Taste of fun starts tonight

A

t 80 years old, Wally Kopisca has never grown out of Boy Scouts.

The lifelong Shakopee resident has been a Scout Troop 218 leader for 60 years — most of which as scoutmaster. After joining the troop as a 14-year-old in the mid-1940s, Kopisca found his niche.

“It’s a true sense of dedication,” current Troop 218 Scoutmaster Steve Thomas said about Kopisca, “a dedication to the boys, a dedication to the organization, a dedication to Scouting in general.”

Selling Shakopee: Business students win assignment

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

Perhaps the fi rst lesson to take away from a marketing plan under way for the city of Shakopee is to not overlook your assets.

The city’s Economic Development Advisory Committee was shopping for a paid consultant to develop a marketing

plan for Shakopee when m e m b e r Paul Youngs t hought to check if students at the Minnesota School of Busi ness i n Shakopee might be able

Richard Anderson

to develop a plan.

Richard Anderson, the business department chairman, took the idea back to his students and returned with a proposal that was better than one from a professional consultant.

And the price was right.

“The work plan they put together was far more detailed, far more thoughtful than the

proposal we’d gotten so far from a professional consultant in marketing,” city Community Development Director Michael Leek told the Shakopee City Council last month.

“There’s no cost to city, other than staff time.”

Anderson said the college promotes getting real-life projects into the classroom —“not the ivory tower.” This has been

the first opportunity for his business classes — which are more familiar with corporate marketing — to work on behalf of a municipality.

“It’s been a perfect marriage — I couldn’t be happier,” he said.

The City Council, acting as the Economic Development Authority, gave the student proposal a quick approval. The

Filings for Shakopee city and school posts opened Tuesday and three people have placed their bids for Shakopee City Council and one for School Board.

As expected, Shakopee city Councilor Pat Heitzman fi led for re-election and Shakopee Heritage Society President Jay Whiting fi led for one of the two council positions open. A surprise contender is Mark Reimler, a local real estate agent. All three fi led Tuesday. Councilor Matt Lehman is also planning to run, although it’s possible he could fi le for mayor instead of his current seat. Mayor John Schmitt was undecided last week about whether to see reelection.

Filings were a little slower at the Shakopee School District office Tuesday. Matt McKeand of Shakopee was the lone candidate to fi le for one of three openings on the seven-member School Board. McKeand, who

Residents have until Aug. 16 to fi le for the city and school posts, all of which will be decided during the Nov. 8 general election.

The place to fi le for city office is Shakopee City Hall, 129 Holmes St. S., from 8 a.m. to

Ex-principal Murphy off to China for school post For mer S h a kop e e H i g h School Principal Jim Murphy has accepted a position in Fuyang, China, where he will serve as principal at Fuyang College Preparatory High School.

The school works with students to prepare them for college courses in the United States, Britain and other locations in Europe. In addition to fulfilling administrative duties, Murphy will instruct one course in advanced-placement economics. “I have been granted a wonderful opportunity to go to China and I’m very excited to live in such a dynamic country right now,� said Murphy. “I have spent time in Japan and

really enjoyed Asia. The cult u re i s ver y different and it will be great to go back.�

Murphy was principal at Sh a kop e e High School for 21 years.

Jim He re si g ne d Murphy from his post in December following a settlement with the Shakopee School Board. He originally was terminated by the board after his longtime secretary was charged with theft of more than $168,000 from student accounts, though the School Board emphasized

he did nothing illegal. His termination was later rescinded by the board and he resigned under the settlement.

Murphy has a two-year contract with the school in China beginning in mid-August. In a news release, he thanked all the supportive people of Shakopee and said appreciated the opportunity to help educate so many of their children. He added that he encourages the people of Shakopee to vote in the next School Board election “to ensure the representatives are those who truly care about education and look out for the best interest of the children.�

Shakopee remains among metro new-housing leaders Last month’s state government shutdown didn’t keep metropolitan-area builders from pulling permits.

July’s residential construction permit activity almost mirrored June’s figures and ran almost 40 percent higher in planned units than in July 2010, according to a report issued by the Builders Association of the Twin Cities (BATC).

There were 257 permits for

a total of 370 units issued in the Twin Cities area during the four weeks in the month of July. Year-to-date, there were 1,581 permits issued for a total of 2,294 units.

Farmington led the metro area in building activity for July with 71 units. Blaine followed with 42 units, followed by Chanhassen (32) and Plymouth and Prior Lake (19 each).

Court upholds Rud commitment

84 PARTIES. 1 GOOD TIME

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

PHOTO BY SHANNON FIECKE

The Minnesota School of Business invited people from about 400 nearby homes to a Minnesota Night to Unite block party it hosted at Shakopee Town Square.

De’ Monte Lewis, 5, came with his brother and relatives. Neighbors from across the city gathered in 84 picnics for food, fun and visits from police officers and firefighters as part of the third annual event. See photos from the parties online at shakopeenews.com.

Man with gun permit allegedly threatened to kill A 23-year-old Shakopee man is accused of threatening to shoot a man in Belle Plaine with a handgun he has a permit to carry.

Chance Steven Skorczewski was arrested shortly before 3 a.m. at Kwik Trip in Belle Plaine, two hours after he allegedly threatened to kill a man. Police found him with a loaded handgun. A preliminary breath test indicated he had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.13 percent.

According to court records, earlier in the night Skorczewski was at a bonfire at a house on South Maple Street and witnesses there said he became very angry after someone called him ugly.

Skorczewsk pushed a pregnant woman and when her boy-

friend intervened, threatened to shoot him, according to the criminal charges.

“The defendant was out of control, nobody could calm him down, and she believed by the way he was acting, he would have shot the victim,” the criminal complaint says.

He had been drinking all day. The man who was threatened said Skorczewski carries his gun everywhere, and gets “crazy” when he drinks alcohol.

The victim’s girlfriend said she asked Skorczewski earlier in the evening to put the gun in the safe, but he refused.

Police a l leged ly found a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380 semiautomatic handgun in Skorczewski’s back pocket and a magazine with six bullets in

his front pocket.

Skorczewski was charged in Scott County District Court with making terroristic threats (a felony), carrying a pistol while under the influence of alcohol (gross misdemeanor) and two misdemeanor counts of fi fth-degree assault.

Skorczewski purchased a home in Shakopee in November and lists it as his address. However, the criminal complaint says he was the alleged victim’s landlord at the house in Belle Plaine where the assault occurred. The Belle Plaine house is owned by someone else, however, according to Scott County taxation records.

The Belle Plaine Police Department didn’t immediately respond to a request from the Valley News for clarification.

James Rud may not have been the ideal candidate to fight the constitutionality of the state’s civil commitment process, but two Shakopee defense attorneys tried so anyway.

T he cou r t-appointed attorneys for the infamous sex offender can’t deny that Rud — who admitted victimizing 16 people and sparked the infamous 1980s Jordan child sex-abuse scandal — fits the defi nition of someone eligible for civil commitment, but they argued there were alternative placement opportunities for him.

Rud, 54, was eligible for intensive supervised release after serving the first 30 years of his 40-year prison sentence, but the Scott County Attorney’s office requested he be civilly committed as a sexually dangerous person with a psychopathic personality upon release.

Scott County District Court Judge Caroline Lennon ruled last September that Rud should be placed at the state’s sexoffender treatment facility in Moose Lake, finding that lessrestrictive alternatives failed to protect public safety. The Minnesota Court of Appeals has upheld her decision.

The prison-like Minnesota Sex Offender Program has been the subject of much scrutiny due its high cost and the fact that no one has ever been released from the facility.

Kevin Wetherille and James Conway, who work for the Shakopee law office Jaspers, Moriarty and Walburg, took a new tact in their arguments against Rud’s commitment.

Although civil commitment is only supposed to occur if a less-restrictive alternative isn’t available, Conway argued the state blocks alternative placements for offenders they want to civility commit. Officials are able to do this, he said, because they control access to halfway

hou s e s a n d treatment programs.

For a Level 3 sex offender to get into a ha l fway house, he ne e d s a r e ferral from a case managJames er. However, a Rud case manager (who is supposed to help an inmate transition from prison) never met with Rud or even talked to him on the phone, Conway said.

Likewise, a supervised-release agent assigned to Rud failed to investigate any housing opportunities for him, only looking at a couple sites Rud came up with on his own.

“The government holds all the keys and locks all the doors for sex offenders with the way the system was set up,” said Conway.

Unlike the commitment process for people with mental illnesses, it’s up to the sex offender to prove that a lessrestrictive alternative exists, he said.

“If the government holds all the keys to proving that, it’s a façade. No one can prove a less-restrictive alternate exists if the government prevents you from doing it,” Conway said.

Conway said he argued before the Minnesota Court of Appeals that the state is violating offenders’ due-process rights.

In the end, Conway believes Rud’s offense history was too grave for the court to consider the defense’s constitutional arguments.

“It was difficult, if not impossible, for them to look beyond that,” he said. “The Court of Appeals ignored the whole argument. This boogeyman theory advanced by the state was an insurmountable challenge.”

The appellate court noted that although Rud mainly offended against children he already knew, he also offended against children within as little as 30 minutes of meeting them.

It found that Rud demonstrated

READ THE ENTIRE COURT RULING AT

www.shakopeenews.com

little progress or improvement while in prison, where he was found in possession of material with “pedophiliac themes.”

When Rud was fi rst incarcerated, he expressed interest in sex-offender treatment, but the state Department of Corrections found he was a lowpriority candidate due to the length of his sentence. In 2006, he was terminated from the prison sex-offender treatment program because of a letter he sent another inmate that generally described how he offended against children.

Three mental health professionals testified that Rud would require significant monitoring and checks. One suggested he would need monitoring at all times for likely five to 10 years.

Another testified that the Minnesota Sex Offender Program was the only place that would provide that level of structure.

All programs Rud proposed were halfway houses that allow access to the community, the appellate court found.

Conway said the defense knew it didn’t have a good chance of winning in Rud’s case, but the constitutional arguments may be presented again in future cases.

“Rud had an offense cycle and factual background and number of convictions that make him an ideal candidate for pursual for commitment.

That said, the same arguments we made will have a lot more power and impact on appeal in a situation in which the offender has perhaps a less egregious offense cycle,” he said.

Because the appellate order was a n u npublished decision that won’t impact future lower court decisions in other civil commitment cases there’s little chance the Minnesota Supreme Court would take Rud’s case on appeal.

Shakopee Derby Days: Enjoy your community Shakopee Derby Days, the community’s annual celebration, gets heated up today and continues through Sunday. Count us among the amazed that a relatively small group of volunteers can pull off this exceptional community wingding.

Things started with a few events Wednesday, and today is the always popular Taste of Shakopee from 5 to 9 p.m. at Huber Park. On hand with food samplings will be 12 local vendors. Folks can browse while they munch at the Business Expo and bid on silent auction items until 8:30 p.m.

The Family Fun Park opens tonight.

And there is musical entertainment also: The Loosely Wound Bluegrass Band performs at 5:30 p.m., followed by a teen DJ dance from 7 to 10 p.m.

The Shakopee Urban Dance Squad will perform during the teen dance.

On Friday, there are carnival games in the morning at Lions Park, followed by a Splashtacular at SandVenture Aquatic Park from 1 to 5 p.m. (bring your swimsuits). Food concessions open at 3 p.m., bingo runs from 4 to 10 p.m. and the Family Fun Park and beer garden open at 5 p.m., all at Huber Park. There will also be water fights starting at 7 p.m. on Fuller Street between Second and Third avenues and music at the Huber Park amphitheatre.

Saturday’s the big day for activities. A Kids’ Pedal Pull starts things of f at 8 : 3 0 a.m. at Huber Park, followed by a 5K Turf Run at Canterbury Park at 9:30 a.m. A Kiddie Parade starts at 10 a.m. with the lineup at Levee Drive; also starting at 10 a.m. are the market fair and Family Fun Park. Also at Huber: A new event, the Turtle Derby, at 10:30 a.m., and a Cornhole Bagz tournament (also new), sawdust pile grab and Diaper Derby/Toddler Trot, all at 11 a.m. At noon, a Punt, Pass and

Kick competition kicks off at Muenchow Fields. There is bingo at 1 p.m. at Turtle’s Social Centre and at 2 p.m. at the park. The Red Path and the Casablanca Orchestra will perform in the evening before fi reworks over the Minnesota River at dusk.

Sunday’s lone event is the annual Derby Days Parade on 10th Avenue starting at 1:30 p.m. The parade route has been shortened: the lineup will be at Sweeney Elementary and the parade will head east on 10th Avenue from Adams to Spencer streets.

Events that will occur over several days include a Scott County Historical Society scavenger hunt. Shakopee Friends of the Library is also raising funds for library programs with its book sale at the Shakopee Library.

Book sale hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. today and Friday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Saturday.

Avoid the parking hassle in downtown Shakopee and get around during Derby Days with free shuttle bus rides from Scott County Transit. The service runs from 6 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

Friday and noon to 12:30 a.m. Saturday with pick up at the Scott County Government Center.

We encourage area residents to take part because, as they say, there is something for everyone. We also ask that residents show their appreciation by making a donation to the cause. Every year, it seems, the committee fi nds itself short of funds and every year, businesses and individual donors come through. We hope that is repeated this year. As Shakopee Derby Days President Jack McGovern says, even a buck will be appreciated.

Daily highlights are available in a story that begins on Page 1 of today’s paper and can also be found at shakopeenews.com.

Enjoy your community!

Donate sneakers, help Derby Days, the needy In an ongoing effort to raise funds for Shakopee’s annual festival, Derby Days has partnered with a nonprofit group known as GreenSneakers, which collects used sneakers and donates them to Third World countries. Derby Days is participating in collection activities at various sites around Shakopee, and we urge residents to help with this worthy cause.

Donation sites are located at the Shakopee Community Center (near the entrance), the Scott County Government Center (near the central entrance), St. Francis Regional Medical Center (near the emergency entrance), and at Shakopee Town Square mall (two locations, near the movie theater and at the south entrance). There will also be at least one collection site at Derby Days once the festival begins.

Please consider donating your used sneakers to this worthy cause, which helps provide shoes for Third World countries and raises funds for our annual festival.

The alarm clock sounds and from somewhere outside the edges of my awareness I hear a young voice calling, “Mom!” Morning comes too soon. On this day — like most — I am not ready. I roll over and cling to unconsciousness, fully immersing and indulging myself in the last lap of sleep.

The last lap, when morning tugs at you, but your brain is unwilling, your body lies heavy with resistance and you sink more fully into the mattress and further into rapid eye movement.

The most treasured moments of sleep come at the end of the night — or more accurately the start of morning — when the best dream is about to begin, your pillow is elevated in softness and the sheets have developed a new level of crispness.

I pull the blankets up over my shoulders and the weight and warmth surrounds me like a cloud as I turn to savor the last lap.

The last lap — when you open one eye halfway to look at the clock and see you still have 10 minutes.

The duration seems expansive — much longer than it would if you were really awake — because time stretches beyond definition.

Ten minutes unfolds like an hour, without a second wasted on anything but those glorious final moments of unconsciousness.

The last lap — the end of a longdistance race — where it all comes to completion. Your legs propel you forward toward the finish line.

Morning sounds try to interrupt

your run, but you round the bend again and again, wishing it could last forever.

The last lap — mesmerizing and languid — like the lapping of the waters on the shoreline. Fluid. Free.

Filled with a calm and haze that distorts to a make the world slightly out of focus. You sit on the sand, reaching your toes out to touch the cool water as it surges forward before retreating in the rhythm that is the tide.

The last lap — immersed in the water — face down, swimming the length of a pool. Reaching an arm up and then downward.

First one, then the other. Stroke, breathe, stroke. Gliding smooth and weightless.

The last lap — climbing onto your grandmother’s lap as she rocks in her chair — maybe on the front porch, maybe in the front room. The memory is as fuzzy as her slippers.

She wraps her arms around you in a soft embrace. She smells of the kitchen — an intermingling of coffee, soap and bacon grease — and you nuzzle in for the comfort of a hug only a grandma can give.

Patience is a virtue. Perhaps, but I think it depends on the situation.

I can be very patient or insanely impatient. For instance, when I am considering a purchase of a limited commodity I do not want to see if it is available tomorrow.

But when it comes to staying power, I can linger longer than anyone or anything, including a cat. When Olivia, our resident female feline, has a litter of kittens it’s a challenge trying to find them.

She selects a secret and secluded place. If she suspects you are following her to find her kittens she will not return to them; instead, she will bide her time until you give up. But I can be stubbornly patient.

Last year after she had been downsized from her pregnant state I sneaked into the barn after I saw her jump through the missing pane of a window. Being too large for the window myself I opened the barn door.

When she heard the door she walked back towards me.

She was being rather coy, but I knew her tricks. I ignored her and went about the business of picking a post to lean on while I pondered. She sat down in front of me and gave herself a bath. After about 20 minutes or so she tired of this and crept over to the firewood pile. Looking around to make sure I wasn’t watching (I pretended to have my eyes closed) she jumped into an old metal tub. There, among the barks and twigs I had saved for kindling, were her kittens.

This year it got a little more

complicated. We first discovered the litter in a hollow beneath a bale of hay. But because we had found them she moved them. Finding the second location was not difficult.

I spotted her heading to the barn one afternoon, but when she did not emerge from the lilies below the window I went looking. There they were, gathered in the greenery.

Of course now that the cache of kittens had been discovered she would move them.

This third hiding place was the most challenging.

Taking advantage of my busy schedule, Olivia enjoyed a couple weeks of solitude with her kittens. But they were approaching a month old and if we had any hope of having tame barn cats, they would have to be found soon.

Saturday, after my morning constitutional with Buddy the dog, I noticed that Olivia was hanging around the front steps. With the whole day ahead of me, I thought,

Saturday, after my morning constitutional with Buddy the dog, I noticed that Olivia was hanging around the front steps. With the whole day ahead of me, I thought, ‘I have you now.’

“I have you now.” I made some coffee to accompany the toast topped with strawberry jam that had been laid out for me. Taking the morning paper I seated myself next to the window.

While reading how Democrats and Republicans were waiting to see who would blink first over the debt crisis in Washington, I saw Olivia head for the barn. I scurried through the house to a back door so I could sneak up on her. By the time I got outside she had disappeared.

One year she had hidden them in the hostas, but that was too predictable so I continued to the barn. Once she spotted me she went into her routine. But once again I waited her out.

Soon she made her way to a corner where there was a large set of warehouse shelves. Among other things on the shelves were a bunch of windows leaning against the wall. When I saw her climb behind them I headed back to the house for the flashlight.

When I returned I couldn’t find her. Climbing onto the shelf and through the cobwebs I rifled through the windows but she was nowhere to be found. Then I heard the sound of a content cat purring.

Getting down on my knees I spotted her on the barn floor beneath the shelf. With only four inches of headroom it was a good hiding place.

This time we made the first move. My son Nathan helped me dismantle the shelf and we moved Olivia and her kittens to the smoke house where they would have room to grow and play. All things come to those who wait. Sometimes.

A WHOLE LOT OF SHAKIN’ GOING ON

PHOTO BY MATHIAS BADEN

Ethan McDonald of Shakopee, Kirsten Barott of Glencoe, Mariah McDonald of Shakopee, Jeremy Derhag of Shakopee and Alan Smith of Marystown work the 4-H food booth on Wednesday, July 27, the opening day of the Scott County Fair near Jordan. The children offered up some treats, but the 4-H food booth is especially famous for its shakes.

City apartments saved from foreclosure Two East Coast real estate fi rms have acquired Shakopee’s most upscale and expensive apartment community for $19 million, saving the 202-unit complex from foreclosure.

Shenandoah Apartments, 935 Alysheba Road, was placed in receivership in December. It was purchased by the Praedium Group of New York, a real estate investor, and CAPREIT of Maryland, which owns and manages more than 50 housing complexes throughout the country.

Construction on the apartment complex started in 2004 with a bank loan of $24.5 million. It still owed $16 million to Bank of America and had failed to make its payments since June 2010.

The Donald Parrott Trust also holds a mortgage against t he prop er t y, a nd United Building Centers has a mechanic’s lien.

Units at Shenandoah have patios, balconies, walk-in closets and washers and dryers. The complex includes a swimming pool, clubhouse and billiards room.

CAPREIT, which will manage the property, is planning capital improvements to include exterior and interior painting and upgrades to the clubhouse and pool.

It is u nclea r who ow ns S hen a ndo a h Ap a r t ment s LLC, which is listed as the borrower in the foreclosure case. However, the address matches St.-Paul based home builder Jeffrey Allen Gard-

ner and his development company Heritage Development, which are listed as guarantors and have owed millions in loans in other foreclosure suits. Court correspondence to that address came back as returned.

Apartments at the complex range in price from $ 830 to $1,300 per month.

According to court documents, the complex owner acquired a broker to try to sell the apartments ahead of a foreclosure sale.

The property was sold May 26. This is the second joint venture for Praedium and CAPREIT, which purchased a 204-unit property in White B e a r L a ke i n S ept emb er 2010.

KitKat

Marty

If you are looking for a companion who will sit next to you on the sofa while you pet her, KitKat might be your new friend. Kitten-active, easygoing KitKat was found as a stray and is estimated to be born in October 2010. She is friendly with some cats and calm older kids, and is initially shy of new folks. KitKat snuggles with her foster roommate Orphan Annie. KitKat likes to play, be brushed, and will door-greet and follow you.

Marty was an unclaimed stray who is looking to be the only dog in a family that has kids he can snuggle and play with. He is housetrained, does well on a leash, is well-behaved, and knows basic obedience.

Marty, a 58-pound Lab/bassetmix, will go into his crate on request. He is fun to play with but is not a high-energy dog.

Marty is thought to be 4 or 5 years old. He enjoys rawhide bones and lying on the deck in the sun.

T h e r e h av e b e e n s o m e changes to the Little Miss MN Valley program. In the past, the Little Miss program was a separate (August) coronation from the Miss MN Valley program (June) coronation.

Directors Joy Newgard and Colleen Loerzel have made the decision consolidate the two coronations to June 2012.

Because of this change, the current 2011 little royalty will continue their reign until the 2012 coronation. The directors said they apologize for any confusion.

Anyone who has submitted an application and would like it

held until June should contact Newgard at (952) 693-5688. The Little Miss MN Valley program will also be having an informational candidate meeting explaining the changes on Aug. 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Shakopee Police Department. Those attending are invited to bring their children and meet some of the 2011 Little Miss royalty.

“You could tell when we were on because there’s be just a rhythm in the room and this movement that you could feel it, taste it, just a flow,” Thomas said. “[Kopisca] was very, very proud of us when we were doing these things.”

SCOUTING HISTORY In addition to his duties today as an assistant scoutmaster and treasurer, Kopisca is the unofficial club historian. Pulling out stacks of scrapbooks with yellowing newspaper clippings and black and white photos, Kopisca talks about the troop’s former activities and meeting places, such as the log building at Huber Park that was swept away in the 1965 flood.

Kopisca also has a special place in Troop 218’s history as the third club member to earn the Boy Scouts’ most prestigious rank, Eagle Scout, in 1950 at age 19. Since then, the troop has had nearly 80 Eagle Scouts, including Kopisca’s son, Brad.

Like most service organizations, Troop 218 has seen its numbers peak and valley over the years from a high of 75 kids to a low of 15. Today, the club has about 40 Boy Scouts — a good number for a community that supports four Cub Packs and two troops.

When Geske’s son, John, was 11 and fi nishing Cub Scouts, the Chanhassen resident brought his son and a handful of other families, including Thomas’, down to Shakopee purposely to join Kopisca’s troop. Though his son has since graduated, Geske stayed on as an assistant scoutmaster and helps boys complete their Eagle projects.

After 60 years, Kopisca has seen many changes in

the policies and procedures of Boy Scouts but some things remain the same.

The organization has always been a place where boys can grow and mature in a safe environment, he said.

“It’s a program to teach how to be boys in the world and give them a foundation,” he said. “Overall, the idea and the purpose and the activities and the basic organization haven’t changed.”

In 2002, Kopisca handed over the title of scoutmaster to Thomas, but scoutmaster

All the Better to Hear You With

FAMILY FEATURES

earing loss affects over 30 million Americans — and it’s not just a problem for the elderly. The majority (65 percent) of people with hearing loss are actually younger than age 65. There are more than six million people in the U.S. between the ages of 18 and 44 with hearing loss, and nearly one and a half million are school age, according to the Better Hearing Institute.

Because hearing has a profound effect on quality of life, it’s important to know how to recognize hearing loss, and what can be done about it.

H

Signs of Hearing Loss

Do you: Have trouble hearing over the telephone?

Find it hard to follow conversations when two or more people are talking?

Often ask people to repeat what they are saying?

Need to turn up the TV volume so loud that others complain?

Have a problem hearing because of background noise?

Think that others seem to mumble?

Can’t understand when women and children speak to you?

Then it’s time to see your doctor and ask about referrals to an otolaryngologist (a specialist who can investigate the cause of hearing loss) or an audiologist (a specialist who will measure hearing loss).

Many people think that their physician will tell them during their physicals if they have a hearing problem. But in reality, only about 14 percent of physicians routinely screen for hearing loss. That’s why it’s important to talk with your healthcare provider and get screened if you exhibit hearing loss signs.

Better Living with Hearing Loss It’s an unpleasant reality — aging can take a toll on hearing. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), 1 in 3 people older than 60 — and half of those older than 85 — have hearing loss.

Hearing problems can make it difficult to respond to warnings, understand and follow doctor’s advice, and even to hear doorbells and alarms.

The good news is that there are many assistive technologies that can make living with hearing loss easier.

Hearing aids of many styles and capabilities, some of which are hardly visible and others which can even sync up with other electronic devices.

Amplified telephones or telephone caption services help facilitate outside communication.

Personal infrared and FM systems make it easier to hear the television, movies, meetings and religious services.

Computerized speech recognition software lets a computer change a spoken message into a readable text document.

Closed-captioned TV (CCTV) shows spoken dialogue and sounds in a text display. All TVs now sold with screens of at least 13 inches must have built-in captioning.

Even the seemingly little things can make a big difference. For older seniors using hearing aids, getting the small batteries out of the package can be an exercise in frustration, as can losing those tiny batteries. Stress can also cause or exacerbate hearing loss. Packaging can ease this frustration and stress. The EZ Turn & Lock packaging for Energizer hearing aid batteries is an example of a userfocused solution that keeps the batteries from falling out, but has an easy-to-turn dial that lets you get them out when you need them with no trouble at all. Find out more at www.energizer.com.

You can learn more about hearing loss at The Better Hearing Institute www.betterhearing.org, and the Hearing Loss Association of America www.hearingloss.org.

Ask Before You Buy Before buying hearing aids, the hearing experts at NIDCD say you should ask a few questions:

What features would be most useful to me?

Does the audiologist perform real ear measures to verify the performance of the hearing aids?

What is the total cost of the hearing aids?

Do the benefits of newer technologies outweigh the higher costs?

Is there a trial period to test the hearing aids? (Most manufacturers allow a 30- to 60-day trial period during which aids can

be returned for a refund.) What fees are nonrefundable if the aids are returned after the trial period?

How long is the warranty? Can it be extended? Does the warranty cover future maintenance and repairs?

Can the audiologist make adjustments and provide servicing and minor repairs?

Will loaner aids be provided when repairs are needed?

What instruction does the audiologist provide?

Not all insurance will cover hearing aids, but AARP members can save 20 percent on hearing aids and hearing care through the AARP Hearing Care Program provided by HearUSA. Visit www.aarphealthcare.com for details.

There are a surprising number of people who could benefit from hearing aids that don’t wear them. But those that do wear them report a significant improvement in quality of life.

A survey by the Better Hearing Institute found that, of the hearing aid wearers that responded: 71 percent reported more effective communications.

56 percent had a better social life.

55 percent reported better relationships at home.

56 percent had better relationships in the workplace.

48 percent had improved emotional health.

Today’s hearing aids are not the big, clunky ones you may remember. There are sizes and styles to fit every lifestyle, and many are winning awards for their design.

Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) hearing aids fit into the ear canal and are virtually invisible.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE) hearing aids are much sleeker, smaller and more discreet than their predecessors.

Open-Fit BTEs are nearly invisible behind the ear and use a thin plastic tube or a thin wire to amplify sound into the ear canal.

Hearing Aid FAQ

Are hearing aid batteries interchangeable among manufacturers? Battery dimensions are standardized across all brands. All sizes are the same — just look for the color standard to find your battery size.

Should I open the door on my hearing aid when it’s not in use? Yes — it is a good idea to open the battery door on your hearing aid when you are not using it. This reduces battery drain and may allow air in to remove any moisture buildup.

How should I store my batteries for best hearing aid battery life? To get maximum hearing aid battery life, keep batteries at room temperature. Heat can shorten hearing aid battery life and a damp location like the refrigerator is not recommended. Also, never carry loose batteries in your pocket or purse. Contact with metal items like keys or coins can shortcircuit the battery.

Scott Carver Threshers build a Model T garage

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

Waste not, want not.

When giant forms used to make the concrete pillars of the new Interstate 35W bridge showed up at an auction across the street from the Scott Carver Threshers’ land, members seized an opportunity.

They bought more than 20 of the forms made of plywood and boards, each measuring about 8 feet by 40 feet.

Threshers club members took them apart and used the plywood in a new building that will open at this year’s Scott Carver Threshers Festival Aug. 5-7 in St. Lawrence Township, near Jordan.

Scott Carver Threshers members take interest in engines, tractors, old automobiles and other oldtime items that they collect, sometimes restore and show at the festival.

For member Stan Riegert of Eden Prairie, the new shop is a dream come true. He said he’s wanted a Model T shop since he joined the club in 1989.

“I’m thrilled to death – never felt better about something in my life,” Riegert said. “It’s really going to be pretty, really going to be nice inside, when I get it all done.”

See the engines Head to the Scott Carver Threshers Festival, and you may feel you’ve jumped back in time.

What: 48th annual Scott Carver Threshers Festival, including old-time engines When: 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 5-6; 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 7 Where: Across Fairview Lane from the Scott County Fairgrounds, 7151 W. 190th St. Lawrence Township, near Jordan Cost: $8 for the weekend, children under 12 free Info: (952) 492-2062 or www.scottcarverthreshers.org

Four or five members who are near or in their 70s spent the past year building the garage, along with the occasional help of eight to 10 other members.

Dallas Plekkenpol of Shakopee was one of the handful of members who put the most time into the new garage.

“It was fun. A lot of work, but fun,” Plekkenpol said.

RISE OF THE AUTO The allure of the Model T may be that it was one of the first cars available for a large number of people to buy for a reasonable price.

“That got them to town a little faster. When they wanted to go visiting, they didn’t have to be freezing so long,” Plekkenpol said.

The Model T garage came about nicely for Riegert, who was bound and determined to get one done at some point.

Riegert plans to show his Model T, which has suicide doors that gave medics an easier in-and-out, he said.

“I have a 1923 Model T doctor’s coupe,” Riegert said.

About 15 Model T cars will be rolling to the new garage, from collectors around the greater Twin Cities area.

Many of them drive to the show in their old-time cars.

But don’t expect to see them on Highway 169. Their top speed is usually around 40 or 45 mph – perfect gawking speed.

“People, actually, if they see them, they’ll pull over and let these guys by and look at them,” Riegert said.

Derby Days fundraiser also helps needy

PERTLER

The Shakopee Derby Days Committee has par tnered with a nonprofit group in an effort to raise funds for the annual community celebration and help needy people at the same time.

Derby Days has hooked up with GreenSneakers, which collects used sneakers and donates them to Third World countries. Derby Days is participating in collection activities at various sites around Shakopee and residents are urged to help with the cause.

Donation sites are located at the Shakopee Community

continued from page 4

Center (near the entrance), the Scott County Government Center (near the central entrance), St. Francis Regional Medica l Center (nea r t he emergency entrance) and at Shakopee Town Square (two locations, near the movie theater and at the south entrance). There will also be at least one collection site at Derby Days once the festival begins.

People can donate their used snea kers to provide shoes for people in need and also raise funds for Derby Days.

FIRE DEPARTMENT

unteer firefighters, who responded to more than 600 calls in 2010 with the same number of personnel the department had a decade ago.

Firefighters could take multiple shifts, up to 27 hours per week (when benefits kick in).

“If we even think something is burning, it’s going to be an all-call,” Coleman said.

Likewise, dispatchers will call the entire department for extrication in motor vehicle accidents.

The response from firefighters to the idea of duty call has been mixed, Coleman said.

Younger fi refi ghters want the structure of a daytime duty crew so they can know when they’re on. Some new recruits have even inquired about duty crew during interviews.

Change is a little harder for more senior firefighters, although they’re not necessarily opposed to the concept, Coleman said.

“Employers are a big fan,” Coleman said, adding that the department may be able to recruit more people now who work in the industrial park.

A side benefit of duty crews is they can perform station and fi re equipment maintenance, freeing up more time for training on Monday night drills.

They could also devote more attention to community outreach and updating records on the layout of local businesses.

Additionally, night-shift workers who haven’t been able to join the department due to Monday evening training requirements might be able to work on the duty crews if training can be completed during the day.

continued from page 1

chief said, citing Plymouth, Roseville and Bloomington as examples.

Instead of hiring full-time daytime firefighters, which would be a lot more expensive, the department would assign volunteer fi refighters to man the main fi re station in daytime intervals of three hours.

A three to five-member crew would work out of the Vierling Drive station from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Coleman would like to implement duty crews in 2012. He made an initial presentation to the Shakopee City Council and Jackson and Louisville township boards last week.

The cost of implementing such a program is $ 50,000, based on an analysis of past call history.

The full cost is actually $156,000, but the city saves not having to page the full department on every call. The city’s 46 paid on-call fi refighters are compensated $10 per hour in addition to a yearly pension contribution.

“I can count on my hands every week the number of residential fire alarms and carbon monoxide alarms that five people can take care of,” Coleman said.

While many of these calls turn out to be false, that’s not always the case.

“That first truck is going to go out faster on every call,” Coleman said. “Everybody’s response times will get faster.”

The system would lighten the load for the city’s 46 volpup’s actions tickle and you laugh in your sleep as you cascade toward consciousness.

Down boy. That’s enough now.

I’ll get your breakfast in a minute.

The last lap — those final moments when the first rays of sun slip in through the

curtains and sleep feels not like a need, but an indulgence.

When you want nothing more than to linger half an instant, to draw out this last lap a little further, before the rigors of daylight and wakefulness can be denied no longer.

Jill Pertler, award-

OTHER CHANGES In last week’s 2012 budget planning workshop, Coleman also highlighted other changes for coming years.

The Fire Department is looking at ramping up to 70 fi refighters over the next couple years for a planned station in Southbridge in 2014.

“I can’t hire 20 to 25 fi refi ghters in one year and put them in a new station by themselves,” said Coleman.

Eventually, the city will have to look at adding another night for training and adding a full-time training officer.

The city may implement station paging by the time a third station is added in Southbridge. Station paging for daytime hours is currently not feasible because there may not be enough firefighters responding to each station to provide for a truck driver.

Once a station is built in Southbridge, firefighters from that area might respond in tandem with firefighters from nearby stations in Savage and Prior Lake.

The city and township leaders plan to relook at township contracts for fire service in light of future changes.

The Fire Department is also asking the City Council to raise firefighter pay, which was last raised to $10 per hour in January 2004. (The department also provides a $7,500 per year of service pension payout for eligible retiring firefighters).

The Fire Department has budgeted $1.83 million for next year. The estimated yearly cost for such a raise is $10,000.

If a raise is implemented, the department might tie it to fi refighter performance. winning syndicated columnist and author of “The Do-ItYourselfer’s Guide to SelfSyndication, is collecting fans on Facebook on her Slices of Life page.

Try these energy-efficient home enhancements for comfort, savings

C

onserving energy at home can be as simple as swapping incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) or unplugging the computer when it is not in use.

However, a home built for energy efficiency can have an even more significant impact on your family’s energy use.

Taking a look at your home from top to bottom and wall to wall can uncover ways to maximize energy efficiency. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 40 percent of global energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions come from the world’s homes and buildings. Although energy efficient upgrades and home renovations can seem more costly upfront, the investment can help save money and energy in the long term.

Reduce air infiltration

Between framing and routing for wiring and plumbing, hundreds of seams, gaps and holes exist in a typical home, which let air in and out. Forty percent of a home’s energy is lost due to this air infi ltration, according to the Department of Energy. In fact, these gaps in an average-size home could fi ll nearly 200,000 basketballs with air every 24 hours.

A cost-effective way to address the issue is with proper air sealing and insulation. For example, Owens Corning EnergyComplete Air Sealing System seals the gaps in the home’s exterior walls before installing fiberglass insulation for thermal protection. The system can reduce air infi ltration by up to 70 percent in new homes and can lead to a savings of up to 33 percent in heating and cooling bills for some homeowners.

When considering home insulation, also look for solutions that

keep the environment in mind. “Every pound of glass fiber thermal insulation saves 12 times more energy each year than was originally used to produce it,” says Frank O’Brien-Bernini, chief sustainability officer for Owens Corning. “In fact, our new EcoTouch insulation uses a minimum of 30 percent postconsumer recycled content and 50 percent total recycled content, as certified by Scientific Certification Systems.”

Revisit the roof

Re-roof your home with ENERGY STAR-rated shingles that use granule technology to reflect the sun’s rays and help keep roofs cooler, resulting in more comfortable and energy-efficient living spaces. In some areas, these shingles may also qualify for tax credits. Owens Corning Duration Cool Shingles help save energy without sacrificing beauty. Additionally, a roofing system that includes proper ventilation helps keep moisture and hot air away from the living space.

Eight out of 10 homes in the United States have asphalt shingle roofs, resulting in millions of tons of potential waste that could end up in landfi lls each year as homes are re-roofed. Recycling a home’s old shingles is equivalent to recycling a year’s worth of household waste. Visit Owens Corning Roofing & Asphalt’s shingle recycling program to learn how to choose a contractor that will recycle your roof.

Close the window to air leakage

Eliminating drafts can save 5 to 30 percent of a home’s annual energy costs, according to the National Association of Home Builders. Window frames are a common culprit for air seepage.

Consider installing new, energy-efficient windows or sealing

existing windows to address this issue.

Strong and durable fiberglass composite window frames are virtually maintenance-free over their long lifetimes, vastly reducing the need for repair or replacement.

A complete solution from the floor to the roof

Whether you are making minor changes or undertaking major renovations at home, enhancing your home with sustainable

methods will not only contribute to the overall health and well-being of your family and community, but deliver long term savings.

“Homeowners should realize that they can enhance their home’s function and style, while simultaneously saving money and the planet,” O’Brien-Bernini says.

to underserved commercial areas.

Committee member Ryan Love suggested students not just look at similar-sized towns. “If we look at cities that have grown, those are ones I want to look at more in-depth,� Love said. “They had something in place that worked for them; I want to know what it is.�

The marketing plan is intended to identify the city’s weaknesses and strengths and build a brand and marketing strategy.

If you go‌

Sunday’s lone event is the annual Derby Days parade on 10th Avenue.

“There should be a lot of good information from business visits and inter views throughout the community,� said Leek.

Marketing students could be out at Sam’s Club and Cub Foods as early as next week Friday talking with residents and non-residents alike. “What are the things they really find attractive about Shakopee, why do they come t o Sh a kop e e, wher e t hey spend money and what does it take to be a more active community member,� A nderson said of potential questions.

Students hope to create a

strategy for the city that encourages business development and gets more customers into the city for existing companies, A nderson said. T hey want a plan that enables the city, busi nesses, enter tai nment venues and residents to work together for the betterment of Shakopee.

The project will largely be complete by September, although the city might retain outside assistance for certain elements, like graphic design services. “It’s a good package, it looks promising,� said Mayor John Sch mit t about t he student team’s work plan.

SUNDAY

MEDALLION

Past medallion finders

continued from page 1

“You don’t really go there anticipating you’re going to find it on the first night,�

Trevor said.

The family exchanged the medallion for a $150 cash prize from the Shakopee Val ley News, sponsor of the hunt.

This was the second year the St. Johns have searched for the medallion, though Trevor has read the clues and followed the hunt since moving to Shakopee in 2000. Last year, he and Declan, 7, came pretty close to fi nding the medallion hidden at Huber Park. They had searched the riverfront park just hours before the Strand family located the medallion under a bench in the play land. “That definitely got [Declan] hooked,� said Trevor, a category manager who works with Target headquarters.

This year, the first clue came out in the July 28 Valley News but there wasn’t much to go on. Trevor fi gured the “brown and green are all I see� reference pointed to a park and the “cross a line and you’ll pay a fee� likely meant the medallion was hidden near a fee-based activity, such as SandVenture Aquatic Park or The Landing.

Looking at a city map Fri-

2010 – Beth, Elle, Jessi and Nick Strand 2009 – Jeremy and Tonya Beuch 2008 – Betsy StaffordLarkin, Justin Larkin and Noah Stafford 2007 – Kendra Pexa, Charlie Pehrson and Matt Smith 2006 – No hunt 2005 – Dan O’Brien 2004 – Jared Besser 2003 – Jacob Schmidt 2002 – Ken and Terri Valiant family 2001 – Dan Edeen day, Trevor noted Memorial Park and The Landing share a border, so the whole family, including Adelae, 2, and Mateya, 3 months, decided to scout the park in anticipation of the second clue that was to be released Saturday. “It was kind of a reconnaissance mission ahead of the second clue the next day,�

Trevor said.

Walking along the trail path in the northeastern corner of the park, the oldest two kids ran ahead looking in tree bushes and under benches.

“I looked in some grills,�

Elliot, 5½, said. “Underneath them,â€? Declan explained,â€? and in some trees ... and every big rock, we looked.â€?

It was Trevor who peeked behind the Police Watch sign, surrounded by overg rown vegetation, and saw the duct tape. “I just saw a crinkle and I thought ‘oh, that’s just a crinkle,’� Declan said. “And my dad, he pulled it a little ways and we were about to leave, but then I fi nished pulling it off and I found it.�

The kids’ reaction switched from disbelief to excitement, Trevor recalled. In the van headed home, they passed the medallion back and forth between them multiple times.

They even slept with it, he said.

The kids said while looking and fi nding the medallion is their favorite part of Derby Days so far, they are looking forward to other events, like the infl atables at the Family Fun Park.

In addition to learning more about the city of Shakopee, the hunt is a great family activity, said Natasha, a functional development manager at Oracle Retail. She said the St. Johns will defi nitely be hunting for it again next summer. “It’s the thrill of the hunt for us,� Trevor said.

Former city man pens book Dan O’Brien, a Shakopee native who now lives in Chaska, has written a mystery that also offers readers insight into Japanese culture.

O’Brien will have a booth at Shakopee Derby Days with his self-published book, “Star Points: Connections Old and New,� which has been an 11-year project for the social studies teacher.

In it, he draws extensively from the 12 years he spent in Japan – also the homeland of his wife Chiaki. “A lot of it is my personal experiences,�

O’Brien said.

The book is meant to

“demonstrate Japanese culture and language without teaching it,� O’Brien said. “I want [readers] to understand Japanese culture and understand that connections are important in our world and possible across cultures,� O’Brien said.

The book, slated for release this week, tells the story of a “young couple that stumbles across a long lost quest while living in Tokyo, Japan. Can the couple help solve an age old quest?

Along the way they meet with a mysterious group, and throughout the book

they learn some things about meditation. Can they help solve a mystery that is centuries old? Will the world someday come together and collaborate ‌ ?�

The book is the fi rst in a planned series of three, O’Brien said. The second, “Japanese ghost in America,� is under way.

O’Brien, with Chiaki, also teaches Saori, a style of weaving that originated in Japan. And O’Brien, a second-degree black belt, teaches meditation classes, by donation, 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Wednesdays. For more information, call (952) 567-3414.

SHAKOPEE INDIANS

Indians closer to moving on Team wins pivotal game three and grabs 2-1 series lead

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

The Shakopee Indians took the upper hand on Tuesday night in their playoff series against the Jordan Brewers.

Shakopee scored a run in the eighth inning to defeat the Brewers 6-5 and grab a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.

The Indians led 5-1 going into the eighth inning but allowed Jordan to tie it up with four runs in the eighth.

In the bottom of the eighth, the Indians’ Joey Heller led off with a walk and moved to second when Curt Hartfiel reached

base on an error.

Brandon Olson drove in Heller with a double.

Shakopee built its 5-1 lead with a Kyle Hoover RBI single in the third, Zach Bohar’s tworun double in the fi fth, a Brannon Weigel sacrifice fly in the fi fth and Aaron Olson’s home run in the seventh.

Chris Rupert started and pitched into the eighth inning before getting relieved by Olson, who earned the win.

Kyle Green pitched a scoreless ninth for the save.

Shakopee can close out the series by beating Jordan tonight in Jordan.

deciding game will be played Friday night at Joe Schleper Stadium.

EVEN UP Shakopee was inches away from taking a 2-0 lead in their playoff series against the Jordan Brewers.

Instead, the Brewers made a great play and rallied to win game two of their best-of-five series 4-3 in 10 innings.

That win evened the series at 1-1 after the Indians won game one, 7-5.

In game two, Jordan’s Adam Frey delivered a two-out single in the bottom of the 10th inning to break a 3-3 tie and even the series up.

The winning run came an inning after Shakopee went for the win and were denied by Jordan’s defense.

With two outs in the top of the ninth inning and the game tied at 3-3, shortstop Aaron Olson stepped to the plate with Brandon Olson at fi rst base.

Olson ripped a Trent Bohnsack pitch to left center field and Brandon Olson was off to the races.

With the ball bouncing toward the fence, Brewers left fielder Scott Hollingsworth slid for the ball and stopped it before it got to the fence.

Hollingsworth got up and fi red a strike to the cutoff man, who turned and saw Olson steamrolling towards home.

The throw home was a bit high but Jordan’s catcher caught it and quickly went down to tag Olson’s hand just before it hit home plate.

That prevented Shakopee from taking a 4-3 lead in the ninth inning.

“The left fielder fell down, I’ve got the fastest guy in the county running the bases, and we haven’t got a clutch hit all day,” manager Brannon Weigel said. “The left fielder got up and threw a strike to the cutoff guy who threw a strike to the catcher. We tried to force the issue several times on the bases throughout the game but each time they made the

play. You have to give them credit for that. Looking back now, as the third base coach, I’ve got to get down the line where I can hold the runner after I see the relay man catch it clean. But, the game was fi lled with second-guess plays.

A person could talk about second guesses all day from that game, if you wanted to look at that.”

That play was a microcosm of the game for the Indians.

They had there chances but couldn’t come through when needed.

Shakopee had runners in scoring position in six of the 10 innings played but only scored in two innings.

The Indians scored in the fi rst for a 1-0 lead but saw the lead slip away in the fourth when the Brewers’ Evan Lucius hit a two-run home run to center field.

Jordan made it 3-1 in the sixth on a sacrifice fly.

Shakopee tied it up in the eighth when it loaded the bases and scored on a hit batter and a wild pitch from Trent Bohnsack.

In the bottom of the 10th, reliever Dane Secott walked Trent Simek, who moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and third on a wild pitch.

Simek scored when Frey’s single up the middle bounced off Secott’s glove and into center field.

GAME 1 Shakopee won game one 7-5 behind the pitching of Chris Rupert.

Rupert went nine innings for the win, giving up just four hits.

Jordan grabbed a 3-0 lead when it scored three runs in the top of the fourth off of Rupert.

Rup er t ’s te a m m ate s re sponded in the bottom of the inning and scored four times for a 4-3 lead.

Shakopee added three more runs in the sixth to push its lead to 7-3.

In the ninth, Jordan scored twice but it wasn’t enough as Rupert shut the door to give

INJURIES Not only are the Indians fighting the Jordan Brewers in the playoffs but they are fighting themselves and injuries.

Shakopee has at least two sta r ters out for t he series and many others are fighting through injuries.

The Indians’ starting center fielder and lead-off man Curt Hartfiel injured his ankle in game two against the Brewers and is out indefi nitely. He played in Tuesday’s game.

Right fielder Joey Heller has

missed most of the season with a wrist injury and can only pinch run for now.

Brannon Olson hu r t his wrist at the play at the plate and is day-to-day.

Pitchers Kyle Green and Secott are battling arm injuries as they pitch through pain.

“We need a full-time trainer/ medic in our clubhouse,” Weigel said. “Every game someone gets dinged up. If only we could get healthy it would be better than anything else. But other guys are getting chances now.

Everyone knows they each have to step up their game for us to move on.”

SHAKOPEE COYOTES

Junior tennis team wins section title St. Patrick Shakopee will represent Northern Section at Nationals in October sweeps Coyotes

Shakopee won its secondever Junior Team Tennis title, defeating Powderhorn Park 3426 in the championship.

Shakopee was down 14-10 after the singles but dominated the doubles, winning the boys 8-1, the girls 8-6 and mixed 8-5.

Members of the team were Brooks Allen, Rajadurai Arul, Alexander Exsted, Raghu Inturi, Taylor Koenen, Donovan Malsom, Steffon Mitchell, Gracye Peterson, Grace Sperr and Alison Wagner.

The finals provided less drama than the semifi nals as the Shakopee Corsairs defeated their area rivals, Wayzata Red, 34-26.

In the finals, Koenen won 8-6 in female singles, Alison Wagner and Grayce Peterson won their female doubles match 8-6, Raghu Inturi and Donovan Ma lsom were dominant in an 8-1 boys doubles victory, and Arul/Koenen fi nished the championship match off with an 8-5 mixed-doubles victory. Steffon Mitchell, Brooks Allen, Alexander Exsted and Grace Sperr round out the roster and all won matches for the Corsairs en route to the championship.

The Shakopee Corsairs went undefeated during the regular season.

They started their playoff journey by needing to finish in the top three out of 16 teams at in the area to advance. They fi nished second in a close loss to Powderhorn Park 31-30, but it was good enough to advance to the sectional championship at the University of Minnesota.

The fi rst day of sectionals consisted of 16 teams from the four-state Northern Section

(North Dakota, South Dakota, Western Wisconsin, and Minnesota).

Only the top eight teams were going to advance. Shakopee played well, defeating Read-Sweatt 40-10 and Brainerd 40-14, only losing to Wayzata Red 25-26. The 105 games won allowed them to make it to the championship Gold Bracket.

In the championship Gold Bracket on Tuesday last week, they needed to win all three as only one team (winner) advances to nationals. They came from behind to pull out their quarterfi nal match over

Wayzata Blue 36-25.

In the semis, they faced the Wayzata Red team that had beat them the prior day.

The format is total games won for all five matches (boys singles, girls singles, boys doubles, girls doubles, mixed doubles).

Shakopee was down 18-22 going into the final mixed-doubles match, so it needed an 8-3 to win or an 8-4 to tie. Shakopee was down 3-4, but saved six match points, including one game being down 0-40 (no ad scoring — next point wins the game), saving those four

match points plus two other deuce (match) points to win the match 8-4.

They played a 10-point tiebreaker to decide the 26-26 tie, and the mixed team won 10-7 to advance to the title.

In the finals, Shakopee faced Powderhorn Park, which beat it the prior week at the area championships. Shakopee came back to win four of five matches and won the championship.

The team will represent the USTA-Northern Section as it advances to Nationals at Surprise, Ariz. (near Phoenix) on Oct. 21-23.

The 2011 Shakopee Coyotes season came to an end Friday evening at the hands of the Dakota-Rice-Scott champion St. Patrick Irish.

The Irish swept the first two games of the best-of-three series to knock the Coyotes out of the playoffs.

The Coyotes could not overcome early leads as St. Patrick jumped out ahead in both games.

In game one, it was an 8-1 deficit after 4½ innings that doomed the locals.

Shakopee managed to make it 8-5 after four fifth-inning runs.

Josh Gregor hit a double that scored Nate Roberts and then two batters later Chris Kubitz hit a three-run single that included some sloppy play by the Irish to make it 8-5.

The Irish scored the fi nal three runs of the game to make it an 11-5 final. Ben Lazzari took the loss on the mound.

On F riday, the Coyotes again couldn’t overcome an early deficit, this time 9 -1 after four.

In the sixth inning the Coyotes showed some life, scoring twice to make it 9-3.

Nick Latour scored on an Andy Lazzari double and Lazzari later scored on a Jordan Triestram single.

St. Patrick answered with two of its own in the sixth to make it 11-3.

The Coyotes again tacked two on in the seventh to make it 11-5 after Sam Pond reached on a fielder’s choice and was moved to third on a Gregor double.

After Latour was hit by a pitch, Kubitz knocked in two runs with a single.

The Irish scored one in the eighth and the Coyotes scored one in the ninth to reach a 12-6 fi nal.

Kubitz took the loss on the mound for the Coyotes.

SPORTS BRIEF

Klein misses cut at State AM Shakopee girls hockey and boys golf coach Matt Klein failed to make the cut at the 108th Minnesota State Amateur at White Bear Yacht Club last week.

Klein, shot a two-day total of 151 (79-72) to miss the cut by one stroke.

Klein started the tournament on the back nine at White Bear Yacht Club and was 2-over after nine holes. That’s when the bottom fell out.

He triple-bogeyed the fi rst hole and added a double bogey on the seventh to go along with two other bogeys. He did fi nish with a birdie on the par-5 ninth hole.

The second round was much better as he shot a 1-over 72, which included birdies on the fi fth and 13th holes.

MARIA HAUGER

A national champion Shakopee junior wins 3,000-meter title

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

Shakopee junior distance runner Maria Hauger is a national champion.

Hauger won the 3,000 meters at the U.S. Track and Field Association National Junior Olympics in Wichita, Kan., on Saturday.

She won the young women’s division (ages 17-18) with a dominating time of 10 minutes, 9.96 seconds. That was 30 seconds ahead of the runner-up.

“It was really cool,” she said.

“I knew I could win, so I just went to the front and ran the race I knew I could run.”

As each lap passed, Hauger extended her lead and ended up fi nishing 30 seconds ahead of the next closest competitor.

There were 18 entries in the 3,000 meters.

With the track meet in Kansas in the summer, that meant all the athletes had to deal with the extreme heat.

Shakopee junior Maria Hauger won the 3,000 meters at the National Junior Olympics in Kansas.

Hauger said that the temperature was well over 100 degrees the whole meet and that the heat helped her out.

“I usually do really well in

the heat,” she said.

She did beyond well. She ran her second-fastest time in her life in the 3,000 meters.

Hauger also fi nished third in the 1,500 meters with a personal best time of 4:40.

She ran a 4:47 in the preliminary heat of the 1,500, so she knocked off seven seconds from her previous best time.

She qualified for the national meet by finishing in the top-5 in each event at a regional event held at Hamline University.

By fi nishing in the top-5 at both events, Hauger was named an All-American in both the 1,500 and 3,000 meters.

H au ger i s t he t wo -t i me Minnesota State High School League girls cross country champion. She also won the 2009 MSHSL 3,200 meters.

This past spring she finished second in the 3,200 meters and fourth in the 1,600.

“I’m training the hardest I’ve ever trained,” she said.

Two local drivers win at Raceway Those seeking thrills and chills to chase away those summer time blues got just what they wanted this past weekend when Raceway Park hosted a Triple Header drawing a host of stock car racing and show car competitors and aficionados.

The action all started on Friday night when the ABHE and Svoboda Company served up a Friday Night Destruction program featuring “Big Car” motorized mayhem in the form of Figure 8’s, Flagpole Racing, and the Thunder V8’s.

Big money winners for the night were Mark Bronstad who won or fi nished second in all three divisions, Steve Motley, Scott Westphal, and Dustin Mann.

Not to be outdone by heavier metal, the “Little Cars” put on equally awesome shows as well.

Nationally ranked Legends racer Tim Brockhouse won the feature as a final tune-up in a new car before heading for the

Charlotte Motor Speedway and the One Million Legends race coming up this week.

Ted Hough, James Wenzel and Derek Miles were tops in the Bandoleros once again and Alec Purcell flew to Flyers heat and feature wins.

Then on Saturday and Sunday morning Raceway Park and The Twisted Koncepts Car Club co-hosted the 1st Annual Show Off Showdown which drew over 200 Custom Cars and Trucks, Hot Rods, Imports, Lowriders, 4X4’s and Custom Motorcycles from six different states.

“Rusty Townsend and the other Club members did a fantastic job of organizing and running this event,” said Raceway Park general manager Mike Hellendrung. “They are to be commended for raising over $1,200 for the Courage Center and their Cars for Courage event which was held here later on Sunday night.We’re looking forward to having them back next year.”

The “Show Off Show Down” included over night camping, a Kick Ball Tournament, DJ performances by Mystics Night’s Scott Wittnebel and St. Joel and a Bikini Contest with lots of prancing by the gals and glancing by the guys.

At the conclusion of the event over 60 trophies, many of which were custom made by Twisted Koncept Car Club members themselves, were awarded.

One of the highlights of the annual Cars for Courage event at Raceway Park is the Celebrity Race for Courage in which “local celebrities race against each other in stock cars in an effort to build awareness for Cars for Courage, Courage Center’s vehicle donation program.”

As noted earlier, the Twisted Koncept Car Club sponsored the race along with Tony Brewer and Brewer Motorsports.

Racing resumes at 6 p.m., Sunday night with a NASCAR Event Presented by recently reopened Canterbury Park.

Commission President: William P. Mars ATTEST: Commission Secretary: John R. Crooks (Published in the Shakopee Valley News on Thursday, August 4, 2011; No. 5074) OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REGULAR SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA JULY 12, 2011 Mayor Schmitt called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. with Council members, Pat Heitzman, Steve Clay, Matt Lehman and Pamela Punt present. Also present Mark McNeill, City Administrator; R. Michael Leek, Community Development Director; Bruce Looney, Public Works Director/City Engineer; Julie Linnihan, Finance Director; Jeff Tate, Police Chief; Rick Coleman, Fire Chief; and Brad Ehlers, Community Center; Judith Cox, City Clerk.

Mayor Schmitt asked if there were any additions or deletions to the agenda. Mark McNeill said staff had no changes to the agenda.

Punt/Clay moved to approve the agenda. Motion carried 5-0.

Mark McNeill, City Administrator, presented Council with an outline of the 2012 Budget Workshop.

Mr. McNeill said the purpose of the workshop is to gather information and ideas regarding the 2012 budget as well as gathering information and ideas from the newly hired Finance Director, Julie Linnihan.

Julie Linnihan, Finance Director, presented the Council with the 2012 Budget Discussion.

Ms. Linnihan said that because of the state government shutdown, obtaining and working with accurate numbers generated by the Department of Revenue isn’t possible. This means that cities and counties will not be able to obtain or develop reasonable estimates for fiscal disparities and market value credits; and ultimately, property tax impact.

Ms. Linnihan said that the City of Shakopee is very fortunate because it does not rely on LGA, market value homestead credit, or significant pension funding as part of the budget. She said that Shakopee’s tax capacity decline for 2012 is -0.61% and is very manageable. Ms. Linnihan said there is a decline in the taxable market rate. However the tax levy and tax capacity are very stable and represent responsible decision making.

Ms. Linnihan said that when reviewing the 2012 budget, Council and staff should consider the following factors; Shakopee has a stable fund balance, consistent funding of the internal service funds, low rate of debt, strong cash position, and no reliance on significant state aid.

Michael Leek, Community Development Director, presented

continued from previous page Council with a discussion on the Economic Development Authority (EDA) levy.

Mr. Leek stated the purpose of an EDA is to use it as a mechanism to provide assistance to or economic development incentives for the growth of the business tax base within the community. Mr. Leek said that the EDA ad hoc committee thought it is very critical that the City position itself because other area communities were also being proactive in economic development.

Mr. Leek said the EDAC (Economic Development Advisory Committee) has given Council a number of recommendations about potential funding mechanisms or financing tools that should be considered.

Mr. Leek said that the key to the EDA levy is the intention of the Council as to the purpose of the EDA levy. Mr. Leek asked Council if their intentions are to follow the recommendations of the EDAC to expand the existing loan program or to provide more GAP financing for businesses, etc. Mr. Leek said these are just some of the questions Council will need to consider when establishing the 2012 budget.

Ms. Linnihan said that she cannot find a policy on the use of EDA funds and that a policy needs to be determined so that staff will know how to respond to requests. Mayor Schmitt identified possibilities for financing tools for the preservation, expansion and creation of businesses: SAC (sewer availability charge) credits, tax abatement, tax increment financing and DEED (Department of Employment and Economic Development). He said that the EDA needs to quantify what is in the tool box.

Ms. Linnihan said that the City has a low debt situation. She also stated that the City has been in a cash position to reduce or cancel some annual debt service levies.

As she reviewed it and looked at the process that occurs, it may be time to review and bring some of the debt service levies back into the total levy.

Bruce Loney, Public Works Director /City Engineer discussed the Capital Improvement Levy. Mr. Loney said that the City probably won’t be able to rely on state aid to pay for future street overlays. In 2006 a report was prepared on pavement management. Mr. Loney reminded the Council that between 1995 and 2006 45% of the city streets were constructed. The City may have to levy for future projects or put some money in the capital improvement fund. Discussion followed.

Ms. Linnihan said that Council should consider the amount of money the City would want to commit to the infrastructure of the community and the priority it has in the budget; and, this might be a good time to look at this. She identified options for funding infrastructure: an improvement levy or partial assessments.

Ms. Linnihan then discussed the two year budget preparation and review. Consensus of council members was to prepare a one year budget.

Ms. Linnihan then presented discussion on the Internal Service Fund. She said that in meetings with the various departments regarding equipment rental and building facility rental, discussion centered around if the formula to determine these rates should be reviewed. She feels that the Internal Service Fund needs to be discussed in great detail with each of the departments to make sure it’s accurate, comprehensive and concise so that the numbers that are used provide actual funding for what is ultimately needed. She is recommending maintaining the 2012 levels at the 2011 rates to provide ample time for review.

Long Weekends Away!

Long weekends away! More and more families are taking a few long weekends away from home in place of one longer vacation. It still takes a lot of planning to get ready, but people like the change of pace from their weekly routines and feel they get more breaks.

Some families like the idea of visiting three or four different places during the year. It’s also a good way to make time to visit relatives and still be able to have a couple of private getaways for just your own family. Fill in the puzzle with things you might do or places you might visit:
