Dr. Jim Haemmerle will ride Donate Life America’s “One More Day” float at the 123rd Annual Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 2. Haemmerle was invited to ride the float because of an anonymous kidney donation he made in February 2010.

r. Jim Haemmerle of Savage has made a living out of improving people’s lives through his work in the operating room. But perhaps the biggest impact he’s made was when he was on the operating table himself.

Haemmerle, an orthopedic surgeon at the Mayo Clinic’s branch in Menomonie, Wis., since 1978, donated a kidney to a stranger from rural Minnesota in February 2010. As a result, Haemmerle has been invited to ride Donate Life

America’s f loat during the 123rd Annual Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 2.

Donate Life America is a not-forprofit alliance of national and state organizations across the United States committed to increasing organ, eye and tissue donation. Each year, the group designs a float with a new theme to be displayed in the parade, and the theme of this year’s float is “One More Day.”

GREEN CHRISTMAS

Employee of the Year: ‘No one shines alone’ Assistant liquor director known for her dedication

BY AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com

Even after a short conversation with Deb Way, it’s pretty clear that she’s a people person. Her stellar customer service skills could be a side effect of more than three decades in the retail business, but more likely it’s her caring personality that’s made her a welcoming and well-known fixture in the community.

For 35 years, Way has served Savage with a kind heart, a compassionate ear and a way of welcoming customers as if they were visiting her home rather than a municipal liquor store. But she’s no softie. She’s stubbornly dedicated to her position as assistant liquor director for the city of Savage.

And that dedication was what prompted City Administrator Barry Stock to name Way the 2011 City Employee of the Year during a yearend lunch, which was attended by more than 75 employees.

Way was tongue-tied as her colleagues endorsed the announcement with applause. “I was speechless, which is rare for me,” said Way. Stock said Way’s commitment to work, friends and family helped him choose her as employee of the year.

“She has truly been dedicated to the City and her family in more ways than we have time to discuss,” Stock said.

Way started her career as a waitress at the Dan Patch Lounge, which was located downtown where the town square parking lot is today.

She’s since logged countless hours at each City-owned liquor store, including Dan Patch, Marketplace and the former Sunset Liquor off of County Road 42.

According to her boss, Liquor Operations Director Pete Matthies,

Deb Way has worked for the city of Savage for 35 years and will retire in April. even when Way isn’t working, she’s working. He said she often takes home paperwork she doesn’t get to during the day, and she doesn’t hesitate to respond if a store alarm sounds in the middle of the night.

“Whether it’s working a shift over a holiday or assisting family members by making many personal self sacrifices, she is always there,” said Stock. “She is one of the most unselfish people I know.”

Way points to her coworkers as being a source of support for her.

“I’ve had the opportunity to work with such wonderful people. No one shines alone,” said Way. Way plans to retire this April and will spend three weeks in Mazatlan.

She has lived in Savage since 1985, has a daughter named Heather and two grandsons named Luke and Noah.

SCOTT COUNTY BOARD

2012 levy frozen, but many to see tax hikes

Last year at this time, Jon Berg of Savage was digging himself out of five feet of snow. This year, on a sunny Sunday a week before Christmas, he practices his swing and his five-foot putt at Mississippi Dunes in Cottage Grove. “Is it so bad to have a green Christmas when you’re a golfer?” asked Berg.

A favorable labor contract with Scott County’s largest union enabled County Commissioners last Tuesday to freeze the County’s property tax levy for 2012; however, this move won’t spare some businesses and farmers from eye-popping tax increases due to state changes.

County Commissioner Dave Menden of Shakopee heard from one commercial property owner whose taxes are set to go up $11,000 and another whose taxes will rise by $5,500.

“They are such hard-working people and good people,” Menden

said. “We try to get these small businesses to hire people. To me it’s a joke, we keep nailing them. It’s not necessarily us, but a lot of what the state did.”

In addition to approving a flat 2012 levy of $60.5 million, the County on Dec. 20 ratified two-year labor contracts with three of its nine unions.

A g reements were reached wit h AFSCME (the largest), 49ers and correctional staff, which along with nonbargaining staff make up 86 percent of the County’s labor force.

Goodbye hedge? Fence may be in future for women’s prison New state plan has college-campus look

“We feel the community is safe now, but it’s still a prison. We’re worried about the safety of offenders and staff.”

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

John Schadl

A fence with barbed wire encircles the water tower on 10th Avenue West in Shakopee.

A plain chain-link fence lines the Catholic cemetery. But five years after local opposition to a fence at the women’s prison made for national comedy on “The Daily Show,” the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Shakopee continues to be protected by a hedge.

The prison is located in the northeast corner of 10 th Avenue South and Adams Street, and across from Sweeney Elementary School.

“The water tower is more secure than the prison,” said John Schadl, a spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Corrections.

The prison’s 2006 request for a fence failed to receive funding after drawing opposition from neighborhood residents and some Shakopee City Council members. Without community support, later bonding proposals gained little traction at the Legislature.

With new faces on the City Council and the 2012 legislative bonding season fast approaching, the DOC appears to be putting its full weight toward securing $5.4 million in state funding next year for a 12-foot perimeter fence.

Shakopee Mayor-elect Brad Tabke was briefed during a recent tour of the correctional facility. And state Sen. Claire Robling, R-Jordan, who supports the fence project, was also updated on the prison’s latest proposal, which calls for one fence instead of the two from an earlier plan.

A community advisory panel will meet next week ahead of a neighborhood meeting scheduled from 1 to 2 p.m. Jan. 12 on the proposal.

Prison officials say a proposed fence at the women’s prison in Shakopee would mirror those at college campuses. The fence pictured is similar to the design envisioned. lation, corrections officials believe the time is long past for a fence.

“We feel the community is safe now, but it’s still a prison,” said Schadl.

And they say the fence is just as much about protecting the outside public as it is protecting inmates from old boyfriends or associates.

T here’s not hi ng to stop someone from walking onto the prison grounds, which looks like a college campus, or tossing contraband into a bush or near a building (which has happened). Each day, the prisoners leave their living quarters and walk outside to enter the dining facility, Tabke was told.

“We’re worried about the safety of offenders and staff,” Schadl said.

The proposed fence has brick columns with wrought ironlike bars that curve at the top.

It is supposed to match the prison’s college campus-look.

A previous plan had two fences, sepa rated by op en space, with the inner fence constructed of chain link and wired so anyone trying to climb

it would set off an elaborate alarm system.

In addition to a fence, the prison is seeking funding to expand its intake and segregation areas through internal renovation.

If he lived in the neighborhood, Schadl said he would be concerned about how the

fence would look. However, Schadl said the fence, similar to one surrounding St. Catherine University in St. Paul, is nothing extreme, with no barbed wire. It’s his contention that “good fences make good neighbors.”

The department, he said, intends to stick to the deal it

struck with Shakopee when the current facility was built in 1986: to keep the prison in context with the surrounding community. (The prison dates back to 1919 in Shakopee.)

However, some neighbors believe the very proposal for a fence shows the prison is housing an inmate population that violates that deal.

“They assured us – don’t worry, it won’t be dangerous people,” said neighbor Scott Duffney. “They’ve kind of been cheating on that.”

The arguments prison officials gave soon-to-be-Mayor Tabke about the need for a fence made sense, he said.

However, he still wants to hear what neighbors have to say.

“If the opposition is purely aesthetic, I think the DOC did a good job of addressing that,” said Tabke, who has heard from some residents already due to his online postings. “If there are other issues, I need to understand them.”

Duffney is open to learning more about the prison’s rationale for a fence. However,

“Maybe now is the time to say we have to segregate and put the worst offenders in a more secure environment [outside of Shakopee],” he said.

Tabke said the prison is currently required to expel any prisoner who talks about escaping, due to the lack of a fence. These inmates are sent to another prison outside of Minnesota since no other state prisons take women.

A Bloomington man suspected in several metro-area robberies was arrested Tuesday morning for robbing an employee at the Mediacom office in Savage on Dec. 22.

Tony Antoinne Benjamin, 34, has been charged with fi rstdegree aggravated robbery. He is also suspected in the robbery of a woman in the Southdale mall parking lot on Dec. 6, according to Edina police. Savage Police Capt. Dave Muelken said the department is working with other law enforcement agencies on the case.

According to the formal complaint, a man entered the Mediacom office at 14309 Huntington Ave. just before 5 p.m. on Dec. 22 and quickly got behind the counter. He allegedly told the lone employee in the store that it was a robbery and “if she wanted to live then she better stay there.�

The woman said the suspect pushed her to the ground and pointed a small, black handgun at her side. He allegedly took cash from a till, took the woman’s purse and cell phone,

then left the store.

The woman said the suspect was wearing all black clothes with black gloves a nd a bl ack stocking hat, and that he fled Tony Antoinne the business in Benjamin a brown or tan Honda passenger car.

A Savage police officer was able to trace the location of the woman’s cell phone to the area of county roads 42 and 5 in Burnsville. The officer went to that location, and while there he received a call from the woman who said she was notified that her debit card had just been used at a SuperAmerica in Burnsville.

The officer went to the store and learned that a charge of $48.29 was made on a gas pump at 5: 02 p.m., which was the amount that was charged on the woman’s card. The officer then found the woman’s purse and its contents in the store’s Dumpster. The officer also obtained a surveillance video from the store.

On Dec. 26, Bloomington police informed the Savage Police Department that Benjamin was a suspect in a separate robbery in Bloomington. Savage police then provided a six-photograph lineup to the woman from Mediacom, who picked out Benjamin’s photograph and said he was “defi nitely the person who came into Mediacom and robbed her,� according to the complaint.

On Dec. 27, a detective from the Savage Police Department asked Bloomington police to arrest Benjamin for fi rst-degree aggravated robbery and have him transported to Savage. A search of Benjamin’s Bloomington residence also turned up a black hooded sweatshirt, a black jacket, black pants and a black stocking hat.

After his arrest, Benjamin agreed to speak with the detective and denied committing the robbery.

Benjamin was convicted in 1996 on six counts of fi rstdegree aggravated robbery in Hennepin County District Court and received a 13-year sentence. He is being held in Scott County Jail and his bail is set at $500,000.

He also said that Gallahar’s medical issues would make him a low risk to re-offend.

According to McDonald, Gallahar is confi ned to a wheelchair, requires an oxygen tank to breathe and suffers from congestive heart disease and diabetes. McDonald also said Gallahar underwent an evaluation that identified him as being a low-risk to re-offend.

McDonald said that at Gallahar’s sentencing, Lennon also cited Gallahar’s age, medical conditions and lack of criminal history, as well as the fact that Gallahar waived his right to face his accusers which kept the girls from having to testify, as reasons for issuing a stayed sentence.

McDonald said that Lennon said she recognized the seriousness of Gallhar’s crimes, but that she could not ignore Gallahar’s age and medical conditions, as well as other mitigating factors.

McDonald said that at the sentencing, Gallahar stated that he knew that his actions “contributed to the distress of the children,� that he was “very upset that these incidents happened,� and that he “takes responsibility for the parts he played,� but he did not directly admit to any criminal acts.

Had Gallahar been required to serve time in prison, he would have been one of the oldest inmates in Minnesota.

According to McDonald, of the 9.000-plus inmates in Minnesota prisons, only two are age 80 or older. Gallahar will turn 80 next September. “He wou ld have been in pretty select company,� said McDonald.

A review hearing for the case is scheduled for June 7, 2012.

GUEST EDITORIAL

TV characters represent progress in smoking cessation efforts PAT MCKONE

Americans love to revisit history, whether it is inside the doors of a museum, on the pages of a history book, or on television. This includes the millions of us who love watching Enoch “Nucky” Thompson on Boardwalk Empire, which is set during Prohibition, as well as Mad Men’s Don Draper and his coworkers at Sterling Cooper Advertising in the 1960s.

Comparing their lifestyles to today’s norms is just as interesting as analyzing the characters themselves.

For instance, the United States has spent decades trying to get people to stop smoking and, more recently, protecting people from secondhand smoke exposure.

Slowly but surely, smoking has become less acceptable. Today’s norm is that smoking is not allowed in public places like workplaces, restaurants, bars and many outdoor spaces. It’s hard for most of us to imagine working in an office while someone next to us chain-smokes like Mad Men’s Don Draper.

As much as I dislike seeing people smoke on TV, these period shows remind us how far we’ve come.

When Minnesota began taking steps to clear the air of tobacco smoke, it was hard to find a location that was off limits to smoking. Even hospitals allowed it. Imagine babies taking their first breaths, only to con-

sume their inaugural dose of secondhand smoke. Imagine getting on an airplane and having smokers light up shortly after take-off. Unthinkable!

An estimated 42 percent of Americans were regular smokers in the 1960s, and not many of them were trying to quit. Today roughly 20 percent of American adults smoke and nearly 40 percent of them try to quit every year.

Four years ago, the state of Minnesota passed the Freedom to Breathe Act, which restricts smoking in nearly all enclosed public places.

Minnesota was the 17th state to enact such a law, and 10 more states have since joined the list of smoke-free states. That means more than half of U.S. states now protect their residents and workers with smoke-free policies.

It now takes HBO and AMC to remind us that this dangerous behavior used to be the social norm.

We can be proud of how far we’ve come over the last 50 years. We can also set goals to further reduce – or eliminate – smoking over the next 50 years. After all, lung cancer is still the leading cancer killer in the United States for both men and women.

As we are reminded of how widely accepted smoking was during our nation’s history, let’s not forget to keep working together to reduce the harm caused by tobacco.

Strumming along, happy to be fleeced Happy New Year! To those of you who, as a conversation starter, will ask, “Was Santa good to you?” I can honestly say yes, I received some very nice gifts, including a Columbia fleece to keep me warm when winter fi nally arrives in 2012.

And as is my habit, I prepurchased some things for myself in anticipation of the Christmas giving season – because after all, it is better to give than to receive (and I knew I wouldn’t get everything on my list). One of the gifts I gave myself caused questions and confusion.

“A banjo? You bought a banjo?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?” “I thought it might be kind of fun to play.”

“Is this going be like the drums, harmonica and violin?”

(Those items were purchased to support pursuits that never really took off).

“No, this is different.”

“You sure have a lot of interests.”

It’s true I do have many interests, and this New Year is no exception. In 2012 I have three things I want to accomplish: further my education, take the mystery out of chocolate boxes and improve a commonhousehold appliance.

The fi rst thing involves rocketry. We often hear how something is not as hard as rocket science, or you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to accomplish a certain task. I get a little tired of having the study of projectiles held up as the stick from which all difficulty is measured. And to prove them wrong, I think this year I may study aerospace engineering and learn about the physics of trajectories, lift, thrust, etc. How

Well, anyway, on to the second thing. All boxes of chocolates (not just the classy ones) should have a chart of the contents on the underside of the box top. However, placing it on the bottom of the box would create some humorous situations and possibly sell more chocolate.

Unfortunately, a chocolate treasure map would remove the charm of Mrs. Gump’s adage because, unlike life, a wellmapped box of chocolates would always let you know what you’re going to get.

My own mother must have grown tired of watching halfeaten candy spit into the waste basket – that image can ruin an otherwise festive atmosphere. As with other problems, she would cut the chocolate into smaller pieces to expose the stickiness of the situation.

And fi nally, few problems in life can bring such temporary horror as a bad haircut and the immediate need to correct it. As a child, my friend Mark once jumped out of a barber’s chair and stormed out the door halfway through a haircut when he saw his reflection in the mirror.

I have experienced that heartstopping realization. Clippers, designed for screwing up your appearance at home, come with several guides that fit over the blades. They are supposed to help you cut your hair at an even length. This works only if they are put in place.

I have been halfway through a haircut when I removed the guide to do a quick touch-up around the ears. The screaming started shortly after I picked up where I left off. It was then that I realized I forgot to put the guide back on. But then it was too late because I had disfi gured myself with several 1-inch-wide swipes.

My wife, Rhonda, was summoned from whatever secondary task she was doing to fi x my hideousness.

Therefore for 2012, I propose that clippers designed exclusively for home use should come with an automatic shutoff when the guide is removed. As I cut my hair about once a month I may only have about 12 more times to screw it up anyway, because according to some interpretations, the Mayan Calendar signifies the end of this age on Dec. 21, 2012.

The Mayans, who lived in Central America over 1,000 years ago, devised a calendar that did not continue past 2012. Some people think the Mayans knew that the world would end at the end of this year. With all due respect to pre-Columbian society, I am not going to worry about it though. I will sit up in my room, warmed by my new fleece, and plan for next year.

Year of irruption for snowy owls It is looking like this winter is shaping up to be the winter of the “snowies,” and I don’t mean the frozen white stuff that falls from the sky. Nope, I am referring to snowy owls (Nyctea scandiaca).

Snowy owls are an amazing species of owl that normally live in the arctic regions of Canada and Alaska. Every now and then – let’s say every three to five years – some of these owls show up in the Upper Midwest, Pacific Northwest and along the Eastern seaboard.

This is one of those years. You see, this is not owl migration.

No, this is owl irruption.

There is a big difference between migration and irruption. Migration is a predictable or annual event in which the birds leave their home ranges at a predictable time, such as the end of summer, and move to warmer places, or at least less extreme climates. In spring they return. This is all very predictable. Every single year, right on cue, the migration happens. Irruption is not regular or annual. It occurs in irregular intervals.

It is difficult to predict an irruption year, although many try to predict with varying amounts of accuracy.

A good example of migration can be seen in the warblers. These tiny songbirds leave their home ranges at the end of summer and migrate down to central and south America. In spring they return. Just like clockwork. Birds such as the snowy owl, great gray owl and northern hawk owl are irruptive. Normally they don’t go anywhere. They stay in their home range. However, every so often they pick up and head out on a longdistance journey.

NATURE SMART

So at this point you might be asking yourself a couple questions. First of all, how do you know if this is an irruptive year and what makes the birds do this behavior?

First, it would be normal to have a few, and I mean just a few, snowy owls being reported across any given region in any given winter.

This year, hundreds are being reported in the Upper Midwest alone. Other areas are also reporting large numbers of these large white birds. So, armed with this information, I would say it’s safe to say we are having an irruptive winter with snowy owls.

So why does this happen?

Traditionally it has always been thought that an acute food shortage causes these movements. So in other words the normal food supply for the owl would be running low, crashed, and the owls would be starving and would leave their traditional areas in search of another food source.

I remember back in the 60s and 70s the common belief was that lemmings, a small arctic rodent, would commit mass suicide by all jumping off a cliff. This turned out to not be true on so many levels, starting with the fact there are very few cliffs of sufficient

A snowy owl perches on a fence post. height in the arctic from which to jump. And besides, no wild animals have ever been documented to commit suicide. The drive to survive is way too strong.

During the past few years, studies have shown that the lemming populations in the arctic are at an alltime high, so this wouldn’t support conventional thinking, would it? So what the current thinking is, due to the abundance of food supplies, the owls have been able to reproduce at record numbers. A high population of owls has led to a natural dispersal of birds out of their home range. This is a fairly common behavior for many of Mother Nature’s critters.

Exploring new opportunities is how some animals are so successful. Irruption is just one more way to fill a niche.

When these owls irrupt from their natural home range they don’t just go south.

They also go east and west.

We often think that the birds make a beeline due south.

Obviously not true. Many owls will end up along the West Coast. I just was looking at some information regarding 10 snowy owls together along the coast of Washington state.

Many of these owls will end up along the East Coast, in places including New York.

Once established in a spot, the owls often stay put for several months or at least to the end of winter when they will return back to their home range. Let’s hope the snowies survive winter and return safely home in spring thus completing the cycle. Until next time ...

assie Norgren’s feet have taken her throughout the country. She hasn’t walked to Chicago and New York City but she was able to visit both cities because of her twinkle toes.

The Savage resident has been a co-owner, instructor and choreographer at Premiere Dance Academy in Prior Lake since her family opened the studio in 2003.

But long before her days of teaching young dancers, Norgren discovered that she had the moves.

“I’ve always loved tap.

That’s always been my favorite,” she said. “I think it does go along with the musicality. I like making rhythms with my feet.”

As an 8 year old, Norgren took her first dance class – a combination tap-jazz class held in what is now Flowers Naturally in downtown Prior Lake – after seeing her younger sister Callie begin to dance. It’s now 21 years later and while she’s been sidelined due to time constraints and injuries, dance continues to be a large part of Norgren’s life.

Her family is one of rightbrains, so her childhood was

Cassie Norgren of Savage has been dancing for over two decades. The choreographer, instructor and co-owner of Premiere Dance Academy in Prior Lake offered a few tips for beginning dancers.

Anybody can do it. “You just have to say, ‘Whatever, I’m just going to try it,’” Norgren says.

You don’t have to go it alone. “You can do it with your friends to make it a little less scary along the way.”

Check it out. “You can always come and watch any class.”

She has played piano since age 5 – she still sits at the keys occasionally but “not as much as I used to,” she said – and played the alto saxophone

as a student at Prior Lake High School. When Norgren isn’t inside one of Premiere’s studios, there’s a good chance she’s in the kitchen.

“I love doing crafts,” she said. “My newest obsession is making cake pops.”

bake. I like to do crafts and photography.

What is your favorite recipe?

Sweets, desserts, cookies; things I can decorate and play with.

What’s your favorite food?

I like anything Italian.

Pasta, pizzas. I really like gnocchi.

What is the last book you read?

I just read “The Help.” It’s definitely a good book.

Who are your favorite musicians?

I have a lot. Right now I really like Coldplay, Mumford & Sons and Ellie Goulding.

Do you have a favorite type of music to use when you’re choreographing?

I’ll use anything from some remix or techno to something older and more traditional … I use all areas of music. I don’t focus on one.

If you could dance with anyone, who would you choose?

Gene Kelly or Bill “Bojangles” Robinson. I’d love to watch them perform in their heyday.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I’d go back to Australia or to Italy. I love both of those places.

“I apply it here to teaching the kids,” Norgren said.

Dance roared back into her life. Norgren teaches 10 to 15 classes and instructs 10 to 15 soloists, leaving little time for anything that isn’t related to dance or Premiere.

“It’s a lot,” she said. “It’s just like any other job. I’m working with kids and it’s fun.

I don’t get sick of it. I never want to leave.”

Norgren loves the relationships she’s been able to form not only with her dancers but with their families. She even gets to utilize her crafty side when it comes to costuming her dancers. With all her experiences, though, it’s still hard for her to pinpoint what it is that she loves about dance.

“As a teacher, I love creating the dance, doing the staging, seeing it all come together,” she said, noting that she also likes to watch her students improve. “[As a dancer,] I like entertaining. I like being on stage.”

When the Dunn Bros Coffee on County Road 42 closed in July, many of its dedicated customers weren’t about to move on to the next closest coffee shop. Instead, regular customers of the Savage shop flocked to the Dunn Bros next to the library in Eden Prairie.

“Everybody and their brother seemed to be coming from Savage,” said store co-owner Ken Sutherland.

Since then, Sutherland and co-owner Sharon Odell have shut down the Eden Prairie shop and reopened the County Road 42 location on Dec. 14.

Sutherland said they were forced to close the Eden Prairie location because of an influx of competition in the area, and in the weeks leading up to their last day, the hoards of customers from Savage helped them decide where to relocate.

“It was like, ‘You don’t have to hit us over the head with it that maybe this is a good idea,’” said Sutherland. “They kind of made our decision for us.”

Now, die-hard customers are heading south instead of north.

“We have some customers here right now that are from Eden Prairie,” said Odell.

“We actually had more customers from Eden Prairie at our grand opening than from Savage,” added Sutherland.

That says a lot about the owners, considering there is still a Dunn Bros on Eden Prairie Road in Eden Prairie.

Owners Ken Sutherland and Sharon Odell reopened the Dunn Bros Coffee on County Road 42 earlier this month.

Reprints available at photos.savagepacer.com One might think that moving from one Dunn Bros building to another would be a rather simple process; not so, said Sutherland.

“The store was not in good shape,” said Sutherland. “We closed Eden Prairie in October and worked almost daily for two months to get this place ready.”

Now that their business calls Savage home, Sutherland and Odell want to enmesh themselves with the community.

“There are some owners who just own the store, but we are really hands on, and we want to know our customers and know them by name,” said Odell.

“That’s one of the biggest reasons why we do this, because

the people we meet really enrich our lives. It’s amazing.”

Sutherland said they will also look for ways to give back to the community whether it be through local charities or by sponsoring little league teams.

While having a small-town coffee shop feel defi nitely adds to the appeal, it also doesn’t hurt that Dunn Bros offers exceptionally fresh coffee.

“We roast our own beans every day,” said Sutherland.

“Nobody else [around here] does that. It’s the freshest coffee you can fi nd every morning.”

Dunn Bros Coffee is located at 5801 Egan Drive (County Road 42) and is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day.

Sand Creek Township farmer who expected a 38 percent tax increase and a New Market Township resident facing a 20 percent jump.

“It’s the mechanism of the tax system that is shifting the burden of tax,” said Ellsworth.

“One bright spot,” said Ellsworth, is that the County’s unemployment rate shrunk from 7 percent in January 2011 to 5 percent in October. It is trending closer to the 3 percent figure of before 2008, he said.

for ways to reduce technology purchases through a metro-wide pool, Ellsworth said, and continue to explore a 911 dispatching merger with Carver County. The Sheriff’s Office has already put off some software purchases due to the possible merger.

There’s also been talk of merging the two jails if the dispatchers can be successfully combined.

But as the County organization gets slimmer, it may also look at adjusting the salaries for certain positions, such as top-level prosecutors and information technology specialists, due to competition in the marketplace for those skills, according to managers.

The County also has hired a half-time economic development director and is ramping up efforts to further business growth through partnerships with the regional Itasca Project and other local governments through the Scott County Association for Leadership and Efficiency.

On Dec. 20, Scott County Attorney Pat Ciliberto – who sued the County for denying raises for him and top prosecutors – asked the County to conduct a market pay analysis for his staff, although he is not asking for a raise for himself. Earlier this year, a County judge ordered him a raise, but not for his top staff.

be eligible for small merit pay increases.

They can earn one-time lump sums equivalent to one-quarter to 1 percent of their salaries for 2012. Depending on the outcome of performance reviews, bonuses could total around $200,000.

The following year, members of the three affected unions will be eligible for a one-half to 4 percent adjustment to their base salary, depending on performance.

Employees who don’t meet general performance goals won’t be eligible for any raise.

Scott County is unique among public employers for its merit pay system. It has contracts to negotiate with another six unions, the largest being the sheriff’s deputies.

MORE TAXES FOR SOME The County’s tax levy was flat in 2010 and went up 1.6 percent this year, which was absorbed by new property in the County, according to County Board Chair Tom Wolf of Credit River Township.

An increase of 0.9 percent was budgeted for 2012, with additional funding directed toward a reserve and capital account to cover unknowns in state funding and labor contracts, said

Kevin Ellsworth, the County’s finance head.

A projected state surplus now means the County likely won’t face an emergency unallotment or deeper aid cuts than anticipated, Ellsworth said.

Wolf – who legally had to abstain from voting because he was on sedatives following foot surgery – said he went to the County administrator a couple of weeks ago because he was uncomfortable with a tax increase of 0.9 percent.

Even with a flat levy, 45 percent of residents will pay $60 or more extra next year to the County (although 20 percent less now fall into this category).

Nearly half will have a tax increase less than $ 60. The County bill will shrink for approximately 6 percent.

The state cut $1.3 million in program aid from the County that used to directly subsidize the local property tax levy.

In addition, the state eliminated the homestead property tax credit, but to soften the blow to lower-valued homes, pushed more of the tax burden onto businesses, farmers and higherpriced homes.

Additionally, the state has an automatic inflator in its portion of the business property tax, explained Scott County Administrator Gary Shelton.

At the Dec. 1 taxation hearing, the County Board heard from a

GOING INTO 2012 The County expects to finish out 2011 with a $50,000 budget surplus. Savings in some areas counterbalance $1.5 million for a loan and contributions toward the construction of a library in Jordan.

“We reorganized some of our divisions, flattened the organization, moving five divisions into two,” Ellsworth said. “Our resource-sharing continues to grow. We’ve updated portions of our components of our management plan – that’s a huge part of moving our organization forward for performance management, for strategic budgeting.”

As part of continued belttightening, 17 County positions will be eliminated in 2012 – eight via layoffs, five through voluntary retirements and four from the elimination of vacant posts.

A Minneapolis woman convicted of aiding and abetting the theft of a new 2012 Ford Mustang has been sentenced to 20 months in prison.

Danele Lee Svoboda, 36, pleaded guilty this month in Scott County District Court to aiding and abetting the reception of stolen property, a felony. She will serve just over 13 months of the sentence in prison and the rest on supervised release. Svoboda was given credit for time already served.

Charges against Svoboda for felony fifth-degree drug possession and giving a false name to a police officer were dismissed.

Svoboda’s co-defendant in the case, Christopher Jay Stan-

ley, 28, of Apple Valley, is facing a felony receiving stolen property charge and has an omnibus hearing set for Jan. 5.

According to the complaint, a Savage police officer saw the Mustang slightly overshoot a stop sign on South Park Drive on Nov. 8 and decided to run its license plate. The plates came back as stolen.

After losing the vehicle for a short period of time, the officer located it on 144th Street where it stopped in the middle of the road, facing the officer, then slowly pulled into a driveway.

The officer approached the vehicle, and when the driver, Stanley, began to get out, the officer ordered Stanley and Svoboda to the ground at gunpoint. Both were taken into custody.

Inside the vehicle, the officers found a towel containing tools and an envelope on the

dashboard that appeared to be intentionally placed there to cover the car’s vehicle identification number (VIN). Upon running the VIN, the officers learned that the car had been reported stolen by the St. Cloud Police Department.

Stanley told police that he bought the car from a man he met at an AA meeting in St. Cloud. He said he bought it for $2,000 and agreed to pay the man $2,000 a month as well.

Stanley said he did not have the car’s title and that the bill of sale was at his girlfriend’s home.

Stanley admitted to police that he stole the license plates that were on the car because there were none when he bought the car from the man.

St. Cloud police said the car had been stolen from a dealership between Oct. 29 and 30.

running vehicle. An officer observed that the man was exhibiting multiple signs of impairment. The man was unable to provide an adequate preliminary breath test and was arrested and taken to the Savage Police Department. While there the man refused to have his BAC tested.

After he was taken to Scott County Jail, the man registered a .25 BAC on a preliminary breath test. The man has a prior DWI conviction from 2004. Also, the cell phone that the man initially reported stolen was later found in his vehicle.

FRAUD Dec. 22: A man from the 9400 block of Woodridge Way reported that someone called him and told him that he won a lottery, and that he would have to wire money in order to receive his money. The man did not send any money or give out any personal information, but wanted the incident recorded.

PROPERTY DAMAGE Dec. 22: A girl from Prior Lake reported that the back window of her vehicle was broken while she was at Prior Lake High School, 7500 block of 150th Street.

Dec. 23: A woman from the 13200 block of Monterey Avenue reported that someone damaged her outdoor Christmas decorations. Total loss is estimated at $100.

Dec. 26: A 26-year-old man from Prior Lake was arrested for obstructing the legal process with force, criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct after officers were called to a home in the 14100 block of Alabama Avenue for a report of a drunken guest “destroying the house.” When police arrived, the man could be seen through a screen door leaning against a kitchen counter and giving officers the middle finger. The screen door was unlocked, so police entered the home where they were “greeted with profanity.” The man acted hostile towards the officers, both with his verbal communication and body language. Police eventually were able to handcuff the man, who continued to be uncooperative, and when they tried to escort him out of the home he kicked at a nearby woman. Police took the man down to the ground, where he continued kicking. Police were forced to restrain the man’s legs with a “hobble” device that ties a person’s ankles to the handcuffs. Police then carried the man out of the home, and he continued to verbally harass the officers all the way to the police station.

STOLEN VEHICLE Dec. 21: A man from the 15400 block of Dakota Avenue reported that a woman that he knew had stolen his car.

When an officer contacted him again about the case, the man reported that the woman returned the car and was in his driveway. Police arrived and found the woman in his driveway. It was determined that the car was not stolen, but that the woman had violated an order for protection. She was then arrested and taken to Scott County Jail.

THEFT Dec. 19: A resident in the 13800 block of Glendale Trail reported that

someone stole outgoing mail from his mailbox. A Netflix movie and a check were stolen, and the suspect attempted to cash the check in Eden Prairie. As a result of a separate investigation by a Carver County detective, the items were later found in the possession of a 53-year-old Burnsville woman. The woman currently has several similar charges pending against her in the metro area.

Dec. 20: Radio Shack in the 14100 block of Highway 13 reported that a $200 GPS device was stolen from the store. An employee reported that while the store was busy, two men were looking at the GPS devices, and when the employee went back to look at the devices, one was missing.

Dec. 22: A 13-year-old boy from Savage reported that someone stole his $100 iPod while it was in the boys’ locker room at Eagle Ridge Junior High.

Dec. 23: A man from the 8400 block of Carriage Hill Court reported that two full bags of garbage were stolen from his home. There are no suspects.

Dec. 23: Multiple storage units were reportedly broken into at Safe and Sound Storage, 4000 block of Highway 13. Several sets of golf clubs, a chainsaw, a reciprocal saw, a safe, a gun cleaning kit and several antiques were among the items missing. Twenty items total were reported stolen with an estimated value of more than $4,300.

Dec. 23: An officer observed a 16-year-old boy reach behind the counter at SuperAmerica, 14200 block of O’Connell Road, and grab cigarettes.

The boy attempted to leave the store without paying for the cigarettes or the 24-ounce can of beer he had in his possession. The boy was cited for theft, underage possession of alcohol and underage possession of tobacco.

Dec. 24: A man from Burnsville reported that his wallet and its contents were stolen from his gym locker while he was at Lifetime Fitness, 6500 block of Loftus Lane. Credit cards and $60 in cash were stolen, as well as a $300 cell phone.

UNDERAGE DRINKING Dec. 23: Twenty adults were cited for underage consumption of alcohol and a 19-year-old man from Savage was cited for violating the social host ordinance after police received a report of an underage drinking party at a home in the 5200 block of 141st Street.

WARRANT Dec. 19: A 26-year-old man from Savage was arrested during a traffic stop on Highway 13 near Connelly Parkway on a Dakota County warrant for contempt of court.

POLICE REPORT The Savage Police Department issued 42 citations and responded to 176 incidents between Dec. 19 and 26.

Some of those included: ASSAULT Dec. 20: A 14-year-old boy from Savage was cited for fifth-degree assault after he engaged in an altercation with a 13-year-old boy at Eagle Ridge Junior High, 13900 block of Glendale Road.

Dec. 20: Police were called to Eagle Ridge Junior High for a report of an assault on a 12-year-old boy. It was determined that the boy’s injuries were not caused by an assault but that he still needed medical condition. The boy suffered a large bump on his head with some swelling and was incoherent and dazed. He was transported to the hospital by Allina. While investigating the incident, a teacher approached the officer to report that another student had been assaulted in a separate incident. That student has yet to decide whether to press charges.

Dec. 21: Police received a report of a 13-year-old boy punching a fellow student in the mouth while at Eagle Ridge Junior High. The alleged victim has yet to decide whether to press charges in the case.

Dec. 22: A 19-year-old man from Savage has been charged with fifthdegree domestic assault and interfering with a 911 call after he allegedly got into a physical struggle with his girlfriend over a set of car keys.

DWI Dec. 20: A 24-year-old man from Michigan was arrested for fourth-degree DWI after he was pulled over for driving the wrong way on Highway 13. An officer on patrol saw the man driving westbound in the eastbound lane of Highway 13 near Princeton Avenue, then make a U-turn at Quentin Avenue to correct himself and drive eastbound in the eastbound lane. The man then made another U-turn at Princeton Avenue to go westbound in the westbound lane and was pulled over near Vernon Avenue. The officer detected a strong odor of alcohol coming from the man, who admitted to drinking one beer. Just before performing a field sobriety test, the man also admitted to drinking two Bloody Marys. The man’s performance on the field sobriety tests led the officer to believe the man might be impaired from alcohol. A preliminary breath test registered the man’s blood alcohol content (BAC) at .12, and he was arrested. The man later registered a .12 BAC at the police station and was taken to Scott County Jail.

Dec. 22: A 43-year-old man from New Prague was arrested for fourthdegree DWI after he was pulled over on Helena Boulevard near Meadow Wood Court for speeding. He later registered a .11 BAC and was taken to Scott County Jail.

Raise a glass Drinks to warm the belly and the heart

BY LORI CARLSON editor@plamerican.com

S

ometimes, the holidays just go down better with a warm, cozy cocktail.

Luckily, the southwest metro area has plenty of establishments proffering winter warmth in a glass – from cake-like cocktails to the fuzzy-sweater-in-a-mug that is mulled wine.

At Wildfire in Eden Prairie, customers can even take classes to learn how to whip up celebratory beverages with ease.

This year’s Candy Cane Cocktail Class included recipes for hot drinks – like the aforementioned wine mulled with brandy, cloves, cinnamon and lemon peel – and frosty drinks sure to warm the cockles of the coldest winter hearts.

In addition to the traditional eggnog – a blend of milk, heavy cream, egg yolks, sugar, ground nutmeg and dark rum that should come with a “don’t eat for a day before imbibing” warning – the course also highlighted three holiday-themed martinis that range from sprightly to choco-licious.

The holly berry martini is not named after a smoking-hot Oscar-winning actress, but rather the frozen, sugar-coated

cranberries that float in the glass. Jackie Stetter and Brooke Kennington of Wildfire developed the recipe and perfected the art of rolling cranberries in simple syrup and sugar, then freezing, for a pretty adornment.

With white cranberry juice, simple syrup, lime juice and sparkling wine, the drink is perfect for New Year’s Eve, with or without alcohol.

Those looking to replicate the atmosphere of the chilly outdoors should try the winter frost martini – a decadent mix of Van Gogh Dutch chocolate vodka, vanilla vodka, simple syrup, white crème de cocoa and white crème de menthe.

On the other end of the south metro is Axel’s Bonfire in Savage, which introduced its “Winter Warmers” menu in early December. The surprisingly good Three Olives Cake vodka brings sweetness to two of the recipes – the molten chocolate cake and coffee cake martinis – without curling one’s teeth, though the molten cake drink is far sweeter than the coffee cake, in which hot coffee replaces the cocoa.

Of course, you could stick with a traditional Irish coffee or Bailey’s and coffee, but why not branch out when local bars offer things like almond truffle and French vanilla martinis?

Rim glass with vanilla frosting and crushed candy canes. Place two scoops of ice into a martini shaker. Pour all ingredients into shaker.

Shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Pour from shaker into martini glass.

French vanilla hot cocoa ½ oz. Kahlua ½ oz. Absolut Vanilia vodka ½ oz. peppermint schnapps Hot cocoa Whipped cream Place shots into glass mug; top with hot cocoa and whipped cream.

Almond truffle ¾ oz. Bailey’s Irish cream ¾ oz. Desaronno amaretto Hot cocoa Whipped cream Place shots into glass mug; top with hot cocoa and whipped cream.

The coffee cake warmer at Axel’s Bonfire features Three Olives Cake vodka, hot coffee, whipped cream and sprinkles.

Homelessness topic of Jan. 12 meeting HeadingHome Scott-Carver will be hosting a second community meeting to discuss issues concerning those in the area who are without housing – including people who are doubled up, living in places not meant for human habitation, or homeless – on Thursday, Jan. 12 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Chaska Community Center, 1661 Park Ridge Drive. It is open to all members of the community.

The meeting will focus on the need to fi nd housing solutions for people in the area this winter.

On Oct. 28, Scott Carver Project Community Connect

served more than 400 people in the local community who are “Living on Little,” including families living in cars, camping, doubled-up with friends and family, and even a man who carried a cot on his back.

Warnings issued for aerated lakes The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has warned ice anglers, snowmobilers, skiers and other outdoor enthusiasts to use caution when going onto any lake covered or partially covered with ice, especially those that feature aeration systems.

Aeration systems are generally operated from the time

lakes freeze until ice breakup in the spring. They help prevent winterkill of fi sh, but they also create areas of open water and thin ice, which are significant hazards.

Scott County lakes that will be aerated this winter include O’Dowd and Thole in Shakopee; Cleary and Lakefront Park Pond in Prior Lake; MurphyHanrehan in Savage; and Cedar, Crystal, Legends, McColl and McMahon.

Two types of signs are used to post aerated lakes: “Thin Ice” and “Warning” signs.

For more information, call a regional fisheries office or the DNR Information Center at (651) 296-6157 or toll-free 888-646-6367.

Prior Lake boy home after hospital stay

BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

Seth Ratliff, the 14-year-old Prior Lake boy who was struck while crossing Highway 13 on his bike last month, left Hennepin County Medical Center late last week after spending more than three weeks in the hospital.

R at li f f conti nues to u ndergo outpatient physical and occupational therapy, and his father Todd Voth said he ex-

pects that Ratliff could return to school sometime during the second week of January.

Voth said Ratliff will be slowly worked back into a regular schedule at school.

Ratliff, a freshman at Prior Lake High School, was airli f ted to Hennepin Cou nty Medic a l C enter i n Mi n ne apolis on Nov. 28 after he was struck by an SUV traveling south on Highway 13 while riding his bike to school. Ratliff was crossing Highway 13

near Oakland Beach Avenue just before 8 a.m. when he was hit.

The 76 -year-old driver of the SUV suffered no apparent injuries, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. Ratliff was wearing a bike helmet, according to paramedics.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol accident report, several witnesses said that there was nothing the driver could have done to avoid the collision.

his grandchildren. He has two adult children, one whose family lives in Lakeville, and when his kids left the house many years ago to start their own lives, Haemmerle considered ways to help others in need.

His career was also winding down, which added to Haemmerle’s desire to find a new way to give back. He considers himself “almost-retired,” as he now works about one weekend a month in Menomonie.

But what really inspired him to seriously consider organ donation was an article in a local newspaper about a single mother who was on dialysis and struggling to fi nd a donor, and eventually received a kidney transplant from a stranger.

“That was kind of the fi nal piece,” said Haemmerle, “so I contacted the Mayo Clinic’s transplant center and asked if they accepted anonymous kidney donors, and they did.”

In the months leading up to the decision, Haemmerle had discussed his intentions with his wife, Gail.

www.savagepacer.com | Savage Pacer “She was general ly sup portive,” he said. “She was, of course, worried about the risks that were involved, but once she learned more and we learned more about it, she became even more supportive of me.”

After a full physical and psychological evaluation, he was placed on the kidney donation list in the fall of 2009.

Haemmerle, an avid kayaker, hoped that the operation could take place sometime in the winter so he could have plenty of time to recover and hit the open water once spring came around.

“It was basically in their hands. It wasn’t really my place to pick a recipient,” he said with a chuckle.

Haemmerle did get his wish, however, and was told a few weeks in advance that a matching recipient was found and that the operation was scheduled for Feb. 9, 2010. Prior to the operation, Haemmerle knew absolutely nothing about the recipient of his kidney, and the two even had their operations on separate floors of the hospital to ensure that they wouldn’t run into each other.

Haemmerle was understand-

Coldwell Banker Burnet Scott County Of¿ce 952-445-7272 cbburnet.com

ably a little anxious before the procedure, but his familiarity with the operating room, as well as his familiarity with the risks involved, helped keep him level.

“Part of the deal is that you have the opportunity to back out at any time, even up to the moment when you’re in the operating room,” he said, “but I never considered it at all.”

Haemmerle spent two nights in the hospital after the procedure, and within a matter of weeks, he was fully recovered.

Six months later, Haemmerle received a call from the Mayo Clinic asking if he would like to meet the recipient of his kidney. Haemmerle was already heading up north near where the man lived for a kayaking trip, so he gladly took the opportunity to meet the man, who Haemmerle said is a farmer, carpenter and father of four.

He spent an afternoon with the man and two of his daughters in a town near Duluth.

Haemmerle described the meeting as a “wonderful experience.”

“It really hit home, the impact that the donation had on their lives,” Haemmerle said.

According to city staff, nominees must adhere to a number of principals, including integrity, trustworthiness, honesty, sincerity, empathy and accountability. In addition, they need to have a positive attitude, be a good

Rose Parade, Haemmerle will participate in a host of other activities while in Pasadena.

Participants will meet for a “getting acquainted dinner” before the parade; there will be a rose dedication ceremony where people will donate money to the organization and dedicate a rose in the memory of a donor; and the participants will take part in a parade rehearsal.

“I guess I’ll just sit on the f loat and practice waving,” Haemmerle said laughing.

A family of a deceased donor has actually asked Haemmerle to dedicate a rose to their loved one during the rose dedication ceremony, and the roses dedicated will be featured on the float.

While Haemmerle isn’t quite sure what to expect from the float ride, he said he is most excited to meet the others who have been invited to ride the float and to hear their stories.

Even though most would say the recipient of Haemmerle’s kidney has likely benefited the most from the transaction, Haemmerle doesn’t necessarily see it that way.

“When I did it, I did it because it just felt like the right thing to do,” he said, “but what I’ve experienced since then, and part of it may be because

Stock said the selection of the employee of the year is one of the most difficult decisions he has to make all year, because so many City employees possess the qualities for which the honor is awarded.

Previous award recipients include Police Officer Gene Miller (2010), Public Works Lead Jay Lair (2009) and MIS Administrator Ro Hart (2008).

Skating highs, lows Blaze routs two section foes, ends up sixth at Schwan Cup

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

In less than a week, the Burnsville boys hockey team outscored a pair of Section 2AA foes by a combined 23-6 margin.

However, the Blaze a lso dropped a pair of close games, losi ng t wo of t h ree at t he Schwan Cup Dec. 26-28 to fi nish sixth.

So there’s a little bit of good and a tad not-so-good for the seventh-ranked Blaze.

The good: Burnsville’s 8-3 South Suburban Conference road victory at Prior Lake Dec. 22. The Blaze scored six goals in less than six minutes to improve to 4-0 in league play. The muchimproved Lakers are a team to watch out for in the section.

B u r n s v i l le’s ot he r w i n against a section foe was 15-3 over Holy Angels in the consolation semifinals of the Schwan Cup Dec. 27. The Blaze scored early and often, leading 5-0 and then 7-1 after one period and 13-2 after two periods.

Bu r n svi l le (7- 5 overa l l) opened the tourney the day before with a 4-2 loss to No. 1 Duluth East in the quarterfinals Dec. 25.

Senior Mason Wyman scored at the 13:54 mark, while sophomore Tyler Sheehy tallied 57 seconds later.

Senior Hunter Anderson had a second-period goal for the Blaze to tie the game at 1-1.

Hill-Murray scored two goals 1:18 apart in the third period to take a two-goal lead.

Junior Chris Mallon made the start in goal for the Blaze and finished with 18 saves.

Burnsville had 28 shots on net.

The easy part came in the second half. The Blaze held Holy Angels to just five points after the break en route to a 52-26 victory.

Burnsville (2-3 overall) went into the game on the heels of a 48-46 home loss to Lakeville South and a 53-45 set at Prior Lake Dec. 15 in a pair of South Suburban Conference games.

In beating Holy Angels, the Blaze had 10 players in the scoring column led by senior Jessica Ranke’s 10 points.

Twelve expanded permit areas will offer wild turkey hunters more flexibility and opportunity when they apply for the 2012 spring wild turkey hunt, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said.

“Wild turkey permit areas have been consolidated into 12 new, larger areas from 77 smaller ones,” said Steve Merchant, DNR wildlife population and regulation program manager. “While Minnesota’s overall turkey range remains the same, larger geographic areas in which to hunt provide more choice within a single permit area.”

Applications for the spring season are being accepted now through Friday, Jan. 13, wherever hunting and fishing licenses are sold and online at www.mndnr.gov/buyalicense.

The hunt will consist of six five-day and two seven-day seasons. All adult resident and nonresident wild turkey hunters interested in hunting during one of the fi rst four time periods must apply electronically. Licenses for the last four time periods will be sold over- the-counter only.

Youth hunters 17 and younger can purchase a permit over-the-counter for any time period.

All hunters must pay a nonrefundable $3 application fee at the time of application. Nonresident hunters may apply online or by telephone at 888-665-4236 (MNLICENSE). A nonrefundable $3.50 transaction fee will be charged for online and telephone applications.

Hunters who are not successful in the drawing may purchase surplus turkey permits, which are sold on a first-come, fi rst-served basis in mid-March. They also may choose to purchase a license over-the-counter for any of the last four time periods. Unsuccessful applicants retain their preference points.

Hunters who are successful in the drawing for one of the fi rst four hunts and choose not to purchase a tag will lose the current year’s preference point for future drawings, but not accumulated preference from past years.

For more information, call the DNR Information Center at 651-296-6157 or toll-free 888-646-6367.

The Prior Lake boys hockey team melted down in the second period Dec. 22.

The Lakers were hoping to notch a big early season win over one of the top team’s from its section (2AA), as well as the state. But instead, the game turned into a blow out.

Seventh-ranked Burnsville scored six goals in a span of 5:27 in the second period en route to an 8-3 South Suburban Conference road win over the Lakers.

Sophomore Jack Murphy tied the game a 1-1 with a goal 2:43 into the second period. About seven minutes later, the Blaze’s scoring frenzy began in electrifying fashion.

The Blaze took a 4-1 lead scoring two goals just 12 seconds apart.

Burnsville led 7-1 after two periods, before the Lakers scored twice in the third period on goals from junior Gavin Smith and sophomore Jeff Pieper. Burnsville tacked on one more goal 2:04 after Prior Lake’s fi nal score.

The Lakers will meet the Blaze again on the road Feb. 2 with hopes of a better result.

There’s also the potential for a playoff matchup as well.

Prior Lake was outshot 41-27. Senior Kyle Krueger had two assists, while Murphy, Pieper, junior Joey Kleven and sophomore Blake Busch each had one.

Senior Kyle Miller started in goal for the Lakers and made 33 saves.

The game was pretty even for a period and a half. Burnsville scored with 46 seconds left in the fi rst period to take a 1-0 lead.

The Blaze is a dangerous offensive team that if you let get rolling, it can score in bunches.

The Blaze had 40 goals in its fi rst six wins and 46 goals overall through eight games.

Meanwhile, the Lakers dropped to 3-3 overall with the loss (1-2 in the conference).

Prior Lake was back on the ice in the Kiwanis/Wells Fargo Festival Invitational in Rochester, which ended Friday (results not available at press time). The Lakers faced Eastview in the quarterfi nals, which also counted as a conference game.

Lakers melt down in second period in 8-3 conference loss

The Burnsville girls hockey team has been searching for a confidence-boosting win to get its season jump started.

Well, the Blaze found one.

Eighth-grader Lauren Bench made 42 saves in the Blaze’s 1-0 shutout at home over No. 6-ranked Edina Dec. 22 in a non-conference game.

Bench made a first-period goal hold up in earning her fi rst-career shutout.

T he sudden ly resu rgent Burnsville (5-6-3 overall) took a five-game win streak into the final game of its own round-robin tourney Thursday (results not available at press time) versus Proctor/Hermantown.

The Blaze won its fi rst two tourney games – 5-3 over East Ridge Dec. 27 and 8-0 over Owatonna the following day.

So that 0-5 Blaze start (06 -3 through nine games) is a distant memory now. The Blaze was 5-1-3 in its last seven games before facing Proctor/ Hermantown.

Meanwhile, against Edina, Ninth-grader Maddie Dockry scored the game’s only goal.

She tallied 14:10 into the fi rst period with sophomore Lindsey Coleman getting the assist.

The Blaze’s penalty-kill unit was also in top form, killing off five Edina power plays, including three in the third period.

Burnsville hasn’t had much success against Edina in recent years. The Blaze had lost the previous four games against the Hornets, including losses in Burnsville’s last two statetournament seasons (2010 and 2007).

Meanwhile, in beating Owatonna, Coleman got the hat trick, scoring twice in the second period to give the Blaze a 6-0 lead.

S ophomor e Pa i ge Sk aja added two goals, while senior Alexa Pearson, junior Karis Volk and sophomore Briita Nelson each scored one.

Nelson, Pearson, Volk, Dockry, seniors Jennifer Maloney and

Allie Waters and junior Joelle Strand each had one assist.

Bench earned her second shutout finishing with 10 saves.

In the win over East Ridge, the Blaze broke open a 3-3 tie with two third-period goals with Strand netting the goahead goal. Maloney sealed the win with an empty-netter.

Burnsville led 2-0 after one period on goals from Coleman and Maloney. Junior Alaina Blair gave the Blaze a 3-1 lead with a second-period goal, before East Ridge scored twice to tie the game up going into the fi nal frame.

Ni nt h- g rader M adison Schertler started in net for the Blaze and had 22 saves. Maloney, Blair, Coleman, Pearson and sophomore Emma Wittchow each had one assist.

The Blaze is back on the ice Tuesday, Jan. 3 at Lakeville South in a South Suburban Conference game at 7 p.m.

The Lakers return to conference action Thursday, Jan. 5 at Lakeville South at 7:30 p.m., and will stay on the road Jan. 7 at Rosemount at 2:30 p.m.

Warm weather could be sign of a larger problem After the winter we had last year, snow as high as our shoulders at the end of the driveway, cold that froze lakes hard and early, this winter’s non-start is a strange reversal.

A dry Thanksgiving, a brown Christmas, moderate temperatures and clear roads have made the holiday preparations and traveling much simpler this year. The low-angled sun makes the shadows long across our dry lawn, mimicking the coming of spring. Today, I feel like I live in Missouri.

And that’s the shadow side of this great moderate winter.

Most climatologists point to the large swings in temperatures of air and sea as proof positive the earth is different than it was 50 years ago. Our climate is slightly warming, and that small change has been enough to shift tornados to Alabama, flooding to New York and California, great snows to Oklahoma and dry ground to Minnesota this year.

Polar ice caps have shrunk so much that the maps of the past are nearly useless.

Expect normal to now be more moderate, the meteorologists say. I wish the climate change deniers were right, and that these changes are just periodic swings in the planet’s climate.

They aren’t, and it breaks my heart.

Every day our winter feels like spring is another day I think about the future of this planet and the world my children, and your children, are inheriting. While many industrialized nations like our own are moving toward a more ecologically sustainable

Lynne

SILVA-BREEN SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS

way of life, including inching away from our chronic dependence on fossil fuels, there are nations across the globe just beginning their economic explosions and burning fossil fuels faster than others are conserving.

Americans have a difficult time discussing this with these national leaders, for we were the main culprits for the last 200 years and created our massive economic boom burning coal, gas and oil like there was no tomorrow, sending out the exhaust into the air and water as if the environment was infinitely adjustable.

We know now that the atmosphere can only adjust so much. We have changed the natural world. And while I think about how terrible this is, I think about God. The way that human beings have blighted this great, blue planet tells me that while God is the creator and author of our life, God also has given us the power to be co-creators. That has been the way God has worked, letting humankind experience the effects of

our own choices whether we are talking about nation building, genocide or ruinous environmental habits.

If anyone thinks that God is going to bail us out of climate change, that person has never seriously considered human history. It seems to me that while God is deeply involved in the flow of life, the expansion of the creation, the energy of living things, God is less involved in what those living things do in the world from moment to moment. I have no other way to explain my confidence that God is with us, but at the same time good – as well as bad – things continue to happen in the world.

While a snow-free December may be a novelty, the words of the scientists hard at work to understand the environment have me worried. Without the effort of every country, we may be creating problems we can’t step back from. I’m counting on our best efforts, and the energy of God to renew life at every turn, to keep us spinning for generations to come. When it comes to what we have done to creation, it’s going to be our job to try to fix it. God help us.

(Published in the Savage Pacer on Saturday, December 31, 2011; No. 2011) Metropolitan Council Public Hearing: Draft Facility Plan Amendment for the Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements Project Shakopee Library (Large Meeting Room) 235 S. Lewis St. Shakopee, Minnesota Tuesday, January 31, 2012 6:30 p.m.

The Metropolitan Council will

hold a public hearing to inform the public about and accept comments on its Draft Facility Plan Amendment for the Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements Project (MCES Project No. 801800).

The Draft Facility Plan Amendment for this project, prepared by the Metropolitan Council’s Environmental Services Division (MCES), outlines alternatives studied and the resulting recommendations for construction of a solar panel facility to generate a portion of the electricity required by the Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant.

MCES proposes constructing a 1.25 megawatt (MW) solar panel facility on the southwest corner of the Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant property, which is located at 6957 County Road 101 E., Shakopee, Minn. The facility would be designed to provide enough electricity to meet the plant’s minimum electrical-demand cycles. This would equate to approximately 12 percent of the plant’s annual electrical demand, and result in energy-cost savings of approximately $100,000 per year. Construction of the solar panel facility would be scheduled for 2013.

Copies of the Draft Facility Plan Amendment for the Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements Project are available at: Shakopee Library, 235 S. Lewis St., Shakopee Shakopee City Hall, 129 S. Holmes St., Shakopee Metropolitan Council Data Center, 390 Robert St. N., St. Paul Metropolitan Council Website, www.metrocouncil.org/environment/ESReports All interested persons are encouraged to attend the public hearing and provide comments. You also may submit comments, which must be received by the Metropolitan Council no later than February 10, 2012, to be included in the public hearing record: Send written comments to: Tim O’Donnell at Metropolitan Council Environmental Services, 390 Robert St. N., St. Paul, MN 55101-1805 Fax comments to: Tim O’Donnell at 651-602-1477 Record comments on: Metropolitan Council Public Comment Line at 651-602-1500 E-mail comments to: data.center@metc.state.mn.us Send TTY comments to 651291-0904 Upon request, the Metropolitan Council will provide reasonable accommodations to persons with disabilities at the public hearing.

Please submit such requests to Tim O’Donnell via mail or fax (see above) or by phone at 651-602-1269 before January 24, 2012.
