SHS graduation will move off-campus

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

The class of 2012 will be the fi rst group of Shakopee High School seniors to graduate somewhere other than its high school.

The Shakopee School Board voted unanimously Monday to move graduation to Grace Church in Eden Prairie beginning with this year’s senior class. The recommendation came

after 12th-grade students and parents showed overwhelming support for an off-site graduation.

In a vote, 335 seniors chose to move graduation off campus while 113 wanted to keep it on-site. Of the 51 senior class parents who responded to the voluntary survey, two-thirds wanted to see graduation off-site.

High school staff also supported a move.

Board Member Tony Bonsante

Numbers passing on graduation-required tests take a dip here

said he was surprised by the student response. “I’m glad they had a vote on it,� said Bonsante, who has a 12th-grade daughter, “because it’s their day.�

Shakopee High Principal Kim Swift said the option of having more family attend and the close proximity of Grace Church to Shakopee were the biggest factors in the decision.

SHS has historically held commencement outside on Vaughan Field

or inside the school gymnasium, depending on the weather. But larger graduating classes have made the gym a tight and oftentimes uncomfortable venue.

Graduation will be Saturday, June 9. It is a change from the traditional Friday evening event.

Costs for Grace’s facility will range between $6,000 and $8,000 and include

A couple days after she posted her concerns on Facebook, her fears were realized.

The woman’s side air bags deployed, and fortunately, neither she nor her child was seriously injured. “It’s nerve-racking,� said Paaverud, who lives on Oxford Road South and crosses the road regularly to get to Savage. “Part of it’s because [21] is so wide and there is no speed limit. If there are four lanes going 55 miles per hour and two lanes of turning traffic, that’s really difficult to get across.�

Domestic-violence walk to include Maddox memorial

BY LORI CARLSON editor@plamerican.com

If you go

In 2008, the high-profile murder of Shakopee Valley News reporter Ruth Anne Maddox by her husband, Charles “Tony” Maddox, startled Prior Lake residents into action.

Ruth Anne died at the hands of her estranged husband, who in August was sentenced to 20 years in prison for seconddegree murder. Authorities said Maddox crushed his wife’s neck with a door following an argument in the early morning of Nov. 11, 2008. She died of blunt-force injuries to her head and neck, and her body was found in the couple’s Prior Lake garage the next day.

The city’s Community Safety Advisory Committee already had been working on ways to make Prior Lake a safer place before the murder occurred, but domestic-violence prevention became an even higher priority after the issue hit close to home.

On Saturday, the committee will host the second annual Domestic Violence Awareness Walk at noon at Lakefront Park in Prior Lake. The mile-long walk will benefit Southern Valley Alliance for Battered Women in Belle Plaine, which serves Scott and Carver counties.

What: Walk to support prevention of domestic violence When: Saturday at noon Where: Lakefront Park, Prior Lake Other: $10 freewill donation suggested This year, the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women’s 2008 Clothesline Project will be on display. The display includes a memorial for Ruth Anne Maddox, whose sister also plans to come from Indiana for the walk.

In the 28-year history of the alliance, Prior Lake is the fi rst community in Scott or Carver counties that has organized a walk for domestic violence awareness, said Mary Ann Bigaouette, Southern Valley Alliance’s executive director.

P rior L a ke C ou nci l ma n Richard Keeney, a liaison to the advisory committee, said there’s not enough awareness about how much domestic abuse impacts the local community.

“I don’t think people realize the kind of numbers we’re dealing with,” Keeney said. “They

are staggering statistics.”

In Prior Lake alone, 87 cases of domestic abuse were handled in 2009 by Southern Valley Alliance. A total of 120 cases were reported in Savage that year, and 315 cases stemmed from Shakopee. Also in 2009, Prior Lake police responded to 273 reports of domestic violence, and 33 people in the city were jailed for domestic assault.

Statewide, in 2010, at least 28 Minnesotans lost their lives as a result of domestic violence.

The Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women’s annual Femicide Report, which details the deaths of women, children and even some men as a result of domestic abuse, urges the community to “remember their names” and pay attention to signs of abuse.

“While the ultimate responsibility for these murders rests with the perpetrators alone, opportunities for meaningful intervention in many of these cases were missed,” the report states. “Especially in the cases in which the victim reached out for help, we should examine the reasons why our systems ultimately failed to protect those victims from lethal violence.”

WALK THE WALK Walkers are encouraged to make a $10 freewill donation

Ruth Anne Maddox benefiting Southern Valley Alliance when registering at the walk. The event is co-sponsored by the alliance, the city’s safety advisory committee and the Prior Lake Optimist Club.

The first 100 walkers will receive a drawstring backpack and handouts describing the scope and impact of domestic violence. Staff members from Southern Valley Alliance will share information and answer questions.

The walk committee is looking for volunteers to assist with the event. Volunteer opportunities include setting up information stations and directing walkers along the route. Training will be provided.

RIVER CROSSING STUDY

New to the area?

Chaska, Scott County favor 101 of flooding, that is a concern.”

The project timing is yet to be determined, but would be sometime between 2013 and 2108.

The state’s flood-mitigation study also looked at improvements to the Bloomington Ferry Bridge. Temporary capacity improvements, such as the restriping implemented during the 2011 spring flood, were identified along with additional improvements to reduce pavement damage and fix the constrictions at Old Shakopee Road.

The state can’t simply make the temporary capacity improvements permanent be cause they wouldn’t meet the federal government standards for highways. (The state was required to remove the restriping after the spring flood.)

A more permanent capacity improvement is also identified in the study. It would add a full lane of capacity to the bridge in both directions for an estimated cost of $44 million. The work would involve widening the two main spans of the bridge, the approaches and nine smaller bridges in the vicinity.

Although the cost is outside of available f lood mitigation bonding dollars, the county hopes the state will consider permanently widening the bridge in the future.

But even t he tempora r y restriping of the ferry bridge would still be helpful for floods or during the anticipated reconstruction of the Highway 35W Minnesota River Bridge within the next decade.

Support is lining up on both sides of the Minnesota River for raising the County Road 101 crossing in Shakopee instead of Highway 41 in Chaska.

Not surprisingly, the Scott Cou nt y Boa rd on T uesday voted to recommend the state construct a 3,0 8 0 -foot land bridge on 101 that would provide 100-year flood protection.

It is estimated to cost $31 million — more dollars than the state has left for flood mitigation; however, turn-back dollars could become available if the state relinquishes control of its portion of the crossing over to Carver County.

The Shakopee and Chaska city councils have both voiced support for an upgrade to the 101 crossing. That suppor t will be included in a letter to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, which is studying lower cost, shorterterm ways to improve mobility during seasonal floods.

Existing funding for river crossing improvements can only fund work on either County Road 101 or Highway 41. But given the option, the Chaska City Council would prefer to see 101 improved over 41 — largely because improvements made to 41 could not withstand the majority of seasonal flooding events.

“The benefits to 41 would be to shorten the closure,” said Chaska City Engineer Bill

Monk. “That’s it.”

Monk noted that due to structural limitations on the river bridge, the proposed corridor improvements to 41 would only have been able to avoid half of the flood events that have occurred since 1993.

The County Road 101 crossing could be raised to a point that would be able to stay open for all but floods reaching the level of the record 1965 flood.

Unlike the 41 crossing — which could carry four lanes of traffic during a flood — the 101 crossing would only have two lanes, under the current proposal.

Chaska sees another advantage to improving County Road 101 over 41 — the ability to reclaim its peaceful downtown city streets.

“This is potentially one of the biggest opportunities we have coming out of this study,” said Chaska City Administrator Matt Podhradsky. “This could allow us to get back to the true main-street section with more destination traffic and less regional traffic.”

With traffic numbers down on Highway 41, the city is eager to revisit the idea of turning Chestnut Street back into a three-lane road with parking on both sides, versus the fivelane highway and no parking that MnDOT has proposed.

Chaska city Councilor Rick Ford was the only member of the council to voice a concern with choosing County Road 101 over 41 for improvements. He spoke on behalf of downtown business owners, saying “Anytime you close down 41 because

Bystanders did all they could for driver

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

Nick Eischens was heading home from the Shakopee Walmart last Thursday afternoon when a van two lanes away from him started drifting through the intersection.

The van hit a median and then veered to the right and down an embankment near Kwik Trip, he recounted.

Ot her motorists, who thought the driver appeared to be having a seizure, pulled over and dragged 56-year-old David Aune of Apple Valley out of his conversion van.

Aune was still breathing, but incoherent, when Eischens rushed to the van.

Eischens, who said he is former Marine and a certified first responder, quickly jumped in.

He looked unsuccessfully for a medical bracelet or medication that might indicate what Aune was suffering from, and tried to find an emergency contact number on the man’s cell phone, but it wouldn’t work. Aune had scarring that made it appear he had a medical condition.

Within a couple minutes, Aune stopped breathing, and Eischens began performing CPR until help arrived.

This was the first time Eischens has used his training in a real-life situation. He was told

Despite attempts to save his life, he later died at St. Francis Regional Medical Center. everything was done within the time it was needed to happen.

“It just didn’t help,” he said.

Aune went off the road in Shakopee’s Southbridge area ab out 3 : 4 5 p.m. T hu r sd ay afternoon, which likely prevented other motorists from being hurt. He came to rest in a grassy area at the southwest corner of County Road 21 and County Road 18.

In addition to CPR, first responders also tried using an Automated External Defibrillator. Shakopee firefighters carried Aune up the grassy hill to an ambulance.

Eischens was devastated when he got a call later that Aune had died at St. Francis Regional Medical Center in

Shakopee.

“I was hopi ng he’d pu l l through,” he said.

Eischens, who is attending college for criminal justice and took an emergency fi rstresponse class a year ago, is grateful he was at least able to help give Aune a “fi ghting chance.”

“The whole situation hasn’t fully hit me yet,” he said last week.

Eischens encourages others to take CPR or renew their training for the latest techniques.

Everyone should include the letters “ICE” with an emergency contact number in their cell phones, he added.

commentary EDITORIAL

Special session surprise not way to do business During July’s special session, to the surprise of many — including, apparently, several lawmakers — the state Legislature eliminated the homestead credit in 2012. The homestead credit, which has been in existence for more than four decades, has helped reduce a portion of the property taxes on homes with market values under $414,000.

Spurred by the “no new taxes” crowd in St. Paul, the Legislature saved $261 million by eliminating the credit.

Only problem is, once again the Legislature acted to make itself look good to taxpayers while in reality, it pushed a budget problem off to local governments. To add insult to injury, some lawmakers are quick to publicly scold local governments for not holding the line on taxes, when they lacked the fortitude to make the difficult decisions themselves.

To soften the blow on lower- and middle-class homes, the state has instituted a market value exclusion that lowers how much of a home’s property value can be taxed and spreads the pain across all properties (including commercial and farmland). But unless local governments fi nd a way to avoid it, most Minnesota homeowners will have a higher property tax bill next year.

And there’s more: the change shrinks the county’s tax base, which means tax rates automatically go up, even if schools, cities and townships

hold their levies flat. It automatically bumps Scott County’s tax rate up 4.1 percent.

“This has the effect of increasing taxes on every property assuming that value stays exactly the same,” explained Keith Carlson of the Minnesota Inter-County Association.

In order for properties to feel no impact from the state change, all agencies with taxing authority in Scott County would have to lower their levies.

The behind-the-scenes move by the Legislature is nothing new for the smoke-and-mirrors lawmakers in St. Paul. In fact, it has been a pattern for a few years now: lower state aid to help avoid tax increases at the state level and then lambaste local governments for even thinking of raising taxes. We’re certain that local governments would extend the red carpet to any lawmaker who wants to participate in local budget sessions.

As we have said in this space before, the state needs to revamp its tax system to reflect modern realities.

What worked in years past to collect taxes and provide services doesn’t work anymore. Until then, residents of our communities — and state legislators — have to understand that they can’t have it both ways: either services and programs have to be cut or eliminated or new revenue (taxes) must be raised.

No matter what option is chosen, let’s be upfront about it in St. Paul.

Bidding farewell to $60, for a good cause Last Saturday night my wife, Rhonda, and I attended the benefit for the Scott County Historical Society, “The Bees Knees 1920s Hangar Dance.” The wingding was held in an airplane hangar at Flying Cloud Airport. There was a buffet, cash bar, and the entertainment was provided by The Roseville Big Band, a 19-piece swing band.

Many of the guests wore period costumes and outside a biplane and a couple old cars were parked to add to the atmosphere. With the band playing songs from that era, it was easy to get in a rollicking mood.

A regular part of these types of galas are auctions, both live and silent. Fortunately, I was prevented from participating in the live auction as I had been asked to be the auctioneer. My compulsive behavior and the fear of losing out on a “good deal” can lead to rash decisions and buyer’s remorse.

With a silent auction there is more time to contemplate and consider. And with the knowledge that your money is going to a “good cause” a little largesse can be forgiven.

One noteworthy piece drew me in. “Living Life,” a print of a painting by Bonnie L. Mohr, a Minnesota artist. The print has a large tree in the middle of a pasture with a fence and gate in the background. It reminded me of the big cottonwood in the pasture behind our barn. The beautifully painted scene caught my eye, but it was the verse printed below the tree that stirred my mind.

“Life is not a race — but indeed a journey. Be honest. Work hard.

Be choosy. Say ‘thank you,’ ‘I love you,’ and ‘great job’ to someone each day. Go to church, take time for prayer. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh. Let your handshake mean more than pen and paper.

Love your life and what you’ve been given, it is not accidental — search for your purpose and do it as best as you can. Dreaming does matter.

It allows you to become that which you aspire to be. Laugh often.

Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them. Some of the best

Forgive, it frees the soul. Take time for yourself — plan for longevity.

Recognize the special people you’ve been blessed to know. Live for today, enjoy the moment.”

Finding nothing there that I could disagree with, I put my name down on the bid sheet. Five dollars was the minimum starting bid, and I was very happy to imagine that I could get such a treasure for such a small price. Feeling rather pleased with myself I walked back to my table.

A little food, a drink and some conversation can occupy 15 or 20 minutes quite easily. I then began to notice that others had taken an interest in my piece. Well, why not? It was beautiful and others could look at it if they wanted. The auction was to remain open for another two hours, but I felt secure knowing my name was on the sheet.

But wait. What did that man think he was doing? He was putting his name on my bid sheet. And now a crowd had gathered; there were more people standing in front of my print. It was too hard to see what was going on, but it was obvious that I had to get up there and see what was going on. I had been outbid and the price now stood at $10. I grabbed the pen and put my name down again.

This pattern repeated itself throughout the evening. Fifteen became 20, then 30, 40 and finally 60 dollars (the stated value of the framed print). The agony finally

Rosters, concessions lacking at soccer games I don’t usually let things bother me too much, but lately I’m getting very frustrated with how some things are being handled at the boys’ varsity soccer home games.

We have played nine games of which four have been home games.

I have yet to receive a roster that has the players’ names spelled correctly and/or the correct jersey number to correspond with the roster. The announcers can’t even give the starting line-up.

Some players don’t even get mentioned because of the wrong roster.

The away games have no problem getting it right.

It is my understanding that the athletic director has been aware of this from the fi rst home game and still, nothing has changed. Don’t you think by the fourth home game someone would have made an attempt to make the corrections? This cannot be that hard of a task to accomplish. Each player is a student of Shakopee schools and I would hope their names are at least spelled right on school documents.

And what’s up with the concession stand? Hot chocolate is only made for home footbal l games, not soccer games. The pizza was gone even before the boys’ varsity game started and we were told they couldn’t order any more. Something is definitely wrong with this picture.

This kind of planning cannot be very good PR for our school. And maybe it doesn’t matter for the soccer crowds.

But I can assure you this would not happen at a home football or basketball game.

So whoever is responsible for getting rosters right or planning the concessions, it is only fair if you do it for one, do it for all.

Thank-you ‘Jane’ for being a good example In this month of September, during which we need to take time to reflect on what has happened in our lives, I try and teach my kids about people who lived through true tough times in this country.

My reference always goes back to the generation that experienced World War II and always seems to maintain respect for this country through thick and thin. It is as if their perspective was permanently affected by their experience. Sept. 11 did that for most of us, but there are times even in my own life where I have to acknowledge I wasn’t affected as much as I should have been.

It is simple to show my kids the example of that generation when they see a woman named “Jane.” We have named her “Grandma Jane” in our house even though they have never spoken a word to her. We only know her name because one time on a jog I stopped and asked. Most days

each week if you are driving near Vierling and Marschall, you will see a woman with a bag of some sort — usually overflowing — never allowing herself to walk by garbage that someone else has left behind. She picks it up. If it is a toy or item that seems like it matters to someone, she will fi nd the closest yard with evidence of kids and place it there. A small act that many don’t even notice but that is making an impact on our neighborhood and our town.

It is people like “Jane” who make this town, this state and this country GREAT and my hope for my children’s generation is that they can be like “Jane” — a humble spirit with a giving heart.

Thank you, Jane, for keeping our neighborhood clean. We are lucky to have you in or near it.

Thank-you from Friendship Manor Friendship Manor Health Care Center would like to thank all the staff and volunteers who helped make our Oktoberfest Picnic on Saturday, Sept. 10 a huge success.

The weather was great, 89 degrees, perfect for an end-of-summer picnic.

The food and entertainment were wonderful. The kids enjoyed the Moon Jump that was supplied by Fjeldstad’s. Also, thank-you to Willie Nelson for making an appearance.

Thank-you to the “High Hats” for providing wonderful music for everyone. A special thank-you goes out to all businesses that donated prizes for our raffle. A big-thank you to Friendship Manor’s Family Council for all its hard work and dedication in helping make this year’s picnic a huge success. Culver’s again supplied us with their wonderful custard that everyone, young and old, enjoyed.

Last but not least, thank-you to the volunteers who helped entertain the children during the picnic. It was a fun-fi lled day with great food and entertainment. The residents and their families thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Whiting: hard worker who will ask questions While Jay Whiting was working on his home addition a couple years ago, I would look out my window and continuously be amazed at the progress. Without knowing much about construction, he would tirelessly be tinkering away until he had it all complete and in fi ne shape. He told me he just read books and wasn’t afraid to ask questions on how to proceed with the project.

I also watched him take and old rust-bucket of a truck and transform it into a fully restored piece of Shakopee history. His 1941 Rock Spring truck is an amazing sight to see. In this case also, he had little knowledge of automotive repair.

That is the type of attitude — not being afraid to ask questions and working tirelessly to complete the job — that makes Whiting the best choice for City Council. That is why I fully support Jay Whiting. We need someone who works hard and asks the right questions on our side at City Hall. I urge you to vote for him Nov. 8.

Whiting cares for the elderly, needy I have known Jay Whiting for many years now, and although I live in Chaska, I can tell you that he cares for elderly people.

I am an 87-year-old widow living on Social Security, and ever since I gave up driving, Jay has made sure I get to church. He faithfully picks me up every Sunday. Before I started riding with him, he also picked up another elderly woman from Shakopee and we rode together until she moved to be closer to her family.

Until I could no longer do it, I had worked with Jay for many years serving monthly Loaves & Fishes meals to the hungry. We began serving together in Minneapolis and then in Bloomington and now in Shakopee. He plans, organizes, cooks and helps to serve for anyone who wants a meal. His leadership is what keeps this outreach project going for our church.

If he serves as a City Council member half as well as he serves the needy, he will make an excellent addition to your City Council.

SHAKOPEE SCHOOL BOARD

I Finally Lost the Weight!

Administrator may be hired i ntende d to post the position in Janua r y, but Superintendent Ro d T homp son said high interest leads him to believe some topqua lit y c a nRod didates might Thompson be ready to fi ll the job sooner.

Thompson recommended the district post the position immediately and see what kind of candidates show interest. If the talent pool does not meet the district’s expectations, the district can repost in early winter, he said.

The secondary director of

teaching and learning was not included in the district’s 201112 budget. The salary will be absorbed by the general fund, Thompson said.

An additional administrator could also be helpful as the district transitions to two junior highs and a sixth-grade center for fall 2012, Thompson said.

The board also voted to hire an additional teacher to ease class sizes at Jackson Elementary.

The teacher will teach one section of morning kindergarten, which would reduce average class sizes from 23.8 students to less than 20, Principal Doug Schleif said. He or she will spend the other half of the day providing extra math and reading support in fi rst-grade.

The Shakopee School Board decided the investment in another district administrator was well worth the added expense Monday.

Board members voted to hire a secondary director of teaching and learning to help oversee curriculum and instruction in Shakopee’s three secondary buildings.

The new director will split current director Jayne Gibson’s duties. Gibson will become the elementary director of teaching and learning.

The board noted that while Gibson has done a fi ne job in the position, it’s hard to ask one person to be responsible for overseeing a student population of more than 7,300 students.

The district had originally

Preliminary levy calls for 2.9% increase

Mike Burlager

Mary Romansky

district has used bond dollars and capital funds to cover general maintenance and should be OK again in 2012-13.

Overall, the district’s tax base fell by $5.4 million, a decrease of 10.4 percent, according to figures presented by Burlager. The decreased tax base is due in part by the loss of the homestead tax credit. According to figures by the Minnesota Inter-County Association, the school district is losing $578,973 in property tax credit aid.

The district will receive a boost in state aid to help offset the homestead credit loss, Burlager said. Because of the market value change, Shakopee now becomes eligible for

equalizing aids from the state.

The equalizing aids will make up for a $401,000 levy decrease between the general fund and operating referendum levies.

With the tax base shrinking and levy increasing, it would appear taxes are going up, Burlager said Tuesday. How much will depend on whether the district’s new housing and property relieve the falling tax base.

“It would seem taxes are going up. We just don’t know how much,” he said.

Boa rd Member Ca rla Shutrop said she would have liked to see a smaller figure than 2.9 percent, which will be reported on the county’s Truthin-Taxation statements to go out this fall.

Chairman Steve Schneider noted the board can still reduce the levy before December. “I don’t think we want to box ourselves in [at this point],” he said.

Local property owners will have a chance to comment on the levy during a Truth-inTaxation hearing later this year.

Panel to look at junior high split Facing the daunting task of reorganizing three buildings, the Shakopee School Board is going back to the beginning — the district’s Facilities Task Force.

Last winter, the 24-member task force recommended the district transition to two high schools and two middle schools to accommodate the district’s anticipated enrollment growth.

To stave off immediate construction, the task force suggested the district ease its most pressing concern — middlegrade congestion — by reorganizing Shakopee Junior High and Shakopee Middle School into two junior high buildings and moving all sixth-graders to the Pearson Elementary building in fall 2012.

The district will have to look at curriculum, activities/athletics, facilities and personnel as it prepares for reconfiguration, Scott McQueen of Wold A rchitects told the School Board Monday. McQueen laid out a possible timeline for the process.

The task force would be used as a steering committee, while administrators and small planning committees would look at the facility and equipment needs of the three buildings.

For example, the middle school does not have the same tech educ ation or outdoor facilities as the junior high.

The former Pearson building will also need some larger furniture and upgrades, like science labs.

Possible facility improve-

ments would be designed during the winter months with summer remodeling, McQueen said.

“The idea is if this needs to be in place next year, we have a lot of work to do and we need to start pretty soon,” he said.

During a board work session, junior high Principal Chris Endicott proposed that instead of splitting all 7-9 students, the district keep all ninth-graders at the junior high, all seventhgraders at the middle school and split the eighth-grade class in half. The idea could reduce the number of student transitions; however, teachers would likely prefer one all-out change, he said.

The board agreed the proposal is something the Facilities Task Force could explore.

217646

The School Board Monday approved a preliminary 2012 tax levy that would rise 2.9 percent over this year’s, a $613,254 increase that would total $21.7 million.

The rise is primarily due to an increase in debt service. The district will levy an additional 7.5 percent, or $981,491, to cover its debt responsibility. Of the $21.7 million total levy, $18.5 million is voter-approved bond and levy referendums.

The preliminary levy includes no dollars for health and safety or deferred maintenance, two areas the district has declined to levy for in recent years. Shakopee was eligible to levy up to $786,509 in those two funds, which would have increased the overall levy to 6.6 percent.

Board Member Mary Romansky wondered if the district was nearing a point where it would have to begin levying for health and safety and deferred maintenance as Shakopee buildings continue to age.

District Finance Director Mike Burlager said that point is in the future; however, the

Vandals hit Prior Lake High facilities SAVAGE — Was it just a homecoming prank?

Vandals spray-painted gold and black words onto multiple facilities on the Prior Lake High School grounds last Thursday night. The words indicated support for Burnsville High School, Prior Lake’s football opponent last Friday night.

Friday’s game was Burnsville’s homecoming, but the Lakers spoiled it with a win.

Prior Lake High School Principal Dave Lund was hesitant to point the fi nger of blame.

“We don’t know who did it.

It says ‘Burnsville Blaze’ on it, but until we know more I don’t want to jump to any conclusions,” he said. “We have a great student body here. Burnsville has a really good student body, too.”

Burnsville’s principal, Dave Helke, took a different tone in his announcement to students on Friday morning.

“Students – this is your high school and your community and we are asking that if you have any information about the vandalism at Prior Lake High School that you report

it,” he said.

Helke offered a $200 reward for information leading to the people responsible.

During a Friday afternoon phone call, Helke said his request for information had generated several leads during the day.

Savage police Capt. David Muelken said his officers were working with school officials to investigate the overnight damage.

By Friday afternoon most of the spray-paint had been cleaned up, distorted, or painted over.

CO. RD. 21 continued from page 1

Shakopee Police Chief Jeff Tate said he hasn’t reviewed the accident report yet, but has had extra patrols monitoring the speed in the area since the road opened. “We haven’t noticed a significant speeding problem yet,” he said.

The median lacks ample room for vehicles and pedestrians to wait for passing traffic, so people must be confident that both directions of 21 are clear.

A bend in the section of County Road 21 south of the intersection makes it more difficult to gage traffic, said Paaverud.

Anticipated traffic volumes didn’t warrant a signal at the intersection when the road was built, engineers said, although the county anticipates one will be needed in the future.

“People have raised that concern of accidents once County Road 21 opens up,” said Shakopee Public Works Director Bruce Loney. “The county has the jurisdiction of the intersection so any changes would need to be approved by Scott County.

We will monitor the intersection along with the county to see what modifications are needed.”

The county has standards and thresholds it considers when determining whether traf fic sig nals are needed.

County Engineer Mitch Rasmussen said engineers are watching the intersection and the accident will become part of the county’s record.

“We don’t just open the road up and walk away. We are watching it all the time,” he said. “We know it takes tweaking to get it as close to perfect as we can.”

A four-way stop at the intersection would cause accidents because motorists don’t expect one on a major thoroughfare like 21, Rasmussen said.

“You don’t see stop signs on

TESTS continued from page 1

Only 42 percent of the 134 Shakopee 11th-graders receiving free/reduced lunch passed the math exam, compared to a 72 percent-passing rate among the 362 students not receiving free/reduced lunch.

Seventy-two percent of students identifying themselves as white passed the math test while only 21 percent of black students and 3 0 percent of Hispanic students passed. A combined 81 students identified themselves as black or Hispanic.

The reading exam saw similar splits with a 25 percentage point gap between students receiving and not receiving free/reduced lunch. Fifty-six percent of the 138 students identified as Asian, Hispanic or black passed the reading exam, while 86 percent of white students did.

Swift noted that students not passing the tests often fall into multiple special populations.

For example, an immigrant student could be considered an English-language learner and quite possibly low-income, too.

While the high school does offer test prep and interventions, a student’s performance on the GRAD test is a culmination of his or her educational experiences prior to reaching

nounced his resignation from the Shakopee School Board during Monday’s meeting. “I love Shakopee. I’ve been here for 20 years.”

Bonsante accepted a job with Northern Tool and Equipment in Pequot Lakes, Minn., not too far from where he grew up in Crosby, Minn. The new job is a chance for Bonsante to move closer to his parents and siblings.

“It’s time for me to make a change in my life and move back home,” said Bonsante, who has two teenagers in the Shakopee School District.

The resignation was effective Tuesday.

The 41-year-old was elected to the School Board in November 2009. A year earlier, he was a fi nalist for a board seat left empty by the resignation of Todd Anderson.

Project wins concrete award for quality The County Road 21 extension is the first concrete road built

by Scott County (concrete was cheaper to use at the time than bituminous). It won the 2010 American Concrete Pipe Association Project Achievement Award. The project required 18 permits from 7 governmental agencies. It included 33,000 feet of concrete culvert and storm sewer devices, 550 manholes and catch-basins and 1,536 feet of concrete box culverts to carry water and serve wildlife and pedestrian traffic.

42,” he said.

Rasmussen encourages motorists who are turning left from southbound Southbridge Pa rkway onto nor t hbou nd County Road 21 to instead take Southbridge north, which is a safer movement.

Motorists who used to take Southbridge Parkway south to reach County Road 16 and head west toward Savage can instead turn south on County Road 21 to the signalized intersection at County Road 16. It’s just a little longer.

Rasmussen noted that County Road 21 is a major roadway and he wouldn’t advise children to cross there. A pedestrian underpass is available nearby to navigate between Southbridge’s neighborhoods.

Paaverud would like solar warning lights attached to the stop signs at Southbridge Parkway, which is the only nonsignalized intersection along the new road.

She also believes a lower speed on County Road 21 would make the crossing a little safer.

No speed limit has been established for the road, which requires a state analysis.

Until then, the limit is the maximum 55 mph.

The road has no speed l i m it si g n s , although a 40 mph sign left from construction is still up near the 21/ County Road 1 8 i nt e r s e c Mitch tion.

Rasmussen The county has asked the state to determine the appropriate speed for County Road 21, but the study couldn’t be done until vehicles began using the road, according to Rasmussen.

Only the state has the authority to set the speed.

Engineers consider traffic and speed patterns and tend to set the speed limit at the 85th percentile of what motorists are driving, Rasmussen said.

Also still to be completed is the Eagle Creek Transit Station lot at the intersection of County Roads 21 and 16. The park-andride lot, which is anticipated to open in May, will replace the BlueXpress stop at Safe Haven for Youth in Prior Lake.

high school, Swift said.

“Honestly, if you don’t have the fundamental skills in any of those three content areas, it’s more difficult to perform at the level expected,” said Shakopee Teaching and Learning Director Jayne Gibson. “It’s not solely a reflection of high school staff at this point.”

The high school staff plans to look closely at Shakopee Junior High and Shakopee Middle School data to determine how to shape future curriculum and interventions for future students’ needs, Swift said.

“It’s really, really hard to function in our society in any job, even an entry-level job, unless you have basic reading proficiency. That’s very troublesome,” Swift said. “At the same time, it’s hard to fi gure out what’s the best thing to do when a student who gets to be 16 years old and doesn’t have any reading abilities.”

GRAD math and reading exams are embedded in the annual Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments; the writing GRAD is administered in ninth-grade.

Shakopee again performed well on the writing exam with 93 percent of its 514 ninth-graders passing. The state average was 89 percent.

High school students who did not pass the reading and writing GRAD tests must retake the tests until they pass in order to graduate. Students failing the

math exam must make at least two retake attempts in order to graduate, thanks to a five-year state exemption.

Bonsante thanked the Shakopee community, saying he enjoyed the challenging times sometimes more than the easy decisions.

“Tony, you’re going to be hard to replace,” Board Member Mary Romansky said.

The board decided it will fi ll Bonsante’s vacant seat by appointing a board member to the remaining two years of his term.

B o a r d C h a i r m a n S t eve Schneider laid out the board’s options, which also included appointing an exiting board member or giving the seat to the fourth vote-getter in the upcoming School Board election.

Four candidates are running for three open seats during November’s general election.

Board Member John Canny said he prefers giving the seat to the fourth vote-getter “because these are the people that have stepped up and wanted to

lead the district.” It would also ensure someone could join the board as early as November, Canny said.

Most board members preferred opening the seat to any interested candidates, interviewing them and then appointing the board’s top choice.

Board Member Chuck Berg said that option would still allow exiting board members and the fourth voter-getter to apply.

The downside is that interviewing and appointing a candidate will leave the seat open until at least January, Schneider said. With three exiting School Board members, the board agreed it wanted November’s board-elect to be involved in the process.

Superintendent Rod Thompson said the board-elect could act as advisers during the candidate interviews, likely to be at the end of 2011. The new board could then vote on its appointee in January.

Board Chair Steve Schneider said. The rental fee for the facility will come from general funds, Superintendent Rod Thompson said.

Board Member Kathy Busch voted in favor of the proposal, t hou g h she prefer s publ ic school g raduation not at a church. While moving commencement was inevitable,

t he longest tenu red boa rd member said it’s still sad to see it leave Shakopee High School.

“There’s just a bit of sadness about not being here and having to go somewhere else,” Busch said.

The board agreed to re-evaluate the graduation location next summer.

FILLING VACANCY

Highway 169 is another big concern for the Southbridge community. Residents don’t like the new free right that they think gives motorists on County Road 18 the advantage.

Mot or i st s h ave not ic e d longer waits at the realigned intersection of Southbridge Parkway/County Road 18 since County Road 21 opened.

However, it’s likely much of the excess traffic is due to vehicles trying to avoid the interchange construction at County Road 101 and Highway 13 in Savage, said Rasmussen.

During a recent weekday morning, county traffic engineer Tony Winiecki observed the heaviest wait times between 7 and 7:30 a.m. After a half-hour, all waiting northand east-bound traffic could make it t h rough when t he green light turned. However, westbound traffic was still heavy, with a back-up nearly to Crossings Boulevard, at 7:45 a.m.

“Bot h people on Cou nty Road 18 and Southbridge Parkway are having to wait fairly equally,” Rasmussen noted.

“We’re getting a backup on 18 even though it’s given more of a free movement.”

As the novelty of using the new County Road 21 wears off and once the 13/101 interchange is complete, Rasmussen expects traffic to disperse more evenly throughout the area. “It will take some time for traffic to sort itself out,”

Why was County Road 21 built so close to Red Oak Elementary School? Because the school district planned it that way. he said.

“We are also watching and adjusting the timing of the signal at 18 and 21,” he said.

Rasmussen said the County Road 21 extension is an important north-south connector for the county road network.

The clogged Bloomington Ferry Bridge will continue to be problem, he said, but the county can only control the roads within its border.

“I empathize with people, that that sucks,” said Rasmussen. “I don’t like sitting in traffic either. But it’s not our road. We don’t control when it gets expanded or how. We are at the table, though, talking with the Minnesota Department of Transportation.”

MnDOT estimates it would cost $44 million to widen the bridge and its approaches. It can’t simply make the temporary restriping of lanes used during spring flooding permanent because it doesn’t meet federal highway standards.

RED OAK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Another concern for residents is the close proximity of the new road to the rear of Red Oak Elementary School.

Since County Road 21’s alignment was planned prior to the school’s construction, that decision was out of the county’s hands. It has, though, erected a chain-link fence along the school boundary.

School Boa rd Chai r man Steve Schneider recalls the district having less land to work than typical for situating Red Oak, but he doesn’t recall discussion in regards to County Road 21.

“We had to optimize as much as we could to get everything in,” he said.

Schneider does remember commenting on the nice meadow views from the Red Oak classrooms once the school opened in 2002, to which the district superintendent responded: “Wait until 21.”

AYP Shakopee Public Schools learned this week whether its performance on the MCAs was enough to meet the state’s adequate yearly progress (AYP).

However, the Minnesota Department of Education will not release AYP results to the public until Friday.

“There’s reasons to celebrate, but the there’s defi nitely areas to look at and evaluate where needed,” Gibson told the School Board Monday.

AYP is the yearly measure of whether state schools are meeting the benchmarks of the federal No Child Left Behind law. The state had applied for a waiver from AYP consequences, but no action will be taken on the waiver, Gibson learned from the education department. Instead, the state must request another waiver in November.

Thus, Shakopee must move for ward with consequence planning for schools not meeting AYP and receiving federal Title I dollars, Gibson said. Without giving away the results, she said she’s “very optimistic.”

The Valley News website, shakopeenews.com, will have the results when they are released to the public Friday.

A friendly dolphin talked to human beings after saving the life of a sailor who was knocked off his ship by a huge wave Thursday night.

Sailors claim that the young dolphin had been spotted following their ship off the Virginia Beach coastline for Talking Dolphin weeks. The saved sailor had been (Photo: Capt. Blowhard) swimming with the dolphin daily, but claims the dolphin never spoke to him.

"We couldn't believe our ears," declared one stunned crew member after hearing the dolphin's calls for help. "If this dolphin can talk, then maybe others can too!"

The dolphin has not been sighted since he rescued the sailor from drowning by grabbing onto his arm and pulling him back to the side of the ship. Then, the dolphin called out to the men on watch. Think of all the things we could learn about the oceans and our world if we could make contact again!

Chaska woman state’s poet laureate

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

Give Joyce Sutphen of Chaska a handful of zucchini and a basket of apples and you can be sure she won’t let them go to waste. She’ll bake up an apple pie or a loaf of zucchini bread to make the best of the produce she was gifted.

“I feel a responsibility to do something with them,” she explained.

It’s not so different with words.

As a poet, Sutphen knows not to let moments of inspiration pass by. She has five volumes of published poetry and numerous awards to show for it. And now, she’s been given the most illustrious honor a poet can receive in the state of Minnesota.

Gov. Mark Dayton recently named Sutphen the state’s poet laureate. She will serve as the primary spokesperson, supporter and promoter of poetry in the unpaid position.

Sutphen, 62, is just the second official poet laureate in Minnesota. She succeeds Robert Bly — a legend in Sutphen’s eyes.

“This just shows that poets can be legendary or ordinary,” she said in her typical softspoken, humble manner.

While Sutphen may not acknowledge her talent, others are more than happy to.

“Joyce Sutphen is a talented writer and teacher who will be a great voice for poetry in Minnesota,” said Dayton of the appointment. “I am thrilled she will be serving as poet laureate for our state.”

“Joyce is an extraordinary talent whose poetry combines a contemporary rural sensibility with her knowledge of Shakespearean sonnets,” e-mailed Jim Perlman, of Holy Cow! Press, which has published two of her books of poetry including the Minnesota Book Award winner “Naming the Stars.”

“Joyce will be a magnificent poet laureate for Minnesota because of her dedication as a teacher, as a passionate listener, and a friend of our Minnesotan landscape. We are lucky to have her as an activist for inspiring our appreciation and writing of poetry,” said Perlman.

“Joyce Sutphen may well be the most self-effacing poet I know, which is surprising as one considers the strength and accomplishment of her writing,” said Scott King of Red

Chaska’s Joyce Sutphen, pictured in Woodside, Calif., will be Minnesota’s second official poet laureate. She was named to the position by Gov. Mark Dayton.

Dragonfly Press, in an e-mail.

Dragon f ly Press published Sutphen’s two most recent works. “Her poetry is kind and gentle and questioning, but also deeply underwritten by tradition and craft.

“As a publisher, I consider it a very distinct privilege and pleasure to have worked with her,” he continued. “Joyce is a much-loved friend, a muchloved teacher, a much-loved poet; I’m certain she will be a favorite with the citizens of Minnesota.”

Sutphen is looking forward to the opportunity ahead of her.

“It’s great to have a chance to do something for poetry,” she said, noting that she’s still very much in the brainstorming phase of things.

“I hope to bring a lot of those voices together that don’t norma l ly come toget her,” she said.

“I want to do everything I can to have people hear poetry, find places to write poetry, read poetry.”

Sutphen has had good practice introducing people to poetry in her 19 years of teaching.

She teaches poetry, literature and creative writing at Gusta-

vus Adolphus College in St. Peter.

She insists she won’t require her students to refer to her as Professor Poet Laureate Sutphen, though.

“They’ll probably just end up c a l li ng me Joyce,” she laughed.

“We feel incredibly lucky to have such an amazing colleague, and we were beside ourselves when we heard the good news,” stated Rebecca Fremo, chair of the English Department at Gustavus Adolphus. ”Not only is Joyce a gifted poet, somebody whose work engages us all intellectually, emotionally, and even viscerally, but she’s just about the best human being I know. I suppose that’s what makes her such a wonderful poet — that boundless heart of hers.

“She brings gi fts to our students that will last them a lifetime. And we can’t wait to see how she’ll bring more attention to the scores of talented Minnesota writers with whom she keeps company.”

When asked why poetry is important, Sutphen thoughtfully replied, “It’s a really unique way of paying attention.”

“It’s a way of stopping time,” she continued. “We’re so busy, we don’t get a chance to savor the details or pay attention as much as we should. Poetry does that.”

Sutphen’s earliest memories of poetry harken back to time spent with her father growing up on their farm near St. Joseph.

“He always made little funny rhymes for us all through the day,” she recalled. “We’d try to keep up with him, but mostly we just stood back and let him go.”

In high school, Sutphen began reading poetry and loved it.

“I fell into it, really,” she said.

Poems like Robert Frost’s “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” “To a Young Child” by Gerard Manley Hopkins and Wallace Stevens’ “July Mountain” spoke to her then and remain among her favorites today.

“I was a very democratic reader,” she said, adding W.B. Yates and Elizabeth Bishop to her list of beloved poets.

Sutphen also found poetry in the music of the times – noting that the songs of The Beatles and Bob Dylan were particularly poetic in the 1960s.

Today, the notions for her own poetry can come from just about anywhere at just about anytime. “It comes from so many different places,” she said.

She draws inspiration from every thing from her drive to work to her home in the Jonat ha n neighborhood of Chaska.

“I live on a 100-acre marsh,” she offered. “I’ve written about the birds, the deer, the wind in the reeds … ” King said Sutphen’s continued dedication to her craft is one of the greatest keys to her success. He likened her devotion to William Wordsworth’s “‘to the sonnet’s scanty plot of ground’ — something like a vegetable garden, a small space, well-tended, out of which have sprung many of her fi nest poems.”

Selling your home out of season?

A great deck makes a difference

I

n a perfect world, no one would ever have to face the challenge of trying to sell a house when there’s snow on the ground and the trees are bare. In reality, people have to sell and buy homes throughout the year.

While winter may not be the optimum season to showcase your landscaping, there is one improvement you can make that will help you boost your home’s outdoor appeal no matter what the season: a deck.

When potential buyers visit your home in winter, they might not be able to envision how green and lovely your backyard will look come spring. But they will be able to see with their own eyes the square footage that a deck adds to the home’s living space.

Decks, patios, sunrooms and porches

have always been popular with home buyers, but real estate agents say that too often those spaces are neglected or not used to their best advantage. Yet outdoor improvements like a deck can significantly enhance your home’s value and appeal.

In fact, at the time of resale, a deck will recoup, on average, about 73 percent of the original cost of building it, according to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs.

Value report.

The cooler temperatures of fall and early winter make the season a great time to add a deck to your home. Or, if you already have a deck, you can enhance its appeal by adding simple touches and accessories.

A bonus space—for example, a tiny deck or rarely used balcony off a master bedroom—can be transformed into a romantic getaway by staging it with cozy, cushioned seating and a raised firepit. You

can safeguard your deck and add designer style with Latitudes deck stones, 16-inch interlocking square tiles made of natural slate or granite. Deck stones can provide an effective fi re barrier that’s an asset under firepits or grills, or when used to create an outdoor kitchen.

Lighting is another way to boost appeal.

LED deck lighting kits, like those offered

by Deckorators, are both practical and visually appealing. Adding lighting to a deck can be an important safety feature, and also helps create a warm, welcoming mood for evening entertaining.

Another improvement that speaks to both safety and visual appeal are deck railings.

Decorative railings with ornate balusters, post cap and post covers can give virtually any wood or composite lumber deck a distinctive look for a modest investment.

SHAKOPEE VOLLEYBALL

Volleyball team fifth in prestigious tournament Sabers go 3-1 at Eagle Invite

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

For years, the Eagle Invitational has been known as the top volleyball tournament in the state.

This year was no different as the tournament featured the top 16 teams in Minnesota.

With the three top-ranked teams in each class along with eight other ranked teams, the Eagle Invitational was at its best.

Shakopee came away in fifth place having gone 3-1 in the tournament.

Blaine surprised everybody by beating the top-two ranked teams in Class 3A to win the tournament.

“The place really doesn’t mean much,” head coach Matt Busch said. “Everybody had at least one loss but Blaine. We were thrilled to death with the result.”

The fi fth-ranked Sabers got an unlucky draw in that they had to play three teams it had already beaten this year.

They opened up with a 25-16, 25-22 win against Eastview.

That sent them into a match

against the seventh-ranked Wayzata Trojans, a team the Sabers whipped in three sets just a week ago.

Wayzata made some defensive changes and also got allmetro player Tony Okuyemi back.

That was enough to defeat the Sabers 26-24, 25-19.

“They made some huge defensive changes and outplayed us, plain and simple,” Busch said.

The Sabers came back Saturday morning to play Eagan, another team they had already beaten.

In a tight match, Shakopee defeated the eighth-ranked Wildcats 27-25, 17-25, 15-9.

“We really showed up that morning and played great sideout volleyball,” Busch said.

The difference in the game was the Sabers’ blocking.

“We were fi nally a force at the net,” Busch said. “We made the best hitter in the state, Taylor McNeil, cautious.”

In the fifth-place match, Shakopee defeated Class 2A’s top-ranked Marshall, 25-16, 25-22.

TWO BIG WINS Prior to the tournament, Shakopee got an easy conference win and some revenge against the team that ended its

SHAKOPEE GIRLS SWIMMING

Gutty effort produces tie

Sabers dominate for first win

Girls win two conference games

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

The Shakopee girls soccer team has not lost in its last three games including a gutty effort at Hopkins on Saturday.

The Sabers came into the game against Hopkins shorthanded and suffered a couple injuries in the game, which forced them to play with only one sub.

Shakopee concentrated on defense and preserving their stamina against the Royals.

That paid off as the Sabers earned a 0-0 tie in the nonconference game.

“The girls showed a lot of hear t in this game,” head coach Mike Ceola said. “Again, with only one sub I really had admiration for the girls’ effort.

We will take this tie.”

A my Men ke ea r ned t he shutout in the net but got some great efforts from her defense in front of her.

“Alexandra [Jones], Jessica

[Willard] and Laura [VanLerberghe] played solid defense,” Ceola said.

Each team’s best chances to score came in overtime but both missed on their chances.

That tie came a fter two Missota Conference wins for the Sabers.

Shakopee defeated bot h Chaska and Farmington 2-1 to stay undefeated in conference play at 2-0-1.

T he Sabers str uggled against Farmington but picked up their play in the second half to get the victory.

“This was really the first game this year we didn’t play all that well,” Ceola said.

The game was tied at 0-0 until Samantha Verbeke broke the tie just after halftime when she redirected a Cara Zastrow header into the net.

Verbeke made it 2-0 only three minutes later when she scored again.

“The girls picked up both the passing and intensity in the second half,” Ceola said.

Against Farmington, Shakopee had seven hitters contributed to a season-high team hitting percentage of 46 percent.

Claire Sames led the way with 16 kills followed by Carlee Hoppe’s nine and Jadine Meyers’ eight.

The Sabers had three setters get more than eight assists with Rachel Rhinesmith leading the way with 17. Maggie Holcombe fi nished with 14 while Alyssa Bleess had nine.

Against Waconia, Sames fi nished with 18 to be the only Saber in double digits. She also led the team with 17 digs. Alex Berger added 13 digs while Hoppe and Holcombe both fi nished with 10.

Shakopee outshot Chaska 27-2 in the game but couldn’t get a goal past the goalie until the 47th minute.

The Shakopee girls swim team fi nally got its fi rst dualmeet victory of the season and did it in dominating fashion.

The Sabers defeated New P rag ue 93 - 8 3 at home last Thursday by winning every event but one.

“Yes, fi nally we got a win,” head coach Kathy Carlson said. “The girls swam very well. The girls did swim some different events but overall had great performances.”

Shakopee started the meet by finishing 1-2 in the 200-medley relay.

The Shakopee boys soccer team suffered another nonconference loss but is still in the hunt to defend its Missota Conference title.

Shakopee fell 2-1 to Hopkins on Saturday but tied Farmington last Thursday to stay a half-game out of fi rst in the conference standings.

Against Farmington, Mario Pena scored as the Sabers got a 1-1 tie against the fi rst-place team.

“It was a good, competitive match,” head coach Jon Poppen said. “The tie didn’t hurt us.”

The tie puts Shakopee in third place with a 2-0-1 record.

Holy Angels is in fi rst with a 3-0-0 record while Farmington is in second at 3-0-1.

Holy Angels and Shakopee meet tonight in Richfield for fi rst place.

The Sabers followed that game up with a disappointing 2-1 loss to the Royals.

“We were inconsistent and came out f lat,” Poppen said.

“We played better in the second half but couldn’t dig ourselves out of the hole.”

Hopkins controlled most of the play the rest of the way and got the go-ahead goal late in the game for the win.

Big second half keeps record perfect Late first-half INT propels Sabers

The Shakopee football team remained undefeated as it powered past Farmington with a dominating second half Friday night.

The visiting Sabers scored 28 second-half points as they won their 11th Missota Conference game in a row.

Those second-half points came after Shakopee scored just before halftime to break a 7-7 tie.

Shakopee safety Brady Fish intercepted a Farmington pass and returned it to midfield with under a minute left.

The Sabers punched the ball into the end zone when Jordan

Gunhus scored from a yard out just before halftime for a 14-7 lead.

“We were tentative in the fi rst half but they [Farmington] are a good team and it took us a while to get going,” head coach Jody Stone said.

“Brady’s interception seemed to get us going.”

After halftime it was all Shakopee.

Zak Hoffman made it 21-7 with an 8-yard run.

The defense got into the act when Scott Bode returned an interception 24 yards for a touchdown.

Hof fman and Kendall Belcher added touchdowns in the fourth quarter to push the score to 42-10.

“I thought we played pretty well,” Stone said.

After a scoreless fi rst quarter, Farmington made it 7-0 early in the second quarter.

Shakopee quickly erased that deficit as Yaree Watford scored from four yards out to tie it 7-7.

T he Sabers did most of their damage on the ground as they rushed for 377 yards on 55 attempts. Gunhus led the way with 158 yards on 17 carries.

UP NEXT The Sabers will host New Prague on Friday for their homecoming game.

The Trojans are having a tough year, having gone 1-3 in their first four games. They defeated Chaska 28-6 last week.

Stone believes t hey a re

better than their record and doesn’t want his team to get fooled by that 1-3 record.

“They are a good team,” Stone said. “We will have a challenge.”

New Prague probably has had the toughest schedule in the Missota Conference so far this fall.

It opened the season against the No. 1-ranked team in Class 4A, Mankato West, and followed that up with the undefeated Holy Angels Stars and perennial conference power Northfield.

It lost all three of those games but got on track when it beat Chaska.

Stone said New Prague runs an option offense that will give the Sabers some trouble because they don’t see that offense much.

Stamp of approval Chanhassen artist wins 4th duck stamp competition

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

F

ans of James Hautman’s work were wondering “what had happened?”

Was he still painting?

Was he going through a dry spell?

The last time Hautman, a Chanhassen-based wildlife artist, won the Federal Duck Stamp was in 1999.

What was he up to?

Not to worry.

Hautman’s entry, “White–Fronted Geese,” won the 2011-2012 Federal Duck Stamp, a highly competitive and prestigious contest that draws between 250 and 300 artists a year.

Hautman’s winning painting will be reproduced and sold as the official Federal Duck Stamp for hunters and collectors and reproduced in limited edition prints.

Hautman fi rst gained fame in 1989, when at the age of 25 he won his fi rst Federal Duck Stamp contest, the youngest person ever to win the competition. This latest win is his fourth.

While he may have earned bragging rights — four Federal Duck Stamp wins in 22 years — no way is he allowed to let it go to his head.

That’s because he’s got two older brothers, equally accomplished as wildlife artists, who’ve also won their share of Federal Duck Stamp contests over the years.

Joseph, the oldest of the three, has won three times; Robert has won the Federal Duck Stamp two times; and that’s not counting the times that each of them has either come in second or third to the other. For example, this year, Robert’s entry was second.

Sibling rivalry?

“Yeah, they give you grief,” Hautman said Tuesday by phone.

“But it’s friendly sibling rivalry. It’s like anything. You always want to win.”

Do they hide their work from each other in the heat of meeting the entry deadlines?

“No,” Hautman said. “We like to run our ideas past each other, particularly in the sketch stage. I like to show my design to everyone, to get a feel for what they like, what they don’t like. Sometimes, what I like isn’t the same.”

With four wins under his belt, Hautman [and his brothers] must be doing something right.

What do the Federal Duck Stamp judges look for in a winning entry?

“They look for a painting they like fi rst,” Hautman said. “Then they get into the more technical stuff, like, will it work well in a small size [for the actual stamp], is it accurate, is the habitat correct. Judges range from ornithologists, biologists, printing professionals, stamp experts and hunters. They try to get experts from each area, to cover all aspects, to avoid any embarrassment of something not being technically accurate or authentic.

After winning four times, has it become old hat?

Hautman laughed.

“It’s still pretty exciting,” he said.

“This one especially since it was the longest gap between wins. The fi rst one was exciting because it was my fi rst and I was the youngest ever to win it. Once you win it, then you have to sit out for three years before you can enter again. Then the other two came along; the last one though was 1999, so it’s been 10 years of entering.

“It was nice to win it,” Hautman said of number four. “It kind of becomes expected after the fi rst three. People were wondering what happened to me. It’s always a couple months every year of working hard at it.”

The fi rst Federal Duck Stamp contest was in 1934 and was won by Ding Darling. Since then, the annual contest has grown in fame and attracts between 250 and 300 entries each year.

“There are a few people who are always in the top and it’s close,” Hautman said. “There’s a lot of people who have a potential to win.

Usually, when you look at the entries,

H

igh gas prices and an uncertain economy are putting vehicle fuel efficiency at the top of many drivers’ priority lists. A 2011 survey by Consumer Reports found that 62 percent of those surveyed are planning on making their next car much more fuel efficient. But

what if a new vehicle isn’t in your budget? Take heart — there are steps you can take now that can help increase fuel efficiency in what you’re driving today.

John and Helen Taylor, known as the world’s most fuel efficient couple, hold 89 world records and travel the world stretching the boundaries of fuel efficiency, are here to help others do the same.

The Taylors say that by simply following the MAP to Smarter Driving, drivers can become more fuel efficient and do it on a budget. The MAP includes:

M aintenance

P roducts

Perform smart maintenance before you drive, including: Make sure tires are not over- or under-inflated.

Proper air pressure cuts down on fuel used while driving. Keeping tires at the correct pressure can improve your gasoline mileage by more than 3 percent.

Keep your engine well tuned and repair problems immediately. If your car has failed an emissions test or is noticeably out of tune, repairing the problem could improve your gasoline mileage by 4 percent, on average.

A ctions Practice smart actions and behaviors while you’re behind the wheel: Avoid the highs and find the lows. Speeding, rapid acceleration and braking can lower gasoline mileage by five percent at lower speeds and by 33 percent at highway speeds. You should assume that each five mph driven over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.29 per gallon for gas (savings based on an assumed fuel price of $3.65 per gallon).

Also, avoid idling. Idling gets zero miles per gallon.

Purchase smart products at the right price without sacrificing quality: Choose a high-quality gasoline. Lower-quality gasolines can leave harmful carbon deposits or “gunk,” which can build up on intake valves and fuel injectors. This negatively impacts engine performance, vehicle responsiveness and reduction of fuel flow — all potentially leading to reduced fuel economy.

Use a loyalty or rewards payment card to save. The Taylors suggest stretching your budget. Shell has teamed up with leading grocers in more than 110 markets across the U.S. where you can earn rewards for using your existing supermarket loyalty card and then redeem the points at participating Shell stations.

Another option is to use a Shell payment card that saves you money at more than 14,000 Shell stations across the U.S. Smarter Driving can go a long way to help you stretch your budget while helping protect your vehicle.

John and Helen Taylor set a new fuel efficiency record for the 48 contiguous states this summer by achieving 64.42 mpg using only Shell gasoline in an unmodified vehicle.

Fuel Efficiency Myths

Gadgets can improve gas mileage. Be wary of any devices that say they can get you better mileage. The EPA has found that very few provide any fuel economy benefits — and some may even damage the engine or increase exhaust emissions.

For a list of tested products, visit www.epa.gov.

Replacing the engine air filter improves fuel efficiency. For older cars with carburetors, this can be true. But today’s fuel-injected engines have the fuel-air mixture adjusted by computers.

Changing a dirty air filter might improve engine performance, but it won’t affect fuel economy.

It’s more fuel-efficient to turn on the AC and close the windows.

Rolling down your windows can cause an increase in your fuel consumption if you attempt to drive the same speed because of the drag from the wind. Yet, it is important to note that air conditioning can also put added strain on the engine by using fuel to operate. So, whenever possible use the fan instead.

by Joos to approve the warrant listing dated September 6, 2011 as presented. Motion carried.

Liaison Clay presented his report. In his report it was stated the City of Shakopee 2012 tentative budget will be presented at the September 6 City Council meeting. The TH 69 construction project was discussed and it was stated Planning and Engineering Director Adams will attend the Council meeting as

continued from previous page

the options for the project will be presented. Commissioner Helkamp asked about the CR 21 opening and it was said the road will open on Friday.

Water Superintendent Schemel provided a report of current water operations. Mr. Schemel indicated water production figures have seen some improvement with the drier weather being experienced. The large water meter testing program was also discussed.

Item 8b: 13 Month Nitrate Report - Advisory was received under Consent Business.

Line Superintendent Athmann provided a report of current electric operations. An outage affecting the St. Francis Medical Center was discussed. Monitoring equipment has been installed to try and pinpoint a root cause for the outage.

The energization of circuits for the Pike lake Substation has been set for October, with the delay being caused by a scheduling conflict with Xcel Energy.

Mr. Adams presented further infor mation on the Pike Lake Substation Design/Construction Monitoring Services cost overruns.

Kevin Favero, SAIC Engineer was present to answer questions by the Commission. The Professional Services contract was presented and discussed in detail. The issue with the contract amount of $313, 520 and the added amount of $76,000 was discussed. The issue of additional services as identified as a cost of $100,000 was also addressed. The total charges by SAIC add up to $489,520. Commissioner McGowan stated this increase of over 50% of the original amount is not acceptable with SPUC paying for several items that should have been paid by others or prevented by better monitoring by SAIC. Commissioner Joos also disputed some of the problems, such as surveying issues, that should not have been charged to SPUC. Mr. Favero was asked if more frequent monitoring of the site would have prevented some of the issues from happening and it was stated that more visits would not have reduced the charges. Utilities Manager Crooks stated that Staff has looked into issues with SAIC and have found no communication between SPUC and SAIC approving the $100,000 costs for addition services. The Commission agreed future contracts with consultants will need to be more detailed in regards to overages from the original stated estimates and other additional services. Commissioner McGowan asked the minutes reflect his opinion that the motion should state the increase in the contract amount be $176,000 and not the $76,000 as stated in the memorandum presented at the August 15 Commission meeting.

Motion by Helkamp, seconded

by Yost, to authorize an increase in the contract budget for the Pike Lake Substation design contract by $76,000. Commissioners Mars, Helkamp and Yost aye. Commissioners McGowan and Joos nay. By a vote of 3-2, motion passes.

The Smart Grid Business Case Analysis and Technology Roadmap was provided to the Commission for a two week review before the presentation by the consultant, West Monroe Partners on September 19.

Item 10a: July Financials was received under Consent Business.

Item 10b: 2012 Wage Planning Sub Committee was received under Consent Business.

Line Superintendent Athmann provided the Commission with an update on potential SPUC facilities signage. Designs, material cost and labor costs were discussed. Consensus by the Commission indicated the “rectangle” sign was their choice for design. The Board would like the final design and cost brought back when it is completed for the Pike Lake Substation. It would be at that time Staff would proceed with budgeting several signs per year until all 13 water facilities and all substations were completed. Staff was also directed to investigate the fading on the SPUC entrance sign and to possibly address the issue with future signage.

The tentative commission meeting dates of September 19 and October 3 were noted.

Motion by Helkamp, seconded

by Joos to adjourn to the September 19, 2011 meeting. Motion carried.

Shakopee designated ‘heart healthy’ by Allina The city of Shakopee has officially been designated a Heart Safe Community, recognizing the community’s efforts to have residents ready to respond when someone suffers sudden cardiac arrest.

Allina Hospitals and Clinics designated the city as a Heart Safe Community Sept.

6 prior to the Shakopee City Council meeting.

“The Heart Safe Community designation means we have put tools in place throughout the community to recognize and care for sudden cardiac arrest victims,” said Greg Jones, supervisor of the St. F rancis Regional Medical Center emergency department.

Through the program, a partnership of local entities have trained more than 1,000

people in free CPR classes and placed 26 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) throughout the community for fi rst responders.

A key element to survival of sudden cardiac arrest is early recognition and the start of CPR, followed by a prompt call to 911. The availability of an AED can improve a person’s chances of survival, Jones said.

Nationwide, sudden cardiac arrest strikes 300,000 people annually. Most communities’ survival rates are only 5 to 7 percent, according to Dr. Charles Lick, founder of Heart Safe Communities and medical director of Allina Medical Transportation. “ For more information on the free CPR Anytime Classes, check out stfrancis-shakopee. com and select Classes.
