Alaskan retreat
Full-time day crews proposed

T
he trek from Minnesota to Alaska takes three days (nonstop) by road and more than eight hours by air. It is not just a hop, skip and jump. But the trail has been well trod by Lower 48ers looking for adventure on the last frontier. Living in Alaska, however, requires more than just an appreciation for its natural wonder. It requires an independent spirit that leads some, including a handful of Shakopee natives, never to want to leave. “Alaska is not for everyone — fortunately,� said Alaska transplant Mike Koskovich said. “I kind of like it like that.�

Shakopee’s growth is finally catching up to its Fire Department. And it’s going to be expensive. With call loads increasing, but fi refighter response falling during the workday, the Shakopee Fire Department had hoped daytime duty crews would be the answer. But a state limitation on the number of hours that voluntary firefighters can work has put a kink in that plan, and Shakopee Fire Chief Rick Coleman now doesn’t think he’ll have enough manpower to field daytime crews.
The best answer Coleman sees is to hire four full-time f i r e f i g ht e r s fo r weekday hours. “We’d be out the door in 80 seconds,� he said. “The response time would be four to five minRick utes for the averColeman age resident.� A lthough this would cost more than $230,000 per year, it might allow the city to delay or downsize construction of a third

Counties eye 911 dispatch merger BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com
Emergency dispatchers in Scott County could be taking 911 calls from residents in Carver County — or vice versa — in the future under a merger being considered by the neighboring counties. Supervisors from the two sheriff’s offices met with commissioners from each county Tuesday in Chaska to share steps they are taking to learn what it would take — and how much they could save — by melding the two counties’ 911 dispatch services. It’s too early for defi nitive costsaving figures, but Carver County
Commissioner Randy Maluchnik said following the meeting that he’s hopeful the counties could save up to a half-million dollars per year if they consolidate. “Three to six people on duty, 24/7, that could be a lot of potential savings,� said Scott County Board Chair Tom Wolf. Last year, the counties of Carver, Sibley, McLeod and Carver completed a $125,000 state-funded consolidation study of their dispatching services. Sibley and McLeod were content with their current situation, Scott County Sheriff Kevin Studnicka

A natural horsewoman Shakopee teen is a Canadian champ BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com
Kelly Svoboda is only 17 years old but she already has a leg up on the competition — and a trophy to prove it. The Shakopee equestrian is a Canadian national champion after earning the top spot in her class. Svoboda, a Shakopee High School senior and daughter of David Svoboda and Melanie Hanson, has been competing in horse shows since she was 12. She
rides Arabians, which she calls the “original horse.� “They can work really hard for a long, long time,� Svoboda said. “They have a lot of energy.� Good thing, too. Svoboda, who trains twice a week at Hesten Park in Hastings, has competed at regional and national shows across the United States and Canada this summer. At the Youth National Arabian and Half Arabian Championship Horse Show in New Mexico in July, Svoboda faced “the best of best� youth competition from across the country, scoring her first top-10 showing at the national level. Svoboda competes in Country English Pleasure, a saddle-seat-
style of riding that emphasizes the horse’s manners. The rider walks, trots and canters his or her horse at different speeds while judges look at the horse’s upright, steady head and leg height. The intent is to show the horse is a pleasure to ride, according to the Arabian Horse Association website. Hesten Park owner Larry Hoffman called Svoboda “a good thinker,� who can easily translate instructions into action. At 5-foot-9, she’s also a little tall for her horse, but at Youth Nationals, she kept her riding smooth and the top10 finish gave her a big boost of confidence.

CAP seeks help distributing toys
A tasting event featuring holiday themed samples, prize giveaways, and a garland making workshop. Special deli menu and store wide savings, December 3rd only.
The Scott Carver Dakota Community Action Partnership (CAP) Agency is looking for help in its annual holidaygiving programs. The agency is seeking sponsors to host toy drives. Toy distribution sponsors can include businesses, organizations, churches and individuals. The sponsors are responsible for holding a toy drive on the Scott Carver Dakota CAP Agency’s behalf and ensuring that all toys are delivered to the agency no later than Friday, Dec. 16. Collected toys should not be gift-wrapped and should have a value of at least $15. This program differs from the agency’s Hope for the Holidays program in that a sponsor gathers toys to be distributed to the greater community instead of being paired directly with a family. The toys are distributed to children through age 14 living in Scott and Carver counties. Those interested in sponsoring a family can e-mail info@capagency.org or call (952) 402- 9856. Information about the toy distribution program is also available on the Scott Carver Dakota CAP Agency’s website at www. capagency.org.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS
Boy, 14, struck by SUV, critically hurt
Charges: Woman used false name in court
A 14-year old Prior Lake boy who was struck by an SUV on Highway 13 Monday morning remains in critical condition, his mother said Tuesday afternoon. Seth Ratliff, a freshman at Prior Lake High School, was crossing Highway 13 near Oakland Beach Avenue on his bike at 7:50 a.m. when he was hit by an SUV traveling south. Ratliff was airlifted to Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, where he remains in the intensive-care unit. The driver of the SUV, Janice Miller, 76, of Prior Lake, suffered no apparent injuries, according to the State Patrol. The boy was wearing a bike helmet, according to the patrol. The State Patrol is investigating the crash. Alcohol was apparently not a factor in the crash, said the patrol.
A Rochester woman is in a heap of more trouble after allegedly entering guilty plea to a drug charge using the name of a Wisconsin woman. Courtney Jean Petersen, 26, allegedly had a second identity of Kelsey Lynn Rykal, and used the alias during her arrest in Prior Lake, booking and plea for a fi fth-degree controlled substance crime. She allegedly obtained Rykal’s Wisconsin driver’s license from a friend of the Wisconsin woman. After her release from Scott County Jail, Petersen failed to report to Scott County Community Corrections for probation. An arrest warrant for her was issued in the name of Rykal, which has subsequently been recalled. Peterson allegedly told a Scott County sheriff’s detective she used the false name because she was afraid of getting more charges and because she had outstanding warrants in other counties. Peterson faces three charges — ranging from misdemeanor contempt of court to felony perjury — in Scott County District Court. She is in the Douglas County Jail awaiting sentencing on three counts of second-degree burglary there. Shannon Fiecke
Man tells police he shot at stepbrother Shots rang out at a Market Street home last week after an argument between stepbrothers, but it’s not the stepbrother with the gun that’s in trouble. Chaz Lee Mankowski called police at 10:17 a.m. Nov. 14 to report that he had fi red a shot (and missed) at his stepbrother Troy Kenneth Ware, who tried to break into his residence. Ware, 24, had threatened to kill him, Mankowski said. He yelled at Ware to leave or he would be shot, but said Ware still tried to force the door open approximately five times. Mankowski said he fi red the shot so the bullet would strike the decorative rocks outside the house. He said he could see Ware from his surveillance system. He feared for his life because Ware had been in prison in the past, Mankowski said, and he doesn’t trust him. He told officers Ware was mad about a family matter that occurred two weeks earlier. The front door was damaged from the gunshot. A long crack went through the lock plate and an apparent bullet pierced the wall near the door. The bullet did not exit the wall. A Ruger handgun and spent casing was recovered from the home. According to the criminal complaint, Ware began texting Mankowski after Ware’s father spoke angrily to Mankowski about an incident that occurred two weeks prior. Mankowski said his stepfather told him he would have beat him had he been there. Mankowski said Ware then drove to his home and yelled for him to come outside. After Mankowski fi red the shot, Ware left, but continued to text him. In a phone interview with police afterward, Ware spoke of an ongoing family argument and admitted trying to kick in the front door of the residence, according to a criminal complaint fi led against him. Ware, who had lived at his stepbrother’s home when he was released from prison six months earlier, said he had been receiving text messages from Mankowski and went to the house to tell him to “shut the **** up.” Ware told police he would not have assaulted his stepbrother if he made it through the front door, and couldn’t recall a gun being involved. Ware said he would turn himself in, but was picked up by police the following day while driving his Hummer through town. Ware, who lists an address on Tinta Lane in Shakopee, has been charged in Scott County District Court with felony fi rstdegree burglary and terrorist threats, gross-misdemeanor domestic assault and fourth-degree damage to property. He has multiple convictions on his record: fi fth-degree assault (2005), third-degree burglary (2006), theft by swindle (2006), second-degree burglary (2008), and possession of burglary tools (2008).

Man, 22, facing drug, weapon charges A man from Burnsville could be facing substantial prison time after Savage police allegedly found heroin, cocaine, marijuana and an unregistered shotgun in his truck on Nov. 6. Tyler Michael Howie Ross, 22, is charged with third- and fi fthdegree drug possession, both felonies, as well as illegal weapon possession and driving after revocation. According to the court complaint, an officer was responding to a residential burglary alarm in the 8600 block of Carriage Hill Court in Savage, which is a cul-de-sac, when he saw Ross’ black Dodge Ram parked diagonally at a stop sign. The officer noted that Ross “was in a position to watch the houses in the cul-desac.” When another squad car arrived, Ross turned right into the cul-de-sac at which point he was pulled over. When the officer approached Ross’ truck, he detected an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Ross initially denied having marijuana in the vehicle before admitting to having a “little bag” on him. The officer learned Ross was driving on a suspended license and arrested him, and the truck was taken to the impound lot. While performing a routine inventory search of the vehicle, police found a pink balloon containing 3.8 grams of a hard, brown substance that later tested positive for heroin, a clear vile with a white, powdery substance that tested positive for cocaine, a clear plastic bag with 1.5 grams of marijuana, two hypodermic needles with blood inside and a Browning double-barrel shotgun. Ross admitted to police that all the items in the car belonged to him. Because Ross was convicted of fi fth-degree drug possession in 2009, he is facing a mandatory minimum two-year sentence for the third-degree drug possession charge and a mandatory minimum six month sentence for the fi fth-degree drug possession charge.

Impaired-driving enforcement increases Local law enforcement agencies in Scott County will increase patrols for impaired driving as part of a statewide campaign in December. Participating will be police from the cities of Shakopee, Prior Lake, Savage, Jordan, Belle Plaine and New Prague, and the Scott County Sheriff’s Office. During Minnesota Decembers from 2008-2010, there were 89 traffic deaths and 24 were alcohol-related. Pat Minelli
Shakopee woman sentenced in U.S. court for fraud MINNEAPOLIS – The last of four Minnesotans — including a Shakopee woman — was sentenced Nov. 23 for operating an identity theft ring involving the creation of fraudulent identification cards and checks that were eventually cashed at businesses and banks in three states. U.S. District Court Judge Donovan W. Frank sentenced Malinda Ann Shaw, 26, of Fergus Falls, to 24 months in prison on one count of bank fraud conspiracy, two counts of bank fraud, one count of identity theft, and two counts of aggravated identity theft. Shaw, who was indicted along with three co-defendants on June 8, 2010, pleaded guilty on Oct. 28, 2010. On June 9 this year, Christopher Englin, 29, of Detroit Lakes, was sentenced to 30 months on one count of bank fraud conspiracy, two counts of bank fraud, one count of identity theft, and two counts of aggravated identity theft. He pleaded guilty on Nov. 3, 2010. On June 8, Frank sentenced Nadean Hope Rans, 36, of Shakopee, to 32 months on one count of bank fraud conspiracy, one count of possession of docu ment-ma ki ng implements, and one count of identity theft. She pleaded guilty on Oct. 24, 2010. On May 4, Frank sentenced Melissa Mae Oquin, age 33, of Minneapolis, to 21 months on one count of bank fraud conspiracy. She pleaded guilty on Oct. 29, 2010. In addition, all four defendants were ordered to pay $17,919.27 in joint restitution. In their plea agreements, the defendants admitted that from Sept. 1, 2007, through April 30, 2008, they executed a scheme that involved stealing personal information from between 10 and 50 victims and using that information to manufacture false identification cards and fraudulent
checks. Those items were then used at various locations in Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin to obtain cash. Englin and Shaw admitted they stole mail from victims and used the personal information obtained from that mail to make the false identification material. They also admitted using laptop computers, printers, scanners, check stock paper, and memory cards to produce the false identification cards and checks. Specifically, the fraudulent material was used to steal $120.94 from an account at Union State Bank on Oct. 25, 2007, and $455.08 from an account at Wells Fargo Bank on Feb. 8, 2008. Shaw also admitted renting a U-Haul truck on Jan. 9, 2008, for the purpose of transporting from Fergus Falls to Minneapolis personal property purchased with the false identification and fraudulent checks. Those items were traded for illegal drugs and other items that were shared with the co-conspirators. Eventually, the truck was abandoned and discovered by law enforcement on Jan. 22, 2008. Inside the truck, officers found pieces of personal and fi nancial information regarding victims of the scam along with a computer and paperwork belonging to Shaw and Englin. The computer contained check writing software, g raphics of identi fication documents, and bank checks, as well as e-mails between Oquin and Shaw. On Feb. 9, 2008, Shaw and Englin were arrested after attempting to flee police following a traffic stop. They were driving a vehicle owned by Rans. Inside the vehicle, police seized false identifications, check stock paper, and checks in the names of various victims of the scam. On March 5, 2008, law en-

Home for the Holidays is often an eye opener for adult children As the holidays approach many of us are making plans to celebrate with those we love. For many, the holidays are a time to visit and reconnect with family we may not see throughout the year. For many, going “home for the holidays” is an event that is anticipated all year long. Adult children return home expecting to taste Grandma’s homemade cookies or to experience Mom and Dad’s beautifully decorated home. For some adult children their visit home may yield some surprises. They discover Grandma’s refrigerator is empty, except for a few items that expired a month ago, and she has not made her homemade cookies. She has also lost a great deal of weight. You ¿nd Mom and Dad’s home ¿lled with clutter, piles of old newspapers and a month’s worth of unopened mail. Suddenly your holiday season takes on a whole new meaning and brings with it questions and concerns. How did this happen? Are they safe living on their own? Should they continue to drive? Is she safe using the stove? Will he remember to bathe? Can they maintain their house? Will they remember to take their medications? As Americans age, some will face problems with their cognition or thinking. Cognition involves a number of skills, including memory, orientation, judgment, problem recognition/solving, decision-making, attention, sequencing, and frustration tolerance. “Often problems in these areas are not noticed by family until a crisis arises such as a fall or a hospitalization” states Theresa Klein, Occupational Therapist and Dementia Consultant for Augustana Emerald Crest Assisted Living. Often an aging relative may notice problems or changes in themselves but do not want their family members to know. Suddenly adult children are forced to make decisions about their loved one’s ¿nances, health, safety, and appropriateness of the current living
environment. When a family is faced with these questions they often feel overwhelmed, alone, and unsure of available resources. Families are often reluctant to “pry”. They do not want to “offend” their loved one by suggesting they need assistance. So, they take notice of the situation and continue to check-in and evaluate. “I see families that leave it to fate. Mother or father are left at home until something drastic happens which forces an immediate decision”, states Christine Drasher, Director of Admissions Augustana Emerald Crest. Other families will make their best guess and hope the level of assistance put in place is adequate. “It does not have to be a guessing game. Families don’t have to wait for a crisis to make a decision. There are signs and “red Àags” that can be recognized
to be able to make the right choice,” states Theresa Klein. One resource that can be assist families in identifying “red Àags” is an Occupational Therapist. By engaging individuals in several predetermined activities the therapist is able to make an assessment of the individual’s cognition, identifying the individual’s current abilities as well as existing de¿cits. Once determined, the therapist can interpret the meaning of the results to the family and caregivers providing them with strategies for care, ideas how they can intervene, i.e. how to compensate for the skills their loved one no longer has, and offers recommendations for appropriate level of supervision to assure safety” states Klein. Klein observes that with information provided by the Occupational Therapists, “families often report an
increased sense of con¿dence and feel more equipped to Home for the Holidays is often an eye opener for adult children make informed decisions regarding the health and safety of their loved ones.” “The holidays are a huge eye opener for many adult children,” comments Drasher. “Our phone is the busiest in January after adult children recognize from their visit that their loved one is declining. If families knew there was a way to predict and get accurate strategies to meet their frail loved one’s needs I believe they would feel more con¿dent in their decisions and avoid crisis.” If you are interested in learning more about Dementia Resources or Augustana Emerald Crest call Christine at 952-9082215.

commentary EDITORIAL
Minnesota needs more teeth in its bullying law Last week, the Valley News ran a story on Shakopee Middle School’s annual “Courage Retreats,” led by Youth Frontiers, a nonprofit organization, which challenges students to be themselves and stand up to bullying in their schools. Kudos to the school for offering the annual program, which is of vital importance these days. Bullying is a major problem in schools across the country, and more and more states are doing something about it. Unfortunately, in Minnesota, reports of bullying and resulting teen suicides occur too often. A study by the Minnesota Departments of Health and Education shows that 13 percent of state sixth-, ninth- and 12th- graders are bullied regularly (once a week or more). This means that over 100,000 students report being bullied at least once a week. Ef forts to combat it are made more difficult due to the fact that Minnesota has a relatively short, generally worded law that lacks teeth. The Minnesota law just requires school districts to adopt a written policy prohibiting bullying, without specifying standards or reporting requirements. Last week, Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson encouraged the Minnesota Legislature to enact a bill to address school bullying that is patterned after one passed in North Dakota earlier this year. “No child should be afraid to go to school because of bullying. While policies and reporting cannot stop all bullying, they can set a strong tone and school culture against it,” said Swanson. According to Swanson, the North Dakota legislation has been given an
“A++” rating by the national website www.bullypolice.org. Minnesota’s bullying law has been given a grade of “C-” by the same website, which is the lowest ranking of any state with the exception of three states that have no laws, Swanson said. Under North Dakota’s new law, school districts would be required to adopt an anti-bullying policy by Jan. 1, 2013. It requires bullying incidents to be reported and investigated. It will also: I Prohibit students from engaging in bullying or in reprisal or retaliation against bullying victims or those who report bullying. I Establish procedures for immediate reporting of alleged acts of bullying or bullying-related retaliation. I Establish procedures for schools to follow in investigating reports of alleged bullying or retaliation. I Establish disciplinary measures applicable to those who engage in bullying or bullying-related retaliation, including graduated consequences for such behavior. I Require law enforcement to be notified if an investigation results in a reasonable suspicion that a crime may have occurred. I Establish strategies to protect bullying victims. I Establish bullying prevention programs for all K-12 students. We’re not sure that Minnesota should adopt North Dakota’s antibullying law, but we agree that this state’s law needs more details and teeth. As Swanson points out, antibullying efforts work. Both the government website www.stopbullying. gov and the group Fight Crime: Invest In Kids report that school initiatives to prevent and stop bullying can reduce bullying by up to 50 percent.
Make shopping fun Shopping used to be fun — before I became a mom and started to put things like dog food and toilet bowl cleaner in my cart. When you are buying the likes of bleach and coffee filters and have a list as long as Santa’s beard, shopping feels more like a chore than an event. What if we could change that? What if you could go to the store without a list because you didn’t have anything to buy? What if you were there just to have fun? What sort of silly trouble could you get yourself into? Let’s see. (Disclaimer: Please note that while none of these activities hurts or injures another person, I don’t advocate actually engaging in them because adults should not be allowed to have such silly fun. While I wouldn’t carry out any of the ideas listed, I do get a jingle thinking about them. I guess you could say I have a youthful sense of humor.) Forget about Black Friday. Instead create your own Wacky Wednesday at the superstore. Imagine all the fun things you could do if you went shopping and had nothing you needed to buy: For instance, you could ask to see the manager and request free tax advice. Find the outdoor furniture section and take a nap on a hammock. Go through the checkout line with one pack of gum. When it comes time to pay, ask for the employee discount. Try to return yesterday’s newspaper on the grounds that it is outdated. What at a craft or fabric store, carry a skein of yarn to the measuring table and tell the clerk you’d like a yard and a half. Move a small table from the furniture section. Set it up in the cracker aisle and offer free samples. Take a bunch of DVDs to the register and tell the cashier you want to rent them. Ask if you can sample the toilet paper.

PERTLER SLICES OF LIFE
Approach random shoppers, asking for their autograph. Take advantage of a buy-one-getone free offer and then attempt to return the “buy-one” item. Go to one of those dollar stores and continually approach the clerk with different items. Each time ask, “How much is this?” Leisurely stroll through the grocery aisles, stopping to tell people that you are allergic to various items in their carts. For added effect, show them your EpiPen.

Pay attention: Slow and steady to win the races A couple weeks ago I was at my desk checking on the state of the world when I got sidetracked by a story titled, “Walking Through Doorways Causes Forgetting, New Research Shows.” That kind of fragmented title has me asking: “Forgetting what?” But, I guess that’s the problem. They don’t know because they forgot. Susan Guibert of the Notre Dame News reported on a study conducted by Gabriel Radvansky, a psychology professor there. She writes: “We’ve all experienced it: The frustration of entering a room and forgetting what we were going to do. Or get. Or find.” According to Professor Radvansky, this is because doorways are the culprit. “Entering or exiting through a doorway serves as an ‘event boundary’ in the mind, which separates episodes of activity and files them away.” Radvansky concludes that walking through a doorway triggers lapses in memory. I would submit that there is an exception to his conclusion: bathroom doorways, because once the decision to enter that room has been made there can be no turning back. The forgettable reseach study included only college students, presumably all in their late teens and early-20s. If college students have memory issues now they are going be in big trouble when they are older and have more to forget.

What are they teaching these kids? Perhaps some memorization exercises are in order. I think Notre Dame’s absentminded professor should have expanded his research beyond that of walking through doorways and studied other causes for sudden memory loss. Walking smack into a door, for instance, will suddenly dislodge everything from your mind other than the pain you are experiencing. Getting interrupted while talking can make a person forget what they were going to say. It’s easy to get distracted, especially if you’re easily distracted. Look at this, listen to that, go there, come here (“just a minute”); the diversions never seem to stop. We are beset with dozens of things that demand our attention. If I’m not careful I can get so lost in a song on the radio or a conversation with a passenger
Giving without expectation When I arrived at the shelter Tuesday evening, several other volunteers were already scurrying around, placing sleeping mats on the floor, cooking dinner and folding blankets for the people who would arrive in less than an hour. For the second season, the lower level of a Minneapolis church is offering shelter to 50 homeless men and women — the “guests” — throughout winter and into spring. Groups volunteer each night to prepare meals for the guests, and a homeless advocate is on staff to oversee the overnight operation. Last year, when the shelter first opened, my best friend and I wound up coordinating all of the volunteers and meal groups — lack of funding didn’t allow for a paid volunteer coordinator. We thoroughly exhausted ourselves as we juggled full-time jobs, night classes and family. This year, a full-time coordinator was hired, and we’ve shifted our focus to a more intentional approach of spending time with the guests to help them find resources. My personal focus is on listening to the guests rather than trying to fix them. Too quickly, the wheels churn in my head
that I can sit through all three colors at a stoplight. Writers can often get sidetracked from where they started to where they want to be — sometimes even between paragraphs. Often when I sit down to write, I start with one idea and find myself pulled along by another. It’s known as chasing or going down a rabbit trail. Rabbits seldom stay on the straight and narrow. They hop from here to there, stopping only momentarily before they start off in another direction. Their trails are hard to follow, and they often seem to be headed nowhere in particular. Rabbits are very fleet-footed; lucky for them as they have no natural defenses. But for all their hopping around, rabbits have very little to think about: eating, staying alive, and keeping up their reputation of going forth and multiplying. As Emerson said: “All the thoughts of a turtle are turtles, and of a rabbit, rabbits.” Cousins of the turtle and rabbits are the tortoise and the hare, which were made famous in one of Aesop’s fables. The moral of that fable is that you should concentrate on what you’re doing and don’t be distracted, for slow and steady wins the race. Now where was I?

and I imagine a list of tasks that could be completed to help each guest expeditiously overcome homelessness. But it’s more complicated than that. Some of the guests suffer from severe mental illness and don’t have access to the care and medications they need. Some guests have alcohol and substance-abuse addictions, and life on the streets has only exacerbated their problems. Many of the guests have jobs and some work full-time, but their wages aren’t enough to afford permanent housing. And increasingly, many guests are homeless for the first

CITY BRIEFS
City to cut back on winter trail plowing With little use of some sidewalks during winter and approximately 70 miles of sidewalks and trails to maintain, city employees wi l l not be plowing segments of trail along county roads 83, 21, 18 and 16 this winter. The Shakopee City Council approved a proposed reduced snow-plow map, with one exception. Councilor Pamela Punt requested the northern side of trail be kept open on County Road 21 between both ends of Southbridge Parkway to allow for a complete loop through the Southbridge area. In summary: I Trail along both sides of Canterbury Road between Eagle Creek Boulevard and County Road 42 will not be plowed. A short trail on the north side of Eagle Creek Boulevard, east of Canterbury Road, will also be skipped. I On the eastern end of town, both sides of trail on the new County Road 21 south of Eagle Creek Boulevard will not be plowed, and only one side will be plowed north of Eagle Creek Boulevard. Also, the trail along Eagle Creek Boulevard be-
Update on proposed First Ave. trailhead It appears land being considered for donation to the state Department of Natural Resources for a trailhead may be donated to the city instead. The DNR was considering acquiring a vacant three-acre parcel between Valley Haven Mobile Home Park and Travelodge Hotel so it won’t have to replace a $250,000 pedestrian bridge across Mill Creek at Memorial Park when the Minnesota Valley State Trail is extended east along County Road 101. It also wanted to relocate a portion of the state trail across from Memorial Park to First Avenue to get it out of the flood bottoms. Shakopee city councilors didn’t like the idea of snowmobilers traveling along First Avenue, however. The River Valley Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club also prefers the snowmobile trail stay on its existing alignment. Although structurally sound, the trail bridge doesn’t meet DNR specifications for a state trail. The estimated cost of replacing it is $250,000. To avoid having to replace the trail bridge, the city is talking with Scott County about moving the snowmobile trail to the east on an existing land crossing. If snowmobilers cross there, it would avoid further damage to the trail bridge. The Scott County Soil and Water Conservation District and Three Rivers Park District have to agree to move the crossing. The city would like to acquire the three-acre parcel next to Travelodge for possible economic development oppor-
tunities. It would also still allow for an extension of the state trail. “From the city’s standpoint, we believe that the three acres have a potential for economic development — it is near a busy intersection, adjacent to a recently reconstructed roadway, and utilities are available,” wrote City Administrator Mark McNeill in a staff memo. “We know that the site has had development interest in the past.” The landowners have no preference whether the property goes to the city or the DNR. They would just like the donation made this tax year, if possible.
construction would also likely face a public protest. This leaves the city with limited options, which include installing an underground facility, routing the power line from the west side of Memorial Park (which would be much longer and not aesthetically pleasant) and alternatives like solar panels and an energy storage system capable of serving security lights and a number of outlets for cooking and entertainment equipment. The city is researching the feasibility and cost for an underground facility. An overhead line would cost $13,300.

The power has been shut off early to the east park shelter in Memorial Park due to damage to an overhead pole line, but the city is having difficulty finding a place to run a new line. The existing power line runs through the Landing, on land formerly owned by the city. Not only does the city not have an easement for the existing facility, but the damaged pole is in an area that is difficult to access and requires extensive tree trimming. In addition, Three Rivers Park District has a master plan for the site that conf licts with having an overheard facility there. Three Rivers would allow the city to reroute the overhead line along the common property line and an existing trail, but that plan has run into complications and opposition from state and tribal representatives. Due to the location of Native American burial mounds, a state archeologist reviewed the area and found bone fragments, which are too small to ascertain whether they are of human origin. A meeti ng of st a f f from Three Rivers, the state archeologist office and Minnesota Indian Affairs Council concluded that a new overheard power line in that area would be too disruptive, physically and visually. An official with the Indian council was certain

The Shakopee Public Utilities Commission is considering a proposal to increase electric rates by 6 percent next year for residential and commercial customers and by 3.8 percent for industrial customers. This is due to renewable energy mandates and price volatilities in the market, as well as the cost of compliance with a mandatory energy conservation program, according to utilities Manager John Crooks. The mandate over time has caused sales to decrease. Meanwhile, there’s been little growth in Shakopee. The commission is also considering a 10 percent increase in water rates (19 cents per 1,000 gallon), which would be offset by a 47-percent decrease in the water main reconstruction fund fee (24 cents per 1,000 gallon).
tween County Road 21 and Pike Lake Road will be skipped. The eastern segment of trail along County Road 18 between Crossings Boulevard and the County Road 21 intersection will not be plowed, either. The city of Prior Lake will not be plowing trail segments along county roads 83 and 21. The Shakopee Public Works Department reported difficulty trying to manage seven plow routes of sidewalk and trail with existing resources.

SHAKOPEE SCHOOL BOARD
School Board to select board appointee The Shakopee School Board was expected to choose a candidate to fi ll a board vacancy Wednesday night, after this edition of the Valley News went to press. The board was to interview three candidates Wednesday evening — Jeremy Casper, Bill Mars and Scott Swanson. The candidates will fi ll a seat left by the resignation of Tony Bonsante through December 2013. Check out shakopeenews.com Thursday to see which candidate was selected.
Board OKs $2.75 million in energy projects The Shakopee School Board is going ahead with a multimillion-dollar project it hopes will improve energy efficiency in its buildings and save the district money in the long run. The School Board approved a proposal from McKinstry Monday to contract with the energy and facilities services fi rm for facilities improvements. The district has not yet selected any particular projects. Mike Piper of McKinstry presented the board with a list of 65 energy savings projects, a third of which are not recommended since the savings benefit does not outweigh the cost. The proposed projects tally $2.85 million, but with rebates, the total cost of facility improvements would be about $2.75 million, he said. The biggest project is improving mechanical system controls at Pearson Elementary, Sweeney Elementary, Shakopee Junior High and Shakopee Middle School. Other changes include lighting updates, water conservation and upgrading computer shutdown software. Most projects have an operational and energy payback in 10 years, according to Piper. All 10 district’s buildings are included on the list, including Jackson Elementary. Despite the building just opening, Piper said there are always minor tweaks that could improve building operations. Board Chairman Steve Schneider, who was not at Monday’s meeting but connected via phone, objected to the agreement
calling energy savings “soft dollars.” “We have no way of ever verifying we’re saving those dollars,” he said. McKinstry guarantees its savings, Piper said. The company will provide an annual report with measured and verified numbers. If the improvements don’t meet the guaranteed savings, McKinstry will “have to pay you for it,” he said. Schneider expressed concern the board was moving too quickly on its agreement with McKinstry. The board had originally approved the company performing a detailed district audit in October. “We’re really spending taxpayer dollars to do this, and I don’t know if there’s any taxpayers out there who will be happy to see us spend these dollars on relatively new buildings,” he said. Board Member Carla Shutrop said she too was uneasy with the $2.75 million but feels better knowing McKinstry guarantees the savings. The board approved the agreement on a 4-1 vote with Schneider dissenting. Chuck Berg was absent. The district has two options for fi nancing: borrowing from bonds or using interest earnings on its building fund. Since 2004, the district’s building fund – made up bonds issued between 2004 and 2008 – has made more than $8.5 million in interest earnings, said Director of Finance Mike Burlager. Setting aside $4 million for future land purchases and improvements to Pearson, the junior high and middle school this school year, the district could easily draw $2.75 million from the building fund. Shakopee would save approximately $750,000 in interest by using its own dollars, Burlager said. The board generally favored the idea; however, it asked McKinstry to run a scenario if the district were to bond for the work. McKinstry plans to work with district administrators to wheedle down the detailed energy audit to the most cost-benefit projects. The energy and facility services fi rm will return in December with an ala carte list so the board can choose which projects it particularly wishes to do, Superintendent Rod Thompson said.

Although I’m fine with girl dogs and older kids, I’d like life to be less fast-paced. I jump onto laps or sit next to you. I was born in August 2003. I wear diapers, as I am 80 percent housebroken. But, if you let me out every two hours, I do fi ne.
Noodles is an easygoing, affectionate kitten rescued from a house fi re. He will plop onto your lap when you sit. He likes petting and purrs on contact. If you bend over Noodles will jump onto your shoulders and purr. He waits for you at the door. He is hesitant around active kids and enjoys cats. Noodles is fi ne being held except when there are interactive toys around. Playful Noodles was born in July. Siblings available.

time after losing jobs and subsequently losing their homes. They struggle to find work in an economy where hundreds of people apply for each job and the competition is fierce. Out of exhaustion and frustration, and without the resources many of us have to fall back on, some give up all together. I had been away from volunteering for most of the summer while I worked on a writing project, and being back in the presence of so much need and so much help was both devastating
and exhilarating. I make the decision to drive from Savage to downtown Minneapolis several times each month not because there aren’t opportunities closer to home, but because the shelter presented itself to my best friend and me somewhat serendipitously, and we’ve committed to making a difference there together. I thought about the journey of how the shelter came to be on my drive home Tuesday night, and when I picked up my son from his aunt’s house, he ran into my arms and excitedly asked, “Mommy! Did you help
the people who don’t have houses?” My heart nearly leaped from my chest. I recognize that my gift of time is valuable to the shelter coordinators and, I hope, is of some benefit to the guests. And the personal reward of heightened awareness is immeasurable for me. But more important than any of those things, I’m serving as a role model for my son, who, at the age of 3, is already glimpsing what it means to give without the expectation of getting anything in return.

FIREFIGHTER PAY Councilors gave preliminary approval on Tuesday last week to increase firefighter pay by 50 cents to $10.50 per hour. They also supported incentive pay to reward firefighters who have high attendance. This merit pay ranges from an additional 50 cents to $1 per hour. The average Shakopee fi refi ghter earns $4,689 per year before taxes. The additional compensation for the city is anticipated to total $20,000 in 2012. Shakopee firefighter pay currently falls far below the $12.04 per hour average of comparable suburbs. However, the annual $7,500 pension benefit is higher than the $6,089 average. (The pension is paid out fully after 20 years of service.) “It’s a pretty fair benefit package,” said Shakopee Mayor John Schmitt, who requested an analysis to compare the actual cost per fi refi ghter for suburban cities when both the pension benefit and hourly pay are included.
DAYTIME FIREFIGHTING Currently, only 11 of the city’s 43 paid on-call fi refighters are available during the day, worsening response times. “Today, we got called to 154th Street for a possible car fire,” Coleman told the City Council last week. “The fi rst engine left the station in nine minutes. The second engine arrived 30 minutes later.” With the economic downturn, the fi refighters who work in the city are increasingly unable to leave their jobs. Another 23 firefighters work outside the city. Given that daytime duty crews pulled from paid oncall firefighters no longer appears an option, the Fire Department would have to hire either part-time or full-

time fi refi ghters to improve daytime response. Although four full-time fi refighters would cost approximately $20,000 more per year than eight part-time fi refighters, part-time fi refighters present a turnover challenge. “We’d be replacing people quite often, I think,” Coleman said. Coleman also would like to hire a full-time training chief, which he called essential if a third fi re station is built in the Southbridge area. This person would be able to fi ll in for daytime fi refighters who are sick or on vacation. The training officer wage and benefits could total $100,000; however, the city would be able to shave $ 20,000 off current safety training costs. The Fire Department is unable to hire people who work nights, who would be available to respond during the day, because they are unavailable to train with the rest of the Fire Department on Monday evenings. A third fire station in the Southbridge area remains a looming desire. It’s possible station construction could be further delayed given significant tribal land purchases that have reduced the likely buildout of the area. Savage and Prior Lake have met their station needs for the adjacent portions of their cities, and there is little remaining chance of partnering with them on a new station, Coleman said, although the departments are discussing other possible ways of collaboration. The costs of a third fi re station, with annual debt from the $3 million construction, equipment and extra personnel, would likely total $680,000 per year. The tax impact translates

said, but Carver and Scott thought consolidation was worth a closer look. “We’re only three to four miles — as the crow f lies — away from each other,” Studnicka said. The counties must determine which dispatch center would be best to close and how technology would be merged. Two architectural fi rms are developing schematic designs to determine the costs of expansion at either site. Each center is less than 10 years old and has at least some room for expansion. There are many models for consolidation, said Car ver County Chief Sheriff’s Deputy Blair Anderson, who explained that the state study brought out a lot unanswered questions. He said the counties must very methodological as they analyze how to consolidate the systems. “We want to make sure we do this right so we don’t leave a mess for those behind us,” he said. The biggest cost savings would be in technology, said

Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson. Both agencies will soon need phone system upgrades, which could cost $ 300,000. Between the two agencies, they are also facing the replacement of 15 radio consoles — which cost more than $100,000 apiece. Fewer consoles would be required with just one dispatch center, the sheriffs said. The Scott County Sheriff’s Office has an antiquated records-management system, which would cost $ 5 million to $8 million to replace, Studnicka said. It is used across the sheriff’s office operation. Carver County’s system is more modern and possibly could be shared by Scott County. Wolf said he called up the

fi re station in the Southbridge area, which will require the hiring and training of 20 more paid on-call fi refighters. A whole City Council work session last week was devoted to a variety of Fire Department issues. In addition to proposing fulltime day fi refighters, Coleman requested raises for fi refi ghters, who last saw an increase in 2004. The city’s fi nance director also went through possible changes to rural fi re contracts. She proposed charging townships for more of the Fire Department’s full costs.

into $48 per home annually.
TOWNSHIP CONTRACTS Councilor Pat Heitzman is skeptical of charging Jackson and Louisville townships for the costs of a third fire station. “I don’t think it’s going fly well with them,” he said City Finance Director Julie Linnehan has proposed revising fire contracts with the townships so they are charged a share of all personnel, equipment, facility, fuel and maintenance costs, which currently isn’t all covered. But the city is also proposing dropping the townships’ share of overhead costs from 15 to 10 percent. Councilor Steve Clay, a property assessor by profession, asked that the city also revaluate the criteria used to determine the city and townships’ share of property value. He believes the current system may skew in favor of the city. Linnehan said this is just the starting point of discussions on rural fire contracts. The townships, which have not had a chance to review the city’s preliminary proposal, are developing one of their own. Unlike Heitzman, Mayor John Schmitt favors charging the townships for all three fi re stations, once one in Southbridge is built. The two current stations both send trucks to rural fi res, and it’s likely the third station would provide backup, he said. “You are talking about a composite department,” said Schmitt. “It’s pretty difficult to distinguish very infi nitely what you should allocate and what you shouldn’t because the whole Fire Department itself comes into play.” Shannon Fiecke Carver County Board chair and other Carver County commissioners a few months ago to gauge if there’d be enough political support across the river to consider a merger. “I kept hearing that some [people] were against it, that it wasn’t going to happen because of political lines and red tape,” Wolf said. “I called up Randy [Maluchnik] and said, ‘Can we take a look at this again?’ He said, ‘In the face of where we’re at, absolutely we should.’ ” Anderson, who experienced a dispatch consolidation within Dakota County, warned that the counties will have to be mindful of the psychological impact of a merger on employees. “W herever it lands, one group will feel like an outcast,” he said. “We don’t want to underestimate those things.” Scott County Commissioner Dave Menden of Shakopee said he’s heard both positive and negative opinions on the Dakota County consolidation. There will always be malcontents, Anderson said, but he found that the overwhelming majority in Dakota County were happy with the move. Studnicka said the negative comments may concern one city that pays more for emergency response now due to additional vehicles being dispatched. Anderson estimated it would “several years” before a merger could occur between Carver and Scott. Commissioners gave their tacit support for the concept on Tuesday. Maluchnik said he’s heard of dispatch consolidation efforts failing in other parts of the state. “If there’s not the political will to do this, we should think about that and let folks know before [time and effort are expended],” Maluchnik said. There are 31 dispatchers employed between the two counties. However, officials expect no layoffs due to natural attrition, retirement and employees who would not want to be part of the merged system. Richard Crawford contributed to this report.

In 1886, Richard W. Sears, then 23 years old, started selling watches to supplement his income as a station agent at North Red-wood, Minn. With his watch selling successful, Sears quit his job and moved to Minneapolis. In 1887, Sears settled in the company’s fi rst Chicago location and hired watchmaker, Alba C Roebuck. In 1925 the fi rst Sears retail store opened. The g rand opening sale event of the new Sears and Roebuck store and catalog sales office in Shakopee has been set for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In November 1951, the present Sears Catalog Sales office was in Shakopee on Lewis Street. Within the last two years, the increased demand of customers for this convenient shipping service has made it necessary to relocate the store to the Westport Shopping Center. One of the most convenient features of the Sears Catalog Sales office is the same-day delivery service form the Minneapolis mail order plant. Anyone interested in square

ALASKA continued from page 1
BUILDING A LIFE Mike and Jayne Koskovich have lived in Alaska nearly 40 years. The couple, who own a small bed and breakfast and “f lightseeing” business, was fi rst drawn to the Land of the Midnight Sun by their own sense of adventure. The Alaskan dream was first planted in Mike as a youngster, hearing his father’s stories about the glaciers, bears and wild weather. His father, Joseph, f lew planes to the last American frontier in World War II. Mike’s fi rst glimpse of Alaska, aboard an A rmy plane headed to Vietnam in 1970, was everything he imagined. White, snow-capped mountains stood out against a clear, blue sky — an impressive sight for kid from the Midwest flatlands, he said. In 1973, Mike’s brother, Richard, took of f for A laska to work in the transatlantic oil pipeline. The move inspired Mike to hitchhike to Seattle on grain trucks and then f ly the remaining 1,400 miles to visit his brother. While in Alaska, Mike met the owner of a flight instruction school who was looking for a pilot to teach the nouveau-riche pipeline workers how to fly. So, on the day after Thanksgiving 1974, Mike and his wife, the former Jayne Rosen, packed up t hei r pickup t r uck and camper and took off to Alaska. They arrived in Palmer, Alaska, six days later. Mike worked as a f light instructor and Jayne taught school. They ate a lot of cheese sandwiches, tomato soup, popcorn and whatever they could shoot in those early days. They built a log house in Wasilla where they lived until building their current house-hangar on Seymour Lake in 2005. After a few years as a flight instructor, Mike began flying wheel planes and single-engine floats into the bush.

MINNESOTA TO ALASKA
Brrr, it’s cold Because of its size and proximity to the ocean, weather can vary widely in Alaska. Here’s a snapshot of temperatures from across the state at 11 a.m. Monday, Nov. 28. Anchorage Fairbanks Fort Yukon Juneau Sitka Unalaska Wasilla

Richard, who had always been fascinated by his dad’s 35mm slides of Alaska, drove up the “Alcan” Highway in March 1973. An avid outdoorsman who had always preferred spending his time in the woods with a .22, Richard said Alaska offered world-class hunting opportunities. “Also, I wanted to get as far away from farming as I could get,” said Richard, who lives in Homer, Alaska, designing custom wildlife gold jewelry. Jayne also has three siblings living in Alaska. Her eldest brother, John, came to Alaska for the hunting and fishing in 1974. A welder by trade, he still works for the pipeline. Tom, also a welder, drove up with Mike once with a duffle bag and never left. He runs a boarding kennel for Labrador retrievers. Jayne’s sister, Khris, fell in love with the place while visiting, too. She’s married and works as an aide for autistic children, Jayne said. Mick Shea, another Shakopee native, drove up to Alaska with John Rosen in 1974 looking to do a little sport fishing. Within two weeks he had a job. “I’m still sport fi shing. I haven’t caught all the fish yet,” said Shea, who retired after 32 years working with heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment. He lives with his wife Linda in Wasilla. “There are a lot of ex-Minnesotans here,” Richard said. “It seems like those that haven’t moved here come to visit every July to fi ll their fish boxes.”
ALASKA LIVING Mike and Jayne host many of those visitors at their home through Flysafe Bed and Breakfast Airventures. In August, Greg and Carol Sebald of Jordan spent a week at t he Koskoviches’ sm a l l B&B. They visited Mick Shea and John Rosen, toured the Mat-Su Valley and flew up to Koskoviches’ remote cabin on Trapper Lake. Mike even landed his plane on the Colony Glacier and chipped off a hunk of fresh ice to bring back for margaritas. Staying at Flysafe was an intimate way to see the wilds of Alaska beyond the typical tourist experience, Greg said, since the Koskoviches served as tour guides, personal pilots and hosts. “Mike is a walking Wikipedia of Alaska,” he said. Many people come to Alaska without any comprehension of its size and unaware of what’s reasonable to see in a weeklong trip, Jayne said. The state is larger than Texas, Montana and California combined with a limited road system. Flying is the only way to get around most of the state. “Havi ng a n ai r pla ne up there is just like having a boat here,” said Greg, noting the Koskoviches use an association airstrip a quarter-mile outside their door. Because of its size, Alaska’s

In Homer, where Richard lives near the saltwater ocean, the temperature rarely dips below zero or inches above 70, he said. More inland, by Wasilla, the temperature has already crept into the negative teens overnight. “You plug away through that wintertime,” Mick Shea said, “and as the days get longer [you feel like you] sustained the winter and can enjoy the summer.” The cold doesn’t bother Mike and Jayne much. Every day, Jayne plays outside with the family dog, Ruby, cross-country skis or goes ice fishing. Like most Alaskans, Mike is an avid hunter and fisherman. During winter, the couple provides suppor t for longdistance dog-sledding races, hauling people, dogs and equipment throughout the state and housing race enthusiasts at their B & B. Every March, Mike and Jayne fly up to Nome, Alaska, to watch the Iditarod fi nish. Mike, who flown all over the world, says there’s no place he’d rather be. From the absolute quiet to the abundant wildlife — moose, swans, bears, duck, wolves, bald eagles are common sights — living in Alaska never ceases to amaze him. As a big-game hunting guide, Richard said he has seen some of the “most beautiful, remote, rugged, undeveloped places on Earth,” which makes it difficult to be satisfied anywhere in the Lower 48. “The excitement of what might be around the corner or just out your door is something I fi nd lacking elsewhere,” Richard said. Mick Shea agreed. “No matter where you go, it’s always an adventure.”

Minnesota and Alaska share a bond beyond similar climates. During the Great Depression, the U.S. government offered families from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan the opportunity to relocate to Palmer, Alaska, as part of the Matanuska Valley Colony. In response, 203 families moved to Palmer, one of the few areas in Alaska suited for agriculture. The “colonists,” as they’re still known today, built log homes and raised livestock and crops. “If you drive through Palmer, you’d swear you were in some nor t her n Mi n nesot a town — with no mountains,” Mike said. The state saw a similar boom in the 1970s during the construction of the transatlantic oil pipeline, which attracted thousands of men to the state.

“She did a phenomenal job of just showing her horse,” Hoffman said. Svoboda earned her biggest prize of the season at the 54th annual Canadian National Arabian and Half Arabian Championship Horse Show in Brandon, Manitoba, Aug. 15-20. Heading to her last competition, Svoboda was nervous and did some things during the warm-up that were out of character, Hoffman recalled. However, she was able to correct herself and her 11-year-old purebred, Triffik, earned first place in the County English 17-and-under class. “I honestly can’t remember what happened because I zoned out after they announced my name,” Svoboda said. Svoboda also placed in the top 10 in the Arabian English Show Hack class. This was the first year Triffik competed in show hack, a performance class in which riders must show they can collect and extend their horse’s strides at walk, trot, canter and handgallop levels. “It’s hard work [for the horse],” Svoboda said about the style. “But once they get good at it, it’s a lot of fun.” Svoboda had placed in the top 10 in the English Show

Her next competition is the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show in Scottsdale, Ariz., in February.

Depth is Sabers’ ace in the hole Grapplers return 15 letter-winners BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

www.scoreboard.mn
The Shakopee wrestling team is hoping that depth will carry it to a successful season. The Sabers don’t have a lot of superstar wrestlers but will put a solid wrestling outfit on the mat for all 14 weights, something not every program can do. “I don’t have any concerns. We have a good group of kids,”
head coach Mark Neu said. “We aren’t going to have any holes. We have 14 kids that know how to wrestle and will keep us in matches and not give up the big points and can score some points.” The defending Missota Conference champions return 15 wrestlers who earned varsity letters last year.

Even with that many returning letter-winners and Neu’s positive attitude, the Sabers do have to fi nd some wrestlers at spots that were vacated because of graduation. “We lost some big guns,” Neu said. “We’ve got a nice lineup with some experience.” The top returning wrestler with the most experience is junior Patrick Casey. Casey star ts the season ranked ninth at 138 pounds in Class 3A. He currently sits at 91 career wins and should get to the top of the Shakopee win list by the end of his senior season. “Patrick is going to be solid,” Neu said. Heavyweight Corey Anderson also returns after fi nishing fourth at state last year. He begins this season as the No. 2-ranked heavyweight in Class 3A. “He’s not going to surprise anybody this year,” Neu said. “They will be gunning for him.” The only other Saber wrestler that is ranked is senior Scott Bode, who is tabbed sixth at 220 pounds. Shakopee also returns Owen Webster, Tyson Leon, Kevin Brickey, Jack Edberg, Ben Montean, Jeff Doedge, Garrith Fischer, Jacob Glynn, Sam

There was some good and some bad for the Sabers boys hockey team last weekend despite going 0-2 in the Woodbury tournament. The Sabers lost in overtime 4-3 to Chisago Lakes to open the season last Friday. They let that tough loss affect them on Saturday when Coon Rapids beat them 8-1. “First game was a tough one to lose,” head coach Lee Engstrom said. “We had a lot of chances, we just didn’t bury them.” Against Chisago Lakes, the two teams exchanged goals until the Tigers scored 2:45 into overtime to win 4-3. Chisago Lakes scored just 3:39 into the start of the game but the Sabers tied it up with 26 seconds left in the first when sophomore defenseman Sheldon Miks scored his fi rst varsity goal. Ryan Herbel and Matt Davis assisted on the shorthanded goal. Ben Jasper gave the Sabers a 2-1 lead with a power-play goal at 6:22 of the second period. Miks and Herbel got the assists. The Tigers did in the second what the Sabers did in the fi rst period — score late in the period. They tied it at 2-2 with 58 seconds left in the period. Chisago Lakes made it 3-2 just at 1:04 into the third. Shakopee’s Davis tied it at 3-3 at 5:46. The game didn’t see another goal until 2 :45 of overtime when Chisago Lakes pushed the puck past goalie Sean Surbaugh for the game-winner. Surbaugh stopped 32 shots in the loss. “We had a lot of younger kids step up,” Engstrom said. “The kids competed and played very hard even with a short bench.” The Sabers followed that loss by not showing up against Coon Rapids. The Cardinals scored five fi rst-period goals on their way to an 8-1 win. Coon Rapids scored four of those goals in the game’s fi rst seven minutes. “The kids took the first period off,” Engstrom said.

They gave up two late second-period goals and played Coon Rapids to a 1-1 tie in the third when Sam Scott scored for the Sabers. “ T he boys bat t led t he next two periods,” Engstrom said.

Looking to get a win Sabers’ record falls to 1-5 BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com
The early-season struggles continue for the Shakopee girls hockey team. The Sabers lost two more games, bringing their losing streak to three and their record to 1-5. Their latest loss came the
day after Thanksgiving to Bloomington Jefferson, 3-2. The Sabers fell behind 2-0 in the fi rst period but got secondperiod goals from Lauren Hespenheide and Abbey Leffler to tie it up at 2-2 going into the third period. Jefferson broke the tie with a goal at 7:38 and was able to hold on for the one-goal win. Amber Flood stopped 28 of 31 shots but took the loss in net. Shakopee only fired 13 shots on net the entire game. Shakopee opened the Mis-
sota Conference portion of their schedule with a 7-4 loss to Red Wing, the seventh-ranked team in Class A, on Tuesday last week. In that loss, the Sabers led 2-1 and 3-2 before falling to the Wingers. Hespenheide scored twice while Amy Menke and JoJo Lindstrom each scored once for the Sabers. Karynn Adams stopped 20 of 26 shots for the Sabers in the loss.

lence broke out after a failed coup attempt. Several hundred members of the Gio and Mano tribes, that had been ill-treated by President Doe, revolted in the northeast. On December 24, 1989, a small band of Libyan-trained rebels led by Charles G. Taylor, invaded Liberia from the Ivory Coast. A final cease-fire and peace accord in 1996 was followed by the installation of a transitional government of all factional leaders. Between December 1989 and mid-1993, Charles Taylor’s National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) was responsible for thousands of deliberate killings of civilians. As NPFL forces advanced towards Monrovia in 1990, they targeted people of the Krahn and Mandingo ethnic groups, both of which the NPFL considered supporters of President Doe’s government. As the fighting escalated into civil war, three distinct factions became engaged in a national power-struggle: forces loyal to Doe, and two mutually opposed rebel groups led by Charles Taylor and Prince Yormie Johnson. Fighting between Doe’s troops and the Taylor/Johnson axis began at the end of 1989. The Republic of Liberia was plunged into a state of chaos. Because no central gover nment existed at the time of YEI M. DOLO’s death, no official record of her death exists, and it is impossible for Petitioner to obtain a certificate of death from the government of Liberia. IV. This action is brought under Minn. Stat. 576.142. YEI M. DOLO has been deceased and missing for more than four years. Petitioner requires a judicial declaration from a court of competent jurisdiction that YEI M. DOLO is deceased, such judicial declaration being the only way that Petitioner can satisfy immigration and naturalization regulations required by the United States Department of Immigration and Naturalization Services. WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests that the Court issue the following declaratory Order, to-wit: 1. That YEI M. DOLO is deceased. 2. Granting such other and further relief as the Court determines is necessary and proper.
