Area will feel state budget pain Transit funds cut; schools to borrow BY SHANNON FIECKE & KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com; sfiecke@swpub.com

After the loss of two of its busiest weekends and 12 days of racing,

Canterbury Park will open today, but without the news that could have salved its pain. Local legislators say they had the votes to pass a racino during the special session that ended the state government shutdown, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the legislation heard on the floor. Sen. Claire Robling, R-Jordan, who spent late hours this last week fi nal-

izing details in bills, said she had the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agreement but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in on the last meeting where the list of bills was fi nalized. The Republican leadership felt it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the votes to include a racino, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they were wrong. I had been counting the votes and we worked really hard to get them,â&#x20AC;? she said Wednesday morning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just

the right time yesterday when people were thinking the school shifts and how to pay it back. We had some votes we might normally not have had.â&#x20AC;? Both she and Rep. Michael Beard, R-Shakopee, who threatened to reject the budget deal without racino legislation, were crushed. Beard said more than enough spare votes were there to pass it, but

not enough to suspend the rules to hear the racino separate from prenegotiated bills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is just breaking my heart. Canterbury and the whole industry were really given the shaft,â&#x20AC;? said Beard, who worries if Canterbury will be able to make it. With the racetrack

his is a tale of two very special dogs who are also remarkably normal. Daisy, 10, is completely blind. Duke, her 6-year-old offspring, has become her seeing-eye dog. The two are inseparable. If they get too far apart, Daisy barks and Duke runs to her side. Duke watches out for her and guides her throughout the house and yard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he even taught her how to maneuver through the doggy door of their foster home just outside of Prior Lake. Daisy and Duke had a family once, until one day they found themselves lying on the concrete floor of a shelter, their family having lost its home to foreclosure. They spent months in that Nebraska shelter, the fur on their elbows so worn down by the

The yellow labs came within about 24 hours of being euthanized because the shelter couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a suitable home for them.

The boat had some holes, which they duck-taped over. Seven boys from the neighborhood helped carry the boat atop a wheelbarrow down First Avenue and took turns paddling on the pond before the oldest bunch took the boat on the river itself for a short jaunt. “There’s nothing that duct tape won’t fix,” said one of the boys.

Spanish-speaker law clinic set July 28 BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

The U.S. legal system is a confusing web of legalese, processes and forms. It ’s h a r d for a nyone t o navigate the courts, let alone someone who doesn’t speak English The Volunteer Lawyers Network and the Scott County Law Library are hosting a free Spanish-speakers law clinic Thursday, July 28 for area residents to get advice in their native tongue on issues pertaining to family, housing, immigration, criminal and consumer law.

Maytag® Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator • 22 cu. ft. capacity • Rated CEE Tier 3* • Clear deli drawer and gallon door bin provide flexible storage. • Spill-Catcher™ glass shelves help contain spills for easy cleanup • Electronic Dual Cool® system automatically monitors temperature • Glide-out freezer drawer with SmoothClose™ drawer track system *Based on the Consortiem for Energy Efficiency qualfied product ratings.

The clinic is the second of its kind for the Law Library, which hosted a similar one in March. That clinic, led by two volunteer attorneys, drew more than 40 people in two hours and had to turn some people away. Scott County Law Librarian Mary Freyberg was excited by the response. “It showed us that there really is a need for this,” she said. Next week, VLN is bringing more attorneys to provide pro bono legal advice. Five lawyers and five law students will be assisting at the walk-in clinic. Identification and reservations are not necessary; however, attendees should bring a

paystub or proof of public assistance to verify their income, Freyberg said. VLN serves low-income individuals and families. The verification can also be used for an application of a courtfee waiver, said VLN attorney Diana Larson. “We help a lot of people who are unrepresented navigate the court system without having to retain an attorney,” she said. The lawyers will address questions on a variety issues, like immigration status, tenants’ rights and criminal cases. A family law attorney will also be available to discuss divorce, child custody, support

and paternity. Formed in 1966, the lawyers’ network hosts weekly Spanish-speaking law clinics in Minneapolis and St. Paul but saw a need in Scott County, Larson said. “Just for people to be educated and have access to an attorney [who] they can asked questions to is huge,” Larson said. “It’s a huge hurdle to get over.” The clinic is first-come, firstserved and runs from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Shakopee Public Library, 235 Lewis St. S. Contact the Scott County Law Library at (952) 496-8713 for more information.

Why a home remodel may be better than a savings account

re you keeping your home longer than you expected, due to the sluggish and uncertain home resale market? If you are, you’ve got company. Only 43 percent of homeowners believe they would get their asking price if they sold today, according to the latest American Express Spending & Saving Tracker. That lack of confidence, coupled with interest rates on personal savings accounts that are at or near record lows, has a lot of homeowners investing in their homes instead of depositing money in their banks. In fact, nearly two-thirds of homeowners will be remodeling in 2011, says American Express. Improving your home can be a smart strategy over the long run. In the meantime, it can make your home more comfortable and convenient while you’re living there. Now is the time to ask yourself if putting your hard-earned savings into your house is right for you. You won’t see the return on your investment in the near-term, but when you factor in a quicker sale or higher sale price, you could end up with more

proﬁt than savings account interest rates can provide.

breaking through ﬂoors or jackhammering concrete.

Improvements that pay

Unlike conventional gravity plumbing, up-ﬂush systems pump waste and water from toilets, showers, sinks, wet bars and washing machines upward. Small-diameter piping carries the waste into the sewer or septic tank. For more information on this cost-effective plumbing option, visit www. saniﬂo.com.

Experts recommend that you stick to improvements likely to increase your home’s resale appeal and value. There’s no such thing as a guaranteed return on investment, but some home improvements have a better value track record than others. A basement remodel will recoup 70 percent of its cost at resale, according to the 20102011 Remodeling Magazine Cost vs. Value Report. Adding a bathroom returns more than 53 percent of your investment, while modernizing a kitchen can bring back 72.8 percent.

Build a bath: If you plan to install a bathroom, laundry or wet bar in an area that lacks below-ﬂoor plumbing drainage, you can dramatically reduce your installation costs with macerating technology. Installing drainage in a basement, attic or garage can be messy, time-consuming and expensive. But with macerating, or upﬂush, technology, you can have plumbing virtually anywhere in your home, without

plan and three months to build, according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association. You can improve the overall look and feel of a kitchen with a lot less work and money simply by refurbishing what you have. Some refurbishing options include refaced cabinets instead of new, resurfaced countertops or an added backsplash, updated ﬂooring and under-cabinet task lighting. Regardless of the project you plan to undertake, there are a few things you can do to ensure you get the most for your money. Here are some general tips from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI):

Want to make your new bath seem larger? Let the light in! If a skylight isn’t in the budget, use recessed ceiling lights and large mirrors. Also, choose a warm semi-gloss paint and install 12-inch by 12-inch or larger ﬂoor tiles to minimize grout lines.

• Establish a budget:

A walk-in shower is a smart and costeffective space-saver. If you don’t need storage space, a pedestal sink is another good alternative. Two sureﬁre ways to give the illusion of space are a recessed medicine cabinet and a pocket door instead of a traditional hinged door.

• Hire a qualiﬁed remodeler who is familiar with local building codes. • Compare products and prices before you begin. • Work with a contract.

City ponders fate of downtown fire station BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

As a new fi re station goes up at Lions Park, the city of Shakopee is pondering what to do with the downtown fi re station it is replacing. Built in 1955 on the corner of Second Avenue and Scott Street, the 10,700-square-foot building is valued by the county at $1.3 million. This drew a laugh from Shakopee City Council members. “I don’t believe them,” said Assistant City Administrator Kris Wilson. “I wish it were.” T he f i r e st at ion, wh ich originally housed a municipal garage, was remodeled extensively in 1976 when the city Public Works Department moved to Gorman Street. A new roof was added and stucco work was completed in 2004 to extend its life.

Kris Wilson

Steve Clay

“At this time the roof is sound and the mechanicals are functioning, so it seems the best time to try to sell building,” said Wilson. With the growth in the city, the Fire Department wanted a more centrally located station at Lions Park. Additionally, the downtown station was due for another round of mechanical improvements and suffers from a lack of space around the building, which requires hoses to be stretched out on sidewalks and the street to be blocked in order to back in the fi retrucks.

A challenge to selling the building could be that it doesn’t meet setback requirements. “It takes up almost every inch of land,” said Wilson. No city department sees a use for the downtown building, Wilson said. Public Works doesn’t need additional storage room. Wilson suggested the city come up with a plan for how it wants to go about selling the building and at what price so it can dispose of the building soon after the move to the new fi re station. “If you leave empty space long enough it starts becoming the city’s basement or attic,” she said at a recent meeting. Wilson said it’s been a while since the city has sold a building, so it would also have to determine whether to put the station up for auction or list it with a real estate fi rm. City councilors indicated they would be OK with selling the building but would want it done with due diligence.

Councilor Steve Clay, a Scott County appraiser, wouldn’t surmise a guess at how much the fi re hall might be worth. “I have absolutely no idea, but I do think we should try to fi nd out before we go off and talk to Realtors who have an interest in what it’s listed for — the cheaper, the quicker they make money,” he said. Clay suggested the city hire a local commercial appraiser to determine the building’s worth, how realistic it might be to sell the property at this time and whether a better option might be to lease the building until the market improves. “I think if the county values it at $1.3 million, we should tell them, ‘sold’ and they can have it,” joked Councilor Pat Heitzman. Construction of the new five-bay station at Lions Park is estimated to be fi nished in November. S h a n n on F i e c k e c an b e reached at (952) 345 -6679 or sfiecke@swpub.com.

A 20-year-old Shakopee man who made off with a pizza and $140 from a Domino’s delivery driver is headed to prison in St. Cloud. Allen Mitchell Gardner held-up the pizza delivery driver at knifepoint outside the Clifton Townhomes last August. He held a large knife in a leather sheaf and ordered the man to turn over his wallet, counting down from five. Scott County District Court Judge Terrence Conkel sentenced Gardner last month to 21 Allen months in prison. He may be given conditional Gardner release after he serves two-thirds of his sentence. Detectives were clued into Gardner when a townhome resident recognized the description of him and his 15-year-old accomplice in the Shakopee Valley News. Police were also able to trace Domino’s phone records to a friend of Gardner’s. Gardner was also sentenced to a month in jail for the theft of electronics from his 15-year-old accomplice’s sister in September. The boy’s mother suspected her son and Gardner of stealing the iPod Nano, iPod dock and DVD player. Gardner pawned the items at Pawn Exchange in Shakopee and they were recovered. Up until that point, Gardner had a fairly light criminal record: marijuana possession, disorderly conduct, gross-misdemeanor domestic abuse and driving after revocation.

Lovers’ spat may have led to beating A Shakopee man says he was beaten with a bat and strangled after he began dating his roommate’s girlfriend. The roommate, Todd Douglas Pickart, 23, and his brother, Ryan Patrick Pickart, 25, were recently charged with assaulting the man on June 14 at his apartment on 12th Avenue W. Todd Pickart lived with the man until the roommate began dating Pickart’s girlfriend. The victim asked Pickart to move out of the apartment three days prior to alleged assault, according to court documents. The victim says he and his girlfriend were in bed when a vehicle pulled up to his apartment. He told police the Pickart brothers began pounding on his doors, yelling for him to come outside and fight. The victim called police and grabbed a bat when he heard one of the men walking around the building toward the bedroom window. The brothers broke into the apartment through the window and allegedly jumped the victim, grabbing his bat. The victim said Ryan Pickart punched and kicked him while Todd Pickart hit his back and ribs with the baseball bat. He also claims Todd Pickart choked him until he became unconscious. The victim’s girlfriend told police she yelled at the brothers to stop and tried to pull them off of the victim. She said Todd Pickart pushed her at least twice and his brother told her he would hit her with the bat if he she did not stop. Todd Pickart told police he had come by the apartment to pick up his belongings and entered through the window because the front door was locked. He said he saw the victim and the woman in the home together and came into the apartment even though the victim told him he had a baseball bat. He said he chose not to call police because he thought the matter could be handed “civilly.” He also thought he had a right to be there. Todd Pickart further said he and brother took the baseball bat and were grabbing his belongings and placing them in the car. He couldn’t recall what happened in the home and who hit whom. He admitted placing the victim in a headlock, but claimed it was in self-defense. He said he knew the victim and the woman were intimate before he and the woman broke up, but it did not bother him. He said, however, that his brother was very upset by

If you were planning to run for city office this year, you might want to check your calendar to make sure you have the right deadline for the fi ling period. The city has three positions on the Nov. 8 ballot this fall: Mayor (two-year term) and two city councilor seats (four-year terms). Residents can file for election from Aug. 2 to 16 at Shakopee City Hall, 129 Holmes St. S. between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The fi ling fee is $5. For more information, call (952) 233-9315. Originally, the filing period was to be later in August; however, the governor signed legislation in late May that moved up the fi ling dates.

When officers fi rst arrived, the brothers were running from the residence. An officer commanded them by gunpoint to get down on the ground. Todd Pickart listened, while his brother got into their car. Ryan Pickart allegedly remained uncooperative while being arrested and was Tasered after he repeatedly tried to get out of the squad car. He was transferred to St. Francis Regional Medical Center after admitting he recently used morphine. He had to be physically restrained at the hospital. Todd Pickart is charged with strangulation and second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon (both felonies) and misdemeanor domestic assault.

Man accused of assault found with knives A young Shakopee man accused of beating up his girlfriend allegedly pounced on a police officer, causing her to fall down a set of stairs, after he was found hiding in an attic. Tony Patrick Bester, 19, has been charged with domestic assault and fourth-degree assault of a police officer, both felonies, for the June 20 assault, during which he was allegedly drunk. The victim told police Bester became upset with her for no reason after they’d been out and began punching her so hard in the car she almost blacked out. When they arrived home, she said she began yelling for help and hid under a table. Bester left the residence for a while. With the help of a Scott County K9, officers located Bester in the attic. He refused to come down and swore as officers lowered him from the attic. As officers attempted to escort Bester down a set of stairs, he allegedly jumped on a police officer, causing her to fall down seven stairs and injure her right knee. Police allegedly found two small kitchen knives on Bester when they arrested him. He told them he was using the knives to eat. Bester’s blood alcohol content measured 0.15 percent on a preliminary breath test, according to court records. As a minor, Bester was convicted of two domestic-related offenses (misdemeanor domestic assault and gross-misdemeanor interference with a 911 call), which elevate the current domestic assault charge to a felony. His adult record only includes underage alcohol consumption.

Two local men arrested in drug busts Two Scott County residents were charged in two drugs busts that occurred last month in Shakopee. I A 21-year-old Prior Lake man, Korbin Loren Klausen, is charged with third-degree sale of narcotics. He allegedly sold an informant four “fi fty” bags of heroin for $180 in a car outside White Castle on June 15. The substances tested positive for 1 gram of heroine. Police stopped Klausen after he drove away. He has a pending fi fth-degree drug sale charge in Scott County. I On June 22, 19-year-old Zachary Scott Pintozzi of Belle Plaine was arrested for allegedly selling methadone for $100 to an informant outside Cub Foods. Pintozzi allegedly was enrolled in the methadone program and selling his unused methadone. The prescription drug can be used as pain medication or to treat people who have become addicted to narcotic drugs such as heroin. In a search of his vehicle, police allegedly found drug paraphernalia and a leafy substance suspected to be marijuana. Compiled by Shannon Fiecke

commentary EDITORIAL

State shutdown: We deserve to be angry As of this writing, the state government shutdown — mercifully — was coming to an end. That means some 22,000 state workers can return to work and state services will once again be offered as usual. It also means that Canterbury Park can resume operations, but without at least some horses whose owners left Minnesota to find paychecks at tracks in other states. Other than that, we fi nd no reason to feel good about the settlement negotiated between DFL Gov. Mark Dayton and House Speaker Kurt Zellers and Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch, both Republicans. In fact, we feel anger, and so should citizens of Minnesota. A f ter more t ha n si x mont hs, Minnesota’s lawmakers kicked the can down the road once more, borrowed $ 700 million from schools and $ 70 0 million against future tobacco-settlement funds. We looked forward to a legislative session that promised reform. Instead, we got the same smoke-and-mirrors budgeting that simply plugs the accounting leaks here and there to “balance” the budget. On top of it, most Minnesotans can expect property tax increases again. Rather than reform, we got intransigence, particularly from freshmen Republican legislators. The GOP leadership either acquicesed or was

unable to convince them that democracy cannot work this way. There has to be some give and take. Gov. Mark Dayton put his foot down for a twoweek shutdown, rejecting a lights-on legislation that would at least allow state operations to continue, only to agree after the damage was done to an earlier GOP proposal. Rather than compromise, we got hyper-partisanship, with lawmakers more interested in drawing lines in the sand and spouting cheap rhetoric that only adds fuel to the divisive fires of governance. Meanwhile, we take from our schools. We take on more debt. The state’s credit rating drops, which will cost dearly. We accept no increase in revenue. We push our problems down the road. Minnesota, formerly admired nationally as the state whose government “works,” is now looked at as having the longest state shutdown in U.S. history and a state whose problems were, once again, simply put off until another day. We will now read opinion pieces by lawmakers pointing partisan fi ngers for this calamity. Don’t buy into it. Rather, tell them to look in the mirror. State residents deserve to feel angry. They also deserve better representation than they have now. We hope they remember this at the polling place.

Summer activities offer volunteer opportunities Today the thermometer will top 95 degrees in the shade with the air so thick it’s hard to see clearly, but that what’s we wait for up here in the north. It’s the reason people stick around (or return) after five months of winter. I like to tell people (without any prompting) that I prefer January weather to July. In the winter people up here stay inside and mind their own business. In the summer they are expected to go fairs and festivals. There aren’t too many of those in January. I like good food, but I prefer fair food, and I know I’m not alone. Last week I worked at the beef stand at Bar-B-Q Days in Belle Plaine. There were men beneath the bleachers cutting up the meat. I stay out of there as I don’t want to lose a finger. Nor am I suited for making the sandwiches and wrapping them up “just so.” I really have no business being in anything resembling a kitchen — but there I was. I had the easy job. In exchange for a ticket or two I handed over hot barbeque beef sandwiches, cold pop and water. In only a few hours hundreds were served. There were the hungry paramedics on hand to save lives, the Shriners fresh off the parade needing refreshment (“drink up Shriners”), visiting royalty in all of their glamour (I didn’t see William and Kate), mothers and their children with sweaty red faces, brutish men with their shirt sleeves hacked off politely asking for “just one,” women picking up supper for their working man (“He’ll be tired and hot when he gets home from work”), carnival workers in a hurry to get back to the rides, kids I went to school with who now have grand kids. Most of the tasks at these events are done by volunteers. I am a rather poor example as I have got into this role rather late, and I am not yet fully immersed in the position but I can recommend it. There are opportunities almost every weekend to give back to your community (or county). The Scott County Fair runs July 27-31. This will be my second year of driving a “people mover,” which is not a very fancy name for a golf cart. It’s really fun — you get to drive around and pick up people and take them here or there. The conversations last only for a few minutes. It’s like speed-

dating (not that I would know), except you’re in a golf cart and no phone numbers are exchanged. Here is the website for more information: www.scottcountyfair.com/ After the county fair there is Derby Days in Shakopee, Aug. 3-7. (www.shakopeederbydays. com/getInvolved/volunteer.php). There are plenty of volunteer opportunities available for this event. Last year I got to be a bingo caller. It’s a lot harder than it sounds. There is a lot of pressure in calling out numbers. The pacing has to be just right — too fast and some of the players can’t keep up, too slow and people get impatient. And of course you have to keep your numbers and letters grouped properly. I heard about a guy in some town out west who mistakenly called “G -7,” instead of the correct “B-7.” He was never heard from again. In Jordan they have Heimatfest on Sept. 10. Although I have no experience in volunteering at this event I plan on offering my services. I can take tickets, call out numbers for bingo or drive a golf cart. (www. jordanchamber.org/heimatfest/ ) Next year on the third weekend in July I will be back in the stand at Bar-B-Q days in Belle Plaine. I generally don’t plan that far ahead — but for those of you who do, here is the website for more information: www.belleplainemn.com/chamber/ Bar-B-QDays.php. I don’t have any plans to attend the St. Paul Winter Carnival next January. I will be inside reading a book if you need me for anything.

Nearly 500 take part in Relay for Life On behalf of the Relay for Life of Scott County Planning Committee, we would like to thank all those who helped to make this year’s 14th annual event so successful. Whether you participated on a team, volunteered or made a donation, we really appreciate your commitment to Relay and to the fight against cancer. On July 8, 46 teams and almost 500 participants gathered at Shakopee Junior High School to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. To date our Relay raised more than $155,000 for patient services, education, research and advocacy. Together we have raised over $1.7 million in the past 14 years here in Scott County. We also were honored this year to host the Cancer Prevention Study 3 enrollment. Scott County and surrounding community members gave of their time to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fi nd a cure for cancer, and we had 264 people enroll in the study! We came together as family, friends, neighbors and co-workers to celebrate, remember and fight back. We believe we accomplished that. We extend an invitation to all to come back again next year. Let’s keep up the great work — we are making a difference in the fight against cancer.

Annette Chlan Jordan Annette Chlan, Brenda Stocker of New Prague and Joie Skogrand of Shakopee were this year’s tri-chairs for the Scott County Relay for Life. Stocker and Skogrand also signed this letter.

Contributions still accepted for Relay I would like to thank Scott County residents for their generosity and

support for this year’s Relay for Life. A special thanks to the many Relay for Life volunteers who made this event a success. The Relay for Life committee, led by tri-chairs Joie Skogrand, Annette Chlan and Brenda Stocker, did an outstanding job of putting the event together. We also appreciate the generosity of this year’s corporate sponsors, individual donors and community supporters. This year’s event also included a unique opportunity for Scott County area residents — Cancer Prevention Study 3. After months of work by the CPS-3 promotion committee led by Ruby Winings, we enrolled 264 people in the study at Relay. Thank you to those who enrolled — please remember to complete your baseline survey to complete your enrollment! We will be accepting donations for this year’s event through Aug. 31. Help us reach our goal of $175,000! Send donations to American Cancer Society, Relay for Life of Scott County, 2520 Pilot Knob Road, Suite 150, Mendota Heights, MN 55120, or visit www.relayforlife.org/scottcountymn.

Many in Shakopee violating city codes I have a question that can only be answered by a few within city government. I have spoken personally to the the mayor and have e-mailed others with no response. Why does the city have codes? Is it so that the Police Department can use the codes to harass certain citizens or is it to keep the city clean and safe for all citizens? Why do I continually see vacant lots along with vacant homes with grass well

over the 8 inches allowed by code and nothing gets done about it? The city in some areas looks terrible. I am curious why the City Council members in their respective areas of the city do not take note and do something about not only the long grass, but the number of vehicles parked on non-code surfaces. Some of the main areas that I am questioning are around Home Depot, Lowes, Shakopee Public Utilities, Alysheba and Eagle Creek Boulevard. And lots around the post office. Why does the city allow owners of vacant property to dump piles of dirt randomly on their property, which makes it all but impossible to maintain the city code of 8 inches and I am not referring to berms — properly constructed berms can be maintained. Why are some held to a higher standard than the rest or why are so many allowed to not conform to the codes as written? I used to have a summer job with the city in which I needed to keep track of any grass and weed complaints, along with informing the property owners that they were in violation. I know what it takes to complete the job. I know that the city has grown since, but we now have full time personnel to take care of the job. What about the so-called nature areas near the high school along with one near the town house development east of Lowes? Both have noxious weeds within them, which are on a state list of weeds to be destroyed. There is a vehicle parked on a lot at First and Atwood that has expired tabs along with a fl at tire, both of which are code violations, which would cause most of us to receive a notice of violation and or a court summons. Why does this vehicle continue to be an eyesore for those of us who travel in that area of town? Don’t forget the vacant gas station across the street with weeds and grass about 30 inches tall.

The trial, verdict, moms’ reactions So, now what? The trial that dominated national headlines, office gossip and many a person’s brain time for months has reached its conclusion. The verdict was read over a week ago. The dust has settled, or at least it’s settling. Casey Anthony is free to move on with her life. Why can’t I? The reason is obvious. I’m a mother. There are some things a mother can’t put aside. A lost child is one of them. When you become a mother (or a parent for that matter) all children become your children. One lost is one too many. Caylee Marie Anthony has been lost, and it seems we will never officially know what

happened or who hurt her. For a mother, that is gutwrenching. Even though I tried not to pay attention, I watched the courtroom drama unfold. It drew me in and

now the verdict won’t let go. I’d turn it off in my head if I could, but I can’t. Parenthood doesn’t come equipped with a mute button. First, my own confession: as a mother I mess up every day. I am not always patient: “Time for bed. Now.” I raise my voice: “Put the fish back inside the aquarium!” I ignore the food groups: “Waffles for supper?” I stifle their athleticism and creativity: “Stop wrestling in the living room and quit squirting glue in your brother’s shoes.” Because of my many imperfections, I try not to judge. It is not my place. Still, despite (or in lieu of) the verdict, there are certain things I believe defi ne what a mother is, and what she is not.

SHS seeks permission to build wind turbine The Shakopee Planning Commission will consider a request for a conditional use permit to build a 51-foot residential wind turbine at Shakopee High School. A public hearing will continue at the commission’s Aug. 4 meeting. The school district is looking to install the wind turbine just east of the Shakopee Environmental Learning Center. The turbine, as well as solar panels, will be used to power the building. The turbine would have a 45-foot pole and 12-foot diameter blades. The turbine is less than half the height of the turbine at Shakopee Public Utilities. That turbine, installed by the Minnesota Municipal Power Agency, has an overall height of 115 feet. The high school is located within an urban residential zone, thus requiring the conditional-use permit. The under-construction outdoor learning center, lab and greenhouse will be used by the high school’s environmental ethics class and available for community activities, such as field trips and community education classes.

Open house for new elementary school Tour Shakopee School District’s newest elementary building during an open house from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 31. The elementary, located at 1601 Lusitano St., is the same design as Sun Path Elementary, Red Oak Elementary and Eagle Creek Elementary. A ribbon cutting is at 4:30 p.m. The project received $28,000 in solar and wind energy equipment from Shakopee Public Utilities.

School district seeks community feedback The Shakopee School District is seeking community feedback

on how well it’s communicating with the community. A short Shakopee Public Schools communications survey will be online at shakopee.k12.mn.us through Aug. 31. Go to “What’s New” on the main page and click on “Survey.”

Students from high school and college technical education programs won the nation’s highest by demonstrating excellence in 94 hands-on occupational and leadership contests, such as robotics, criminal justice, aviation maintenance and public speaking. Top student winners received gold, silver and bronze medallions. In addition, for the fi fth year, high scorers in the contests received Skill Point Certificates. The Skill Point Certificate was awarded in 86 occupational and leadership areas to students who achieved a high score defi ned by industry.

LIVESREMEMBERED Jeannette E. Guarrine

Betty Lou Hovanetz

Jeannette Guarrine, 81, of Shakopee, died Sunday, July 17, 2011 at Friendship Manor Health Center, Shakopee. She was born in Chicago, IL, March 15, 1930 to John and Molly (Miller) Guarrine. Jeannette was a retired employee of Honeywell where she had worked for many years in production. She is survived by many friends and was preceded in death by her parents. Visitation at St. Mark’s Catholic Church, Shakopee, Thursday, July 21 after 9:30 a.m., followed by Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. at the church. The Rev. Thomas Boedy SJ is the officiant. Interment at Resurrection Cemetery, Mendota Heights, MN. Funeral arrangements through McNearney Funeral Home in Shakopee, 952-445-2755. www.mcnearneyfuneralhome.com

Gracing this world on June 22, 1928 in Minneapolis, Betty was the daughter of Andrew and Louise (Kramer) Nelson. Being the oldest of eight children, Betty was a motherly figure to her brothers and sisters. At the age of 13, she had her first job at the local bakery in Minneapolis. On Oct. 14, 1944 Betty married John Hovanetz. Her life was fulfilled, when she was blessed with two children, Barbara and John. Sitting on the sideline, Betty cheered on her children in their sporting activities. Throughout her life, Betty’s focus has been the needs of her husband, John, children, grandchildren and later on her great-grandchildren. She always put other people’s needs first, before her own. In the 1960’s, Betty was one of the original employees of the Minnesota Room. During her tenure, she received the Distinguish Award several times. A faithful servant of the Lord and an active member of the Aldrich Presbyterian Church in Minneapols, Betty assisted with a lot of the church’s catering. She was instrumental in the Mother/Daughter Banquets held at the church. Betty and John moved from Minneapolis to Bloomington to Edina and eight years ago, they moved to Prior Lake. While residing in Prior Lake, she was an active classroom volunteer at Westwood Elementary School, where her granddaughter, Amy taught school. Here she was known as ‘Grandma Betty.’ In her spare time, Betty enjoyed knitting, playing Bridge and 500. An excellent cook, she has now passed down her recipes to her grandchildren and even the great-grandchildren. She was known for her peach cobbler pie and split pea soup. For over 20 years, John and Betty wintered in Phoenix and enjoyed their trailer at Clearwater Lake during the summer. She treasured the’ girls only’ summer trips. She remained close to her siblings through the years. An unselfish wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, Betty was strong, courageous and very loving. A resident of Prior Lake, Betty was 83 years young when she passed away peacefully the early morning hours of Friday, July 15, 2011 at Friendship Manor Nursing Home in Shakopee. Betty is forever loved and will be deeply missed by husband, John; daughter, Barbara (Gerald) Gray of Prior Lake; son, John (Lee) Hovanetz of Brooklyn Park; grandchildren, Rob (Kathi) Gray, Christy Hovanentz, Cory (Dani) Hovanetz: great-grandchildren, Jenn and Jess Steel, Alex, Sean and Scott Gray and twins, Ava and Izzy Hovanetz; siblings, Jeanne Jeppesen of Bloomington, John Nelson of Prior Lake, Bea Bramwell of Eden Prairie, Wayne (June) Nelson of Bloomington; and other loving relatives and friends. Betty is preceded in death by a granddaughter, Amy Lou Carney; parents; siblings, Andrew (Kathy) Nelson, Bernice (Allan) Boehland, Rose Marie (Earl) Konbel; brother-in-law, Dick Jeppesen; sister-in-law, Neta Nelson. A visitation was held Monday, July 18 from 5-7 p.m. at Ballard-Sunder Funeral Home, Prior Lake. The Celebration of Life Service was Tuesday, July 19 at 11 a.m., with visitation one hour prior at Holy Trinity United Methodist Church, Prior Lake. Pastor Ron Nicholas officiated. The pallbearers for Betty were Rob and Kathi Gray, Christy Hovanetz, Cory and Dani Hovanetz and Laurie Vinge. Betty will be laid to rest at a private family graveside service at Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis. Betty’s final wish is for you and your family to celebrate some extra time together in memory of her, instead of giving memorials or flowers. A special thank you is extended to the staff at Friendship Manor Nursing Home for their love, compassion and care of Betty during the last months.

Gloria Ann (Drees) Walpole Gloria Walpole of Fairport, NY passed away Friday, July 15, 2011, surrounded by her loving family. She was predeceased by her husband, LCDR John P. Walpole (USNR-RET) and sons, James and John. Gloria is loved and will be dearly missed by her surviving children, Michael (Sandra) Walpole, Pamela Walpole, Mary (Jon) Kuntz, Jill (Gerard) Edd and Suzanne (Peter) Trombley; grandchildren, Renee (Chris), Shauna, Alexandra, Victoria, Thomas, Jacqueline and James; brother, Matthew (Anne) Drees; sisters, Lois Rademacher and Alice Scherer; many nieces, nephews and friends.

In Memory of

Kristi Hennes 1/11/68 ~ 7/23/2005 A million times we’ve needed you, A million times we’ve cried. If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. If all the world was ours to give, We would give it yes, and more, To hear your voice and see your smile, To sit and talk a while, To be with you that same old way, Would be our fondest day. A heart of gold stopped beating, Two smiling eyes closed to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Sadly missed by Family & Friends

Opower wi l l pu l l public records to compile a list of comparable properties in the area (anonymous, of course). “It’s not necessarily their next-door neighbor,” Crooks explained. In the past, the public utilities was required by the state to spend 1.5 percent of its electrical sales on programs that conserve energy — approximately a half-million dollars per year. The utility has made great gains in lowering energy consumption. But electric demand

has creeped up with today’s computers and the plugging in of all those smart phones. The uti lity conducts energy audits at no charge and spends almost $100,000 a year on rebates for Energy Star appliances. It is now required to reduce energy consumption by 1 percent each year through such programs, with a goal of 1.5 percent. Shakopee Public Utilities generally saves enough energ y through conservation programs each year to power about 500 homes for the year. The city saved nearly 5 million kilowatt hours of energy usage in 2009 — at the residential rate almost matching what was spent ($467,000). (The savings were about half this in 2010, in part due to the loss of a

July 21, 2011 | Page 7 utility employee who oversees conservation programs and the starting of such programs late in the year). Participation in such programs does f latten out over time, so the utility is trying new approache s. “ T here’s only so many appliances you can change out,” Crooks explained. The immediate savings of this program alone is expected to exceed the 1.5 percent goal. Other cities that have tried home - energ y repor ts have managed to reduce their usage by 1.8 to 2.3 percent. The program, expected to cost approximately $100,000 per year, is designed to last three years. The utility hopes to use the program as the launching pad for various smart grid

comfortable sleeping in their air-conditioned digs at night without human supervision. Blom has taught Daisy the word “careful” so she knows when she’s about to bump into an object. Daisy also relies on her keen senses of smell and hearing to get around. But unfailingly, Duke serves as Daisy’s guide. He showed her how to go in and out of the doggy door from the fenced yard to the outbuilding that has become their temporary home. “He only went through about five times, showing her how to do it, and then Daisy poked her head through and went in,” Blom says, smiling. Leslie has offered to pay for one month of Blom’s training when Daisy and Duke find their permanent family. Leslie is even talking to an eye specialist about whether Daisy could qualify for eye surgery. “How many people would do that for a 10-year-old dog?” Blom asks. Blom, of Lakeville, has trained dogs nearly her entire life. Her parents are both trainers, and her mom was a dog groomer for 20 years. She runs an in-home training company, LedaK9, in which she visits people’s homes to help them train and improve the behavior of their dogs. “I was raised doing this,” she says. As Daisy and Duke happily lick her face, it’s clear they are in good hands. And Secondhand Hounds is determined to find them a permanent, loving home. “They have the strongest bond we have ever seen from two dogs. They need a very special home,” their adoption profile reads. Blom also says they absolutely have to stay together.

Blom plays fetch with Duke and Daisy before the dogs cool off in the pool. The dogs need a permanent home together. They are being fostered by a Jordan woman and are available for adoption through Secondhand Hounds rescue. “They have to go to a family that will take them both,” she says. Their new family also needs to have a fenced yard and very few steps for Daisy to climb. Otherwise, they’re just like any other dogs — even better, Blom says.

shut down, he said he was in a tough negotiating spot and had to weigh whether it was wiser “to accept the deal now and live to fight another day.” A racino could still come up with a Vikings stadium package special session or in the next legislative session. Canterbury is looking at extending its racing season to try to make up some of its losses — estimated at $1 million per week. Robling and Beard said other battles were won and lost. Robling said she was happy with the reforms the governor did allow into bills, which slows the trajectory of spending and gives more freedom to school boards. She was disappointed he would not support a change to state employee health insurance, which could have saved $100 million. She said she had raised ideas to get new revenue — such as expanding areas covered by the sales tax — to avoid more borrowing, but her colleagues resisted because they felt it would be a bad thing to do during a recession. “I didn’t want to spend any more money. I wanted to hold it

TRANSIT CUTS Beard, the House Transportation Committee chair, was unhappy with how the transpor tation funding package ended up. Shakopee Transit says it will lose $66,000 per year due to cuts to suburban bus operators — on top of already being forced to lower its reserves. But the Met Council, which decried service cuts and fare hikes to Metro Transit, is going to backfill cuts to Metro Transit. “I was misled,” Beard said.

“[The Met Council] sat there almost with tears in their eyes, saying they need extra money or there’ll be big cuts and we all had to skin the game.” In negotiations, the Met Council said a fare increase would be required to Metro Transit, Beard said. But before the bill was even heard, the council issued a press release announcing no service cuts. Meanwhile, the council had demanded $12.5 million from suburban transit, city officials said. This would have been taken from their savings. Beard got the suburban reduction lowered to $7 million, with the loss taken from operating dollars rather then more from savings. He said walking from the negotiating table was a difficult proposition, given the shutdown. Without a Metro Transit fare hike, Shakopee can’t raise its rates, Beard said. Shakopee Community Development Director Michael Leek said the cuts will likely

But when one of my co-workers wrote a story a year go about the Loaves and Fishes organization coming to Shakopee, I was intrigued. We all know local families struggling to survive after the loss of a job. It seemed so much more meaningful to serve someone who might live down the street than someone I’ll never meet again in downtown Minneapolis. So when my young professionals group, ShakopeeConnect, was looking for philanthropic opportunities, I suggested Loaves and Fishes. The organization was serving supper Tuesdays and Thursdays each week and has since added Mondays. Its grown from serving 30 to an average of 115. While many local churches take a day of the month to help out, some nights they need community members to fill in the gaps. Our group offered to take a night.

mean the loss of van pools, a shuttle and possibly no new buses at the city’s new Eagle Creek and Marschall Road stations. Circulator service could also be affected. Leek told city councilors that Shakopee saved to get through the next few years, while the Met Council and Metro Transit spent down its reserves. He said Beard had been “pounded” on. Beard said he will push to separate transit authority from the Met Council. “This is just not working out,” he said. “The Met Council is the school yard bully.”

SCHOOL SHIFTS With school funding shifts, the Shakopee School District will have to borrow money to meet cash f low this coming year. Former Shakopee school Superintendent Jon McBroom said Wednesday that while the district has a 12 percent general fund balance, it does not have enough cash on hand to cover expenses until the remaining revenue is repaid in fall 2012. “This definitely has a significant impact on cash flow for the district,” said McBroom, who is working as a consultant until new Superintendent Rod Thompson starts Aug. 1.

Shakopee will likely shortterm borrow from fund balances in other accounts, such as construction and capital, instead of going on the open market, McBroom said. The district, however, must still pay interest on the loans. The Legislature did raise the per-pupil funding formula by $ 50, which should to help districts pay their borrowing costs. Minnesota schools used to receive 90 percent of their state revenue during the fiscal year; however, in recent years that number had been reduced to 73 percent then 70 percent and now 60 percent. W hile disappointed with the additional shifts, Robling was happy with educational policy changes that managed to pass and is hopeful mandate relief will help the districts fi nancially. She said McBroom had emailed her his top five wishes for reform, and when she relooked at his message last night, realized all had been accomplished.

TASTE OF SHAKOPEE Even with legislators approving a budget Tuesday, the consequences have already impacted the Taste of Shakopee. The Taste has 10 vendors

lined up for the annual food sampling during Shakopee Derby Days, down from 15 last year, after vendors were unable to get their special event food stand licenses when the state closed July 1, according to Shakopee Jaycees President Mandy Harrison. The Shakopee Jaycees bought the Taste of Shakopee from the Shakopee Chamber of Commerce last winter. The Jaycees were originally worried only half a dozen vendors were going to be able to serve at the Taste since the Minnesota Department of Health-issued licenses were put on hold when the state shutdown. Thankfully, the licenses have since come through, Harrison said. The City of Prior Lake failed to get its request for a temporary liquor license to the state in time for approval for last Saturday’s Lakefront Jazz and Blues Festival. The city was able to get around the license by declaring the event a “community festival,” which allows any vendor with a valid on-sale liquor license and a buyer’s card to provide liquor off premises at a community festival. Lori Carlson contributed to this report.

I didn’t know what to expect. We had to plan a meal for 120 people and purchase all the food. We decided on fajitas, figuring that’s not a meal most teams would serve. (Perhaps with good reason.) I had never planned a meal for more than two people. Thankfully, the Shakopee School District food service manager estimated how much we should prepare. A dozen from our group volunteered to cook and serve the meal, even though we didn’t know what we were doing. I was grateful for the strong hands that cut the frozen meat I had forgotten in the freezer over Memorial Day weekend, working to the last minute. Most teams have this down pat. A few weeks later, I took photos of Loaves and Fishes volunteers from St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Savage. Having served for years at another Loaves site, the group had its baked chicken and potatoes done

with time to spare. They joked around, reminding me of the women’s circles at my parents’ church. It was not an inexpensive endeavor and we were fortunate Walmart and Cub Foods gave us generous discounts. Taco Loco prepared our rice, beans and chips. Cedar Summit Farm in Helena Township offered its popular grass-fed, organic milk. (To which one middle school-aged boy commented that it tasted good, but different. “It must be because

there’s no chemicals,” he suggested.) Asking for donations wasn’t an enjoyable task, but neither is showing up for a free meal. About a third of people Loaves serves are seniors, who come for companionship as much as the food. There are also families with children, single men and adults with developmental disabilities. Loaves does not feel like a soup kitchen but more like a church luncheon. Seniors, who show up early for coffee and to visit, are welcomed by greeters into the church basement. Site coordinator Keith Chellsen called those we served our guests and encouraged us to sit and visit after we finished serving the meal. I did so and enjoyed it, discovering that Loaves is more than a soup kitchen. It’s a way to know your community on a different level, to break bread with your neighbors and to connect with others who care. Shannon Fiecke

Mothers do not blame their past as an excuse to hurt their children. Mothers can’t sleep at night knowing their child is lying in a garbage bag in a swamp. Mothers do not lie to the police, repeatedly, about their missing child. I am not making a conclusion about guilty or not guilty in the Casey Anthony case. (Why don’t they call it the Caylee Anthony case, by the way?) Our court system did that for us. As a mother, however, I know beyond a reasonable doubt there are simply things I would not — and other

mothers would not — do. At this point, my observations — however astute — are insignificant. The mother in question is free to live the good life within days of hearing the verdict. She is free to swim in the family pool, wear her hair down, get a tattoo, enter a hot-body contest, order fast food and let it ferment in the trunk of her car. She can go to Disney World and even work there if they’ll hire her (unless she prefers Universal Studios, of course). Point is: life goes on for everyone except the 2-year-old girl whose body was so badly decomposed the experts

couldn’t determine a cause of death. Mothers don’t kill their children, but we do manage to live the good life — some with tattoos, some without — but all with one common denominator serving as our top priority. I don’t even need to tell you what that is.

It is a list steeped in common sense — something I believe our justice system could use more of. Here goes: Mothers do not create nannies who do not exist. Mothers report their child missing as soon as they are aware that said child is missing, not 31 days later. Real mothers work at real jobs, not make-believe ones. Mothers don’t party like rock stars when their child is missing (or recently drowned, depending on which version you subscribe to).

Why are so many young kids wearing braces these days? Several readers have submitted questions regarding the optimal age for orthodontic treatment. The answer varies, depending on a number of factors. Below are answers to the Top 5 Questions Parent Ask About Orthodontic Treatment Timing. 1. At what age should my child be evaluated? The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all kids have a checkup with an orthodontic specialist by age 7. 2. Are there early warning signs that my child may need orthodontic treatment? Crowded or crooked teeth, problems with biting or chewing, speech difﬁculties or facial imbalance are signs that your child should be evaluated by an orthodontic specialist. 3. What’s the most common age to begin treatment? Comprehensive orthodontics most often begins between the ages of 11 and 15. By this age most or all of the permanent teeth have erupted, and kids are growing rapidly. Orthodontists take advantage of this growth spurt for

efficient correction of misaligned teeth and bite problems. 4. Why do some kids go through treatment at an early age? Kids with specific orthodontic problems benefit from treatment at an early age (less than 10 years of age). Treating at a younger age allows the orthodontist to prevent or intercept more serious problems from occurring, and makes comprehensive treatment shorter, less complicated and easier on the child. 5. What if my child does not get the recommended early treatment? For most patients, orthodontics can be completed at a later age, but is more likely to involve extraction of permanent teeth to resolve crowding, and may require extractions or corrective jaw surgery to correct more serious bite problems. For more information on Early Orthodontic Treatment or to schedule a complimentary screening exam for your child, contact Dr. Trudy Bonvino at Cosmopolitan Orthodontics; 952-9330917 or visit cosmoortho.com

he two-time defendi ng state Class B baseball champions took a big step toward getting home field advantage in the playoffs. Shakopee defeated Jordan 6-5 at home on Sunday to move into second place in the Section 3B standings. They have two more section games in which to hold onto second place and get home field. The Section 3B playoff field is already set. The only thing left to figure out is who will be the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds. Chaska is the No. 1 seed and will host the No. 4 seed Victoria Vics in a best-of-three series. The battle for the second seed is between Jordan and Shakopee.

SHAKOPEE AMERICAN LEGION

SHAKOPEE COYOTES

Post No. 2 finishes strong

Coyotes split midweek games

Playoffs begin this week BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

It’s playoff time. The Shakopee American Legion team enters the Third District playoffs on a pretty good roll and is optimistic about its chances. Shakopee ended the regular season having won nine of its fi nal 12 games, which put it in third place in the fi nal league standings and helped it earn a fi rst-round bye in the playoffs. Post No. 2 was seeded 12th for the Third District playoffs and played Eagan Wednesday in the fi rst round of the playoffs. The team will play either Lakeville North or Chanhassen today at Joe Schleper Stadium. If its wins, it plays at 7:30 p.m.; if its loses, it’s at 4:30 p.m. The Third District playoffs are a double-elimination tournament. Shakopee fi nished the regular season with a 12-8 overall record and 9-5 in league play. “It was a very solid season,” head coach Ryan Niedfeldt said.

FINISHING UP Post No. 2 fi nished the regular season with five games in

three days and went 3-2. The season ended with Shakopee splitting a doubleheader with Chanhassen last Thursday at Schleper Stadium. Shakopee won the first game 6-5 in eight innings before losing 4-3 in the nightcap. In the loss, Chanhassen scored in the bottom of the seventh to walk-off with the win. Josh Leonard took the loss for Post No. 2. In the fi rst game, Shakopee rallied in the seventh before winning in its fi nal at-bat in the eighth. In the seventh inning, Shakopee trailed 5-3 but loaded the bases and was able to push two runs across to tie the game. It left the bases loaded. In the eighth, Scott Bode delivered an RBI single to give Shakopee a 6-5 win. Bode was 4-for-4 with two doubles in the game. Jordan Gunhus pitched all eight innings to earn the win. “It was a very exciting game. I was emotionally drained after the game,” Niedfeldt said. The day before, Shakopee split another doubleheader at Waconia. Post No. 2 dropped the fi rst game 7-4 before bouncing back with an 8-7 win in the second game. The team only got four hits in the fi rst game but found its hitting in the second game. Gunhus and Bode both had

Marty Lenzmeier fields the ball cleanly at first before tagging the bag for an out. two RBIs in the win for Shakopee. Brandon Benner earned the win by going six innings while Zak Hoffman earned the save.

The week started with Shakopee drilling St. Peter 13-3 in six innings. Justin Evans earned the complete-game victory.

Hoffman hit a home run and had three hits. Gunhus also had three hits. Andrew Boyce, Leonard and Matt Davis each had two hits.

The Shakopee Coyotes spl it a pa i r of m idwe ek games, beating Webster 8-3 on Tuesday last week before falling to Lonsdale 9-8 on Wednesday. Against Webster, Ben Lazzari started on the mound and pitched the complete game to get the victory. Lazzari finished with 7 strikeouts. The offense was led by Josh Gregor and Jordan Triestram. Gregor was 3-for-4 with two doubles while Triestram fi nished 3-for-5 with a pair of two RBI singles. Against Lonsdale, the Coyotes outhit the Aces 12-11 but came up on the wrong side in the run column. Mike Moll led the offense with three hits and Gregor, Nate Roberts and Nick Latour had two hits apiece. The Coyotes struck fi rst, getting three runs in the third and fourth innings to take a 6-0 lead. Lonsdale answered with four in the fifth and two more in the sixth to knock starter Matt Griebel out of the game. The Coyotes immediately answered, scoring two of their own in the bottom half of the sixth to take an 8-6 lead. Lonsdale did the same in the seventh to tie the score at 8. It stayed that way until the ninth when Kevin Kalina hit a solo home run to take the lead for good. Nate Roberts was the losing pitcher for the Coyotes.

Vintage baseball to be played this week F ive “vi nt age” baseba l l games are scheduled next week involving two over-65 league teams, the Minnesota Saints led by New Prague’s former pitcher Jim Vanasek, and the West Coast Bobcats out of San Diego. Co-manager Bob Lattery of

Savage is promising that the games will provide a competitive match-up between seasoned baseball players in a full regulation game – nine innings, three outs and a full count. T h e s c h e du le o f g a m e s started at Union Hill Wednesday and continues at Prior

Lake today at Veterans Field; Vesli on Saturday, July 23 ; New Prague on Sunday, July 24; and in Jordan on Monday, July 25 at the Mini Met. All games start at 1 p.m. There is no admission but goodwill contributions will be accepted. Local concession stands will

be open at each location. Lattery recalled that the last time the Bobcats were in town, they “kind of beat up on the locals because we were not quite as prepared with personnel that had been active in league play.” “That will be different this

time,” promised Lattery, who is involved in league play in Arizona in October and Florida in November. The Saints, co-managed by Lattery and Pat Thompson, will have players who travel to Phoenix, Ariz. and Fort Myers, Fla. each year to complete in

the MSBL (Men’s Senior Baseball League) and a Roy Hobbs tournament. “A lot of our players have competed in the over-60 division and then the over-65 division,” Lattery said, “Despite our age, the competition is very competitive.”

Seventh graders win state

Lacrosse team’s record improves from last year Colton Clarke named All-State Shakopee’s boys varsity lacrosse team fi nished the year 5-9, a solid turnaround from last year’s 1-13 record. With no seniors on this year’s team, the Sabers are looking forward to returning all of their players next season. One of this year’s highlights was traveling to Brainerd, which the Sabers defeated 13-3 in the pouring rain and on a field that had more mud than grass. Another great accomplishment was placing second in the Shakopee Shakedown Invitational that was held May 1 in Shakopee. The Sabers lost to 2010 state

champs St. Louis Park 6-3, but was able to hold off Hudson to a close 2-1 win and also beat the Tartans 8-3. The Sabers’ defense showed they were a force to be reckoned with, having Colton Clarke, Mike Knute, Tyler From and Chaydon O’Fallon protecting the net. Shakopee had to play against top teams that have had club teams for over five years and Shakopee is only in its third season and second season being at the varsity level. A number of players also earned individual awards recognized by the Minnesota Boys Scholastic Lacrosse Association. Clarke was the first Shakopee player to be named to the MBSLA All-State Team. Clarke was also ranked No. 1 in the MBSLA for groundballs

totaling 116. First-team All-Conference awards were given to Clarke, Sean Surbaugh and O’Fallon. Br ent H a n i sh wa s n a me d second-team All-Conference. A l l- C on ferenc e Honorable Mentions were Knute, Ethan Callies, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Bubba Kubes. Connor Blair received the All-Academic Award for his 3.87 grade-point average. Sean Surbaugh led the season with 23 goals and four assists and Brent Hanish led the team in assists with seven. Coach Reitenour said that the biggest achievement of the season was Shakopee winning the Sportsmanship Award for the entire league. Being recognized as the classiest team in the state is a huge accomplishment, he said.

Boots and Boas event to be held at EP’s Purgatory Creek Park You can run or walk a scenic, 3.1-mile course and help fight domestic abuse at the same time by participating in the inaugural Boots & Boas 5K Run/Walk on Sept. 10 at 9 a.m. at Purgatory Creek Park in Eden Prairie. The event is sponsored by

Savvy.mn magazine, the Eden Prairie News, St. Francis Regional Medical Center and a number of other local businesses. A pre-race 50-yard “dash” in boots and boas will be held as a photo opportunity and to make people more aware of the good work of two organiza-

tions working to end domestic violence: Cornerstone, which serves southwestern Hennepin County, and the Southern Valley Alliance for Battered Women, which serves Scott and Carver counties. “The name of the event and the fact that a share of proceeds

will go to Cornerstone and Southern Valley Alliance make it sound as if Boots & Boas is just a women’s event,” said Mark Weber, publisher of the Eden Prairie News newspaper. “It’s not. This is a fun event that men and children will love too, and a way for them to show sup-

port for two organizations that are doing great work.” Early-bird registration (before Aug. 20) costs $25 per person. After that the fee goes to $30; race-day registration is $35. You can register online at active.com (type in Boots & Boas), which charges a small admin-

istrative fee. Or, download an entry form at www.savvy.mn, www.scoreboard.mn or www. edenprairienews.com. More information about the race is available on Facebook. You can also call (952) 445-3333 or send an e-mail to Mark Weber at mweber@swpub.com.

non-profit organization committed to the rescue of abandoned, abused and stray domestic animals. We believe the animalhuman bond is strengthened through education of the public on the humane treatment of animals, pet population control and support for animal protection laws. We are an all-volunteer non-profit organization. We do not have any paid staff and receive no government funding. Our founding members have over 35 years combined experience in the animal rescue field. We have established federal tax-exempt status as a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization. Southwest Metro Animal Rescue does not operate a shelter building, and is a volunteer foster home-based organization that hosts regularly scheduled monthly Pet Adoption Days. Our procedure is to evaluate the animal, provide necessary medical care (including spay/neuter), place in a caring foster home, and finally find a suitable forever home for each pet. We rely on donations of food and supplies to care for the pets. We maintain a no-kill policy except in cases when euthanasia is deemed the only viable, reasonable and humane option. www.swmetroanimalrescue.org

Lola

Max

Friendly, affectionate Lola would like to be your companion. She is 3 years old, easygoing and passive. Lola gets along with most dogs, cats and kids. She jumps onto your lap and will stay a long time if you brush her. When you come home she’ll door-greet, anklerub and follow you. You’ll hear her chatter while watching birds at the window. Easygoing Lola likes petting and head scratching. Check out this beauty.

Are you my childless couple or single retired person looking for a companion? I do tricks, and know obedience. Although I’m fine with girl dogs and older kids, I’d like life to be less fast-paced. I jump onto laps or sit next to you. I was born in August 2003. I wear diapers, as I am 80 percent housebroken. If you let me out every two hours, I do fine. I’m a quiet, very friendly, purebred Lhasa apso who became homeless when my past owner died.

Most kangaroos live in Australia. We travel together in “mobs.” We like to eat grass and shrubs. We can jump up to 40 feet in distance and 10 feet high. We can hop as fast as 40 miles per hour for a short time. We use our tails to push us and to help us jump.
