County Board vote to fire Shelton fails 3-2 Wagner vote short in attempt to terminate administrator; Ulrich says action vindictive

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

T he gloves came of f T uesday morning at the end of a routine County Board meeting after county Commissioner Joe Wagner offered a motion to terminate Scott County Administrator Gary Shelton and he was seconded by Commissioner Dave Menden of Shakopee.

The move had been rumored for weeks, with Board Chair Tom Wolf of Credit River Township seen as the swing vote.

Commissioners Barbara Marschall of Prior Lake and Jon Ulrich of Savage fought back, with Ulrich accusing Menden and Wagner of going after Shelton for personal reasons.

LAND-TRUST ISSUE

THE NEW YEAR’S EVE BALL DROP

Council wants to talk with tribe before taking a stand

After swearing in a new mayor and city councilor Tuesday night, the Shakopee City Council opted to meet with tribal officials before deciding whether to oppose the latest land-trust applications from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community.

The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs extended the comment period for the city, allowing its newest members — Mayor Brad Tabke and Councilor Jay Whiting — to be brought up to speed before comments are considered for the 133 acres in question.

Alpha Pregnancy Center to sell building, go mobile

BY AMY LYON editor@savagepacer.com

SAVAGE — A lpha P regna ncy Resou rce Center i n Savage has decided to sell its commercial building and turn to a mobile means of delivering its message in 2012. “We feel at this point that our mission is to be able to go mobile to meet the people,� said Board of Directors President Ianthe Hermann. “As soon as we raise enough money, we’ll go mobile.�

Alpha hopes to more effectively reach “abortion-minded� women in Scott and Carver counties utilizing an ICU (Image Clear Ultrasound) mobile unit, which would be equipped with the same resources as its brick-and-mortar facility: ultrasound machine, bathroom, sofa and meeting space. “It’s retrofitted, so it doesn’t look like a typical RV,� said Hermann.

The total cost to purchase the ICU mobile unit is $125,000, and Alpha estimates that it will need to raise another $75,000 to cover the fi rst year’s expenses, which would include the salary for an ultrasound tech.

As of Dec. 1, Alpha had raised $31,000, which is being held in an escrow account.

Alpha’s location on Highway 13 just north of Connelly Parkway in Savage is a converted house that is zoned commercial.

It will be listed for sale Jan. 1 for $299,900. The building includes a full upstairs with bedrooms that aren’t being utilized, as well as a kitchen and several offices on the main level. “We don’t need to be paying the overhead on a building that size,� said Hermann. “We hope another nonprofit will take advantage of the site.�

REACHING PEOPLE In addition to its mobile unit, Alpha would consider leasing a small office space in Shakopee or Chaska that is within walking distance to a bus line. “We would like to be closer to where the people are, in a more centralized location,� said Hermann. “If it’s convenient for people to get to it, they’ll get to it.�

Hermann also said it will be important for Alpha to be closer to the schools. “If the bus can’t take them

a higher level of care, right here, close to home.

Alpha Pregnancy Resource Center hopes to trade in its building on Highway 13 in Savage for an ICU Mobile unit like this one, which would be equipped with an ultrasound machine, bathroom, sofa and meeting space. to it or they can’t walk, they won’t seek out the resources,� said Hermann.

In its current Savage location, Hermann doesn’t believe Alpha is reaching the people. “Part of the problem with where Alpha is at now, people aren’t recognizing it. What does Alpha mean?� said Hermann.

Alpha’s Director Mary Johnson, who is a volunteer, agreed. “What’s most interesting about the mobile unit is that it will have no boundaries. In our current location we serve Scott and Carver counties, but we could go anywhere,� she said.

Hermann suggested that Alpha could park the ICU mobile unit in parking lots, at churches, on college campuses “or wherever they would let us park for the day,� she said. “Eighty-seven percent of women will choose life if they have that opportunity to see that ultrasound,� said Johnson.

TRANSITION With a mobile unit, Alpha’s hope is to cater to the “new face� of 19-24 year-old women who are more technologicallysavvy and, according to a letter from the Board of Directors, women who “no longer hesitate to have an abortion.�

During this transition period, Alpha will continue its mission of educating and counseling abortion-minded women and their partners, and offering pregnancy tests, ultrasounds and post-abortive recovery counseling. The center will be open by appointment only and will be run by volunteer staff.

The three paid staff mem-

bers who worked at Alpha will be out of jobs until the mobile unit is up and running. Then, Hermann said, they will most likely be hired back. “We’re trying to get lean and mean and really focus on putting this mobile unit into place,� said Johnson.

If Alpha receives the money it needs to buy the ICU Mobile unit prior to the sale of its building, the board of directors will decide whether to move forward with the mobile unit before the building is sold. “We are praying and hoping that the money comes soon,� said Hermann. “I know that there is some person out there that is willing to write a check to us.�

HISTORY Alpha open in 1982 with a long-term goal of having a maternity house. When the organization renovated and moved in 2000 to its current location at 13845 Highway 13 S. in Savage, one of the major components including having the maternity house in the upper level.

The maternity house was staffed and occupied for a few months in 20 03, but closed shortly after. Alpha has continued its counseling services, preg nancy tests and ultrasounds free of charge.

Alpha is one of 57 pregnancy resource centers in the state, according to Johnson, and Robbinsdale Women’s Center is also attempting to raise funds for the purchase of an ICU Mobile unit. “We’re excited about this mobile unit,� said Herman. “Wow, what this could do.�

Firefighters need help with hydrants The last thing fi refighters need when responding to a fi re is to dig through the snow to fi nd a hydrant.

Shakopee Public Utilities is working with the Fire Department to fi nd the “most buried” hydrants and those in critical locations near nursing homes, schools and the hospital, said Shakopee Public Utilities Director John Crooks.

Last Thursday’s rain has exposed the tops of many hydrants.

But with 1,850 fi re hydrants across town, fi refighters still need help from residents.

A few simple steps can save precious minutes during an emergency: I If you have a fi re hydrant in your yard, take a few minutes to clear it. Shovel a path at least three feet in width from the street to the hydrant and also around the hydrant.

I Even if the hydrant isn’t in your yard, consider “adopting” if it is not being cleared by the property owner.

I Make sure your house number isn’t covered by snow and can easily be seen from the street.

I Clear any walkways needed to access the building. (Shoveling a path to the house will also assist mail delivery.)

Savage cop critically hurt after squad car hits tree

BY ALEX HALL AND PAT MINELLI ahall@swpub.com

MORE ONLINE

A 39-year-old Savage police officer remained in critical condition Tuesday from injuries suffered when he lost control of his squad car on icy roads while responding to a call early Monday and struck a tree.

Officer Frank Mackall, of Cottage Grove, was removed from the vehicle by Savage fi refighters and airlifted to North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale. A press release from the Savage Police Department said that Mackall suffered head injuries in the crash.

The crash occurred just after 1 a.m. on Glendale Road near 137th Street, according to the State Patrol. Mackall’s squad car was northbound on Glendale and hit a tree on the west side of the road, said the Patrol. A passerby saw the accident and called 911, according to Savage police Capt. Dave Muelken. However another officer passed the scene prior to the 911 call and had already asked for assistance.

Police believe Mackall was on his way to assist fellow officers on a prowler call in the area of 131st Street and Glendale Road. As a result, “Officers

were able to get there very quickly,” said Muelken.

Mackall has been with the Savage Police Depa r t ment since July 2008. He was erroneously reported to be a Shakopee resident. He and his wife, Lisa, have three children. Mackall moved from Ohio to Minnesota in 2004. He worked as a patrol officer with the Woodbury Police Department for six months prior to joining the Savage Police Department. “[Mackall] is very active within the department, and very popular within the department,” Muelken said, noting that Mackall has volunteered to serve as a crime scene technician and a property/evidence technician for the department.

Mackall is also among a handful of officers in the department that are trained in crisis intervention. “He’s a very good officer; he has to be to take on that extra responsibility,” said Muelken.

The State Highway Patrol is investigating.

The Burnsville Police Department and Scott County sheriff’s deputies also responded to the crash scene.

“F rank’s family and the Savage Police Department are very thankful for the support from surrounding [law enforcement] agencies,” said Muelken.

Muelken also said that he has received “no less than a dozen e-mails” from people who have dealt with Mackall on police calls and wanted to know how he was doing.

Muelken said law enforcement officials from all over the metro have been coming to the hospital to show their support, some even bringing food and beverages for the family. He said that since this morning, Minneapolis Police Department Fourth Precinct Inspector Mike Martin, three officers from Robbinsdale, deputies from the Scott County Sheriff’s Office, at least a dozen Dakota County Drug Task Force members and at least a dozen Savage police officers have come to visit Mackall.

“It’s been unbelievable,” Muelken said of the response.

Shortly after joining the

Officer Frank Mackall Savage Police Department in summer 2008, Mackall was interviewed by the Savage Pacer newspaper. “Being a police officer is something I always wanted to do when I lived in Ohio,” Mackall said at the time. “I solidified that decision after I was presented with the opportunity to choose a new career when we moved to Minnesota.”

After moving to Minnesota, Mackall earned a degree in law enforcement from Metropolitan State University. Mackall said in the interview that he was drawn to law enforcement because of the new challenges police officers face every day.

“This is not your basic nineto-five job, there’s always a new challenge and that is what I was looking for,” he said.

Area boy, struck by vehicle, is home from the hospital A 14-year-old boy who was seriously inju red when he was struck by a vehicle while crossing Highway 13 in Prior Lake last month left Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis just before Christmas after spending more than three weeks in the hospital.

Seth Ratliff of Prior Lake continues to undergo outpatient physical and occupational therapy, and his father, Todd Voth, said he expects his son to possibly return to school sometime in the second week after winter break. Voth said Ratliff will be slowly worked back into a regular schedule at school.

Ratliff, a freshman at Prior Lake High School, was airlifted to HCMC on Nov. 28 after he was struck by a SUV traveling south on Highway 13. Ratliff was riding his bike, crossing Highway 13 nea r Oa k la nd Beach Avenue just before 8 a.m. when he was hit.

The driver of the SUV was 76-year-old Janice Miller of Prior Lake. According to the State Patrol accident report, several witnesses said that there was nothing Miller could have done to avoid the collision.

The boy was wearing a bike helmet, according to paramedics.

commentary EDITORIAL

City crime-rate decline credit: cops, community The news that Shakopee’s crime rate has dropped for five straight years through 2010 and is on pace to do it again in 2011 merits a pat on the back for the city Police Department and Police Chief Jeff Tate.

Shakopee, with more than 37,000 people, is no longer a small town. It is the bustling entertainment destination of the upper Midwest, with attractions such as Valleyfair, Canterbury Park, Renaissance Festival, The Landing and Mystic Lake Casino.

The community is also home to a major industrial park, with heavy truck traffic going in and out of the city. Add to that Highway 169, a major north-south regional thoroughfare that skirts through urban Shakopee.

What it means is that millions of people and vehicles go through town each year, with a good number spending more than a day here.

In a Valley News interview, Tate credited community residents for being active participants in crime

control. A few years ago, the Police Department began its Community Policing initiative, in which residents were encouraged to keep an eye on their neighborhood for anything suspicious and help police fight crime by reporting unusual activities. It’s apparent that the program is working.

“They’re not afraid to call police,” Tate said of Shakopee residents.

Another success for the Police Department: its case clearance rate climbed to 56 percent in 2010 — 10 percent higher than the consistent metro average.

While it’s true that crime rates are declining nationally, it doesn’t take any luster off the achievements of the Shakopee Police Department, particularly when one considers that few cities its size have the traffic and visitors of Shakopee.

Kudos to the Police Department and the residents of Shakopee for joining forces in keeping crime rates down.

Equipment changes but memories don’t slide away very easily Now that we finally have some snow on the ground we may be able use the new inflatable plastic/ rubber snow tubes that were under the tree; a very big change from the sleds or toboggans of my childhood. They lack any steering apparatus, but you can ride down the hill in cushioned comfort. Some changes are easier on the body than others.

Several sliding conveyances have coasted through my life, leaving their tracks. My first memory of sliding was at “Leonard’s Hill.”

It was across the highway and Dad used to take us there. I don’t know that anyone ever asked for permission, but often on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon (or during Christmas vacation) you would find five or six cars parked along the county road on top of the hill.

Dressed in boots that covered itchy wool socks, two pairs of patched pants, bulky coats that fit over layers of sweaters and sweatshirts, scratchy scarves wrapped tightly around the face and neck, stocking hats to keep the head warm and dry, with mittens clipped to coats, kids would climb out of station wagons and pull sleds, saucers and toboggans out of the back.

The sleds, “Flexible Flyers,” had metal runners and a wooden platform. They were supposed to steer, but it was rather an unreliable method. During one memorable run down that hill my sister, Colleen, and I had our faces cut up when we lost control of our sled on an icy spot. On another day I watched my brother, Terry, lose his hat halfway through an involuntary airborne flip on a saucer.

Before the roads were paved Dad would pull us around the neighborhood behind the car. I’m not sure Dad had his seatbelt on, and we certainly weren’t wearing any helmets — considered very dangerous now. The rolling hills that bordered our town and the wooded ravines that opened inside the city limits provided many sledding sites.

Below the hill, a half-mile from our house, was Goetz’s farm. When conditions were right I could walk to the end of our block and slide on the road almost the whole way. There in the woods above the old brewery was “Runaway,” a wild sliding run named by the boys who lived below the hill from my house. It took some

skill and luck to make it all the way to the bottom. Shari, a neighbor girl, broke her arm on a tree when she missed a turn on this hill.

Across town was a deep ravine near my friend Jim’s house. In junior high we spent many hours sliding down there with our heads covered with long tasseled stocking hats or something borrowed from Frosty and his legion of snowmen.

Those long runs and long days seemed to last forever.

Somewhere along the line, plastic began to replace wood and metal in sled construction, and then during high school I put away the sleds for snowmobiles, skis and a Chevette. It wasn’t until many years later that I rediscovered the joy of sliding with my children. About that time I went to Mom and Dad’s house and grabbed the old flyer off the garage wall.

I pulled my two kids around on it for trick-or-treating in 1991 before most of the 29 inches fell.

We replaced the steel and wood sled with a series of cheap plastic models after Jennifer, my daughter, and I hit a bump on a steep hill behind our house and the sled hit her in the face. The snow angels protected her from harm greater than a big bruise. I carried the sled and a very unhappy little girl up the hill.

Jennifer is now a happy, married young woman and the sled has made tracks to her house. There was a day when that sled flew down the hills, but now it sits quietly in her yard; a gift to decorate her home during her first Christmas out of our house.

Some changes are harder on the body than others.

Mayor, consult with rest of City Council To Mayor-elect Brad Tabke: Let me start by congratulating you on your success in the mayoral campaign. I wish you well in your new job. However, I would extend a word of caution.

The Dec. 28 Star Tribune had an article covering the fact that you thought it was time to meet with the Native American tribe and the article goes on to cover your meeting with them.

As mayor, you are one of five officials elected to guide our community forward and the proper approach would be to consult with the other four to review the pros and cons and possible pitfalls and get their agreement beforehand. The council members are expected to do likewise

at an open session of the regular meetings.

Reaching out and looking for new ways to do things is good, but I doubt that the above procedure was used in this change of direction for the city.

Please accept this as constructive criticism for the future.

Monnens family thanks community With all of our hearts and appreciation, we would like to thank everyone who helped make the “I Like Mike Benefit” on Dec. 16 an outstanding success and night. It is absolutely an uplifting experience to have the people and the community rise up and not only show how

wonderful and giving people can be, but how large their hearts and generosity are.

The number of people who took the time to help and attend that night truly took us back to the Minnesotan “small town” feel and sense of cooperation and congeniality — it was and is inspiring.

From the overwhelming response and tireless efforts of the organizers and volunteers, to all the donations received are too many to be mentioned here, but your hard work and unselfi sh generosity will forever be in our hearts and minds.

Thank you all for your prayers and concerns for Mike and our family. God bless.

Kristy Monnens Shakopee This was written on behalf of the Monnens family.

New mayor asks for help of community members This all happened very quickly.

Six months ago, I had no idea I would run for a political office, let alone be writing to you as Shakopee’s mayor. Running for mayor was more fun than I ever expected it to be and I am honored to serve Shakopee and look forward to a great two years.

Our win on Nov. 8 is a direct result of Shakopee residents standing up and taking a leap that Shakopee can be more than it has been. Together, we can move forward and embrace a future that is bigger and brighter than anything we have done before.

Before we get too far, I want to thank my beautiful wife and our amazing girls. Thank you for your love and support through this entire process. Thank you Kevin Wetherille and your wonderful family. Our success was due directly to your hard work, tenacity and dedication to Shakopee. We also have a new family to thank!

Thank you to the thousands of people who volunteered, donated and voted.

Now is the time to keep moving!

Through the next two years, I hope and expect you will continue to engage with the civic process, come to City Council meetings, talk with your neighbors, post information on Facebook and Twitter, let me know how I am doing and keep me accountable for moving toward the ideals we established during our campaign.

As a community, we can’t sit idly by and wait for economic development to come to us, we can’t continue to be a community disconnected by geography and

culture and we cannot move forward without specific goals for what we want to achieve. As mayor, you can expect me to work on these things my first year in office.

It is amusing when people find out I am mayor-elect; they usually stop for a split second, cock their head to the side and squint their eyes a bit. I don’t look like the “normal” mayor. I don’t plan on acting like one either. As mayor, I want to work with the other City Council members as a board of directors that thinks big in setting a long-term vision and devises specific goals for city staff, advisory boards and commissions. Then, we give these groups the ability and trust to make decisions and move forward with clear direction.

Often I am asked what are the first things I’d like to do as mayor. They are always: 1) economic development, 2) economic development and 3) economic development. I believe we are uniquely positioned with our low tax rate and in an ideal location to make major strides in

attracting jobs and retail as the economy rebounds. As a council, we must clearly focus on economic development in maintaining and growing our business community.

Big discussions must be had about the 101/downtown corridor, the sign ordinance and embracing our potential as the entertainment capital of the upper Midwest — focusing constantly on how these items affect Shakopee’s economy.

While focusing on Shakopee’s economic development, we also must work to bring Shakopee’s different neighborhoods and cultures closer together. We can do this through community-building and utilizing technology, but I will be looking for your help and input to accomplish this.

The next two years will not be easy or straightforward. There are difficult decisions to be made; not everyone will be happy with the answers and we won’t agree on everything. But I know with your help and by working together we will accomplish small actions that get the flywheel spinning and great actions that better position us for the future. We are working to keep you informed and engaged.

Follow the Shakopee Valley News and Shakopee Patch, sign up for informational e-mails and podcasts, follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Google — whatever works best for your lifestyle. All of these can be found on our website at www.bradtabke.com/connect.

Thank you, again and I wish you a happy, healthy 2012!

Prior Lake City Council opts against comment on land-trust application Prior Lake City Council members will not enter the fray regarding the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community’s latest application for trust land.

The council opted Tuesday not to comment on the tribe’s request to place 23 acres of land along County Road 42 into trust status, meaning the tribe would gain planning control over the property and the land would be taken off property tax rolls.

Surrounding governmental entities, including Prior Lake, Shakopee and Scott County, have the opportunity to comment before the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) considers the request, though they’re not required to, and the cities and county don’t have any approval authority.

T h ou g h S h a ko p e e C it y Council members and some

the difficulty of planning for city infrastructure and schools without knowing what the tribe plans to do.

For instance, Eagle Creek Elementary School was built to support neighborhoods that won’t be built because of foreclosed property sold to the tribe.

Councilors would like to know more about the tribe’s long-term vision for development, so the city can improve its own planning.

“This has to be a two-way conversation — not just their needs, but also our needs,” said Councilor Matt Lehman.

Rather than throw around “the toys in the sandbox every time this comes up,” Councilor Steve Clay suggested the city pursue a joint commission with the tribe, city of Prior Lake and Scott County on environmental, transportation and landuse planning.

Forming a joint-planning agreement may require the tribe to give up a bit of its sovereignty, Clay said, but the local jurisdictions wouldn’t then need to “fight these battles” every time an application is made.

on the Scott County Board have continually opposed the tribe’s requests for trust land, Prior Lake generally has been seen as an ally, with that city’s council supporting the tribe on numerous requests in the past and partnering on a variety of community projects. In fact, the tribe annually gives Prior Lake about $380,000 in “local aid” as a contribution to road projects and park upgrades.

Council members said they want to balance the need to protect valuable land with the desire to keep a good relationship with the tribe — a key reason they opted not to raise their concerns about future economic development in the midst of the current tribal land application.

“I’m looking at this as an opportunity for communication between the tribal community and the city,” said Councilman

“Something like that would go a long way toward making so many things easier for us in the long-term,” he said.

The tribal community has a contested election on Jan. 17, so it is unknown if the leadership is open to such an idea.

Clay said Shakopee’s issues aren’t that much different than with a previous trust application, although the city now has a consent decree with the BIA that sets certain parameters for the consideration of trust applications. T his consent decree put an end to years of litigation on a previous application.

A bone of contention for the city may be the tribe’s request that the BIA fi nd no need for a Nationa l Envi ron menta l Protection Act environmental analysis. This study considers the cumulative impacts of all acquisitions of land into trust, rather than just an analysis of the most immediate impact of an individual acquisition.

“This kind of analysis is key to the city and tribe having a clear understanding of the long-term impacts on land use, transportation and other infrastructure,” city staff advised in a memo. “That such NEPA analysis would and should occur for future acquisitions

Warren Erickson. “I think we start on a staff level, and have our city manager be in contact with [Tribal Administrator] Bill Rudnicki, to set up the terms of a relationship committee.”

Council members hope city and tribal staff can establish a sort of joint-planning council to address the land ownership push-and-pull between them.

The tribe aims to place land into trust to gain development control and secure more land for its members, while city leaders worry they will lose potentially valuable land.

The tribe uses the 23-acre piece of land under consideration by the BIA for its Wozupi community gardens, where produce is grown for tribal members and for sale at the tribe’s natural food store, Mazopiya.

Prior Lake to page 14 were key to the city’s decision to enter into the consent decree with the BIA.”

COURT CASE A recent Supreme Court decision, Carcieri v. Salazar, has cast doubt on whether the tribe will continue to qualify for trust status under the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act. The decision bars tribes that weren’t under federal jurisdiction at the time of the act from obtaining trust status, which removes lands from property tax rolls and non-tribal zoning regulations.

The county and tribe disagree whether the case applies to the tribe.

Scott County, which opposes the latest land trust application, says the tribe wasn’t federally recognized until 1969. The tribe says the Department of the Interior considers the community previously federally recognized as part of the Lower Sioux Indian Community.

City Councilor Jay Whiting predicted Congress will eventually act to address the court case.

The matter will likely be decided, regardless of whether the city of Shakopee chooses to weigh in, City Attorney James Thomson advised.

Microwave antennas, the increasingly familiar dish-on-a-stick that towers 10 feet or more above residential rooftops, are used to pick up microwave signals sent from the top of the IDS Tower in Minneapolis that carry broadcasts of Home Box Office (HBO) – the primarily first-run, recent and classic movies without commercials.

Washington County attorney finds Wagner didn’t break law

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

Several weeks before Commissioner Joe Wagner moved to fi re Scott County Administrator Gary Shelton, the Scott County attorney and sheriff asked Washi ng ton Cou nt y to consider whether Wagner broke any laws by his involvement with a witness in a childinjury investigation.

The Washing ton County Attorney’s Office recently declined to charge Wagner following an investigation.

Wagner believes the investigation was politically motivated by County Attorney Pat Ciliberto and Sheriff Kevin Studnicka, but said his attempt to terminate Shelton is completely unrelated, although he is unhappy with how Shelton handled the matter.

Wagner — who accompanied the witness during an inter view by Scott County detectives — was accused of lying to a county human services worker in a separate conversation about whether he knew the woman, who is a day care provider. The woman is Wagner’s sister-in-law through marriage.

I n September, t he Scot t County Sheriff’s Office began investigating the report of an injured baby, due to allegations that the baby may have been abused while at the woman’s Helena Township day care. The woman reported the injury on Sept. 20 to emergency officials, according to sheriff’s records.

As is county practice, a county human services worker called to notify Wagner when the woman’s day care license was suspended because the day care is in his commis-

Shelton — was also short on specifics, although he stated he’s long had trust issues with Shelton.

Prior to Tuesday’s meeting, Wagner was fairly tight-lipped, although he called Shelton a “bully” and made an issue of remarks Shelton has made about a side business he owns.

“All I’m going to say is it’s time for a change,” Wagner said after Ulrich attacked him during Tuesday’s meeting.

Ulrich — who made dozens of calls to leaders throughout Scott County in recent weeks to gather support for Shelton — said he talked with around 60 elected or high officials and “without exception they were shocked, dismayed and pretty angry about this course of action.”

Wagner responded that none of them work with Shelton.

“Yes, they do,” Ulrich said.

“Not like we do,” Wagner said.

It appears those calls may have persuaded Wolf, who was evasive following the meeting, but admitted to reporter that he had considered dismissing Shelton.

But Wolf stayed out of the ruckus during Tuesday’s discussion. Wagner rolled his head back when he heard Wolf say nay along with Marschall and Ulrich.

Menden, a for mer Scot t County sheriff and sheriff’s deputy who worked with Shelton at the county jail, seconded Wagner’s motion. He said there is a lot of mistrust between him and Shelton, and he has a list of 20 grievances at home.

“There is no trust there. I’m always watching my back when he comes up with things,” Menden said. “There’s a whole list of things I prefer not to bring up. I would just feel a lot more comfortable with a different county administrator.”

Ulrich questioned why Menden rated Shelton positively during a fall performance review.

Mended responded that he gave Shelton a couple zeros, but rated him highly in the knowledge category because Shelton is “very knowledgeable.”

Prior to Tuesday’s meeting, Wagner said he’s had a long history of disagreements with Shelton and it all “boiled to a head” a few weeks ago. He told Shelton he no longer wanted him as county administrator during a contentious chair/ vice chair meeting with Shelton and the County Attorney Pat Ciliberto.

Marschall asked Kemme on Tuesday for a brief overview of

sioner district.

According to the investigation by Washington County, the human services worker claims she asked Wagner if he knew the day care provider prior to providing him with any significant level of information about the incident. The human services worker reported that Wagner told her he was not familiar with the woman.

Wagner vehemently denies that he lied to the human service worker. He told the Valley News that their conversation lasted a minute or less and he informed her at the end of their conversation that the day care provider was his sister-in-law.

He said he did not receive any inside information from the human services worker.

Wagner says he notified the county administrator prior to accompanying his sister-in-law to the Scott County’s Sheriff’s Office.

Although the woman happens to be a relative through ma r riage, Wag ner said he frequently accompanies constituents in their dealings with the county.

“People ask me, I just go. I have lived here my entire life; I am 57 years old; I have connections to everybody,” he said.

Wagner said he didn’t realize the nature of the interview, though, until he realized they were entering an interrogation room.

He would have gladly left, he said, if deputies had asked him to.

“W hat do you think, I’m Sherlock Holmes sitting in this room? I’ve got a lot better things to do than sitting in this room by the way, but she called, she asked me, this is what I do,” Wagner said.

Shelton’s last performance review. She said Shelton is keeping the budget on target and taxes in line, and the county can’t afford the costs associated with terminating him and finding a replacement.

“And who would we get as an administrator that is better than he?” she asked, adding that none of the administrators she knows from other counties could do a better job.

If Menden has a list of grievances, Ulrich said he should bring it out.

“If it’s going to be all personal stuff, we’re here to represent the public,” Ulrich said.

“If we got a personal feeling, get over it.”

“Some is personal, I’ll admit,” Menden said. “When he tries to do everything possible so you don’t get elected. The rest is business and ethical.”

Ulrich said Menden alleges Shelton helped former County Commissioner Jerry Hennen’s re-election bid. He encouraged Menden to speak with Hennen, who told Ulrich that Shelton had stayed neutral during the election. Menden defeated incumbent Hennen a year ago.

Menden said he has spoken to Hennen several times, including just the other night.

After repeated questioning following the meeting, Wolf admitted to a reporter that he also had considered terminating Shelton.

“I did n’t fe el t here wa s enough to oust him,” he said.

Wolf acknowledged he was concerned about Shelton’s ownership of Midwest Monitoring, a corrections technology company that Shelton sold to SecureAlert, while retaining temporary managerial responsibilities. He is the general manager until September.

Wolf said he was satisfied with Shelton’s explanation that he does not work for the company on county time.

Shelton, who is widely known to have owned Midwest Monitoring, told the Valley News it is written into his contract with SecureAlert that his county job is his fi rst responsibility.

Shelton said he only works for SecureAlert on weekends and evenings. He also said he is required to disclose stocks and personal fi nancial interests as a county administrator.

Wagner told a Valley News reporter that he doesn’t like how Shelton brags about his outside business. He said in the

Wagner said he talked to Shelton in advance of the interview and Shelton advised him not to say anything.

“All of sudden …. I hear, Joe, that wasn’t appropriate for you to be there. You shouldn’t have been there,” Wagner said.

Wagner said he only spoke once during the interview, to relay an experience he once had, but he was cut of f by deputies.

Shelton told the Valley News he advised Wagner to not accompany the woman, but Wagner told him he had already told her he would.

Shelton says he believe he responded that Wagner should then “stay out of it,” only being moral support, and not say anything.

Five days after this conversation, Wagner said, Shelton handed him a piece of paper suspending any information being given from human services because Wagner accompanied the woman.

Scott County Sheriff Kevin Studnicka later became aware that Wagner sat in during the questioning by detectives and that Wagner had also spoken to the human services worker.

Studnicka said he decided to refer the case to Washington County because of the allegation that Wagner was not forthright with the human services caseworker about his relationship to the day care provider before the employee shared case information with him.

If he had known in advance that Wagner planned to accompany the day care provider at the Sheriff’s Office, Studnicka said he would have instructed his deputies to ask Wagner to leave. Normally, only attor-

past Shelton has remarked that he paid cash for his Lexus.

Wagner said he became really upset when Shelton mentioned during a recent Truthin-Taxation hearing how much his home was worth. (Shelton discussed how his taxes were f luctuating when a resident with a similar-valued property mentioned how much his taxes were rising.) He believes Shelton did this just to irk him, knowing Wagner wouldn’t have the votes to terminate him.

Wagner believes Shelton was a good fit under former County Administrator Dave Unmacht because the two played “bad cop, good cop,” but says he was never comfortable with Shelton becoming the lead administrator. He voted against hiring Shelton in 2009, at the time saying he wanted the county to open the position to outside applicants.

Shelton has declined to comment on Wagner’s rationale for wanting to fi re him, only saying he could speculate as to why.

Ulrich claimed during the board meeting that Wagner is upset Shelton didn’t protect him in regard to an investigation into his involvement in a criminal investigation. “[Shelton] said, ‘Hands off and let it play out,’” Ulrich said.

Wagner, although unhappy with how Shelton handled the matter, says it had nothing to do with his decision to seek Shelton’s removal.

Wagner told the Valley News he’s had disagreements with Shelton over the last dozen years and things “boiled to a head” a few weeks ago.

“I’m uncomfortable with his style of leadership — things of that nature,” Wagner said.

The Sand Creek Township funeral director and apple farmer said he told Shelton he was no longer comfortable with him as county administrator at the end of a contentious County Board chair-vice chair meeting a few weeks ago. He mentioned that it was Wolf, though, who did a lot of the shouting.

“Believe me, this is not a sneak attack,” Wagner said.

“I would love to go on a 15-minute little tirade about him. I would love to air my laundry in regards to him, the irritations I’ve had for 12, 13 years,” Wagner said.

Asked about the chair-vice chair meeting, Wolf declined to comment much on the matter, citing it as a personnel issue. However, he said ahead of Tuesday’s meeting that he did not plan to second Wagner’s motion.

“He can do what he wants,” Wolf said of Wagner.

neys accompany someone who is interviewed as a person of interest, Studnicka said.

“If I would have known, I would have told Commissioner Wagner it was inappropriate,” Studnicka said.

Sheriff’s staff didn’t make an issue of Wagner being there, Studnicka said, because they were a little intimated that Wagner is a commissioner and also because they didn’t want to offend Wagner. He noted that Wagner did not pressure the deputies to let him be there.

Once he became aware that a human services worker was allegedly misled, Studnicka said he was left in an “awkward position,” in that he could look bad for not having the matter

explored further, but it could also appear he was going after a commissioner.

He said the case was referred to Washington County to avoid a conflict of interest.

But Wag ner believes the investigation was politically motivated because of his earlier role in billboards that went up mocking Studnicka and Ciliberto for seeking raises from the county.

Studnicka said if he was politically motivated, his office would have completed the investigation itself and there would have been charges.

After an investigation by Washi ng ton Cou nty detectives, the Washington County Attorney’s Office declined to

charge Wagner.

Although prosecutor Richard Hodsdon believes Wagner misled the human services worker, he found no evidence Wagner did so to aid his sisterin-law or hinder the criminal investigation.

Furthermore, there is no evidence Wag ner gathered any data about the child injury case that was beyond his lawful authority to obtain it, the Dec. 9 memo said.

T he chi ld i nju r y, which was reported Sept. 20 to the Sheriff’s Office by the Helena Township day care provider, is still under investigation. The case has been referred to the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office for review.

A man from Savage convicted of sexually assaulting two young girls under his care on multiple occasions will not have to serve time in prison as long as he doesn’t violate his probation, a Scott County judge ruled earlier this month.

On Dec. 6, Scott County Judge Caroline Lennon gave Robert William Gallahar, 79, a stayed 7½-year prison sentence and 15 years of probation, meaning that as long as Gallahar doesn’t violate his probation, he won’t have to serve any of that time in prison. Conditions of Gallahar’s probation include 365 days of electronic home monitoring, no use of the Internet and completion of sex-offender treatment.

In August, Gallahar pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of possessing child pornography.

Gallahar forwent a jury trial, instead choosing to have his case decided by a judge.

L en non fou nd Ga l l a h a r guilty of nine counts of seconddegree criminal sexual conduct, but found him not guilty of two other counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct. The prosecution dismissed the child pornography charge.

Gal lahar was original ly charged in the summer of 2010 after the victims, who were roughly 9 and 10 years old at the time of the assaults, came forward to police.

According to the formal complaint, the assaults included rubbing the girls’ genitals, both over and underneath their underwear, while Gallahar looked at pornography, and

PRIOR LAKE continued from page 6

Property taxes levied on the parcel in 2011 amounted to $4,797, but some city officials estimated the potential annual taxes could be as high as $ 63,000 if the tribe develops the property in the future. Another figure puts the potential tax revenue at $1.55 million per year for the 56 9 tribal acres currently in fee status.

Councilman Ken Hedberg said he doesn’t know where that number came from and isn’t convinced it’s accurate.

Mayor Mike Myser said he hopes the city and tribe can

pulling out his genitals and rubbing them on one of the girls over her clot hes. T he girls were not together at the time of the assaults.

One of the Robert girls told poGallahar lice that she was assaulted on five to six occasions. According to the complaint, the assaults started in the summer of 2009 and continued until March 2010.

County Attorney Pat Ciliberto said that after the conviction, the prosecution asked that Gallahar be sentenced to 90 months, or seven-and-a-half years, in prison, and that Scott County Community Corrections also recommended Gallahar spend time in prison.

“We prosecuted the case, we secured the guilty fi nding and it’s up to the judge to make a decision on the sentence,” said Ciliberto. “That’s all I’m going to say.”

Ciliberto said prosecuting attorney Ronald Hocevar argued for upward sentencing guidelines to be applied in the case because of the children’s ages and the severity of the crimes.

However, Gallahar’s attorney in the case, Michael McDonald, instead argued that Gallahar shouldn’t have to serve time in prison because of his advanced age, various medical conditions, his lack of criminal history and because he was willing to undergo to sex offender treatment.

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

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

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

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

L e n no n w a s out o f t h e country and was unable to be reached for comment.

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

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

According to McDonald, of the 9.000-plus inmates in Minnesota prisons, only two are age 80 or older. Gallahar will turn 80 next September.

“He wou ld have been in pretty select company,” said McDonald.

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

continue to collaborate, though he said there hasn’t been an “elected- of ficial-to - electedofficial relationship” for about a year-and-a-half (about the amount of time Myser has been mayor; previous Mayor Jack Haugen often touted his own ability to work with tribal officials).

Myser and Councilman Richard Keeney said they’re concerned that any land removed from the city tax rolls limits its ability to plan for future development. But they still support putting together a planning council with the tribe.

“We have about 600 residents who are employed by the SMSC,” Myser said. “They’re

our largest employer. It’s incumbent upon us to develop a close working relationship as best we can.”

Keeney said he’d like to see collaboration with the tribe to retain “prime, key pieces of real estate” for economic development within city limits, while still allowing the tribe to expand its enterprises.

“If the SMSC truly intends to keep this land as an organic garden, maybe there’s a better 23 acres somewhere that we could fully support and leave this for some future economic development,” Keeney said. “There are only so many of these pieces of land along County Road 42 that are going to become available.”

SHAKOPEE GIRLS HOCKEY

A building block Sabers win twice in EP tournament

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

After a tough start at a holiday tournament, the Shakopee girls hockey team fi nished strong.

The Sabers began the Eden Prairie Mid-Winter Meltdown Tournament with a 6-0 loss but recovered to win its next two games and claim the consolation title.

“The EP tourney was a good building block for us,” head coach Matt Klein said. “We were short-benched throughout the tournament with an injury, two sicknesses and a vacationer, but the girls really battled through and played a brand of hockey that will hopefully bring us more success in the second half of the season.”

The tournament opened up with Eden Prairie beating Shakopee 6-0.

In that game, Eden Prairie fi red 50 shots on net to just 15 for the Sabers.

The Sabers didn’t let that ga me get to t hem as t hey bounced back to win their next two games to salvage the consolation title.

Shakopee defeated North Metro 3-2 to advance to the consolation fi nals.

Against North Metro, the game was tied at 2-2 late in the third period when Amy Menke scored with 1:04 left in the game on assists from Lauren Hespenheide and Alex Lebens.

Lebens started the scoring as she put the Sabers up 1-0

with a goal at 8:37 of the fi rst.

North Metro tied it with less than two minutes left in the fi rst period.

Menke gave Shakopee a 2-1 lead with a short-handed goal at 1:58 of the second period.

T hat lead held up u nti l North Metro tied it at 2-2 with a goal at 1:45 of the third.

The game appeared to be headed for over time unti l Menke broke the tie.

G oa lie K a r y n n Ada ms earned the win for Shakopee by stopping 32 of 34 shots.

North Metro’s goalie Meaghan Wenner stopped 31 of 34 shots.

In the consolation final, Shakopee again scored late to pull out a 4-3 win against Cloquet-Esko-Carlton.

Again it was Menke who scored the game-winner for the Sabers.

C-E-C tied the game at 3-3 at 4:45 of the third period when Carley Esse scored.

Three minutes later Menke scored an unassisted goal to give the Sabers a 4-3 lead.

Esse started the scoring at 10:31 of the fi rst period to give Cloquet a 1-0 lead.

Chelsea Behnke tied it up with a goal at 14:51 of fi rst.

Two tournament losses for cagers Sabers drop two Sabers drop to 2-6 on season

in conference

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

It wasn’t the break that the Shakopee boys basketball team had hoped for.

The Sabers headed into the holiday break with a win but couldn’t carry that momentum into the Lakeville North tournament as they lost both games.

Even though they played some very good basketball in stretches it wasn’t enough to get a couple of wins.

Shakopee opened the tournament with a 64-48 loss to No. 4-ranked Lakeville North on Dec. 28. They fi nished the tournament with a 62-54 loss to Stillwater the next day.

In the loss to Lakevi l le North, Shakopee started the game on a 6-0 run but couldn’t hold on to that lead.

After that quick start, North outscored the Sabers 32-19 to grab a seven-point halftime lead.

North continued to wear down Shakopee in the second half and outscored the Sabers by nine points to get the 16-point victory.

“We played well in stretches but also had some letdowns,” head coach Bruce Kugath said.

“It was during those letdowns that Lakeville went on 6-0 runs to extend their lead. We can’t afford to let down against teams as good as Lakeville North.”

Tyler Weiss led the Sabers with 17 points followed by John Burlager’s 16.

Against Stillwater, a bad stretch late in the fi rst half did Shakopee in.

Stillwater fi nished the fi rst half by outscoring the Sabers by 10 and went into the locker room leading 39-22.

Boys hockey team hasn’t won in over a month

Dominick Schleper tries to get into the lane for the Shakopee boys basketball team.

“The last nine minutes of the fi rst half was our poorest showing of the year,” Kugath said. “Not a lot went well for us.”

The Sabers put that bad stretch behind them in the second half and got back into the game by cutting Stillwater’s lead to six points.

That’s as close as they would get as Stillwater won by eight.

“As poorly as we played in the fi rst half, we played very well in the second,” Kugath said. “It was a tribute to the guys in the way they came back.

We had a chance to win.”

The rough patch continues for the Shakopee boys hockey team.

After losing their last two games to Red Wing and Farmington, the Sabers have fallen to 2 -9 -1 on the season and haven’t won a game in over a month.

Their last win came on Dec. 2 when they defeated Rosemount 4-3.

The losses to Red Wing and Farmington make them 0-2 on the season in Missota Conference play.

In the loss to Farmington on Dec. 30 at the Shakopee Ice Arena, the Tigers scored three second-period goals to turn a 2-1 lead into a 5-1 win against the Sabers.

Farmington scored with five minutes left in the fi rst period

to grab a 1-0 lead.

It pumped in a short-handed goal at the 6-minute mark of the second to go up 2-0.

Andrew Long scored for the Sabers at 7:34 on assists from Sheldon Miks and Ben Jasper to cut the lead to 2-1.

After that it was all Farmington as it scored twice in 1:30 in the second period to go up 4-1.

Farmington scored a powerplay goal late in the third to ice the game away.

Sabers goalie Sean Surbaugh stopped 41 shots in the loss. Farmington’s Victor Simones turned back 27 shots.

Against Red Wing, Shakopee lost 8-3 on Dec. 30 at the Shakopee Ice Arena.

The Wingers got on board early by scoring just two minutes into the game.

T hey added t h ree more goals before the end of the fi rst period and led 4-1.

The lead was pushed to 7-1 in the second when Red Wing scored three more times to blow the game wide open.

Weiss continued his strong play as he scored 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds.

Weiss hit seven of nine shots in the game.

“Tyler shot very well and did a great job of trying to energize the troops,” Kugath said.

Jake Maiers added 14 points and Burlager had 10.

“Ja ke had a ver y good night. If we can get him to be more consistent, he will make us a better team,” Kugath said. “John’s work ethic is second to none. If we had five players working as hard as John, we would be fi ne.”

WHEN THE WORST HAPPENS, IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN EVERYONE.

The Shakopee girls basketball team returned from a 12-day layoff on Tuesday night with a 14-point loss to No. 2-ranked Edina.

Shakopee hung with the Hornets for most of the game but in the end Edina was too much for the Sabers.

Shakopee trailed 37-35 with eight minutes left in the game but was outscored 19-7 down the stretch to lose 56 - 4 2 at Edina. “We had some mental breakdowns and they wore us out,� head coach Juan Mitchell said.

MSHSL looking for basketball memorabilia T h e M i n n e s o t a S t at e High School League will be celebrating the 100th state basketball tournament, and is looking for basketball mementos and memorabilia to display at this year’s tournaments.

Items such as tou r nament programs, books about the tournament, newspap er clippi ngs, ba l l s a nd uniforms, trophies, photographs — anything related to either the boys or girls state tournament is needed to fi ll display cases for fans to enjoy whi le at Ta rget Center for the 2 012 state tournaments.

Leag ue sta f f will take great care in securing any contributed item and will make sure it is returned in the same condition in which it was received. The league can arrange for pickup or delivery of items if required.

“Give them credit. They made shots when they had to.�

Mitchell said his team got tired down the stretch, which led to the mistakes they made as Edina pulled away. “When you get tired, you start making mistakes,� Mitchell said. “The layoff had nothing do with it. It was the pressure that they put us under.�

Shakopee hadn’t played a game since it defeated Jordan at home on Dec. 22.

The Sabers only trailed by three at halftime as they held

the high-scoring Hornets to just 23 points in the first 18 minutes.

The defense held tight until the fi nal eight minutes when Edina went on its late run.

Even in defeat, Mitchell said the Sabers got better and the game will help them as they head into Missota Conference action. “We did a lot of nice things,� he said. “We just have to be a little smarter.�

The conference portion of their schedule begins on Friday as the Sabers travel to Chanhassen to battle one of the two teams that Shakopee shared the conference title with last season. “It’s a nice way to start the conference season,� Mitchell said.
