Students ‘blaze’ news trail

BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com

On Monday morning, a group of students wandered the hallways at Burnsville High School with a camera and tripod in tow. They weren’t late for class nor were they skipping; they were simply looking for cool places to plank.

Meanwhile, their peers sat on stools in room E120, pitching: Black Friday? Favorite Thanksgiving memories and traditions?

This is the life of a student in Tyler Krebs’ video production class.

The 28 students in the section spend each week crafting the almost-sixminute newscast, from the seeds of story ideas to a fully bloomed broadcast, beamed across the airwaves each Thursday morning.

“I wanted to have something that the student body could see and say, ‘How do I get involved with that?’” said Krebs.

This is the first year that the school has offered this class, with “Blaze Weekly” making its broadcast debut on Nov. 3, but Krebs is no rookie. His father did video production and Krebs taught for 14 years at Eastview High School in Apple Valley, where his video production class students produced a similar news digest called “The Flash.”

“I was ready for a new challenge and came here to start this program,” Krebs said of his decision to cross the border and teach at Burnsville High School, where he is also the head football coach.

There have already been some growing pains for the semester-long

Tune in Watch past episodes of “Blaze Weekly” at www.youtube.com/ user/TheBlazeWeekly. class. Unlike the much newer Eastview, Burnsville’s building isn’t really wired for every classroom to simultaneously broadcast the “Blaze Weekly” feed.

“The biggest issue is that the technology infrastructure isn’t in place,” Krebs said. “We’re really trying to do something in a new way which the school isn’t built for.”

Taking the leap alongside Krebs are his 28 students, some of whom

The changes made by the Savage City Council to its meeting room reservation and use policy during its work session Nov. 14 weren’t exactly what 8-year-old Shrey Pothini was hoping for.

The City Council agreed to drop the rental fee for the Marion/Marietta room at City Hall, which has a capacity for 80-100 people, from $75 to $25 for a four-hour period. However, there will no longer be a fee waiver for nonprofit groups or the Savage Chamber of Commerce. The changes will go into effect Jan. 1, 2011.

The Oxford Room (capacity 12) and McHenry Room (capacity 10) will still be available to reserve at no charge.

After the meeting, Pothini said he was disappointed that the City Council didn’t agree to waive fees for individuals like himself who wanted to utilize the room to collect items for a nonprofit agency.

“The reason I wanted the policy changed is so that other people would have a reason to help a nonprofit by collecting donations at their party,” said Pothini. “Even though the room fee was reduced for parties, I am not sure that people will use it to help others, but I really hope that they do.”

Shrey Pothini, 8, of Savage requested that the city allow groups to use the community room at no charge if their activities would benefit a nonprofit agency.

The Savage Police Department announced last week that a Level 3 Predatory Offender moved into the 7300 block of West Highway 13. This is the second time in the past month that a Level 3 Predatory Offender has moved to Savage.

Dashondra Webster, 30, notified the Minnesota Department of Corrections on Oct. 14 that he’d be moving to Savage. Webster also contacted the Savage Police Department on Oct. 17 to notify officers of his move to Savage.

Webster was convicted of two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct in Scott County District Court in 2003 and one count of fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct in Anoka County District Court in 2008.

According to the Minnesota Department of Corrections, Webster has a history of sexual contact, including penetration, with females ages 12 to 17. Webster was known to his victims and gained compliance through use of force, and he also provided alcohol to one of the victims.

Webster completed his prison

The Savage Police Depa r t ment conducted community notification Dashondra earlier this month Webster by using their InfoNet crime alert system and by mailing a letter to addresses within a half mile of Webster’s address.

Savage Police Department Capt.

Dave Muelken said the city will not be holding a community notification meeting for Webster as he is moving into an area that isn’t very residential. In January, police held a community notification meeting for Level 3 Predatory Offender Steven Roger Jones, who had also moved into the 7300 block of West Highway 13, and only four people showed up.

Webster is a black man with black hair and brown eyes. He is 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 181 pounds.

City to hold neighborhood meeting for sports dome

BY AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com

need to determine potential users of the dome to get an accurate picture of usage and annual operating revenue.

Representatives from Oppidan presented the fi ndings of a market and fi nancial analysis during the meeting Nov. 14.

If the City decides to move forward, Stock said a tentative timeline would be to select an architect in December, solicit bids in February and March, begin the project May 1 and complete the project by Oct. 1, 2012.

I n order to complete a n indoor sports dome project by next October, the city of Savage has some big decisions to make in the next couple of months.

During its Nov. 14 work session, the City Council agreed that the next step in determining if it wants to move forward with an air-inf lated indoor sports facility at Community Park is to hold a meeting with adjacent property owners in late November or early December.

“We need to make a decision if we’re moving forward

by December or January to meet an October opening,” said City Administrator Barry Stock.

After that, the City would

TO BUILD OR NOT Stock said there had been some speculation that a private entity was considering building a dome in Prior Lake, but “nothing has been publicly announced.”

Councilwoman Jane Victorey said she was worried

Burnsville Athletic Club (BAC), Prior Lake Athletics for Youth (P.L.A.Y.) and Prior Lake Soccer Club originally

approached the City about bui ldi ng a n i ndoor spor ts dome last fall.

After discussion and review, initial recommendations have been for an 80,000-square-foot dome and a 5,000-square-foot attached building with restrooms.

With an estimated project cost of just over $ 5 million, the city would need to sell Economic Development Authority (EDA) lease revenue bonds to fund the project. An asset management company would run the facility and schedule all users.

“This is a little different than building a community center or ice arena,” said Willia ms. “I f, at 15 yea rs, we decide we don’t want to do it anymore, we end up with turf without a roof. Take that away and you’re done.”

campaign has been the agency’s primary fundraising mechanism for the past several years.

This year, the CAP Agency is looking to gain momentum by taking the campaign online through GiveMN.org, which is a fundraising tool where donors are encouraged to “click, contribute, and change your world.”

The Scott Carver Dakota CAP Agency is encouraging people to go online to make a donation. Those who prefer to not donate online can send

checks to: CAP Agency, 712 Canterbury Road S., Shakopee, MN 55379.

“We are very excited about this year’s Give Where You Live Campaign,” said Rebecca Bowers, vice president of Fund Development. “We have seen a dramatic increase in need this past year and it is necessary to grow our fundraising to accommodate for this rising need.”

Stock said that the city had talked earlier in the year about revising the policy, but chose to review it earlier in response to Pothini’s request.

Since the city began charging the $75 fee Jan. 1, 2011, use of the room has declined.

“Beyond that, I’m telling you that administering the meeting room policy is a nightmare,” said Stock. “Any story you could dream up, we’ve heard.”

Stock said that the carpet in the Marion/Marietta Room already needs to be replaced – to the tune of $15,000 – and the city doesn’t have money

set aside in the general fund to cover that expense. The collection of the fee was intended to provide a funding source to offset the costs of repairs and maintenance to the room.

City Clerk Ellen Classen said that the scheduling, fee collection and issues of damage from users takes considerable staff time. And, many groups bring in food, which results in spilled coffee and cake ground into the carpet.

“I can tell you that the $75 fee doesn’t come close to covering the administrative fees,” said Stock.

The City Council agreed

“someone else would build something state-of-the-art in eight years,” and the city of Savage would no longer be able to rent out its dome.

“You just don’t know what your competition is going to be in eight years and you’ve got 15-year bonds,” said Victorey.

Mayor Janet Williams said that she believes people will choose to live in Savage if the city has the amenities residents want.

“We’re about providing a service, so is this something we want to provide in our community or not? That’s the bottom line,” said Williams.

Rink, warming house to close

1,144 skaters in the 2007-2008 season to 225 in the 2010-2011 season.

City staff originally recommended to the Parks and Recreation Commission that the hockey rink, pleasure rink and warming house be closed at Schroeder’s Acres for a savings of over $3,000 per year. By leaving the pleasure rink open, the savings are expected to be closer to $2,000 per year.

“It’s not like in the old days where the kids gathered at the rinks at night,” said Mayor Janet Williams.

“This is the new norm,” said City Administrator Barry Stock.

The city of Savage’s other five skating facilities can be found at Warren Butler Park, Canterbury Park, Trost Park, O’Connell Park and Woodhill Park.

The hockey rink and warming house at Schroeder’s Acres in the northwest corner of the city near Highway 101 and Boone Avenue will be closed this year; however, the pleasure skating rink will remain open.

“That rink is easy to blow off and the lights are on timers,” said Public Works Director John Powell. “We prefer not to think of this as downsizing our service, but right-sizing our service based on the users out there.”

Last spring, the city rev iewe d t he m a i nt en a nc e and operation costs at its six ice skating facilities, and found that the skater count at Sch roeder’s Acres had declined considerably from

that it is important to offer the meeting room space as a service to residents; however, determining which groups qualifi ed for free use of the room and which groups should be charged became too subjective and caused complications.

In the end, the City Council determined that a flat fee of $25 would be charged to all user groups for a four-hour block of time, except in the case of city-sponsored events.

LETTERS FROM READERS SPIRITUALITY

Evidence of God is basic cause and effect It is sad that in this nation there are still some unbelievers in God. Yet the evidence for God is so clear that the psalmist said, “The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God” (Psalm 14:1).

The very essence of the scientific method in common with all human experience involves the basic principle of cause and effect, which says that no effect can be greater than its cause.

From nothing comes nothing. The universe did not come from nothing but from God. There must therefore be a first cause of all things, which has at the very least all the characteristics that are seen in the universe, which has been produced by it.

Thus, the first cause must have intelligence, because there are intelligent beings in the universe, and the universe itself is intelligible, capable of being studied and described intelligently. It is an “effect” which must have an adequate “cause,” and such a cause must therefore have intelligence in such a high degree as to practically be “omniscient” (all knowing).

Similarly, the first cause must have emotional attributes, since such things as emotions exist in the world.

The highest and most noble emotion, most men would agree, is that of love.

Thus, the cause of love is one who possesses love in a very high degree.

Furthermore, the attribute of the “will” or volition is very prominent among men and, since it did not produce itself, the great first cause must also possess a sovereign will.

Then there are tremendous reservoirs of power and energy in the universe, spread over innumerable suns and inconceivable distances, and the first cause of such vast sources of power must in itself have even more power and therefore be, as far as we can judge, omnipotent (all powerful).

Since space and time are also real “effects” and since our scientific studies have been unable to place limits on either space or time, their original cause surely must be both omnipresent and eternal as well.

The cause is a great person, and is exactly such a person as revealed in the Bible, the one who created and upholds all things and to whom every man must account for his actions in the last days. The bible will tell you how sin entered the world.

Evolution is not really a science but

a religious philosophy. It may be the religion of many scientists, although it is not because of the actual data of their science but because of their intellectual and moral preference for this kind of faith. The faith of biblical Christianity is diametrically opposite to that of evolution, but is fully supported by science and the real facts of life. Evolution has no scientific evidence.

How should we live? The Bible has the answer, read it and follow its teachings. Read the last chapter of Revelation and though there is turmoil we will win in the end. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. It’s the only way to live.

NEWSPAPER

Absence of diversity in Spiritual Reflections Every Sunday morning, I take great joy in waking up, brewing a bold cup of coffee and opening the pages of the

Savage Pacer to find out what is going on in my community.

Many of the articles are eminently interesting, and I especially enjoy when a local politician writes in and explains his or her position on certain issues. However, there is one column which, every week, has a curious absence of diversity, and in fact, which openly and flagrantly pushes only one point of view on the unsuspecting reader. The column in question is entitled, “Spiritual Reflections,” and is almost always (if not always) authored by a local Christian figure.

Notice that the title of the column is not, “Christian Spiritual Reflections,” but instead as the more encompassing, and less dogmatic, “Spiritual Reflections.”

According to many recent polls (Gallup and ARIS) 15 percent of Americans say they have no religious affiliation, and close to 10 percent would describe themselves as atheist or agnostic. Yet these points of view are never represented in the “Spiritual Reflections” column, and never given serious consideration by any of the contributing writers.

The word “spiritual” (despite what some may think) does not necessarily imply the belief in the supernatural or in a spirit or soul. It simply refers

to a certain human experience which can be felt equally by believers and nonbelievers alike.

Many atheists, like myself, would say that nature, music, poetry and advancements in knowledge contribute to a sensation that could be described as spiritual.

By only printing and promoting writers for this column who believe in the existence of a supernatural deity really serves only to distort the term “spiritual” until it has become a complete perversion. There is no necessary link between having spiritual experiences and being religious. In fact, one can exist without the other.

By constantly tying the two together, as evidenced by the narrow scope of the contributing writers, the Savage Pacer is pushing a message to its readers which can be found patently false with only the most fleeting analysis.

I encourage the Pacer to provide a more comprehensive and well-rounded view of this very important topic, one which is more closely aligned with the true meaning of the term “spiritual,” and does not only serve as a conduit to push supernatural religious beliefs.

Lessons learned from the World Series

Pledge support for small businesses, attend WinterFest event Dec. 1

I am a baseball fan. I grew up in St. Louis, Mo., a city that lives and breathes for its baseball team, the St. Louis Cardinals. My first memory of the Redbirds was in 1964 when they beat the Yankees to win the World Series. I was in third grade and my sisters raved about players named Stan Musial and Ken Boyer.

I got a transistor radio when I was 9 or 10. I thought it was so cool to be able to listen to Jack Buck and Harry Caray announcing the Cardinal games. If we couldn’t listen to the games, we anxiously waited for the morning paper during the summer to check the score.

We watched the ’67 and ’68 World Series’ from our classrooms since the nuns seemed to be as crazy about baseball as the rest of us. In 1982, I attended all four of the World Series home games, as well as playoff games in ’85 and ’87. In 2006, we all watched the Cardinals win the World Series in my living room after my youngest had totaled her car at the intersection of what is now the “roundabout” in Savage. She was banged up and traumatized, but luckily was home with her mama.

T h i s s e a s on t he C a r d i n a l s squeaked into the playoffs on the last day of the season. I was thrilled, but really did not expect much to happen. Even though the team had solidified in the month of September, it was only because of the massive nosedive of the Atlanta Braves that the Cards were able to clinch the wild card slot.

Then, suddenly, Chris Carpenter pitched a gem of a fifth game to eliminate the Philadelphia Phillies. The Milwaukee Brewers were outslugged and out-pitched by our fellas. And next thing we knew, we were in the World Series!

It was a battle, as I knew it would be. The Cardinals were losing three games to two and were on the brink of elimination. W hen game six started, I resigned myself to the fact that the season had been great, but I would expect nothing.

Then something amazing happened! The team was one strike away from losing the entire series and a local boy named David Freese hit a triple to tie the game. The next inning, same scenario, Lance Berkman hit a bases-loaded single. The next inning, the 11th, Boom! Freese hit a homerun to dead center and the Cardinals were alive! I knew that af-

ter such an amazing comeback, there was no way for the Texas Rangers to recover. The Cardinals clinched their 11th World Series title on Oct. 28, 2011.

There are three messages that came out of this competition. The first: Dream Big! David Freese grew up in the St. Louis area, watching his favorite team and wondering what it would be like to wear that jersey. He not only started at third base for his team, but also was voted the World Series’ Most Valuable Player.

The second message: Never Quit!

The Cardinals as a team could have easily fallen apart in any of the games, but every time they managed to play another day. This is a great illustration of how working together can cause wonderful things to happen.

The third message: Enjoy the Moment! The players that were interviewed after the seventh game stressed what a special time it was for them and that it may not happen again. They were “taking it all in.”

What a great way to live.

I realize that this is an American League town, and many Minnesotans did not root for the Cardinals. However, all of my friends became temporary Redbird fans and got caught up in the excitement. I thank them for putting up with my anxiety, my tired mornings, and my hysterical phone calls, particularly my boyfriend, Kevin. He was on the phone with me throughout the top of the ninth inning of the seventh game. I believe I may have perforated his eardrum when Alan Craig caught the fly ball for the third and final out!

The second annual Small Business Saturday is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses on one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year.

On Nov. 26, we’re asking the community to Shop Local at their favorite local stores, or with businesses or business people that provide services to the local community and help fuel the economy.

For small businesses, this is a chance to combat the overwhelming onslaught of attention that bigger stores receive around this time of year. It’s important to support the local businesses because a good percentage of that money stays in the community.

The mission of the Savage Chamber of Commerce is to aggressively promote the interests of its business, professional and community members, please help us accomplish our mission while helping the entire community by shopping local!

kick off the holiday season will be even bigger, better and BRIGHTER … with the addition of a fireworks display! The fifth annual WinterFest will take place on Thursday, Dec. 1 in downtown Savage from 5 to 8 p.m.

Fun and excitement will be felt all along 123rd Street from Natchez to Princeton. Local choirs will be singing while anticipating the arrival of Santa Claus to help “magically” light the Community Tree at 6:15pm.

Community residents, young and old, will enjoy the many “free” festivities that WinterFest 2011 has

to offer, including horse-drawn carriage rides, S’mores made over an open fire, live music, and crafts and activities for the children. New this year are live reindeer, carolers, holiday dancers and a scavenger hunt around the downtown area.

Many businesses along 123rd Street will open their doors to other local businesses to set up booths to showcase and sell items. There will be holiday shopping, food for purchase from several local restaurants, and lots of fun events inside and outside.

The second annual “WinterDazzle Parade” will take place at approximately 6:30 p.m., following the tree lighting and will take place right on 123rd Street. The “WinterDazzle Parade” is free to participate in and open to all businesses, groups, organizations, families or individual community members.

STUDENT VIEWS

Be the ‘bigger person’ by confronting drama Drama affects all teenagers.

Literally, there is no escape from it, especially for girls. Even when someone chooses not to get involved, if a problem involves friends, how could you not become involved?

Drama grows out of small issues between people. These problems only turn into larger challenges when others are pulled in to the mix. It is completely natural for a teenager to turn to a friend for support during a conflict with another person. However, often times instead of confronting the source of the conflict, the issue is mentioned to another person and the information spreads like wildfire. The transformation from a small disagreement to significant drama happens through this slight exchange of words.

This round-about way of dealing with drama comes from many teenagers’ need to tell the world about everything that happens, which often leads to the stressful drama they encounter. With Facebook and Twitter, people can post their feelings instantly. With one small click of a mouse, their problems are displayed universally and people begin to talk.

PRESLICKA STUDENT VIEWS

Among my friends, I’m known as the peacemaker. My friends know how I try to avoid becoming involved in other people’s problems.

When my friends talk to me about another person, I listen intently, take it in, give them advice and then forget whatever it is they’ve said. This allows me to not only keep the information private so it doesn’t spread, but also to realize that I can’t hold anything someone says against them.

In the heat of the moment, many people become extremely verbal. They may not mean half the things they tell me. I don’t want my own image of someone to be

manipulated by another person’s views. They may be blowing the whole situation out of proportion.

The greatest thing that many teenagers fail to realize is how insignificant these small things are in the grand scheme of life.

Who you had a fight with or who gossiped about you to your best friend will not matter in five years, one year, probably not even one week later.

Teenagers need to save themselves the stress of becoming wrapped up in drama. They need to confront problems face to face, which for some, involves facing a great fear. It actually saves time and stress by confronting the issue directly, instead of behind another person’s back.

I recently talked to a friend about being the “bigger person” and confronting someone about their drama first. Although it might be hard to apologize first, I believe this small effort is worth it to save a friendship, or at least to calm down the already stressful life of a typical teenager.

too, as we sail up through the inside passages toward our next destination.

Again in the pouring rain, we anchor for the night in a wonderful cove. Tomorrow we will hit the land and start our search for the elusive spirit bear.

Meanwhile, we change our clothes and head to a natural hot spring for a bit of a soaking. We haven’t showered in four days so the hot bath is welcomed. We soak in the hot water for about half-an-hour with the rain coming down, then go to bed with high hopes for the morning.

Before day break, we are up, eating breakfast, and packing our gear and food for the day. It is still raining. Our destination is a small island about 10-miles-by-15-miles in size and it looks more like a mountain rising out of the ocean.

By the time we reach shore in our small boat, we are already soaked. Climbing from the landing craft, we step onto very slippery rocks each about 2 feet in diameter. We climb up the rocks while hauling our gear and gather at the top just

PET OF THE WEEK So, the kids have been begging for a dog and you want one house trained and well mannered; enter … Maxwell. This 4-year-old is wonderful with preschoolers, is passive with dogs, but hasn’t met cats.

Maxwell likes to sleep on your bed, be by you when you sit and follow you everywhere. He gets excited about going for car rides and does fine on a leash. This laid-back, 28-pound, very friendly puggle would like a home with you.

The above abandoned pet is being housed by the Carver-Scott Humane Society and is available for Maxwell 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.

A spirit bear snags a meal along a river in British Columbia. inside the woods.

Next we walk for a half mile on what is supposed to be a foot trail, but is actually a shallow running stream due to all the rain. We make it to a small stretch of the river. Here is where we are most likely to see what we have come all this way to photograph.

The stream is shallow, only 30 or so feet wide. The good news is there are salmon in every pocket of the swiftmoving water and the bears come from the surrounding area to catch fish.

For the next two days this will be our home. We will return to the boat to sleep, but the rest of the time will be spent with the bears. We set up gear and I try to keep my $25,000 worth of camera gear dry.

We wait a half-hour or so before we spot one of the spirit bears making its way down the river. We set up to get ready.

Within a few minutes, the bear is right in front of me and I capture images of one of the most uncommon animals in North America.

Spirit bears, which are sometimes called ghost bears, are genetically identical to black bears but their parents had a recessive gene that kept them from producing the black melanin that is normally present in their fur. The bears that live on these islands have been isolated long enough that abnormalities like this show up. Only one in 10 baby bears born in the region are white.

The spirit bears live long and productive lives, unlike albino bears, which are sometimes mistaken for spirit bears.

After two days I manage to capture some of the most incredible fishing behaviors of the spirit bears and also the traditional black bear. Overall, this has been an amazing adventure and we still have about three more days of traveling before we get back to civilization. Until next time …

I’ve been sitting in the rain for several days and, frankly, it’s getting a bit frustrating.

I guess that is why the coast of British Columbia, Canada, is called a rain forest. Technically, it’s called a temperate rainforest but rainforest nonetheless.

Taking shelter in a small cove, we anchor the 71-foot sail boat we are traveling on and living aboard. As we have many times before, we jump in the zodiac, a small power boat, and head up a river in search of grizzly bears. As luck would have it, we find a female with a yearling cub sleeping on the bank. We are very quiet and slip up to wait for them to wake.

It isn’t long before the female jumps to her feet, looking into the woods behind her.

Obviously she hears something or smells something. We don’t see anything. The cub joins her, standing and looking.

The bears turn toward us and start walking down to the riverside. Standing side by side, the mother and cub lower their heads to take a sip of water, which allows me to capture some good images. We spend the next couple of hours in the pouring rain with these bears and enjoy a number of wonderful photographic opportunities.

I am currently working on a book about bears and that is the reason I am in this remote part of North America.

Back at the sail boat, we pull anchor and head out. The rain is still coming down and the weather forecast warns of gale-force winds and more rain. Lucky me. It rains the rest of the day and all night,

SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS

In the Common Lectionary for last week, these were the somewhat tired sounding words of the psalmist, contained in psalm 123: “To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!

As the eyes of the servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until God has mercy upon us.

Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.

Our soul has had more than its fill of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.”

As I read them, I can feel these words inside of me, and I find myself having grown weary of the battles I witness and participate in daily. The political battles, the religious battles, the battles drawn upon economic lines. And I think this may be true of not only me, but for many of the people I meet, who have informed me in so many times and places that their feeling and their fears of contempt have kept them from really connecting, and perhaps forming lifeenhancing relationships with people they don’t know.

We all know the truth, that the last things that we are willing to speak of in certain circles, and maybe even in our own families, are politics and

Richard

NICHOLS SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS

religion. This is true because we are aware of the spoils of which go only to those who can claim to have bested and, in doing so, belittled their opponent. Maybe we have even taken part in conversations that rapidly become battles.

Of course, the central problem in these conflicts is that we have lost respect for the others, those misinformed ones who cannot see the inherent wisdom and rightness of our viewpoints.

Wouldn’t life be easier if we just agreed? Or more specifically, if you agreed with me?

As the psalmist said, “Our soul has had more than its fill … of the contempt of the proud.” Ultimately, the battles wear on us and even affect our spirits, which is why I am grateful for the coming of Thanksgiving. It remains my favorite holiday, even if the merchants continue to

erode its observance, because it is a call to humility. It is an opportunity to say “thank you,” either to anyone’s understanding of God, or to the earth for its gifts to us, or whomever it is one thinks may have supplied the gifts and resources of life. It’s a time to say a sincere prayer for that which has gotten us here to this point, and perhaps, as the psalmist says, to ask for “mercy” in our lives, mercy for all the contempt and disrespect in which we have (sometimes too willingly) participated.

Thanksgiving calls us to look up, or at the very least to look out of ourselves, and realize for one humble moment that we did not get ourselves here, but have received the gifts of all who have gone before us, and are recipients of a bounty unimagined by too many people of this world, even some who live near us. For this we should be more than thankful, we could even be rested, refreshed and energized to work toward a less selfish and more respectful world.

M.W. Savage Elementary students packed the gym on Friday, Nov. 11 to give thanks to local veterans during the school’s Veterans Day celebration. Marine Corps League members presented the colors, and music teacher Margaret Hinton sang America the Beautiful and God Bless America. After Marine Corps League-Two Eagles Detachment Commandant Pete Williams gave a Veterans Day address, students gave out yellow ribbons that read “Thank You for Serving” to the veterans in attendance. The program ended with an original poem for the veterans written and performed by sixth-grader Gabbi Day thanking them for their service.

“We’re learning a lot and it’s going really fast,” Bonèy said.

“It forces you to be more assertive because you have to go out and fi nd the story.”

“We’ve basically turned it into an advanced class,” said Krebs.

T he students each get a chance to experiment in each position, from floor director to anchor, so everyone’s experience is maximized.

“We will never force someone to do something they’re not interested in doing,” Krebs said.

With another broadcast behind them, the students are now focused on the future, be it next week’s show or the possibility of taking Krebs’ class next semester if it’s offered – something Bonèy and Fischer are both interested in. “ It ’s c o ol k now i n g t h at you’re part of something new at Burnsville,” said Fischer.

This Thanksgiving, display an attitude of gratitude fi nished college by age 18 but saw nothing spectacular about that. She was simply doing what she could at the time.

The best thing about Mom: She really understood the power of kindness. “Sometimes forgiveness of self is the best bridge to happiness,” she said recently when I told her about something I have always regretted.

She chose words carefully, to heal and inspire. Thanks, Mom.

H

opefully there is a time on Thanksgiving Day – between putting the turkey in the oven and planning our Black Friday assault on retailers – that we are actually giving thanks.

Perhaps it’s saying thank-you for the recent harvest, as our early American settlers did, but in the more suburbanized areas of the southwest metro area it is more likely about offering our thanks for good health, for family ties, for supportive spouses, or God’s many blessings.

Whatever we are thankful for, it’s the expression of gratitude – that “attitude of gratitude,” you might say – that’s important.

So important is the act that authors have credited gratitude for being one of the secrets to a person’s well-being.

This Thanksgiving, give thanks often … and if not often, at least well. Just as the southwest-area readers on this page have done.

Thankful for a great city I am thankful for the opportunity to live in Prior Lake.

I am thankful to all of the city employees, mayor, City Counciland organizations that make Prior Lake a great place to live.

Prior Lake has a lot more to offer in parks, lakes, trails, scenery, facilities and quality of life.

A Thanksgiving anniversary This Thanksgiving will be very special to me in many ways.

The good Lord has blessed my wife, Merry, and I and guided us through some difficult times.

We were blessed with our fi rst grandson, and even though we are unable to visit very often (they live in Maryland) we are able to watch him grow, and keep in touch with the help of today’s technology.

We have su f fered t h rough tough economic times, with unemployment, and under employment, but that is turning around.

I have started a small business and have seen it grow over the last year, and Merry has again found full-time work.

I will be undergoing some minor surgery the week of Thanksgiving, and Merry will be by my side to help me through my recovery.

Pull over for pulled pork Look the other way and you might miss a must-try sandwich

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

T

he menu of Mr. Pig Stuff in Shakopee could come with a warning for those ordering takeout: Caution, delicious smell may cause distraction from driving or operating heavy machinery.

Once you get the food from the car to the table, the meat makes it worth the wait.

Yes, you can order sides. No, you don’t go to this barbeque spot on County Road 69 in Shakopee to order salad, unless you mean a side of potato salad.

Well, who do you think you are?

You like meat. At Mr. Pig Stuff – the name is a play off the song – it’s all about the meat.

The restaurant specializes in pulled pork, brisket and ribs. A favorite is the applewood-smoked pulled pork sandwich.

What started as a pig-roasting pastime for the McCormick family turned into a catering and restaurant business.

Three siblings run the place – Chris, Staci and Nate McCormick.

The catering came first.

“That’s how we started, is hog roasting,” said Chris, the oldest

of the three. “That got big. We were booked up every week in the summer.”

Eventually they were using a church kitchen to keep up with demand. “People started asking us to do sides, and all the stuff besides hog roasting,” Nate said.

They decided to bite on a newspaper ad for the building that once housed a Taco Loco and Dairy Queen.

The restaurant across from Rahr Malting Co. opened in May 2010. The catering continues.

“We still do a lot of hog roasting every weekend,” Staci said.

So far, they haven’t done any advertising for the restaurant, but over the summer their window saw lines of more than 15 deep during lunch. People heard about the place word of mouth. Some stop over from Rahr Malting, or sometimes semi-truck drivers pull over before heading out to the highway.

“Really diverse group of people that comes down. Blue collar, white collar, police,” Chris said.

Mr. Pig Stuff will remain open this winter but with reduced hours.

“A lot of people call ahead and pick it up,” Staci said.

Most of the business at the restaurant is takeout this time

While the sides are good, it’s all about the meat at Mr. Pig Stuff.

Owner Chris McCormick said they get a lot of repeat customers from those who try the pulled pork sandwich. It’s also one of his favorites.

“I like the pork. I do,” McCormick said. of year because there’s no indoor seating. People can eat outdoors during summertime on picnic tables.

The McCormicks are hoping to move again to a location with indoor seating and also possibly to get out before road construction starts on that stretch in 2012-2013.

“We’ve been looking for a bigger spot,” Chris said.

But he also said the current place has character.

“It’s always been a spot that’s been about good food in a unique

little location,” Chris said.

It does seem to have its fans.

If you’re planning on nominating Mr. Pig Stuff to be featured on a show like Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,” someone has already beat you to the punch.

Chris said customers have sent in recommendations for such shows.

But the McCormicks are hoping to be in a bigger building before gaining national exposure.

“It’s hard to keep up as it is,” Chris said.

I called the liquor store 28 times just to ask if you were there. I hung up when the clerk recognized my voice. I don’t care. I just want to know that you’re still there. I want to know that I can still get to you. I still have the old bottle that you were in when I first found you. You didn’t know I kept it did you? It still smells like you. Sometimes I pull it out and smell it when I’m listening to Air Supply.

That’s our band, you know. Air Supply.

Have you seen me slowly driving past the liquor store?

Eleven times yesterday. I do it to see you in the window. That’s not weird is it? Think of it this way: I’m only looking out for you. I’ll always be there for you.

You took some good pictures for your website. I printed some of them and taped them to my bedroom wall. And ceiling. And mirror. Some of them really show off your beautiful label.

I think about your label a lot when I’m at work. I think about your dark cherry and anise flavors, too. I try not to think about them when I’m at church, though. Nothing good can come of that. And don’t go sharing your voluptuous mouth-feel and your exotic liqueur flavors with someone else. I don’t know what I would do. Do you understand?

I just don’t know what I would do.

Another customer almost bought a bottle of you. I talked him out of it. Then I bought the bottle myself. See? I told you I would always be there for you.

I told you I was looking out for you. That’s why I’ve also written a 13,000-word manifesto explaining how perfect our love can be on the side of the box I brought you home in on that first perfect day. I really love getting close to you like this. Enough talk.

It’s time to put on some Air Supply and pull out your old bottle again.

This week’s recommendation: Bogle, Petite Sirah Port ($19.99): I know. Creepy.

But it’s pretty much the way I feel when I become infatuated with a wine that so captures my full attention.

Bogle Petite Sirah Port is one of those wines.

It makes me want to build a little cozy room in my basement, buy a case of it, and lock us both inside so we can be happy all by ourselves.

Forever.

NOV. 19 ‘FOOTLOOSE’ When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren isn’t prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, many of the locals are eager to believe the worst about the new kid.

OURSCHOOLS BURNSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

Students hope to build new DECA program from ground up Approximately 50 students have already signed up for the team

BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

It’s been quite awhile since Burnsville High School had it s ow n DECA te a m. How long exactly? So long that the group’s adviser, second-year business teacher Meggan Malone, couldn’t even nail down the date.

“I’ve been trying to figure that out,” said Malone, “but no one seems to know. One woman who’s been here for 18 years said she didn’t think DECA has been here [in her time at the school].”

DECA is an international organization that teaches business and leadership skills to students and focuses on marketing, management and entrepreneurship. It mostly has chapters in high schools and colleges, and

students meet for competitions at the local, state and national levels.

Last year, Malone was speaking to students in her sports marketing class about business organizations that students can get involved in, and the subject of DECA came up. The students showed a significant interest and asked Malone why they couldn’t have their own DECA squad.

Only a first-year teacher, Malone already had her hands full trying to figure out a new curriculum and school. But the students, already showing a gift for sales, talked her into it. “The students were so excited, there was no way I could walk away from it,” she said.

So after meeting with some students during the summer to gauge interest, Malone said she only expected 10 or 20 students to sign up for the club this year.

So far, they’ve gotten around 50 students to sign up.

STUDENT EXCITEMENT Students at Burnsville High

School have various reasons for joining the DECA team.

“I come from a dad and grandfather who are in sales and business, and I kind of wanted to follow in their footsteps and learn more about it,” said BHS senior and Savage resident Megan Pofahl, who learned about the club in Malone’s sports marketing class. “It just seemed like an awesome opportunity.”

Senior and Burnsville resident Seth Tufte agreed. “A lot of people say DECA is one of the best things you can do to prepare yourself for the business world, and that really drew me in. Just hearing about all the experience you can get from it, it sounded pretty cool,” he said.

Tufte said he’s already seeing the benefits of being part of DECA. “I’ve been applying for a few jobs lately, and when I show them my resume, they say ‘Oh, you’re in DECA, I was in DECA in high school,’” he said. “So I think it’s a really good way to connect with people and open

doors.”

Another reason the students are so excited is the opportunity they have to build the group into something of their own, and to possibly even leave behind a legacy for future classes.

“Just to know that I helped start something at my high school and was a part of it, I can look back 30 years from now and say ‘I helped create that.’ It’s pretty cool,” said Pofahl.

COMPETITIONS The club meets each Friday before school, and while the kids are excited, they are also still trying to figure out how exactly DECA works, especially the competitions. “I’m excited, but I’m still a little nervous,” said Pofahl, “because I still don’t exactly know what’s in store for me.”

Malone said competitions consist of students applying their skills in business situations, such as performing in an interview as a prospective employee, presenting a marketing

The students planned last week for their fi rst official competition Nov. 19, a sub-district competition at Lakeville North.

Malone said the group is still in its early stages as they try to define themselves, figure out what role everybody should play

and even piece together a group constitution. But so far, she said, it’s been a great start.

“Every F riday morning, every desk in here is filled,” Malone said of her classroom during the group’s meetings.

“Forty or more students in here, eager to learn about business.

It’s been pretty awesome.”

Survey shows improved perception of District 191

a fiscally-responsible manner.

The final levy renewal vote total of 4,280 “yes” votes to 2,046 “no” votes reflected the support shown in a

community survey conducted during the summer. The survey of 400 homes showed that 84 percent of residents supported or strongly supported the levy renewal.

In addition, residents gave the district high marks for performance in the survey, with 78 percent of respondents agreeing that the community receives a good value from its investment in District 191 schools. Residents perceive that the district is spending its funds effectively, efficiently and responsibly.

The majority of respondents (63 percent) said that the state legislature

does not provide adequate funding and 40 percent said the financial outlook is likely to worsen as the state faces its budget deficit.

This was the first community survey we’ve done in four years and our ratings increased in many areas.

Residents who rated the quality of the education provided by the district as “excellent” or “good” increased from 68 percent in 2007 to 81percent this year.

Performance ratings for the Board of Education, district’s administration, principals and teachers have

all increased since the last survey.

Another trend is that those polled know more about the district in general. Back in 2007, there were significant numbers of respondents that didn’t know enough about the district to answer survey questions.

Planning for the next two budget years has begun in earnest and will include a process for gathering feedback and ideas from community residents and employees.

Our Board of Education will continue to be fiscally transparent and responsible

Going back to back PL defends section title, gets seven to state meet

Prior Lake junior Elijah Patrick tries to track down the quarterback in the Lakers’ 21-17 loss to Totino-Grace in the Class 5A state quarterfinals Nov. 11 in the Metrodome.

Title run ends PL falls 21-17 in the state quarterfinals

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

The Prior Lake football team traded body blows with perennial power Totino Grace in the Class 5A state quarterfi nals Nov. 11.

But in the decisive fourth quarter, the Eagles made the bigger plays.

Totino-Grace scored two quick touchdowns and had a huge 61-yard punt in final the 1:15 to end the Lakers’ dream season with a 21-17 win in the Metrodome.

The Eagles (11-1) moved on to the semifi nals Nov. 18 where they faced another perennial power, Eden Prairie (10-1). The Lakers ended up 8-4 in their fi rst-ever state appearance.

“We knew we’d come here and play very well,” said Prior Lake coach Matt Gegenheimer. “It’s tough to end that way. They made plays when they had to. We didn’t.”

The Eagles, winners of six of the last eight Class 4A state titles before opting to the largest class this season, stole the Lakers’ moment u m e a rly i n t he fourth quarter. Prior Lake junior Jack Johnson powered his way into the end zone from two yards for a 14-7 lead with 3:32 left in the third quarter.

But the Eagles responded with a pair of scores through the air in a 2:12 span. The fi rst score was a 5-yard fade route on third down to tie the game and the second one was a perfectly thrown 34-yarder to the corner of the end zone to take the lead.

But the Lakers didn’t go away. They drove down the field inside the Eagles’ 10yard line. Faced with fourthand-goal from the 2-yard line, the Lakers opted for a 19-yard field goal from senior Kirk Lair.

That cut the margin to 2117 with 4:54 to play.

G egen hei mer said t he decision to kick the field goal rather than go for the tying score was made as the Lakers were marching down the field. If there was enough time left on the clock, Prior Lake was going to take the points.

The Lakers also had two timeouts left.

State to page 15 ®

The Prior Lake girls swimming team easily defended its Section 2AA title Nov. 11, setting new school records in all three relays, while winning two of them.

The Lakers will also have seven swimmers represent them at the Class AA state meet, which started Friday and ends today (Saturday, Nov. 19) at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.

Prior Lake scored 446 points to win the section crown, well ahead of runner-up Lakeville North (386.5). Lakeville South was third (335.5), followed by Eastview (2 8 0), Burnsville (243), Apple Valley (163), Blooming ton Jef ferson (12 5) and Bloomington Kennedy (102).

Now, the not-so good news from sections: A combined 2.95 seconds separated Prior Lake from qualifying individuals in another six events. So don’t blame the Lakers if they were not feeling 100 percent satisfied as they left the Hidden Oaks Middle School pool.

Sophomore Monica Banasikowski had the Lakers’ lone individual section title. She won the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 24.37 seconds.

She was also on all three of the Lakers’ state-bound relays.

She anchored the 200 medley team to a first-place time of 1:47.93. Juniors Elizabeth Hartell (backstroke) and Alex Yaeger (butterfly) and sophomore Taylor Dessler (breaststroke) were also part of the relay.

Banasikowski, sophomores Elizabeth Cunningham and Kendra Lair and eighth-grader Lauren Harris made up the winning 200 freestyle relay team (1:38.56).

The second-place 400 frees t yle t e a m i nc lude d B a n asikowski, Yaeger, Cunningham and Lair (3:36.73), earning a berth by state standard. They easily eclipsed the cut time (3:41.03).

Yaeger was also runner-up in both of her individual events – the 100 butterfly (57.55) and the 500 freestyle (5:10.59). Hartell ended up second in the 100 backstroke (59.85).

The top relay and top two individuals automatically earn state bids.

Cunningham beat the state cut (1:57.02) in the 200 freestyle taking third (1:56.35). Harris earned a state spot in the 100

backstroke (1:00.37), tying for fourth and beating the state cut by 53 one-hundredths of a second.

The close calls for the Lakers started in the second event, the 200 freestyle. Lair fi nished fourth with a time of 1:57.29, which was 27 one-hundredths of a second from the state cut.

In the 100 freestyle, Lair missed the state cut by an even slimmer margin, four onehundredths of second. She took third with a time of 53.86.

Cunningham ended up third in the 50 0 freestyle with a time of 5:13.96, which was 75 one-hundredths from the cut.

Dessler was fourth in the 100 breaststroke (1:09.55), .47 seconds off the cut.

In the 50 freestyle, Hartell ended up sixth with a time of 25.17, less than a second off the cut (24.72). In the 100 butterfly, Harris took seventh (1:00.58), which was also less than a second from the cut (59.97).

In diving (held Nov. 10), senior Syd ney Noter ma n n earned her fourth straight top10 fi nish, but she fell short of state again (top four advance).

Last year, she was less than one point (.85) from fourth place.

T his year, she ended up sixth with an 11-dive score of 280.50. She was 5.30 points shy of fourth.

Out of the Lakers’ 32 individual swims in the prelims Nov. 9, the Lakers had 30 make it back to the finals (top 16).

The Lakers had 16 swims in the fi nal heat (top eight).

Senior Melanie O’Neil fi nished fifth in the 100 breaststroke (1:10.51). Dessler was seventh in the 100 freestyle (56.14), while junior Natasha Lemke was seventh in the 500 freestyle (5:35.89) and junior Sarah Heskin tied for seventh in the 100 backstroke (1:02.74).

Other fi nishes for the Lakers went to : senior Taylor Kitzke in the 2 0 0 freestyle (11t h, 2 : 0 4 . 9 7) a nd t he 10 0 breaststroke (15th, 1:14.60), ninth-grader Grace Halpenny in the 200 individual medley (9th, 2:19.69) and the 100 butterf ly (14th, 1:04.84), sopho-

GIRLS HOCKEY

Slow start to the skate season Blaze falls on road to No. 1 Skippers, 5-0

Lakers’ new era starts with 5-0 loss

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

The Burnsville girls hockey team had a tough task in its season opener Nov. 15.

The Blaze took on top-ranked Minnetonka, the defending Class 2A state champion, on the road, playing without senior captain Jennifer Maloney.

The end result: a 5-0 loss to the Skippers.

Maloney was on the bench for the opener, but was in street clothes. She was the Blaze’s second leading scorer last year with 16 goals and 18 assists.

M i n neton k a score d t wo goals in the fi rst two periods and led 4-0 going into the fi nal frame. The Skippers outshot the Blaze 38-11 for the game.

Burnsville coach Bruce Anderson always seems to get his team ready come playoff time, so early season losses are not something he dwells on.

“We want to be playing our best hockey at the end of the season,” said Anderson. “We don’t get too concerned with wins and losses early in the season.

We are more concerned with getting better every game.”

The Prior Lake girls hockey team got off to a slow start in its season opener Nov. 15 under new coach Todd Johnson.

Thanks to the stellar play of sophomore goalie Lexi Brandt, the Lakers were down only 1-0 after two periods to Wayzata.

But the Trojans dominated the fi nal period en route to a 5-0 road victory.

Wayzata outshot out the Lakers 47-9. Brandt fi nished with 42 saves.

“It was exciting to finally get the ball rolling on the season,” said Johnson.

“We learned that our team does not quit, but t hat we have a little bit of work to do.

We will need to play with a bit more discipline and we will need to try to stay out of the penalty box.

“We were missing two players due to i nju r y – Clai re Clark, one of our captains and defenseman and Andrea Citrowske, one of our forwards,” added Johnson. “All in all, I was pleased with our teams’ effort.”

Burnsville junior Anna Elling won both the 200 individual medley and the 100 butterfly at the Section 2AA meet Nov. 11.

Riding the state wave Elling wins two section titles to lead Blaze at section meet

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

Sophomore Alexis Dobrzynski’s ankle proved more than st rong enough to help t he Burnsville girls swimming team get two relays to state.

Meanwhile, senior Teresa DiGregorio, junior Anna Elling and eighth-grader Angela Le have proved strong all season long for the Blaze.

DiGregorio, Elling and Le each qualified in two individual events in the Section 2AA fi nals Nov. 11 at Hidden Oaks Middle School and were part of the two state-bound relays with Dobrzynski.

Burnsville fi nished fi fth in the team standings with 243 points. Prior Lake defended its title with 446 points, followed

by Lakeville North (386.5), Lakeville South (335.5) and Eastview (280).

Apple Valley was sixth (163), followed by Bloomington Jefferson (125) and Bloomington Kennedy (102).

Elling won two individual section titles. She was tops in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2 minutes, 7.29 seconds and the 100 butterfly (57.53).

Le ended up third in both the 100 butterfly (57.94) and the 100 backstroke (59.97), easily beating the state qualifying times in both. The butterfly cut time was 59.97, while the backstroke cut was 1:00.90.

DiGregorio also beat state cuts in both her events. She was fourth in the 100 butterfly (58.15) and third in the 100 breaststroke (1:09.00). She made the breaststroke cut by eight one-hundredths of a second.

Meanwhile, Dobrzynski was competing in only her third meet since injuring her ankle back in early September. The concern for sections was if Dobrzynski’s ankle would be strong enough to push off the wall effectively.

She erased those concerns in the prelims Nov. 9 and again in the finals. She anchored the 200 medley relay to a second-place fi nish (1:49.97). The Blaze easily beat the state cut 1:52.77 and Dobrzynski’s 50 freestyle split was a solid 25.49.

Le swam the backstroke leg, followed by DiGregorio in the breaststroke and Elling in the butterfly.

In the 400 freestyle relay, Elling, DiGregorio, Le and Do-

Nathan Bergstrom of Savage, a sophomore at Prior Lake High School, was recently selected to the United States Youth Soccer Region II Boys Olympic Developmental Program Pool Team for his age group.

Regional and national coaches selected Bergstrom at a regional camp held in Overland Par, Kan. At this camp, the top 18 players from each of the 14 Midwestern State Soccer Associations competed for selection to the pool team.

Bergstrom is also part of the Minnesota Thunder Academy, coached by Jorge De Los Rios.

brzynski fi nished third with a time of 3:37.94, which was well ahead of the state cut (3:41.03).

Give Dobrzynski a lot of credit for keeping up with her training during a long regular season while her ankle healed so she’d be ready come section time. She was an individual state entrant in the 100 backstroke last year.

At sections, she competed in the consolation heat (top 16) in the 100 backstroke and ended up 15th with a time of 1:05.01.

She was 13th in the 50 freestyle (26.21). Her 100 split time in the 400 freestyle relay was a solid 55.90.

Burnsville’s Julia Kramer also had two swims in the fi nal heat in her last section meet.

She ended up eighth in the 100 breaststroke (1:11.54) and seventh in the 200 individual medley (2:20.74).

Burnsville’s 200 freestyle relay team of juniors Lyndsey Jacobson, Kelly Below, Savannah Walker and ninth-grader Sarah Jacobson ended up sixth (1:46.72).

Other finishes for the Blaze went to: eighth-grader Sidney Christopherson in the 200 freestyle (12th, 2:05.30) and the 500 freestyle (9th, 5:37.43), Below in the 200 individual medley (14th, 2:25.51) and Sarah Jacobson in the 200 freestyle (15th, 2:05.83).

Early deer harvest off slightly from 2010 High winds. Low harvest. That’s that story at the start of this year’s fi rearms deer hunting season, which opened Nov. 5.

Lou Cornicelli, wildlife research manager for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), said hunters registered approximately 73,000 deer after three full days of hunting. That compares with about 91,000 last year, or a 19 percent decline.

“When the wind is up deer activity greatly declines,” said Cornicelli, who noted deer move less and are less predictable when their hearing and scenting ability is adversely affected by strong winds. “The lower than expected harvest is linked to tough hunting conditions due to the high winds across much of the state on opening weekend.”

Cornicelli said other factors – hunter numbers, percentage of crop harvest and antlerless permit availability – are all similar to last year. The archery harvest, he said, is comparable to last year.

“High winds are the most plausible explanation,” said Cornicelli. “It’s likely that the harvest will bounce back a bit in the days ahead, but we won’t make up the 19 percent difference between now and the end of the season.”

Closing dates for the fi rearms season vary depending on the area. During the entire 2010 deer season, hunters harvested 207,000 deer.

“We felt good about getting a defensive stop and going down to get the win,” said Gegenheimer. “A caught punt would have helped. That hurt.

But we still had some chances in the end.”

After getting one first down, two Eagles’ penalties put them in a deep hole, including facing third-and-18. Totino-Grace took no chances and ran the ball.

And then came the punt, all 61 yards of it. The Lakers failed to make the fair catch and the ball bounced all the way to the Prior Lake 10-yard line.

The Lakers needed to go 90 yards in 1:15 with no timeouts for the win. Sophomore qua r terback Nick Rooney scrambled for 18 yards and a pass interference penalty put the ball near midfield.

Prior Lake took two shots down the sideline and nearly pulled one off. Senior Matt Arends found himself in single coverage with 15 seconds left and Rooney delivered a perfect pass. Arends had a step on the defender, but the Eagles’ cornerback was able to get a fingertip on the ball, changing its course just enough to where Arends couldn’t get a handle on it.

Rooney tried to hit junior Nick Hart down the other sidelines on fourth down, but the Eagles had that play well covered.

Arends scored the Lakers’ fi rst touchdown. He hauled in a 27-yard pass in double coverage from senior Topher Rose with 40 seconds left in the fi rst half. Arends leaped high in the air at about the 2-yard line to pull down the pass, while the Eagles’ defenders collided.

That tied the game 7-7 at the break. The Eagles opened the scoring with 28-yard scoring pass with 3:38 to play in the second quarter.

The third quarter was sort of the like the first quarter.

Each team’s defense made plays to stop drives before the Lakers were able to drive 57 yards for Johnson’s 14th touchdown of the year to grab the lead.

The Lakers were shutout six times last year en route to a 9-18 season. The team scored just one goal in nine other games.

Johnson said the team will rely on balanced scoring this season after losing Alex Citrowske to Division I Bemidji State. Citrowske had 71 goals in her five-year Lakers’ career.

Senior Michelle Jeurissen was the team’s top goal scorer back with 10 last year. Down 1-0, she had a breakaway in the fi rst period against Wayzata, but was stopped.

Most of the fi rst period was played in the Lakers’ own end with Wayzata scoring on the power play. Prior Lake was outshot 18-3 in the fi rst period.

Brandt had nine games last year with 30-plus saves and five of those came in the Lakers’ fi rst five contests. Remember, Prior Lake started last season 0-9 under fi rst-year coach Jaime Grossman, who left after one season to take the head job at Eden Prairie (a Section 2AA foe). Johnson has been Eden Prairie’s junior varsity coach the last two years.

Prior Lake played .500 hockey the rest of the way after its tough start, including beating Shakopee 5-0 in the section quarterfi nals.

“Lexi played the way we hoped she would (against Wayzata),” said Johnson. “It was a nice beginning to what I think will be a great season for her.

She will be counted on to give us a chance to win each night.

She really limited their second chances.”

T he Lakers are a young team, learning a third system

Senior Jack Kaiser had the big play on the drive, a 25-yard run down to the Eagles’ 2-yard line.

Prior Lake won the turnover battle 2-1. Prior Lake forced a fumble on fourth down in the first quarter, which was recovered by Lair.

Senior Mason Lytle picked off a pass in the second quarter.

After the game, the emotions poured out of the Lakers.

Just like the jubilant emotions flowed after Prior Lake won its first-ever section title Nov. 4 (27-7 over Eastview), these tears were ones of realization that the season was suddenly over. “(Totino-Grace) has got a great tradition of winning, but I don’t think our guys thought about that too much,” Gegenheimer said. “They knew they were coming to play a football game, and they played well. To Totino’s credit, they made the plays when they had to, and we didn’t always do that.”

Kaiser finished with 100 yards on 16 carries, giving him 1,216 yards on the season, along with 10 touchdowns. Arends caught five passes for 73 yards.

AUTO • LIFE • HOME BUSINESS

Rose was 7 of 11 for 83 yards.

Seniors Ted Choudek and Jake Deavers led the Lakers with 10 tackles, while senior Taylor Case had nine, junior Parker Anderson had eight and senior Karmichael Dunbar had seven. Junior Elijah Patrick had a sack, giving him a teambest 11.5 on the season.

Deavers finished the season with a team-best 123 tackles.

A man from Savage charged with financially taking advantage of a mentally-vulnerable Prior Lake woman he was dating has now been charged with assaulting the woman on Nov. 8.

Jay Allen Stier, 31, is charged with two counts of misdemeanor domestic assault, violating a protection order, violating a nocontact order and interfering with a 911 call in relation to the Nov. 8 incident. Stier already was facing two counts of financially exploiting a vulnerable adult stemming from incidents occurring this spring.

According to the complaint, the woman picked up Stier from a Prior Lake gas station at approximately 6:45 p.m. and took him to her home in Prior Lake.

While there, Stier allegedly became upset over his legal issues involving the woman and demanded to be driven home.

While in the garage, the argument escalated and Stier allegedly pushed her against a car, then pushed her against a wall

and held her there. She said he grabbed her by the throat with one hand a nd covered her mouth with another, c au si n g her bottom lip to bleed.

Jay Allen The woman Stier w a s able t o push him away and run back into the kitchen, but Stier followed her and allegedly pushed her against the stove and onto the floor. The woman retrieved her cell phone and told Stier she was calling 911, at which point Stier allegedly grabbed the phone and threw it up a set of stairs. He then left the home, and police eventually found him behind a nearby fish house.

In April, a domestic abuse nocontact order was fi led against Stier in relation to a charge of felony domestic abuse by strangulation involving the woman, and in August, an order of protection was filed against Stier.

He was ordered not to have any

contact with the woman and to stay at least one mile away from her home.

In an interview with police, the woman said that she’d known Stier for five years and that they had been dating for two years. The woman suffered brain damage from a car accident in 2000. The woman’s father, her legal conservator, told police in May that he believed Stier might be taking advantage of his daughter financially.

According to a criminal complaint, Stier had attempted to buy a new truck from a New Prague dealership in March but was denied because of his credit history. Stier then allegedly convinced the woman to co-sign on a vehicle-credit application for more than $34,000. He also convinced her to trade in her lien-free vehicle, with a value of $3,500, to help him purchase the truck. Only Stier’s name is on the new truck’s title.

The woman told police that Stier kept “bugging” her to help him buy the truck, but not to tell her father about it.

She said that while they were

at the dealership, she called her aunt for advice. Her aunt told her not to co-sign the loan and asked to speak with Stier, but Stier refused. The woman eventually signed the loan, but said she wanted to talk to her father about it as she didn’t understand all the numbers in the contract. She later said that she didn’t understand what the term “co-sign” meant.

The woman also didn’t know that Stier had traded in his Dodge Charger, which had an outstanding $4,700 lien against it, for more than it was worth, according to the complaint. In April, she received a $300 bill addressed to her for Stier’s Dodge Charger. She said that when she confronted him about it, he assaulted her.

Stier has been in Scott County jail since Nov. 9 and his bail is set at $132,000. On Nov. 11, police said Stier again violated the domestic abuse no-contact order by calling the woman from jail. His first court appearance for the fi nancial exploitation charges is scheduled for Dec. 2.

Predatory offender arrested for failing to register A predatory offender from Minneapolis who was staying at a Savage motel was arrested earlier this month for failing to register with his new address.

Javier Lopez Pliego, 24, is charged with knowingly violating the registration requirements of a predatory offender, which is a felony.

According to the complaint, a Savage police officer was conducting a routine check at the Savage Motor Inn, 7361 Highway 13, on Nov. 7 when he came across Pliego’s name. The officer saw that Pliego is a registered predatory offender, but that the Savage Police Department had no record of Pliego

staying at the motel.

The motel’s manager told the officer that Pliego initially checked in on Oct. 21 and that he believed Pliego had stayed there every night since then.

When officers spoke with Pliego, he said that while his primary address is in Minneapolis, he works in Chaska, and that it was easier for him to commute from Savage. Pliego initially said he had been staying at the motel for about a week, but later told police it was closer to three weeks.

Pliego said he was going to Minneapolis that day to register a secondary address. The officer asked Pliego if he knew that he

could do that in Savage, and Pliego said he did, but didn’t know where the police station was.

After being placed under arrest and read his Miranda rights, Pliego told police he had been returning to his primary residence on the weekends. Pliego acknowledged that he should have updated his registration information, but also said that when he first moved into the motel, he was only planning on staying for a short time.

When asked why he did not update the address earlier, Pliego said he was busy with work and didn’t want to take the time off because he would lose money. When asked if he knew what time frame the state allowed for him to register a secondary address, Pliego said he thought he was supposed to report a secondary address within three days of moving there. The officer informed him that it was five days.

Pliego has an omnibus hearing scheduled for Jan. 5, 2012 in Scott County District Court.

FIRE CALLS Nov. 10 At 6:55 p.m., firefighters were called to the 5300 block of McColl Drive for a grass and brush fire in a wooded area.

The fire was approximately 30 feet in diameter and on a steep slope near Credit River. Firefighters had to access it by walking approximately 200 yards from the roadway and crossing Credit River. The fire was extinguished with water cans, brooms, shovels and a chainsaw. The cause of the fire was not determined.

Nov. 12 At 12:57 p.m., firefighters were called to Highway 13 and Egan Drive for a report of a grass fire in the area.

Upon arrival, firefighters were unable to locate the fire. Dispatch called back to say that the reporting party had the

wrong location. All units were canceled as the call was in Shakopee.

At 2:24 p.m., firefighters were called to the 14900 block of O’Connell Road for a report of an electrical odor in the home and a haze of smoke. Upon investigation it was determined that a sound system in the home had overheated and caused one of the rubber foot pads to begin to melt. Firefighters assisted with ventilation and cleared the scene.

At 5:24 p.m., firefighters were called to Canterbury Park, 1344 Inglewood Avenue, for a report of a grass fire surrounding the wetland. The fire was approximately one acre in size. Firefighters extinguished the fire in less than 20 minutes. No investigation was conducted as the weather conditions were

extremely dry and windy.

At 10:23 p.m., firefighters were called to the 4300 block of 124th Street for a report of a piece of furniture on fire outside the home. Police canceled the call as the homeowner had put the fire out.

Nov. 13 At 7:03 p.m., firefighters were called to the 14500 block of 145th Street for a report of fire alarms sounding, although the caller was unable to locate source.

VFW: Young veterans need apply Local organization struggles to reach newest vets

BY LORI CARLSON editor@plamerican.com

It’s a week after Veterans Day, and rows of little American fl ags have been removed from yards and driveways.

Twitter and Facebook updates expressing respect for our nation’s veterans have returned to sillier subject matter.

The official day of remembrance has passed, and the Prior Lake VFW – like others throughout the nation – is still left struggling to reach a younger demographic.

“It’s very difficult to get younger people involved. We’re struggling, as are all VFWs and Legions,” said Ed Speiker, manager of the Prior Lake club and bar. Speiker’s parents, Leona and Anthony, were charter members of the local VFW and women’s auxiliary.

“There’s not the commitment there once was,” Speiker said. “If we don’t get someone to carry on the VFW, it will probably go to the wayside.”

The Prior Lake VFW’s current leadership is significantly younger than many others. Its post commander, Eric Satersmoen, is 29. Senior and junior vice commanders (and siblings) Blake and Moriah Rothnem also are in their mid- to late-20s, as are Speiker’s nieces, Sara and Betsy.

Still, of the 20 or so Prior Lake members under the age of 40, just a handful are actively involved, Satersmoen and Speiker said.

“We’re excited to have this young group of leaders,” Speiker said. “I don’t think it’s a crisis at this point – we’re doing OK – but we’re aware of the changing demographic.”

CAMARADERIE Wars in the Middle East have been going on for a good portion of Satersmoen’s life. He enlisted at age 17, even before he had fi nished high school, and had his fi rst Iraq tour of duty at age 19.

He completed a second tour in Iraq in 2005 and fi nished his time with the military as an E5 sergeant. Satersmoen signed up with the VFW in 2004, while still in Iraq.

“Growing up in Prior Lake, I saw how the VFW was such a staple in the community,” he says. “People took great pride in the opportunity to become

a member.”

S at e r s mo e n , l i ke m a ny young soldiers, initially wasn’t sure how the VFW could help him.

“People think it’s just a bunch of vets hanging out at the bar,” he says.

But aside from just a watering hole, Satersmoen and other young vets have found in the VFW a place where they don’t have to explain themselves or pretend to be someone they’re not.

“It’s about the camaraderie – having someone know what you went through, even if it was a different time period or confl ict,” he says.

Satersmoen notes t hat young veterans in particular can fi nd comfort, support and resources when they return and face any number of warrelated demons.

“A lot of younger people are coming back and having a real tough time,” Satersmoen says.

“This is kind of a funny war, because even though not that many are dying in conf lict, they are dying from suicide when they return.”

Satersmoen learned that truth the hard way. He lost his best friend, Jonathan Schulze, to suicide in 2007. Schulze, a Prior Lake Marine, had suffered f rom post-t rau matic stress disorder resulting from his service in Iraq.

Staff Sgt. Sara Speiker, 29, also believes young veterans can benefit from belonging to the VFW. She, too, has childhood steak-fry-and-community-benefit memories associated with the club. In addition to her uncle and grandparents, her father, the late Jim Speiker, also was a well-known Prior Lake VFW member. Speiker was technically a member of the VFW Auxiliary at age 16, though she didn’t become active until later.

“It made sense,” she says of joining as a veteran while still in Iraq.

Though she’s taken a step back from the VFW recently to fi nish her master’s degree, Speiker previously served as junior vice chairperson. Her connections with the local V F W have taught her how much the organization can help soldiers to reintegrate when they come home.

“You might think you don’t need the VFW, but someone’s been in your boat before, or if they haven’t, they know someone who has,” she says. “Those guys are gems of knowledge.”

She also sees the VFW as a place of safety and solace.

Our veterans: A snapshot A total of 405,354 Minnesota veterans had served on active duty from pre-World War II through 2007, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2007 American Community Survey. Of the primary wars during this period, the breakdown includes: Era

“W hen you t a l k to nonveterans, they will ask you, ‘What did you see? Did you shoot a weapon? ’” she says.

“But when you talk to other vets, they want to know where you were stationed and your dates of service. It’s a judgefree environment. I’ve seen grown men cry. You can let your guard down.”

‘WE NEED YOUNG BLOOD’ Despite its current young leadership, the local VFW’s challenge is to reach out to younger veterans who don’t have family history or childhood connections to the organization.

Lyaman McPherson, a past commander of the VFW and a veteran of the fi rst Gulf War, said he understands that when young soldiers come home, they’re usually ready to move on with their lives – looking for jobs, getting married, having a family.

“Forgive me, but when I came back, I didn’t want anything to do with Uncle Sam,” he says. “When you just come back, you don’t realize the benefits of the VFW, educational, medical or otherwise.”

As an active member of the Prior Lake VFW, McPherson has tried to educate people about what the VFW has to offer. Though many Vietnam vets were not well-received when they came home, and therefore tended to stay away from the VFW, more have been joining the ranks, McPherson

Eric Satersmoen, 29, is one of the country’s youngest VFW post commanders. The Prior Lake post will continue that trend when Senior Vice Commander Blake Rothnem takes over for Satersmoen in the coming year. says, but getting younger vets interested still remains a challenge.

“We are undergoing a paradigm shift from the Korean War vets to the new generation. With a little luck, better education of the general public on what we are, and some work on our part, I believe we can prove our benefit to these veterans,” he says.

Wit h an esti mated 7,0 0 0 to 10,0 0 0 veterans in Scott County, Todd Kubinski also faces a big challenge – to point veterans to resources that can help them with a wide range of issues.

Kubinski, the county’s veterans service director, doesn’t feel comfortable pushing VFW membership on veterans, as his job is to help vets in need. But he acknowledges the VFW’s struggle to attract younger members.

“Each wartime generation is separated by a number of years, and they have complete-

ly different interests,” he says.

“Fortunately, in Scott County, we’ve had a lot of younger guys step up and take leadership roles, which is awesome.”

But the younger membership in Prior Lake is “very unusual” statewide and nationwide, Kubinski says.

“I think VFWs really need to consult with people who run businesses that cater to younger folks,” he says. “But they also still have a responsibility to maintain a balance so t hey c a n c ater to more seasoned vets, too. It’s a tough dilemma; I really don’t know the answer.”

Kubinski, who blames the state’s smoking ban on declining club gaming revenues, says if local clubs had the funds, they could update their amenities and appeal to a younger crowd.

He mentions a VFW post in Georgia that had a large contingent of soldiers who served in Afghanistan. The

post remodeled its faci lity and added a new dance floor, a state-of-the-art audio system and gaming stations.

“They had about 10 gaming stations so people could play against each other or online against their comrades overseas,” he says.

Ed Speiker also acknowledges the changing times and technology.

“We need new blood,” he says. “Society is changing; for the younger generations, everything is electronic.”

Speiker, as the local club’s manager, says young people do acknowledge that the VFW has “the cheapest drinks in town.”

Satersmoen says the club is trying to bring in events that draw younger crowds, such a s Oktob er fest a nd M a rdi Gras celebrations and younger bands.

“The VFW isn’t about sitting at a bar – it has to do with the organization and how it can help veterans,” he says.
