Maddox to serve 20 years in prison Murderer sentenced to a total of 30 years

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

Lois Lipka held a birthday card she had bought for what would have been her daughter’s 48th birthday Saturday while asking Scott County District Court Judge Jerome Abrams for the maximum sentence for Ruth Anne Maddox’s killer.

Charles Anthony “Tony” Maddox Jr. will spend 20 years in prison for his estranged wife’s death.

Maddox, 48, who was convicted of second-degree murder in June, was

sentenced Wednesday in Scott County District Court to 30 years — 20 in prison and another 10 on supervised release.

“You will have the next 20 years. I know where you’re going to be and I know what you’re going to be thinking about,” Abrams told Maddox after pronouncing the sentence.

In court, Maddox’s lawyer, Fred Bruno, said an appeal was imminent.

He could not be reached for comment following the sentence.

In June, a jury convicted Maddox of murdering Ruth Anne, likely by crushing her neck with a door following an argument in the early morning of Nov. 11, 2008. The Prior Lake woman died of blunt force inju-

We want your photos, stories Your stories and photos mean a lot to us.

So much so, that the Shakopee Valley News is organizing an ongoing campaign to collect them from you, on a regular basis.

We call this our “reader callouts” campaign, because we’re putting a call out to readers, asking you to submit your best pictures and stories.

While we have long had an ongoing reader callout — “Send us your news!” — the series of reader callouts we’re focusing on here are for specific stories or photos, such as “What moved you on 9/11?”

We’ll start out with two or three reader callouts per month, on timely topics, and

as participation grows we’ll publish a new one each week.

We’ll promote our reader callout topics in print and online — in the newspaper you’ll often see them on Page 2, and in an advertisement elsewhere in the paper.

If you decide to participate — and we hope you will — you can e-mail your photos or stories to editor@ shakopeenews.com. The photo files you send will need to be large ones — 3 MB or larger — so that they reproduce well.

Our first reader callout coincides with the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America.

The 9/11 attacks on New York City and Washington,

County, St. Francis want to join forces in Jordan Jordan offered $500,000 toward library; clinic planned

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

Seniors could live next a new library and St. Francis Regional Medical Center’s fi rst satellite clinic under a major development proposal unveiled this month by Scott County for the city of Jordan.

The package — which includes a $1 million loan and unusual $500,000 contribution from Scott County for a new county library — wowed town leaders so much that the Jordan City Council signed off on the proposal two weeks after fi rst seeing it.

“This is four of the five things I think Jordan has wanted for a number of years now and it’s all going to come together as one,” said County Board Chair Tom Wolf of Credit River Township, a Jordan native and former Friends of the Library treasurer.

The development would include 50 senior apartments, an 8,000-square-foot library (six times larger than the current one), a pharmacy and a clinic run by St. Francis. Scott County commissioners gave their blessing last week.

“I wish all our libraries were attached to this kind of concept,” said Commissioner Jon Ulrich of Savage. “If I was a Jordan resident, I’d have two reactions — wow and thanks.”

A similar project — minus the clinic and pharmacy — is under construction in Elko New Market and expected to open in March.

The Scott County Community Development Agency already owns the land, which it acquired at the end of July near the intersection of Seville Drive and Creek Lane in Jordan’s Triangle Business District. It would fund and operate the independent senior living units (estimated to cost $7.7 million).

Shakopee man dies from crash injuries RAPID CITY, S.D. – A Shakopee man died F r id ay a fter his motorcycle slid into the rear of a stopped Robert pic k up o n Best U.S. H i g hway 85, according to the South Dakota Highway Patrol.

Authorities said the brake on the motorcycle ridden by 54-year-old Robert Best locked up, causing him to lay the bike down on the highway and slide into the back of a pickup.

The State Patrol said Best died from his injuries at a Spearfish, S.D. hospital.

Kelley Nible, the driver of the pickup, was not injured.

He was charged with having invalid license plates and a seat-belt violation.

Proposed is a four-level building. St. Francis may choose to lease space in the complex for a clinic and pharmacy or construct its own building next door.

This would be St. Francis’ first clinic outside of Shakopee.

“We’ve been looking at the community of Jordan for a number of years,” said hospital spokeswoman Theresa Johnson. “As far as an area hospital, St. Francis has the majority of the health care market in Jordan, so it was a natural choice for us to look at adding a clinic there.”

Other sites the hospital had considered in Jordan didn’t pan out because of soil conditions. This proposal is now moving forward.

St. Francis’ business development director Michael Morris said the hospital was looking at the same piece of property when the CDA purchased the land. The county then approached St. Francis about a partnership.

“We want to work with the county,” Morris said. “The details just have to be flushed out.”

By partnering, the cost for all parties would be lowered, said Deputy County Commissioner Lezlie Vermillion.

A WIN-WIN The city of Jordan has struggled for more than a decade to raise money and pick a location for its crowded downtown facility.

Library construction is now estimated at $1.5 million, compared to previous estimates of $3 million or $4 million, said county Chief Financial Officer Kevin Ellsworth.

In addition to lending Jordan $1 million (with a 20-year, annual $68,000 payback), the county plans to contribute up to $500,000 toward construction,

similar to the extra assistance it provided Elko New Market.

None of the other county libraries received such a helping hand.

Vermillion said the additional contribution is necessary to make the project feasible for a small town.

She also said the county can leverage its contribution to have a say in the technology infrastructure, which will be more cost-efficient for county operations. Part will go toward connecting the library to the county’s fiber ring, being on the county phone system and utilizing electronic card-readers for security purposes.

County Board Chair Wolf said the county’s contribution is based on need, and noted the county will earn interest off the 20-year-loan.

“We are going to get money back out of the project,” he said, following the meeting.

Commissioner Dave Menden of Shakopee, who supports the concept, said he realizes the county is contributing $500,000 extra, but it’s coming from taxpayers either way, whether through the city or county.

According to the project pro forma, the city would pay the county $353,029 in interest during the 20-year term of loan.

The proposed rate is 3.07 percent (market rate), whereas the county is currently only able to get 1 to 1.5 percent, said Ellsworth, noting Jordan will save about $60,000 in transaction costs it would otherwise pay for a bond.

“Three percent for 20 years is an attractive rate for us right now,” Ellsworth said.

Cities in Scott County own their libraries and pay for heating and cooling, while the county employs the librarians and purchases furniture and books.

The county is budgeting $ 300,000 to $ 500,000 toward

fixtures, furniture and possibly additional materials for the library. Staffi ng levels are expected to remain the same.

This would permanently shut the door on the library being located downtown. City Administrator Ed Shuckle said the city couldn’t fi nance such an operation, which would require demolishing and relocating a current facility.

Scott County Commissioner Joe Wag ner of Sand Creek Tow nship questioned CDA Executive Director Bill Jaffa whether Jordan can support more senior housing.

“You have the Schule Haus in Jordan and another assistedliving being built up by the elementary school,” said Wagner “It’s not that big of a population in Jordan.”

Jaffa responded that studies indicate a need for more independent living housing.

He noted that Schule Haus is a lower-income development that was federally financed, and the project by the school is an assisted-care facility.

“This is very similar to River City Centre [in Shakopee],” Jaffa said of the current proposal.

Although this project, which will require further detail and approval, seems to have come up quickly, the CDA and Jordan have had their eyes on the site for years.

In an interview, Jaffa said the city approached with CDA several years ago about codeveloping the site, with a city government campus that would have included a city hall and police station, but a Chaska development group got an option on the land and pitched a clinic from Ridgeview Medical Center in Waconia.

With the current proposal, there would still be land left available for future city facilities.

Tobacco shop owner charged with selling synthetic marijuana

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

A month after a new state law was enacted banning the sale of synthetic marijuana, an undercover Shakopee police officer purchased $100 worth of the stuff, according to a criminal complaint filed in Scott County District Court.

A manager of Tobacco Express in Shakopee, however, says the store owner was confused about the new law and “tricked” into selling the packages, which weren’t for sale.

In court documents, police officer Gary Kern reports that he went into Tobacco Express, 1148 Vierling Drive, on Aug. 1 and asked to purchase some “synthetic marijuana.”

Owner Ayman Mohd Shahin, 46, of Savage went to his back office, Kern wrote, and returned with several different fl avors of synthetic marijuana.

Kern purchased two 10-gram packages and then told Shahin

he was a law enforcement officer, according to court documents.

Sh a hi n, who h as b e en charged with a gross misdemeanor, admitted he knew it was illegal to sell synthetic marijuana, according to the criminal complaint.

Kahl Aloul, who is managing the store while Shahin is on vacation, said his friend was pressured into selling the packages, which were actually product samples.

Aloul said Shahin had received samples of a new product from the product manufacturer with a letter stating they didn’t contain the banned chemicals.

Shahin knew about the new state law and didn’t want to sell the product until he could verify that the manufacturer was correct, Aloul said.

The customer was a regular, Aloul said, and when Shahin told him he didn’t sell synthetic marijuana any more, the man insisted that Aug. 1 was the

last day it could be sold. Shahin was confused about whether aspects of the law started in July or August, Aloul said.

“When you are working at the counter, there’s many customers waiting on you,” Aloul said. “I think he gave in, which he shouldn’t have.”

Aloul said Tobacco Express had previously agreed to quit displaying synthetic marijuana when approached by police (prior to the state law) and had only been selling it from behind the counter.

Shakopee Police Chief Jeff Tate said he went into the store last winter and told the owner about a federal law that banned it (the federal law wouldn’t be enforced by local police, however). “He told me he was going to get rid of what he had,” Tate said.

Although the product was removed from the counter, it still was being sold.

4. Why do some kids go through treatment at an early age? Kids with specific orthodontic problems benefit from treatment at an early age (less than 10 years of age). Treating at a younger age allows the orthodontist to prevent or intercept more serious problems from occurring, and makes comprehensive treatment shorter, less complicated and easier on the child.

5. What if my child does not get the recommended early treatment? For most patients, orthodontics can be completed at a later age, but is more likely to involve extraction of permanent teeth to resolve crowding, and may require extractions or corrective jaw surgery to correct more serious bite problems.

Allure Introduces

Several readers have submitted questions regarding the optimal age for orthodontic treatment. The answer varies, depending on a number of factors. Below are answers to the Top 5 Questions Parent Ask About Orthodontic Treatment Timing.

1. At what age should my child be evaluated? The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all kids have a check-up with an orthodontic specialist by age 7.

2. Are there early warning signs that my child may need orthodontic treatment? Crowded or crooked teeth, problems with biting or chewing, speech difficulties or facial imbalance are signs that your child should be evaluated by an orthodontic specialist.

3. What’s the most common age to begin treatment?

Comprehensive orthodontics most often begins between the ages of 11 and 15. By this age most or all of the permanent teeth have erupted, and kids are growing rapidly. Orthodontists take advantage of this growth spurt for efficient correction of misaligned teeth and bite problems.

commentary EDITORIAL

Honor Herrgott, but not by naming new roadway The Shakopee community was devastated eight years ago with the news that one of its own, U.S. Army Pfc. Jim Herrgott, was killed by a sniper in the Iraq confl ict on July 3, 2003. Herrgott, 18, was the fi rst of scores of Minnesotans to lose his life in the Middle East conflict.

Now, eight years later, the Shakopee City Council has been asked to endorse a plan to name the new, extended segment of County Road 21 after the Shakopee soldier. If the city councils in Shakopee and Prior Lake approve the idea, it’s likely the Scott County Board would go along with it.

The Shakopee City Council recently delayed making a decision because it wanted to consider new information it received from the city of Prior Lake.

With all due respect to Herrgott, his family and friends, we oppose the idea.

Scores of soldiers from Shakopee and Scott County have lost their lives for their country in many wars — the two world wars, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq. To honor Herrgott by naming a roadway after him, we believe, unfairly sets apart his sacrifice from those of others.

The only criterion that sets him apart from other military casualties is that he was the fi rst member of the military from Minnesota to be killed in the Iraq conflict.

If local governments name a segment of a highway after Herrgott, it

JOIN THE CHAT WHAT DO YOU THINK? SHOULD THE NEW SEGMENT OF COUNTY ROAD 21 BE NAMED AFTER PFC. JIM HERRGOTT? LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK AT

www.shakopeenews.com

would beg the questions: What about the other soldiers who died defending their country? Were their deaths less important? What about the “first” to die in the other wars? Did they receive special honors?

We made this same kind of argument a few years ago when it was suggested that the Shakopee School Board name a new elementary school after Herrgott. The board declined.

On a marker at Veterans Memorial Park in Shakopee, 45 Shakopee soldiers are listed as war casualties. They all deserve the utmost honor and respect for making the ultimate sacrifice. If it were possible, all should have roads named after them. But it’s not, of course. Because of that, a single soldier should not be elevated above his peers.

As an alternative, may we suggest a small monument or marker in Herrgott’s memory, noting that it is dedicated to him, the fi rst Minnesota soldier killed in the conflict, and all others who followed?

GUEST COMMENTARY

Goal of SCALE is to bring jobs to county

BY RICHARD AMES

Is that commute getting you down? Do you dread that fi rst snowfall of the year, which stretches your drive home from 30 minutes to over an hour? Are you more familiar with your car’s dashboard than the furniture of your living room? Do you use the term “windshield time” in everyday conversation? And don’t you wish you could just pick up your place of work and move it just a few miles closer? If so, you’re not alone.

But by 2030, the Scott County Association for Leadership and Efficiency (SCALE) wants to see enough good, well-paying job opportunities attracted to and retained within Scott County to allow at least half of our residents the chance to work in our own community. Increasing the number of quality jobs located within the county that match the range of skills and talents of our resident work force will go a long way toward easing congestion on our highways and river crossings, making our local economies more sustainable, and improving our residents’ overall quality of life.

The framework for achieving this goal lies within a unified economic development, land use, and transportation charter adopted by SCALE in 2009.

The charter was created by SCALE’s Transportation and Economic Development Task Force.

Since 2009, the group has been exploring ways to create a positive economic development climate in Scott County. The intent is to retain and attract business employers so that SCALE’s workforce goal can be achieved.

As part of the plan, all undeveloped parcels in the county were inventoried to determine whether sufficient land exists to support businesses that could and would employ 50 percent of our community’s working residents.

Further, the group studied whether the available land is planned and zoned appropriately. While the land is there, members were surprised to

VALLEY (USPS 491-740)

fi nd that less than 500 acres possess the infrastructure necessary to accommodate a business that would want to break ground within the next six months.

Recognizing that this lack of infrastructure must be addressed, the task force identified a number of commercial and industrial areas most likely to attract development, and the sites’ proximity to major roadways were among the factors evaluated. These “top 10” areas have been analyzed to determine the level of infrastructure improvements needed to be more attractive to developers, and the costs of making the improvements are now being researched. SCALE is also working to identify and target enhancements that will result in the highest return on investment (in terms of both job creation and tax base).

SCALE’s work toward its goal has also brought together business development leaders in Scott County. They met earlier this year to develop and recommend strategies to be implemented over the next three to five years, including: I Enhancing the image and identity of Scott County.

I Capitalizing on and increasing educational opportunities for both secondary and post secondary education.

I Analyzing key areas in Scott County ripe for commercial/ industrial development.

Many came together, reached good decision

GOP inflexibility hurts Minnesota and U.S.

I am a resident of the Riverside Fields community and I commend the City Council and the mayor for adopting a resolution to open up the median on Penstemon Avenue.

A majority of the residents have issues with other vehicles driving into their driveways and also have safety concerns for their children playing outside their homes.

I have observed trucks and other vehicles taking U-turns on Penstemon Avenue, crossing over the median, and damaging the homeowner’s fence and the strip of grass by the boulevard.

Joint efforts of the traffic consultant, traffic safety committee, Steve Soltau (developer), and Bruce Loney, head of the city’s Public Works Department, resulted in listening to the property owners’ requests, coming up with effective strategies to open the median, eliminating traffic accidents, and overall making good business sense for our community.

Opening up the median will improve access from County Road 18 to Crossings Boulevard and eliminate traffic backup from Eagle Creek Boulevard onto Foothill Trail. Most of the traffic will be picked up on County Road 21 in the near future. It will also reduce traffic by our swimming pool area.

The bottom line is that the request was generated by majority of my neighbors within the Riverside Fields community and a joint effort promoted a win-win situation.

As a former Republican, I am outraged at the damage the current crop of Republicans has done.

At the state level, Republican inf lexibility caused a shutdown and has put our state credit rating in jeopardy. At the national level, because of the total inflexibility of the Republicans in dealing with the debt ceiling, our top credit rating is downgraded for the fi rst time in history. Due to the same inflexibility, the stock market is now crashing, costing middle-income America countless billions in equity losses, and we are possibly looking at a double-dip recession that will likely cause massive additional job losses.

President Obama put forward a plan to shave $4 trillion off the national debt, but it was refused by the current Republicans. Why? President Oba ma’s pla n had most ly cuts, but it was rejected because of revenue increases that closed loopholes for big business. The plan thus violated the current Republicans’ “no new taxes” ideology.

“No new taxes” sounds good, but what it really means is we will protect big business and the very wealthy, no matter what the consequences. Current Republicans have voted to gut Medicare, Social Security, local transportation, education and health care, but absolutely forbid closing loopholes that benefit big business or raising taxes on the very wealthy, who have had massive tax cuts in recent years.

Who is ultimately responsible for these officials? Who put them in office to let them do this dam-

Thanks to many for parade military display Thank you to the Shakopee American Legion Color Guard — Marty Novotny, Kenny Grunst, Dave Kehlr and Maynard Bratland — leading the Derby Days parade on Aug. 7.

Thanks also to Norm Shutrop, Michael Murray, Breena Bieber and Jen Zeman, who wrote the military float in the parade.

Thanks you to all the spectators who showed respect for the soldiers and veterans by standing up, removing their hats and putting their hands over their hearts.

Please pray for all the troops. God bless America.

Challengers needed to face local legislators We need challengers to run for state offices due to a lack of leadership in St. Paul. I believe more people should challenge state Sen. Claire Robling and Reps. Mike Beard and Mark Busegens in their GOP primaries and general election next year.

I believe this is an opportunity to show these elected officials they failed the people they have served.

It is time to elect fresh new leadership that will not make the mistakes they did.

Doing away with labels There weren’t a lot of summer job opportunities for a 12-year-old boy in Belle Plaine in 1971. You could deliver newspapers, mow the neighbor’s grass, or bail hay when the farmers called. Few people were willing to give a kid a chance to prove himself — you had to know someone. Apparently, I didn’t know enough people.

But I knew Jim and Jim knew his parents and his parents knew someone who needed their fence painted. The job was too big and boring for just one, so Jim asked if I would help him. It was the perfect summer job for me. It was only a couple blocks from my house, it was outside, little skill was needed, and I got to spend time with a friend.

From one side the outside surface of a board could be painted, along with the inside surface of the other side. Sometimes Jim and I would paint on the same side of the

fence, other times on the opposite side.

We talked and we worked.

We talked about girls, sports, teachers, and planned adventures.

Sometimes we spilled paint, missed a spot, and went too fast or too slow.

But by working together we were able to get the job done without a lot of flip-flopping or excessive

name-calling when things didn’t go right. And we were just kids.

Kids call each other names, adults label one another, and the meaning is the same. The intent is to damage the other person or group. When an unflattering label or name is attached to a person or a group it hurts the target and also reflects poorly on the person applying the label.

If an argument or position is so weak that name-calling must be resorted to, then silence may be a better option. Now that Michelle Bachman has found herself in first place after the Iowa straw poll I’m waiting to see if her opposition will be called chauvinists or misogynists. After all, some state that those who oppose President Obama’s policies are doing so only because he is black. They must be racists; there can be no other

HEARD AROUND TOWN There’s a lot happening in Shakopee … and although every bit of news may be not front-page worthy, it’s definitely worth repeating.

I Members of the St. Francis Regional Medical Center Senior Team and the Saints H e a lt h c a r e Fo u n d at i o n awarded Troop 469 Bloomington Scout Jason Miller a certificate thanking him for helping the St. Francis Wellness Committee and Garden Advisory Group to make 36 garden plots for the St. Francis Garden Club. Miller is the son of Pam Miller of the St. Francis Staffing Department. The efforts and contributions will go towards Miller’s requirements to earn his Eagle Scout Award.

I A group of young people with the Jett Foundation, a national nonprofit committed to fi nding a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, are biking half way across the country.

“What these kids are doing is amazing and inspirational.

They are true leaders at such a young age,” said Shakopee resident Jennifer Shumsky,

whose 9-year-old son was diagnosed with Duchenne at age 4. “These JettRiders are literally spreading the word about Duchenne across the country and giving hope for my son Xavier and thousands of boys like him who are affected by this devastating disorder.”

Shumsky helped coordinate local efforts for the starting line and connected with area families whose children have Duchenne.

The JettRiders cyclists, who started July 6 from the Mall of America, will travel to New Jersey in an effort to raise money and awareness for Duchenne. The group will be biking for 4 weeks, traveling through seven states and logging 1,500 miles.

I Members of Job’s Daughters Bethel 85 of Shakopee presented a grant to Caden Winters of Victoria Aug. 14 from the Hearing Impaired

Kids Endowment Fund, Inc. (HIKE), the philanthropy of Job’s Daughter’s International. The HIKE Fund provides grants for hearing aids, closed caption converters for television, tactile units, FM units for hearing amplification, TDDs and other assistive-listening devices for deserving hearing impaired children from birth to 20 years of age. Funds are raised by Job’s Daughters Bethels through walk-a-thons, dinners and may other fund raising activities.

Job’s Daughters is a youth service organization for young women ages 10-20 who have Masonic heritage in their families.

As part of their activities in JDI the young ladies raise funds to benefit hearing impaired children. The girls from the Shakopee area group raised funds as part of a scrapbooking event they hold twice a year in Chaska.

If you go…

When Shakopee High School was built in 2007, the new, expansive auditorium received many “oohs” and “aahs” from community members.

However, it’s been the behind-the-scenes facilities, like the scene shop and black box, which auditorium users have really appreciated.

The Shakopee Black Box is moving from its supporting role to front and center next weekend when professional actor and director Dmitri Gerasimenko presents two one-act comedies by the famous Russian playwright Anton Chekov.

Dances on High Theatre will perform “Proposal” at 7 p.m. Aug. 26-27, the first theater production for the high school’s Black Box. “I love black box space.

It doesn’t take much work to put the production there,” said Gerasimenko, Dances on High artistic director and a Shakopee resident.

Since its construction four years ago, the Black Box has been used primarily for rehearsal and dance space, said Shakopee High School Drama Director Thom Amundsen. This year, tech crew adviser Eric Christensen hung lights in the box to make it a suitable venue for music and theater events.

“That’s really something we wanted to use this space

What: Dances on High Theatre presents Fran Bohlke, Natalya Taylor, Thom Amundsen, Duane Koivisto, Vadim Lyadov and Dmitri Gerasimenko in two one-act comedy plays by Anton Chekhov, “Bear” and “Proposal.”

When: 7 p.m. Aug. 26-27 Where: Shakopee High School black box, 100 17th Ave. W., Shakopee Admission: $12 adults, $8 seniors/students; seating is limited.

Tickets available: (612) 239-8952, ddgerasimenko@gmail. com

for,” Amundsen said.

With the help of River Valley Theatre Company and Shakopee Community Education, Gerasimenko was able to rent the space without the expense of a downtown Minneapolis venue.

In addition, the small space creates a more intimate audience experience, Gerasimenko said. Seating is limited in the black box — between 50 and 70 chairs will be set up each night — and really requires the audience to engage in the production.

Gerasimenko, who studied at the St. Petersburg (Russia) Theater Academy, has worked

mainly with Russian actors since moving to Minnesota a dozen years ago. In addition to musicals and dramas in the Russian language, Gerasimenko performs one-man-shows of Russian music, stories and poetry and teaches master acting classes.

In 2005, he established Dances on High Theatre, which has produced Russianlanguage productions through the Russian Educational Center in Savage, the Choral Theatre of Minnesota and the Museum of Russian Art. “Bear” and “Proposal” will be in English and feature several local actors, including Amundsen and Jordan High School teacher Fran Bohlke.

Performers also include Natalya Taylor, Duane Koivisto, Vadim Lyadov and Gerasimenko.

The low-budget productions are aimed at minimizing the distractions of set and costumes to focus on the art of acting.

“I want to just get to the roots and show the actor, the actor and the good material,” Gerasimenko said.

Gerasimenko hopes to bring more professional theater to Shakopee in the future. Not only is it more convenient for him, he believes Shakopee is ready and supportive of it.

The performances are supported by River Valley Theatre Company, a local community theater group based in Shakopee.

behind-the-scenes duties of putting on a five-hour radio show. He runs the sound board, plays all the songs and commercials, turns on the microphones and ensures everything is running on schedule. Laeger also screens 99 percent of the calls coming into the station.

“Basically, the short answer for my job is I do everything for [hosts] Moon and Staci, so all they have to do is talk and entertain,” said Laeger, who makes a brief appearance around 6 p.m. every day to play Buzzword with Staci Matthews.

One of the coolest parts of his job is meeting celebrities, said Laeger, who coordinates musician interviews. He’s met famous stars such as Hulk Hogan, Harry Connick Jr. and Chris Daughtry.

The 94.5 FM radio show runs from 2 to 7 p.m. weekdays, but Laeger doesn’t arrive at the studio until an hour before since the trio does most of its planning via e-mail. While it’s nice to sleep in, Laeger said he always pictured himself with a 9-5 job, especially after working odd hours at restaurants throughout high school and college.

Laeger, who moved from Shakopee to Maplewood last fall, also works part-time as

“Have you seen him? Spitting human image of the Muppet! Tall, slim, fear in his eyes and a shock of red spiked hair on top!”

Staci Matthews director of technology and media at Meadow Spring Community Church in Shakopee. Laeger’s father, John, is pastor of the church.

When Laeger tells people what he does for a living, he typically gets two questions: Which famous people have you met and are the callers and e-mailers on the show real?

Believe it or not, they are.

“They’re all real,” he said. “People have pretty outrageous stories.”

Laeger jokes that part of his job is keeping Moon on task; he described the host as a little scatterbrained but very experienced. With Matthews, his job is just to tell her she’s pretty, he said.

“He is a great producer — part computer nerd, part music lover, part pop culture junkie — the perfect combination,” said Matthews.

“And he has the ability to do about five things at once flawlessly.”

Listeners might imagine the trio sitting in a large, highrise studio overlooking the city, but their St. Paul studio isn’t nearly as glamorous, Laeger said. In fact, it’s a 10-by-10-foot room full of microphones, soundboard and other technical equipment.

Still, Laeger — who “runs on a steady fuel of Mountain Dew and Haribo Gummy Bears,” Matthews said — loves his live-radio gig, saying it’s never the same from hour to hour or day to day.

So how did he get his nickname?

“I evidently look like Beaker from The Muppets,” he said.

Moon and Staci originally wanted to call him “iPat” because of his interest in all things technology, but midday radio host Dez started calling him Beaker after the hapless lab assistant from “The Muppet Show,” whose shocking orange hair sticks straight out.

“Have you seen him?

Spitting human image of the Muppet!” Matthews said.

“Tall, slim, fear in his eyes and a shock of red spiked hair on top!”

The radio station posted his photo online and listeners voted overwhelmingly in favor of the name. He’s been Beaker ever since.

“I’m a celebrity to some people, and I’m nobody to most people,” he said.

Over the last year, SCALE also has been very successful in helping to champion major roadway improvement projects, which will ease congestion while improving access to Scott County. We anticipate that the completion of the Interstate Highway 494/Highway 169 interchange project in 2013, combined with the improved Highway 13/101 interchange in Savage, will result in renewed interest from business prospects looking for sites in the county.

The chemical compounds are typically 100 to 800 times more powerful than THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.

There are more than 100 different forms of synthetic marijuana that have been created to date.

K2 and Spice are two of the most common forms, and they are sold in gas stations, tobacco shops, head shops and online (although now illegal in Minnesota). They are marketed as incense.

house Street, is the only woman running for city office. She is on the Shakopee Community Emergency Response Team and was president of the former Shakopee Downtown Partnership.

“As a resident of Shako pee and a downtown business owner, I have a vested interest in the betterment of our community,” said Zellmer, a nearly 10 -year resident. “We are a growing and expanding community and we need to foster that growth and change to the best of our abilities. I am a fi rm believer that if you want to see change, you need to take action to make it happen.”

Luce, 55, is a lifelong city resident who works in building maintenance. He fi nished fifth out of eight candidates in 2009.

Luce, who lives on Atwood Street, said he’s running again because “the city needs to be a little more fi scally conservative. I think the top five people in city government are overpaid.”

Not much is known about Brown, other than that he lives on Horizon Drive near the Savage border. He didn’t return a call from the Valley News before press time.

T h e si x p r e v iou s ly a n nounced candidates for councilor (a four-year term): Incumbent Matt Lehman, 45, who has an auto repair shop, has been on the council since 2002. He’s seeking office again because he believes in working “in the trenches” for residents.

Incumbent Pat Heitzman, 52, a pest-control specialist, is fi nishing his fi rst term on the City Council. “I’m running because of the challenges

Mark Reimler, 51, is a local real estate agent and member of the city’s transit commission. He’s making his fi rst bid for city office because he believes it’s important for others to step up so the same people don’t have to continuously serve.

Premm Badhwa, 45, a measurement technician in the oil industry, also sits on Shakopee’s transit commission.

He is looking to become an even greater part of the community.

Suresh Nair, 42, a software engineer, recent ly became a U.S. citizen and wants to become more involved in Shakopee.

Jay Whiting, 46, is president of the Shakopee Heritage Society and vice president of Shakopee Derby Days. He was a top fi nisher for City Council in 2009. “It’s time for a city councilor who will listen to the citizens and not just listen for his own voice to be heard,” says Whiting.

MAYORAL RACE

Incumbent John Schmitt, 73, is a retired corporate finance director with a long history of civic involvement in Shakopee. He says he’s got work left to finish, such as transportation-related topics and representation issues with the Metropolitan Council. “I’d like

Shakopee should embrace this role, not run from it,” said Tabke.

Bauer Gustafson, 35, works for Libbey Food Service and has lived in Shakopee since 2003.

She hopes to bring a new face to the board. She also has concerns about building a second high school and was upset with some board members’ comments about moving graduation.

“Shakopee is a fantastic place to live and raise your family, and I just want to keep the tradition going and spark some new life to a growing school district,” she said.

Bauer Gustafson has two children, ages 5 and 2. Her husband Jay teaches physical education at Eagle Creek Elementary. She ran for the board six years ago.

The library staff keeps track of everything; all the numbers have to be reported to the state.

June 25, 1986 – Survey says many are willing to pay food tax. A recent survey of American consumers indicates they are not only aware of the financial plight of many of the nation’s farmers but are willing to give them a helping hand through a one-year, 1 percent national sales tax on groceries.

100 years ago…

From the Shakopee ArgusTribune, 1911 Oct. 27, 1911 –About 2,000 people were out early last Tuesday to see and hear President Taft. It was eminently a nonpartisan gathering of people who assembled to pay their respect to the Chief Executive of the nation, and while there was no show of enthusiasm, the crowd was hospitable and gave him a most respectful and attentive audience. The

President talked for about 15 minutes. His remarks were chief ly addressed to the 500 children present and to many of the farmers who had come to hear him.

On a little hill near the Midway, the Scott County Fair will permanently host a ferris wheel, a project started by developer and contractor Dick Ames of Jordan. The wheel’s base is anchored, a garden planted around it, and a sign is posted, but the wheel isn’t up nor running yet. The sign says: “Created by William E. Sullivan in 1900, the Big Eli No. 12 was the first portable Wheel.

It was revolutionary to riding device owners because it was quick to set up, easy to operate, and economical to maintain. Ames Construction, Inc. donated this Big Eli No. 12 Wheel to the Scott County Fair in 2011. Ames Construction refurbished the Wheel and moved it from Massachusetts to Minnesota.” The 2011 fair board and their titles are listed.

Minnesota Golden Gophers Coach Jerry Kill shares a laugh with some of a delegation from Jordan. Kill spoke during an opening day thank-you breakfast for supporters of the Scott County Fair.

Last year at the Scott County Fair, Nicholas Peterson of Jordan dressed as a dragon and shouted out phrases. “People that came by said it was a really good idea,” Peterson said. So this year, he dressed up as a walking taco, and traveled around the fair being heckled and doing some heckling of his own, all to advertise for the Hope Lutheran Church food booth.

Peterson was spotted here on Friday, July 29, with all the fixings.

Arianna Natole of Burnsville didn’t want to dismount her pony on Thursday, July 28, at the Scott County Fair. “You’ve got to tell your dad, ‘I want a pony,’” Natole’s aunt Jennifer told her.

Among the blue ribbon-winners in the crafts building at the Scott County Fair were photos of a skunk attack. The poor dog who got attacked helped Emily Tucker win the children’s photographic story all-ages category.

Cats were allowed in the 4-H pet show on Saturday, July 30, at the Scott County Fair, but only one could be seen early on in the show.

Simon Iverson, 8, of Jessenland Township, trained his outdoor barn cat Moder to be led by a leash.

SENTENCE

Maddox was to blame when her sister was reported missing Nov. 11.

W hen she heard of Ruth Anne’s death, Whitaker said, her world came to a “screeching halt” before she started calling relatives to share the news.

“To this day, I can remember the individual noises of anguish each one made,” Whitaker read. “I am haunted by these sounds and my heart is forever broken.”

A representative from the county attorney’s office also read a letter from Ruth Anne’s childhood friend, Colleen Hatami of Indiana, who was not present. She called Tony an arrogant, charismatic man who has shown no remorse or sadness over his wife’s death.

“The only thing Tony is sorry for is he got convicted of a crime he undoubtedly committed,” Hatami wrote.

Ruth Anne’s mother shared similar sentiments. “His only remorse is for poor Tony because he got caught,” Lipka said.

Hatami wrote that Maddox had swept Ruth Anne off her feet at a class reunion and within three months she sold her house and moved to Minnesota with him.

As Ruth Anne’s money depleted so did Maddox’s charm, Hatami said. She said Maddox had defrauded other women in the past and taken advantage of his loving family. She feared he may do the same if released on a lighter sentence.

Whitaker spoke of the “web of deceit” Maddox had created through gambling, porn, tax evasion, cheating and ruining Ruth Anne financially. Yet, that

wasn’t enough, Whitaker said.

“You purposely and angrily took a precious life — the life of someone I love very much … ” Whitaker said. “All I can hope for is you live a very long life — all of it behind bars.”

Abrams noted he had received several letters of support for Maddox; he denied, however, allowing three family and friends in the courtroom to speak for Maddox.

Defense attorney Bruno told Abrams a minimum sentence of 21 years, nine months would still be three times the sentence of manslaughter, which some may see the case as. The act was an “extreme aberration, not characteristic of who Mr. Maddox was,” Bruno said.

Maddox also spoke, apologizing to the court, his family and Ruth Anne’s family. He said if he had remained the husband to Ruth Anne he should have been, making reference to marriage vows, they would have never come to divorce.

He said he panicked the night of her death and should have called the police right away. He also thanked his family for its love and support, saying it “changed me as a person and as a man.”

Walking into the courtroom Wednesday, Whitaker said she still had feelings of sickness despite a nearly three-year legal battle. While the sentencing is over, she’s learned the ordeal will never really get easier.

“My sister is such a good person and what Tony did was so heinous,” W hitaker said. “There’s no punishment that would be enough because it’s never going to bring her back.”

couple was in the middle of a divorce at the time of her death.

T he sentenc e i s seven months shy of the maximum allowed under state sentencing guidelines.

The county attorney’s office had asked for an upward departure from the guidelines — of up to 40 years — because of the cruelty of the crime, particularly putting Ruth Anne’s body in a garbage can, and because the defendant showed no remorse, Scott County Attorney Pat Ciliberto said Wednesday.

Abrams denied the request, saying that while the murder was brutal, violent and reprehensible, he found no basis for an increased sentence.

Abrams also said he did not see any reason to go along with the defense’s request of 21 years, nine months — the lowest allowed by sentencing guidelines. He said Maddox’s actions following the crime indicated Maddox was attempting to escape the consequences and if not for some diligent police work, “this might have been a crime that would never have been prosecuted.”

Ruth Anne’s sister, Karen Whitaker, thanked the community, police, county attorney’s office, jury and judge for their support.

“We are happy that the judge realized the severity of the crime and saw through Tony today,” Whitaker said.

Whitaker and her mother, Lois Lipka, spoke prior to the sentencing. Addressing Maddox, Whitaker said she knew

Keep your home pet-friendly and fresh

Of

course you love your pets, but let’s face it: Whether you’re hosting guests or trying to sell your home, the last thing you want visitors to remember is an odor. Luckily, there are a number of ways to eliminate odors and let your home’s personality shine.

Refreshing walls Paint is one of the most dramatic and cost-effective ways to give your home’s interior a new look, and now it can also give your home a new fresh scent. For example, Dutch Boy’s Refresh paint features odor-eliminating technology from Arm & Hammer. It reduces odors caused by pets and other sources, keeping your home smelling as good as it looks.

Clean with steam Even if your pet isn’t allowed on the furniture, your home furnishing fabrics are holding onto unpleasant scents.

Though you may vacuum regularly, animal hair and dander are trapped in the fibers of your cushions, curtains, sofa and other decor. Using a steam cleaner

is the best way to eliminate bad smells in upholstered furniture and other items that cannot be laundered. Hire a professional service to treat the common areas in your home, or purchase a steam cleaner specifically designed for pet hair removal.

Deep-clean common area fabrics several times each year, and to help maintain a fresh smell day to day, use an odorneutralizing fabric spray regularly.

Hit the floor The biggest source of your home’s potentially objectionable smell could be right under your feet. As anyone who has house-trained a pet knows, they don’t always get it right, and sometimes those accidents go unnoticed and cause stains to inevitably set in. To remove odors of any age, scrub bare floors with white vinegar and water or an odor-neutralizing cleaner, and thoroughly wash carpets and rugs using an odor-neutralizing shampoo.

You can also hire a professional to clean the carpets and provide extra deodorizing treatments. If stains or smells remain, you’ll likely need to replace the carpet

and padding. If this is the case, be sure to scrub the floor beneath before laying new carpet down. After the carpet has been thoroughly cleaned or replaced, regularly use carpet deodorizer formulated for pet odors when vacuuming.

Scented accessories Tie a ribbon on your odor-free home with strategically placed candles and air fresheners. Choose classic scents that complement your decor, and use a variety throughout the home to avoid an overpowering result. Many candles and fresheners offer odor-neutralizing technology as well as pleasant scents, ensuring unfavorable smells are not only covered up but eliminated. Jars of potpourri or scented crystals add touches of personality to any room decor as well.

No matter what types or the number of pets that share your home, these tips will help keep it smelling fresh all year round.

SHAKOPEE GIRLS TENNIS

One goal for tennis team Sabers return eight players

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

Shakopee girls tennis coach Susan Allen could not wait to announce her team’s goals when asked.

“Conference champ,” was her quick response.

Allen and the rest of the Sabers’ girls tennis team will have to get by a very strong Red Wing team to reach that goal but Allen thinks they can do it.

“We have a ton of talent back,” Allen said.

With at least eight players returning from last year’s team that fi nish second to Red Wing, the Sabers are poised to challenge for their first Missota Conference title in years.

The Sabers return their top four singles players and two of their three doubles teams from last year.

Even though those players are returning, Allen anticipates some new positions for some players.

“Our top players have grown both as single players and double players,” she said. “So I feel confident with their skill-set in a lot of different positions.”

The singles players returning are eighth-grader Haley Lickfold, Vonnick and Dannick Boyogueno, and Taylor Koenig.

Lickfold will most likely play No. 1 singles after playing there most of last season as a seventh grader. She was selected to the All-Conference team last year.

The Boyogueno sisters, Vonnick and Dannick, played singles last year but teamed up in the sections to play doubles and looked really good together.

Vonnick Boyogueno may team up with her sister, Dannick, in doubles this fall.

Throughout the season, they could get paired together again if it helps the team get to four points.

“Last year, my lineup was pretty consistent,” Allen said. “ T hi s yea r, it wi l l switch around. Ultimately, you get one point for every position. A point’s a point, doesn’t matter where you get it from.”

The Sabers also return the senior doubles teams of Kristina Worm and Sam Root as well as Anna Hauser and JoJo Lindstrom.

That leaves two open spots for the varsity squad.

“There are two open spots and I would like to see somebody step up and grab ’em,” Allen

Eighth-grader Haley Lickfold reaches for a ball during practice on Tuesday. Lickfold was named all-conference last season.

“There are two open spots and I would like to see somebody step up and grab ’em. I have a lot of options.”

Susan Allen Shakopee girls tennis coach said. “I have a lot of options.”

With the talent returning, Allen set out to fi nd the best competition she could.

That means the Sabers 2011 schedule is much tougher than usual.

Shakopee will play the top-

ranked teams in the state like Mi n neton ka, Wayzat a a nd Eden Prairie.

“We have a tough schedule,” she said. “I want our program to grow and to find out how good the best is and put our selves right in there.”

SHAKOPEE INDIANS

Three-peat denied Savage stops Indians’ quest for third title

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

back to beat Blaine 5-1, only to get eliminated by Savage 3-2.

There will be no three-peat.

The Shakopee Indians’ bid to become the fi rst state amateur baseball team to win three consecutive state titles since Albert Lea won four in a row from 1945-48 was denied.

Under the new Minnesota Baseball Association Class B format, the 16 Class B teams to advance out of their section played in four Super Regionals with two teams from each Super Regional qualifying for the state tournament.

Shakopee was seeded 13th out of the 16 teams and got placed in the Cold Spring Regional along with Sauk Rapids, Savage and Blaine.

Many considered that regional the toughest of the four because Sauk Rapids was the top-ranked team all year long, Savage came in with only two losses, Blaine was ranked in the top 10 and Shakopee was the two-time defending state champions.

“It wasn’t the best draw, getting into that super section,” Shakopee manager Brannon Weigel said. “But we felt like we were still the team to beat even though we got a poor seed.”

Shakopee lost its fi rst game 9-3 to Sauk Rapids but bounced

The Indians were 90 feet away from beating Savage and advancing to the state tournament.

Shakopee trailed Savage 3-1 going into the ninth inning but cut the lead to 3-2 and loaded the bases with two outs and were waiting for the big hit.

That big hit never came as Savage got the third and fi nal out to beat Shakopee and the Indians’ season. Shakopee had ended Savage’s season the last two years in the semifi nals of the state tournament.

“The Savage game was frustrating, I guess would be the best way to put it,” Weigel said.

Savage lost to Sauk Rapids in the regional title game but still qualified for the state tournament.

The regional got off to a bad start for Shakopee when it let a 3-0 lead to Sauk Rapids slip away for a 9-3 loss.

The Indians touched Sauk Rapids early for three runs and were cruising behind starting pitcher Chris Rupert.

With the score 3-0, Rupert entered the sixth inning on a roll having given up only one hit in five innings.

That roll stopped as Rupert

90 FEET AWAY

walked three Sauk Rapids batters to load the bases. A big two-run double followed and the score was 3-2. Four more runs after that and Shakopee trailed 6-3.

Shakopee could not regain the momentum and lost 9-3.

“We played a near flawless game for 8 of the 9 innings against Sauk Rapids,” Weigel said. “One gigantic ugly inning did us in.”

That sent them into an elimination game with Blaine.

Dane Secott pitched a complete game for the Indians.

Shakopee kept its season alive with a 5-1 win that sent it into the game against Savage.

The Indians fi nish the 2011 season with a 22-21 record.

“Disappointing end to the season and way shorter than we intended,” Weigel said. “ Wit h or w it hout a tou g h super section draw, we had a target on our back and teams put together their best games against us. We have about two weeks left until a new champion is crowned. Next year, everyone will be chasing down someone else. But people will remember the back-to-back championships we won for a long time. We’re proud of what we accomplished the last two years. Next year we’ll set out to make it three in four years.”

Green Mamba Jet Car makes appearance at Raceway When Doug Rose and the Green Mamba Jet Car make their annual pilgrimage to Raceway Park the fan faithful gather with visions of fabulous flames, molten metal and toasted marshmallows in their heads.

Doug delivered as usual setting the night on fi re by vaporizing a vehicle and warming up the fans in the front straight grandstands as he cruised by.

Other dazzling performances were turned in by the Purcell Posse and Steve Motley.

Jack Purcell and his older brother Alec had big fun in the “little cars” Friday night as they fi nished fi rst and third in the Mini Stock feature after top five fi nishes in the preliminary events.

Alec went on to win the Front Wheel Flyer heat and feature. Steve Motley, like Mark Bronstad in previous weeks, always seems to do well in the Friday Night Destruction events. This time Steve won the F lag Pole feature and the fi rst Figure 8 feature and fi nished fourth in Thunder V-8’s 30-lap main. Other evening feature winners included Dustin Mann and Steve Cheever.

A little lunacy prevailed on Sunday night when the NASCAR Event divisions experienced more mayhem than usual. Brent Kane, the 2010 RWP Ventaire Hobby Stocks Champion had an exciting night. After he won his heat and was heading to the pits, a ball joint broke sending him careening off the track and into the dirt barrier between the first and second turn.

Brent emerged unscathed and after his ace pit crew got busy fi xing things he returned for the Hobby Stock feature and sailed on to victory from his outside front row starting position. The feature win was the 50th of his illustrious racing career.

In Turtle’s Bar and Grill Figure 8 action Mark Bronstad continued his hot streak by winning one of the two Figure 8 races. Going back to July 31 Mark has fi nished fi rst or second in Friday Night nonpoints events or Sunday night NASCAR events nine times.

Ricky Martin, the 2009/2010 RWP Figure 8 Track champion and another guy that puts together winning streaks, won the other feature.

Moon g low or no Shor t Tracker racer Rylee Michaelson seemed destined to get her fi rst feature win of the year and she might have done it if the race had gone green all the way. She led from the pole for 14 laps until a yellow but in her case not so mellow flag bunched the field. On the restart Doug Schmitz got around her and went on to score his 4th feature win of the year.

Rylee finished fi fth just behind Schmitz, Jason Heitz, Jack Purcell and Todd Tacheny.

Another racer who got to bask in the moon’s glow was Coca Cola Short Tracker Robert Backe. After his new motor blew up at practice on Thursday night it looked like his chances to race on Sunday ranged from slim to grim.

Robert, a never say die kind of guy, defied that fate by hastening home and after working around the clock returned to Raceway Park to win the 15-lap feature, his fi rst of the season.

Adam Royle put an end to Chad Walen’s two-week winning streak in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Super Late Model division by blasting away from his front

row starting position to his division leading seventh win of the 2011 season. Walen and his crew were looking for the yellow flag like the one Michaelson didn’t want in the Mini Stock main but on this night fortune favored Royle in a green flag all the way fashion.

Walen fi nished second which means that the pair will go into season’s final three events with only one point separating the two.

Other Sunday night feature winners included James Wenzel (his fourth of the year) in the Prestige Plumbing Bandoleros division and Bryan Keske in the Great Northern Legends/Cheerios Legends.

Racing resumes at 6 p.m.

Sunday Night when the ASA Midwest Tour Traveling Stars make their annual visit to the famed ¼ mile asphalt oval in Shakopee.

A 26 car field is expected to take the green flag for the Shakopee 125. Time trials are at 4 p.m. with racing at 6 p.m.

The Wild and Crazy Figure 8’s and the Hobby Stocks will be on the program also.

The MSHSL Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve a playoff format for new Class 6A football. The new division will begin play in 2012.

The 32 Class 6A teams will be split into four sections, with eight teams in each section.

For the fi rst round of playoffs, each section will seed its teams 1 through 8. After the fi rst round of games has been played, the four winning teams from each section will be matched with the top four from a different section by random draw; higher seeds will play lower seeds, with higher seeds being the home team. Those section-to-section

pairings will rotate every two years.

After two rounds of games, eight teams will advance to the state quarterfinals and be seeded under the current format, with coaches voting to seed the top four teams and a blind draw deciding their opponents from the remaining four.

The 6A state quarterfi nals will be played under the same timetable as quarterfi nals in other classes. The 6A state semi f i na ls wi l l be played at t he Met r o dome on t he Thursday evening prior to the traditional Friday-Saturday semifi nals. The 6A championship game will be played on Friday night of Prep Bowl weekend.

Shakopee will be in Class 6A, Section 6 along with Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, Minneapolis South, Minnetonka, Robbinsdale Armstrong, and Wayzata.

‘ON GOLDEN POND’ “On Golden Pond” is a celebration of everyday life, love and family. The play centers around lovable curmudgeon, Norman Thayer, Jr., and his spirited wife, Ethel, who make their 48th annual trip to their summer home on Golden Pond in Maine. They are soon visited by their middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé, who, en route to a European vacation, leave behind his teenage son for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the “grandchild” the elderly couple has longed for, and as Norman revels in taking his ward fishing and thrusting good books at him, he also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness – and slang – in return.

Increased property tax imposed on other properties as a result of fiscal disparities contribution *

* The fiscal disparity property tax law provides that the growth in commercial-indusrial property tax values is shared throughout the area. In a tax increment financing district, this value sharing can either result in a tax increase for other properties in the municipality or result in a decrease in tax increment financing district revenue depending on how the tax increment financing district is established.

Tax Increment Financing Districts #10, #12, and #13 located in the City of Shakopee do share their growth in commercial-industrial property tax values. This results in no increase in property taxes for other properties located in the City of Shakopee Additional information regarding each district may be obtained from- Julie Linnihan, Finance Director 129 Holmes Street South Shakopee, MN 55379 952-233-9326 (Published in the Shakopee Valley News on Thursday, August 18, 2011; No. 5092) NOTICE OF MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE SALE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that default has occurred in the conditions of that certain Mortgage, dated February 16, 2004, executed by Horace D.

Gordy

Ella

The vet thinks I’m about 8 or 9 years old. I’ve been a loyal, easygoing dog for all this time and the past owners didn’t care to get me from impound.

I’m bummed. My foster family says I’m quiet, affectionate, passive with other animals and fi ne with kids. I’m a male Gordon setter-mix who weigh 55 pounds. I enjoy petting, tummy rubs, going along in the car or for walks and getting brushed. I nap in my crate and am house-trained.

You’ll hear me chatter while watching birds at the window. After a couple minutes sizing up a stranger, I’ll rub against their leg. I jump onto and stay on a lady’s lap for quite a long time. If you’re a guy, I won’t stay as long for some reason. I door-greet, follow you, and leg-rub. I enjoy petting and having my head scratched.

If you have wand toys we will have a good time together. I’m OK being held and you’ll enjoy my soothing purr.
