Shakopee first suburb to get bar on wheels

Preliminary levy OK’d as sparks y

ifteen years ago, two Dutch brothers — a truck driver and welder — sketched the design for a pub on wheels on a bar napkin. The bar owner saw their drawing and asked the men to fashion a real one as a float in an upcoming parade.

The “Fietscafe� was soon born and Henk and Zwier van Laar began manufacturing and renting out bike cafes in the Netherlands.

Scott County Commissioner Dave Menden was outnumbered Tuesday as he opined that residents would rather forego road work than pay more property taxes and suggested Scott County had painted a “rosy� picture of the forthcoming fallout from the state. “I’m kind of upset. We didn’t save for a rainy day. I got the picture from talking to you people that we had nothing to worry about,� said Menden of Shakopee, who is in his fi rst year as county commissioner. “We approved these road projects so fast and then got the hammer put

Interchange plans to be revealed Thursday

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

The design for an overpass that could spur development on Shakopee’s west side and also save lives is becoming clearer.

A project team recommends Scott County build an interchange at County Road 69 and Highway 169 that has long entrance and exit ramps on the north side and a looped ramp on the southeast corner.

Transportation planner Craig Jenson said this option — out of several considered — best handles the most

2011 MCA TEST RESULTS

Room for improvement here

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

If the Shakopee School District could point to one grade it would like to serve better, it wouldn’t take Teaching and Learning Director Jayne Gibson long to identify it: eighth-grade.

The percentage of Shakopee eighthgraders meeting state proficiency standards in 2011 fell below the state average in both reading and math, according to Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment data released by the Minnesota Department of Education Wednesday. “It is a puzzle, and it’s not been just one year, it’s been over the course of the last three years,� Gibson said. “We’re starting to see a trend here.�

Shakopee Junior High staff are

particularly scratching their heads over their eighth-graders’ reading performance. Only 53 percent of eighth-graders met or exceeded the standards — 20 percentage points below the district’s next lowest grade level. “Our teachers feel like they’ve just invested so much of themselves in how to be better reading teachers across all content areas,� Gibson said.

However, what the school is doing now isn’t working for the students, she said. “We need to take a look at that and have some conversations to better drill down why it’s not working.�

Statewide, students showed slight improvements in reading proficiency in the 2011 MCA-II exam, taken last spring.

The percentage of Shakopee stu-

dents proficient in reading increased in all but two grade levels. Reading continues to be the district’s strongest area, topping state averages in grades three through seven, Gibson said.

Reading comprehension was the district’s strongest sub strand. At the elementary level, vocabulary seemed to be the weakest link, while students struggled with literature in the higher grades.

SHAKOPEE SCHOOL BOARD

Board will likely add an administrator

Refinancing may save district $3.5 million

The Shakopee School Board has long prided itself on putting dollars into the classroom, not administration.

But the time has come, board members say, to expand its administrative team.

The School Board is discussing the addition of a second director of teaching and learning to split the department’s duties.

Superintendent Rod Thompson proposed a new organizational chart Monday that would create a secondary-level director of teaching and learning and slide current director, Jayne Gibson, into a more-elementary focus.

The new secondary director would be in charge of curriculum, instruction and principal evaluation for the Shakopee High School, two junior highs and sixth-grade center. The director would also oversee assessments/data, as well as the activities and technology departments.

Gibson, as the elementary director, would continue to oversee the five elementary buildings and all federal programs.

“It’s trying to create … areas that are more manageable as we look at the enrollment numbers continuing to go up,” Thompson said.

Board members have discussed the need for more districtlevel administrators for the past year, primarily in work sessions.

Thompson acknowledged that the district may have to add more district-level help down the road, especially if the district builds a second high school or kindergarten center, but this should be the most efficient model for the next three years, he said.

Board members will vote on the proposal next week. If the board approves the additional administrator, a new director would likely be hired in January to start the 2012-13 school year, Thompson said.

The addition would bring the superintendent’s administrative team to five directors, including fi nance, community services and special services, and four managers/coordinators.

The board gave Thompson the go-ahead to hire a new technology manager, a position that has been vacant since Ryan Masterson resigned in June.

The Shakopee School Board voted Monday to refi nance more than $43.5 million in bonds in the hopes of saving taxpayers at least $3.5 million.

The board will work with Northland Securities to advance refund the 2004 bonds, which cover two-thirds of the high school construction project. The bonds are set to come due in February 2015.

Unlike traditional competitive bond sales that set a date when fi nancial advisors think the market will be favorable, advance refinancing allows government entities to set the price at which they want to sell their bonds. Northland then waits until the rates hit the desired number to ensure the district saves at least $3.5 million.

“Here we’re not selling them until we meet the goal,” Michael Hoheisel of Northland said during a Monday work session. “This is almost like a guarantee … If you don’t get the rates on the bonds you thought you’d get, you don’t sell.”

Hoheisel added there’s no cost for the district until a rating is issued, approximately four weeks after Northland begins the sale.

The deal keeps the bonds on the same 10-year maturity schedule, according to Director of Finance Mike Burlager said.

Parents to get say in graduation site Shakopee High School seniors overwhelmingly expressed interest in moving the 2012 graduation off campus if it means more tickets for family members.

Of the approximately 450 seniors to vote last week, 335 voted to have the School Board look at holding graduation off site.

Another 113 wanted the ceremony at the school.

The high school will now survey parents using the school’s messaging system. Principal Kim Swift is expected to report back to the board at the Sept. 26 meeting.

District starts school up by 68 students The School Board learned yet again that projections are just educated guesses, as the district saw more students than anticipated on opening day.

The district reported 7,353 students Sept. 6 — that’s up 68 students from original projections. The high school saw the biggest increase with 77 additional students.

To ease the pressure at the school, Superintendent Rod Thompson approved an additional full-time teacher for the fi rst semester.

Director of Finance Mike Burlager said the district can fund the position from the additional state revenue the enrollment boost will create. The additional revenue will also adjust the supply and capital budgets at some of the schools due to the higher student numbers, he said.

Looking over the enrollment breakdown by grade, Board Chair Steve Schneider said it’s just a matter of time before the district needs more room.

“Our elementaries are packed. We defi nitely need to go forward with our Facilities Task Force [recommendations] and maybe we’ll have to do something next year with kindergarten,” Schneider said.

The board scheduled a work session prior to its Sept. 26 meeting to discuss reconvening the task force to plan how to split into two 7-9 junior highs and establish a sixth-grade center for 2012-13.

Union pickets Anchor Glass

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

For the fi rst known time in the 50-year history of the bottling plant in Shakopee, picket signs mark the entrance of Anchor Glass.

Mold-makers, who stood by the company when it underwent bankruptcy and a partial shutdown in 2006, have been on strike since Sept. 1.

The 13 members of Local 133T are part of a national strike by the United Steelworkers Union against Anchor Glass Container Corp., which has seven glass manufacturing plants beside Shakopee.

The union and corporation couldn’t reach an agreement on health care before the collective bargaining agreement expired Aug. 31.

The contract would have increased employees’ health insurance contributions and deductibles, said Shakopee mold-maker Mike LaPlant. “ T he compa ny used t he economy to try to force us into taking a contract that wasn’t good,” said LaPlant, who heads the union local. “It’s an unfair labor practice.”

He referred further questions about the contract to the

United Steelworkers national headquarters.

Union members are striking “due to unfair labor practices by the company — specifically bad-faith bargaining when it came to negotiations over health care, wages and pensions,” said United Steelworkers Communications Director Wayne Ranick.

Anchor Glass says its offer actually increased the total compensation over the existing agreement, including an increase in hourly wages, no changes to the health care plan coverage for existing members and an increase in contributions to the pension plant.

“Anchor’s USW members have good, well-paying manufacturing jobs that include market-competitive wages and comprehensive health care and retiree benefits,” the company said in a statement. “In an environment of high unemployment and great economic uncertainty, USW leadership has taken an action that, unfortunately, could negatively impact employees and their families.”

Mold-makers’ jobs involve equipment repair and maintenance. They are “highly skilled and experienced craftsmen,”

said Ranick.

At A nchor, mold-m a ker wages average approximately $ 24.75 an hour, said Ranick.

Anchor has the same wage scale at all plants.

LaPlant, who wasn’t at the negotiating table, said he heard the company sent the message that the union better accept its offer because of the economy.

But the Shakopee plant is so busy it can’t keep up with demand, noted LaPlant.

Production continues at the plant, despite the strike.

The hundreds of employees who belong to the larger Glass Molders and Plastic Workers Union are still coming to work.

Delivery trucks continue to enter the plant, but LaPlant said the United Parcel Service and United Pacific Railroad won’t deliver.

Striking workers nationwide represent approximately 6 percent of Anchor Glass’ hourly work force.

Headquartered in Tampa, Fla., Anchor Glass has annual revenue of approximately $800 million and employing approximately 2,900 people.

Shutdown expected to hurt track in 2012 56 due to the shutdown.

On-track wagering this year remai ned f lat, a positive c o n si d e r i n g that two of the largest wagering days over Randy the Four th Sampson of July weekend were lost, track officials said. The import handle, the money b et on C a nt erbu r y races online and from tracks in other states, increased by 6.3 percent.

“Overall the numbers are

encouraging,” track President Randy Sampson said. “Fans continue to enjoy horse racing and that shows in the attendance increase. We also offered a number of special events in conjunction with the races this year that drew large crowds.

Many first-time visitors discovered the excitement of a day at the track.”

But the loss of revenue due to the shutdown will be felt, he added.

“It is likely we will have to run fewer race days or offer lower purses,” Sampson said.

“Neither option is good for the racing industry and the state of Minnesota.”

commentary EDITORIAL

Election letters welcome, but please read the rules Valley News readers head to the polls in November for Shakopee City Council and School Board elections.

There are a lot of candidates and decisions to be made at this very important time. As always, we strongly encourage our readers to utilize our editorial pages with opinions on the election. Unlike other newspapers that limit the number of letters published, we run them all, as long as the author is verified and the letter doesn’t libel anyone. We will add to the size of our editorial pages, if necessary, to accommodate letters.

We strongly believe that our opinion pages should be a forum for everyone who wants to have a say.

However, there are a few special rules regarding election letters and some changes from our normal letters policy due to the high numbers of letters we expect.

I We will accept up to two letters per person, and not more than one each on the city and School Board elections. In other words, no more than one letter related to the city election and no more than one related to the School Board election. No more than one letter from an individual will be published in a week. If we have a high volume of letters, a person’s second letter may be delayed in favor of a fi rst-time writer’s letter.

I Letters must not be more than about 300 words.

I We prefer letters that are emailed. They must include the person’s full name, address and daytime

and home phone numbers for verification purposes. Letters that are on hard copy take more time for processing and thus may be delayed.

I Letters should discuss something relevant about a candidate or issue. Don’t simply tell us that soand-so is, for example, “dedicated, trustworthy, honest, hardworking.”

Let’s assume all the candidates are just that. Instead, tell us what the issues are, and why he or she is the best candidate. Be specific.

I The normal deadline for letters is noon on Monday preceding the Thursday publication date. The deadline will remain for election letters; however, if we receive a large number of letters near the deadline, some may be held until the following week. (Letters that are e-mailed are more likely to get in as the deadline approaches.)

I L e t t e r s w i l l b e publ i s h e d t h rou g h t he Nov. 3 newspap er.

However, because that is the last newspaper before the election, letters that week cannot raise new or controversial issues. If they raise questions or make accusations of which a candidate or his or her supporters might want to reply, they will not be published. They must simply be endorsements.

I Letters should be e-mailed to editor@shakopeenews.com. Letters also can be delivered to 327 Marschall Road S., or mailed to Letters, Valley News, P.O. Box 8, Shakopee, MN 55379.

Need a job? Check out Jobs Fair on Sept. 19 On Friday, the U.S. Department of Labor released its monthly unemployment report, with figures reflecting an economy still struggling to create the jobs necessary to put our nation back on the path to prosperity. In August, the national unemployment rate remained a disappointing 9.1 percent.

To provide direct assistance to Minnesotans who are among the 14 million Americans looking for work, Congressman Kline is hosting a Career & Jobs Fair from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 19 at the Eagan Community Center. More than 65 employers and a variety of employment assistance organizations and educational institutions are scheduled to participate. We hope this fair will provide new opportunities to put Minnesotans back to work.

If you are looking for a job, I encourage you to attend. If you know someone who is looking for a job, please share this information with them. Last year, more than 750 Minnesotans participated in Congressman Kline’s jobs fair, and the response from constituents was overwhelmingly positive.

For more information – including a list of employers attending

the expo, please visit Congressman K line’s website at http://kline. house.gov or e-mail me at Sally.Bryant@mail.house.gov.

I hope to see you Sept. 19 at the jobs fair!

Sally Bryant Burnsville Sally Bryant is Career & Jobs Fair coordinator for Rep. John Kline.

Let’s eliminate roadside litter I live behind our beautiful high school and today, Day 1 of school, I walked along County Road 79 (Spencer Street) and picked up a FULL bag of litter. I do this job every month or so because I just can’t stand seeing all the cigarette butts, cigarette packs, cans, broken bottles and other trash sitting in plain view in our community.

Last spring I carried two car bumpers up the hill to my trash. Luckily I don’t mind doing it — but the embarrassment is to the sign along the highway of the company that claims to be the highway cleanup. Never in our 12 years living here have we seen anyone, company or crew, that has the rights to that sign on County Road 79 pick up the trash.

Please, high school students and

any other litter throwers: Let’s keep our community of Shakopee nice and clean and proud. I am.

Recent Bloodmobile was another success We are very grateful to our community for a successful Bloodmobile.

We deeply appreciate our donors for reaching a total of 144 units.

We also wish to thank our volunteers: callers, reminder callers, setting-up and taking-down volunteers, lunch makers and servers, our greeters and McDonald’s for the orange drink. We wish to thank the Community Center for the facility.

And we thank the Shakopee Lions, Knights of Columbus and KC Ladies Auxiliary for monetary donations.

Our next draw will be a special “O” draw Nov. 10. The next regular draw will be in February.

Hope to see you at the next Bloodmobile.

Vulcanizing love of parades Last weekend I watched three parades — one from a standing position and two from the shaded comfort of a portable chair (the type that folds into a fingerpinching shape suitable for easy transport). Just to clear up any misunderstanding, I should tell you that the parades were on three separate days in two separate towns. To stay in one spot and have three parades file by would be quite unusual and require a great deal of patience.

It’s hard to avoid a parade when you grow up in Minnesota. Most everyone has seen several before their 10th birthday, and by the time they have graduated high school they have most likely walked (or marched) in one or two.

I have seen dozens of parades from the safety of the curb. I have also marched in a couple wearing a high school band uniform, walked in several to support a cause, and drove cars in them during the homecoming festivities of both high school and college.

In college it was a ’73 Chevrolet Caprice convertible that was driven on the downtown mall in St. Cloud past the morning celebrants.

In high school I sat behind the wheel of a ’76 Chevrolet Chevette (Herbie’s cousin).

As fun as it is being in a parade, it may be more fun to watch,

but not all the time. I remember being scared out of my mind by the Vulcan Krewe of the St. Paul Winter Carnival. It seemed that no matter what parade my parents took us to the Vulcans were there waiting to swoop down on us.

These fallen angels would ride in on the back of an old firetruck.

The truck always seemed to stop in front of us, and with the siren screaming they would descend upon the innocent. As terrified children clung to their fathers’ pant legs these masked demons in their red capes and boots would smear the faces of women with a greasepaint kiss. I don’t think Mom was ever set upon by one of their horde; perhaps it was the frame of my larger-than-life father that protected her.

Time marches on and the Vulcans have been forced to modify their behavior, but thankfully we still have old firetrucks crawling down the main streets of small towns. I think that the parades in small towns are better than those of large cities. Macy’s Thanksgiving parade has turned into such an orchestrated hoo-ha with its Broadway-style shows performing for the cameras that I no longer watch it.

Of course there is a limit on the other end of the parade route where a town may be too small to host a parade. Many years ago Nathan and I were prevented from driving through a community because they had closed the only road through town to hold their parade. So we did the only logical thing: we watched. There didn’t seem to be very many spectators as almost the entire population was in the parade.

There were men driving their tractors down the middle of the street without any banners, walkers, floats or signs to indicate their sponsor or purpose. They may have just been headed to the field — it was impossible to tell.

I love a parade (the title of a song written in 1932 by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler). I love the cars, trucks

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS

Shakopee man killed in motorcycle crash A Shakopee man was killed Friday in Burnsville when he was thrown from his motorcycle after rear-ending a car and was then struck by a semi truck on Highway 13 at Diffley Road, according to the State Patrol.

Robert L. Edberg, 46, was traveling southbound on Highway 13 when his motorcycle struck the rear of a 2010 Honda Pilot driven

by Marcie J. Wood, 48, of Savage. Edberg was thrown from the motorcycle and landed between the two lanes and was struck by the semi driven by Benjamin J. Leuthner, 36, of Mayer.

Wood and Leuthner were not injured, said the State Patrol.

The accident occurred at 2:27 p.m.

Mom accused of leaving infant in tub A 20-year-old Shakopee woman has been charged with one felony count of child neglect for allegedly leaving her 10-monthold son in the bathtub unattended.

Liliya Nikolayevna Korzh called 911 on July 17 to report that her infant was barely breathing. She told officers she was upstairs giving her baby a bath when she left the room briefly to make a phone call to her mother, according to the criminal complaint.

Her mother didn’t answer, she said, so she returned to the bathroom and found her son facedown in the bathtub with bubbles coming out of his mouth.

She said she picked the baby up and tapped him on the back, bouncing him up and down. She said she heard him start to breathe as she bounced him on her shoulder and then called 911.

The baby was breathing but weakly when police arrived.

Visibly upset and crying, Korzh allegedly told officers she was a bad mother for letting this happen.

Korzh accompanied her son to Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis, where he received oxygen and a chest X-ray. Her older child was with her parents for the weekend.

Korzh’s story changed a bit when a Shakopee police detective met with her at the hospital.

She told him she was texting her foster mother prior to putting the baby in the bathtub.

After filling the tub up halfway, she said she put her son in and walked into the powder room, directly next to the tub area.

She said her mother had called and since she missed the call, she went into the bedroom to call her back. At that point, she said she heard a gurgling sound and went into the bathroom, where she found her son face fi rst in the water, unconscious.

His body was limp, so she began patting his back, called 911, and then water came out of his mouth, she said.

The baby had moisture in his lungs and was kept in the hospital overnight for observation.

Two accused of international drug smuggling Savage men charged locally A Savage man is accused of orchestrating the trafficking of a popular African and Middle Eastern drug from London to the United States with the help of another local man.

Savage residents Nur Ali A h med a nd Jason Bu r ton Moss, both 40, have each been charged with a fourth-degree felony count of conspiring to sell khat, a stimulant that is banned in Canada, America and most of Europe, but legal in Great Britain.

According to criminal complaints fi led in Scott County District Court, Ahmed was a security guard at Somali Mall in Minneapolis when he asked Moss (who also worked at the mall) to help recruit people to

fly hundreds of pounds of khat into the country.

Mark Williams, commander of the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force, said he can’t comment on the specifics of the case because it’s still an active investigation. However, he said he can only recall one other khat case in the last five years.

“We don’t see a lot of khat,” he said.

Police began investigating when some of the people allegedly hired by Moss were arrested as they flew from London to New York and Chicago.

Detectives have tied Moss to three international trips taken by seven people.

According to court documents: On March 4, two individuals and Moss fl ew from London to New York. They were headed to Chicago, but customs agents found 20 ki-

lograms of fresh khat in a woman’s suitcase. The woman later told detectives she shared an office with Moss at Somali Mall. Moss made it through customs with around 70 pounds of fresh khat, which he allegedly turned over to Ahmed.

On April 4, two people flew from London to Chicago on their way to Minneapolis.

Custom agents inspected one of their suitcases and found 51 kilograms of fresh khat.

That man was arrested and told police he was recruited by Moss. He said Moss gave him $ 500, purchased the airline tickets and paid for his hotel in London.

On April 18, two women flew from London to Chicago on route to Minneapolis. Custom agents found 40 kilograms of fresh khat in each of their suitcases and they were charged with drug crimes in Illinois.

One of the women told police she rented an apartment from Moss and he paid her $1,500 to pick up suitcases containing plant material in London and bring it back to Minneapolis in March. She said she successfully made that trip. This time, she said, the women were each paid $400 and provided airline tickets.

On May 4, police searched Moss’s residence on the 1300 block of Glenhurst Avenue in Savage. He admitted planning the trips from his home office in Savage.

Moss later disclosed that Ahmed asked him to recruit people to transport khat from London in March. He said Ahmed provided money to support the fi rst trip and received the khat in New York.

Another man supported the smuggling trips in April, he said.

1st Annual

Police: Father took kids to Kenya It’s been more than two weeks since a Shakopee man disappeared with his two kids and resurfaced in Kenya.

Police believe 33-year-old Shem Ongeri Nyabicha fled to Kenya after taking off with his 2- and 4-year-old sons, of whom he did not have custody.

Nyabicha’s girlfriend of five years called police on Aug. 30 to report the children missing.

According to court documents, Nyabicha took the kids on Aug. 27 following an argument at their home on Arabian Avenue. He sent his girlfriend a text message saying he and the kids were staying at an undisclosed location for the evening.

Although Nyabicha had threatened in the past to take the kids to his native Kenya, the woman told police she didn’t think he would since the children had no passports.

Two days later, when Nyabicha still hadn’t returned, the woman became nervous and looked for the children’s birth certificates. They were missing.

That same day, Nyabicha called from his father’s home in Kenya. A day later, he allegedly called again and said he had already hurt their youngest son and was going to “fi nish him off.”

The woman received another call on Aug. 31, in which Nyabicha told her he planned to return to the United States with the children for their fi rst day of school (Sept. 7).

Nyabicha has not returned with the children, as of the fi ling of criminal charges on Sept. 7, and has been charged in Scott County District Court with felony counts of kidnapping and deprivation of parental rights.

According the criminal complaint, the woman requested police assistance at her home when Nyabicha physically assaulted her in 2010. During that case, she said his friends told her if she called the police again, she would never see her children again.

She told police that Nyabicha threatened in the past to take the kids to Kenya for his Kenyan wife to raise if she turned him in for sexual assaults. When she told him she would go to Kenya and get her children, he allegedly responded that he could have her killed for $20.

The woman has sole custody of the children, although Nyabicha is listed on their birth certificates.

Driver hurt when his car hits gravel truck A Shakopee man was seriously injured when a semitrailer truck that appeared to be carrying sand or gravel turned into the path of his car on Eagle Creek Blvd. Tuesday night Dougal Huntington, 69, who was headed eastbound in a Dodge car, suffered severe head lacerations, said Shakopee police Capt.

Chris Dellwo. His front end slid under the trailer.

Huntington was transported from the scene by ambulance.

His injuries are considered to be non-life-threatening.

The crash occurred at 8:38 p.m. near Alysheba Road.

The driver of the truck was 61-year-old Glenn Struck. He was exiting his residence on the 2200 block and was attempting to turn left onto westbound Eagle Creek Boulevard.

Police cited Struck for failure to yield the right-of-way.

School Board candidate Gustafson opts not to run Andrea Bauer Gustafson, one of five candidates running for Shakopee School Board, will not be campaigning for a seat on the board come November.

B auer Gu st a fson said Wednesday new work duties will result in more travel, which would make it difficult to serve on the board. She didn’t want to withdraw but thought it was the right thing to do.

“I didn’t think it was fair to keep running for the position when I’ll be traveling a lot

more,” Bauer Gustafson said, “which I wouldn’t be able to do a good job of serving the students of Shakopee or Shakopee itself.”

Bauer Gustafson’s decision came after the official withdrawal window so her name will still appear on the ballot.

Four candidates are vying for three open seats on the School Board. The candidates are Reggie Bowerman, Jeremy Casper, Matt McKeand and Angela Tucker.

Nels and Jenny (Pehrson) Severson proudly announced the birth of their son, Verner, on Sept. 21, 1920, in Trimont, MN. His life changed when he met Lorraine “Larry” in St. Peter, MN while on leave during World War II. They married on Nov. 10, 1943 and eventually settled in Shakopee in 1954.

They welcomed into their family 13 children. Bing taught Industrial Arts and driver’s education and retired after 32 years of teaching. He enjoyed his retirement golfing, antiquing with Larry and solving the world’s problems twice a day with his coffee club buddies. We have many great memories of camping, fishing, his love of football and his beautiful singing voice. He never said, “No” to ice cream or a snickers bar.

He was a member of the James Campbell 1685 Knights of Columbus of Shakopee, Shakopee Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4046 and Shakopee American Legion Post 2.

He will be fondly remembered as a kind, quiet, brave and faithful servant of the Lord.

He is survived by children, Dr. Michael, MD (Linda), Susan Torgrimson, Terry, Tom (Kathy), Mark, John (Marcia), Mary (Jim) Larson, Laurie, Barb, Jenifer (Tim) Brandt, Rick (Barb), Janel (Scott) Knutson and Scott (Eva); 33 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his wife, “Larry”; infant son; two brothers; five sisters.

Visitation was Wednesday, Sept. 14 from 4-8 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 15 from 9-10 a.m. at the McNearney Funeral Home.

Knights of Columbus Rosary was Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

Mass of Christian Burial is Thursday, 10:30 a.m. at St. Mark’s Catholic Church, Shakopee. The Rev. Thomas Boedy, SJ will officiate. Pallbearers are David Severson, Jesse Severson, Nik Severson, Neal Larson, Nate Twedt, Alex Breuer, Tracey Brandt, Ben Severson, Andrew Knutson. Interment at Catholic Cemetery. The Shakopee Veterans Memorial Unit provided military honors.

Dr. Lee Hildman Lee was a supportive, perfectionist, adventurous, energetic, brilliant and hard working husband, dad, papa, son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.

Anyone who knew him, knew he had a zest for life and lived for his family.

Leo and Agnes (Wisher) Hildman proudly announced the birth of their son, Lee on Aug. 30, 1928 in Dyersville, IA. His brother, Jim, was born on Oct.19, 1931. The family had a farm in 1940 near Alta Vista, IA, and it was here where his love for horses began. During many summers, Lee and Jim would join their cousins working and playing on the family farms. He often told us that those summers with Jim and his cousins were his happiest childhood memories.

Lee’s family moved to St. Paul, in 1944, and he graduated from Harding High School in 1945. Lee was committed to furthering his education. First attending the University of Minnesota, he was then off to St. John’s University in Collegeville, earning a degree in philosophy. Lee even attended seminary school at St. John’s University in Camarillo, CA for a short time, before serving as corporal in the United States Army at Madigan Army Hospital in Fort Lewis, WA. His life changed when he met Rosemary while fixing a tire in front of his parent’s grocery store. One of their first dates was chaperoning a party together. Dating for several years, Lee and Rose exchanged wedding vows on Aug. 25, 1954 in Fort Lewis, WA. In the fall of 1954 they moved to Ames, IA where he began veterinary school at Ames State. Moving to St. Paul in February 1955, they welcomed into their family their first child, Mark, in August of 1955. They moved into their first home in August of 1956, which they shared with Lee’s grandparents and brother, Jim and Carla (Jim’s German Shepherd). In October of 1956, Jeri was born.

He went back to school at the University of Minnesota and graduated with a veterinary degree in June of 1960.

He moved his family to Freeman, SD to start a practice.

Lee soon found this was not for him and moved his family back to West St. Paul, we he began his career as an USDA Meat Inspection Supervisor. They welcomed Tami in November of 1961. He was transferred to Rapid City in March of 1962, and Lori was born in October of 1963. In September of 1964, they moved to Worthington, MN and lived there until March of 1968, when they moved to Huron, SD, where he supervised three meat packing plants.

In October of 1968, Lee started building their home, which he and Rose designed together. It was a family affair, where everyone helped building the home of their dreams. It took over seven years, and was an accomplishment we are all proud of completing. Through the years, Lee designed and built the insides of sports vans and converted them into campers. We six lived in them during many trips throughout the Southwest and Canada. The biggest undertaking was a month-long trip to Alaska – again living in the van. We attribute our strong sense of family to the amount of time we were able to spend together in such close quarters. We have many hilarious stories that will keep us laughing during the years ahead of us. Lee enjoyed watching sports (especially football), and playing the guitar, piano and accordion. Lee loved to sing! He also loved history and food, especially brats, cheese, hot fudge sundaes and a cold beer.

Throughout his life, Lee had a love for Clydesdales horses. He collected Anheiser-Busch steins, but ONLY was interested in the ones that had one or more Clydesdales on them. But his biggest passion in life was his family and devotion to the Catholic faith.

A perfectionist, quiet, humble, non-judgmental husband, father, grandfather and friend, who had a sense of humor and taught his family to always see the bigger picture and that there is nothing that can’t be done once you set your mind to it. Lee was 83 years young when he passed away surrounded by his loving family on the evening of Friday, Sept. 9, 2011 at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis.

Lee will always be loved and forever missed by his wife of 57 years, Rosemary, who loved him very much; children, Mark Hildman of South St. Paul, Jeri Hildman of Bloomington, Tami (Jess) Haeg of Jordan, Lori Kalahar of Bloomington: grandchildren, Logan Kalahar, Madison Haeg and Nicholas Haeg; brother, James (Mary Ann) Hildman of South St. Paul; sister-in-law, Dorothy Martin of Pueblo, CO, brother-in-law, Clarence “Joe” (Martha) Legel of Spokane, WA; nieces, nephews and friends. Lee is preceded in death by son-in-law, Tim Kalahar; parents, Leo and Agnes Hildman, his grandparents, Henry and Lena Wisher, brother-in-law, Francis Martin; nephew, Jim Martin. The visitation was Tuesday, Sept. 13 from 4-7 p.m. at BallardSunder Funeral Home, Shakopee, and one hour prior to the Mass at church.

The Mass of Christian Burial was Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 11 a.m. at St. Mary of the Purification, Shakopee. Pall bearers will be Jess Haeg, Logan Kalahar, Nick Haeg, Dar Barthelman, Doug Gerold, and Greg Gerold. Lee will be laid to rest at the Calvary Cemetery in St. Paul.

The Hildman family is served with honor, care and compassion by Ballard-Sunder Funeral Home, Shakopee Chapel www.ballardsunderfuneral.com

Final paving of the road started midweek.

Crews will also lay a new bituminous on Naumkeag Street, Prairie Street, Dakota Street, Minnesota Street and the remainder of Bluff Avenue.

Other changes this week include the installation of street light poles and storm sewer work near Market Street.

All lanes of traffic are expected to open on or before Friday, Sept. 23. The Marschall Road traffic signal will be operational at that time.

common turning movements at the intersection.

The heaviest traffic is from northbound Highway 169 to northbound County Road 69 in the morning and the reverse in the evening.

“This avoids having a left turn for those heavy movements,” Jenson said.

The f inal desig n for the 2013-2014 construction project was announced days after the county showed the Shakopee City Council its final recommendation for reconstructing the north section of County Road 69 in 2012. The council approved a reconstruction concept that differs from a preliminary plan by closing some private road entrances and shifting the road north near downtown.

An open house will be held next week Thursday for area residents and businesses to get an up-close view of the plans for the interchange, which must be under construction in late 2013 to meet a state grant requirement.

An interchange was originally planned as part of the Highway 169 bypass, but was not constructed at the time due to funding constraints. Most of the required right-of-way is owned by the state.

The 69/169 intersection carries some of the highest volumes of heavy commercial traffic of any non-interstate corridor in the state.

The project has received $12.2 million in grant funding from the state’s Safety and Mobility Interchange Program.

The county hopes this is the fi rst step toward adding interchanges in the future at Highway 41 in Jackson Township and Highway 282 in Jordan.

Although the design has been selected, other decisions are left to be made. Frontage road concepts will be shared at the open house.

The reconstruction of County Road 69 — from near the Sha kopee Tow n Squa re to downtown Shakopee — is expected to cost $8 million to $9 million. Construction, which includes replacing sewer and water lines, will begin in 2012 and could possibly last until 2013.

Besides improving the look

Construction on County Road 101/First Avenue through downtown Shakopee is expected to wrap up next week, but one more closure will disrupt traffic.

The intersection of County Road 101 and Marschall Road was expected to close for one day at the end of this week to allow crews to pave the intersection. A detour route will be set up on Fourth Avenue.

As of Monday, project engineers had not announced which day the intersection will be closed.

of Sha kopee’s wester n entrance, the reconstruction will shift part of the road and could reduce the number of private entrances from 30 to 20.

Concrete sidewalk or bituminous trail will be added to both sides of the road (depending on the section), and the railroad bridges near Rahr Malting will be rehabilitated. (United Pacific plans to fund the west bridge renovation, while Canadian Pacific is requiring Rahr Malting to pay for the east bridge that serves the malting plant, county officials said.)

Shifting the road north by 5.5 feet from Clay to Atwood Street will better fit the terrain, requiring less land to be acquired and fewer retaining walls, engineers say. The realignment minimizes right-ofway acquisition on the south side to only temporary easements, although more property will be required on the north side (although there would have been some there too, regardless.)

Two houses on the north side are extremely close to the road

and will require retaining walls in front, said the county’s project manager Greg Felt. A sevenfoot strip of land will be lost.

One of the homeowners has taken the county’s offer to buy up the entire property; the other hasn’t decided.

Even with the possible relocation of these residents, the realignment option is still estimated to cost approximately $800,000 less than replacing the present alignment.

The realignment option also allows the county to keep the road open during construction.

The county is still meeting with property owners about the consolidation of driveways and land acquisition.

One property owner who showed up to the City Council meeting because she thinks the county proposal goes too far for her land, by making three businesses share one driveway.

County officials said they will speak with her about adjusting the consolidation plan.

A fi nal plan will come to the City Council at a later date.

Shakopee Best Market for Eggs: That Shakopee has established a market for eggs second to none of any town or city in the Minnesota Valley will be conceded when it is known that during the past month it shipped 500 cases, almost two car loads of choice, fresh eggs for consumption by the Twin City people, to say nothing of those consumed by its own residents.

Women Teachers Win Fight – will receive same pay as men in New York schools. Men teachers in the elementary schools of New York City appointed hereafter will receive the same pay as women. This will mean that the present salaries paid to men in those positions will be cut almost one-third in the cases of future appointees. The controversy over the questions has been bitterly waged for several years.

Rudy Perpich was given a pat on the back by members of the Scott County Transportation Coalition. “We’re delighted that you have used your voice to speak on our behalf,” Mark Stromwall, county board and coalition chairman, told the governor. “Your letter to Sen.

John J. Feda of Vi l lard, Minn., was hired as 1961-1962 Shakopee Superintendent of Schools by a 4-to-2 school board vote. His annual salary was set at $10,000. In addition, the new superintendent will receive a $300 expense account. He was chosen from a field of 50 applicants.

Church finds new home in Shakopee

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

When Calvary United Methodist Church closed its doors last summer, cong regation members wished their building would become home to a new church body.

Their prayer has been answered.

K i ng of Glor y Lut hera n Church in Eden Prairie closed on the church property Tuesday and will observe its fi rst worship service in the building Sunday.

“We’re very excited about the move and feel this will serve our needs,” the Rev. Les Galland said last week.

A member of the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations (AFLC), King of Glory has called Eden Prairie home since chartering in 1969. The congregation met in schools before building its Duck Lake Trail church in 1972.

King of Glory was not necessarily looking for a new home when the Calvary building came on the market.

Chu rch Ch ai r m a n El li s Olson, one of fou r char ter members still active in the congregation, recalled his reaction when a member suggested King of Glory inquire about the building: “My fi rst remark was ‘No way.’”

But Olson came around to the idea, realizing relocation to Shakopee made sense. The majority of King of Glory members, including Galland, already live in Shakopee, Olson said.

In December, JSM Cos. put in an offer on the church’s 11.62-acre Eden Prairie property. JSM intends to raze the church and build 16 new homes.

It closed on the sale Tuesday, too, Olson said.

The Shakopee location will give King of Glory increased accessibility, visibility and convenience.

The Eden Prairie church is tucked away in a residential

neighborhood that was once a horse pasture, Olson said.

The fellowship and bathrooms are in the building’s basement and not easily accessible for older members of the congregation.

The 7,480-square-foot, onestory Shakopee building is handicap-accessible and located on a main thoroughfare.

Plus, Shakopee is a booming area, said member Mel Fischer of Shakopee, which could help the church grow.

The church had a test-run in the building last spring when it rented out the building for its mid-week Lenten services.

King of Glory is the second AFLC church in Shakopee, joining Faith Lutheran Church.

The fellowship of independent Lutheran churches formed in 1962 following the merger of the Lutheran Free Church into the American Lutheran Church.

Headquartered in Plymouth, AFLC is the country’s fourth largest Lutheran church body with approximately 270 congregations.

King of Glory has about 50 families and offers a blended service of traditional hymns and choruses, Galland said.

The church believes the Bible is the inspired and inherent Word of God and that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone, the pastor said referencing Acts 4:12.

“We’re sort of a family here at King of Glory,” said Galland, who is on his second stint as the church’s pastor. “Our commitment is to invite people in and love them and meet some of their spiritual needs, to pray with them.”

With new owners, the building will no longer house Asamblea de Dios Rios de Agua Viva or Minnesota Music Studios.

The church needs the additional room for its ministries, including Boys and Girls for Jesus, which had been meeting in a Shakopee chiropractor office for convenience, according to Galland.

King of Glory Lutheran Church relocated from Eden Prairie to Shakopee this week, purchasing the former Calvary United Methodist Church building on Vierling Drive. The Rev. Les Galland, left, and Council Chairman Ellis Olson said the church already has a large base of members living in the Shakopee area.

King of Glory Lutheran Founded: 1969 Location: 2488 Vierling Drive, Shakopee Affiliation: Association of Free Lutheran Congregations Sunday schedule: 9:15 a.m. Sunday school; 10:30 a.m. worship

One change local residents will notice is the addition of a steeple, which is being moved from the Eden Prairie building. “It’s mostly for us old duffers,” Olson explained, “because it means we brought the church down here.”

In that same spirit, the church ended its worship service Sunday with a recessional in which congregation

members carried out altar items from the Eden Prairie sanctuary.

T h i s c o m i n g S u n d a y, church members will carry those same items into the Shakopee sanctuary.

“We hope to preach the Word of God to people in this area, to witness and to love them, to share the Gospel of Christ,” Galland said.

PEDALPUB continued from page 1

He and a friend, Al Boyce, flew to Amsterdam to meet the van Laar brothers. They purchased America’s first pedal-powered bar and were given exclusive rights to distribute the Dutch-made bikes in North America.

On April Fools Day 2007, the PedalPub was launched in Minneapolis, offering rides to bachelorette parties, work groups and anyone looking for a good time. Olson had no idea how it would go over, but the response was more than triple his highest estimate.

The reaction was just as wild when the PedalPub took to Shakopee’s streets for the first time on Labor Day. Drivers honked and gave weird looks, a toddler tried to out-bike the contraption on his training wheels and a van passed the PedalPub on Fourth Avenue so a passenger could stick his head out the window for a better photo.

A Shakopee cop, who had heard the PedalPub was in town, pulled over and got out his radar gun near Canterbury Park. The group pedaled hard toward him and cheered after he clocked them at 11 mph.

Those who had witnessed the 16-passenger PedalPub in downtown Minneapolis or on St. Paul’s Grand Avenue were just as ecstatic.

“I can’t believe it’s right here at the American Legion!” pronounced an Eden Prairie woman who hopped aboard with her friend while the vehicle parked outside the First Avenue bar. She texted a photo to her daughter, who responded, “Where are you?”

With the bar crowd sparse on the holiday night, the bartender toyed with closing shop early so she could join the ride.

It was also a raucous occasion for the dozen who had been invited to power the machine’s inaugural run through downtown Shakopee with their feet and legs.

Beers in one hand, group members waved their other arm at bystanders and to signal as PedalPub turned corners. At the helm steering was Olson.

Olson carried a memo from the city in case anybody stopped the pedal-powered party. The state Legislature expanded the open bottle law to treat such multi-passenger

Shakopee financial advisor Paul Youngs, third from left, convinced Olson to give Shakopee a whirl. He recruited locals to power the PedalPub on its inaugural run.

PedalPub The PedalPub is open for tours in Shakopee beginning Sept. 29 Route: Downtown bars to American Legion area Cost: $240 to $285 per 1.5-hour tour Hours available: 4 to 10 p.m. Thursday and Friday; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday Reservations: 952-703-9000 or twincities. pedalpub.com

bikes with a driver the same as a limousine or party bus.

At the start of the journey near Rahr Malting, Olson laid out the ground rules — including that any unruly passenger would be kicked off. The group traveled to Arizonas Restaurant and Lounge on Canterbury Road and back. When night fell on the return trip, Olson reminded the passengers to be quiet as he drove along the railroad.

On board was Shakopee financial advisor Paul Youngs, who guest lectures for Olson, and his friends, including two reporters invited from the Shakopee Valley News. A couple who heard about the venture on Turtle’s Bar and Grill’s Facebook joined the group, as did one of Olson’s

former students.

The idea to bring PedalPub to Shakopee had launched only a couple weeks earlier.

Olson told Youngs over lunch that he had another bike on order and was looking to open a route in a suburb. PedalPub has seven routes in the Twin Cities and also operates in Chicago, with licensees in 10 other cities.

“A lot of people want to do this, but don’t want go to downtown,” Olson said.

He was considering Rosemount or Blaine, but Youngs encouraged him to try Shakopee. He introduced him to bar and restaurant owner Bryan Turtle, who advised a route and place to store the vehicle.

“It’s a different way to see the city,” said Youngs, who thinks PedalPub will be a boon for downtown establishments. “Since it’s so slow, you’ll notice other restaurants and businesses you might want to come back to.”

The average renter of PedalPub is almost 40 and predominantly female (although they invite men along), not the demographic Olson was expecting when he opened. The riders aren’t typical heavy drinkers, he said, but runners and bikers and softball teams. “I’m still surprised by how many family reunions we do. We have a lot of retirement parties and just had a 90-year-

old guy’s birthday party.

“People love this thing.

I’m just blown away by it sometimes.”

Riders bring their own beer (there’s a tap on board for a keg) and can also stop at bars and restaurants.

PedalPub has been so popular it has even spurred a competitor, City Cycle Tours, in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

But Shakopee will be Minnesota’s first suburb with its own pedal-powered pub.

The bar on wheels, which was shipped from the Netherlands and arrived in New York on Monday, is now headed here.

Olson, who secured a Shakopee storage unit to house the pub, is looking for local drivers. He plans to begin operations the last weekend in September and return full swing next spring.

On board again will be Katie Kornder, a Shakopee resident and Scott County 911 dispatcher who had always wanted to try the PedalPub but never thought she could get enough friends to make the trek to Minneapolis.

“It was a really fun time,” said Kornder, who was joined by her boyfriend Josh Baker on the Labor Day run. “Even not knowing anybody, I feel I made a ton of friends that night.”

on us.”

His fellow board members hammered back before voting 4 to 1 for a $61 million preliminary gross levy in 2012 — an increase of $580,000 or 0.9 percent.

(This amount could be lowered — but not raised — prior to final action in December.)

Commissioners say they’ve been repeatedly warned about continual cost shifts and aid cuts from the state, which have totaled close to $9 million in recent years.

“You can argue a position, but you cannot change the facts,” said Commissioner Jon Ulrich of Savage, who has served on the board since 2001. “The idea that we got some pie-in-the-sky presentation — that never happened. We got bleak forecasts the last two, three years. We have taken conservative measures to prepare and be in the position we are in. If anyone has been surprised in the county, they haven’t been listening.”

The 0.9 percent levy bump equals the amount of new property growth in the county and makes up only a fraction of the $4.3 million projected budget gap. But the proposed levy still amounts to a $70 per average household tax increase due to wildly f luctuating property values and major state cuts and tax policy changes.

Only $10 of it is attributable to county spending.

Menden, who said residents and businesses are being nailed with property tax increases at the city and school level, wants the County Board to put the tax levy increase to a vote on November’s ballot.

“Let the people decide,” he said. “It takes the heat off us.”

“I haven’t seen too many times where we put the taxpayer fi rst,” he said, adding that the county has the tendency to blame the state instead of looking in the mirror. “It’s our pet projects or what’s best for us.”

It is too late to put such an initiative on the ballot, responded a very steamed Commissioner Barbara Marschall of Prior Lake.

“You can throw ideas out there and make statements that people will latch onto, but we have a job to do and today is the day to do it,” said Marschall.

“We are elected to make the decisions and they’re not easy.

I’ve been on this board for 15 years and I don’t think there’s ever been anyone at this table who has no regard for what the public pays in taxes.”

Even Commissioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township, who often sides with Menden and voted against a 1.6 percent levy increase last year, stood up for the proposed budget.

“As I walk around the courthouse, people are being moved around and you see it,” Wagner said. “I can physically see ways the county is doing its best to work our way through this.”

Board Chair Tom Wolf of Credit River Township said the county has been remaking itself since the state cuts began, and is looking at more collaborations and efficiencies.

“We’ve reduced 50 jobs,” Wolf said. “We’ve been conservative.”

The county is hoping for a complete salary freeze from 2012 union negotiations, but Menden took issue with the nearly hal f-million dollars in budgeted merit increases from 2011. (Scott County has a unique pay-for-performance compensation model.)

Ulrich said the county has frozen many salaries, offered early retirements and not fi lled positions. Employees keep rocks on their desks as a costsavings reminder and even the county’s unions opened up existing contracts to help balance previous budgets.

“I don’t know anybody in the country that has done that,”

On the math exam, Shakopee students showed the greatest strength in data analysis, Gibson said. Elementary students also showed big improvements in geometry and measure ments, an area teachers have been more purposeful about incorporating throughout the school year, she said.

Overall, Shakopee saw a slide in its math performance between 2010 and 2011. Last spring, the state used a new o n l i n e m at h a s s e s s m e nt , the MCA-III, in grades three through eight, which reflected more rigorous standards.

Proficiency numbers were down at every Shakopee grade level — an average of 14 percentage points. State averages were down similarly.

Shakopee failed to record the state’s growth in percent-

Ulrich said. He added that the county was the lowest in the state two years ago with a negative spread levy.

Wagner took the unusual step in asking County Auditor Cindy Geis — whom he said came from an “incredibly conservative family” near his in Scott County — to come to the podium and give her opinion on whether the county is doing the best it can. “You’ve been in the trenches longer than anyone I know here,” he said.

Geis, who manages more than 60 people, said she’s gone through multiple reorganizations, including the creation of a one-stop customer service area and the downsizing of top positions.

“Everyone is being asked to do more with less,” she said, and is trying their “darndest” to provide the service residents expect. “I see the stress on my staff.

They can’t take much more.”

ROAD PROJECTS Last week, Menden moved that the county only do half of a $2.5 million pavement rehabilitation and improvement project planned for County Road 42 in Prior Lake and Savage so it doesn’t have to raise taxes in 2012. (The county’s share is $1.6 million, with funding also coming from Savage and a federal gas tax pool).

County Administrator Gary Shelton said this would be the “worst way” to balance the budget and only exasperate the problem in 2013. “If you want to change the levy, you should do something structurally. You shouldn’t do it with one-time dollars.”

Commissioner Ulrich called the measure a “false savings” because it could cost a lot to delay part of the project.

“If you do it all at once, it takes less time and has less impact on the traffic,” said County Engineer Mitch Rasmussen.

Not only might the county lose the nearly $900,000 federal contribution if it reduces the project scope, but the cost could go up per mile if the contract has to be renegotiated.

Commissioner Joe Wagner supported delaying the project three weeks to fi nd out, even though the asphalt quality worsens in cold weather.

Menden said he drove the road and didn’t see any marks.

Wolf responded that there is a problem with tenting in the winter.

Rasmussen said if the west end of the project is delayed even two years, it’ll require a full pavement replacement. The east end will also come due in a year or two.

In a recent workshop, county engineers spent hours reviewing long-term road plans with the County Board and going over the safety rationale for certain projects and the benefits of road preservation — a presentation clearly aimed at Menden.

“It seemed like there was no opposition to the fact that we need to maintain what we have,” said Marschall, adding that past boards skimped on road maintenance. “When all roads fell apart and needed overlays at the same time, there wasn’t enough money to do it.”

If county voters had to approve road projects, they would only occur in the most populous areas, said Wagner. “We would never have another road built in the [rural area].”

Wolf said it’s easy to make roads the target and let future boards five or 10 years from now deal with them. He added that projects save lives.

“What’s the cost of a life?” asked Wolf. “I’m not willing to reduce the road budget for a 0.9 age of 11th-graders meeting or exceeding math standards on the MCA-II/GRAD exam.

Statewide, 49 percent of juniors met proficiency, an increase of 6 percentage points from 2010.

Shakopee numbers held steady at 48 percent.

While Shakopee was above state averages in many areas, there’s still room to grow, Gibson said.

“We do have tremendous teachers working extremely hard,” she said. “To be above the state average in many areas, that certainly doesn’t mean we can rest on that or think that all of our work is done.”

The state has yet to release adequate yearly progress (AYP) data pending a waiver to the U.S. Department of Education to be excluded from the federal requirements.

If the waiver is granted, Title I schools failing to meet AYP will not face consequences, Gibson said.

“First day of school” photos … now & then I

t’s definitely that time of year again, isn’t it?

Children and even adults have returned to school, which is a sign of fall as much as our azure-blue sky and leaves changing from green to orange or red.

All the hubbub of getting ready for another school year can make us forget the importance of documenting another milestone in our youngsters’ development.

Fortunately for us, some of our southwestarea readers did not forget. They have submitted favorite back-to-school photos, both current and from family scrapbooks.

We thank them, and to you we say, “Enjoy!”

Isabella (fifth grade) and Derek (second grade) Wendland, of Chaska, put on their best sad faces as they return to school in 2009. The “fat lip,” or pouty face, is a running joke in the Wendland family and father Kevin explained that they’ve taken the same photo in front of the flag for three years running.

“Proud mom” Renelle Ulrich sent in this photo of her daughter, Gretchen Ulrich, on her first day of kindergarten in 1992.

She must have liked school – her mom reports that Gretchen began teaching kindergarten at Chanhassen Elementary School last year, and is teaching first grade at the school this year.

ON WHEELS, THEN AND NOW – Andrew and Grace Bugbee of Eden Prairie (Buzz Danielson’s grandchildren) are pictured in 2003 and 2011. Above – In 2003, Andrew was in third grade and had a broken leg. Sister Grace was his helper. Right – In 2011, both are students at Eden Prairie High School. Andrew is a junior and Grace is a freshman. This time Andrew was Grace’s helper. In 2003, Grace pushed Andrew around Cedar Ridge Elementary in a wheelchair. On Sept. 6, Andrew drove Grace to school. Photos courtesy of Kari Cartier.

This photo is of Brett Vogel (right), 8, entering third grade at Sweeney Elementary School in Shakopee and his sister Nicole Vogel, 5, going to kindergarten for the first time. Brett is now 16 and a junior at Shakopee High School and playing on the varsity football team. Nicole is 13 and in grade eight and running varsity for the cross country team. Both will play on the varsity hockey teams this coming season. They are the children of Mike and Sandy Vogel.

Sue Oestreich, of Chaska, sent in this photo of her son Ryan (born in 1984) coming off the school bus after his first day of school in 1990. “That kid really wanted to go to school,” recounted his mother. When Ryan started kindergarten he was so excited about attending school (like his older siblings), that he slept with his school bag, Sue recounted. Ryan now lives in Colorado.

Joan (Lill) Heise sent us a photo from Sept. 3, 1975 on the first day of school. Joan, pictured on the right, is with her sister Nancy Lill. Nancy was a first-grader and Joan a third-grader at SACS. Their parents are Diane Lill and the late Charles Lill.

Sue Oestreich, of Chaska, sent in these photos of her children, Michelle (born 1972), Mark (1974) and Stephanie (1975) on their first day of school in September 1982. The Oestreichs all attended Chaska Elementary School and graduated from Chaska High School. They all still live in the area.

This is Colton Seekins (left) in 2009 on the first day of second grade at Red Oak Elementary in Shakopee. He is now in fourth grade at the school. Also pictured is Noah Seekins on his first day of kindergarten 2004. Noah is now in seventh grade at Eagle Ridge Academy in Eden Prairie. Noah plays violin and fiddle music and will be singing in the Minnesota Boy Choir this year. They are the sons of David and Lisa Seekins of Shakopee.

Re-do a room for $100 or less

O

nly on TV would a redecorating budget of a couple thousand dollars be considered “shoestring.” In the real world, most of us have a lot less than that to spend on redoing a room.

Fortunately, it’s possible to completely change the look of any room in the house for as little as $100. All you need to do is focus on the design elements that will deliver the most impact for the least cost.

Here’s a room-by-room guide for redos that cost $100—or even less.

Every room A fresh coat of paint is an essential foundation for virtually any room makeover. One gallon will cover most rooms, meaning you can get a good start on your redesign for around $25—even less if you luck out and find a deal.

Decluttering is also another way to give a room a fresh look. Whether it’s your living room, kitchen or a child’s room, removing excess items like papers and toys can make

the room feel open and orderly.

Dining room Your table and chairs are the centerpieces of your dining room. While a new set might not be in the budget, you can easily dress up your old one. Replacing old fabric on dining chair seat cushions can give the set a whole new look. Depending on the fabric color and style you choose, you can create looks that range from modern to traditional. Top off the table with a decorative runner in a complimentary pattern and you’ve redone your dining room for less than $100.

Living room Accessories are the way to achieve a big impact for not much money in the living room. Replace old throw pillows with new, brightly patterned ones. Switch out wall decor with new pieces. Cover up worn wooden floors or shabby carpeting with an elegant area rug. It’s possible to change several accessories and still bring your costs in under the $100 mark.

Kids’ rooms If your youngster is ready for a new look in his room, rip down that teddy bear border, let him pick a paint color and consider dressing up one wall of the room with a mural. You can find plenty of kids’ murals for less than $100 online at websites like DecorPlace.com. Whether he likes a solar system theme or she wants a princess canopy, a wall mural can make redoing a children’s room fast and easy.

Bathroom Get rid of that old, moldy shower curtain.

To create a designer look for not much dough, hang a simple, functional vinyl curtain on existing shower rod, then place a pressure rod just outside it. Add attractive, floor-length curtains from the local discount store; they’ll cost a lot less than comparable versions made for bathroom use.

Toss out worn, ratty old towels with a matching set of new ones in an appealing pattern or color. Finish up by adding

a decorative frame around the existing vanity mirror.

Kitchen Spending a bundle on a kitchen rehab is easy to do, but it’s just as easy to make small changes that have a big impact.

Rather than sinking a lot of money into changing countertops or cabinets, consider simple upgrades like new cabinet

hardware, a new kitchen faucet and a new light fixture. You can also use a wall mural in the kitchen to dress it up. Whether you’re looking for a rustic theme that would fit with Italian murals or a nature landscape that turns a blank wall into a view on another world, you can fi nd a wall mural to fit virtually every decorating theme for as little as $60.

You don’t need the budget of a TV home improvement show to make high-impact, appealing changes to your home. You just need $100 and some ingenuity.

Missota Conference standings

SHAKOPEE VOLLEYBALL

Champs once again Volleyball team wins its own tournament for the fourth time

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

It was an up-and-down week for the Shakopee volleyball team.

First, the Sabers saw their 39-match Missota Conference win streak snapped last Thursday night. They bounced back from that loss to go 4-0 and win their own tournament on Saturday. They followed that up with an impressive straight-set win over No. 3-ranked Wayzata on Tuesday.

At the Shakopee Invitational, the Sabers dropped only one set in the four matches to win the tournament for the fourth time in five years. The Sabers topped Class 1A’s No. 1-ranked Bethlehem Academy 25-16, 2515 in the championship match.

“That was our best match of the year,” head coach Matt Busch said. “Anything they gave us, we took advantage of it.”

Bethlehem Academy beat Class 2A’s No. 1-ranked Jack-

son County Central in three sets to reach the title match.

The Sabers’ road to the title game started off easy as they defeated Anoka 25-13, 25-15 and Rochester Mayo 25-17, 25-16 in their fi rst two matches.

Their third match was much more difficult.

Shakopee dropped the fi rst set to Class 3A’s No. 10-ranked Eagan but rebounded for a 1925, 25-22, 15-11 victory.

“To make that comeback against that good of an opponent was impressive,” Busch said. “Our defense was nearly perfect in those games against the fastest offense we have played this year. Our hitters decided to match the fi repower of Eagan and we managed to go almost the entire two sets without an error.”

That sent the Sabers to the championship match were they played a near flawless game.

For the tournament, Claire Sames had 41 kills followed by 33 from Carlee Hoppe and 11 from Kari Monnens and Taylor

Koehn. Maggie Holcombe had 101 assists while Alex Berger fi nished with 32 digs.

Shakopee followed the tournament win up with a convincing win against third-ranked Wayzata Tuesday.

The Sabers topped the Trojans 25-18, 25-10, 25-15.

Shakopee had a hit percentage of .435 which is outstanding, considering .300 is considered really good.

Sames led the way 17 kills followed by Hoppe’s 16. Holcombe fi nished with 43 assists in just three sets.

STREAK OVER The last time Shakopee lost a Missota Conference match before falling to Chanhassen last Thursday was Sept. 21, 2005 against Hutchinson.

Since then, Shakopee has rolled through the Missota Conference for 39 -straight wins and six-straight conference championships.

That all ended when the Storm defeated Shakopee 25-

Claire Sames puts everything she’s got into a kill attempt against Rochester Mayo.

16, 25-13, 22-25, 18-25, 16-14 in Chanhassen.

“We just weren’t ready to start the match,” Busch said.

“We just weren’t ready.”

After Chanhassen took advantage of Shakopee’s sloppy start, the Sabers played better to force a fi fth and fi nal set.

Chanhassen rallied from a 7-5 deficit in the fi fth set and won 16-14.

“It was a frustrating night but we decided it was going to be a crucial learning experience for us,” Busch said.

Not only was the loss to Chanhassen surprising because of the way Shakopee played, but because of the way the Sabers played in their previous match.

Shakopee destroyed the No. 8-ranked Class 3A team, Eden Prairie, 25-18, 25-19, 25-22 just two days prior to the Chanhassen match.

In that win, Shakopee had 46 digs and 19 blocks. Hoppe led the way with 13 digs followed

by Berger’s 12. Sames had five blocks in the win.

SHAKOPEE CROSS COUNTRY

Strong day for Saber runners Boys and girls earn top-10 finishes

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

Jacob Ames in 106th and Nathan Coleman in 136th.

For the Shakopee boys cross country team, its fi rst meet of the season was a little disappointing.

With that meet behind it, Shakopee turned its attention to the next meet in Montgomery, hoping to run better.

According to their head coach Jason Sheeley they did just that.

Last Thursday, the Sabers fi nished 10th out of 30 teams at the Montgomery Invitational.

“For us, we had a great day,” Sheeley said. “It’s nice to not only be in the top half but in the top third. I think the guys were excited to place as high as they did.”

Sheeley said the main difference between the first and the second meet was that the Sabers paced themselves much better.

“We tried to run smarter than everybody else and pace ourselves,” Sheeley said.

That worked for the Sabers as their mile split times were pretty consistent throughout the meet.

Because of that consistency, the Sabers earned the top-10 fi nish.

Shakopee finished with 348.

Mahtomedi won the meet with 54 points.

Senior Aaron Wood led the Sabers with a time of 18 minutes, 10.1 seconds. That put him in 28th place.

Freshman Bryon Olfert finished in 18:45.1 for 56th place. Eighthgrader Kyle Rachel came in 10 seconds later and in 64th position.

Sophomore Mike Wagner fi nished in 94th place followed by

SHAKOPEE FOOTBALL

Second try leads to win as Johnson hits 30-yard field goal

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

Rarely if ever do you get a second chance in sports.

The Shakopee football team got that second chance against Chanhassen and took advantage of it.

The Sabers defeated Chanhassen 17-15 last Friday night when Alexi Johnson kicked a 30-yard field goal with 17 seconds left in the game.

It was Johnson’s second attempt on the field goal after Chanhassen blocked his fi rst attempt.

On the fi rst attempt, the referee had not signaled the play to start yet, meaning the play had never happened, giving Shakopee another chance on the field goal attempt.

“I feel fortunate,” head coach Jody Stone said. “I wouldn’t say we were lucky to win.”

GIRLS The girls cross country team continued its strong start to the season as it finished third at Montgomery.

Shakopee ended with 110 points, just one point behind second-place Blake’s 109. Prior Lake won the Montgomery Invite with 66 points.

The Sabers had two runners fi nish in the top five and three in the top 20.

Juniors Maria Hauger and Winona Rachel finished first and fourth, respectively, for the Sabers.

Hauger dominated once again as she won by over a minute with a time of 14:04.1.

“Maria looks incredible,” head coach Mark Neu said. “There’s not much more I can say. She is a machine.”

Rachel ran a 15:32.5 to finish in fourth place.

“Winona is stronger than ever,” Neu said. “She would be the No. 1 runner on most teams in the state and often doesn’t get the credit she deserves from the community for what she does for this team.

But her team and coaches see it every day. She’s quiet and modest but when the gun goes off she just runs. It’s beautiful to watch.”

Alli Lynch earned her second top-20 fi nish of the year by coming in 20th with a time of 16:21.2.

Seventh-grader Tess Misgen fi nished in 24th followed by Anna Neu in 61st, Alyson Walked in 64th and Maggie Jakubiak, 78th.

with 17 seconds left.

Stone ordered a 30 -yard field goal try and Chanhassen called a timeout.

After the timeout, the Chanhassen coach was walking off

the field and the referee was waiting for him to get off the field before starting the play.

The Shakopee field goal unit didn’t wait and snapped the ball before the ref and started the play clock. Chanhassen players broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the win — or so they thought.

Since the play hadn’t been signaled to start, the ref ordered another attempt. This time Johnson drilled the 30-yard field goal for the 17-15 lead.

“The ref hadn’t dropped his hand yet,” Stone said. “He was waiting for the coach to walk off the field and when he turned the play was starting and he blew his whistle. Our kids were a little anxious.”

ROUGH START The game got off to a rough start for the Sabers when they

fumbled in their own end zone, giving Chanhassen a safety and 2-0 lead in the first quarter.

Shakopee grabbed an 8-2 lead in the second quarter when senior quarterback Zak Hoffman scored from a yard out.

In the third quarter, Hoffman scored again to give the Sabers a 14-2 lead.

Chanhassen battled back with two touchdowns from Ryan McGuire to take a 15-14 lead with about eight minutes remaining in the game.

Shakopee took the ensuing kickoff down to Chanhassen’s 20-yard but fumbled the ball with three minutes left.

The Sabers’ defense forced a three-and-out and got the ball back with 1:30 left.

“We played a little sloppy,” Stone said. “We had several opportunities that we didn’t capitalize on.”

SHAKOPEE GIRLS SOCCER

Waconia no match for girls Verbeke scores three in big victory

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

Following a tough loss to a ranked opponent, the Shakopee girls soccer team took out its frustration on Waconia.

The Sabers scored four fi rsthalf goals on their way to beating Waconia 5-1 on Saturday at home.

That win came just days after Shakopee lost 2-1 to No. 10-ranked Minnetonka.

Early on against Waconia, it was clear that Shakopee was the better side as it scored four times in the game’s first 40 minutes.

The Sabers added a goal in the second half as they continued their dominance.

“The girls continue to make great decisions as all the goals were again assisted,” head coach Mike Ceola said.

Samantha Verbeke netted

a hat trick for the Sabers in the win and Gracie Vaughan scored twice.

“The girls continue to be very unselfish,” Ceola said. “In fact, I think we can take a few more strikes this year when were inside the 18.”

Ceola said the defense of Lauren VanLerberghe, Haley Baas and Alissa Trudel played solid in front of goalie Amy Menke.

That win came after Shakopee lost 2-1 to Minnetonka when the Skippers scored a late goal.

With the game tied at 1-1, the Skippers ran down a loose ball and put it past goalie Nikki Adams with less than 10 minutes left in the game.

Minnetonka took a 1-0 lead into halftime but it wasn’t long into the second half when Verbeke tied it up at 1-1.

Sabers still searching for first win of season

Team improves to 3-2 on the year

Chaska drops swim team to 0-3 record

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

Despite winning two straight games and moving above .500 for fi rst time this season, Shakopee boys soccer head coach Jon Poppen still would like see some more from his team.

The Sabers defeated Waconia 2-1 at home last Saturday to improve to 3-2 on the season.

That win came after Shakopee topped Minnetonka 1-0.

For Poppen it was the tale of two games.

He called the Minnetonka win “the best match we played so far this year,” but was disappointed by the effort against Waconia.

“We were hoping for better play,” he said. “I was happy with the win and want that to be a part of it but the bigger piece was that we were hoping to play better.”

He was really disappointed in the second hal f against Waconia.

“The fi rst half was OK but in the second half we lost our way,” Poppen said.

Ahmed Abshir and Mario Pena scored the goals against Waconia and senior goalie Josh Fergel got the win.

Against Minnetonka, Pena scored the game’s only goal in what Poppen called a “beautiful, thunderous goal.”

“I felt real good about how we played and the result we got from it,” he said.

The Shakopee girls swim team is still looking for its fi rst win of the season.

Shakopee dropped to 0-3 when it lost 107-78 at Chaska last Thursday night.

The Sabers won only two events against Chaska and both those came from the same swimmer.

Junior Katie Nadeau won the 200 individual medley and the 500 freestyle.

In the 200 IM, Nadeau swam in 2 minutes, 18.32 seconds to win the event. Teammate Sara O’Brien swam a 2:32.51 to fi nish fourth.

Nadeau swam a 5 : 2 4. 2 3 to win the 500 free for the Sabers.

Those were the only two wins for the Sabers but they did turn in some other strong swims.

Eighth-grader Alexandra Doebel swam a 2:08.49 to finish second in the 200 freestyle.

Teammates Gretta Berens and Amanda Edberg finished fourth and sixth, respectively.

In the 50 free, Cassie Lindstrom, Kara Rognrud and

Melody Minea fi nished third, fourth and fi fth, respectively.

Lindstrom and Rognrud also fi nished second and third in the 100 free.

Berens swam a 1:08.36 in the 100 butterfly, which put her in second place.

Doebel along with Somi Yi and Mariah Lattery fi nished second, third and fourth in the 100 backstroke. Doebel led the way with a time of 1:09.87.

In the 100 breaststroke, the Sabers had three swimmers finish in the top five, with O’Brien swimming a 1:15.11 to fi nish second. Sarah Curren was fourth and Chrissy Yost fi fth.

Shakopee fi nished second in all three relays.

In the diving competition, Amber Sinnen scored a 138.25 to fi nish second. Teammates Alexis Congdon and Angela Beranek were third and fourth, respectively.

The Sabers will compete at Farmington tonight and at the Lakeville South Invite on Saturday before hosting their first conference meet next Thursday at 6 p.m. against New Prague.

Alexi Johnson

Jolyssa O’Fallon

Boys soccer, football Alexi Johnson, a key member of the boys soccer team, is being honored for his contributions to the football team. Alexi, a junior, has become the fulltime kicker on the football team and has been busy the first two weeks of the season. In week one against Fridley, he was 7-for-7 in extra points and last Friday against Chanhassen, he was on the sidelines all game until the last 10 seconds. With the Sabers down 15-14 with 10 seconds to go and needing a field goal to win, Alexi was called on to get it done. The ball was lined up, kicked and blocked, creating angst on the Sabers sideline. But the officials ruled the ball had not been whistled “ready for play” so the play never happen. The football was reset and Alexi lined up again – this time the ball went through the uprights for a dramatic 17-15 Sabers victory. Johnson is an honor roll student. His parents are Tim and Julie Johnson.

Girls soccer In five games this season, Jolyssa O’Fallon has tallied three goals and seven assists, including a pair of assists in a 5-1 victory against Waconia on Saturday. A senior, Jolyssa is a strong leader on the field and off, as well as in the school building each and every day. The honor roll student’s other activities include Student Council, National Honor Society and choir. Her parents are Deb and Sean O’Fallon Honorees are selected by “The Committee” in the Shakopee High School Activities Department.

EDEN PRAIRIE

news

Thanks to all of our runners, walkers and rollers, as well as our sponsors and exhibitors, who turned out for the first Boots & Boas Dash/5K Run/Walk Sept. 10 at Purgatory Creek Park in Eden Prairie.
