Early move for transit services Former Hecker site already put to use

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

The first snow hasn’t fallen yet, but SmartLink Transit driver Michelle Hauger is already looking forward to winter and not having to shovel her bus out after storms.

For a few months now, Hauger has parked her transit bus in the nice warm garage at the former Denny Hecker dealership on Marschall Road.

Scott County closed on the dealership earlier in the year (the weeds are now gone outside the long vacant building) for a future transit hub, but

had to shut down its rented transit headquar ters on First Avenue in Shako pee earlier than expected due to mold issues.

Since of fices h ad n’t b e en c on figured yet at the He cker bu i ld i n g , Lezlie the county moved Weldon transit employees and schedulers — 10 full-time staff — in late August to the first floor of the county Government Center.

Storage for approximately 30 buses is split between the former Hecker maintenance garage and a facility in Carver County.

The county (with help from a $2 million state grant) purchased the Hecker site as the operation hub for local Dial-a-Ride and city circulator buses, but also as another location for express transit service to Minneapo-

A Minnesota company hopes to bring a major motor sports complex that could draw tens of thousands of fans to Elko New Market, a city that already boasts a popular speedway.

The project is estimated to cost around $500 million and include a paved 7/8-mile oval track, 2.5-mile road course as well as a quartermile drag racing strip.

The proposal has a long way to go before becoming solid, but representatives from the International Motorsports Entertainment Development Co. have been meeting informally with Scott County staff and elected officials for several months now.

A similar facility was proposed in 2008 by the Minneapolis-based corporation for a 400- to 450-acre site in Big Lake.

The project is now proposed in New Market Township on land the developer hopes will become annexed by the city, said Scott County Board Chair Tom Wolf, who has met with company representatives. Wolf said he was told the arena could hold somewhere in the range of 80,000 fans Elko New Market City Administrator Thomas Terry, who called discussions “very, very preliminary,� said the development company will unveil its concept to a joint meeting of city, township and county officials at 7 p.m. Nov. 29 at Eagle View Elementary School in Elko New Market.

According to the company’s website, MinnesotaSpeedwayPark.com, the international motor speedway and event center would include a drifting course, 1,500-foot exposition center, hotels and restaurants. “Plans to add courses for motocross, snocross and karting are also being considered,� the site says.

School tech hiring raises board members’ hackles

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

The Shakopee School Board got the candidate it wanted, but it wasn’t easy or unanimous.

The School Board voted 4-2 Monday to hire Yvonne Anderson as the district’s new technology manager despite Anderson twice turning down the district’s contract offers.

Anderson, supervisor of information systems at Northeast Metro 916

School District, will receive an annual salary of $90,000, a 15 percent increase over the district’s former technology manager, who left last spring after two years on the job.

Boa rd members di f fered on whether it was appropriate to raise the contract offer, in which the salary had been advertised between $75,000 and $ 85,000, according to Superintendent Rod Thompson.

SCHOOL BOARD NEWS

Band gets OK for trips to Europe Shakopee High School band students may be playing in the great cathedrals of Europe as early as 2014.

The Shakopee School Board approved a request by high school band director Eric Christenson to expand band tours to include European destinations. The board also gave the department permission for short overnight trips regionally.

Christenson, who leads domestic band tours every three years, wants to expand overseas to increase the students’ educational experience. Band parents have expressed interest in the overseas trips, which are popular in the high school choir department, he said.

Traveling overseas will cost more than domestic tours, Christenson noted. Last year, 96 students traveled to California at a cost of $1,800 per student. Christenson is looking at a possible Germany-Austria tour in 2014 that would cost $2,800 to $2,900 per student.

All tours are optional.

Christenson also requested permission to take band ensembles on one- and two-night stays to local college clinics and regional contests. For example, Christenson said he’d like to take his jazz band to festivals requiring overnight stays.

The Shakopee Band Boosters would pick up the transportation costs; students would only be responsible for lodging, Christenson said.

The high school band department has two curricular bands, two jazz bands and a full-time percussion ensemble.

Christenson hopes to add a marching band as student band numbers increase.

School District ends 2011 in the black The Shakopee School District performed much better in fiscal year 2011 than originally anticipated, according to the district’s annual audit presented Monday.

Board considers busing changes

District expenditures came in $2.1 million below budget at $61.7 million. School revenues were above budget, primarily due to the district’s decision to roll its student activity accounts into the general fund.

District revenues were $63.5 million.

The district had budgeted to draw down its unreserved general fund balance by approximately $750,000; instead the general fund balance increased from $ 8.8 million to $10.5 million, according to audit figures.

Despite the increased fund balance, Matt Mayer of Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd. said the district will likely face some challenges in the coming year due to the state’s funding shifts.

The district will receive only 60 percent of its state aids this fi scal year, which could force Shakopee into short-term borrowing to meet cash flow, he said.

Shakopee continues to operate with less money than its counterparts. Shakopee spent an average $ 8,441 per student in 2010 compared to the seven-county metro average of $10,648 and the state average of $10,251.

“If you are looking at your spending per student here in the district, you are very conservative,” Mayer said.

He attributed the conservatism in part to the fact the district receives less revenue than other districts. Shakopee received $8,347 per student in local, state and federal aid in 2010 while the metro and state averages were $10,757 and $10,301, respectively.

The biggest difference is local property taxes. Shakopee received $972 per student in property taxes in 2010, compared to $1,968 per student metro-wide.

The auditors did raise one issue with the district: time documentation for employees paid with federal dollars. Mayer said the federal government is picky about how schools track time, so the auditing firm offered suggestions on how the district can improve its documentation.

Middle-level students might be walking a little farther (or nearer) to school next fall.

The Shakopee School Board discussed parameters for splitting the district into two attendance boundaries next fall in order to transition Shakopee Junior High and Shakopee Middle School into two 7-9 junior high buildings.

The board, which is using its facilities task force as a steering committee for the split, discussed whether to reset its transportation policy for the middle-level grades.

C u r r ent ly, ju n ior h i g h students (eighth- and ninthgraders) are bused if they live beyond 1 mile from the school; middle school students (sixth- and seventh-graders) are bused beyond three-quarters of a mile.

With the addition of Pearson Elementary as a sixth-grade center, the district must decide whether to alter the walking distances for the junior high and middle school (informally being referred to as West and East junior highs), as well as set a busing distance for Pearson.

Board Member Chuck Berg proposed the board set the west and east junior high buildings at a 1-mile busing distance and Pearson at threefourths of a mile. Chairman Steve Schneider said he’d prefer a three-fourths mile for all sixth- through ninth-graders.

“Wherever you draw that line, you’re going to be wrong,” said Berg, noting it’s impossible to please everyone on this issue.

Altering the distance will impact transportation costs, Director of Finance Mike Burlager noted. The board opted to seek the input of its facilities task force, which met Tuesday evening.

The board also agreed it would like to see west and east have a similar number of students, be balanced in regards to socio economics and language proficiency and consider future city growth.

Junior high is ‘model school’ Shakopee Junior High School has been recognized for its STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education by Project Lead the Way. The school is one of 16 nationwide to be named 2010-11 “Model Schools” for their leadership in STEM education.

Selected schools range in size from large to small, middle to high school. They have high percentages of students engaged in PLTW courses, partnerships in place with business and industry and postsecondary institutions and professional development for teachers and counselors.

“We are excited to recognize these schools for their exemplary work with students on a daily basis,” said PLTW President and CEO Vince Bertram. “Teachers in these classes are inspiring students and unlocking their potential for success and achievement. This work does not happen in isolation. The community, business, and industry partnerships that make this work possible should be commended as well.”

Shutdown led to worst quarter for track Canterbury Park President and CEO Randy Sampson said the state government shutdown last summer had a huge fi nancial impact on the Shakopee horse track, costing it around $1 million a week in revenue over the 19 days, and said the company recorded a pre-tax loss of nearly $ 300,000, the worst third quarter since its card room opened in 2000.

Canterbury Park Holding Corp. Friday announced a net income of $230,132 on revenues of $10,917,762 for the three months ending Sept. 30 compared to a net loss of $132,875 on revenues of $12,011,366 for the same period in 2010.

For the fi rst three quarters ending Sept. 30, net income was $ 92,631 on revenues of $30,891,092, compared to a net loss of $1,153,485 on revenues of $31,253,858 for the same ninemonth period in 2010.

The company said net revenues declined 9.1 percent in the third quarter compared to the same period in 2010, pri-

marily due to the suspension of operations from July 1 to July 20 because of the state of Minnesota government shutdown. That was the primary reason, the company said, for a 7.7 percent decrease in Card Casino revenues and a 16.9 percent decrease in parimutuel revenues when compared to the third quarter in 2010.

Net revenues for the third quarter were also impacted by the suspension of operations in July, which were down 1.2 percent compared to the same period in 2010.

In troublesome news for the company, parimutuel revenues decreased by 9.5 percent compared to the same nine-month period in 2010. That was offset somewhat by a 2.3 increase in Card Casino revenues when compared to the same period last year.

O p er at i n g ex p en se s de creased in both the third-quarter and nine-month periods.

The decrease was $942,130 or 7.7 percent for the third quarter

and $2,147,995 or 6.6 percent for the nine-month period, compared to the same period in 2010.

“Because the shutdown occurred during the heart of our live-racing season, we estimate that Canterbury Park lost as much as $1 million in revenue each week,” said Sampson.

“While it’s impossible to determine the full effect of the shutdown, we do know that the financial impact was significant as the pre-tax loss of nearly $ 300,000 was the worst third quarter for Canterbury since our card room opened in 2000.”

Sampson expressed thanks to Canterbury horsemen, employees and customers for their support of the track during and after the shutdown.

“I would like to express my appreciation to our loyal employees, horsemen, and others who supported us during this difficult period. In addition, we were able to reschedule several race days by extending the live meet through Sept. 11 and finished the

2011 meet with strong fan support, achieving record average daily attendance of 6,143.

“We also continue to be encouraged by strong business in our remodeled Card Casino, and are particularly enthusiastic about growth in our table games revenues. Bolstered by our strong balance sheet and positive cash flow, we have the resources to sustain us as we endeavor to grow our revenues and improve profitability.”

Sampson also continued to push for state approval to offer slots at the track, commonly called a racino.

“Studies have shown that a racino would generate muchneeded revenues for the state of Minnesota, while creating a significant number of jobs in the racing, hospitality and equine industries. A racino would also enable Minnesota’s horse racing industry, which already employs several thousand individuals, to remain competitive and viable.”

Downtown parking changes OK’d There are signs designating resident parking in downtown Shakopee where there are no longer homes.

Suffice to say, it was time for the city’s Traffic Safety Review Committee to update downtown street parking signage, which hasn’t been updated (other than physical replacement) in likely 20-some years.

Earlier this month, the Shakopee City Council adopted the committee’s proposal to revise downtown parking limits.

These changes do not include doing away with the downtown overnight parking ban, however, nor do they address the citywide winter parking restrictions, which are a thorn in many residents’ side.

Shakopee Public Works Director Bruce Loney said the committee’s review of downtown signage was spurred by a lack of uniformity, not a daytime parking problem.

“Maybe we’d like to see a parking problem,” he joked.

T he cou nci l opted to do away with eight-hour parking restrictions, while revising the location of 30-minute and 2-hour parking areas.

Councilor Steve Clay was unable to persuade the rest of the council to alter the ban on overnight parking downtown, however.

“I know it’s there for snow removal and the occasional street sweeper, but anybody who is at the local bar and has too much to drink, we’re encouraging

them to get in their car and drive home drunk rather than let it sit out there and get a ride home from the friend. Why wouldn’t the same odd-even parking rules work on First Avenue?” Clay said.

“The real issue is what it costs to move them to get the plowing done,” responded Mayor John Schmitt.

“It’s a cost to somebody, to the person who had too much to drink or the public to work around them,” Loney said.

The overnight parking ban, meant to ease street-sweeping and snowplowing, is in effect from 2 to 6 a.m.

Councilor Pat Heitzman also brought up the city-wide wintertime parking restriction, which bans overnight parking on the bulk of city roads starting Nov. 1. He discussed the difficulty that arises with having multiple drivers in a household and not being able to park on the street.

“There’s no snow in the forecast, but I have to herd all the cars with two teenagers driving. It gets a little tricky,” Heitzman said. “It should be till the fi rst snowfall. I don’t want to pay $80 a ticket for snowbirds when there’s no snow.”

DOWNTOWN CHANGES There are currently areas with 30-minute, two-hour and ei g ht-hou r pa rki n g l i mit s downtown, but not all of them ref lect current usage of the streets.

On a 4-1 vote (Schmitt opposed), the council accepted the following recommendations:

I Remove the 30 -minute parking sign in front of Lady Di Antiques on Holmes Street, which appears to no longer have a purpose, but keep the half-hour restriction by the post office.

I Remove eight-hour parking signs, as they are difficult to enforce and parking limits in existing city code should suffice.

I Limit parking just outside Stans Museum to two hours, instead of the current eight.

I Limit parking on Fuller Street to two hours next to the County Jail, instead of limiting parking on the other side of the street.

I Provide two-hour parking signs on Fuller Street, Holmes Street, Lewis Street and Sommerville Street, from First to Second avenues. Also on First Avenue from Holmes Street to Sommerville Street; Fuller Street by Stans Museum and the County Jail and on Holmes Street, from Third to Fourth Avenue. The two-hour parking signs will be effective from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., except Sunday and holidays.

I Add more signs to designate the overnight parking restrictions in the core of downtown. These signs — which designate the 2 to 6 a.m. restriction — will be added to Second Avenue, First Avenue and Levee Drive, between Sommerville Street and Fuller Street; and on Lewis Street, Holmes Street and Fuller Street bet ween Second Avenue a nd Levee Drive, reflecting the city ordinance. Other areas outside

these streets, the 2 to 6 a.m. signs are to be removed.

OTHER SIGN CHANGES I

Based on a study by the city’s Traffic Safety Review Committee, the council also approved installing two-way stop signs for two intersections: the Caspian Lane, Gotland Avenue and Danube Avenue intersection west of Shakopee High School, and the Jutland Avenue, Noric Street and Appaloosa Avenue intersection in the Countryside development near Jackson Elementary School.

Both intersections are only one lot away from a roadway intersection that has a 45 mph speed limit. The north leg of both intersections slopes down from the intersection, while the adjacent property slopes up, causing a sight distance issue, particularly in the winter.

The intersection on Danube Avenue was considered due to a petition from the neighborhood.

The Countryside development intersection was studied due to concerns of residents about cut-through traffic from the new Jackson Elementary School.

I The council also approved the traffic committee’s recommendation to remove the two-hour parking signs and install no parking signs on the south side of Levee Drive, from Atwood Street to Fuller Street, next to a senior high-rise apartment building. The curb will also be painted yellow at the ramp to the gazebo. Staff had received a concern from a resident about Levee Drive parking blocking the ramp.

CITY COUNCIL BRIEFS

Thursdays, December 8, 15, & 22 at 6:00 p.m.

City won’t pay for Holmes bridge lighting The lights are up on the recently restored historic Holmes Street bridge, but they’re turned off because no one has taken responsibility for paying for the electricity.

Although the former state highway bridge is now owned by Scott County as part of a multi-jurisdiction land swap that included Shakopee, the county’s policy is not to pay for lighting on bridges, said Shakopee Public Works Director Bruce Loney. And Shakopee Public Utilities — which lit the bridge when previous light poles were tied into the First Avenue circuit — doesn’t pay for pedestrian street lighting, he said.

The estimated annual cost of lighting up the bridge is $1,800.

Instead of asking the utility to fund this through the creation of a special lighting district, the Shakopee City Council opted to request the county pay the bill.

City councilors remarked that the county would be responsible should someone be injured or if the bridge is vandalized due to the lights being off.

“If they want the bridge lit, the county can pay for it,” said Councilor Steve Clay, who took the opportunity to remind residents that it was the state that restored the bridge.

“For all the people mad at us for putting all that money into restoring that bridge, we didn’t,” he said.

The bridge, though usable for pedestrians wanting to reach the north side of the river, doesn’t really go anywhere at this time.

Eventually, it’s envisioned to connect to a future regional trail.

Councilor Matt Lehman said the lighting issue brings up another topic: who will fund pedestrian lighting on regional trails?

The City Council has once again revised the selection process for fi re department officers, giving more authority to the fi re chief.

In 2007, the city moved away from department elections and established a selection process with application letters and interview panels.

With a full-time chief now in place for three years, the council adopted a revised policy that gives him more flexibility in selecting officers.

The chief now can extend an officer’s term for additional twoyear increments without repeating the selection process.

Give Where You Live, help others year-round The Scott Carver Dakota Community Action Partnership (CAP) on Wednesday this week launched its annual Give Where You Live campaign. This year’s goal is to raise $1 million now through Jan. 31 to support agency programs.

The annual campaign has been the agency’s primary fundraising mechanism for several years.

As the holidays approach and people are busy planning celebrations and gifts for their friends and family, CAP asks that they remember their neighbors who are less fortunate.

As everyone knows, these are difficult economic times. Many people are unemployed, while others are underemployed — working one, two or even three jobs in an effort to make ends meet. Many of our neighbors

are going without food and medications. There are people who don’t have warm winter clothing and can’t pay their heating bills or repair a faulty furnace. There are families that are homeless. The CAP Agency helps people meet their basic needs and then plan for a brighter future throughout the year.

There are various ways to contribute. This year, donations can be made online through GiveMN.org, which is a fundraising tool where donors are encouraged to “click, contribute, and change your world.” For other ways to support the Scott Carver Dakota CA P Agency, visit www. capagency.org. Those who prefer to not donate online can send checks to: CAP Agency, 712 Canterbury Road S., Shakopee, MN 55379.

GUEST COMMENTARY

The many languages of Minnesota justice

BY JUDGE EDWARD LYNCH

When a young man appeared in court recently to respond to a minor traffic violation, I sensed an elevated level of anxiety. He answered “yes” when I asked him if he understood the rights I had explained at the beginning of the hearing, and he answered “yes” when I asked him if he understood the charges he faced.

It was when I asked him whether he wanted to plead guilty or not guilty to the charges, and he answered “yes” again, that I realized the reason for the heightened anxiety: He did not understand me.

This experience introduces a subject of increasing importance and concern for the courts throughout Minnesota and the nation: How can we provide meaningful access to justice to the growing population that does not understand English or for whom English is a second language?

A survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau found that from 2006 to 2008 more than 120 languages were spoken in Minnesota and that almost 10 percent of the population in Minnesota did not speak English in their homes.

When non-English-speaking people are involved in court proceedings, they have a right to understand what’s going on.

Even people who can get by in social settings with their English skills may need assistance when they are involved in more formal court proceedings. (After two years of Spanish classes at a local community college, I may be comfortable ordering a cerveza at a cantina in Cancun, but would not want to rely on my Spanish in a Mexico City courtroom with my freedom at stake.)

In 2010, more than 25,800 hearings in Minnesota courts required interpreters speaking more than 88 languages. During this same period, more than 4,500 hearings in the seven counties of the 1st Judicial District required interpreters speaking 48 languages to assist participants; an average of 18 hearings each day require an interpreter. Who provides these services? In years past, the availability of interpreters was uncertain, and the skills of interpreters were mostly unknown.

Friends and family members or contacts from cultural, religious or ethnic organizations would frequently serve as interpreters.

Hearings often had to be continued until an interpreter could be located, increasing the delay, expense and inconvenience to everyone involved, not just the non-English-speaking participant.

The major concern has not been expense or inconvenience, however, but whether the participants

SHAKOPEE

VALLEY (USPS 491-740)

understand the proceedings. If the participant is a witness or a victim, understanding is important; if the participant is a defendant in a criminal matter, understanding Judge Edward is critical. The Lynch Minnesota Legislature recognized this when it passed a law that declares it is “the policy of this state that the constitutional rights of persons disabled in communication cannot be fully protected unless qualified interpreters are available to assist them in legal proceedings.”

Disputes involving some of the most important matters in peoples’ lives are brought into court for resolution. When a person’s freedom, family, property or safety is at risk, he or she has a right to understand completely and participate fully to obtain a just result.

To ensure that non-Englishspeaking people are provided timely, meaningful access to justice and a fair opportunity to understand and participate in court hearings in Minnesota, the Minnesota Supreme Court created the Court Interpreter Training and Certification Program, developed a Code of Professional Responsibility for Interpreters and established rules that explain the role of interpreters in court.

As a result of this effort, more than 1,300 interpreters speaking more than 100 languages are now available to provide services to court participants. More than 750 of these interpreters have passed rigorous examinations and have been certified as interpreters in the 13 most common languages spoken in Minnesota. The courts in Minnesota have come a long way in responding to the needs and rights of non-English-speaking people in court proceedings.

The cost of providing interpreters for court hearings in Minnesota in 2010 was $1.9 million. The cost of providing these services in the 1st Judicial District in 2010 was more than $330,000. In an effort to control these costs, counties throughout the state and in the 1st Judicial District have been developing best practices, sharing resources and entering into contractual relationships with interpreters to provide reliable services at reasonable costs.

In Carver County, for example, interpreters for certain languages are provided via interactive TV from Hennepin County. This reduces travel for the interpreter, allows the interpreter to provide services

Bowerman grateful for ‘trust placed in me’ I am grateful for the trust placed in me by the community in electing me to the Shakopee School Board. My sincere thanks to those who supported me in so many different ways.

I look forward to working with the existing board, the new members and the administration to continue to enhance the quality of local public education. I will do my best to build upon the significant strengths already in place and seek to find solutions to the critical issues our schools face.

I am confident that the Shakopee schools will continue to provide our children with an excellent educational foundation. We should expect no less.

Recommended diet not so bad after studying it I missed an opportunity last week — one that may not come my way again if things don’t change.

I could have and should have gone out to eat for one of those big “hungry man” breakfasts, the kind where you get a couple eggs, sausage or bacon, hash brown potatoes, some toast (with jelly), maybe some pancakes, a glass of juice and a cup of coffee. After one of those you can skip lunch, maybe even supper and use the extra time for something else — like taking a nap. It could have been like the last meal they give to the condemned.

It’s too late now; a reordering of my menu has been called for. I have been advised to go on a low-fat, nofun diet. Apparently, I was killing myself with my dietary decisions.

Last week I went to the doctor for my annual physical. As part of the arrangement it is assumed that I will submit to some rather unpleasant probes and prods by the practitioner. In addition, blood was drawn and tested for the existence and absence of all manner of things.

The results came in a couple days ago. Of the four categories, I am outside all the accepted boundaries of where “they” say I should be. Nothing alarming mind you; however, the nurse did ask if I had a health-care directive.

So now to survive another 48 years I have to eat the “right” foods.

From what I read from “the list” this means, among other things,

Jerry

KUCERA COMMUNITY COLUMNIST

to decrease or eliminate sweets.

Soda is listed as an example. Why anyone would eat baking soda is less puzzling than why it’s listed as a sweet. Oh well, check that off the list.

Candy is also on the list. That’s an easy one to give up since I don’t really like hard candy anyway, especially the sour stuff. I didn’t see chocolate, so I guess that must be OK. I’ve heard some good things about dark chocolate, so I’ll load up on that instead.

Refined carbohydrates were mentioned as something to avoid.

Refined anything sounds rather cultured and high-brow for my Midwest palate. I lean toward the simple, some would even say unsavory tastes. Give me a loaf of bread, a plate of noodles, a quart of chocolate milk, and I am as happy as I can be.

Further down toward the end

of the list omega-3 fatty acids were brought up. I guess I missed the first two of the heavy-set Greek acids. Anyway, I thought I was supposed to avoid fat. Now I am told to consume fatty fish twice a week.

Sounds like a good opportunity to visit a nice seafood restaurant — doctor’s orders. Other foods high in omega-3 fatness are walnuts (they taste great in brownies) and dark leafy green vegetables. I like them in a salad generously topped with croutons and French dressing.

Next, to confuse me even more, I am told high-fat meats are off the table, but fat fish can be the catchof-the-day twice a week. Meats with a high-fat content include lunchmeats, hot dogs and variety meats (you don’t want to know what that is).

It is suggested that I reach and maintain a healthy weight. That won’t be too tough on this diet. If not for that fat fish, I would waste away to nothing. Now if I only start exercising on a regular basis everything will be OK. I am already planning my celebratory meal. I should be pretty hungry by then, hungry enough for a man’s size breakfast.

I like my bacon crunchy, if you don’t mind.

Two Shakopee men are being credited with rescuing a neighbor from a garage fi re last summer.

Ch r is Dassrath was attempting to put out a fi re in a neighbor’s half-open garage when he apparently passed out from the fumes.

Minnesota Street neighbors, Nick Backlund and Colton Clarke, had also rushed over to help when they found Dassrath using a garden hose to get the chemical fi re under control.

“I couldn’t even see the back because it was so smoky,” said Backlund, a father of three.

After unsuccessfully trying to unjam the half-open garage door, Backlund and Clarke followed a Shakopee police officer’s instructions to back away from the garage. But when they got to the end of the driveway, they looked back to see Dassrath lying facedown in the garage.

Backlund and Clarke returned to the garage where they grabbed the unconscious Dassrath and carried him to safety.

Dassrath did not return any phone calls from the Shakopee Valley News.

Clarke, a senior at Shakopee High School, downplayed the rescue. “It’s nothing too special. Probably something that anybody would do when you see somebody who needs help.”

Shakopee High School sophomore Mariah Mercedes released her debut single, “The Sea and the Sky,” Oct. 6. MediaRose Records released the single of Gold Lion, Mercedes’ moniker. A bluesy guitarist and singer most would compare to Adele, Mercedes is a sophomore at Shakopee High School.

This is the leading single of her debut album, “Begin,” which is set to release Nov. 25.

Tate Publishing is due to release a historical fiction novel written by Shakopee resident Lyle Scott Lee. “The Spirit of Nora” is loosely based on Lee’s great-aunt Nora Anderson, a Minnesota school teacher who served as a U.S. Army nurse in France during World War I. “The story I tell is one of redemption and spirituality, and the settings include New York, France and Russia during the early 1900s,” said Lee. “My great aunt passed away in Marssur-Allier, France, two months after Armistice Day, as a result of complications from the Spanish flu. My novel paints a ‘what if’ scenario based on her surviving and overcoming numerous obstacles while trying to make her way back to her home-

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS

Police: Man videotaped girl in bathroom Brent David Matter, 39, of Shakopee, has been accused of secretly videotaping a 15-year-old girl in a private bathroom.

In late September, the girl’s mother reported to police that her daughter was getting dressed in the bathroom of a Shakopee home when she discovered a camera turned on in the video mode.

The camera was placed among clutter on the sink ledge, with the lens pointed toward the shower, according to a criminal complaint fi led in Scott County District Court. The girl said she heard a click and then saw the camera lens move.

The girl said she rewound the camera, watched a portion of video that showed her undressing and then immediately deleted the video. The camera was turned over to police.

The girl’s mother told police she received a text from Matter stating he wanted to talk to her and apologizing if he had “crossed the line.” Police gave the mother a recorder for any future conversations. During a recorded conversation, Matter admitted placing the camera in the bathroom and going back to check if the camera had recorded anything, according to police.

Shakopee police went to Matter’s workplace at the Scott County Government Center. He allegedly said he knew why the officers were there and agreed to meet at the Police Department. Subsequently, he declined to speak with the officers.

The camera was analyzed by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Imagery was uncovered of the girl in various stages of undress, police say.

Matter, who is employed as an environmental specialist for Scott County, was placed on administrative leave prior to the charges being fi led, according to county officials. The issues are not related, they said.

Three fail alcohol compliance checks In one day last month, a minor was able to purchase alcohol from three businesses in Scott County, according to the Scott County Attorney’s Office.

Three are charged in Scott County District with serving liquor to a minor on Oct. 21: Rodney James Hoffman, 57, of Burnsville; Erin Patrice Michels, 24, of Minneapolis; and Martin Michael Henderson, 19, of Chaska.

According to the criminal complaints: Hoffman told deputies he thought the female he sold a beer to at Louisville Lanes looked old enough.

Michels sold a Smirnoff beverage to a minor after asking to see her ID at Black’s Bar at Trail of Terror in Louisville Township.

She told deputies she made a mistake in serving the minor.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Henderson sold a six-pack of beer to two minors at SuperAmerica in Jackson Township. He said he thought the minor who purchased the beer looked old enough.

Home burglaries linked to gang members A fi ngerprint lifted off an attempted stolen Nintendo Wii has led to charges against a St. Paul gang member for multiple burglaries in Shakopee that he allegedly committed with his gang.

On Nov. 12 of last year, police responded to 18 burglaries and thefts from motor vehicles in a four-mile area. The burglars would break into or enter unlocked vehicles and then use the garage door opener to gain access to the residence, stealing video game consoles, cell phones, electronics and credit cards. At one home, a woman was awoken by noises and saw someone running through her house in the dark.

The fi ngerprint was linked to a 17-year-old boy, who claimed involvement in five to 10 Shakopee burglaries. He also implicated Jess Khee Lor, 18, of St. Paul, a 16-year-old and Chee Nou Yang, 21.

The teen admitted being a member of the True Blood 22 gang in St. Paul. He said gang members would divide up the proceeds from stolen good and also use them to throw parties.

Lor told police he was typically a lookout for Yang’s car, although he participated in one to two of the Shakopee burglaries.

Police have been unable to make contact with Yang.

Woman charged with check forgery A 31-year-old Roseville woman, Nicole Lynn Carrington, has been charged with felony check forgery for cashing a check in Shakopee that she allegedly obtained by raiding a company’s mail.

In June 2011, a woman reported that some of her mail had been stolen, including checks, from her company in Savage.

The company was missing two checks from companies that said they had mailed them. One had even been cashed.

Later that month, the other check was cashed for $595 at Walmart in Shakopee.

According to a criminal complaint, the check had been altered, so it was no longer payable to the company, but instead to “Nicole L. Carrington.” The check also had Carrington’s driver’s license number written on it and bore her endorsement.

Police obtained surveillance video of Carrington allegedly cashing the check.

A warrant has been issued for Carrington’s arrest.

I The Shakopee Chamber of Commerce has temporarily moved to 1275 Ramsey St., Suite 300 (formerly Riverside Computers) while the Chamber and Visitors Bureau building undergoes renovations at Memorial Park.

Chamber President Angie Whitcomb said the building’s roof had leaked and damaged the ceiling. The Chamber is also replacing outdated lighting fixtures and using this time to repaint and re-carpet the small office building. The front lobby will also be reconfigured to allow for a waiting area for guests.

The Chamber opened its temporary headquarters on Monday. It could be up to a month before employees are back at Memorial Park.

Although the location is different, the phone number is the same.

Whitcomb said the timing was good because Riverside C omputer s ow ner Chuck

Berg was moving his business to a home office. Berg, who does computer work for the Chamber, was also able to help the Chamber move its computer systems.

The Chamber is paying for the renovation through its building fund, Whitcomb said. No contribution is coming from the Visitors Bureau, whose marketing activities are funded by a city lodging tax.

I SS Design, Inc., in Shakopee has announced a new hire. Holly Schmitz will be working in the company’s marketing department.

I Salon Avalon employees believe they should give back.

Stylists at the salon, 1659 17th Ave. E., have decided to donate a portion of their paychecks to help Friends of the Orphans, an orphanage organization with homes across Central and South America, for child sponsorship.

BOARD continued from page 1

“If that was the range, why would someone who was making $90,000 apply for the job?

It just doesn’t make sense,” Chairman Steve Schneider said.

Anderson will also receive a one-time bonus of $5,000 and permission to work from home up to one day a week, perks not included in past district contracts.

Thompson said in speaking with Board Member Chuck Berg, who works in information technology, it was evident the district may have to sweeten the offer to attract higher quality candidates.

Technology is one area in which schools compete against the private sector, Board Member Kathy Busch said. Berg noted both the district’s past two managers left for betterpaying jobs elsewhere.

“It’s not unusual for people with technical skills to be outmaking the people they report to,” Berg said.

Board Member Mary Romansky spoke the strongest against Anderson’s contract.

She questioned why the district would spend so much when there are plenty of similarly qualified candidates on the market.

“We’re not getting the best va lue for the money we’re spending,” she said. (In the work session prior to the meeting, Romansky noted her husband had applied for the position but was not interviewed.)

Romansky also raised issue with allowing Anderson to work from home one day a week. Allowing Anderson to telecommute is unfair to the manager’s employees, who would be responsible for fi xing the network were it to crash on Anderson’s day at home, Romansky said.

Busch, who voted in favor of the contract, also shared reservations about allowing employees to work from home.

She asked whether administ rators cou ld encou rage Anderson to be in the office

as much as possible.

Considering Anderson twice declined the offer, Romansky questioned whether Anderson intended to stay in Shakopee.

“She’s not coming because she wants to be in Shakopee. She’s coming because of the negotiations and getting what she wants,” said Romansky.

Attempting “to read what’s in a person’s heart” is not practical, Berg responded. Canny agreed, saying, “to guess why a person would come or leave before they even started is fruitless.”

The meeting got personal when Romansky said she had never before voted against hiring a particular individual, and that’s how strongly she felt the contract offer was unfair.

“Just wondering if your husband has applied for any other [district] jobs?” Canny asked Romansky.

After asking Canny to repeat the question, Romansky said her husband had applied for other district positions in the past.

Boa rd Member Ca rla Shutrop, who served on the hiring committee, said the district’s willingness to go beyond its typical parameters indicates how strong a candidate Anderson is.

“We have to have a technology manager that understands teaching and learning as well as what’s behind the walls,” Thompson said. “We wanted a rock star, and we went out and found a rock star.”

Anderson will start Dec. 5.

OTHER POSITIONS Shakopee also sought applirider and Sully rode off, said Coleman, who joked about the variety of tasks fi refighters are called to do.

Pate, 46, who is currently residing in Shakopee, was cited for an ordinance violation: riding his horse through

cants for a secondary director of teaching and learning post, but after reviewing the candidates, Thompson reported the hiring committee was not pleased with the pool.

Thompson suggested the board either repost the position in January or consider scrapping the plan and hiring an assistant superintendent instead. While an assistant superintendent would be more expensive, he or she could have added duties, such as K-12 principal evaluation.

District Teaching and Learning Director Jayne Gibson also proposed hiring a diversity and equity coordinator to address the district’s achievement gap among students of color.

Examining the district’s 2011 Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments results, Gibson said it became evident the district has an opportunity gap in that students of color are not taking advantage of the district’s high-potential programs. The coordinator would encourage minority students to pursue more rigorous coursework.

The position would be funded through one-time grant money, Title I and special education dollars, Gibson said.

Board members questioned whether the district could restructure current positions to provide this support through its present offerings.

The board will discuss both issues at its next board meeting.

It did give Thompson the goahead to post for a sixth-grade center principal in January.

The principal would be responsible for Pearson Elementary beginning in fall 2012.

MOTOR SPORTS continued from page 1

MinnesotaSpeedwayPark. com says the facility could accommodate all levels of racing, including NASCAR and other national sanctioned racing bodies.

However, NASCAR has no involvement in the proposal.

“NASCAR only considers a track when the track has been substantially completed and then presents an application for a specific NASCAR-sanctioned event to be held at that facility,” explained NASCAR spokeswoman Rosalie Nestore in an e-mail. “Although NASCAR is hopeful that IMEDC achieves much success in the development of its motor sports facility, any endeavors to develop a motor sports facility in Minnesota must be done without any expectation or reliance that NASCAR will sanction an event at its facility if and when it is completed.”

NASCAR sanctions racing at both Raceway Park in Shakopee and Elko Speedway.

Mike Hellendrung from Raceway Park said he wasn’t aware of the specific proposal for Elko New Market.

The International Motorsports Entertainment Development Co. has not disclosed its partners, but says it is currently composed of professionals in the fi nance industry and the motor sports industry. Funding for this project wi l l be pri ma ri ly from private investment, the company says.

“One in three adults considers themselves race fans,” the company’s website says. “Auto racing is the fastest growing spectator sport and is second only to the NFL in popularity.

IMEDC taps directly into the intense passion of this market with its current plans.”

As the company has tried to lock up land for the proposed development, word has gotten around, Wolf said.

He said he’s gotten calls from people who have questions and concerns, but aren’t necessarily for or against the project.

Wolf, who represents the Elko New Market area, called the project an “interesting proposal” that would change the future of the city if it comes to fruition. He “hopes a lot of people show up” for the Nov. 29 meeting.

An official from Elko Speedway couldn’t be reached. However, when the proposal was drafted in Big Lake, track ow ner Tom Ryan told t he Star Tribune that he was approached to buy shares in the project, but declined.

“I don’t think it’s viable,” Ryan was quoted as saying in 2008. “I don’t know what kind of races they would ever expect to get there. ... I don’t think there is the interest [in this part of the country] to support a racetrack for real hard-core racing.”

The International Motorsports Entertainment Development Co. has not fi led any formal development applications with local governments.

Company CEO Jim Farnum did not respond to an inquiry from the Valley News.

According to a 2008 Star Tribune article, Farnum founded a racing merchandise business called Pro Motorsports in 1991 that grew into a multimilliondollar venture that sponsored racers and had 13 stores in the Midwest.

“Swings in the economy roiled the business, and it eventually fi led for Chapter 7 [liquidation] bankruptcy,” the Star Tribune reported.

Scott County plans to move its library administration into the Hecker building as well.

Deputy County Administrator Lezlie Vermillion estimates the county will save approximately $120,000 per year from not having to rent space for transit operations or space at the Savage Library for library administration.

The cities of Shakopee and Prior Lake have applied for a three-year federal grant to add three express-commute service buses, which they hoped to use to expand their BlueXpress service to the Hecker site.

Matching funds for operating the additional buses would begin flowing in 2015, but the city hopes to start interim service from the Marschall Road site in 2013 using existing fleet.

The state has agreed to fund a ramp from the Hecker site to a Highway 169 ramp, allowing quick access to the freeway.

The cities are evaluating their ability to add express transit service to the former dealership given expected cutbacks in state funding and limits the Met Council has placed on how much funds suburban transit providers can keep in operational reserves.

“We want to be careful not to put something in place that we can’t support after two to three years,” said Shakopee Community Development Director

the federal grant ends in three years (an approximate annual $135,000 cost per coach bus).

In June, the cities bolstered

their reverse commute service from Minneapolis with assistance from a federal grant.

Not only did BlueXpress add more reverse commutes, but it also now drops employees off at Mystic Lake Casino. A bus also stops at Cedar Grove Transit Station in Burnsville, which allows riders to take Minnesota Valley Transit buses elsewhere.

Service to the express transit lot under construction at the new intersection of County Road 21 and Eagle Creek Boulevard in Shakopee is expected to begin next spring. This will displace a current stop at Safe Haven for Youth in Prior Lake.

When no longer useful at the puppy mill they discarded me. I’m a 4-year-old, 10-pound female Maltese. If you get a hold of me and place me on your lap, I’ll stay and enjoy petting. I really like the company of dogs and cats. I sleep in bed with my foster mom. A fenced yard is needed. I don’t understand dog toys or leashes. I’m mostly house-trained. Are you the caring, patient person who will help me blossom?

Are you looking for an easygoing friend for you and your lonely, pet? Playful, friendly Tao would like to apply. He enjoys lap sitting for as long as you let him stay and likes being held up near your shoulder.

Tao’s soft purr can be felt when you give him tummy stroking.

He’s initially shy if he doesn’t know you, but is friendly and affectionate with trusted folks.

He’ll meet you at the door, rub your ankle, and tag along. Date of birth: May 2009.

EVENT S

‘FOOTLOOSE’ When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren isn’t prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher.

25 years ago…

From the Shakopee Valley News, 1986 If you are one of those drivers who doesn’t like to endure bumpy railroad tracks… here’s good news for you…at least some of the crossings in Shakopee may soon be rubberized.

After police officers started aggressively ticketing traffic violators at the intersection of County Roads 42 and 27, Savage Police Chief Gordon Vlasak thought the complaints about traffic snarls would stop…they did. However, the increased patrol brought a new wave of complaints from several violators vehemently protesting their tickets and the accompanying $44 fi nes.

On any given night in the Twin Cities area, about 1,100 people are homeless, a Metropolitan Council committee report estimates. In a year, the report says, about 36,500 people move through the region’s system of shelters and emergency housing or spend time living on the streets.

50 years ago…

From the Shakopee Valley News, 1961 Per J. E. Quest, president of the firm, all operations of the Quest M fg. Co. will be discontinued effective Oct. 31.

The closing of the local fi rm,

PHOTO COURTESY THE ‘SHAKOPEE SCRAPBOOK’

Minnesota Women’s Reformatory built in 1918. an independent corporation, will not affect the operations of the Shakopee Foundry Co., also a Quest-owned fi rm. The manufacturing plant normally employed about 11 people.

The Shakopee Indians were dumped from a four-way tie for first place in the Minnesota Valley Conference race in taking a beating at the hands of the Orono eleven, 25-13. The limping Indians had five fi rst string players on the serious injured list.

“Public Wel fare and the Public” will be the theme of the Region VII conference on the Minnesota Welfare Association to be held at the Millpond Club in Shakopee.

Call for bids on $40,000 coun-

ty jail remodeling…The Scott County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution calling for sealed proposals on the remodeling work and another on equipment needed. Funds were made available through legislative approval to spend the extra money.

100 years ago…

From the Scott County Argus, 1911 I f the reader has a “bad back” or any kidney ill and is looking for relief and cure, better depend on the only remedy endorsed by people you know.

Doan’s Kidney Pills relieve quickly…cure permanently.

Shakopee citizens testify to this.

M.T. Regan, one of Shakopee’s good citizens, is authority for the following statement: “I believe in advertising, and I know that it pays, but you must advertise right and in that connection I want to say, if you have any advertising to do of any character, and want to get results and get them quick, advertise in the Argus.”

Jacob Spring, foreman of the Shakopee lime kiln, while getting stone out of the quarry, about eight feet below the surface of the earth, struck a natural hole about two-feet wide and six-feet long and apparently bottomless, as they have failed to fi nd the bottom as yet.

Local students perform in Ensemble Festival For the 24th consecutive year, the Minnesota River Valley Music Teachers Association hosted one of the Twin Cites sites of the annual statewide Ensemble Festival, sponsored each fall by the Minnesota Music Teachers Association.

The event, held Saturday, Nov. 12 at Normandale Com-

munity College in Bloomington, featured 69 performing ensembles comprising student participants from throughout the Twin Cities area and held in four programs throughout the day.

Performers representing Shakopee teachers Charleen De Gia, Kathleen Philipp and Lee Sim-

Applications for homestead classi fication with Scott County are due on or before Dec. 15. Homestead classification will affect the amount of property taxes paid in 2012 and could affect eligibility for a property tax refund. An application must be fi led if one of the following applies: I You purchased a property in the past year and you, or a qualifying relative, occupy the property for homestead purposes on December 1, 2011.

I You, or a quali fying relative occupy a property for homestead purposes on Dec. 1, 2011, and the property was previously classified as non-homestead.

I A qualifying relative for home ste ad pu r p os e s depends on the type of property. For residential property, a qualifying relative can be a parent, stepparent, child, stepchild, grandparent, g randchild, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece of the owner. This relationship may be by blood or marriage. For agricultural property, a qualifying relative can be a child, grandchild, parent, or sibling of the owner or a child, grandchild, or sibling of the spouse of the owner.

Once homestead classification has been granted, no further applications are necessary unless they are specifically requested by the county assessor.

Applications may be obtained by stopping into Customer Service at the county Government Center or from the county website, www. co.scott.mn.us.

You must also contact the taxation department by Dec. 15 if you are the property owner, or a qualifying relative of the property owner, and the use of the property has changed during the past year.

Those who sell, move or for any reason no longer qualify for the homestead classification are required to notify the county within 3 0 days of the change in homestead status. A form is available in the Taxation Department or on the website to request the homestead be removed from a property for the next assessment. Failure to notify the county assessor within the 30-day period is punishable by recalculation of the tax as non-homestead; in addition, to a penalty equal to 100 percent of the homestead benefits.

SHAKOPEE GIRLS SWIMMING

Nadeau qualifies for state Junior to compete in two events

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

F

or the second year in a row, Shakopee’s Katie Nadeau will compete in the Class 2A state swim meet.

Nadeau is the only Saber girls swimmer to qualify for the state meet after the Sabers swam to a sixth-place fi nish at the Class 2A, Section 6 swim meet on Saturday at Edina Middle School.

Nadeau, a junior, qualified for state in two events – the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly.

“I was really excited,” she said. “I put a lot of work in and I’m glad it paid off.”

Nadeau qualified for the same events last year as a sophomore. She finished in ninth in the 100 fly and 17th in the 200 free.

Her road to state wasn’t easy as she didn’t have the best preliminary times and had to swim great at the fi nals to qualify.

I n the 2 0 0 free, Nadeau failed to make the championship finals when she swam a time of 1 minute, 57.71. She did make the consolation final, which gave her chance to qualify for state.

She swam great as she dominated the race with a time of 1:55.41 to win the consolation final by two seconds. If she had swam in the championship fi nal she would have fi nished fi fth.

That time also qualified her for state by beating the state qualifying standards.

“I took it out fast and hoped I could hold on,” she said. “I was able to and it felt really good.”

In the 100 fly, she made the championship fi nal and swam a 59.3 seconds to qualify for state.

She enters this weekend’s state meet at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center seeded 11th in the 200 free and 17th in the fly.

TEAM As a team the Sabers finished with 110 points to fi nish in si xth in the eight-team section.

Edina won the meet with 523 points.

“The section is incredibly tough,” head coach K at hy Carlson said. “Just to finish in the top 16 is quite an accomplishment.

Besides Nadeau’s two finishes, Shakopee only had two other swimmers fi nish in the top 16.

stroke with a time of 1:11.84.

Alexandra Doebel was 16th in the 500 free with a time of 5:40.74.

Senior Cassie Lindstrom had an interesting section meet.

She swam the 50 free and 100 backstroke and barely missed out on qualifying for the fi nals but eventually got to swim in the fi nals.

Lindstrom tied for 16th place with Hopkins’ Andrea Sanabria in the preliminaries of the 50 free. That forced a swimoff at the end of the meet.

Sanabria edged Lindstrom to qualify for the fi nals.

“She had her best ever time but got beat,” Carlson said.

Then in the backstroke, Lindstrom fi nished 17th to just miss out on the fi nals.

SHAKOPEE GIRLS HOCKEY

No worry about poor start Despite losing first two games, head coach says team playing well

Viny Souvannarath Adapted soccer

Taylor Vaughan Girls swimming

Viny Souvannarath, a junior, plays soccer on the Chaska, Chanhassen, Shakopee and Prior Lake adaptive soccer team. Viny’s main position throughout the season has been defense, but has played offense on a few occasions. This past week he moved up to play forward and scored two goals against South Washing ton in Woodbury, while adding two assists. On Wednesday last week, Viny scored three goals and had a assist against White Bear Lake in a 15-2 win to advance to the state tournament in Stillwater Nov. 18 and 19. Viny has been a great addition to the team this year.

A team player with a great attitude. This is the fi rst year of soccer for our four defensive players and all of them have grown together as players and are adapting quickly to a hard position to play. The Southern Stars (as the team is known) will play Mounds View at 8 p.m. at Stillwater High School on Friday. His parents are Eric and Marisa Souvannarath.

Taylor, a junior, has consistently dropped time in the 100 breaststroke and 200 individual medley as she fi nished the season at both the conference and section meet. She placed 17th in the 100 breaststroke at the section meet, just missing the consolation finals. She also fi nished 19th in the 200 IM. At the conference meet, she placed fi fth in the breaststroke and ninth in the IM. Taylor has been a great leader, consistently placing in both events throughout the season.

The honor roll student’s other activities include soccer. Her parents are Brian and Lois Vaughan.

Honorees are selected by “The Committee” in the Shakopee High School Activities Department.

Despite starting the season 0-2, head coach Matt Klein isn’t worried about the Shakopee girls hockey team.

The Sabers opened the season with a 4-2 loss against East Ridge and a 5-3 loss to Apple Valley.

“It’s not the start we wanted,” Klein said. “We haven’t played poorly by any means.

There are a lot of positives that took place. It just didn’t happen on the scoreboard.

Things are better than they seem.”

In both games, the team’s downfall has been the start of games.

Shakopee has been out-

scored 4-0 in the fi rst period in the two games, including falling behind 3-0 to Apple Valley in the fi rst.

“For some reason, we come out tentative,” K lein said.

“The fi rst period has been our downfall.”

In the game at Apple Valley on Saturday, the Eagles scored three goals in fi rst nine minutes of the game.

Those three goals came four minutes apart with two of them coming while the Sabers were on the power play.

Apple Valley made it 4-0 with a goal at 8:46 of the second period.

T h at ’s when S h a kop e e picked up its game.

Amy Menke scored twice in 28 seconds in the second

period to cut the lead to 4-2.

In the third, Abbey Leff ler scored an unassisted power-play goal to cut the lead to 4-3.

Shakopee couldn’t get the tying goal and fell to 0-2.

Amber Flood stopped 38 of the 43 shots she saw on net.

In the season opener, East Ridge scored three third-period goals to beat the Sabers 4-2 at Shakopee Ice Arena last Thursday night.

The game was tied at 1-1 at the end of the second period and again at 2-2 with five minutes left in the game.

East Ridge took a 3-2 lead with a power-play goal at 12:47 and then iced the game with an empty-net goal.

Both Shakopee goals were scored by Lauren Hespenheide.

Karynn Adams stopped 28 shots.

More than 2,000 people attended the Oct. 1 marathon, which featured new games created by middle school students, silent auction and more. Funds raised through the marathon support the school’s general operating budget.

tudents at Sun Path Elementary had an important assignment to complete before leaving for fall break. They had to read for a total of 120 minutes as part of the school’s fifth annual PTO-sponsored Read-a-Thon Oct. 18.

The nearly 800 students raised $27,800 to exceed the original goal of $25,000.

The money will be used to fund educational tools for

the classrooms, family fun events, staff appreciation events and other programs that benefit students’ academic experience.

The top two pledge earners each won a Kindle. Students who raised $120 or more were entered into a drawing to win an American Girl doll, a signed Taylor Swift CD, Twins baseball hats, games, dinner coupons and other

prizes. All students who participated, regardless of donation level, received a bracelet. The top three pledge-earning classes in the school received funds for their classrooms.

The annual Read-aThon promotes reading and 100 percent of the money raised goes directly to the school. This year’s theme was “Discover the Treasure in a Book.”

hakopee High School celebrated its rich diversity in honor of National Mix It Up Day Oct. 26 through discussions and activities coordinated and hosted by the school’s student group, Leaders in Education and Diversity (LEAD).

All students watched a video LEAD created about stereotypes in their homerooms, followed by an activity wherein students had to think about the stereotypes they and others may have

about certain people.

During lunch, LEAD hosted a celebration that included a language lab wherein students must learn a different phrase in five different languages, games of musical chairs to music from around the world and a photo wall with props from other countries.

Mix It Up Day is a national campaign launched by Teaching Tolerance a decade ago. It encourages students to identify, question and cross social boundaries.

Bowling for a good time An estimated 60 students from Shakopee High School and Shakopee Junior High School volunteered at the annual Area 9 Special Olympics Bowling Tournament at Louisville Lanes Oct. 1.

Area fire departments get grants

DISTRICT COURT

The Minnesota Board of Firefighter Training and Education (MBFTE) has notified Minnesota’s 790 fire departments of their 2012 training reimbursement grants. The statewide grant total exceeds $2 million.

The Shakopee Fire Department will receive $ 4,379.55.

The amounts for other area departments include $4,175.85 for Prior Lake, $ 3,972.15 for Savage, $4,175.85 for the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community, and $3,462.90 for Jordan.

“These grants benefit the public safety of all Minnesotans,” said Bruce West, executive director of MBFTE. “Assuring annual firefighter training is good for departments and their communities.

Skill updating makes fi refighters better responders and keeps them safer, as well.”

The Fire Safety Account was created by the Minnesota Legislature in 2006. It is funded by a fi re-safety surcharge on all homeowner and certain commercial insurance policies in Minnesota. The Fire Safety

The following are Scott County District Court felony and gross-misdemeanor dispositions. Defendants either pleaded guilty or were found guilty by the court unless otherwise indicated.

Thomas J. Holme, 48, Shakopee, driving while intoxicated (refusal to submit to test), a gross-misdemeanor.

Two years’ probation, 40 days in jail, 80 days under electronic homemonitoring, abstain from alcohol, random tests, $1,010 in fines.

Jennifer Ann Mitchell, 37, Rosemount, DWI, a gross-misdemeanor.

Two years’ probation, two days in jail, 28 days under electronic homemonitoring, follow recommendations of evaluation, $610 in fines.

Bradley Scott Christiansen, 21, Belle Plaine, third-degree burglary, a felony. Five years’ probation, 45 days in jail, 40 hours of community service, provide DNA sample, abstain from alcohol, random tests, restitution, $210 in fines. Third-degree burglary, a felony. Same sentence, served concurrently.

Dennis Walter Hansen, 43, Le Sueur, DWI, a gross-misdemeanor. Two years’ probation, three days in jail, 27 days of community service, follow recommendations of evaluation, abstain from alcohol, random tests, $610 in fines.

Harry Maddox III, 54, Columbia Heights, check forgery, a felony. Serve 13 months in prison, provide DNA sample, restitution, $160 in fines.

Adam Thomas Smith, 24, Montgomery, DWI, a gross-misdemeanor.

Three years’ probation, 90 days in jail, abstain from alcohol, random tests, $610 in fines. False name to police

Advisory Committee makes recommendations to the commissioner of the state Department of Public Safety on use of the funding.

Steve Flaherty, Grand Rapids fire chief and director of Mesabi Range Community and Technical College (MRCTC) Fire Training Program, said that many departments are using this money for basic fi refighter training. Others are able to reinforce basic skills with Firefighter II, auto extrication, water rescue and other high-level classes.

Grants must be claimed through a reimbursement process by June 3 0, 2 012. The amount of each grant is based on two factors — the amount of money allocated to MBFTE

by Minnesota’s Fire Safety Account and the number of firefighters in each department.

This year, the per-fi refi ghter rate is $101.85.

The allotment process helps eliminate the training budget disparity between larger, better-funded departments and those in cities and towns with smaller budgets, notes West.
