Dobrzynski swam two individual events – the 50-yard freestyle and 100 backstroke – in the Blaze’s 97- 8 6 win at Bloomington Jefferson. Her times were not up to her usual standard, but she still has a little time left to prepare for the Section 2AA meet, which starts Wednesday Nov. 9 with the prelims and concludes Nov. 11 with the fi nals. The venue is Hidden Oaks Middle School and both days start at 6 p.m. The big question for Dobrzynski at sections is her foot strong enough to push off the wall on flip turns. Dobrzynski was a state qualifier in the 100 backstroke last year and was a key member of the team’s 200 medley relay. When she’s at her best, she really makes the Blaze’s relays that much stronger. In the win over Jefferson, Burnsville won two of three relays. The 200 medley team of seniors Julia Kramer and Teresa DiGregorio and juniors Anna Elling and Sarah Walker finished with a winning time of 2 minutes, .86 seconds.

If the Prior Lake volleyball team was going to pull off the upset in the Section 2AAA quarterfinals Oct. 28, it needed to play a near-flawless match. But inconsistent play has plagued the Lakers’ all season long. Not only was Prior Lake up and down during most of the regular season, but there were at times wild swings in their play during matches from set to set. The sixth-seeded Lakers just couldn’t handle thirdseeded Chanhassen in the quarterfinals getting swept on the road (25-19, 25-16, 25-19). Prior Lake finished the season with an 11-17 overall mark (2-7 in the South Suburban Conference). It’s the third straight year the team has been knocked out in the section quarterfi nals. Chanhassen also beat the Lakers in the regular season in four games (25-16, 19-25, 25-9, 25-11) back on Sept 1. Prior Lake seniors Jayme L u b a n s k y, M e l i s s a Va n Benthuysen, Alex McGraw

Soderholm scored on a free kick from 32 yards out in the 49th minute and the Blaze held on from there. “We did what we had to do to win this game,” said Rudolph, who fi nished with six saves as the Blaze won by shutout for the 11th time. “They had a lot of shots the whole game, but we were able to shut them down defensively.” Woodbury was making its 11th state appearance since 1998, winning titles in 2008, 2006, 2004, 2003 and 1998 and f i n i s h i n g r u n ne r - up fou r teams (2009, 2005, 2002 and 1998). The Blaze was making its fi rst appearance in 15 years. So needless to say, Soderholm and her teammates were thrilled to get through that rugged game. “It’s awesome; Burnsville hasn’t been this far in a long time,” Abby Soderholm said afterward. Soderholm lined up her free kick and then booted a perfect ball that just crept over the outstretched arms of Woodbury goalie Casey White. Soderholm had nearly the same distance and angle on a free kick later in the second half and hit the crossbar. As Soderholm was lining up the fi rst kick, Rudolph said she had a good feeling about it. “My heart was throbbing, but I just knew it was going in,” she said. Rudolph’s head was also throbbing after she sprinted away from the goal to dive on a ball late in the game. She took a foot to the head, which gave her the cut above her eye. “I was a little woozy there for a minute,” said Rudolph, who always seemed to be in the right position, making some tough saves look easy. Rudolph made a save on a hard shot with about 14 minutes left before halftime. Woodbury also had a chance at close

Prior Lake senior Melissa VanBenthuysen had eight kills in the Lakers’ Section 2AAA quarterfinal loss at Chanhassen Oct. 28. were the Lakers’ three best players. So replacing them won’t be easy next year as Prior Lake will attempt to become more of a factor, not only in the section, but in the toughest conference in the state. Senior Tori Beckel was the Lakers’ other senior. The South Suburban had four ranked teams heading into section play – No. 1 Lakeville South, No. 2 Eagan, No. 5 Lakeville North and No. 7 Bloomington Jefferson. The Lakers were swept by all four of those teams and finished the season 0-7 against ranked or previously ranked Class 3A teams and 0-5 against Class 2A teams ranked in the fi nal poll before the playoffs. Lubansky was t he Lakers’ leader in kills (233) and blocks (75) on the season, while VanBenthuysen was second in kills (227) and digs (156). McGraw was tops in set assists (505), second in ace serves (27)
and fourth in digs (135). The Lakers will have some talented players coming back, staring with ninth-g rader Brittany Luethmers. She had a strong season at libero, fi nishing the season with 445 digs Juniors Emily Veldman and Morgan Schultz, along with sophomores Jacque Luth, Lauren Miller and Lexy Williams will all have bigger roles in the Lakers’ attack next year. Sophomore Libby McGraw will likely take over the set duties, while sophomores Emma Finn and Alex Collins could see their roles increase. In the loss to Chanhassen, Lubansky finished with 10 kills, while VanBenthuysen had eight and Luth had five. McGraw had 21 set assists and five digs. Luethmers led in digs with 21, while VanBenthuysen and Libby McGraw each four. Williams had four blocks, while Lubansky had three.
more Greta Geist had five digs. Hagen led the Blaze in set assists on the season with 345. Muelken led in ace serves with 53 and was second in blocks (39). Junior Nikki Brolin led in blocks with 55, while Mehr fi nished with 32. Randall was second on the team in kills with 155, followed by Muleken with 144. Geist was second in digs with 173. Section 3A A A’s top-four
seeds were all ranked in the top 10 in final Class A A A poll and each advanced to the semifi nals, including, secondseeded Eagan (ranked No. 3), third-seeded Lakeville North (No. 5), and fourth-seeded Bloomington Jefferson (No. 7). Lakeville North is the defending state champion. Bu r n sv i l le’s ot her t wo state appearances in the program’s history came in 1998 and 1996.

Alyssa Blahnik Blaze sophomore range, but headed the ball over the crossbar. Burnsville started to turn up its offensive pressure later in the fi rst half. The Blaze nearly took a 1-0 lead with 90 seconds before the break. Senior Bailly Drayton had a golden opportunity. She had the ball about 15 yards from the goal and was all alone. Her hard shot looked to be going into the corner of the net, but White made a diving save deflecting the ball away. Meanwhile, Burnsville’s back line – senior Hannah Freden, juniors Natalie Muench and Sarah Poythress and sophomore Hannah Keirstead – each had a strong game, especially in the second half when the Royals were trying to get the tying goal. Burnsville’s defensive unit had one lapse in the fi rst half versus Centennial, but for the most part controlled the Cougars’ forwards. In the semifi nals, Blahnik scored her first two goals 51 seconds apart and tallied her third one and 33rd on the season with 2:55 left to play in the fi rst half for a 4-1 lead. She also fi nished with two assists. “I had a lot of good passes from my teammates, who did a good job of setting me up,” said Blahnik. “They deserve a lot of credit too. We played really together as a team.” Soderholm assisted on Blahnik’s fi rst two goals. She gave Blahnik a nice feed in the middle of the field on the fi rst one. Blahnik used her speed to create some space going to her

Blahnik used her head for the second goal. Soderholm fed the ball into the box and Blahnik headed it into the upper corner. Centennial made it a onegoal game 5: 53 later before Khamvongsa scored her eighth goal of the year with a shot from about 20 yards out.
Khamvongsa assisted on Blahnik’s third goal, which looked similar to her fi rst one. Thirty seconds into the second half, Soderholm put the game well out of reach with her sixth goal of the season. Rudolph made three saves in goal for the Blaze. Ninthgrader Darby Loftus replaced Rudolph in the 55th minute with the Blaze up 5-1.
it to overtime. Rudolph made 11 saves. She also made the all-tournament team, along with Freden, Blahnik and junior Tiana Khamvongsa. Wayzata outshot the Blaze 23-15. “Meghann had an amazing game,” said Freden. “It probably was one of her best games. The game was back and forth. They had control. We had control. It was real even.” “Meghann played wonderfully,” said Soderholm. “We gave up too many shots. We got a little panicky and we were playing their style of ball, kicking it over the top. When we put the ball on the ground and passed, we did well.” Burnsville led 1-0 scoring four minutes into the second half. It was Blahnik who notched her 34th goal of the season. Ju nior Sa ra h Poy t h ress got the assist, but Blahnik probably could have gotten one herself. After receiving a pass near midfield, Blahnik kicked the ball over her head, spun around and located the ball, used her speed to beat two Wayzata defenders down the field and ripped a low shot into the corner of the net. It was an unbelievable goal and the 50th in her brilliant two-year varsity career. But Wayzata was able to answer the goal in the 59th minute, scoring off a header on a crossing pass that Rudolph had no shot at. Blahnik nearly won the game with less than minute left in the fi rst overtime. Again using her speed, she blew by a defender and headed toward the Wayzata goal with another defender on her hip. She had a clean, open shot from about 10 yards out, but fi red the ball right into the goalie’s stomach. K ha mvongsa a lso had a scoring chance early in the second overtime, but fired just wide.

State race tends to bring out best in the Burnsville boys BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com
The last time the Burnsville boys cross country team comp ete d i n fou r st rai g ht Class AA state meets disco and bellbottom pants were in style. The Burnsville teams of the late 1970s were a dominant bunch, winning four straight state titles (1976 -1979). The program also hung up a championship banner in 1986. Can the Blaze get title No. 6 this time around? It won’t be easy with top-ranked Stillwater the heavy favorite. But never count out this Blaze prog ram. Coach Jef f Webber always seems to get his teams to peak at the right time, including a fourth-place last year at state and a third-place fi nish the year before. The Blaze was 15th in 2008 in its first state trip since winning the 1986 crown. The state meet is being held today (Saturday, Nov. 5) at its

Fifth-ranked Rosemount won with 58 points. However, Blaze senior Cole O’Brien, ranked No. 2 in the state, wasn’t at full strength for sections coming off an illness. He gutted out a sixth-place fi nish. Burnsville had four runner in the top 10 – senior Abdul Salan (second), ninth-grader Faysol Mahmoud (seventh) and sophomore Ali Ahmed (10th). The Blaze’s fi fth runner was in 43rd (junior Shawn Wong). Webber said Wong had an off

So if both Wong and O’Brien have stronger state meets, who knows how high Burnsville could fi nish? The fi nal Class AA poll had nine ranked teams in the state field. Others are: No. 2 Edina, No. 3 Eden Prairie, No. 7 Andover, No. 8 Moorhead, No. 11 White Bear Lake and No. 12 Owatonna. Burnsville beat both Edina and Eden Prairie at the 26-team Victoria Lion’s Invitational back on Oct. 4. Meanwhile, O’Brien is also going for the state individual
title. He finished second last year and fourth in 2009. S enior Josh T horson of Wayzata is the favorite, ranked No. 1, while senior Jan Ketterson of Bloomington Jefferson is ranked No. 3. Burnsville has had two individual champions in its history – Jay Wallace in 1981 and Rob Finnerty in 2007. Salan and Wong were also part of the Blaze’s state team last year, taking 29th and 121st, respectively. Salan was part of the 2009 team as well, fi nishing 45th. Burnsville also competed at state as a team in 1984, fi nishing 10th.
One last run on the trails The Prior Lake girls cross country team is competing in its ninth straight Class AA state meet. And for five seniors – Taylor Scholl, Madison Lesmeister, Kirsten Anderson, Samantha Anderson and Lauren Bruha – it is their last hurrah together on the trails. So whether the Lakers challenge for a team trophy (top three) or end up in the middle of the pack somewhere, it will likely be an emotional fi nish. The state meet is being held today (Saturday, Nov. 5) at its annual site, St. Olaf College in Northfield. The fi nal Class AA poll has 11 ranked teams in the field with No. 1 Monticello and No.
LAKERS continued from page 15
The Lightning crushed topseeded and defending section champ Rosemount 49-13 in its semifi nal game. Prior Lake and Eastview have only met once. That was in 2007 in the section semifinals, a 38-13 home win for the Lightning. The Class 5A state quarterfinals start Friday, Nov. 11. The Lakers-Lightning winner will face the winner of Section 2, Totino Grace or Mounds View, in the Metrodome in Minneapolis at 8 p.m. The Lakers have never qualified for state in any class. The program moved up to the biggest one in 2003. Eastview has earned four state bids since its inception in 1997 (2002, 2005, 2007 and 2009). The Lightning went into the section title game on a threegame win streak, including a 14-7 quarterfinal win over Burnsville in which it held the Blaze to five yards of total offense. Meanwhile, Prior Lake’s vaunted rushing attack just keeps piling up the yards. It had 312 yards on the ground in its 42-3 quarterfinal win over Bloomington Jefferson and racked up 2 8 4 against Kennedy (391 yards total offense). Senior Kirk Lair booted a 32-yard field goal to give the Lakers a 3-0 lead early in the fi rst quarter.

2 Lakeville South the heavy favorites. Other ranked teams are: No. 3 Eagan, No. 4 Shakopee, No. 5 Wayzata, No. 6 Edina, No. 7 Roseville, No. 8 East Ridge, No. 9 Alexandria, No. 10 Prior Lake and No. 11 Forest Lake. The Lakers fi nished ninth at state last year and are two years removed from the program’s best-ever fi nish (second in 2009). The Lakers have finished fourth two times (2005 and 2007), fi fth once (2006), seventh once (1989), 10th four times (1993, 2001, 2004 and 2008) and 15th once (2003). Prior Lake earned its way to state by taking second at the Section 3AA meet Oct. 26, fi nishing behind Eagan. Lesmeister didn’t run at sections due to low iron levels,
but is competing at state with her fellow seniors, along with sophomore Mackenzie Schell and junior Madeline Schulze. None of the Lakers, along the rest of the state field, are expected to track down No. 1-ra n ked M a ria H auger of Shakopee, who is at tempting to win her third straight individual title. She’s been in a league of her own the last three years. Meanwhile, Scholl has been a fi xture at state since the seventh grade. This is her sixth career race. Her best finish was last year, taking 30th. She was 33rd as a ninth-grader, 43rd as
The second quarter belonged to Johnson. He had scoring runs of 11, 13 and 3 yards as the Lakers led 24-0 at the break. He also had a two-point conversion run on his third touchdown after Prior Lake missed the extra point following its second score. Johnson’s three scores gave him a team-best 12 going into the title game. He also had 653 yards rushing, including going over 100 yards in three of his last five games. “The biggest thing with Jack is he’s running with more confidence,” said Gegenheimer. “We always knew he’d be a pretty good fullback. He’s turned from a boy into a man (in the second half of the season). I’m very happy with his play. He makes our offense more versatile, more powerful.” Senior back Jack Kaiser went over the 1,000-yard mark in the win, rushing for 39 yards and catching four balls for 56 yards. He had 1,015 yards on the ground and nine touchdowns going into the Eastview game. In the third quarter, senior Matt Arends sealed the Lakers’ win with a 32-yard scoring run. It was his fi rst rushing score of the year and third touchdown overall. He had 58 yards on the ground and also caught three passes for 45 yards. Sophomore Blake Weber also got into the rushing mix with 70 yards. Arends showed his versatility when junior back Trevor Maxwell injured his leg in the fi rst quarter and was unable
to return. Arends moved over from receiver to take Maxwell’s spot and had some tough runs in the second quarter. “Any time we are able to get the ball into Matt’s hands more, the better our chances are,” said Gegenheimer. Senior quarterback Topher Rose finished 6 of 8 for 78 yards, while sophomore Nick Rooney was 2 for 4 for 26 yards. Defensively, the Lakers once again did a number on Kennedy senior back Lexis Jones, who fi nished with a season-low 28 yards. Jones had 1,192 yards going into the game. In two games versus the Lakers this year, he averaged just 57.5 yards on the ground, including 87 in a 30-13 home loss to Prior Lake back in Week 5. Jones found his way to the end zone on an 8-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter to deny the Lakers the shutout. “Our defense prides itself on stopping the run,” said Gegenheimer. “We played with good leverage. We took good angles on him and we tackled well.” Senior Jake Deavers led Prior Lake with 11 tackles. The Lakers had seven sacks with junior Elijah Patrick getting 2.5, Lair and senior Ted Choudek each getting two and senior Karmichael Dunbar getting a half with Patrick. Dunbar also fi nished with six tackles, while senior Taylor Case had seven.

Ask Dr. Josh COLICKY BABIES Is there anything a chiropractor can do to help my colicky baby? If you have a colicky baby you may want to investigate taking your baby to a chiropractor. As your child is being born, the neck and back vertebrae can go out of alignment due to the stretching and compressing Dr. Watkins of the body as it emerges into the world. If your delivery included a prolonged pushing stage, forceps or vacuum extraction, or other form of assisted delivery, the chances of a misalignment are great. If the misalignments are big enough, the functioning of major systems in the body can be compromised. The digestive system can be affected and ineffective digestion of breast milk and formula can cause major discomfort in your baby, leading to colic episodes. The adjustments that a chiropractor will do on your baby are very gentle & safe, applying a gentle pressure with the finger to areas on the neck and back. You may see your baby totally relax before your eyes as the misalignments are corrected. Chiropractic care can be very valuable in helping to calm the colic tendencies. *e-mail your questions to: info@watkinsfamilychiropractic.com

We are all aware of the Occupy Wall Street protests. And most of us have seen the latest census figures on income growth and wealth distribution in America. I mention these not because I want to start another argument or create more dissention, but because I think both are symptoms of spiritual issues. There is an issue underlying both that has the potential to undermine democracy. The underlying issue is inequality, which has led to long-term transformation of ethics, norms of responsibility and selfrestraint. I am not suggesting that all people should have the same income or level of wealth, but I am concerned with what has happened to the distribution of wealth in the last 30 years. Between 1976 and 2006, the poorest Americans saw their incomes grow by 11 percent, the middle class by 21 percent, and the top 1 percent saw their incomes grow by 256 percent. In the 1970s, corporate executives earned 40 times as much as their lowest paid employees. By 2007, the ratio was 400 to one. From 2008 to the present, through the Great Recession, the figures have become even more skewed. And recent data shows that more and more Americans are slipping into poverty. What I see is more than just a question of incentive and reward, but an alarming inequality, fueled by long-term changes in power and the role that money plays in power and politics. The more wealth accumulates in the hands of a few, the more influence and favor they acquire. That

in turn frees them to amass more money, until cause and effect become impossible to distinguish. In just 10 years from 1972 to 1982, the number of businesses represented by lobbyists in Washington went from 145 to 2,445. Imagine what it is right now. It seems to me that this growing inequality reflects three spiritual issues or questions. The first has to do with justice and ethics. The second has to do with where we find our source of worth. Is my worth, and my perception of it, based on how much I earn or possess in comparison to others? Or is it based on the fact that I am a unique child of God? And the third spiritual issue/question has to do with stewardship. Whose is all the money and stuff that I have? Did I create it all on my own? Or did it come to me as a trust, to be managed and used not only for my own well being, but for the common good as well? George Packer concludes his article titled, “The Broken Contract,” in the most recent issue of Foreign Affairs with this paragraph: “In the meantime, inequality will continue to mock the American
promise of opportunity for all … Inequality hardens society into a class system, imprisoning people in the circumstances of their birth – a rebuke to the very idea of the American dream. Inequality divides us from one another in schools, in neighborhoods, at work, on airplanes, in hospitals, in what we eat, in the condition of our bodies, in what we think, in our children’s futures, in how we die. Inequality makes it harder to imagine the lives of others – which is one reason why the fate of over 14 million more or less permanently unemployed Americans leaves so little impression in the country’s political and media capitals. Inequality corrodes trust among fellow citizens, making it seem as if the game is rigged. Inequality provokes a generalized anger that finds targets where it can – Immigrants, foreign countries, American elites, government in all forms – and it rewards demagogues while discrediting reformers. Inequality saps the will to conceive of ambitious solutions to large collective problems, because those problems no longer seem very collective. Inequality undermines democracy.” In history, when power and wealth became disproportionately concentrated in the hands of a few, violence broke out, and sometimes nations collapsed. (Rev. David Taylor is a pastor at Glendale United Methodist Church in Savage and can be contacted at www. glendaleumc.org.

SCOTT COUNTY
Commissioners opt to preserve log cabin BY SHANNON FIECKE Sfiecke@swpubl.com
It appears that a 150-yearold log cabin at the Doyle Kennefick Regional Park will be preserved; now, it’s just a matter of when and how. Scott County commissioners were weighing last week whether to cover the two-story house with a pole barn or fabric structure, when County Administrator Gary Shelton suggested the county just go ahead and authorize the $14 2,0 0 0 restoration and try to raise funds and manpower over the winter. “I don’t see that as being insurmountable in our current budget situation,” said Shelton, who prefers to not let the 1861 house wait another five years. “A structure that sits empty for that long deteriorates, even if surrounded by something.” Parks staff asked for a reusable pole barn, anticipated to cost $30,000, to prevent further vandalism and weather deterioration until funds could be found to restore the home near Lennon Lake in Cedar Lake Township. “It’s precious,” said Scott County Historical Society Director Kathy Klehr. “If you tear this down, you will never get another one like this again. Please do not let this treasure slip through your fi ngers.” Commissioner Dave Menden of Shakopee – who previously saw no value in retaining the now-stucco-covered house – told those in attendance at an Oct. 25 meeting (which included descendants of the home’s last occupant, Francis Doyle) that he supports preservation. The question now is whether the county wants to move ahead with total restoration in the spring – hoping to subsidize its cost with volunteer labor and fundraisers – or wait until enough funds come in. Scot t Cou nty pu rchased the 400-acre Doyle-Kennefick farmstead for $5.4 million in 2004 with nearly $1.7 million in outside funds. Given the current economic climate, the County Board has not wanted to spend additional county dollars on parkland beyond existing levels or what might be generated from park dedication fees and state or regional funds. The 1861 home would become eligible for state Legacy funds if it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. John Dillingham, the oldest grandson of the late Francis
ARCHITECTURAL RENDERING
The long-term proposal for the Doyle house is to strip off the stucco and return the log home to its pioneer-day glory. Doyle, said the family envisions the home as a centerpiece for the regional park. He hopes the log cabin can eventually be restored and rented out to groups such as the Boy Scouts, so children can touch the same logs he once did. “ T h a t ’s w h a t G r a n d p a Francis and Grandma Elizabeth would have wanted,” said Dillingham, adding that developers were lined up to buy the farmstead before his grandfather’s death. “Grandpa always wanted to honor Grandmother’s wishes and make it into a park.” The land is located east of Cedar Lake, south of St. Catherine’s Lake and northwest of Lennon Lake, just off the intersection of County Road 23 and 235th Street. Menden suggested putting up a gate to prevent trespassers. Until its purchase by Scott County in 2004, the home was continuously occupied by the original homesteaders – the Kenneficks – and their descendants. The late Francis Doyle worked as Scott County’s fi rst zoning and planning manager in the late 1960s and into the 1970s. It seems all commissioners now support at least covering the building. Commissioner Jon Ulrich of Savage suggested the board table a decision on total restoration until Commissioner Barbara Marschall
of Prior Lake, who was absent, could attend. The matter is now scheduled for Nov. 8, allowing more time for staff research. “It would be a travesty to tear this down,” Ulrich said. If the county proceeds with immediate restoration, it’s possible a caretaker couple could be found for the park, like at the operational Cedar Lake Farm Regional Park, said county Parks Manager Mark Themig. The construction of trails, planned for 2014 using $200,000 in state Legacy funds, could also possibly be developed sooner. The County Board gave approval to long-term plans for the Doyle site and Cedar Lake Farm, which includes an immediate $ 25,000 to stabilize the 1943 barn at Doyle. It would cost up to $1 million to someday renovate the barn, which may or may not happen, depending on how the park develops. The 1913 “bank barn” at Cedar Lake Farm is more treasured. It would cost $500,000 to eventually remodel the upper level so it could be rented for weddings and other functions. The lower level could become a four-season environment for another $525,000. Although the farmhouse at Cedar Lake Farm, estimated to have been built around 1900, would be useful for wedding parties, it’s not as prized as the Doyle house. A citizen design
committee thought the house should be restored only if outside dollars are found within five years. “I would want to exhaust that topic,” said Ulrich, because the farmhouse could also be used for housing park caretakers. T he Spring Lake A rea Learning Center near Lydia is interested in taking on the Cedar Lake farmhouse as a project, Themig said. Perhaps an architectural class at the University of Minnesota would be interested in overseeing the historical restoration of the Doyle house as a learning opportunity, he added. Although he wasn’t prepared to comment on the financial commitment of his relatives, Dillingham said the family wants to raise funds to restore the home and maybe include a seed donation. Four of Francis Doyle’s five children attended the County Board meeting. Another 40 to 50 relatives were waiting in the wings for news, Dillingham said. A civil engineer who was raised on part of the old farmstead, Dillingham said his cousins include builders and engineers who are willing to put “sweat equity” into restoring the home. “Former farmers is what we are, so we know the value of hard work,” he said.

The first-of-its-kind interchange in Minnesota is nearly complete at the three-legged intersection of county roads 42 and 17. Vehicles began using the overpass three weeks ago and final striping on the main structure went down last Friday. “There’s not much work left, but we want people aware there’s still construction, particularly under the bridge,” said project manager Greg Felt of the Scott County Highway Department. The project used a unique “A + B” bidding process that considers the daily costs of mo-
torists waiting in traffic and taking different routes while the road is under construction. Scott was the second known county in the state to try this method and plans to use it in future projects. W hi le vehicles c a n now travel freely on the overpass on County Road 17, those turning onto County Road 42 underneath might have short delays. Minor g rading and curb work is left, and some ramps will be bumpy until the fi nal wear- course is laid. Lighting is still to be finished. A storm-water pond also must be landscaped. Felt asks motorists to drive slowly under the bridge because of work still being done.
Although common in the East Coast, this is only the second known three-legged interchange – also called a partial or flyover interchange – in the Midwest. A similar one is under construction at County Roads 13 and 101 in Savage. Felt said the design is intended to improve the safety of T-shaped intersections. “We want to eliminate the points where people have the tendency to make mistakes and judgments,” he said. “This one is very unique in the way it’s laid out.” Because County Road 4 2 was at the bottom of two hills, motorists might notice the overpass looks like it belongs there, Felt said. “A lot of interchanges are
