PACER State shutdown aﬀects city’s electrical inspections

SUNDAY SHOPPER

Long-time local resident Marge Weber was one of the first to arrive at the Savage Farmers’ Market on Sunday morning, hoping to find a good selection of herbs to fill out her patio planter. The market features a variety of area vendors who gather every Sunday morning during the summer months in the downtown area. It’s proven to be a favorite of many, including Weber, who said the market excursion is part of her weekend routine.

Girls gather for good causes BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com

At the Prins house, a typical Wednesday afternoon in the summer is anything but typical. A baker’s dozen of 10- and 11-year-old girls eat, drink and swim. But these girls are combining fun with creativity and charity to better their community. These 13 girls are members of the Girls of Summer ‘11 summerclub, a group started by Prior Lake 10-year-old Julia Prins, with support from her mom Anja. Julia spent Wednesdays last summer bored because her brother was participating in the Summer Stretch program at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church – both Julia and her brother Jasper attend the church’s school – leaving Julia without an afternoon playmate. Julia, who is going into fifth grade, can’t participate in Summer Stretch until she reaches sixth grade. “I believe she said ‘It’s not fair,’” laughed Anja. “Mom said, ‘Do something about it.’” Like any good kid, Julia did as she was told. “I was very bored during the day because I didn’t have anyone to play with, so I decided to have my friends come over every Wednesday,” she said. Julia’s friend Melissa Pfeiffer, 10, who lives in Savage and also attends St. John the Baptist Catholic School, could relate to Julia’s situation. “My sisters are gone at Summer Stretch so it’s really boring,” she said. So Julia created a somewhat alternate Summer Stretch, which

The group got together on two Sundays in May, while school was still in session, to make tank tops that read “Girls of Summer” in puffy paint and flip flops. The “official” meetings began June 22, when the girls tie-dyed shorts and made time to swim, even though it was raining. Each week, the girls arrive at the Prins’ Prior Lake home and spend time snacking, crafting and swimming – and talking during all

of it. Of the nine girls present at the group’s most recent meeting on Wednesday, they all agreed that spending time together – especially in the lake – was the best part of the club. “My favorite part is the swimming and the friends,” said 10-year-old Grace Martin, who also lives in Savage and attends school with Julia. But beyond diverting the girls’ attention from TV and technology

T he st ate shutdow n h a s h ad little impact on the city of Savage, except that the city relies on a state employee to complete its electrical inspections. “This af fects remodeling and new construction of businesses and residences,” said Jay Scherer, city of Savage building inspector. Prior to the shutdown, the state inspector worked with Scherer to schedule and complete electrical inspections. Scherer estimated that approximately 35 - 40 inspections were done each week in Savage with the average inspection taking less than one hour. On July 5, the Savage City Council unanimously agreed to move forward with the staff recommended “Sp eci a l I n sp ec tion P rog ra m,” which will give homeowners and contractors the option of hiring

A new morgue needed Scott, other counties facing big decision

Medical examiner cost per county Scott: $1.46 per resident

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

Anoka: $2.89 per resident

Medical examiner Dr. Lindsey Thomas would like to retire in eight years, and she wants to leave Scott County in good hands. But Thomas knows forensic pathologists are hard to come by. It may be impossible to hire a lead examiner for the eight south-central Minnesota counties she serves unless the Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner’s Office gets a new facility before she retires. Thomas shares the basement of Regina Medical Center in Hastings, where bodies come in the same door as the hospital’s outpatients. The agency’s caseload has grown nearly five times and exams have more than doubled since the morgue was last remodeled in 1987, but there is no room at Regina to expand. Five counties have also been added to the collaborative. Besides limited space to store specimens, there’s no place to put additional staff or add on to the autopsy room. Staff must manually move bodies because they have no mechanical lifts. Only a small storage closet exists for storing tissue samples and the evidence room lacks a secure entry system. Perhaps the most concerning is the single room for performing autopsies, when there should be at least two to separate bodies that might be decaying, infectious or used for organ harvesting. Families also have no private area to view loved ones — just the hallway or intake room. “They are pretty cramped down there,” commented Scott County Commissioner Joe Wagner, a funeral director.

the area’s state electrical inspector on their own during the state shutdown. However, because the inspector is currently laid off from his position as a state employee, he will work as an independent contractor – contacted, scheduled and paid directly by homeowners and contractors. His fee is $80 per hour with a minimum of one hour. According to City Administrator Barry Stock, the idea is that “homeowners and builders will be able to continue with their process.” Once the special inspection is complete, the inspector will send a letter to Scherer outlining his fi ndings. This will also allow the city to issue temporary occupancy status for new construction. When state operations resume, individuals who utilized Savage’s Special Inspection Program will

Hennepin: $4.05 per resident Collaborative: Scott County partners with Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue and Houston Counties For months now, Thomas has shared her personal office with Marie Barbesier, a French forensics physician who came to Minnesota for a fellowship with the Olmsted County medical examiner, who abruptly resigned. Thomas had no room, but offered the woman work space at a table a few feet away from her desk. Thomas, who formerly worked for the Hennepin County medical examiner and still lives in Minneapolis, has overseen the office for about 10 years. She oversees three other forensic pathologists, a senior death investigator and three administrative staff. Thirty part-time investigators also respond to calls in their respective counties. Minnesota counties are required to employ either a coroner — a medical doctor who may be a family physician — or a medical examiner, a forensic pathologist specially trained to perform death investigations. Counties without a medical examiner might hire one for specific cases. Scott County contracts with seven other counties for medical examiner services. As coroners retire, Thomas sees such partnerships expanding. Counties are finding it harder to recruit doctors who are willing to double as coroners, and more expertise is expected nowadays from death investigations.

Thomas sees Minnesota moving further to a regional medical examiner system, similar to her office’s. Last year, Thomas’ office investigated 2,080 deaths, with 350 autopsies performed for eight counties. She was hired to conduct another 70 autopsies by counties who only have a coroner. The issue about the morgue’s future really came to a head when the former CEO of Regina asked the medical examiner’s office to move. The hospital needed more room and sharing the building with a morgue wasn’t the most glamorous set-up. A 2008 Dakota County study concluded what Thomas already knew: her facility is inadequate. At the time, building on the grounds of the Northfield hospital seemed the best option. Northfield would be a good place to draw a medical examiner whose spouse could work in Rochester or the Twin Cities. It also offered the advantages of sharing the hospital’s lab, radiology and pathology services. Since then, additional opportunities have come up and the clock isn’t ticking as fast for a decision to be made. “It’s now up in the air,” Thomas said.

MANY OPTIONS What’s new? Hennepin County is interested in building a new facility and Anoka County has a new morgue. Both counties are open

be required to have a final approval inspection done by the state inspector – which is expected to be the same person. The second inspection will cost an additional $80 per hour. Scherer said that the builders and developers who have contacted him know they will be paying twice, “but they are all in favor of this” in order to keep their projects moving forward and to meet closing

to partnering with Thomas. The new leader of Regina is also more supportive than the past CEO. Regina still wants its space back in the basement, but Thomas is no longer under pressure to move quickly. The hospital also has asked Thomas to remodel Allina Clinic across the street for her office. Each option has its advantage. If the agency could partner with Hennepin County in a new facility around the Bloomington area, they could share administrative staff and justify more advanced technological equipment. Downtown Minneapolis would be a less appealing spot, however. Anoka has a wonderful facility and is close to agency partner Chisago County, but that would leave much of southern Minnesota far from a medical examiner office. Olmsted County, which has contracted with the Mayo Clinic for medical examination services, has talked about a potential partnership, but it still has not replaced its forensic pathologist who abruptly retired in January. Despite the prestige of Mayo, Thomas’ office is more robust and Houston County bypasses Rochester to use her facility in Hastings. Ramsey County also has a medical examiner’s office, but it has been plagued by accusations of errors in major cases and its director is on the outs with other medical examiners in the state. If the collaborative decides to share a facility with Anoka or Hennepin, it might not be cheaper and the counties would lose some control. Distance

dates. Councilwoman Christine Kelly wondered if there would be a risk to homeowners or builders if the state electrical inspector changes once the state resumes operations. Stock said that there would be some risk that final approval would not be issued, but Scherer noted that the area inspector’s contract with the state runs through June 30, 2012, which he thought would provide a “reasonable guarantee” for state inspection final approval. Stock outlined the city coun-

could also be a factor for some counties. Looking at the map of Minnesota, there isn’t a lot of rhyme or reason to the patchwork of counties that partner with this or that medical examiner in the state. Much of it is based on past precedent, personalities and who knows who. Scott County officials would like to stick with Thomas. “She doesn’t have that MD mystique,” said Wagner. “She’s very handson.” Both the county attorney and sheriff gave her high rankings in a recent meeting with the County Board. “The level of service she provides is astounding,” says Scott County Attorney Pat Ciliberto. Wagner said the office has

The building inspection department will share the name of the inspector with homeowners and contractors who call the main line: (952) 882-2650. Kelly suggested that callers also be alerted to the double fees.

good camaraderie and no turnover. He recently made two trips down to the morgue with family members of a man who committed suicide. Thomas sat down twice to explain what happened. “That really is going above and beyond,” Wagner said.

NOT IMMEDIATE, BUT SOON Scott County commissioners were briefed on the options in March and plan to tour the morgues in Hastings and Anoka in coming months. Thomas would like the counties to reach a decision in the next couple of years because it could take a few years for a facility to be constructed. She knows a move could be

It also would mean an extra burden for cash-strapped counties. “It’s going to cost more than what the counties have been paying,” Thomas said. “It could not be a worse time economically to be talking about this.” But she knows change must happen — there simply isn’t enough room at Regina to serve the growing counties or attract a chief pathologist when she retires. Despite her office’s reputation, few candidates will want to assume Thomas’ dual doctor/ administrator role, much less move into a cramped facility. Wagner knows a better space

is required. He hopes the county can continue contracting with Thomas, but would like a facility that is closer to Scott County.

Track, horsemen hanging on for now State shutdown threatens season

Straight teeth… no braces!

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

On the day Americans were supposed to be celebrating their independence, Canterbury Park lost its. It was a beautiful July 4. But on the most popular day of the racing season, the parking lot at the Shakopee horse track sat empty, aside from a KSTP-TV news van broadcasting the misery of hundreds of horsemen. There were no fireworks Monday night. Only worry. And none of it made sense. “I feed eight families,” said trainer/owner Bryan Porter, who has had trouble sleeping since the shut-down started. He has approximately $10,000 in expenses each week. In the era of state budget shortfalls, Canterbury lost more than $1 million in revenue by being forced to close on its busiest weekend of the year. The lights went out at midnight Thursday when Republican lawmakers and Gov. Mark Dayton failed to reach a budget deal by the July 1 deadline. A St. Paul judge on Saturday denied Canterbury’s petition to re-open. Worried about losing the entire racing season, Canterbury owner Randy Sampson offered bonuses to horsemen who were supposed to race last weekend, but stuck around. On Monday, he treated stable workers to lunch and distributed free food coupons to those whose income has been reduced. Perhaps the outcome would have been different had a Scott County judge heard Canterbury’s petition, but Dayton wanted it consolidated with requests from the Minnesota Zoo and Running Aces Harness Park in Anoka County. C a nt erbu r y, wh ich wa s forced to close its Card Club and simulcasting, argued it should be permitted to operate since the Minnesota Racing Commission is self-funded by the racetracks. The track has paid $1.3 million to the state since July 2 010 for reg ulators and is licensed to operate through June 2012. But Ramsey County District Court Judge Kathleen Gearin would only permit the zoo to open. She said the zoo’s parking and admission receipts are a standing appropriation that does not require legislative action. “The shutdown has resulted in the judicial branch being forced to make emergency interpretations of numerous funding provisions,” she wrote. “Experienced legislative committees and executive branch budget and management employees have spent years craft-

Trainer/owner Bryan Porter was supposed to race five horses last weekend in Shakopee. He worries about keeping his workers employed, including groomer Israel Gomez of San Antonio, Texas, who supports a wife and year-old daughter. ing these provisions. They are the branches best suited by experience and competency to make these decisions.” Ca nterbu r y may app e a l Gearin’s decision and trainers continue to care for horses so they will be ready if the track reopens. There are 1,300 horses stabled at Canterbury. Horsemen are staying put for now, but trainers may begin to pull out if the track isn’t reopened within a week or two. Ca nterbu r y moved up a stakes race to last Thursday in case it had to close. They have the large purses many trainers rely on to recoup their costs of raising and training animals. Trainer Bernell Rhone estimates his stable is losing $2,000 to $ 3,000 each day racing is canceled. For horses that only race in Minnesota, it hurts the most. His wife Cindy said most of their workers are employed on work visas from Mexico and can only legally stay here if racing continues. Foreign workers at the track were confused by the state shutdown and why Canterbury is closed while stores and Mystic Lake Casino are not. “Why are they doing this to us?” asked 27-year-old exerciser Salomon Dieago, who sat in the empty track cafeteria with his friend, watching racing from other tracks on the TV. “We just want to run.” He wi l l go wherever his trainer, Mac Robertson, goes. The options for trainers vary. Some with stables at tracks in other states may be able to race elsewhere. The costs of stabling at Canterbury are higher than at a training center, so horses that can’t

race elsewhere may be moved home or to a farm. Horsemen are worried that Canterbury — which was already struggling to compete with tracks that have racinos — won’t be able to hold on if this goes on much longer. Especially if a racino isn’t part of the budget deal. Breeder Deb Hilger of rural Sti l lwater, whose husband Jeff is a board member for the horsemen at Canterbury, said the state shutdown could forever damage the agricultural industry in Minnesota. She listed the three semi-loads she buys of hay, the $20,000 spent on supplements from an Eagan supplier and even more that went to the vet. It ’s not e a s y t o r e c oup $30,000 that can go into raising a horse. “You have to have as many racing days as you can to get money out of you r i nvestment,” said Jeff Hilger. If trainers start to pull out, there may not be enough horses left to run. Robertson said Canterbury already lost money last season. “Obviously they’re not making any more this year.” He sees ulterior motives in the shutdown of Canterbury because of its quest for a racino. Deb Hilger said she has cut all she can and borrowed from savings to keep her Blue Valley Farm afloat while holding out hope for a racino. She says she just wants a level playing field with other states. “If it doesn’t go through this year, it will close our farm,” she said.

DEBTS AFTER DEATH

Dr. George Hankerson Dr. Brent Kvittem • Dr. Amy Kebriaei

The current financial climate may lead some to wonder what becomes of debts incurred by the deceased as they apply to an inheritance. As far as “unsecured” debts are concerned, they are paid from the estate as the executor decides. These include the most common types of debts such as medical bills. “Secured debts” are those that are owed on a specific property that must be paid before the property can belong to its owner free and clear. The most common example of a secured debt is the mortgage on a house. When property left in a will is subject to a secured debt, the debt legally passes to the beneﬁciary with the property. Do you have any questions about debt? Our compassionate and discrete attorneys understand the many issues surrounding the complex issues of debt and we can offer advice, whether you’re wondering about unsecured debt, foreclosure, or bankruptcy. In addition, we can also help with real estate law and probate issues. If you have any questions, call 952-226-1202 to make an appointment. Our address is 6001 Egan Drive, Suite 140, Savage, MN. Multiple Services. Singular Commitment. HINT: In some cases, the deceased may have provided resources to pay off a secured debt in his or her will so that the beneﬁciary may be relieved of the responsibility of paying it off.

Governor’s flexibility needed to resolve budget impasse I worked hard to try to reach a compromise and prevent a state government shutdown, and I am disappoi nted t hat it happened and apologetic to everyone who is adversely affected. I absolutely did not want a government shutdown because I believe it is bad for our fragile Minnesota economy, not to mention the direct impact it has on state employees and those who have contracts with the state or depend upon some service from the state to continue to operate, such as Canterbury Park. I do wish Gov. Mark Dayton would have conceded to the request of Republican legislators to call us back into special session at the end of June in order to pass a “lights-on” bill to keep state government running at current levels until a full budget agreement could be reached. We could have put a limit of one week or 10 days into the resolution so everyone would have kept working hard toward a compromise. We were close to agreements on many of the budget bills. In fact, if the governor didn’t want to use a lights-on bill, I believe we could have closed up six of the nine major outstanding budget bills very quickly, and we would have been willing to do that if he would have agreed. If we could have passed those, many workers could have stayed on the job and services would have continued for many state residents. The budgets in the environment bill (funding game, fish, parks and the Pollution Control Agency, with the Department of Commerce also rolled into that bill), the E-12 educ ation bi l l, t ra nspor t ation (which could have kept all the road construction projects going and the rest stops open), higher education, jobs and judiciary and public safety bills were either completely or almost (a few million dollars) agreed upon. Intense and productive negotiations took place last week on the health and human services (HHS) bill, our largest growth area and the bill that always causes the most angst as a result. The committee chairs and the commissioner of HHS were making real progress and t here was ag reement t hat some additional one-time money would be provided for this budget if reforms that would slow future growth in this area were also included in the bill. The tax bill and state government bill were also still being discussed. However, Gov. Dayton refused to call us back for a special session, something only the governor could do after he vetoed all of the bills we passed which did provide for a balanced budget (and additional spending over current levels in K-12 and HHS) and would have kept everything running if he had signed them in May. Gov. Dayton said he would only call us back to pass a continuing resolution if we had agreement in all budget areas. Prior to the shutdown in 2005, Gov. Pawlenty encouraged us to pass bills, which he signed, as agreements were reached in each budget area. That resulted in a much more limited shutdown than is being experienced this time. It is the belief of many of my colleagues, and I agree, that Gov. Dayton and DFL legislators planned to make this shutdown as painful as possible in order to force the Republican majority to his position quicker. That strategy not only puts pressure on legislators, but it negatively affects thousands of others who are caught in our dispute, such as Canterbury Park, which is unfairly shuttered because of this shutdown. I think that’s shameful. Although I support cutting projected growth to balance the budget, I’m willing to support some additional revenue, including a racino, to get a compromise. I do not support increasing income or sales tax rates because I believe that can have a negative impact on economic development, and we can’t afford to hamper that during an economic recession when we need job creation.

ROBLING REPRESENTING YOU

Minnesota is already ranked 50th in the nation for business tax climate by the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council, with only the District of Columbia being worse. We need to make the climate in Minnesota better for business if we want to grow our economy and get our folks back to work. There are case studies showing that a tax increase on high-income individuals, like the one proposed by Gov. Dayton, will drive those that pay that tax out of the state. For example, when Maryland increased taxes on the wealthy, the state lost one-third of those taxpayers in one year. Other than directly increasing tax rates, there are a variety of ways to increase revenue to cover some additional expenditures the governor is demanding. However, there was not consensus on these items. I left the Capitol at midnight June 30 very disheartened that no compromise was reached. Although I know many of my conservative friends do not like the idea of raising any additional revenue (I’ve read your emails), I don’t believe there will ever be an agreement reached with the governor if there isn’t some level of additional funding available. I will not, however, concede to the $1.8 billion he has requested. I know from working on all of the budgets that we do not need that amount of growth. I will continue to work to try to bring sensible and fiscally prudent ideas to the table to close the divide and bring about compromise. I want our state to operate efficiently, but I do not believe it should provide services that cost taxpayers so much that they can’t take care of their own families or profitably operate businesses and provide employment. We really must work to live within our means. When we started the legislative session in January, we faced an overwhelming $6.2 billion deficit. That was reduced to a $5 billion deficit in the February forecast because of forecasted economic growth. That additional revenue also allowed the Republican-controlled Legislature to develop a budget that spends $34.2 billion – the largest general fund budget in the state’s history and the same amount that the state spent in the 2010-11 biennium which ended June 30 (when federal stimulus funds and money made available through the K-12 education shift are included). Our 2010-11 general fund was only $30 billion without that revenue, so you can see that our economy is projected to grow nicely, but if we keep all of our programs the same, we will be $5 billion short because the budget is projected to grow to $39 billion. That is why cuts and reforms must be a prominent part of these bills. We truly must slow the rapid growth of state government spending. Obviously, not all positions can prevail, but compromise does require both sides to give up things they really want and accept a few things they don’t want. No one will be completely happy, but with my 15 years of experience in politics, I know that’s what it takes to get a deal, and for the sake of the people in Minnesota, a deal must be made.

GILLETTE COMMUNITY VOICES

I was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal And the straw boss said “Well, a-bless my soul” You load sixteen tons, what do you get Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go I owe my soul to the company store Such are the lyrics from the song “16 Tons,” the original words of which were attributed to Merle Travis. He had been a Kentucky coal miner. Travis actually put it in an album he created called George Davis: When Kentucky Had No Union Men. In Wikipedia the following entry was found: “According to Travis, the line from the chorus ‘another

day older and deeper in debt’ was a phrase often used by his father, a coal miner himself. This and the line ‘I owe my soul to the company store’ is a reference to the truck system and to debt bondage. Under this scrip system, workers were not paid cash; rather they were paid with non-transferable credit vouchers which could be exchanged for only goods sold at the company store. This made it impossible for workers to store up cash savings. Workers also usually lived in company-owned dormitories or houses, the rent for which was automatically deducted from their pay. In the United States the truck system and associated debt bondage persisted until the strikes of the newly-formed United Mine Workers and affiliated unions forced an end to such practices.” In the present day we are being told that our economy isn’t working because we (the consumers) are not

spending or (as in the last two to three decades) overspending. It sure sounds like the company store. How many of you reading this column today have at one time felt like a coal miner prior to the unions; used as a tool to make someone rich while being used up and thrown aside after giving your all to the work you were given to do? In the present day we have job after job that requires a Master Degree or even higher, while those same jobs pay at a rate that makes it so the worker can hardly pay the school debt accumulated to get the degree. I understand non-profits that do that, but shame on the business person who creates a relatively impoverished work force while staying rich or becoming richer. It is certainly hard not to make comparisons with the 1930s, but the same questions that showed up then are being asked today: What are you willing to give up to work? Salary, medical benefits, working conditions, time with family? I leave you with two other questions to discuss: Why do you think the wealthy are supporting candidates in conservative legislatures we see all over the US? Who creates wealth?

LETTERS FROM READERS POLITICS

Kline has distorted view of voting record I am writing in response to Rep. John Kline’s guest commentary in the Savage Pacer’s July 2 edition. While I do appreciate the sincere effort Rep. Kline makes to reach out and listen to his constituents, I think he may have a somewhat distorted recollection of his past voting record; and thus the issues he supposedly fights for. Rep. K li ne beg i ns by rai li ng against the stimulus plan passed in 2009, but forgets he voted “yes” on the Economic Stimulus plan (H.R. 5140) in 2008. A little further into the reading, Rep. Kline admonishes us to “empower small business owners,” yet in September of 2010, voted “no” on the Small Business Lending fund (H.R. 5297) which would increase lending to small businesses and expand various tax deductions. Shall we continue? Rep. Kline

laments the millions of Americans who have given up their job searches, due to frustration, and who have had their “spirits broken, hopes dashed and their dreams killed,” a very true and sad statement, one which anyone living in these times can sympathize with. Yet, Rep. Kline, by his voting record, seems to be helping further the destruction of the American worker’s (and family’s) spirit by continually voting “no” on the extension of unemployment compensation to those who have been out of work for so long they have received their maximum contribution (H.R. 5618, 4213, 839, etc). Isn’t this the very group Rep. Kline laments about? Although I could continue for quite some time tearing down the illusory veil Rep. Kline dangles in front of us, I will conclude with a critique of one fi nal remark Rep. Kline makes in his letter to the credulous reader. One of the prime movers which beg at the Great Recession was the deregulation of Wall Street and the banking system. Now, I am

not implying this was the whole and sum cause, but I would challenge anyone of sane mind to deny its great influence. This allowed huge sums of money to be made, but in an extremely reckless and irresponsible fashion. Yet, Rep. Kline seems to be oblivious to the events which transpired just three-to-four years ago, and so voted “no” on H.R. 4173, which would provide greater regulations on the U.S. fi nancial system. It seems clear from even a superficial analysis of Rep. Kline’s voting record that, while yes he seems concerned about spending, he also shows little concern for the large part of the population directly effected by our current financial woes; i.e. small business owners and the middle class. While he can write guest commentaries and put into words his supposed sadness at the state of the average American, his voting, the thing that actually matters, reflects this in no way. Record does.

Purple Martins back after last year’s disaster

checks I counted 25 healthy and happy babies. Their parents were bringing in large amounts of insects, particularly dragonflies, to feed the young and that provided many hours of visual enjoyment for me. I had thoughts of adding another complex of houses and expanding my colony to accommodate all these new family members. However, disaster was about to strike in the form of a raccoon. Or at least I think it was a raccoon. I never really saw the perpetrator. Over three consecutive evenings last summer, one by one the baby martins were pulled from their nests and eaten. In the mornings, I found bits and pieces of wings and tails at the base of the martin house. All of the

As you can image, I was holding my breath all winter and spring wondering if my martins would return. Heck, I even broke down and purchased a new eight-gourd colony kit and installed it late last winter. I really wanted to make my martins feel at home when they arrived in the spring. More importantly, I installed raccoon guards on the poles. These are designed to stop raccoons from climbing the pole and getting to the nestlings. I was delighted this spring when the martins showed up and immediately accepted the new housing options along with the old housing and got down to having babies. Now I have at least 15 pair of martins and nesting is well underway. I think I may have dodged a natural bullet and I am looking forward to a summer filled with the calls of the Purple Martin.

adults seemed to be accounted for and doing well. But now, the adults had no reason to stick around. I watched as the adults tried to figure out what was happening. They wanted to feed their babies, as they had been doing for nearly two weeks already, but when they showed up with a beak full of insects, there were no tiny mouths to feed. Slowly, over a 10-15 day period, the adult martins stopped coming back to the colony. One of the nice things about having a Purple Martin colony is that the birds spend much of the summer at the colony. They are unlike other birds that never come back once the babies leave the nest. Martins are homebodies and they are very loyal to the colony and they return to the colony for much of the summer. Last year I wrote about my martin predation, and many readers responded with their own stories of disaster and suggestions of solutions to stop this from happening again. I also heard and read about similar accounts of predation to martin colonies and it was suggested that once a predator has hit, the colony often doesn’t come back the following year. They simply abandon the colony.

For those of you who follow this column closely and have contacted me to express your condolences about the story of the early demise of all 25 of my Purple Martin babies last summer, I have good news. I am happy to announce that one year after the disaster, the martins are back, and they are having babies again. My Purple Martin colony started about seven years ago when I put up an old metal martin house, apartment style, at my lake cabin. I was thrilled when two pair of martins took up residence the first spring. All that spring and summer, I watched very closely the daily comings and goings of the Purple Martins, the largest member of the swallow family. I was thrilled to have my very own Purple Martin colony. Over the ensuing years, my martin colony grew. Not a lot, just a little bit each year – from two pair in the beginning to about eight pair last summer. Each morning I was greeted by the martins’ cheerful calls as they swooped into the old metal house. Everything was going great and it appeared that my martins were here to stay. Last summer, I had a record number of adult birds and they seemed to be breeding. Doing my regular

BURNSVILLE-EAGAN-SAVAGE SCHOOLS

Declines in use bring about cuts in community education program BY ALEX HALL ahall@swpub.com

It’s that time of year for school districts to balance their budgets, and it’s no different for the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District’s community education department. What’s different this year is that due to declining enrollment in community education programs and the resulting decline in revenue, the department is facing unprecedented cuts. Ruth Dunn, director of communications, said the community education department has been hit especially hard by the lingering recession. Enrollment in adult enrichment courses is down, as that area is a discretionary spending expense that many can easily cut out of their budgets.

But one of the main reasons community education has struggled, said Dunn, is the declining enrollment in child care programs, which make up much of its revenue. That’s because parents who are unemployed have little or no need for child care, or find friends or relatives to help out. C o m mu n it y e d u c a t i o n , while still part of the district, has its own separate budget that must be balanced each year. For 2011-12, that budget is $5.9 million. To balance the budget, some rest r uctu ri ng has a l ready taken place, in addition to the projected cuts. At the June 16 meeting of the BurnsvilleEagan-Savage School Board, a plan was established that will allow community education to have its employee policy separate from the district.

T hat mea ns Com mu nity Education Director Tom Umhoefer will have “more total control of the budget” because of the added f lexibility he’ll have in staffing the department, Dunn said. When recommending the proposal to the School Board, Tania Chance, executive director of human resources, said community education “is in need of reorganization to include programmatic changes, shifts in roles and responsibilities and the ability to control expenditures as needed so that we can prepare a balanced budget.” Chance also explained that with the department’s current fiscal crisis, the district had to transfer $183,369 from the general fund. “Without the approval of the revisions to this agreement, it (community edu-

cation) won’t be able to balance (future budgets) and be more responsive to programmatic changes that the community is actually demanding,” she said. The new employee policy will last until June 30, 2013. But a new employee policy won’t be enough to balance the department’s budget. Dunn said three full-time equivalent (FTE) positions are expected to be cut in addition to a large chunk of programs. Dunn said “the community isn’t going to feel it as much,” because the programs being cut are ones that already suffer from low enrollment. Dunn said programs and classes being offered this summer will not be affected, but that the department will make cuts in programs beginning this fall.

Summer Stretch participants pour out lives for others Often the daily rhythm of a church follows the schedule of the school year, and during the summer months we can easily think about these days as a down time. What I like to tell people is that summer brings a different pace at church. It is during the summer months that major maintenance work is done like the roofing project on our school building. It is also the time when unique mission-focused activities abound. Among those mission activities is Summer Stretch. Each Wednesday we have some 140 young people of various ages who come to church and do some form of service in the morning hours and then a fun activity for the afternoon. Among the places our youth did service last week were Salvation Army, Ebenezer Ridges Care Center, Augustana Regents, parks in the city of Prior Lake, as well as at the parish and among parishioners. In another venture, this past Saturday we sent 30 people from here to our sister parish in Houston, Miss. where they are hosting a Vacation Bible School. On Sunday night I met the bus filled with 40 young people and adult chaperones from here who returned from Los Angeles. This group traveled to give a week of their time painting houses, cleaning yards, and simply giving the time of day to those who might otherwise be forgotten. In the evening, our group - along with others from across the country - would gather to both reflect on their experience and be formed deeper in their lived faith. As the group came home, they were met with many hugs from parents and brought into church for the celebration of Mass. It was an amazing experience. During the Mass I invited

the participants to share with one another and their parents, who were also present, some of what stood out for them from this experience. The stories were inspiring and some talked about working in a homeless shelter. While they never saw those who slept in the shelters, it made the issue and the people who used the service more real for them. Another person talked about working with children who lived in poverty and how their simple presence and smiling faces left an impression with those they served. The prescribed scripture readings for the Mass couldn’t have been more perfect. From Matthew’s gospel we read, “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened and I will give you rest.” This group of missionaries was more than ready for rest after coming home. They wanted nothing more than a soft pillow and a good shower after spending 30 hours in a bus. At the same time they, along with those participating in Summer Stretch and those soon returning from Mississippi, are a wonderful example of the later part of this same gospel text where Jesus says, “take my yoke upon you and learn from me.” Jesus’ yoke is one of loving service that is directed outwardly to others and is seen most clearly in the cross. Just

as Jesus literally pours out his life for us, we are called to pour out our life for others. Those participating in the various mission experiences are living the words of this gospel passage in unique ways, and like the earlier part of this text, we join our prayer to the prayer of Jesus who says, “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and learned you have revealed them to little ones.” While there are unique mission experiences taking place around us and the stories being shared are important to hear, we are all the little ones called to the mission of following in the footsteps of Jesus and sharing something of God’s love. It happens in the extraordinary experience of the summer, but it also happens in the ordinary moments of our daily lives. It happens when we reach out in welcome to our new neighbor. It happens in the care and concern we have for those who are sick or hospitalized. It happens when we work in any number of ways, whether at home or at work, to make our world a better place and one that more clearly reflects the Kingdom of God. Just as many of our young people are opening themselves to the calling of God’s Holy Spirit that leads them to serve, may we all be renewed in serving those who carry the heavy burdens of life today. May we each be instruments of God’s love and signs of God’s peace that are readily seen among us. (Father Michael Tix is pastor at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Savage. He is one of several area pastors who write for “Spiritual Reflections,” a column that is one of several opinion and commentary pieces appearing regularly in this newspaper.)

for a few hours each Wednesday, the summerclub serves another purpose: giving back. When Julia came up with the idea for the club, she added a component straight from her altruistic mother’s playbook. Among other acts of kindness, Anja is the mind behind the “Have you Hugged your Child Today?” bumper stickers sold last year in the wake of a car accident that claimed the life of 11-year-old Joel Balistreri, whose family was part of the St. John the Baptist community. Julia decided that her weekly girl gatherings would be about more than just good times and friendship. “That came from Julia,” Anja said of the communityservice component. “I think it’s awesome.” “We go to a Catholic school and that’s what we were taught to do,” Julia said. “It’s what we’re supposed to do.” She didn’t have any trouble getting her friends to join in. “Julia’s one of my great friends and I thought it would be fun,” said 10-year-old Rosa Gomez of Burnsville. Each weekly meeting involves separate service and fun events. Wednesday’s gathering involved making kindness reminders, an idea that came from Julia’s grandmother. The girls decorated small frames and attached pads of sticky notes to the frames. The students then write notes to themselves each day, reminding themselves to perform a small act of kindness. Pledging to clean their own rooms or those of a sibling was the most popular message, with doing dishes coming in second. Ten-year-old Cassie Olson of Burnsville reminded herself to “be polite” and fellow 10-year-old Kristina Beer of Prior Lake wrote a note to listen to her parents better. After a lunch of pizza, an impromptu photo shoot with a photographer from “Catholic Spirit” and a brief midday swim, the girls prepared for a field trip. They were getting ready to drop off the handmade fleece tie blankets, cat toys and bunny haystacks for critters at a metro humane society. The Girls of Summer have also made birthday gift bags – containing Silly

From left, Cassie Olson, Kristina Beer, Grace Martin, Julia Prins, Rosa Gomez and Melissa Pfeiffer talk and laugh as they make kindness reminders at the Prins home in Prior Lake. The girls, who are all 10 years old and attend St. John the Baptist Catholic School, agreed that their favorite part of the Girls of Summer ’11 summerclub is being able to spend time together. Olson and Gomez are from Burnsville, Beer and Prins live in Prior Lake while Pfeiffer and Martin call Savage home. Bandz, bubbles, stuffed animals and other toys – and donated them to the St. Louis Park Emergency Program, which helps economically disadvantaged individuals and families. “It’s important,” Pfeiffer said. “We made gift bags for kids who couldn’t afford them and it probably made them feel surprised. It’d be fun see the looks on their faces and see how the feel.” That empathy is at the core of the Girls of Summer ’11 mission for so many of the group’s members. “I want to treat people the way I want to be treated,” Martin said. “God wants us to do it, and it’s fun because you’re with people,” said Beer. “It’s fun to think about if you were that person, how fun it would be to get that gift.” The summerclub ladies plan to host a book drive and direct their efforts toward helping the Water Project (which provides clean H20 to people in Africa and India) before closing out the season with a sleepover and a trip to Feed My Starving Children. Anja provides parental supervision and gives suggestions for service projects, but her role is hands off for the most part. “They’re all very good kids,” she said. “They do their own stuff and I keep them safe.” Anja recognizes that she’s fortunate, as a stay-at-home mom, to be able to serve as

Other parents provide transportation, supplies and additional supervision, and still recognize Anja’s hard work. “As a mom of one of the girls, I’m so appreciative to Anja,” said Kerry Davison of Savage, whose daughter, Molly, is 11 and just finished fifth grade at Glendale Elementary School. “In society, now, it’s so hard. You have to arrange play dates. [Girls of Summer ‘11] offers some consistency. It helps the girls build strong relationships.” Though 10-year-old Leah Voxland of Savage made sure to mention the crafts, ultimately, those bonds are what keep the girls coming back each week. “I think it’s nice that we help and it’s more fun because we’re with friends,” said 10-year-old Kayla O’Keefe of Burnsville. “It’s important because if you just hang out, you don’t think about who needs the help,” Molly said, adding that she’s more likely to keep doing community service even after the summerclub parts ways. “Everyone says to me, ‘You’re doing work. What kind of lame club is that?’ But it’s fun.”

PRIOR LAKE-SAVAGE SCHOOLS

BY MERYN FLUKER mfluker@swpub.com

When Marcus Milazzo was a young student at Jane Addams Elementary School in Palatine, Ill., he went to the school library one day, and his life changed. The school had just received its first and only Apple IIe computer and the principal Marcus volunteered Milazzo to show off the machine’s features, including the very advanced for its time dot matrix printer. “He made it a point to say, ‘Now watch, it prints forwards and backwards,’ and I remember watching that and going, ‘This is so cool,’” Milazzo said. “I think what really hooked me was the principal taking the time to show me that computer, showing me the internal components, showing me how the dot matrix printer worked – just taking the time to say, ‘Hey look at this.’ I remember it like it was yesterday.” Milazzo’s early tech activities included spending days with a friend programming a rocket launch on his Commodore 64, playing on his Atari 400 and logging monitor time with Apple classics like “Odell Lake” and, of course, “Oregon Trail.” From that Apple IIe decades ago, Milazzo has now graduated to Apple’s latest innovations, the iPad and the iPhone (in fact, Milazzo was one of the many people waiting in line upon the release of the first iPhone in 2007). Milazzo doesn’t claim to be a Mac guy, however, saying that he embraces “all different types of tech.” Just as technology has grown, Milazzo said he’s grown with it. Once the student, Milazzo is now in his 12th year as a technology coordinator. He officially began his latest position, as the Prior Lake-Savage Area School District’s new technology coordinator, on July 1. He comes to District 719 from Faribault Public Schools, making the same leap as former director of business affairs Margo Nash. Milazzo’s new role – which incorporates additional tasks with duties performed by the previous technology coordinator, a job eliminated in 2010 due to budget cuts – came about as the result of a reorganization of the district’s technology department. He will lead a nine-person team and report to Director of

Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Jeff Holmberg. After graduating from Palatine High School in 1990, Milazzo went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in social science from St. Mary’s University of Minnesota in Winona, where he also earned his teaching license and a master of arts degree in instruction. There, he wrote a thesis on using computer technology in the classroom. In 1996, Milazzo began a three-year stint teaching freshman world geography at Litchfield High School before becoming the district’s technology director, a position he held for more than five years. From there, he landed in Faribault. Milazzo goes home to St. Paul each evening to Sarah, his wife of eight years – their ninth anniversary is coming up on Monday, July 11 – and his children: daughter Sophia, 6, and son Frank, who is almost 18 months old. Milazzo is the kind of guy who purchased a computer online for the first time, got two from the company, and returned the extra. “I remember they shipped me two of them so I sent the other one back,” he said before recalling his end of a conversation with customer service. “I bought one, you shipped two … I don’t need two computers, I didn’t buy two; come get the second one.” Already on Milazzo’s slate is overseeing a $1.22 million communications overhaul, which includes upgrading the district’s data network and switching district phones to Voice-over Internet Protocol (VOIP). The district is also switching e-mail providers, from Novell GroupWise to Microsoft Outlook, and all of these changes are set to be complete in time for the first day of the next school year. Milazzo sat down on his second day on the job to discuss his past and present – and District 719’s technological future.

Q AND A WITH MARCUS MILAZZO What have you been up to in the first two days? We’ve been very busy. We have restructured and reorganized the information technology department, so we’ve been in the process of interviewing for open positions and we’re trying to complete that team. We’ve been busy doing that and I’ve been trying to get up to speed and familiarize myself with all of the projects that are taking place this summer. There’s a Voiceover IP project, there’s an infrastructure upgrade project. We have an Outlook

Milazzo’s mad about… Cold weather. When Milazzo graduated college in 1994, he drove to Alaska to run a river office for a guide service. He spent four and a half months living in the tack room of a barn, opening the office each day, checking guests in and making sure they had fishing licenses. He even met former Utah Jazz player Karl Malone and “Runaround” performers Blues Traveler when they ventured to the 49th state for some fishing. Chicago sports. Milazzo, who has played hockey since age 5 – he’s a right wing – and coached the sport as a teacher in Litchfield, Minn., describes himself as a “die-hard Chicago sports fan.” The Chicago Blackhawks are his favorite hockey team, though he supports the Wild “as long as they’re not playing my Blackhawks.” He’s also loyal to the Chicago Bears and White Sox. One Chicago team he doesn’t cheer for? The cursed Chicago Cubs. “I actively root against the Cubs,” he said.

project coming down the pike. Do you think that impacts working in the schools? Yes. I think it gives me perspective. I can relate to parents’ thoughts, wishes and dreams for their kids because I have those same wishes, dreams and aspirations for my kids. I try to treat everyone I work with the way I want to be treated. I want Sophia and Frank to have those same wonderful experiences I did growing up in public schools. It inspires me and it motivates me. You said you were always incorporating technology in your classroom [as a teacher]. How? I actually used programs like the “Oregon Trail,” later versions. The kids loved it. They were engaged. They were excited to go to the lab. They were engaged in the learning process. That’s when, really, the light bulb went off. I said, “Wow, this is a teaching tool that I can utilize to enhance student achievement and learning.” Did your students respond to it in a way different than maybe more traditional methods of teaching? I think so. It seemed to me they were more engaged in the learning process. There is a time and place for lecture, and there’s a time and place for reading out loud or reading silently; those are all great teaching tools and methods. Using some of these tech tools engaged students in their own learning. I saw them working harder – staying late, showing up early. Do you ever think you’ll go back to the classroom? I loved teaching and coaching. I do miss it. I miss the interaction with

students. You build working relationships with the kids, you see them grow from day one until the last day of the school year, so I do miss that interaction. The jobs are so different, they’re very different to compare. In fact, I don’t think it is a fair comparison. I have the flexibility of going out to each individual building. When you’re a teacher, you’re in your classroom, you’re in your hallway, you’re in your department, you might coach after school or before school, so it’s a different scope. It’s just different. With this job, I can visit every school. I can go to a kindergarten class or I can go to a senior class.

Is that something you hope to do as tech coordinator, get out to all the different buildings and go to classrooms at times? Absolutely. It’s one of my top priorities. I already did site tours when I was still transitioning in. I was able to see all the buildings. I stopped in, I was invited into a couple elementary classrooms and asked the kids how things were going. One of my top priorities is to be visible, be out in the buildings and working with all of our stakeholders. I think it is critical to the position. Can I do a lot of my job from my desk? Yes. Can I do a lot of my job from a smartphone in my car, when it’s parked safely? Yes, of course I can. But I am a people person and I value working relationships and in order to create those, you need to be out in the buildings and meet people and work with them in person. That’s just very important to me. We have a lot of tools to communicate, a lot of technology allows us to communicate rapidly, but there is something to be said for meeting with people.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS

Charges: Man chokes woman, ﬂees police A Shakopee man, 28-yearold Br yan Beckwith, faces multiple charges for allegedly choking the mother of his child and f leeing police through a swampy wooded area. Police could hear yelling and fighting in the background when they were called to a home on Dominion Avenue for a domestic assault at 4 a.m. May 20. Police said Beckwith fled in a gray Pontiac before officers arrived. The woman, who had a domestic no-contact order against Beckwith, told police Beckwith

had been yelling at her, telling her she was a bad mother, when she threatened to call police and he grabbed her cell phone. She said Beckwith threw her to the ground and began choking her with his right hand. She punched him in the nose to get a way and then went to anther phone to dial 911. He allegedly grabbed her by the throat again, throwing her down. She bit him, which made him let go, and he ran upstairs. Beckwith then awoke the victim’s brother and demanded a ride. After police pulled the car over, Beckwirth took off running into the woods. Police located Beckwit h a hal f-mile west of County

Road 17, hidden in a swampy wooded area. He refused to obey officers’ commands and threatened to spit at the officers, police said. He is being held in Scott County Jail on $200,000 bail. He has charged in Scott County District Court with domestic assault and violation of nocontact order, both felonies, and interfering with a 911 call and a police officer, both gross misdemeanors. Formerly of Savage, Beckwith has had three previous domestic violence-related convictions within the past 10 years and served close to two years in prison for a burglary in Hennepin County.

Awesome bathroom upgrades for less than $200

beautiful bathroom can be uplifting on many levels: it improves your home’s resale value and provides you with a welcoming environment in one of the mostused rooms of your house. If your bathroom has become the room in the house you least want to visit, it may be time to consider some cost-effective upgrades. A mid-range bathroom remodel can cost, on average, around $16,000 (and return 64 percent of that cost at the time of resale), according to Remodeling Magazine’s 2011 Cost vs. Value Report. You don’t have to spend thousands, however, to give your bathroom a fresh look. Here are some high-impact, awesome upgrades that you can accomplish for less than $200 each:

Work those walls

Paint is still the cheapest, easiest way to freshen a room’s look and that’s true even in the bathroom. While painting a bath can be a bit more complicated than other rooms because of obstructions like mirrors, showers and tubs, it’s still a project well within the abilities of most do-it-yourself types. Good paint can be had for as little as $25, and most bathrooms will only need a gallon or two.

Once you’ve repainted, consider adding a wallpaper mural. You’ve probably always thought adding wallpaper in a bath was risky, given the room’s usual humidity. But modern wallpaper options, like SmartStick by MuralsYourWay. com, can easily hold up to bathroom conditions. A patented adhesive allows you to easily place the material on nearly any surface—walls, windows, that architectural niche above your bathtub— pull it down, reposition it, and even move the moisture resistant mural to a different wall. You can even customize with your own wall photo by using your own original photography. Submit your photo through the website and the company creates a custom mural using your artwork.

Lighten up

Lighting is another low-cost way to renovate a bathroom. If your bathroom sports a utilitarian overhead ﬁ xture, or a dressing-room-style light bar above the mirror, you can create a whole new look for the room by replacing those lights with one—or more—contemporary styles. Because our bathrooms serve several functions, bathroom lighting should be ﬂexible too. Design pros often place more than one light source in bathrooms, even if the room is relatively small.

Adding a couple of wall sconces in addition to a main light source costs little but allows you to lower lighting in the bathroom when you’re in the mood for relaxation. And a strong, overhead light source provides practical illumination for putting on make-up or shaving for example. It’s easy to ﬁnd cost-effective lighting options at your local home improvement store.

Little things mean a lot

You can also make several small changes in a bath that will have a big impact, from swapping out cabinet hardware to replacing an existing straight shower rod with a curved one. Depending on which projects you choose, you could accomplish several for less than $200 total.

Installing a new showerhead or hand-held showerhead.

Other small but mighty steps include:

Choosing coordinating bath accessories such as a cup and toothbrush holder.

Replacing dated faucets.

Swapping the old toilet seat for a new one. Replacing accessory hardware like towel bars and robe hooks with newer, matching ones.

Adding new towels and bath mats. When it comes to upgrading the bathroom, virtually any improvement has value, both in terms of enjoyment and resale. Fortunately, value doesn’t have to come at a high cost when you make simple, cost-effective improvements. Source: ARA Content

GIRLS HOCKEY

Grossman steps down as Lakers’ coach, on his way to Eden Prairie BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

The Prior Lake girls hockey team is again looking for a new coach. After one season, Jaime Grossman stepped down as the Lakers coach and to take the head position at Eden Prairie, a Section 2AA rival. Grossman said the decision to walk away from the Lakers’ program was not easy. “I feel that I’m leaving with some unfi nished business,” said Grossman. “I told the girls this has nothing to do with them, but more with professionally where I’m at right now. “I’m excited for Prior Lake’s future,” added Grossman. “There’s a ton of young talent coming up.” Grossman is the director of Kid’s & Company, an afterschool childcare program in Hopkins School District 270. Grossman has coached girls hockey for 15 years (14 at Holy Angels, including seven as the

NORTHERN LIGHTS

head coach there). His day job has been flexible enough to allow him to coach. However, Grossman said due to budget cuts in the Hopkins School District that might not be the case this coming year and the Eden Prairie job is simply more suited for him professionally right now. “I see myself as a high school coach for another five to 10 years,” said Grossman. “Eden Prairie has one of the top two or three programs in the state. That job has always been on my radar. When it came open, it made sense at this time professionally for me to apply for it.” Grossman said the Prior Lake community and the school were very supportive of him in his one year with the Lakers. “Everything I asked for when I got to Prior Lake, I got,” said Grossman. “I had great support from the community. The group of kids I coached worked hard on and off the ice. They came to the rink with a positive attitude. “For me, it was harder to leave Prior Lake after one year then it was leaving Holy Angels

after 14,” added Grossman. “By no means was this an easy decision.” Grossman led the Lakers to a 9-18 overall mark in his one season, 6-12 in the team’s first season in the new South Suburban Conference (SSC). The Lakers were a better team than their overall record indicated. The team lost its fi rst nine games making the adjustment from the Missota Conference to the more competitive SSC with nine former Lake Conference schools. Prior Lake won its second-ever playoff game last winter since becoming a Class AA school eight years ago, beating rival Shakopee 6-0 in the Section 2AA quarterfi nals, before losing to perennial power Edina in the semifi nals. At Holy Angels, Grossman had a career winning percentage of .771. The Stars won five straight Missota Conference titles (2004 to 2008) and made two state appearances in his tenure. Holy Angels won the Class A state title in 2005 and was a state participant in Class AA in 2006.

Blaze seniors shine for their club squads

BY JIM BURNS Correspondent

BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

Allison Butler and Camille Benson will no doubt be focal points for the Burnsville volleyball team this fall. The two seniors were also key members for their respective Mizuno Northern Lights teams that played in back-to -back nationa l tournaments to end the club season. Butler was on the 17-2 team that fi nished second at United State Junior National Championships (USJNC) in Atlanta June 28 to July 2. Butler also helped her team win the America Athletic Union (AAU) national title in Orlando, Fla. June 17-23. Meanwhile, Benson competed on the Northern Lights’ 17-1 team that took third at the AAU national tourney and was 22nd competing in the 17open division at the USJNC. Butler will be entering her fifth season on the Blaze’s varsity this fall. Last year, she did pretty much everything in helping the team to a 14-15 overall record in coach Kim Hook’s fi rst season. Butler led the team in set assists (494) and ace serves (50), was second in kills (184) and blocks (53) and third in digs (162). Butler played setter and right-side hitter for her 17-2 team that featured three other players from the South Suburban Conference (SSC) – Eliza Zachary and Kelley Wollak of Bloomington Jefferson and Maren Loe of Apple Valley. Benson had a terrific junior season with the Blaze. She was named first-team, allstate by the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Regarded as one of the top liberos (defensive specialist) in the state, she finished with 458 digs last season in the team’s rebuilding year. Benson and Butler were a big part of the Blaze’s 2009 team that won the Section 3A A A tit le and f inished third at the Class AAA state tournament. It was the program’s best-ever state fi nish and fi rst appearance since 1998 and third overall (1996 was the fi rst year).

Josh Biezuns (44) is entering his final season at the University of Wyoming. The 2007 Prior Lake High School graduate will start his second season at defensive end for the Cowboys.

Former Laker standout Josh Biezuns found his niche rushing the passer for the University of Wyoming

Life in the college trenches BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

If Josh Biezuns has proved one thing in his Division I football career at the University of Wyoming, it’s that he’s versatile. However, the 2007 Prior Lake High School graduate has proven much more than that. Biezuns is making a name for himself in the trenches in the Mountain West Conference (MWC). The 6-foot-2-inch, 260pound defensive end led the team in sacks last year (6.5) and in tackles for losses (10.5). He enters his senior year as a preseason selection on the AllMountain West team by The Sporting News. Not bad for someone who was recruited to play offense for the Cowboys, redshirting his first year while learning to play tight end and h-back. He was moved to fullback his second year. As a sophomore, Biezuns was moved to defense under a new coaching regime, where he played linebacker in a 3-4 scheme before finally finding a home on the defensive line last season.

“Biezuns is a physical presence at defensive end,” said Wyoming coach Dave Christensen. “He’s a great pass rusher and a big-time Josh playmaker. Biezuns Josh has made a lot of big plays since he moved from linebacker to defensive end.” Biezuns earned secondteam All-Mountain West Conference accolades last year. He was second in the MWC in sacks per game and 59th nationally, while his tackles for losses were fifth best in the conference. Heading into this season, Biezuns will be one of the Cowboys’ defensive anchors. And it will also be the first time in his college career he won’t have to learn a new position. “I’ve been swapped around quite a bit,” said Biezuns. “It’s a relief not having to go into fall camp and learn a new

technique or a new position. “I’m excited about my senior year,” added Biezuns. “I hope it’s a good one.” Last year, the Cowboys were 3-9 overall, 1-7 in conference play. Biezuns said he expects the team to contend for the MWC crown this fall. “We feel we have a good team, especially a good senior class,” said Biezuns. “We have a lot of leadership. We feel we are a good enough team to compete for a conference championship.” As a fifth-year senior, Biezuns will also take on more of a leadership role. “The (younger players) look to you for a lot of leadership, so I will take it upon myself to step up as a senior and help the younger guys along as much as I can, as well as other guys on the team,” he said. Biezuns wasn’t heavily recruited coming out of Prior Lake, where he was a threeyear letterwinner, earning AllMissota Conference honors as both a fullback and a linebacker his senior year. He was the team’s most valuable player in his final Lakers’

season, helping the team to a 5-4 record. In fact, Biezuns said that early in his senior year he only heard from a couple of Division III schools. It wasn’t until a month before national signing day in the spring when Wyoming invited him to the campus for a visit. When he was offered the program’s last scholarship for that year, he jumped at the chance. “I wanted to pursue my dream of playing Division I college football,” said Biezuns. “So I came out here and rolled with it.” Biezuns has made the most of his opportunity, despite being moved around his first three years. Is the next level – professional football, whether it’s in the NFL or even CFL – on Biezuns’ radar? It is, although he said he tries not to think about it too much. For him to be considered by the pros, he understands he’s going to have to take care of his business on the field first.

Dundas’ Donny Reuvers grabbed the lead on a 22nd lap restart and then withstood a late challenge to win the Super Late Models Feature July 2 at Elko Speedway. Reuvers’ pursuit of the checkered fl ag was a combination of a litt le luck, mixed with patience and fi nally horsepower. He was the fastest qualifier at 13.960 seconds (96.705 mph) and was second in his heat, before taking the 40-lap main event.

On the restart, Reuvers charged by Lakeville’s Conrad Jorgenson’s outside to take the point, but the top five would shuffle as Mark Lamoreaux charged into Brian Johnson’s back deck entering turn two. That caused the tandem to check up with Adam Royle and Steve Anderson taking advantage moving to fourth and fifth. Lamoreaux and Johnson dropped to sixth and seventh. As the action remained clean and green following the caution, Goede rolled by Jorgenson for second on lap 31 and cut the leaders’ advantage to three car lengths as the white flag flew. But in the end Reuvers rolled to the checkers with Goede second. Royle edged Jorgenson at the line for third.

SPORTS BRIEFS

Busy night of driving Martin wins twice in Figure 8s BY TOM SCHARDIN tschardin@swpub.com

Ricky Martin of Farmington had a busy July 3 night at Raceway Park in Shakopee. Not only did he stay atop the point standings in Figure 8s, winning two of three feature races. He also took third in the Thunder 8 Cycles, winning one of the two qualifying heats.

In Big 8s, Prior Lake’s Doug Brown served notice early that he would contend throughout the 25 laps. But Moore had different ideas. At the drop of the green, Ryan Kamish took the early lead with Moore moving past Mike Pederson for second on lap two with Jon Lemke and Travis Stanley of Prior Lake continuing Pederson’s slide on lap four. Just five laps in, Moore would move to the outside of Kamish to take the point with Brown joining the top five, before Stanley ducked under Lemke for third on lap seven. Over the fi nal 18 laps, the capacity crowd was treated

Sabila of Chaska was third and Justin Schelitzche was fourth. Schelitzche is third in the point standings with 492, followed by Jack Purcell of Bloomington (486) and Blake Dorweiler of Montgomery (476). In Short Trackers, Paulsrud’s win moved him a little closer to points leader Erica Waibel of Shakopee, who leads with 463. Paulsrud has 454. Waibel was second in the feature race, while Robert Backe of Golden Valley was third. Andrew Benhardus of Minnetonka is third overall in the points (435), followed by Matthew Schaar of Hastings (411) and Kevin Beamish of Minnetonka (401). I n Hobby Stocks, K a ne leads the points race with 436, followed by Bryan Turtle of Chaska (418), Arthur Woodworth of Chanhassen (413), Jeremy Wolff of Chaska and Michael Gilomen of Northfield (both with 411). The Hobby Stocks’ feature July 3 was a non-points race. In Bombers, Justin Kotchevar of Shakopee leads the points standings with 519, 11 better than Evans. John Zumberge of Lexington is third (500), followed by Adam Oxborough of New Prague (479) and Andrew Bisek of Belle Plaine (474). Zumberge and Kotchevar finished second and third, respectively to Evans in the Bombers feature, while Oxborough was fourth. to some of the season’s best side-by-side action, but nobody had an answer for Moore who earned the checkers with Stanley earning his third consecutive top-two fi nish with Brown in third. In Thunder Cars, there was a familiar tandem battling as Kane rolled past Ted Reuvers for the opening-lap lead with Dylan Sellner and Mike Homan in a great side-by-side battle for third and fourth. As Kane pulled out to an early five-car length advantage over Reuvers, Sellner was able to wrest third away from Homan on lap five. With the action remaining under the green flag for the entire distance, the only question remaining to be answered was could Reuvers track down Kane? The answer was a resounding no.

BIEZUNS continued from page 13

A productive senior year will only enhance his draft prospects. Biezuns admits he’s a little undersized to play defensive end even at the Division I level. But he’s found a way to compensate for his lack of size with speed and determination. “I can get off the ball quicker being a smaller guy,”

(23-30-3 in the Missota), but was 0-4 in the playoffs. Grossma n’s seven-yea r record with Holy Angels was 228-171-10. He was 144-77-7 in the Missota, including a mark of 68-2 in the five straight years he won the league crown. He was named the 2005 Class A Coach of the Year. said Biezuns. “I have pretty good speed, so I can utilize that against the bigger offensive tackles.” Biezuns is a sociology who is on track to graduate in December. So his focus is squarely on that right now and on his final year. Afterward, he’ll see if he has any pro stock. “It’s always been a dream of mine to play at the (pro) level,” said Biezuns. “With a good year, it’s always a possibility.”

Soccer winners The Prior Lake C1 U15 girls soccer team recently won the Border battle Tournament in Hudson, Wis.

The event was created by the Prior Lake Rotary, and is presented by Mystic Lake Casino Hotel and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community which donated $50,000 to support the event. The SMSC also donated $50,000 to present the first Lakefront Jazz and Blues Festival in 2010. “We are absolutely honored to have Buddy Guy headlining this year’s festival,” said Shaun Naya, event and fundraising co-chair for the Prior Lake Rotary. “He is an extraordinarily talented musician that will highlight an amazing day of jazz and blues music.” George “Buddy” Guy has a colossal musical resume and hardearned accolades including being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He’s a chief guitar influence to rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, and has received six Grammy Awards, the Billboard Magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement the Presidential National Medal of Arts and 23 W.C. Handy Blues Awards—the most of any artist. In addition to Guy, other performers scheduled to entertain festival guests include: Quinn Sullivan, a 12-year-old guitar prodigy who began playing the guitar when he was three. Sullivan caught the attention of Ellen DeGeneres in 2006 and was personally invited by Buddy Guy

to join him on tour in 2011. His new record Cyclone explores many styles ranging from scorching blues and rock ’n’ roll, to pop-oriented ballads, all while showcasing his incredible guitar skills. Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real brings their mix of blues and Southern-folk-rock talents to the festival this year, promising to stay true to their musical roots. Nelson honed his singing and songwriting skills growing up on the road with his famous father. The band has toured with everyone from B.B. King and Dave Matthews Band to Blues Traveler and Creedence Clearwater Revisited. Headed by Pat “Lamont” Hayes, The Lamont Cranston Blues Band will feature Bruce McCabe as a special guest. From clubs, concert halls and festivals, to auditoriums and stadiums, the band has shared the stage with many blues legends, including Muddy Waters, Charlie Musselwhite, The Blues Brothers and Bonnie Raitt. A recent contestant on NBC’s “The Voice,” Minnesota musical artist Tim Mahoney was influenced by R.E.M., U2 and Sam Cooke. A mainstay in the Twin Cities music scene for over 10 years and Prior Lake native, Mahoney’s raspy voice and bittersweet lyrics are still winning people over. Contemporary guitarist and vocalist Steve Oliver brings his multi-genre music covering world, contemporary, soul and pop to the festival. Recently nominated as International Instrumentalist of the Year for 2010 by the Wave Awards, Oliver has phenomenal capabilities of incorporating global music styles with a mix of pop/rock/ soul and contemporary, bringing a fresh, chart-topping sound as an unparalleled guitarist and signature vocalist.

Mexican-American saxophonist/singer Jessy J is already a jazz sensation with her sizzling mix of hot beats, Latin and samba rhythms and instantly captivating melodies. The 31-yearold has received high accolades, including Radio and Records “Debut Artist of The Year,” and contemporary jazz song of the year by R&R and Billboard for the title track of her debut album, Tequila Moon. Last year’s event attracted more than 14,000 people to Lakefront Park and this year again will include “Lil’ Louie’s Music Camp” – a special area just for kids with free activities like painting, jazz dance, crafts and musical games – as well as a variety of food and beverage vendors, and an artisans shopping area. “We look forward to offering a great day of music and are excited to once again bring a strong lineup of musicians and family entertainment to this year’s festival,” said Event Co-Chair Dave Card. “From the very beginning, it was our goal to create a family-friendly musical event while showcasing our beautiful city, and raising money to continue the philanthropic vision of the Prior Lake Rotary.” Mystic Lake Casino Hotel is also offering a Lakefront Jazz and Blues Festival hotel package for visitors.
