PACER Pregnancy Resource Center going mobile
SAVAGE CITY COUNCIL
Sports dome decision to be made Monday BY AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com
NEIGHBORS A neighborhood meeting was held at City Hall Dec. 5 and drew about 25 residents. City Administrator Barry Stock gave an overview of the sports dome project and allowed time for questions.
“A lot of the questions I didn’t have answers to because we haven’t gone through a formal site plan review process,” said Stock, noting that site plan review comes after a project is given the go-ahead by the City Council. Questions from residents centered on monitoring noise, hours of operation, visitors parking on neighborhood streets, additional demand on the police department, loitering and vandalism. A question was also asked about the possibility of an operating loss and where the City would find the money to cover a deficit if one occurred. The estimated project cost for the sports dome and 5,000-square-foot permanent structure is around $ 5 million and the City would utilize 15-year bonds as a funding source. Initial fi nancial analysis presented by Stock showed annual revenue of $800,000, annual operating expenses of $300,000 and an annual debt service payment of $500,000. “The project budget is conservative as it does not include any revenue related to concessions and indoor advertising,” said Stock. “The budget also includes a $20,000 contingency fund. With that being said, I believe it would be appropriate to be prepared for a potential annual operating loss.” Stock said the two sources of funds to cover losses would be the Park Reserve Fund and the General Fund. If the General Fund were used to make up for a shortfall, each $100,000 would equate to about a $9 increase in taxes for residents. “Is it worth it to our community if this facility would lose $100,000 or $200,000 per year?” Stock asked. Additionally, Mayor Janet Williams talked about the possibility

The Savage City Council is expected to make a decision Monday night related to the indoor sports dome proposed at Community Park. The dome would be owned by the City’s Economic Development Authority (EDA) and leased to the city of Savage. During a City Council work session Monday, Dec. 12, council members unanimously agreed to put the sports dome topic on the Dec. 19 agenda; however, Councilwoman Jane Victorey openly expressed her concerns about the amount of debt the City would take on, the size of the dome and the location. “I’m not comfortable with this whole thing,” said Victorey. “I know that it’s only up half the year, but it’s half the year that it’s up.” Councilman Al McColl said “due diligence” has been done over the last two years with research related to the dome. “Regardless of how the vote goes, it has to come to a head,” said McColl. “The only way we can do that is by bringing it to the Council.” The question that will be put before City Council members on Monday will be whether the City should move forward with the project and select an architect. According to City Administrator Barry Stock, the City has received proposals for the sports dome from five architects.

The proposed sports dome would be located in the northern quadrant of the Community Park just beyond the tennis courts.

A 44-year-old man from Savage who sexually abused his daughters for several years was sentenced on Monday in Scott County District Court to nearly 20 years of prison. The women are now in their 20s. The oldest daughter, who suffered the longest, recalled the fi rst instance of sexual abuse occurring
in her parents’ bedroom when she was 7 years old. As a teenager, she told police, she was raped nearly every day. The abuse stopped for the younger daughter after she went to authorities in 2003, but it continued against her sister until last year. No criminal charges were fi led against the man until the second

Baking club stirs up culinary creations for a cause BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

A lot of people take great pride in their ability to bake. But how many people can say their frosted sugar cookies are feeding American soldiers stationed in Kuwait over the holiday season? Started earlier this month, a new baking club at Burnsville High School aims to make the world around them a better place through sugary delights. The club’s name, WHISK, stand for “Where Happy Individuals Serve Kindness,” and that’s exactly what they intend to do. Earlier this semester, BHS senior Kelsey McGuire of Burnsville approached family and consumer sciences (FACS) teacher Laurie King about starting a baking club at the school. Within a matter
of days, another student, senior Stephanie Andrews of Eagan had also approached King about starting a baking club. But McGuire’s idea had a twist: the baked goods that the club would make could be donated to places around the community. “I’ve always had a passion for baking,” said McGuire, “and I knew I wanted to add in some volunteering aspect to it.” The group meets after school on Tuesdays in room G140, and the cost is $10 to join. At their second official meeting on Tuesday, the group made 350 sugar cookies to send to soldiers stationed in Kuwait. But why Kuwait? King has a son stationed in Kuwait, as does another FACS teacher, so it seemed like a natural fit. To bring attention to the new

club, McGuire (who now serves as president), her friend, fellow senior and club Vice President Leah Niemeyer of Eagan, and Andrews (who serves as treasurer) handed out 650 mini-cupcakes outside of the school in early December, and at their first meeting they gave away cookies to those who attended. At Tuesday’s meeting, the first where students actually got to bake, 30 students participated. “We were hoping people would still come today even though we aren’t giving away free stuff,” said Niemeyer, “and thankfully they did.” The group also plans to draw people in through Facebook. McGuire said they will start offering deals through their page (W.H.I.S.K.) where

be equipped with the same resources as their brick-andmortar facility: ultrasound machine, bathroom, sofa and meeting space. “It’s retrofitted, so it doesn’t look like a typical RV,� said Hermann. The total cost to purchase the ICU Mobile unit is $125,000, and Alpha estimates that it will need to raise another $75,000 to cover the fi rst year’s expenses, which would include the salary for an ultrasound tech. As of Dec. 1, Alpha had raised $31,000, which is being held in an escrow account. A lpha’s current location on Highway 13 just north of Connelly Parkway is a converted house that is zoned commercial.

In addition to its mobile unit, Alpha would consider leasing a small office space in Shakopee or Chaska that is within walking distance to a bus line. “We would like to be closer to where the people are, in a more centralized location,� said Hermann. “If it’s convenient for people to get to it, they’ll get to it.� Hermann also said it will
be important for Alpha to be closer to the schools. “If the bus can’t take them to it or they can’t walk, they won’t seek out the resources,� said Hermann. In its current Savage location, Hermann doesn’t believe Alpha is reaching the people. “Part of the problem with where Alpha is at now, people aren’t recognizing it. What does Alpha mean?� said Hermann. Alpha’s Director Mary Johnson, who is a volunteer, agreed. “What’s most interesting about the mobile unit is that it will have no boundaries. In our current location we serve Scott and Carver counties, but we could go anywhere,� she said. Hermann suggested that Alpha could park the ICU Mobile unit in parking lots, at churches, on college campuses “or wherever they would let us park for the day,� she said. “Eighty-seven percent of women will choose life if they have that opportunity to see that ultrasound,� said Johnson.
TRANSITION With a mobile unit, Alpha’s hope is to cater to the “new face� of 19-24 year-old women who are more technologicallysavvy and, according to a letter from the Board of Directors, women who “no longer hesitate to have an abortion.� During this transition period, Alpha will continue its mission of educating and counseling abortion-minded women and their partners, and offering pregnancy tests, ultrasounds and post-abortive recovery counseling. The center will be open by appointment only and
will be run by volunteer staff. The three paid staff members who worked at Alpha will be out of positions until the mobile unit is up and running. Then, Hermann said, they will most likely be hired back. “We’re trying to get lean and mean and really focus on putting this mobile unit into place,� said Johnson. If Alpha receives the money it needs to buy the ICU Mobile unit prior to the sale of its building, the Board of Directors will decide whether to move forward with the mobile unit before the building is sold. “We are praying and hoping that the money comes soon,� said Hermann. “I know that there is some person out there that is willing to write a check to us.�
HISTORY Alpha open in 1982 with a long-term goal of having a maternity house. When the organization renovated and moved in 2000 to its current location at 13845 S. Highway 13 in Savage, one of the major components including having the maternity house in the upper level. The maternity house was staffed and occupied for a few months in 20 03, but closed shortly after. Alpha has continued its counseling services, preg nancy tests and ultrasounds free of charge. Alpha is one of 57 pregnancy resource centers in the state, according to Johnson, and Robbinsdale Women’s Center is also attempting to raise funds for the purchase of an ICU Mobile unit. “We’re excited about this mobile unit,� said Herman. “Wow, what this could do.�

The new rooms were one component of this summer’s renovations BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com
In her 34 years as a science teacher, Jennifer Hugstad-Vaa didn’t have hot water in her classrooms. “I didn’t have air conditioning, either,” she said. “It was so miserable when it was 100 degrees. The kids would just drip sweat.” Now, Hugstad-Vaa has both. As one of the first components of a three-summer, $13 million deferred maintenance project at Burnsville High School, science classrooms and labs received a major facelift this summer. During a tour of the renovations at the high school this July, District 191 Director of Operations and Properties Jon Deutsch said that updating the science classrooms was their “number one priority,” and Principal Dave Helke agreed. Among the changes were new fi xtures and equipment, and the labs were reconfigured to make better use of the space. Also, the doors to the science rooms were changed to comply with ADA standards. The old ones only opened up to

using the dome as its primary facility. Currently, the groups said they travel as far as Faribault, Minnetonka, Rosemount, Vadnais Heights, Blaine and Woodbury for games and practices. T hey esti mated t hat there are at least 10,000 youth athletes locally who would take advantage of the sports dome. They also threw out ot her ide a s for add ition a l uses: f lag-football leagues, rugby, ultimate Frisbee clubs and marching band practice. “If it’s in the community, it will be used,” said Mark Peller, president of P.L.A.Y.

students can print off a picture for a baked goodie and redeem it for a corresponding treat. According to King, the girls have taken control of the club and are running with it. “These guys are pretty amazing; they’re doing it all,” said King, “I’m here to be the adviser, and I help, but they’re the ones that are really doing it.” As of right now, there is no set plan for what the club will bake week to week, so the girls hand out “idea sheets” to each of the stations so members can add their
a 90-degree angle, making it difficult, if not impossible, for people in wheelchairs to enter the rooms. So when area coordinator for the science department Deanna Bane heard about the renovations, she was more than pleased. “We were all very excited,” Bane said laughing. Bane said teachers have been talking about the substandard conditions of the rooms for about 15 years. So what were some of the biggest problems with the classrooms? “For one, overcrowding, because the were designed for 24 students, and typically we have an average of 32 students [in each class] ,” said Bane. “Also, flexibility, because you were pretty much locked in to one arrangement in those classrooms, and most teachers like to change up the arrangement of their desks to meet the needs of their lessons.” Hugstad-Vaa pointed out another more specific, and irritating, problem with the old classrooms. “The [window] screens wouldn’t stay on and we’d have bees fly in and, of course, we have students who are allergic to bees,” she said.
Hugstad-Vaa said the storage space was also lacking, and agreed with Bane that overcrowding had become a serious problem. She said that the lab areas in some of the chemistry classrooms were packed so tight that “students were right on top of each other.” When the teachers returned from summer vacation this year, their first impressions were that the change was impressive. “I was very impressed with how they managed the amount of space that we had to work with,” said Bane, “because they weren’t able to expand the footprint, yet they were able to really improve the efficiency of the space.” Hugstad-Vaa said she was just happy to have hot water and air conditioning, but agreed that the increased efficiency of the space was probably the biggest improvement. She said she also appreciated the increased storage space, the improved independent study rooms and the fact that projectors now consistently work with the teacher’s computers so teachers don’t have to wheel in projectors on a cart.
Not only are the teachers impressed, so are the students. “They’re so open and roomy, which is really nice. And they’re bright. The old rooms were really dim,” said BHS senior Carissa Kloncz. “It’s just more organized, which makes it a lot easier to concentrate. And it’s really nice to have [equipment] that’s workable and new.” Junior Tom Husen said he also appreciates the new classrooms. “They seem a lot cleaner,” he said. “The sinks work better, everything just works better. It makes it a lot easier to fi nish labs.” Having new, snazzy science labs is nice and all, but how will that translate to higher achievement for students? “I think it helps when students take pride in the environment they’re in,” said Bane. “They’re also more comfortable as they’re able to move around. And they’re probably going to get more labs, too, as it’s easier to set them up and take them down now.” Hugst ad-Vaa ag reed. “It makes it a lot easier for them to focus,” she said. “I don’t hear any complaining from them anymore.”

THE SITE
Proposed project
The proposed sports dome site would be at the north end of Community Park on land that was obtained by the City last year through a pre-park dedication agreement with the property owner. Stock said the current tennis and basketball courts at Community Park would be removed and would likely be relocated elsewhere in the park. Alternative sites were suggested by residents including moving the facility to the east on the site of a future baseball field or to the Prior Lake High School site. A resident who identified herself as being the closest neighbor to the project ques-
tioned the 70 -foot height of t he dome and its location. “My problem is this is an industrial project right in the
midd le of a neighborhood. It’s my neighborhood and, to me, it doesn’t belong there,” she said.
own input. McGuire said the group will likely stick to simpler recipes and treats that are easy to transport. One item that is on the schedule, however, is some sort of gluten-free treat. King said a teacher will be speaking to the club sometime this year to teach the kids about gluten-free cooking, and the club plans to follow up with a gluten-free baking day. King said the group already has some ideas as to where to send their culinary creations, such as local fire stations and nursing homes, but they are still looking for new places to help. In fact, King asks that groups
interested in receiving WHISK’s goods contact her on her work phone – (952) 7072457 – or through the club’s Facebook page. Another positive aspect of the club is how it brings people together that otherwise might not hang out. “Kids that might not even take a FACS class are in here cooking and baking and learning, and also talking to people,” explained King. Several students in the club can testify to that. While some students, like sophomore Raika Iftekhar of Burnsville, are already familiar with the art of baking, it’s a completely new experience for others, like
Andrew Nhan on Savage. “I wanted to try something different, and I want to learn how to make my own [food] at home,” said Nhan. “I also want to brag to my mom that I can bake now.” While the treats are being sent off to deserving organizations, that doesn’t mean the kids don’t get to sample their own creations. “Everybody gets at least one,” said King. Ultimately, said McGuire, the goal of the group is to put smiles on people’s faces. “We just want to make people happy and have fun,” said McGuire. “It’s something different and a really fun way to volunteer.

COMMUNITY VOICES
Focus on what brings us together in this world gone mad The world’s gone mad. Politics agitate where scandal, skeletons and the underbelly of human nature are exposed in the name of the race. The economic divide intensifies, fostering discontent and hostility. It’s just plain and simple, uncertain times. As our days turn colder, shorter and darker, we need to shift our focus on things that bring us together. A few weeks back we threw a good ole fashioned cribbage tourney. It was the sixth annual. As the host, I took the liberty to extend an invitation to a few newbies. We have a vibrant network of friends. The result: a hefty list of contenders from varying backgrounds and networks. Hippies and conservatives, young kids and grannies, house wives and highbrows – all rubbing elbows side by side. A plethora of humanity. My stepson was the tournament coordinator; none better than him, truly. He patiently built the brackets with graphs and charts and stats. We taped posters throughout the house with info from previous years. As players showed up, money was collected, their names were added to the brackets and everyone settled in. Perhaps it’s a result of our petulant climate. People need a reason to gather and cheer. Once the word got out about the tourney, everyone wanted in. We started sweating. Where would we put a billion cribbage players in our little Savage abode? In the end, begrudgingly we expanded out into the garage. I have never been a garage dweller, in fact it kind of chaps my hide when we go to our friends beautiful homes and they want to hang out in their garage. Anyhow, lucky for us, due to my obsessive compulsion malady, I collect chairs. Chairs, tables and rugs as a matter of fact. I know, I know, I’m working on it. Anyhow, we threw them all around the house and the garage and we were good to go. Let the games begin. Cribbage is exciting. With terms like crib, nobs, garnixed and stinkhole, it’s a friendly card game that can become pretty competitive in a lively sort of way. We had players from every skill level. Several of the expert contesters can count their cards by sight alone, meaning they don’t actually count them, they recognize

the point value just by sight. But the best attribute of cribbage is the rich mingle of luck and skill; a large percent of winning is chance and relative to the cards you are dealt. One good hand can turn a game in a New York minute. Hmmm, an interesting concept, no? The cards that you are dealt. Ugg. Not always all that good. Lately, mine have sucked. (Brother can you lend a hand?) But I regress. The party, er, tournament, turned out to be fantastic. One of the new guys won the trophy (yep, we have a trophy). Fattening food, more wine than water, three generations of players, sprinkle in a few cuss words, and a boatload of laughter and camaraderie. I’m not sure if it was because it’s a party centered on a game that fashioned such a happy atmosphere, or that we all just needed an escape from the doldrums now and again. Or, perhaps, it’s the season. The season of gathering and celebrating. Either way, it proved to be a festive event that I’m quite confident was enjoyed by all. Sometimes we’re not dealt the hand we need at the time. But, trod on we must. It’s a world gone mad. Do yourself a favor this season, turn off the negative political ads and throw a buck or two into the charity bucket for the less fortunate. We need to look outside of ourselves and find the common thread that binds us together. And if you need help, as you navigate through your daily muck, find some affirmation within your network of friends and family over a little wooden board, small brass pegs and a deck of cards.

Everyone needs someone for visits and conversation Walking through one of the malls the other day I noticed that Santa was sitting by himself, bearded head in gloved hand. There was no one on his lap and no one in line waiting. I found this troubling. Santa should not be sitting by himself. Why is no one talking to him? I considered approaching the old fellow and asking him if he needed some company. I could have pulled up a chair next to his green throne – no need to sit on his lap, and I doubt very much he would have sat on mine. We could have talked about anything he wanted. For starters I would have asked him what he wanted for Christmas, and then we could have moved on to a discussion of child-labor laws and their effect on child-like elves. Perhaps I would have some explaining to do about this year’s behavior, or maybe I could have told him about the summer I met his wife. I was working at a nursing home as an orderly. I took advantage of the situation and engaged the residents in conversation whenever I could. One woman was especially pleasant to talk to. Although her legs were too weak to support her, her mind was strong enough to carry on a conversation. She was short and round and her eyes sparkled behind her round glasses that sat just above her round,

glowing cheeks. And to complete the circle, her hair was drawn back in a bun that outlined her happy, round face. She was known to everyone as Minnie, but I knew who she was. She was Mrs. Santa Claus; who else could she be? I asked her once why she thought I addressed her as Mrs. Santa. “Because I’m so fat,” she said with the trademark belly-shaking laugh. “No, that’s not it,” I said laughing with her. Although I guess it was partly true. “No, it’s because you are so happy. “How else should I be?” she asked. Clearly, there was no better alternative. In our talks I found that she had led a busy life. In addition to keeping house at the North Pole she
enjoyed gardening, baking, sewing and mending. After the summer ended I went back to college. I never saw her again, but I will never forget her either. Thirty years passed and I found myself back at the nursing home again, this time visiting my father, and then later, my mother. Often, during these visits we would include another resident in our conversations. It was usually rewarding. Naturally, I met some wonderful people. But, after my folks passed on I quit going to the nursing home, maybe because I wasn’t strong enough to push past the pain, or maybe I was just being selfish and lazy. But that’s going to change. This week I am going back there for a little conversation. There are many people waiting for a visitor to share some time. We all have someone we know who would love to see us, and if not, there is someone we haven’t met yet in a hospital or a nursing home who would love a visitor. Everyone needs someone to talk to, even Mrs. Santa Claus and her husband. (Jerry Kucera of Sand Creek Township owns a Shakopee insurance agency and is a Valley News community columnist.

LETTERS FROM READERS POST OFFICE
A ‘boondoggle’ with taxpayer money I am writing about the wonderful news and the joy I now have. When I read last week’s “Pacer,” I was overcome with happiness to see that the city of Savage has bought the post office building. “Done deal.” I can only imagine the back slapping and high fives at City Hall over the latest boondoggle with the taxpayer’s dollars. Do you not think that money could have been better used for other reasons? One minute you read all the lost funds from the state and municipal liquor sales, but then Savage has the money to buy buildings. We, the taxpayers, are having increasingly harder times keeping food on the table and gas in the car. Not to mention home value losses. I guess money is not a problem to Mr. Stock and the City Council when they can reach into our pockets when more is needed.
Once again the City has shown no fiscal responsibility when it comes to spending. If you have so many funds, why not send me some so I can pay for our upcoming sewer/water/street improvements? What that is going to cost is a drop in the bucket compared to the post office building. Come on Council, give us a break. Remember, it is better to give than to receive. I will gladly accept your generous check. It will help immensely. “Tis the season.”

Then, do you remember a year or so ago when a private citizen came up with a better idea of how to design the 169-494 interchange area and how that idea would have saved MnDOT at least $100 million, maybe more. That option would have preserved Friendship Village’s (a retirement community) access to 169 and 494, and would have been much better for their access for health, fi re and police protection. For those who drive that area, they know that MnDOT’s plan is what is under construction and those potential savings just weren’t needed. What is $100 million anyway? Well, that money could have been used to do what is needed to make Highway 52 a safer highway with money leftover to do other things than MnDOT needs to do. They talk about resurfacing projects that are needed but no money to do them. Can you imagine how many of those projects could have been done with the $100 million that should have been saved at the 169-494 interchange?

PRIOR LAKE-SAVAGE AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
‘Tireless’ advocate loses battle with brain cancer BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com
Kari Klima was always ready for a fight. She was never one to give up, and good luck trying to count her out. When she was diagnosed with brain cancer in April 2010, she did everything but back down – even pledging that she would watch her daughter Mackenzie and son Skylar walk across the stages to graduate from high school and college, and be there to see them both get married and become parents. “I can fight anything,” she said in August. “Her response was as you’d expect – it was very strong, and there was no treatment she backed away from. It was always, ‘Bring it on,’” said Charley, her husband of 15 years. “I think it was hard for her to come to terms with the possibility that she might not make it.” But on the evening of Dec. 9, 20 months after being diagnosed and eight weeks after moving into The Pillars Hospice Home in Oakdale, Klima – surrounded by family – lost her battle with brain cancer. She was 49.
“She was not in any pain,” Charley said. “She passed away in great peace.” In its last days, the disease robbed Klima of her ability to speak. It was her voice that often served as her weapon of choice when it came to supporting the causes she believed in. Whether it was rallying parents together as a member of the district’s early childhood and family education council or advocating on behalf of gifted and talented programming, Klima was never afraid to speak up, a stark contrast to how she spent her final days. “It was very difficult for her to communicate what was going on in her head,” Charley said. That’s also not the version of his wife that Charley thinks people will remember. “Everyone saw the energy, the selflessness, the commitment,” he said. “Lots of people told me that she never sat down. Well, that’s true. Even at home, she never sat down.” Charley was reminded once again of his wife’s commitment to the students in the Prior Lake-Savage area earlier this week. As he filled
out her death certificate, he had to disclose her occupation. Though in the past she did sales for IBM and had her own consulting company, neither of those job descriptions are what came to mind. “I thought, ‘On which day?” Charley said when faced with having to articulate his wife’s career. He settled on three words: “children’s education advocate.” “It may not be pretty specific, but it’s pretty encompassing,” he said. Superintendent Sue Ann Gruver shared that view. “Kari has been instrumental in our district for decades,” Gruver said. “I was so impressed by her commitment to the students and to education and their ability to learn wherever they are and make sure that we are providing a rigorous learning experience for our students at all levels. Her legacy will continue on in our schools. She will be dearly missed.” Gruver called Klima “a super volunteer,” no doubt due in part to her service on countless district committees and her status as a founding member of the Prior Lake-
Savage Area Education Foundation. As for Klima’s legacy, Charley hopes it will include parents realizing the power they have to affect their communities. “Keeping a spirit alive means never forgetting. I think she made a path that showed you can get things done with limited resources or long odds,” he said. “Hopefully there will be more people that will take that lead to accomplish things for our children and their future. That’s what she was all about.” It should come as no surprise, then, that Klima’s wish was for any donations or gifts for her family to be split among her favorite causes – many of which are District 719-centric. “She brought a lot of good to a lot of people,” Charley said, calling his wife a “selfless advocate.” People tried their hardest to bring good to Klima, especially as cancer took its toll. Friends and family all but lined up to visit Klima’s Prior Lake home and later The Pillars, bringing food, sharing stories and even performing
music. “If I look at what has transpired over the last year, the outpouring of support has just been phenomenal,” Charley said. But he, Mackenzie and Skylar will hold on to the memories of the wife and mother, the woman with an “infinite capacity for love,” someone who was “tireless” but breathed in every bit of nature when the family took camping or boating trips. Klima’s outlook on her diagnosis was a trademark mix of selflessness and, yes, tirelessness. “I keep saying over and over again, ‘Thank God it’s me and not one of my kids,’” she said in August. “I remain positive all the time … I can battle this. I can beat this.” Klima is survived by her husband of 15 years, Charley; her daughter Mackenzie; her son Skylar; her mother Ginger Knutson; her father Gerald Knutson; and her two sisters, Barbara Knutson and DeeDee Jacobson; as well as aunts, uncles, nephews and extended family. Visitation was on Wednesday at the Henry W. Anderson Mortuary in Apple

PET OF THE WEEK Santa, do you have a family for her in your bag? Attractive, sweet, easygoing Aggie greets you at the door, ankle rubs, and will let you know if you are late for dinner. This affectionate, tri-colored tortoiseshell was born June 2010. She likes being carried, getting her tummy stroked, and playing with toys. Aggie will stay in your lap for a short while, but prefers to sit next to you. She is fine with kids and most Aggie cats. She is waiting for your call. The above abandoned pet is being housed by the Carver-Scott 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.

SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS
Finding love and inclusiveness in the season This is the time of year that holds special meaning for many of us and reminds us of our interconnectedness with faiths, religions and cultures all over the world. The Christian celebration of Christmas has its roots in pre-Christian times. The Christmas symbols are examples: the tree, wreaths, Yule log, lights, ornaments, mistletoe, gift giving, Christmas cards and stockings “hung by the chimney with care” – all of these come from ancient cultures. How lovely that we have included them for they add so much meaning and beauty to countless celebrations of the season. In pagan Rome, Dec. 25 was celebrated as the birthday of Mithras, a prophet of the sun worshippers. These were people who looked at the sun as the giver of life and light. Their festivals, in the sun’s honor, took place near the shortest day of the year. At

PETERSON SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS
this time, the sun seemed to stand still for 12 days before it began its upward climb to spring. About 336 A.D., the church of Rome fixed the 25th day of December as the birthday of Jesus, so even the date has come from an ancient source. How wonderfully inclusive we are, but perhaps without even knowing it. Then there is the Christmas story, but to be correct we
must recognize two stories. One is found in Matthew and the other in Luke. These are two very different accounts, woven into one beautiful story that most of Christianity declares as literally true. Here was the Jewish baby, come to be the Savior, whose life and teachings changed the course of history that shaped the mind and culture of the Western world. Truly, this is something to celebrate. There is also something soul-stirring and lovely in seeing it that way. But if we look closely at the birth narratives, we see elements that give us pause: a wandering star, an angel chorus, a virginal conception, exotic magi, a wicked king, a side-saddle 100-mile ride on a donkey by a near-term pregnant woman – these are the things legends are made of. And these are just some of the things that make these stories incapable of standing
up to modern scholarship and scientific knowledge. Yet, this literal way of interpretation is sacred to many. My intention, then, is not to disparage what is written in the Gospels, but simply to open our minds to another way of viewing these endearing stories. If we allow the people, places and the event itself to become part of us, the stories and the birth become our own. We are coming into a higher awareness of our own true nature in which we catch glimpses of dimensions much larger than words on a page. It’s as if we enter a sacred mystery and find that we have been deemed to be a worthy receptacle in which love dwells – a love so magnificent it embraces us all. A few examples then: Mary is our heart, our intuitive nature and our peace that is always available to us. The inn: no room could be found
here. Of course not. The inn, besides being a chaotic, public place, is also our mind – often filled with clamoring busy thoughts that leave no room for spiritual ideas to settle in, gestate and come to full term. The birth requires a quiet place – a “stable” state of consciousness that allows the holy presence within us to be born in our receptive hearts. The birth is our awakening to the love and beauty that exists within us all. Bethlehem means “house of bread, of sustenance or house of living.” This is a city of the divine in which we “live and move and have our being.” This is where we see ourselves nourished, sustained and wondrously made. We see ourselves as miracles. In Luke’s account, he calls Bethlehem the city of David, which means love that translates into inclusiveness, kindness, harmony and healing.
In all we profess, love must come first. It must rule our thinking. Love must be the ruler of our lives. Love calls us to be like itself – to be the love that we already are. May we all be open to the many meanings of these holidays, in both religious and spiritual ways, for they remind us of self-discovery, renewal, transcendence and grace. The story contains the beauty of the outer event as well as the beauty of the inner one. It contains the birth and rebirth of unconditional love that is large enough to include us all – Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, agnostics, atheists and Christians of all kinds. Blessings to us all. (Rev. Audrey Peterson is a pastor at Unity of the Valley Spiritual Center in Savage.

PRIOR LAKE-SAVAGE AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
School Board approves 2.75-percent levy decrease BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com
Taxpayers within the Prior Lake-Savage Area School District will see a drop in the school portion of their tax bills. On Monday, Dec. 12, the District 719 School Board adopted the fi nal 2011 property tax levy following a truth-in-taxation forum. At $25.24 million, the 2012 levy is not only a 2.75-percent drop from the 2011 levy – valued at $25.95 million – it’s more than .4 percent lower than the $25.36 million preliminary 2012 levy the board approved in September. The district’s shrinking levy is due in part to a 3.9-percent drop in local property values and a 5.6 -percent decrease in adjusted net tax capacity. Earlier this fall, the School
Board approved refunding two building bonds, a move that – as Director of Business Affairs Julie Cink predicted in September – contributed to the $120,000 reduction between the preliminary and fi nal 2012 levies. “Despite all of the fi nancial concerns we’ve had over the last decade ‌ I’m proud that we can reduce our levy and reduce it under real terms,â€? said Board Chairman Eric Pratt, who called the levy decrease “appropriate given the housing market.â€? The only significant change between this year’s and last year’s levies, according to Cink, is the almost $48,000 increase in other post employment benefits (OPEB), which refers to benefits such as health, dental and life insurance that the district pays for retirees. That
value jumped to $732,935 this year, compared with $685,207 last year, contributing to an approximately $ 232,000 rise in the general fund portion of the levy. Other changes include an adjustment to community services due to the results of the 2010 census, which showed that the Prior Lake population didn’t boom as much as anticipated. In addition, the district is required to levy 5 percent more than what it did for debt service excess to cover people who do not pay their taxes. Because the district did not need the extra dollars, taxpayers will get that money back in the form of the lowered levy. “It’s a good thing that you have that,� Cink said. “It means people are paying their taxes.� While the school district portion of the bill will go down
for local taxpayers, it won’t be universal good news come April 15, due to changes in the state’s homestead market value credit program. Beginning with 2012 taxes, the homestead market value exclusion will replace the credit, essentially shifting taxes from state sources to local ones. Cink would not provide information on the impact of the district’s 2012 levy to the average-valued home, stating that “parcel-specific information is the only known way to determine the actual effect on property owners.� But she did say: “Even though our district did decrease its overall levy by 3 percent, some of our homeowners may not see that decrease because of this homeowner tax increase,� Cink said.
BUDGET APPROVAL The board also approved the district’s fi nal 2011-12 general fund budget, totaling $ 64.04 million, an increase of $1.2 million over the $62.84 million 2010-11 budget. The increase is due in part to an additional 40 students enrolled in the district and an increase of $50 per pupil unit in state aid, which came about earlier this year as a result of the Legislature’s compromise to end the state government shutdown. The other side of that coin is that state funding was shifted from 70/30 – meaning that the district received 70 percent of its annual allocated state aid with the other 30 percent held off until the future – to 60/40, which results in tightening the district’s cash flow. Dist rict 719 a lso t ripled funding from the state’s Al-
ternate Delivery of Special S e r v ic e s pr o g r a m , wh ich awards dollars to districts to help students who are not at grade level in math and reading. Last year, the district received $95,000 the program. This year, that fi gure leaped to $ 350,000, and Superintendent Sue Ann Gruver said the district is planning to expand the program and apply for the maximum amount of $500,000 for 2012-13. Salaries continue to be the largest part of the district’s expenditures, increasing to 60 percent from 59 percent of last year’s general fund costs. In second place, once again, are benefits, which also increased 1 percent from last year. In 2010, benefits were 22 percent of the general fund expenditures, and this year benefits account for 23 percent.
SCOTT COUNTY
Farmers, some homeowners feel tax-change squeeze BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com
The state deficit solution is fi nally hitting home. Greg Silus lives in a portion of New Market Township where property values have fared better than the rest of the county. His neighborhood’s reward: 20 percent property tax hikes “That equates to $1,000,� said Silus, whose assessed home value actually rose after decreasing in 2011. To soften the blow from eliminating the state’s homestead credit, legislators replaced the credit with a market value exclusion that shifts the increased property tax burden off lower- priced homes. Silus and his neighbors are footing
the bill. But farmers – whose ag land never benefitted from the homestead credit in the fi rst place – are hit the hardest. “We live in a $50,000 home and our taxes went up 38 percent,� said Jim Dubbe, a Sand Creek Township farmer whose land taxes have gone up by double digits on all five parcels (68 percent on one). “That’s $2,300 from last year to this year and we just can’t sustain that. It went up a lot last year.� The picture for several property owners who spoke at Scott Cou nty’s t r uth-in-ta xation hearing on Dec. 1 was bleak. County officials admitted they couldn’t lower the levy enough to make a large dent of difference for such residents due to
tax policy changes. They also said fluctuations in property values are causing huge swings in the dispersion of property taxes. The elimination of the homestead credit has raised property taxes across the state by an estimated $260 million. But County Commissioner Jon Ulrich hinted Tuesday, Dec. 6 that the County might be able to back away from its proposed 2012 tax levy increase of 0.9 percent. Kept flat in 2011, tax notices showed a slight increase in the 2012 County levy to cover mounting state-aid losses, as well to address maintenance issues put of f during tight budgets. “We’re not increasing our
levy to pay for operations,� said the county’s fi nance head, Kevin Ellsworth. The County is pressing for no employee raises in 2012. It also plans to eliminate 17 positions (through layoffs, early retirement and not fi lling vacancies), bringing staffi ng to the same level as 2002. Although these are smart staff reductions, the trimming is starting to put pressure on the organization, Ellsworth said, noting it’s become harder to retain certain employees, such as in internet technology and engineering positions, wit h cu r rent sa l a r y packages. Still, it appears the County’s budget team might come back next week with a revised bud-
get and 2012 levy. “Some very favorable unknowns are settled here in the County,� said Ulrich, likely referring to two-year labor contracts just reached with three unions, including the County’s largest. Scott County Employee Relations Director Jack Kemme said he couldn’t comment on the terms of the negotiated agreements, which are to be presented to the County Board next week. News of a projected state surplus of $876 million has also buoyed the County, which was hedging for another December unallotment. County Sheriff Kevin Studnicka has been asked to reduce his budget by $150,000. It has
already achieved an average savings of $ 340,000 the last three years despite taking on more responsibilities, he said. Local residents shared their cost-saving ideas with the Board. Da rcy Ru nning of P rior Lake urged the County to look at merging its park, fire and law enforcement administration with the cities. In Florida, the sheriffs run the ambulance and fi re services, he said. Dubbe suggested the County sell off parkland to reduce taxes. “ T he Cou nty has got ten rather crazy buying up private land for parks,� Dubbe said, adding that “agriculture surely isn’t using its share of what it pays for.�

These homeowners know their amps, volts, and LEDs — and how to really light it up Y
ou’re looking at some of the outstanding Christmas-light photographs that southwest-metro readers shared with this newspaper. No one appreciates these colorful displays more than us, after failing to unwind that giant, impossibly tangled ball of holiday lights that’s been collecting dust in the basement for most of this year. Anyone that can do what these homeowners have done deserves not just oohs and aahs, but whatever is at the top of their Christmas wish list. (That much-coveted four-pack of 3-amp light fuses, perhaps.) So, a tip of the hat to these intrepid decorators, especially from those of us who are electrically challenged. You have brightened our holiday, and maintained a tradition that would make light-bulb inventor Thomas Edison ohso-proud.

Wide open skating Local ice arenas offer ice time for skating enthusiasts of all ages BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com
W
ith the recent snowfall and turn in the weather you may be ready to bust out those ice skates for winter. One problem, most area cities have not flooded their outdoor rinks, meaning there’s nowhere to use those skates. That’s not true. Visit your local ice arena and participate in open skating. That’s what Julie Maines did with her 4-year-old son, John, at a recent open skating time at Shakopee Ice Arena. John, who is just learning to skate, was scooting around the ice enjoying his time while trying to put as many pucks in the net as he could. “Every time there is open skating, he wants to come,” Julie said. “He really loves it.” The indoor ice gives skaters like John Maines a chance to skate year round and, at this time of year, not worry whether it’s too cold out. It also gives them a chance to skate without much traffic. “We get anywhere from five to 15 people on a regular basis,” Shakopee Ice Arena Manager Josh Barrick said. “But it picks up this time of year because people are thinking winter and skating and sometimes it just gets too cold outside.” With 15 people on the ice that’s a lot of ice to skate around on whether you’re new to skating or have been skating for years. If you are a new skater or haven’t been on ice in years, the local arena is there to help you out. Most of the local arenas offer skate rental and even skate aids if needed. Skate rentals range from $2 to $5 depending what rink you attend. But if you prefer the cold air, outdoor skating will be available very soon. Most cities’ rinks should be flooded

More than 200 men have portrayed Sherlock Holmes in print, on stage, in film and on television the past 120 years.
IN PRINT The public’s first image of Sherlock, outside their own imaginations, came as illustrations accompanying Holmes’ creator Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories in London’s Strand magazine. These drawings were made by Sidney Paget. Between his first rendering in 1891 and his death in 1916, Paget published 540 drawings of Holmes. Paget was the first to depict Holmes in a deerstalker hat and Inverness cape. Nearly every artist since has followed his lead.
ON STAGE Among the many famous actors to portray Holmes are: Leonard Nimoy, known as Spock in television’s Star Trek series; Frank Langella, known for portraying movie villains, such as Count Dracula and Richard M. Nixon; and Charlton Heston, best remembered as Moses in the film “The Ten Commandments.” But first and foremost is William Gillette, who played Holmes more than 1,300 times between 1899 and 1930. Gillette introduced the familiar briar-stem pipe and, as a playwright, director and actor, is often credited with writing the famous “Elementary, My Dear Watson” line – which does not appear in any of Doyle’s stories.
IN FILM The first to portray Holmes on film, in a 1914 production of “A Study in Scarlet,” was James Bragington, chosen because he resembled the Holmes in Paget’s drawings. A bookkeeper by trade, it was his only film. The most prolific early Sherlockian film actor was Eille Norwood, who played the great detective in 47 films in the early 1920s. The black-and-white, silent films were less than 20 minutes long. The first Sherlockian actor whose voice was heard

on screen was Clive Brook, who appeared in three Holmes “talkies” between 1929 and 1932. The first actor to play Holmes in color, in a 1959 remake of “Hound of the Baskervilles,” was Peter Cushing. The most famous (and perhaps the most beloved) movie Sherlock of all time was Basil Rathbone. He became world famous by playing Holmes in 14 feature-length movies between 1939 and 1946. Since then, the list of noted actors playing Holmes includes George C. Scott, Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer, John Cleese, Nicol Williamson and now Robert Downey Jr.
ON TELEVISION Ronald Howard played Holmes in 39 episodes of a weekly TV series seen in America in the 1950s. Douglas Wilmer played Holmes on British television in the 1960s, as did Peter Cushing. Benedict Cumberbatch plays a 21stcentury Holmes in a new British TV series that you might be able to catch on PBS or DVD. Last but certainly not least, Jeremy Brett played a uniquely eccentric (and immensely popular) Holmes on Britain’s Granada Television network from 1984 through 1994. Eden Prairie resident Jeff Falkingham, whose two books have brought Sherlock Holmes to Minnesota, shares more interesting Sherlockian tidbits in his “Elementary, My Dear Watson: Investigating Sherlock Holmes” presentation at schools, libraries and historical societies across Minnesota and its neighboring states. For more information, visit Falkingham’s website at cccaper.com.

Former hockey coach gets 15 years’ probation on sex charge BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com
A B u r n s v i l le m a n who worked part-time at the Blake School in Hopkins as a girls’ hockey coach and was a former youth and varsity hockey coach in Prior Lake and Savage, was placed on 15 years of probation Monday for third-degree criminal sexual conduct after the judge ruled out jail time because the defendant might have only months to live. James Brent Vandusartz, 57, of Burnsville, pleaded guilty in September to third-degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony, in Dakota County District Court. At the sentencing Monday, Judge Richard Spicer said because Vandusartz is suffering from a malignant, inoperable brain tumor, it made no sense to place him in jail or home confi nement. The victim, who was not a student at Blake, was 16 to 18 years old when the crime
occurred. She reported the assault to Burnsville police the day after it happened. The girl told police Vandusartz was trying to contact her through emails and voice-mail messages, which police then obtained, according to the court complaint. Police arranged for a phone call between the girl and Vandusartz, the complaint said, during which the girl agreed to meet Vandusartz the next day. Police arrested him that morning. Vandusartz admitted to police that he had “sexual contact with the student” that happened in “the heat of the moment” in November 2010 at his home, according to the complaint. Spicer imposed a stayed sentence and released Vandusartz under several conditions. They include that he have no contact with girls under age 18 without prior authorization, he must follow his probation officer’s orders regarding access to places
known for sexual entertainment and/or promiscuous sexual activity, he must register as a predatory offender, and he must follow his probation officer’s orders with regard to computer use and Internet access. Vandusartz volunteered and worked as a girls’ and boys’ hockey coach at metro-area private schools. He was also a longtime youth goalie coach for boys and girls in the Prior Lake-Savage Hockey Association, and later was an assistant coach for the Prior Lake High School girls’ hockey team. He was dismissed from the high school team in 2006 when some players complained to school officials that he made suggestive remarks to them. A court hearing was delayed earlier this year at the request of Vandusartz, who underwent brain surgery. Vandusartz appeared in court Monday in a wheelchair. He was diagnosed in January 2011 and was given 15 months to live.
‘Man in Black’ may have hit again BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com
The FBI is investigating whether the “Man in Black” was responsible for the bank robbery at M&I Bank in St. Paul on Wednesday. The serial bank robber is suspected in 10 metro-area bank robberies in the last two months, including bank robberies in Prior Lake and Shakopee, “We are looking at the possibility that this could be the ‘M a n i n Bl ack,’” said F BI spokesperson Kyle Loven, “But we can’t make a 100 percent determination as of right now.” T he suspect description in Wednesday’s robbery is similar to the 10 others. He was wearing a black ski mask, dark shoes, black gloves, blue jeans, a grey winter hat and a brownish-green coat. He was described as a white man, 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall and appeared to be 30-40 years old. He also reportedly brandished a small, black handgun. According to the FBI, the man entered M&I Bank at 522 Snelling Ave. S., Saint Paul, at 3:15 p.m. and approached the teller with a handgun. He demanded money, and after receiving an undisclosed amount

daughter cooperated when her sister went to police again in the summer of 2010. Savage police and Scott County Human Services investigated the report of sexual abuse in 2003, but the older sister, mother and father denied the claims. According to the criminal complaint, the younger daughter said her father choked her and threw her against the wall in retaliation for filing the compliant. The investigation was reopened last summer, after the youngest daughter and her uncle ran into her father, whom she hadn’t spoken to in years. She was “visibly upset and was shaking uncontrollably” and told her uncle about the abuse, according to court documents. He accompanied her to the police department. As detectives looked into the allegations, the defendant’s sis-
of cash, he fled from the bank. The man got the nickname “Man in Black” because in most of the early robberies he wore all black, including a black, zipped-up hooded sweatshirt. However, in the Dec. 5 robbery of a U.S. Bank branch in Hopkins, the man wore a tan jacket, and in Wednesday’s robbery the suspect wore a brownish-green coat. After the Dec. 7 robbery of Premier Bank in Bloomington, in which the man is a suspect, FBI Special Agent in Charge Donald Oswald, in conjunction with the Minnesota Bankers Association, announced they were offering a reward of $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the “Man in Black.” Nearly identical descriptions were provided in the robberies of Prior Lake State Bank on Oct. 22, Paragon Bank in Shakopee on Nov. 1, First National Bank of the Lakes in Richfield on Nov. 4, both the Richfield Bloomington Credit Union in Blooming ton and Premier Bank of Albertville on Nov. 9, TCF Bank in Arden Hills, Bremer Bank in Minneapolis on Nov. 22, Central Bank in Minneapolis on Nov. 30, U.S. Bank in Hopkins on Dec. 5 and
Premier Bank in Bloomington on Dec. 7. In the Arden Hills robbery on Nov. 13, the man drove away in a cream-colored Mitsubishi Galant. In the Nov. 22 robbery of Bremer Bank in Minneapolis, the suspect drove off in a white 2005-2008 “crossoverstyle vehicle.” No getaway car has been identified in Wednesday’s robbery.

ter – now in her 40s – reported that she was sexually abused by the man as a teen in their Prior Lake home. The older daughter told detectives her father began having sex with her in seventh or eighth grade when she had a question from her sex education class and he told her he would teach her about sex. He would buy condoms, sex toys and lingerie for her, which he kept in her bedroom. His philosophy was “if she took care of [her father], he would take care of her,” she told police, which meant she had to have sex to get the things she wanted or needed. The younger daughter said she was required to perform sexual favors for her father in return for being driven places. He would tell her, “Nothing is for free.” The defendant decided to forgo a jury trial and pleaded guilty to two felony counts: second-degree criminal sexual conduct for multiple acts with a minor under 16
and first-degree criminal sexual conduct for multiple acts with a minor under 13. Scott County District Court Judge Jerome Abrams sentenced him to consecutive 12year and 90-month prison sentences, with credit for 508 days already served in jail. Seven other counts of criminal sexual conduct and one count of incest were dismissed. With good behavior in prison, the man will be placed on conditional release after serving two-thirds of his sentence, which could mean he will serve 13 years in prison. Editor’s note: The Savage Pacer made a rare exception in this story by not revealing the name of the defendant to protect the identity of the victims. Normally, the newspaper leaves out a considerable amount of detail to protect sex-abuse victims and names the defendant. However, in this case, because the facts are so egregious, we thought readers would be better served knowing what happened to the victims.

Youth movement Blaze drops first dual; three state qualifiers return this year BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com
The Burnsville boys swimming team is definitely in a youth movement. The Blaze returns three swimmers who competed in the Class AA state meet last year – senior Justin Clem and juniors Charlie Kollasch and Ben Albert. But most of the roster is stacked with sophomores or younger, 18 to be exact. The Blaze opened its season Dec. 9 with a South Suburban Conference dual meet at home versus Prior Lake. The Blaze won just three events in a 101-55 loss to the Lakers.

Burnsville coach Andrew Michelson is entering his second year as coach and he’s only two years removed from his college swimming days at Gustavus Adolphus College, graduating in 2010. Meanwhi le, against P rior Lake, Kollasch won two events, the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 5 minutes, 5.90
seconds and the 200 freestyle (1:54.26). Kollasch qualified for state last year in the 100 backstroke, fi nishing 11th. Albert had the Blaze’s other win versus Prior Lake, taking the top spot in the 100 butterfly (56.90). Albert competed in two state events last year, the 200 individual medley (18th) and the 100 breaststroke (15th). Clem, Albert and Kollasch were also three-fourths of the Blaze’s 200 medley relay at state a year ago that fi nished 14th. The three, along with junior Shawn Wong, teamed up against Prior Lake and took second (1:44.59).
Albert was also second in the 200 individual medley (2:03.22), while Clem was runner-up in the 50 freestyle (24.41) and third in the 100 butterfly (1:01.20). Senior Peter Hsu was second in the 100 breaststroke (1:0971), while Wong ended up third (1:09.84).

The Prior Lake gymnastics team was even more shorthanded for its annual invite Dec. 10 than it was for its season opener two days prior. The Lakers took seventh out of eight teams with a score of 123.5, competing without the likes of seniors Sydney Notermann and Morgan Sturm, junior Bridgette Smith and sophomore Tiffany Harsted. Meanwhile, promising seventh-grader Kailey Dobransky sprained her ankle and missed the fi nal two events, the balance beam and floor exercise. “For being dow n a fu l l varsity lineup, I think we did pretty well,” said Lakers coach Barb Kass. “We had a couple of girls competing for the fi rst time ever, including Jessie Dalbec and Rebecca Landro, and a few girls were only on their second meet.” Prior Lake went into the invite losing to Mankato West in its season opener Dec. 8, scoring 120.65, while Scarlets had 123.75. Notermann, a state qualifier on the beam in 2010, and Smith missed that competition as well. The good news is that Kass expects all of her gymnasts back in the lineup Tuesday, Dec. 20 when the Lakers open the South Suburban Conference season at home to Rosemount at 6 p.m. It’s also the last meet for Lakers in 2011. They’ll return to action in the New Prague Invitational Jan. 7. At the Prior Lake invite, ninth-grader Angela Noer led the Lakers in the all-around finishing seventh with a score of 33.35.

A little off key Blazettes fifth at rival’s invite
Blaze rolls 8-1 in league opener BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com
The Burnsville boys hockey team put on a show in the South Suburban Conference (SSC) Showcase Dec. 10. Two days prior, the Blaze dominated Benilde-St. Magaret’s, ranked No. 2 at the time, in a 5-1 home win. Bu r n svi l le ( 3 -1 overa l l) climbed to No. 5 in the latest Class AA poll, while the Knights dropped to No. 6. Coach Janne Kivhalme, in his sixth year with the Blaze, has always taken a pretty evenkeel approach. He doesn’t put too much too stock into early season wins, nor does he with losses. “Our goal is to keep getting better and to be playing our best hockey at the end of the year,” said Kivihalme. Meanwhile, all 10 SSC teams were in action at the showcase – five straight contests at Dakotah Arena in Prior Lake. The Blaze won its third straight game with an easy 8-1 win over Rosemount. Burnsville led 7-0 after two periods of play and took an 8-0 lead senior Kyle Kauth’s goal midway through the fi nal period, his second of the game. Junior Nic Anderson lost the shutout late, allowing an Irish goal with 6:41 left to play. He fi nished with 17 saves.
Burnsville had 47 shots on net. Sophomore Tyler Sheehy also had two goals, while senior Tanner Barnes fi nished with three assists. Seniors Jake Maxson, Nick Senta, Cor y Chapman and Hunter Anderson each had one goal. Chapman and senior Mason Wyman had two assists, while Anderson and senior Matt Benolkin both had one. Burnsville scored two goals in the first 3:24 of the game and never looked back leading 3-0 after one period. The Blaze opened up a 5-0 lead with a pair of goals 5:24 into the second period. Against Benilde, the Blaze scored five unanswered goals, getting a goal and four assists from Anderson. Burnsville gave up a powerplay goal to Benilde in the fi rst period. But junior goalie Chris M a l lon sl a m me d t he do or from there, fi nishing with 29 saves. The Blaze scored three goals in a 7:15 span in the second period to seize control of the game. Chapman scored on the power play to tie the game at 1-1. Wyman followed with backto-back goals 3:58 apart. His fi rst was on the power and play and his second one came with 44 seconds left in the second period.

Crist had a second-period goal for the Lakers, his second on the year, to give the team a 2-1 lead heading into the fi nal period. Sophomore Connor Bump got the assist. Junior Austin Hill scored in the fi rst period for Prior Lake (his fi rst) with senior Thomas Vidmar assisting.
T he Bu r nsvi l le da nce team has beaten the defending Class 3A state champs twice at a pair of South Suburban Conference high kick/ precision meets. But in two invites, the Blazetttes haven’t been able to match its rival. Eastview won its own high-kick invite Dec. 10, while Burnsville fi nished a distant fi fth. Eden Prairie was third, followed by Maple Grove and Apple Valley. Eastview also took first in high kick at the Chaska Invitational Dec. 3 with the Blazettes taking second. Burnsville and Eastview are meeting again today (Saturday, Dec. 17) in the conference championships in Eagan. Following the championships, the Blazettes will be off until Jan. 21 when they compete in the Wayzata Invitational.

Solid between the pipes Miller makes 68 saves for PL in back-to-back wins BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com
The Prior Lake boys hockey team got some outstanding goaltending and some overtime heroics to win its second straight game. Senior Tim Mueller scored with 33 seconds left in the extra session to lift the Lakers to a 3-2 home win over Wayzata Dec. 13 in a non-conference game. Senior goalie Kyle Miller was brilliant between the pipes with 38 saves, including 15 in the fi rst period. Prior Lake led 1-0 and 2-1, but Wayzata was
able to tie the game on a powerplay goal with 5:20 left in the third period. The Lakers went into the game on the heels of a 4-2 home win over Lakeville North Dec. 10 in a South Suburban Conference game where Miller fi nished with 30 saves. Lakers coach Joe Pankratz has seen the maturation of Miller in his third year as coach. Miller had an outstanding season last year with 14 games of 30-plus saves. “Kyle has made a lot of improvements,” said Pankratz. “We expect big things from

Burnsville has scored nine goals in its last two games, including a 4-4 tie at Eastview Dec. 13 and a 5-5 tie at Rosemount Dec. 10. If you believe in the law of averages, it’s only a matter of time before the puck starts to bounce the Blaze’s way. Burnsville (0-6-3 overall) has outshot its last five opponents. It’s had 40 shots on net in the last two games and 30 -plus shots in three games before that.

Girls hockey: Lakers blanked twice The Prior Lake girls hockey team was shutout for a second straight game Dec. 13 and for the fi fth time this season. The lack of goals – 10 in just 10 games – has led to a 1-8-1 start. Prior Lake’s latest loss is a 3-0 setback at home to Apple Valley in a South Suburban Conference game. Not only have the Lakers struggled to score goals, but the team has struggled to get shots on net. Prior Lake had just four in a 6-0 loss at Lakeville North Dec. 10. It put 13 on net versus Apple Valley. Sophomore Lexi Brandt made the start in goal and had 22 saves versus Apple Valley. She had 38 stops against Lakeville North.

The Prior Lake wrestling team was able to win two of three matches at its annual Ron Edwards Classic Dec. 10, despite not having its complete arsenal intact. The No. 11-ranked Lakers are dealing with some early season injuries, but coach Joe Block said the team is pushing through. “We have had a ton of injures and not just in the upper weights, but all around,” said Block. “ T he team is doi ng well, working hard in practice and really wants to get better. “Once we get everyone back, we’ll be in good shape,” added Block, whose team is looking to defend its Section 2AAA title.

Blaze boys off to 0-2 start, girls are 1-1
PL boys drop from rankings after loss, girls own 1-3 mark

The Prior Lake boys basketball team lost its No. 10 state ranking following a 63-60 loss on the road to Class 3A Waconia Dec. 13. T he L a kers had n’t been ranked since becoming a Class 4A program back in 2003. Prior Lake (1-2 overall) went into the Waconia game on the heels of a 70-67 overtime loss to No. 3 Osseo in the Breakdown Tip-Off Classic in Minnetonka Dec. 10. That loss generated some buzz on just how good the Lakers can be. However, the Waconia setback reminded Prior Lake that you can’t take anything and anyone for granted. “We need to keep our heads up, stay positive and stay together,” second-year Lakers coach Alex Focke tweeted after the Waconia loss. “Nothing good comes easy. We need to earn everything.” Prior Lake received another big test Friday (results not available at press time) at No. 4 Eden Prairie, last year’s Class 4A runner-up and a Section 2AAAA foe. The Lakers return home Thursday, Dec. 22 to take on New Prague in a non-league game at 7:30 p.m. I n t he lo s s t o Wac on i a (ranked No. 6 in Class 3A), sophomore Jon Sobaski and senior Jack Harrison each fi nished with 14 points, while senior Jack Kaiser had 13. Junior center Carson Shanks fi nished with 12. Against Osseo, the Lakers proved just how dangerous a team they can be by nearly upsetting a squad many believe is one of the state’s elite. Prior

The Burnsville boys basketball team is off to a tough start averaging just 40.5 points in its fi rst two games. The Blaze has also faced the two teams that were in last year’s Class 4A title game – No. 1-ranked Hopkins and No. 4 Eden Prairie – so it’s not a big surprise the inexperienced Blaze has struggled. It’s been baptism by fire. Burnsville has pretty much an all new roster from last year’s 12-win team with only one starter back, senior forward Chase Roullier. Meanwhile, Eden Prairie outscored the Blaze 41-18 in the second half Dec. 13 en route to a 72-35 road win. Burnsville’s first game was a 94-46 loss to Hopkins Dec. 6. In the loss to Eden Prairie, the Blaze had just one player in double fi gures. Sophomore Zach Smith finished with 14 points. Senior Ryan Swanson fi nished with nine. Six players – seniors AJ Coleman, Zach Maxon Bryan Heard and juniors Corey Maxon and Adam Saba and sophomore Ben Nienow – each had two points. The Blaze was on the road Friday (results not available at press time) at Chaska in a nonconference game. The Blaze will play at Henry Sibley Dec. 20 in a non-league game at 7 p.m.

The Blaze went into the game coming off a 30-point home loss (65-35) to No. 6 Wayzata. Burnsville had four players in double figures led by senior Jessica Ranke’s 17 points, while sophomore Georgi Donchetz fi nished with a career-high 16. The Blaze and Maranatha were tied 29-29 at the break. Senior Lateeka Thompson and sophomore Sam Connolly each fi nished with 10 points, while junior Megan Threlkeld had six and senior Jessica Buck had four.

The Blaze returns home Tuesday, Dec. 20 to take on Lakeville South in a league game at 7:15 p.m. Burnsville will play host to Holy Angels Thursday, Dec. 22 in a non-league game at 7:15 p.m.
Lake let a 49-40 lead get away in the fi nal six minutes. Remember, Prior Lake won just six games last season and three the previous year. Focke tweeted after the Osseo game: “Learned a lot about our team. I was very proud of the way we battled. I love coaching these guys.” Sobaski had a chance to send the game into a second overtime, but his three-pointer at the buzzer was off the mark. He fi nished with 19 points. Seniors Matt Dysthe and Harrison each had 14 points. Dysthe hit a pair of threes in the fi rst half as the Lakers led 31-27 at the break. The game was also a battle of two promising big men inside – Prior Lake’s 6-foot-10inch Shanks and Osseo’s 6-9 Ian Theisen. Both sort of neutralized each other. Shanks fi nished with six points, while Theisen had seven. Senior Evan Kotchevar and Kaiser each finished with five points for the Lakers, while senior Will Mcphearson had four.
LAKER GIRLS The Prior Lake girls basketball team headed into the South Suburban Conference season on back-to-back defeats.

Home for the Holidays is often an eye opener for adult children As the holidays approach many of us are making plans to celebrate with those we love. For many, the holidays are a time to visit and reconnect with family we may not see throughout the year. For many, going “home for the holidays” is an event that is anticipated all year long. Adult children return home expecting to taste Grandma’s homemade cookies or to experience Mom and Dad’s beautifully decorated home. For some adult children their visit home may yield some surprises. They discover Grandma’s refrigerator is empty, except for a few items that expired a month ago, and she has not made her homemade cookies. She has also lost a great deal of weight. You ¿nd Mom and Dad’s home ¿lled with clutter, piles of old newspapers and a month’s worth of unopened mail. Suddenly your holiday season takes on a whole new meaning and brings with it questions and concerns. How did this happen? Are they safe living on their own? Should they continue to drive? Is she safe using the stove? Will he remember to bathe? Can they maintain their house? Will they remember to take their medications? As Americans age, some will face problems with their cognition or thinking. Cognition involves a number of skills, including memory, orientation, judgment, problem recognition/solving, decision-making, attention, sequencing, and frustration tolerance. “Often problems in these areas are not noticed by family until a crisis arises such as a fall or a hospitalization” states Theresa Klein, Occupational Therapist and Dementia Consultant for Augustana Emerald Crest Assisted Living. Often an aging relative may notice problems or changes in themselves but do not want their family members to know. Suddenly adult children are forced to make decisions about their loved one’s ¿nances, health, safety, and appropriateness of the current living
environment. When a family is faced with these questions they often feel overwhelmed, alone, and unsure of available resources. Families are often reluctant to “pry”. They do not want to “offend” their loved one by suggesting they need assistance. So, they take notice of the situation and continue to check-in and evaluate. “I see families that leave it to fate. Mother or father are left at home until something drastic happens which forces an immediate decision”, states Christine Drasher, Director of Admissions Augustana Emerald Crest. Other families will make their best guess and hope the level of assistance put in place is adequate. “It does not have to be a guessing game. Families don’t have to wait for a crisis to make a decision. There are signs and “red Àags” that can be recognized
to be able to make the right choice,” states Theresa Klein. One resource that can be assist families in identifying “red Àags” is an Occupational Therapist. By engaging individuals in several predetermined activities the therapist is able to make an assessment of the individual’s cognition, identifying the individual’s current abilities as well as existing de¿cits. Once determined, the therapist can interpret the meaning of the results to the family and caregivers providing them with strategies for care, ideas how they can intervene, i.e. how to compensate for the skills their loved one no longer has, and offers recommendations for appropriate level of supervision to assure safety” states Klein. Klein observes that with information provided by the Occupational Therapists, “families often report an
increased sense of con¿dence and feel more equipped to Home for the Holidays is often an eye opener for adult children make informed decisions regarding the health and safety of their loved ones.” “The holidays are a huge eye opener for many adult children,” comments Drasher. “Our phone is the busiest in January after adult children recognize from their visit that their loved one is declining. If families knew there was a way to predict and get accurate strategies to meet their frail loved one’s needs I believe they would feel more con¿dent in their decisions and avoid crisis.” If you are interested in learning more about Dementia Resources or Augustana Emerald Crest call Christine at 952-9082215.

Distinctive Destinations Looking for an exotic travel adventure, or at least an uncommon vacation destination? Here are five top picks for 2011 from Stacey Wittig, who writes the travel blog Vagabonding Lulu.
Five hot tipss for cool tripss Story and photos by Stacey Wittig
Tanzania: Safari; Zanzibar: Beach Holiday Experience the wonders of Africa’s wildlife by hot-air balloon. Get an up-close view of wildebeest herds pushing across the Serengeti, zebras zigzagging through endless grasses and elephants bathing in wadis. Go wild on a walking or vehicle safari and then sleep tight in your deluxe safari tent. After witnessing the largest mass movement of mammals on the planet (say that five times), fly to Zanzibar, Tanzania’s “Spice Island” (see photo, page 10). Here on the Indian Ocean’s white sands, cultures have collided for centuries. Stay in exotic Stone Town where Arab harems danced for sultans, Indian spice merchants left splendid architecture and Dr. Livingstone (I presume) began his last journey into the Swahili mainland. Or stay at a beach resort for some of the world’s best scuba diving. www.adventuresinafrica.com.
Hike Peru’s Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
High Living Li Along Peru’s Ancient Pathways Adventure travelers love the trek to Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas,” for its blend of action, rugged beauty and lavish pampering. What do you call a four-day backpacking trip where l polite porters carry your pa pack, learned chefs prepare exotic local foods, and hot wine is served at an fee above sea level? Vagabonding Lulu calls it “Gucci Camping.” alpine viewpoint 11,742 feet

Super Mercado burglaries BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com
A St. Paul man with a history of burglary and theft convictions has been charged with burglarizing the Super Mercado in Savage twice in November. Nicholas Alphonzo Harris, 49, has been charged with two counts of third-degree burglary. According to the formal complaint, Savage police officers were dispatched to Super Mercado, 4207 Highway 13, on Nov. 14 for a report of a burglary. There were no signs of forced entry, but a cash register drawer was lying on the floor and a computer monitor had been knocked over. Surveillance video showed that at 6:03 a.m., a vehicle that appeared to be a silver, early1990s Cadillac Deville pulled into the parking lot. Three men got out and began looking into the doors of the store, and eventually entered through the east front door and headed to the front counter area of the store. The video shows the men taking a cash box from under the counter and looking through
the till cash box. The till cash box was left on the floor and the men f led with the first cashbox. T h e s t o r e ’s owner said the cash box that was taken conNicholas tained $3,000. Alphonzo At one point Harris during the burglary, one of the men, who was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and smoking a cigarette, exposed his face to the camera. A Richfield police detective recognized the man as Harris, as the detective had investigated Harris for several business burglaries in 2009. On Nov. 17, Brooklyn Park police said that Ciento’s Tequila Bar was burglarized, and still photographs from that incident showed a suspect that appeared to be Harris. Savage police were called back to Super Mercado on Nov. 21 for another report of a burglary. The surveillance video in that case showed a man go to the front counter where the cash
box containing $3,000 was previously located, disconnect two cash tills from their monitors then leave the store with both tills. Still photos of the suspect in that case appeared to be a match for Harris. On Nov. 28, Brooklyn Park police announced that they had arrested three suspects during a burglary at an Oriental market, and one of the suspects was Harris. Harris had fled from the scene of that crime in a white, 1992 Lincoln Town Car, and was eventually apprehended by police. The complaint says that the vehicle matches the description of the vehicle used in the Nov. 14 Super Mercado burglary. Harris was also wearing a blue hooded jacket when he was arrested. Savage police compared Harris’ booking photo from Brooklyn Park with the still photos of the suspect from the Super Mercado burglaries and determined it was a match. Harris was convicted of thirddegree burglary in 1998, felony theft on two separate occasions in 2001, possession of burglary tools in 2010 and third-degree burglary also in 2010.
Savage man accused of stalking woman BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com
A man from Savage who is already facing charges of assaulting and fi nancially taking advantage of a vulnerable woman from Prior Lake has now been charged with stalking her. Jay Allen Stier, 31, has been charged with g ross misde meanor stalking, as well as violating an order for protection and a domestic abuse no contact order. Stier is already facing a felony domestic assault by strangulation charge in relation to an April incident i nvolvi ng t he woma n, t wo counts of misdemeanor domestic assault stemming from a November incident and two counts of financially exploiting
a vulnerable adult. According to the complaint, a Prior L a ke p ol ic e detective was made aware of ongoing contact between Stier and the Jay Allen woma n, de Stier spite c ou r t orders directing Stier not to contact her. The detective subpoenaed Stier’s phone records and found that between Sept. 2, when Stier was released from Scott County Jail, and Sept. 20, Stier had called or texted the woman 2,261 times. Stier and the woman had been in a long-term relationship prior to Stier’s legal trou-
bles, the complaint said. The woman suffered a brain injury in a 2000 car crash and has borderline receptive and expressive language skills. She also has difficulty with learning, memory and executive functions, according to the complaints against Stier. In the fi nancial exploitation case, Stier is accused of convincing the woman to co-sign a loan for his new truck and to trade in her own vehicle to help him pay for it, among other accusations. Stier’s fi rst appearance on the stalking charge is scheduled for Jan. 20, 2012. Stier has omnibus hearings scheduled for Jan. 5 in relation to November’s domestic assault charges as well as the financial exploitation charges.
