SAVAGE CITY COUNCIL

Incumbents re-elected 14 percent of registered voters went to the polls Election 2011 results

AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com

Council members Al McColl and Christine Kelly and Mayor Janet Williams will each serve another four-year term on the Savage City Council.

Williams secured 90 percent of the votes for mayor while write-in votes accounted for the other 10 percent. Williams said she’d anticipated write-in votes after some residents expressed dissatisfaction with recent decisions made by the City Council.

“When you do something like that, you always have a few people who don’t agree with you,” said Williams.

“The thing that I heard when I was out and about is that people are satisfied with the way things are being run in Savage. I think that we received that message.”

McColl garnered the highest number of council member votes with 1,397 and Kelly was close behind with 1,341 votes.

“I’m happy and humbled,” said

McColl. “The residents of the city stated their voice. I’m assuming the majority who voted agree with what I’ve done over the last eight years. I’m ready to go forward and give the city another four years.”

JULIUS’ DEFEAT Running on a platform of listening to residents’ concerns and lowering city taxes, newcomer Joe Julius trailed Kelly by only 218 votes. He said he was “disappointed” that he was not elected, but remaining positive, he said, “I learned a heck of a lot. I knocked on

Of course, Julius said, not everyone agreed with him.

“Even though I did n’t wi n, Christine some issues were Kelly brought to light,” he said. “I think we made some progress here.”

Kelly said she thought the results showed residents’ contentment with the city’s fiscal responsibility, but she did concede that this year’s election highlighted the “need to be aware of people’s concerns that they’re not being heard.”

The day after the election, Julius said he had already left a message for City Administrator Barry Stock to

PRIOR LAKE HIGH SCHOOL PRODUCTION: ‘FOOTLOOSE’

Theater department cuts loose

Voters say ‘yes’ to levy renewal

he stage in the Prior Lake High School auditorium is filled with girls in loose fitting sweatshirts with the collars cut off, wearing side ponytails and leggings. That’s right, folks: The ‘80s are back.

But it’s more than just the resurgence of some regrettable fashion trends: the school’s theater department is staging “Footloose” as its fall musical, debuting at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17 in the auditorium at the high school, 7575 150th St., Savage.

“It’s a fun flashback to the ’80s,” said director Karina Nelsen.

FILM AND MUSICAL Many of the hallmarks of the 1984 film classic starring Kevin Bacon are present in the PLHS stage adaptation – which is actually based on the Broadway musical – including soundtrack hits like “Let’s Hear it for the Boy” and, of course, the eponymous theme song that was a hit for Kenny Loggins.

The stage show still finds the hero, Ren McCormack, transplanted from the big city to a small town where dancing is outlawed after a group of kids die in a car accident coming back from a dance. McCormack battles the local reverend – who happens to be the father of Ren’s love interest, Ariel – when he teaches his high-school peers to cut a rug and challenge the law.

“The show, at its core, is about

A closer look…

Already dealing with uncertain economic times and a decreasing revenue stream, the BurnsvilleEagan-Savage School District faced the possibility of losing roughly $10 million a year in operating funds if voters decided not to renew an operational levy fi rst approved in 2001 that was set to expire in 2013.

Thankfully for the district, voters refused to let that happen.

On Tuesday, Nov. 8, 67.7 percent of voters confi rmed that they wanted the levy renewed. More than 6,300 votes were cast in the referendum, with 4,280 of those votes coming in as ‘yes.’

The results are unofficial until they are canvassed by the District 191 School Board on Nov. 17.

“I’m not surprised that residents showed this kind of support for education in this community but I am extremely grateful,” Superintendent Randy Clegg said in a press release.

“Although we will still face cuts in the future because state funding has not kept up with inflation, this local support means we can continue to focus on providing excellent education to our students and doing it in a fiscally responsible manner.”

and found a way out is a nice parallel.”

SET DESIGN While the high school has only recently begun doing a fall musical – this is the second – “Footloose” looks like no other production.

It’s ambitiously staged with an intricate set design from technical director Dave Tuma – who had staged the show at another school and thought it would be a great fit for Prior Lake – that includes multiple levels, which allow the actors to climb out of bedroom windows and preach from on high.

The set also means that instead of a pit, many of the musicians responsible for providing the show’s soundtrack are sitting on the set and visible to the audience.

“It gives it a rock show feel,” Nelsen said, noting that the location hasn’t presented any direction issues yet but as tech rehearsals continue before the show opens, those details will be hashed out.

While the slang and dialogue are a bit dated, “Footloose” provides a rare opportunity for students to play students. Breuer said that will help audience members relate to the show.

Richey agrees. “Some people think it’s far-fetched but there are actually hundreds of little towns that have banned dancing,” he said, referencing his own research for his role as Ren. Nelsen, who directed last year’s fall musical “How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying” – a snapshot of ’50s and ’60s values and ambitions – likes to take on period pieces and make them resonate in the present. With “Footloose,” she’s hoping to accomplish that same goal.

“That’s part of me,” she says. “I’m always fascinated by history and social connections from history to the present day … I’m fascinated by how similar we are.”

George Robert Van Fossen, the Level 3 Predatory Offender who moved into the 13700 block of Yosemite Avenue on Nov. 1, was the subject of a heated community notification meeting at city hall on Wednesday, Nov. 9.

More than 100 residents packed the council chambers, many of them spilling into the hallway, hoping to have their questions answered.

Mark Bliven, a representative from the Minnesota Department of Corrections, began the meeting by giving an hour-long presentation that could be broken down into three sections: information on predatory offenders, specific information on Van Fossen and tips for keeping children safe from predators.

“The important thing to keep in mind is that this is not something new, in Savage or anywhere else in Minnesota,” Bliven said. “We have always had sex offenders in the state, but it’s only been since 1997 that there’s been a move from the legislature to say, ‘We think it’s important to share this information, especially about higher risk offenders.’”

a real good campaign. They’re both good people. This is not a lose for the city,” said Julius.

VOTER TURNOUT If residents of Savage wanted to make themselves heard by their constituents through their voter participation, there wasn’t an overwhelming outcry.

Only 14 percent of Savage’s registered voters went to the polls Tuesday to elect City Council members, according to information provided by Scott County.

Of the 15,621 registered voters as of 7 a.m. on Tuesday, 2,215 individuals cast their votes. The number is slightly higher than the 2009 city election when 2,021 of the 15,662 registered voters (12.8 percent) in Savage voted, but signifi-

cantly less than the 93 percent of registered voters who turned out for the 2008 presidential election.

Williams said the 14 percent turnout is “typical in an odd-year election,” and thought the percentage might actually have been higher this year than the 2009 election because of the voters who came out for the District 191 levy renewal.

McColl agreed. “The voter turnout jumps all over the board in these off years. Historically, you always see a lower turnout.”

Kelly found the voter turnout to be “sad from so many perspectives.”

“Yeah, I won, but it certainly isn’t a mandate from the whole community,” said Kelly. “I just think it’s sad when our democratic process doesn’t have more people who are engaged and involved.”

CITIZENS AIR GRIEVANCES After the presentation, Bliven took questions from the crowd for nearly an hour, leading to more than a few contentious exchanges.

One of the first questions asked was, “Why here?”

“That’s a common question every community asks,” Bliven said. “Just like anybody else, he can make that decision why he’s moving, he doesn’t have to tell us.” Bliven explained that if Van Fossen were still under supervision, he probably would have to answer why he chose to move to the area.

Severa l of t hose aski ng questions said they lived on Yosemite Avenue, and many of their concerns revolved around children.

One Yosemite Avenue resident said there are three day cares on that block, and others expressed concern that Van Fossen’s presence will change the culture of the neighborhood. “It’s a neighborhood fi lled with children,” one woman said, “They are not outside anymore.”

Bliven was asked why the Department of Corrections couldn’t keep Van Fossen from moving to an area with so many children.

“We’re the messengers here,” Bliven said. “We don’t have the ability to tell somebody where to live. He completed his sentence, and just like anybody else here, he can move where he wants.”

Another concern was that Van Fossen seemed unwilling to undergo treatment and didn’t seem to have many qualms about doing time in prison.

“I know what the statistics and the probabilities are [about assaults committed by strangers], but when I go to work my night shift, there’s no amount of analysis that will make me feel better about my daughter sleeping 300 feet away from this guy,” said Casey Johnson, who described himself as a close neighbor of Van Fossen’s.

In the end, Bliven encouraged residents to contact police if Van Fossen appears to be doing anything suspicious, even if it’s not illegal.

Muelken echoed that sentiment. “We have 32 police officers, six of them are in your neighborhoods right now, but we have 150-plus sets of eyes that are going to be assisting us,” he said, referring to those in attendance. “I think we can be well assured that we’ll know what’s going on in your neighborhood, not just with this gentleman, but with any suspicious activity.

Your neighborhood is going to be much safer when you all unite and come together like this.”

ing on doors and talking to people, I was shocked at the number of people who didn’t even know there was an election.”

On the other hand, Julius thought the voter turnout was “excellent,” although he was under the impression that closer to 4,500 voters went to the polls.

Williams said the city has discussed moving to an evenyear election, but feels the odd-year election “is more focused.”

“Those who care one way or another came out. I think the percentage reflects that,” said Williams.

McColl said he’d like to see more residents get out and vote, but he doesn’t know if switching to an even-year election is the answer.

“There are a lot of veterans who have given up their lives and their limbs to provide us with this honor,” said McColl.

Investing in education is investing in community In late October, I was master of ceremony for Foundation 191’s seventh annual Fun-Raiser at the McColl Pond Environmental Learning Center (ELC) in Savage. The event raised funds for Foundation 191, the education foundation of the Burnsville-EaganSavage School District.

Our mission is to enhance, enrich and expand educational opportunities within the district and I am the board president. This year’s featured performer was “The Amazing Hondo,” a motivational magician. Hondo amazed the audience with a string of magic tricks sprinkled with humor and wisdom. A former math teacher, he incorporated our organization’s mission into his show. For the fi nale, Hondo extracted a piece of a playing card torn earlier by an audience member that somehow ended up in a popcorn package sealed bowl and stuffed in a backpack beneath his magician’s table. The crowd loved it.

Fundraising helped Foundation 191 award 11 grants for the 2011-2012 school year totaling over $10,000.

The grants are awarded to projects submitted by teachers and staff in ISD 191 in an open application process. This year there were 27 applications seeking over $90,000.

The need is great and the proposals were creative and innovative.

This year’s grants included the First Robotics team at Burnsville High School (BHS). Students design and build a robot for competition against other schools. The team demonstrated the robot at the FunRaiser.

Other grants included the Maud Hart Lovelace book awards at Rahn Elementary School, Positive Behavior Intervention Strategies (PBIS) at Nicollet Junior High, Reader’s Theater at Edward Neill Elementary, History Day Club at Nicollet Junior High, Calculator Lending Library at BHS, Parent Involvement Project at Sioux Trail Elementary, English as a Second Language Co-Teaching in second grade at Edward Neill Elementary, The Edge Summer Program at M.W. Savage Elementary, Empty Bowls for Full Bellies at BHS and the BHS Bridge Program. It is estimated over 2,000 students will have the opportunity to participate.

The Calculator Lending Library grant facilitated purchase of graphing calculators at BHS that can be checked out like library books by students unable to afford them. Empty Bowls for Full Bellies lets BHS students make ceramic bowls and serve bread and soup to raise funds for Brain Power in a Back Pack. This project sends backpacks fi lled with food home with hungry kids. PBIS is a schoolwide program to promote and reinforce positive behavior among junior high students. The ESL co-teaching project places an ESL

teacher in a second-grade class to help English Language Learners.

Reader’s Theater promotes fluency and engagement by students performing by oral reading. The Maud Hart Lovelace awards lets students vote for the winners from a series of fiction books they read. The Parent Involvement Reading Project enhances parent involvement in reading for struggling readers. The BHS Bridge Program helps at-risk junior high students transition into high school.

History Day Club is an enrichment program for students to research and create history projects suitable for competition. The Edge provides social and recreational activity while teaching responsibility.

New and innovative projects are important for expanding and enhancing educational opportunities for students. The time spent by kids in school is priceless. Exposure to new ideas, opportunities and experiences will prepare them for life afterwards.

Funding the grants and programs is a direct investment in education and youth in our own community.

Funding projects in the schools takes money. Foundation 191 receives funds from event proceeds like the Fun-Raiser, donations from individuals and corporations, stock donations, United Way, restricted donations and memorials, to name a few.

We co-sponsor the Dan Patch Days run and hold an annual golf tournament in September. We are comprised entirely of volunteers and raising funds is a challenge in a struggling economy. Our Web site is www.foundation191.org.

Success can be measured by the number of grant applications and number of students who benefit from projects. Ultimately, the true measure of success is helping young people in our community to be inquisitive, creative and productive members of society.

Today’s students are tomorrow’s future. We can build a better community by investing in their education today.

LETTERS FROM READERS OPTIMIST CLUB

Showing support encourages youth Since 1954, Optimist International has promoted a program titled “Youth Appreciation.” During the week of Nov. 13-19, our local Optimist Club joins many others in recognizing the positive actions and contributions of young people.

Around the world, children and youth are volunteering and engaging in service projects in record numbers. They are a big part of making their communities, their nation and the world a better place. The energy of these young people can be seen as they mentor children younger than themselves, teach others to read, raise money to help others less fortunate then they are, help care for our environment and develop service projects to meet a variety of community needs.

When young people are engaged in service, they experience their own

power to effect change, become more connected to people who are different than them, understand the connections between the real world and what they are learning in school, and become engaged in the life and issues of their communities. They also are more likely to stay in school, more likely to vote when they are of age, and less likely to engage in antisocial behaviors.

Our world needs the enthusiasm, energy and ingenuity of youth. Please join us in recognizing and acknowledging the efforts of our local youth.

Take the time to support and show our youth that we care for them. Help us nurture our future leaders so they will continue with a lifelong path of service and civic engagement.

Young people need to know that they are treasured as individuals and that their positive actions and choices are greatly appreciated. Through our loving care and guidance, today’s youth have all the potential it takes to make our world a better one.

LETTERS FROM READERS DISTRICT 719

Returned from Wolf Ridge with gratitude My daughter and I returned from the Wolf Ridge environmental trip last week. As a parent chaperone for the trip this year, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the fi fth-grade teachers who accompanied us from Redtail Ridge Elementary. Without the tremendous amount of work they put into this trip, it defi nitely would not have been the success it was.

I was immediately encouraged by the enthusiasm these teachers have for each and every student in the group. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and the organization that went into preparing us and the students for the experience was impressive. The teachers brought knowledge from past Wolf Ridge trips and professional expertise in managing groups of children, which taught us and inspired us as chaperones to do our best in our roles as assistants. They were the cheerleaders for the chaperones who were not accustomed to leading 15-18 kids.

The teachers were the only adults that knew all of the children, and the children had a sense of familiarity with their teachers that they did not have with the chaperones. When the homesickness set in for some, the kind words of encouragement, the hugs and the “magical” lemon drops were more comforting coming from their teacher than they were coming from the chaperones. It meant the world to the kids to have their teachers there, witnessing their triumphs on the ropes course and rock walls. The pride on the faces of these teachers as they shared in “their” kids’ successes was something I’ll never forget.

While the groups were out exploring the woods of the North Shore, the teachers were taking turns sitting alone in the health office waiting to dispense medications and band-aids.

The teachers were discreetly washing bedding for a child who had an accident during the night. They were giving chaperones advice on how to help keep the kids engaged, on task and learning. They were our support during the week. The teachers were the glue holding everything together. The teachers were on duty 24 hours a day.

Any additional compensation the teachers were paid during this week most certainly fell short of the sacrifices they made and the value they added to the experience.

I would also like to thank the families of these teachers. Their families had to be without a mom, dad, wife or husband for the week, and it was a sacrifice for them as well. Thank you to the administration in the district for continuing to support the teachers and the Wolf Ridge program. To the Friends of Wolf Ridge organization, I express my gratitude for funding the staff on this trip. It is truly an amazing experience for these children.

For five days the students, teachers and chaperones became a family laughing together and crying together. We were learning about our environment and about each other. It was an experience that I was privileged to be a part of and I thank the teachers for that.

EDITORIAL

We choose our religious involvement Martin Bracewell’s editorial last week raised my ire. (“Separation of church and everything?” Nov. 5.)

The gist of his message is that Christians are “persecuted” in America for their beliefs. This is laughable.

The definition of (religious) persecution is “a program or campaign to exterminate, drive away, or subjugate a people because of their religion.”

This is not happening in a nation that is over 78 percent Christian.

Instead, what is happening is that true patriots in this country are calling attention to the fact that a small group of “religious” fundamentalists are trying to enshrine their religious beliefs as law.

One of t he reasons A merica was settled was to escape religious oppression. The founding fathers were very aware of the danger of religion-influenced government, and addressed this in the Bill of Rights, which says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” Bracewell’s article says he fi nds it strange that many people fear that Bachmann and Perry might try to establish a theocracy. It isn’t strange at all; both Bachmann and Perry have publicly stated that they want to turn their religious beliefs into law, which is the very defi nition of a theocracy. One need only look at Iran to see how a theocracy looks.

It’s as simple as this: we can practice – or not practice – the religion we choose, and no one has the right to make the choice for us. That extends to laws based on religious beliefs.

That’s what America is about. The exercise of – or lack thereof – my religion does not, and cannot, take rights away from anyone else.

It is the hypocrisy of the right wing that they constantly bemoan the government interfering with their lives, yet at the same time want to interfere with our lives by making their beliefs law.

Americans [he serves], including the 15 million unemployed,” I have to question who he is truly interested in serving.

His “regulations tour” serves as a perfect example. Instead of organically meeting and receiving feedback from his constituents, Kline elected to tour sites specifically selected to benefit from an agenda that he, by his own admission later in the commentary, has already chosen to pursue in Congress. This is roughly the equivalent of Gov. Dayton coming out in favor of the state funding the Vikings stadium in its entirety and then touring the Wilf Mansion on a “stadium feedback tour.”

What are the burdensome “regulatory roadblocks” that Mr. Kline encounters on his tour? The fi rst is an EPA regulation to restrict dust.

Admittedly, this sounds ridiculous.

That is because it is. As the Washington Post pointed out on Nov. 2, a proposed rule to regulate dust does not exist, and never has.

Congressman Kline moves on to the EPA’s proposed rules to restrict the already “over-regulated” cement industry, and while he seems eager to parrot the industry’s doomsday job projections, he never goes so far as to say what the regulations propose. Well, namely, they are asking the cement producers to cut back on the amount of mercury (a toxic poison that can cause premature death, impair childhood development, and cause a host of respiratory and heart-related issues) that they emit while producing cement.

Is it entirely unreasonable that the Environmental Protection Agency attempt to curtail the amount of poison in our air?

Rep. K line also bemoans the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), an institution insistent on “dictating where a private business can and cannot create jobs.”

What Mr. Kline doesn’t mention is that the NLRB has sued to prevent Boeing’s South Carolina plant from opening because there is compelling evidence that Boeing elected to build the plant in South Carolina purely to spite the machinists’ union that comprises much of Boeing’s workforce in its home state of Washington. This, if true, is a violation of U.S. law.

What is appalling is less the action of the NLRB, but rather the fact that the House of Representatives proudly passed a bill to curtail the power of the NLRB, an independent institution whose sole purpose is to enforce United States labor law. The details aside, the fact that a dispute between whether jobs exist in Washington or South Carolina is near the top of Kline’s list for creating “new” American jobs is perplexing.

Congress’ approval rating is at an all time low, largely because our elected representatives are perceived to be beholden more to political party and big industry than to their constituencies. Mr. Kline’s commentary, while adorned in shades of populism, does nothing to argue that perception.

PET OF THE WEEK

BRIEF

How about an easy going, very friendly kitten to keep you company when you get home. Born in May 2011, this active kitten is a door greeter, who will ankle rub and purr to welcome you home. Sammy likes being picked up, will jump into your lap when you sit and enjoys being brushed. He is passive but playful with most cats and gentle children. Sammy, a brown tabby, also has a tabby brother looking for a home.

The above abandoned pet Sammy is being housed by the CarverScott Humane Society and is available for adoption. Pets have been checked by a vet, wormed, given updated shots, have a micro ID, checked for friendly dispositions and spayed or neutered if they are adults. The donation fee for a cat starts at $165+ and fees for a dog start at $195+. If you can give a pet a home, call the humane society at (952) 368-3553.

I must confess I have been living in a state of denial.

These fall days have been so crisp and glorious; the nights have been peaceful and clear.

I have been going out in the yard, lifting my face to the sun and trying to convince myself that winter just might not happen this year.

But I’ll admit, one reason I have been looking up is because, if I had dropped my face down and looked around, I would have seen all the yard work that still needed to be done. My daylilies were wilted and flat, looking like pretty ladies after a wild night of dancing. The deck chairs were stacked, patiently waiting to be stowed away after a summer of being splashed with sunshine and lemonade.

Leaves, of course, were everywhere, bustling about in the blustery yard like crazed field mice running from an invisible cat. I had thought about rounding them all up, but I was patiently waiting for the red maple in the front yard to drop its leaves. Besides, it was easy to be patient because winter still seemed a long time coming.

And then this week the weatherman said the dreaded “S” word. I was jolted out of my tranquil autumn reverie and back into the real world.

SNOW. Possibly measurable.

Midweek. Eek! I threw on my old clothes and went dashing out into

Kids are off, but teachers still at work Behind the scenes of an early-release day

BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com

Parents of students in the Prior Lake-Savage Area School District know these days all too well. They come up every so often, signified by spiky boxes on the official district calendar.

Early-release days.

They can be a headache for parents, who may have to scramble for supplementary care when students leave school two hours ahead of schedule.

But for teachers, early-release days are less of a migraine and more of a Godsend.

“The time is just so crucial for teachers,” said Betsy Shaskey, a second-grade teacher at Redtail Ridge Elementary School in Savage.

CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC The days have been a source of controversy at the district level, most recently with District 719 School Board Member Todd Sorensen and Chairman Eric Pratt voting against the 2012-13 school calendar due in large part to its inclusion of early-release days, which are used for staff development.

“We need to develop as professionals,” Shaskey says in defense of the days.

Last Wednesday’s two-hour early-release day at Redtail Ridge was the second of six early-release days slated for the 2011-12 school year.

For the fi rst part of the day,

classroom teachers, specialists and special education teachers sat at tables in the Redtail Ridge media center, taking notes and following along with handouts as Principal Barb Yetzer discussed the school’s “kiddos” and their performance on last year’s mandatory Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment exams and Measures for Academic Progress tests.

Afterward, teachers swapped technolog y tips, discussed sharing student data across grade levels to better equip and prepare fourth-grade teachers for their current and future students, and inquired about problems with the district’s e-mail service.

The groups then dispersed, with special education teachers working on statewide monitor and compliance directives, which deal with how student progress is reported to the Minnesota Department of Education. When asked about the importance of the day’s staffdevelopment duties, specialeducation teacher Jill Lacher was blunt.

“This will keep us out of court,” she replied, noting that the district can be sued for failing to meet the state’s compliance standards, which are increasing in rigor.

W hile specialists met to discuss themes of upcoming

“Early-release days are actuby grade level to tackle a list of tasks for the district’s new el- ally a much fuller day for teachementary National Geographic ers,” she said. “It doesn’t mean that less learning gets done or science curriculum.

If you were to enter a classroom in the Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools on any given day, the instructional delivery method might be quite different than what you would expect. Rather than standing at the front of the classroom delivering instruction, many staff members are “flipping” their teaching methods to become more of a lead learner in their students’ educational journey. Student voice is becoming more important than ever in making meaning of new learning.

In an age when many answers can be found in just seconds, teachers are enhancing their students’ education in several ways. Teachers build positive relationships as they assist students to make sense of the world around them.

They help students form new knowledge based on where their classroom journey takes them during the school year.

In each scenario the teacher acts as the coach by encouraging students to take an active role in their own learning.

For example, in a recent visit to Prior Lake High School (PLHS) choral director

Sue Ann

GRUVER IN TOUCH

Tom Hassig was preparing his vocal choirs for an upcoming concert. Mr. Hassig is not only an outstanding choir teacher; he is also very much a coach for students. Their opinions count. Student feedback helped locate their positions based on the acoustics of the auditorium. The students then provided a critique and analysis of the selection just completed. Student voice is literally a key ingredient of success for these students.

On a recent Monday morning I visited Mr. Ray Knapp’s Advanced Placement Physics class. Student participation again led the class to dis-

covery of needed formulas to solve complex equations.

All of this was done in and outside of the classroom with 30-plus students seamlessly transitioning from space to space. Student engagement was high as they worked in collaborative groups to solve the problem together.

The middle school experiences I have observed this fall also exemplify the changing role of the “lead learner” in the classroom. In Mrs. McMahon’s cooking class, eighthgraders created a meal in cooperative groups while their teacher coached individuals.

In Ms. Daniels’ eighthgrade English class, students assessed each other on spontaneous two-minute speeches and then set individual goals for their next challenge.

In our elementary schools, teachers practice the principles of Responsive Classroom.

At the beginning of the school year teachers help students create classroom rules that allow all students to meet their learning goals rather than simply “hand down” the rules to the students.

Similarly, students establish

their own hopes and dreams for the school year and teachers help them to achieve their goals. The learning is tangible, meaningful and puts the student at the very forefront of their own education.

We pride ourselves at Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools in that we are a community of lifelong learners. Our teaching staff embraces the fact that even as adults, we never stop learning. To that end, our teachers never stop learning about innovative ways to engage students in their classroom.

That is why the five early-release days scheduled throughout the school year are so valuable to teachers. Those days are spent pouring over student test scores, making meaning of the data and then collaborating on ways teachers can reach the individual learners in their classroom. In addition, teachers are continually working to implement best practices in their own classroom each day.

Nov. 13 kicked off American Education Week. This is a perfect opportunity for our community to recognize our outstanding staff at Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools for the incredible work they do each day on behalf of our students to create a meaningful and engaging learning environment.

Please know that during this coming week and throughout the year, the teachers in Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools are continually challenging our students and themselves in the pursuit of excellence.

OURSCHOOLS DISTRICT 191 PRODUCTION: ‘THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW’

Headless Horseman comes to Eagle Ridge

BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com

If you go …

A

nyone thinking the passing of Halloween would mean respite from spooks and scares clearly hasn’t been hanging around Eagle Ridge Junior High School. The building’s theatrically-inclined students, under the leadership of director and English teacher Amy Stead, have been crafting a world of frights for this year’s fall show, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.”

If the title sounds familiar, that’s because the production is based on the classic Washington Irving short story frequently taught in middleschool and junior-high English classrooms – including at Eagle Ridge – and made into an eerie film starring Johnny Depp in 1999. The Eagle Ridge depiction, however, is a departure from Irving’s text, one that embraces the story’s humor without skimping on the scares.

“I like this version because it’s a little more light-hearted and it doesn’t take itself too seriously,” said Lucas Heyne, an eighth-grader at Eagle Ridge who is taking on the role of Brom Bones in the play.

“It still manages to be pretty creepy.”

What: Eagle Ridge Junior High School’s production of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” When: 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17 and Friday, Nov. 18; 3 and 7 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 19 Where: Performing Arts Center, Eagle Ridge Junior High School, 13955 Glendale Road, Savage Cost: $5 All three BurnsvilleEagan-Savage School District junior-high schools – which include Eagle Ridge, Nicollet Junior High School and Metcalf Junior High School – are performing “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” this fall.

Nicollet and Metcalf students’ production debuted Thursday and will run through Sunday.

Eagle Ridge donated its Performing Arts Center to stage the shows and play host to the cast’s rehearsals.

In case you were sleeping during English class, here’s the CliffsNotes on “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”: Superstitious teacher and Connecticut transplant Ichabod Crane comes to Sleepy Hollow and falls for heiress Katrina Van Tassel. Unfortunately for Ichabod, local troublemaker Brom Bones – whom Heyne describes as “cocky and thinks he’s the coolest thing that ever

hit anywhere” – also has eyes for Katrina.

The version of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” that will debut at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17 in Eagle Ridge’s Performing Arts Center is also markedly different from the one the school’s theater department staged a few years ago. Stead said students have asked “for years” to do the play again, which is a good fit for fall, when the school’s theater department typically tackles a classic.

Stead, who has occupied the director’s chair for the last 12 years, was behind Eagle Ridge’s earlier production of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” – which she deems “more literal” – but prefers the current interpretation.

“I really like this version because it’s like Reader’s Theater and requires the audience to use their imagination,” she said before invoking the descriptor du jour.

Eagle Ridge Junior High School students, from left, August Hannasch of Savage, Monica Burt of Savage and Lucas Heyne of Burnsville rehearse a scene from “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” the school’s fall play.

Hannasch, who plays Ichabod Crane, and Heyne, who plays Brom Bones, are both in eighth grade. Burt, who plays Katrina Van Tassel, is a ninth-grader.

“It’s really creepy at the end.”

Heyne and Stead aren’t alone. Many of the people involved with Eagle Ridge’s production of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” called it “creepy,” including ninthgrader Monica Burt, who plays Katrina.

“We make it really creepy,” she said. “I was creeped out.

Everything from the music to the way we move is creepy.”

Even with the heightened creep factor, 13-year-old August Hannasch – who plays Ichabod – said it’s still family friendly.

“This version is more of a comedy than a horror story,” he said. “It’s made for a younger audience.”

That blend of horror and humor is present in the original text, according to Stead, with Hannasch’s character providing a lot of the laughs.

“The setting is a character in itself and it’s really creepy, and yet really funny things happen,” Stead said. “Ichabod is such a doofus. He’s such a goof. He’s just easy to scare.”

With its 18th century setting, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is a world away from the technology-filled existences the play’s student stars lead, but the stars welcomed the challenge.

“It’s definitely different,” Burt said. “You have to put yourself in their shoes and think about what they’d think and not what you’d think …

You base it off other people.”

Burt said the play has more depth than the source material. That combined with the staging, which Stead called “stark,” means a weightier burden for the show’s cast.

Stead has encouraged her actors to contribute and collaborate during the rehearsal process.

“They’ve been really good and I’ve allowed them to add a lot to the creative piece,” she said.

The result of all this collaboration?

“This is turning out to be far scarier,” Stead said.

More bank robberies keep suburban police on alert

BY ALEX HALL AND SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

201395

Another day, another bank robbery.

Police believe the same suspect who robbed Prior Lake State Bank on Oct. 22 and Paragon Bank in Shakopee on Nov. 1 also robbed banks this week in Richfield and Albertville.

In each case, the suspect has wor n a dark ski mask and a black, zipped-up hooded sweatshirt, and has displayed a handgun and demanded cash.

However, police say another Prior Lake bank robbery – shortly after noon on Nov. 5 at U.S. Bank, 15830 Franklin Trail – is not likely connected with the others.

In the U.S. Bank case, a suspect approached the teller counter while speaking on a cell phone. He demanded cash, and after obtaining an undisclosed amount of money, he fled from the bank on foot. He left in an unknown vehicle that witnesses described as possibly gray in color. He was described

REAL HIGH.

ARE YOU WILLING TO BE SUMMARILY DISMISSED? If you are behind on your debt payments and the creditor decides to sue you, he may try to convince the judge that none of the facts of the case are in dispute and that he (the plaintiff ) is entitled to payment as a matter of law. For instance, the creditor may say that you signed an agreement, made no payments, and have no valid reason for not paying. If the judge agrees with the creditor filing a “summary judgment motion,” he or she can enter the judgment against you without a trial ever taking place. However, if there are important facts in dispute, you have every reason to contact a lawyer and oppose the summary judgment.

During these difficult times, the legal and financial issues have become entwined and you need a good lawyer to help you sort out all the details. Our compassionate attorneys have years of experience dealing with the various aspects of financial difficulties and we can help you if you’re struggling with debt issues or bankruptcy. In addition, we provide legal services if you’re writing a will, dealing with probate, or simply thinking about writing a will. If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please call 952-226-1202. Our address is 6001 Egan Drive, Suite 140, Savage, MN. Multiple Services.

Singular Commitment.

HINT: While responding to a summary judgment motion can be complicated, the entire lawsuit may be at stake. Consult with a lawyer to see whether it is worth your while to fight.

“We’ve got third-generation skiers coming out to take lessons. It’s really quite something. It’s amazing how busy this place is here in the winter.”

Fred Seymour Alpine Services Manager, Hyland Ski & Snowboard Area in Bloomington

Winter games Try downhill skiing or snowboarding in Three Rivers Park District’s Snow Sports Academy

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

A

couple weeks ago, a huge Nor’easter dumped record snow on the East Coast, despite the calendar still reading October.

Remember 20 years ago, the Halloween Blizzard of 1991 when Old Man Winter dropped a record 28.4 inches of snow on the Twin Cities over a three-day period?

Call it a reminder that winter will soon be on its way.

This time of year, many skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts are dusting off their equipment, awaiting their chance to hit the slopes or fly through the air on a wicked snowboard jump.

If you are a beginning skier or snowboarder or are just looking for some friendly competition, perhaps you should look into Three Rivers Park District’s Snow Sports Academy.

Registration for youth and adult programs is underway, along with

competitive team signups at either Elm Creek in Maple Grove or Hyland Ski & Snowboard Area in Bloomington.

Three Rivers Park District has instructors from all over the Midwest, using proven teaching techniques to help you learn the basics or take your skills to an even higher level. The academy offers group lessons and semi-private lessons based on the need of the individual.

According to Fred Seymour, alpine services manager at Hyland, between 35,000 and 38,000 lessons are given each winter at Hyland, ranging from toddlers to adults.

The Snow Sports Academy has been around more than 50 years.

“The program has been a huge success,” Seymour said. “We’ve got third-generation skiers coming out to take lessons. It’s really quite something. It’s amazing how busy this place is here in the winter.

“We’ve had skiers take lessons who have gone on to compete in the (Winter) X-Games and even the Olympics.”

The most recent skier from Hyland to compete at the highest level is Edina-native Kaylin Richardson, who competed in the 2010 and 2006 Winter Olympics in the Super Combined and Combined.

Richardson started out skiing in the Snow Sports Academy, Seymour said.

Getting to the Olympics is a long shot for many young skiers, but there are other good reasons to brave the chilly winter temperatures either on a pair of skis or snowboard.

How about exercise? What’s better than trying to stay fit and healthy? Skiing and snowboarding can build endurance and strength.

“The beauty of winter sports is you can do it from childhood to older age,” Stephen Olvey, a doctor and professor at the University of Miami School of Medicine, told WebMD.com in a story about top winter sports. “It also lends itself to family involvement so you can have kids, grandkids and grandparents all involved.”

According to Olvey, downhill skiing is “a power sport that

improves balance, flexibility, agility, and leg and core strength. Snow skiing also doesn’t strain the back muscles, tendons, and joints like water skiing does.”

Snowboarding uses a variety of muscles, “calf muscles, hamstrings

and quadriceps to guide the board; ankle and feet muscles for steering; and abdominal muscles for balance,” the article also states. And if you’re looking to burn calories, a person weighing 150 pounds can burn 480 calories an hour.

DISTRICT 191

Student enrollment continues downward trend

BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

For each year in the past decade, the Burnsville-EaganSavage School District has seen a decline in total enrollment. And while enrollment is expected to decline again next school year, Business Services Director Lisa Rider said she expects enrollment figures to level off beginning in the 20132014 school year.

Rider presented the board with this year’s fall enrollment numbers, as well as future enrollment projections, at the Nov. 3 meeting. The Minnesota Department of Education requires a report containing enrollment fi gures by the beginning of October and at the end of the year.

This October, the district had approximately 9,605 students enrolled, compared to 9,696 students at this time last year.

While not a major decrease in enrollment, it is representative of a larger, decade-long trend of decreasing enrollment for the district.

Fall enrollment for the 20012002 school year was 11,434 students. That means in the last 10 years, enrollment has

dropped by 1,829 students, or 16 percent.

“We have been in a declining enrollment mode,” said Rider, “although I would say that at least in the last four years, that decline is something that has been very planned and managed for. So it’s not like all of a sudden we just took a deep dive, or something like that.”

But that decrease has meaning ful implications for the district. School districts are funded on a per-pupil unit (PPU) basis, and the state will be paying out $5,174 per pupil to districts this year. The district also receives additional money per pupil through local aid and levies passed by voters.

And enrollment numbers aren’t expected to improve next year, either. The district’s 2011-2012 senior class has 916 students as of October, which is 137 more students than the next highest grade level in the district. The graduation of that senior class this spring is expected to cause another dip in enrollment for next year.

Rider said that based on a weighted average using the past five years of enrollment data, the district only expects enrollment to drop by roughly 50

“If you just conservatively take the difference of last year’s total students [leaving the district] versus students coming in, that difference is just shy of 800 students. That’s an entire school, folks.”

Dan Luth Burnsville-Eagan-Savage Board of Education students between the 2013-2014 and 2016-2017 school years.

“The demographer that we had take a look at our district in 2009 indicated that we would get to 9,400, 9,500 students and then we’d start leveling off,” said Rider, “and I do believe we’re on that path.”

LEAVING THE DISTRICT Another aspect of the report that concerned some board members was the increasing number of students that are leaving the district to attend school elsewhere, namely the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan and Prior Lake-Savage school districts.

In the 2007-2008 school year, 887 students residing in District 191 boundaries chose to attend school in a different district. By the 2010-2011 school year, 1,314 of those students decided to leave,

LEVY continued from page 1

The question posed to voters requested a renewal of the $ 845.68 per pupil portion of the school district’s existing referendum revenue authorization, which was scheduled to expire after taxes payable in 2012. According to the ballot question, the proposed referendum revenue authorization will be applicable for 10 years, beginning with taxes payable in 2013.

The levy will not increase property taxes, but had the levy not passed, homeowners would have seen a property tax decrease from what they will pay this year, according to

you just conservatively take the difference of last year’s total students going out versus students coming in, that difference is just shy of 800 students. That’s an entire school, folks. So at [approximately] $7,500 a student, that’s like $6 million of lost revenue … that’s a pretty significant exodus of revenue in a time when funds are tight, and we know they’re going to get tighter.”

an increase of 427 students, or nearly 50 percent.

The district does have students who live in other districts’ boundaries and choose to attend school in the BurnsvilleEagan-Savage School District, but significantly more students are leaving the district compared to those coming in.

Board members Bob VandenBoom and Dan Luth expressed concern over the number of students leaving the district, and asked Rider for data outlining which grade levels and schools see the most students leaving.

They also requested a map detailing which locations tend to have the greatest concentration of students leaving.

“It’s pretty striking,” Luth said of the increasing number of students leaving the district in the past four years. “Because if

Another aspect of Rider’s report showed some significant changes to the demographics of the district’s students over the last decade.

In the 2002-2003 school year, 11 percent of district students were identified as black and four percent as Hispanic. This year, however, 18 percent of students were identified as black, and the percent identified as Hispanic has more than tripled to 13 percent.

The district has also seen a sizable increase in the percentage of elementary students who are considered to have limited English proficiency, or LEP. In the 2002-2003 school year, 8 percent of elementary students were considered LEP, but by the 2011-2012 school year, that number tripled, jumping to 24

percent. The percent of secondary student who are considered LEP, however, is the same this year as it was in 2002-2003, at 6 percent.

District 191 Business Services Director Lisa Rider. Rider said taxes would have decreased by $339 per year for a $200,000 home for taxes payable in 2013, and owners of a $350,000 home would have seen a $593 per year decrease.

In the district’s 2011-2012 budget, which was revised in September and lists expenditures in excess of $158 million but $4 million less than the previous year, the district had to pull $2.1 million from their fund reserve to cover operational costs. To do so, the school board had to waive their policy that the fund balance be at least 8 percent of the total budget, instead accepting it as 6 percent of the budget.

The district also will likely

have to borrow money by the end of the school year to cover operating costs, Rider said.

The district planned to sell $12 million in aid anticipation certificates this July to help cover operational costs for the 20112012 school year, but legislation at the state level complicated matters, Rider said. So the district decided to wait until spring before making a fi nal decision related to how much money it will borrow.

So while the renewal of the levy doesn’t fi x the district’s financial issues, it certainly prevented them from becoming catastrophic.

“It gives us a little more sure footing as to where we stand exactly,” said Rider. “So now we can move forward here

knowing we have a little bit of stability in regards to the $10 million being available for the next 10 years.”

H o w e v e r, t h e r e n e w a l doesn’t mea n t he di st rict won’t have to make a bevy of tough budgetary decisions in the coming years. Rider said the district will begin making serious cuts starting with the 2012-2013 school year in order to maintain its fund balance.

“We have always said that, and the fact is, that’s our reality,” said Rider.

Another operational levy, originally approved by voters in 2007, is set to expire after the 2017-2018 school year. That levy provides the district roughly $7.5 million each year.

FOOTBALL

Champs for a first time Lakers crush Eastview to win section crown

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

Winning a section championship takes myriad things – t a lent , c om mit ment , h a rd work, patience and perhaps a little luck.

It also takes guts and knowing the exact time to reach into your opponent’s chest and rip its heart out.

That’s how the Prior Lake football team became Section 3AAAAA champions Nov. 4.

The second-seeded Lakers took the will right out of fourth-seeded Eastview midway through the third quarter en route to a 27-7 home victory.

It’s the fi rst section title in the program’s long history and the Lakers celebrated with their fans in a football-style mosh pit seconds after the awards ceremony. The Lakers also dumped Gatorade on their coach and

even shed some tears of joy.

“You have a vision of what you want a program to look like,” said Lakers coach Matt Gegenheimer, who’s in his sixth year guiding the team.

“And this is what it looks like.

“These kids have invested so much time into this football season and this team,” added Gegenheimer. “Over the years, all the hard work has added up and these kids fi nally got paid for it.”

Senior Matt Arends couldn’t contain his emotions in the jubilant celebration. His rugged 38-yard touchdown run

down the sidelines in the third quarter broke a 7-7 tie.

The Lakers added two more touchdowns in a dominating fourth quarter, a 1-yard run from senior Jack Kaiser and a quarterback sneak from a yard out from senior Topher Rose with a 1:28 left in the game.

“We’ve worked so hard for this,” said Arends. “We knew we had the talent as far back as the seventh grade. This is what we’ve all worked so hard for.

This is a special group of guys.

I can’t even tell you how proud I am of this team.”

Prior Lake (8-3) faced Totino Grace, champions of Section 2, in the state quarterfi nals Friday, Nov. 11 in the Metrodome (results not available at press time) The Eagles (9-1) were 14-7 winners over Mounds View in their section title game.

Best for last

Slowed on state trails Scholl leads way for PL; but team is well back in the pack

Blaze peaks again at state, takes second

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

Once again, the Burnsville boys cross country team saved its best for last.

There’s something about the Class AA state meet that gets the Blaze’s blood pumping.

Burnsville earned its third straight top-four fi nish, taking second in the team standings Nov. 5 at St. Olaf College in Northfield. The program was fourth last year and third in 2009.

The runner-up showing is Burnsville’s best fi nish since 1986 when it won the state title, the fi fth in the team’s history.

Stillwater won this year’s crown with 92 points, while the Blaze fi nished with 115 points.

Edina was third (129), followed

by Rosemount (132), Eden Prairie (137) and Andover (149).

“We wanted to win,” said Blaze coach Jeff Webber. “That was our goal. We were not that far off.”

The Blaze was making its fourth straight state appeara nce, t a ki ng 15t h i n 2 0 0 8.

The last time the prog ram competed in four in a row was back in the late 1970s when it won four straight state titles (1976-79).

How does Webber always seem to be able to get his team to rise to the occasion late in the year? He’s said the whole season is always geared toward the end, sections and state.

“We preach from the beginning of the summer that our goal is to do well in those last two meets,” said Webber. “All the other parts in between are just pieces to the puzzle. We will purposely run meets during the season and not go full out, but instead practice our last two miles. The emphasis is always on the last two meets.

Then we let it all go.”

Burnsville senior Cole O’Brien makes the turn up the hill for the final 300 meters at the Class AA state meet Nov. 5. He finished fifth, helping the Blaze take second as a team.

This year’s state meet was the last for two talented Blaze seniors, Cole O’Brien and Abdul Salan. Both earned all-state honors (top 25). For O’Brien it was the third time he’s earned it. He fi nished second overall last year and fourth in 2009.

O’Brien was hoping to become only the third Burnsville runner to win a state individual title in his final appearance, but it didn’t happen. He ended up fifth overall (third in the team race) with a time of 15 minutes, 46.3 seconds on the 5,000-meter course.

The winning time was 15:29.9

by Wayzata’s Josh Thorson.

“I think Cole got out a little too slow, so he was battling to get back up to the lead pack,” said Webber.

The Prior Lake girls cross country team was a little off in its ninth straight appearance in the Class AA state meet Nov. 5.

About 20 seconds off, according to Lakers coach Dan Saad.

Prior Lake finished 13th in the team standings, a little further back than expected.

“It was a very competitive race,” said Saad. “Except for a couple of our girls, we were off by 20 seconds or so. When you have girls below 16 minutes you are more likely to move up in the team standings. If not, you’ll fall back.”

Three of the Lakers’ seven runners were under 16 minutes on the 4,000-meter course at St. Olaf College in Northfield.

Prior Lake finished with 286 points, well back of champion Monticello (93).

Lakeville South was third (118), followed by Wayzata (140), Shakopee (168), Roseville (184), East Ridge (187), Alexandria (194), Edina (206), Eagan (212), Forest Lake (251), Chanhassen (262) and Andover (270).

“Overall, it was a very successful season,” said Saad.

“Making it to state is always the goal and we did that again.

When you are there, you hope for the best. I would have loved to have done better, but I’m proud of the girls for their hard work.”

Five Lakers ran their final career race at state. Senior Taylor Scholl was competing in her school-record sixth straight state meet. She ended up 15th in the team race and 25th overall to become the first Laker to earn all-state honors since 2007.

She finished with a time of 14 minutes, 54.8 seconds.

Senior Samantha Anderson ended up 61st overall (31st in the team race) with a time of 15:24.0, while senior Madison Lesmeister was 107th (64th in the team, 15:55.3).

“Taylor ran well,” said Saad.

“I know she wanted to be top 15, but she had a nice race. Sam ran about where she has all

Ready for a recovery Blaze anxious to prove its worth again

Prior Lake senior linebacker Jake Deavers makes one of his team-leading 13 tackles in the Section 3AAAAA title game Nov. 4, helping the Lakers to a 27-7 win over Eastview.

STATE continued from page 17

If the Lakers got by Totino Grace, they’ll face either perennial power Eden Prairie or Anoka in the semifi nals Friday, Nov. 18 at the Metrodome at 8:15 p.m. The title game is Nov. 25 at 7 p.m.

The Lakers’ defense allowed just 17 points in three section wins, while Prior Lake scored 100 points in the three games.

Senior linebacker Jake Deavers, the team’s leading tackler, said the momentum of the game switched early in the second half.

Prior Lake tried an onside kick to open the fi nal 24 minutes. It didn’t work. Eastview recovered at its own 43-yard line and marched down the field inside the Lakers’ 20.

But the drive stalled, including senior Will Mcphearson breaking up a lob pass in the corner of the zone on second-and-7. So instead of trying a 32-yard field goal with the wind, the Lighting tried to convert a fourth-and-6 from the 16-yard line.

Senior Kirk Lair and juniors Parker Anderson and Elijah Patrick combined to sack Eastview quarterback Ryan Reger for a four-yard loss.

“That stop really set the tone for the second hal f,” said Deavers. “It got us on the right track. It gave us momentum.”

Eastview had the moment u m goi ng i nto h a l f ti me.

Prior Lake got a 1-yard touchdown from junior Jack Johnson in the second quarter for a 7-0 lead. It was Johnson’s 13th touchdown of the season.

Johnson helped set up the score with a 26 -yard run, while sophomore quarterback Nick Rooney hit junior receiver Nick Hart on a 30-yard pass on third-and-8 to put the Lakers at the 5-yard line. It was Prior Lake’s only completion in the game.

But Eastview answered, getting on the board with 6 3 seconds left before the break on a 54-yard scoring pass. Prior Lake had a blown coverage on the score. It was really the team’s only hiccup on defense.

“Our defense played tremendous,” said Gegenheimer.

“We stopped them (to start the second half ). That was big and we started to take over the game with our running attack.”

Kaiser finished with 111

Prior Lake junior Dylan Cole raises his arms in victory. yards, while Johnson finished with 107. Prior Lake had 312 yards of total offense, 282 on the ground.

Eastview kept trying to get wide on the Lakers’ defense.

Prior Lake sort of dares teams to do that.

“I love those pitches outside,” said Deavers. “Our linebackers are fast. We have a great team speed on defense.”

“Our guys know how to get to the edge and make plays,” said Gegenheimer.

Eastview also struggled passing the ball. Reger completed 13 passes for 158 yards, but about half of those complet ion s a nd ya r d s c a me down 27-7 when the Lakers were g ivi ng up t he shor t pass underneath late in the game.

Deavers led the Lakers with 13 tackles, while senior Ted Choudek had eight, senior Karmichael Dunbar and Lair each had seven and Arends had six.

Meanwhile, once the Lakers feel like they’ve got a defense on its heels – and the Lightning were just that midway through the third quarter – Prior Lake just keeps pounding the ball smashmouth style.

Eastview had no answer for Kaiser, Johnson or Arends in the second half. Prior Lake started to chew up big chunks of yards on the ground behind an unheralded offensive line, seniors Nick Brant and Ma rcus Babcock, ju niors Ryan Landherr and Cody Kohout and sophomore Drew Trabing.

Arends finished with 68 yards on the ground.

“We just kept pounding the ball and working the perimeter,” said Kaiser. “I think we wore them down a little. We knew they were getting tired and we kept pounding.

“This is what we’ve wanted for a long time, to win sections and get to state,” added Kaiser.

“It feels so great.”

The Burnsville girls hockey team endured its first-ever losing season last winter.

Don’t count on the program finishing below the .500 mark again.

Burnsville has a talented core of players returning, including its top two goal scorers, its top-five defensemen and its No. 1 goalie.

“The girls are very excited about this year,” said Blaze coach Bruce Anderson. “We finished pretty strong last season and played pretty well in the playoffs.”

The Blaze lost 4-0 in the Section 3AA semifinals last year to Eastview, despite outshooting the Lightning 26-18.

The Blaze won in the quarterfinals at Park 2-1, scoring twice in the final two minutes to pull off the upset.

The Blazed finished the season with a 12-14 overall record.

The 12 wins were the fewest in the team’s history, which dates back to 1995.

In 2010, Burnsville won the Class AA consolation title, finishing with 22 wins.

The Blaze program is used to being in the thick of things come playoff time. Last year, the Blaze started slow and never really recovered until late in the year.

Anderson feels Section 3AA is wide open this year. There are no teams from the section ranked in the preseason Class AA poll. Minnetonka, the defending state champs, opened at No. 1.

And guess who the Blaze opens the season against? Minnetonka.

The Blaze hits the road to take on the Skippers Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m.

Burnsville’s non-conference schedule is pretty tough to include No. 3 Edina and Hopkins (third at state in 2009), along with two section foes, Park and Hastings.

Burnsville’s top-two scorers back are in sophomore Paige Skaja, who had 19 goals last year, and senior Jennifer Maloney, who had 16, along with 18 assists.

Sophomores Lindsey Coleman and Briita Nelson had eight and seven goals, respectively, while senior Allie Waters had four goals and seven assists.

Back on defense for the Blaze is juniors A lyssa Pearson,

Ninth-grade goalie Madison Schertler started both games in the playoffs last year and really started to play well towards the end of the season. The experience she got in net last year should only benefit her this winter.

Others expected to contribute to the team: seniors Megan Ellingson and Rachel Prairie, junior Alaina Blair, sophomore Sam Vikstrom, ninth-grader Maddie Dockry and eighthgrader Lauren Bench.

Beginning a new era PL’s hopes are high, despite its third coach in three years

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

If the Prior Lake girls hockey team wants to be a factor in the South Suburban Conference (SSC) and in Section 2AA, it will need to fi nd more offense.

The Lakers were shutout six times last year, including 5 - 0 to Edina in the section semifi nals.

Prior Lake opened last season losing its fi rst nine games, before playing .500 the rest of the way to fi nish 9-18 overall, 6-12 in its fi rst season in the SSC. The Lakers head into the season with higher hopes, but also their third coach in as many seasons. Todd Johnson takes over the job from Jaime Grossman, who lasted one season before taking over head job at Eden Prairie (a section foe).

Johnson was the junior varsity coach at Eden Prairie the last two years.

Johnson is confident the Lakers will be competitive this winter as well as finding a little more offense.

“Our goal this year is to be better this week than we were last week,” said Johnson. “We need to play better at home.

We are blessed with one of the nicest facilities in the state.

We will be playing our best hockey when the section playoffs begin.

“I believe the goals will come from a variety of players,” added Johnson. “And I expect our defense to contribute offensively. Scoring by committee will be key.”

The Lakers wil l have to replace the offense of Alex Citrowske, now playing Division I at Bemidji State. She had 26 goals last year and 71 in her five-year varsity career.

The Lakers’ top scorer back is senior forward Michelle Juerissen, who had 10 goals and 12 assists last year. Ninth-grade defenseman Lindsey Harris will also be one to watch. She’s entering her third varsity season, fi nishing with 11 assists last season.

Senior defenseman Claire Clark and senior forward Paige Walstad are also entering their fourth varsity seasons. Walstad had two goals last year, while Clark had four assists.

Sophomore Amber Galles had four goals, while ninthgrader Keely Totenhagen had two goals and two assists.

Other forwards expected to contribute are: seniors Brittney Schulz, Megan Kallberg and Amanda Muller, sophomores Laura Emory and Bailey Halstrom and ninth-grader Andrea Citrowske.

Joining Clark and Harris on defense will be seniors Mackenzie Brant and Phairyn Lancaster and sophomore Allison

Prior Lake sophomore Lexi Brant started all 27 games for the Lakers last year, posing five shutouts with a 3.33 goals-against average.

Muller. Lancaster is a transfer from British Columbia.

In goal, the Lakers will be in the capable hands of sophomore Lexi Brant, who started all 27 games last year, fi nishing with a 3.33 goals-against average and three shutouts. Ninthgrader Maddie Hill will back up Brant.

“Although she’s still only a sophomore, Lexi already has a full year-plus of varsity experience,” said Johnson. “She will need to be a solid contributor to our defensive success.

“The girls made our job very difficult during the foursession tryouts,” added Johnson. “ T his is a ver y ha rdworking, dedicated group of athletes. We are very deep in the ninth-grade and sophomore group, so I expect our

junior varsity to not only be successful, but to push our varsity players all season. We are very optimistic going into the season.”

Prior Lake’s section is pretty strong at the top with No. 3-ranked Edina and No. 8 Eden Prairie in the field. Last year, the Lakers beat Shakopee 5-0 in the section quarterfi nals for only their second playoff win since moving up to the Class AA nine years ago.

The Lakers open this season Tuesday, Nov. 15 at home versus Wayzata at 7 p.m. Prior Lake’s fi rst road test is at Centennial Saturday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m.

The conference opener is Nov. 22 at home versus Rosemount. Lakeville South, ranked No. 10, is only SSC team in the preseason Class AA poll.

The Burnsville girls swimming team has three really strong swimmers who likely made huge impact at the Section 2AA meet.

But four swimmers are needed for a relay and that was the biggest question for the Blaze going in. Who would be No. 4?

The section prelims were held for Nov. 9 with the fi nals ending F riday (results not available at press time).

At the beginning of the season, the Blaze’s 200-yard medley and 400 freestyle relays looked strong with the likes of senior Teresa DiGregorio, junior Anna Elling, sophomore Alexis Dobrzynski and eighthgrader Angela Le. But when Dobrzynski injured her ankle back in early September and missed seven of the team’s last eight South Suburban Conference duals, Blaze coach Kim Harrod has had to do some juggling.

Dobrzynski, a state entrant in the 100 backstroke last year, did swim in the Blaze’s fi nal conference dual Oct. 27. But the biggest concern at sections was would Dobrzynski’s ankle be strong enough to push off the wall on flip turns?

Her time in the backstroke against Jefferson was 1:16.84.

She qualified for state last year with a time of 1:01.22.

Meanwhile, Elling and DiGregorio were looking to get back to state in two individual events. They fi nished fi fth and sixth, respectively in the 100 butterfly at state a year ago.

Elling was also 11th in the 200 individual medley, while DiGregorio was 14th in the 100 breaststroke.

Le had been really close to the state cuts going into sections in multiple events, the 50, 100, 200 and 500 freestyle, along with the 100 backstroke and the 100 butterfly. So whatever she swum at sections, she was a strong bet to qualify for state in two.

This year’s state meet is Nov. 18-19 at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.

Diving right in Lakers’ Notermann gets one last shot at state

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

Sydney Notermann has fi nished in the top 10 in diving at the Section 2AA meet the last three years.

Was the Prior Lake senior able break through in her fi nal section appearance and earn one of the four state spots?

That question was answered Thursday (results not available at press time). The section swimming prelims were held Nov. 9 with the fi nals concluding Friday.

Ninth-ranked Prior Lake went into sections as the defending champs.

Last year, Notermann finished fi fth at sections and was less than one point (.85) from qualifying for state. She took eighth in 2009 and was 10th in 2008.

Three of the top four fi nishers in diving from sections last year were back, including the defending champion, junior Kelly Jeans of Bloomington Kennedy, (322.35) and the runner-up, junior Hadley Byrne of Bloomington Jefferson (314.50).

Sophomore McKenzie Haneg raa f was four th last year (291.20).

who was not back was 2011 Prior Lake graduate Stephanie Keller, who was two-time state diving entrant, fi nishing third at sections last season (304.75).

Notermann fi nished with a score of 290.35 last year.

Going into sections, Notermann competed in five competitions this fall where there were 11 dives. Her best score was 329.30 at the University of North Dakota Invitational Sept. 24. She broke the 300 mark (304.30) at the Lakers’ own invite Sept. 17. She scored a 297.45 at the Class AA State True Team Oct. 19 and had 288.30 at the Section 2AA Section True Team Oct. 15.

Notermann also had a 279.94 at the Minnetonka Invitational Sept. 10.

Meanwhile, the Lakers didn’t have an individual section champion last year, but did win one relay, the 200 medley, and got all three of them to state.

The six swimmers who competed at state last year that were back at sections were: juniors A lex Yaeger and Elizabeth Hartell, sophomores Elizabeth Cunningham, Taylor Dessler and Monica Banasikowski and eighth-grader Lauren Harris.

Yaeger finished third at state in the 100 butterfly last year in her third straight appearance.

She also was 12th in the 200 individual medley.

Dessler competed in the 200 freestyle, taking 21st, while Cunningham swam the 200 individual medley and was 26th.

Hartell, Banasikowski and Yaeger were part of the 200 medley state relay a year ago that was sixth. Banasikowski, Harris, Cunningham and Dessler made up the 200 freestyle relay that was 15th, while the 40 0 freestyle team that took 13th included Yaeger, Banasikowski, Dessler and Cunningham.

This year’s Class AA state meet is set for Nov. 17-19 at its annual site, the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Diving prelims are the first day, followed by the swim prelims the second. Finals for both are the fi nal day starting at 6 p.m.

“I think he lost a lot of energy out there doing that. Not to make excuses for him, but he was sicker than a dog two weeks ago. He didn’t run for three days. Sometimes, it’s hard to come back from that.”

Salan ended up 18th overall (seventh in the team race, 16:06.7).

Webber said O’Brien and Salan were valuable leaders, who won’t be easily replaced next fall.

“For both of them, it’s been there consistency and setting a new normal for this team that has set them apart,” said Webber. “They’ve showed the younger runners where they wanted our team to be and how to get there.”

Ninth-grader Faysol Mahmoud a nd s ophomor e A l i Ahmed will likely be the lead runners next year. Competing in their fi rst state meet, Mahmoud finished 27th overall, (12th in the team, 16:13.9), while Ahmed was 28th (13th in the team, 16:14.2).

Junior Shawn Wong was the Blaze’s fi fth runner, taking 127th overall (80th in the team, 17:33.1). He was competing in his second state race.

Also running in their fi rst state meet were sophomore Sam Houching, who took 150th (103rd in the team, 18:12.5) and junior Jake Stevens, who was 152nd (105th in the team, 18:13.4).

The two Burnsville runners who won individual titles are Jay Wallace back in 1981 and Rob Finnerty in 2007.

The program also competed in the state team race in 1984, taking 10th.

Also competing for the Lakers were senior Lauren Bruha (143rd, overall, 97th in the team, 16:31.9) and junior Madeline Schulze (145th overall, 99th in the team, 16:35.0).

“Kirsten was off by about 20 seconds and Mackenzie was off by about a minute and she knew it,” said Saad.

“We didn’t have a good workout as a team on Tuesday (Nov. 1) and it showed up in this race.

“Mackenzie was all-conference and overall she had a very good season,” added Saad. “It wasn’t her day.

You learn as you go and she’ll get another chance next year.”

Schulze will also get another chance next year, along with junior Amber Tieman, who was a state alternate.

Saad will have to fi nd a way to replace the five seniors, who combined competed in 18 state races. “ We ’ l l n e e d s o m e o f younger runners to step up next year,” said Saad. “This was a great group of seniors, who did a great job of leading this team and setting the example.”

Last year, the Lakers fi nished ninth at state and are just two years removed from the program’s best-ever fi nish (second in 2009).

Prior Lake has also fi nished fourth two times (2005 and 2007), fi fth once (2006), seventh once (1989), 10th four times (1993, 2001, 2004 a nd 2 0 0 8 ) a nd 15t h once (2003).

Blaze’s Hett 40th at state

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

Vivian Hett was the lone representative for the Burnsville girls cross country team at the Class AA state meet Nov. 5.

The sophomore was making her third straight appearance and was looking to improve on her two middle-of-the-pack fi nishes the last two years.

Hett was able to accomplish that, fi nishing 40th overall out of 158 runners on the 4,000-meter course at St. Olaf College in Northfield.

Hett fi nished with a time of 15 minutes, 12.8 seconds.

Sh a kop e e ju n ior M a r i a Hauger won her third straight individual title with a time of 14:04.1, edging Alexandria senior Jamie Piepenburg by eighth one-hundredths of a second. Hauger passed Piepenburg in the fi nal 10 meters.

Top-ranked Monticello ended up winning the team title with 93 points, 25 better than runner-up Lakeville South, while Wayzata was third (140) and Shakopee was fourth (168).

The last time the Blaze qualified as a team was in 2007 when

Burnsville sophomore Vivian Hett finished 40th at the Class AA state meet Nov. 5. it won the overall team crown.

Hett’s older sister, Erica, was a junior on that squad, fi nishing 25th to earn all-state honors (top 25).

Erica also ran at state as a senior, fi nishing 21st with a time of 15:03.3. So Vivian will have that time and place to shoot for to be able beat her older sister in the next two years.

Hett has improved her time in each of her state appearances. She was 82nd as an eighth-grader with a time of 16:06.8 and took 78th last year fi nishing in 15:40.9.

Burnsville has had one individual champion in its history – Darnel Johnson in 1980. The girls’ program has also made two other state appearances as a team, taking ninth in 1980 and third in 1978.

Learning to wait could change us for the better Waiting. Patiently. Not a strong suit for many of us.

Our pursuits of efficiency in completing our daily tasks and the busyness of our lives have made waiting into public enemy No. 1.

When we go to get our oil changed and it takes 25 minutes for them to finish the job, the passing of those 25 minutes has no effect on us whatsoever. But if we have to wait 20 minutes to pull our car into the service stall we get frustrated. Ah, but they know us, so they put a timer display outside the building to keep us calm!

If we spend half an hour shopping at the grocery store, that’s no problem. But if the checkout line is more than two deep, we wonder who’s running the place and hope that someone will open another lane nearby. And God forbid we should wait when we are hungry! We go out to eat and we hope beyond hope that the “wait staff ” really doesn’t take their name too seriously.

Sometimes it gets ugly.

You’ve been there when the waiting pushes someone over the top.

A couple of years ago I spent three hours waiting in a plane parked at a departure gate for the repair of a radio.

It would have been easier to wait if the captain had not told us that the radio that they needed to fix was for international use (we were on a domestic flight) but that it needed to be fixed per FAA regulations nonetheless.

The middle third of the plane played audience to an obnoxious display of incivility as a frustrated passenger called the airline’s customer service line on his cell phone and proceeded to let loose with a tirade that would have made a sailor blush. Let’s face it, we don’t wait well.

One of my favorite bands is U2. They have a song titled “Forty” that is all about waiting.

Steve

BONESHO SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS

I waited patiently for the Lord He inclined and heard my cry He brought me up out of the pit Out of the miry clay How long to sing this song?

How long to sing this song?

How long, how long How long, how long to sing this song?

I will sing, sing a new song I will sing, sing a new song Frustration with waiting is nothing new. This U2 song is taken right out of Psalm 40 in Jewish and Christian scripture.

But it is not written in reaction to being pushed to the edge of our convenience tolerance. It is written as people collectively cry out that the only hope that they have is for God to intervene and change the course of their lives. They have done all that they can and they pray that God will intercede on their behalf and give them a new song to sing.

My flight eventually took off and landed in Miami where I connected on my way to Haiti.

I was journeying with Feed My Starving Children, a local hunger relief organization. One of our tasks on the trip was to distribute food at a local village.

When we arrived we found the residents waiting for us, in a line that was at least 300 people deep. We were told that they had been there for nearly three hours. Their waiting reminded

me of that U2 song and their hallowed patience stood in contrast to my own experience of what it means to wait.

Sometimes our waiting bears fruit. Sometimes it causes us to see things differently and to sing a new song. If you speak to pastors, social service providers, school teachers and social workers in Scott County, they will tell you that this economy has more and more people in our community waiting at the brink of despair ala Psalm 40. What will be our song in response? Will we lament about our busy holiday season of scurrying to get through our sacred lists and the lack of time to get everything done? I pray not.

I hope to sing a new song this holiday season. Maybe you will join me? We can sing this new song together! The first verse goes like this: “Slow down and seize the season for what it is.” The second: “Be thankful for our bounty and share it generously in meaningful ways.” The third: “Spend less money and give more of who you are.”

And maybe as a chorus we can change the way we stand in lines. Instead of spending our time on our phones, or looking at our watches, or checking our lists, perhaps we can invest our time in a conversation with the people around us.

Sometimes, while we are waiting, we are invited to join a song that is way bigger than we can imagine. A song that is filled with passion and purpose and harmonies of our connectedness. A song that is hidden deep within all of us longing to be sung. A song that gives us life. A song that gives the world life. A song that brings our waiting to a quiet end.

OURSCHOOLS SHAKOPEE SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION

Bowerman, McKeand, Tucker top three vote-getters

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

The results are in, and the Shakopee School District has three pieces of its new School Board figured out.

Reggie Bowerman, Angela Tucker and Matt McKeand were the top three vote-getters in Tuesday’s election. All are newcomers to the School Board, though Bowerman previously served as an appointee.

Bowerman, 46, led the way with 2,525 votes, or 25 percent of the total cast. Tucker came

in second with 2,277 votes (23 percent), followed by McKeand with 2,091 votes (21 percent).

Bowerman didn’t see the results until early Wednesday morning. “I’m thrilled,” he said. “I’m very grateful I have the opportunity to serve on the School Board and work with good people, meaning the board and the administration.”

Candidate Jeremy Casper, 31, came up short with a total of 1,625 votes, or 16 percent.

A fifth candidate, Andrea Bauer Gustafson, who withdrew from the race in Sep-

‘Grease’ is the word at Shakopee High

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

Pull on your bobby socks and slick back your hair, Shakopee High School is going back to the ’50s.

The Shakopee High School d ra ma depa r t ment i s p erforming the stage-version of “Grease” Nov. 17 through Nov. 20 in the high school auditorium.

Fans of the movie, be prepared for alterations to the beloved story of the T-Birds and Pink Ladies as they navigate love and life at Rydell High School in 1959. The musical has new songs, more character development and a rawer script than the Hollywood version, the directing team said.

“One of the biggest challenges with ‘Grease’ is creating our own version and not creating the movie,” co-director Katie Irvin said.

Still, the cast and crew have worked hard to stay true to the era’s 1950s rock ‘n roll vibe, students said. “[The audience is] going to love the music because they’re going to come in and it’s going to be songs that they can sing along to,” said senior Allison O’Shaughnessy. “I hope they go home and pop “Grease” into the DVD and say, ‘Oh, that musical the Shakopee High School did was so much better.’”

Alyssa Fox, junior Radio voice, ensemble What’s it like being in the ensemble: It’s really fun because you get to make your own character and you get to play with that the whole time you’re in the background.

Favor ite Alyssa “Grease” Fox song: “You’re the One that I Want.” It’s the memorable piece that I remember from “Grease.”

F avor it e ’5 0 s f a s h io n piece: Shoes. I love the shoes from the 1950s. They’re comfortable and cute.

When was the fi rst time you saw “Grease:” I saw the movie years ago, and I just fell in love with the music and the acting and John Travolta. So when they said we were doing “Grease” in high school. I was super excited and I had to try out.

Lucas Kelly, junior Stage manager What does your job en-

tail: It’s prett y much my job to b e i n charge of the crew. To make sure everyone is on their cue for the stage changes and make sure evLucas erything goes Kelly right.

How d id you start with theater: My sister actually got me into it when I was in seventh grade.

This is my fi fth or so year doing it.

Favorite “Grease” song: “We Go Together.” It’s really upbeat and catchy.

F avor it e ’5 0 s f a s h io n piece: Probably the way the Greasers dress with their jackets and their hair slicked back and all of that.

Allison O’Shaughnessy, senior Betty Rizzo Favorite “Grease” song: My f avor it e Grease song, “ M o o n i n g ,” which is sung

by Roger. It’s ju st s o c ut e to watch him a nd t he gi rl who plays Jan. They just sway and do Allison harmony with O’Shaughnessy each other.

Favor ite ’50s fashion piece: The shoes, which we don’t really even get to wear and I’m bummed about it. And the tea-length ankle dresses, bright colors.

When was the fi rst time you saw “Grease:” I was 12 and my mom said this is the best thing you’ll ever see in your entire life. She put it on and I fell asleep. But I grew to love it.

What’s unique about your production: The cast. It’s a production of people who come from all walks of life, just like in “Grease.” We have really excellent props. We have a car that moves on stage. We’re very excited for that. I think it’s just going to be vibrant and something that people don’t expect.

Anastasia Reino, sophomore Lighting, tech crew What’s the biggest challenge of your job: If there’s any last-minute changes to the set, we have to redo all of our work.

Favorite “Grease” song: “Summer Nights.” It’s just a really fun song and the lighting is going to be really great.

Favor ite ’50s fashion piece: Poodle sk i r t s, de f initely. They’re just really fun and frilly, and it’s something that’s unique to the ’50s.

Anastasia W h at’s Reino unique about your production: It’s not the same as everyone’s seen in the movie. That’s what everyone is expecting.

But there’s a lot of changes that have been made. There’s a lot of new, fun songs that have been added.

Caleb Richards, junior Doody Favorite “Grease” song: I rea l ly li ke “Those Magic Changes” bec au s e t h at ’s the one song that Doody has … It’s kind of different than all the other music in the show because Caleb it’s more perRichards sona l to t he cha racter …

He’s kind of awkward and he doesn’t know how to deal with girls.

F avor it e ’5 0 s f a s h io n piece : Probably the poodle skirt, and everyone says that.

But it’s really iconic … It’s strange to think that back then they actually wore these big, giant skirts with poodles on them.

When was the fi rst time you saw “Grease:” Two weeks before I auditioned, actually.

What’s unique about your production: We dig deeper into single characters, wherein the movie they mostly focus on Kenickie and Rizzo and Sandy and Danny.

not wh at he had expected, but he de f i nitely learned a lot in the process. Casper plans to take a few d ays and evaluate t he resu lts before decidMatt i ng whet her McKeand t o apply for the open School Board seat, which was left vacant by the resignation of Tony Bonsante in September.

DISTRICT 719 AGENDA

“It’s been great just learning more details about the district,” said Casper, noting he defi nitely plans to stay active in the schools even if it’s not on the School Board.

The top three vote-getters all served on the district’s facilities task force. Bowerman and Tucker had also served on numerous other district committees.

“I feel as though my contributions to the district really stood out and people in the district saw that,” Tucker, 36, said.

Bowerman, who ran for elec-

tion in 2009 but was not elected, believes name recognition, his local education experience, and vast amount of support in letters to the editor and encouragement all helped him win a seat.

McKeand, 37, noted he was disappointed for Casper, who he called a smart and capable candidate. McKeand believes endorsements and word of mouth helped him gain the voters’ support.

“I’m thrilled,” McKeand said. “I look forward to serving with Reggie and Angela.”

on Schlangen’s “book” has 12,622 pages but one definitive message to all vets: “You are not alone.”

Schlangen’s book, “All Wars Veterans Memorial,” is a memorial to all the U.S. veterans who have served in the U.S. military during wartime beginning with the Revolutionary War – 43 million individuals.

Schlangen, of Eden Prairie, is commander of the Chanhassen American Legion. His mission in making the memorial is to remind people that each and every person who has served in the U.S. military during wartime counts.

“This honors each and every ser vice member, i ndividually, regardless of where they ser ved, when they ser ved, how they served or why they served,” Schlangen said. “They all gave their lives for a time – some forever.”

Schlangen’s memorial is also an attempt to staunch the number of enlisted and vet suicides.

“Suicide among the enlisted is at an all-time high,” Schlangen said.

According to military estimates, Schlangen said service member suicides occur at a rate of one per day. The suicide rate for all veterans is estimated at 18 per day.

A fter hearing Maj. Gen. Larry Shellito, Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs commissioner, speak last year on the suicide rate, Schlangen

Chanhassen American Legion Commander Ron Schlangen built a “book memorial” that honors the 43,277,096 U.S. military veterans from the beginning of the American Revolutionary War through July 2007 of the Global War on Terror. It is currently on display at the Chanhassen Library. decided to take action.

“I thought, ‘how do I get this to vets so that they know they’re not alone, that they are part of this huge group of people who’ve served, that they are not anonymous?’” said Schlangen. “In order to commit suicide, you feel alone. I want to show that we’re all in this together.”

MEANINGFUL MEMORIAL

at a glance meals - cost $ $$ $$$

Schlangen fi rst had the idea to create the book memorial in 2007. That’s when Eden Prairie veterans began planning a Veterans War Memorial for the city.

“I started thinking about all the veterans’ memorials I’ve seen,” Schlangen said. “I kept having a feeling that there was something missing at each one. Some I liked better than others. Some said more than others. Some had more effect on veterans than others. “ T he two that I thought had the most profound effect on most everyone were the Vietnam Veterans Wall and

the national cemeteries,” Schlangen said. “Both contain something for each and every veteran they represent individually. The wall has a name for each Vietnam veteran killed in combat and the cemeteries have a marker with a veteran’s name for each and every veteran there. That’s great as far as it goes. But what about the rest of us? I wanted something more.”

Schlangen presented his idea to the committee.

“But because I wasn’t sure what form this memorial would take, I couldn’t sell it,” Schlangen said. “If I didn’t know exactly what it was going to be then how could I convince others? The veterans’ memorial moved ahead in another direction.”

But he didn’t abandon his idea. He searched the Internet for exact numbers and ended up with figures from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and found that 43 million have served since the Revolutionary War. “Talk about not being alone,”

Schlangen said.

He realized what a massive undertaking it would be to put his idea into something tangible. How wondered how he would represent each and every person?

“Would I put up a plywood wall and put one nail in it for each veteran? No. The wood would rot and the nails would rust. Would I put one marble in a concrete wa lkway for each veteran? No. I didn’t want them to be walked on. What if I planted one flower for each veteran? With more than 8.7 million veterans from the Vietnam War alone, planting that many flowers would take time and land.”

He fi nally settled on an avatar, a graphic representation of each individual.

The result, printed on 12,622 pages – both sides – is a virtual representation of the 43 million who have served since the Revolutionary War. It will be on display at the Chanhassen Library, 7711 Kerber Blvd. throughout November.
