Stepping out in faith
Scott County against new land-trust application BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com
A U.S. Supreme Court decision — which limits the federal government’s authority to place land in trust to tribes under federal jurisdiction before a 1934 federal act — could come into play as the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community seeks to place an additional 156 acres of land into trust. In a recent meeting, Scott County Attorney Pat Ciliberto told the Scott County Board this 2009 decision — which was concluded after the tribe’s last major trust application — means the tribe’s latest applications for three parcels of land are “contrary to law.� “We didn’t have this decision in years past when trust applications were before the board; now we basically have a bright line decision,� Ciliberto said. The tribe applied this fall to place the following lands into trust: the 23-acre Wozupi Garden parcels in Prior Lake, 130 acres

Budget-saving at issue BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com
In the last three years, Don McNeil estimates he’s taped more than 200 local events and programs for Shakopee cable viewers: the Scott County Relay for Life, Community Education’s DaddyDaughter Dance, the downtown holiday festival and the list goes on. While he and the city’s cable commissioners don’t always see eye-to-eye, he’s by far their largest contributor to the public access channel in Shakopee. A lthough the city rakes in hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees each year from Comcast, the city’s cable television provider, next week the Shakopee City Council will be asked to quit loaning mini-DV cameras to the public in order to save an estimated $8,500 per year. The city’s three cable access channels will stay turned on, but this move essentially puts an end to most locally aired events — aside from broadcasts of govern-

SUBURBAN GROWTH SACS leaders attribute the growth to several factors, including the city of Shakopee’s growth. In the mid1990s, when SACS began exploring remodeling its downtown Shakopee buildings before opting to build the CEC, the town’s population was 13,832. Today, Shakopee has more than 37,000 residents, according to 2010 census figures.

Farmers, some homeowners feel tax-change squeeze BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com
The state deficit solution is fi nally hitting home. Greg Silus lives in a portion of New Market Township where property values have fared better than the rest of the county. His neighborhood’s reward: 20 percent property tax hikes “That equates to $1,0 0 0,� pro-
nounced Silus, whose assessed home value actually rose after decreasing in 2011. To soften the blow from eliminating the state’s homestead credit, legislators replaced the credit with a market value exclusion that shifts the increased property tax burden off lower- priced homes. Silus and his neighbors are footing the bill. But farmers — whose ag land never benefitted from the homestead
credit in the fi rst place — are hit the hardest. “We live in a $ 50,000 home and our taxes went up 38 percent,� said Jim Dubbe, a Sand Creek Township farmer whose land taxes have gone up by double digits on all five parcels (68 percent on one). “That’s $2,300 from last year to this year and we just can’t sustain that. It went up a lot last year.� The picture for several property

Book proceeds to help fund scholarships for minorities BY PAT MINELLI editor@shakopeenews.com
T
he publication of her first children’s book was a lifelong dream come true for Cristina Oxtra. She also wants to help local minority students achieve their educational dreams, so she’s dedicated part of the book’s proceeds to an education fund she created in 2010. The Savage resident, who is the communications coordinator for the Shakopee School District, is the author and illustrator of “Mookie’s Teeth,� a coming-of-age story about a friendly little monster. “It has been my dream to do this for years,� said Oxtra. She started writing the children’s book in 2004. “I never finished anything or submitted anything. I was afraid no one would publish them.� Finally, she decided to finish the book and publish it herself. Some of the proceeds will go to the Kaleidoscope Scholarship Fund, which she started in February 2011. The Kaleidoscope scholarship is one of several that local associations, businesses and organizations offer through Shakopee Dollars for Scholars. Students applying for the Kaleidoscope scholarship must meet the Dollars for Scholars criteria as well as be a minority student. All minority students who meet the criteria are eligible for it. A Dollars for Scholars’ panel of judges selects the applicants who best fit the criteria using its selection process. At a Dollars for Scholars banquet in 2010, Oxtra said, she noticed lack of diversity among scholarship recipients. That’s when she decided to start the Kaleidoscope scholarship. There will be no lack of potential recipients for the scholarship, since around a third of Shakopee students are minorities. Oxtra said minorities, especially those from firstgeneration families, are unaware of scholarships and college-fund availability. Often, it’s because of a language barrier, she said. Oxtra has a special interest

in immigrant students, many of whom struggle financially as they make their way through school, because she was one of them. For many students of immigrant families, college is just a dream. “When I look at them, I see me,� said Oxtra, who was born in the Philippines. Her family emigrated from England to California when she was in high school. She told the Valley News in a story earlier this year how she struggled to go to college. “Nobody told me how to go to college. No one told me how to apply. No one told me how to get scholarships,� she said. She was unaware of the availability of financial aid for students, relying on long hours of work for both her parents and herself to pay to attend a local community college and later, San Diego State University. She took 20 or more credits each semester, worked the graveyard shift at a local radio station and lived at home to make ends meet. There was another way, but Oxtra said she wasn’t aware of it. She wants to make sure that other students in her situation find some help. Thinking of ways to raise money for the scholarship, Oxtra decided to finish and publish her children’s book. “I was formerly a journalist so I love to write. In fact, when I was about 8 years old, a
poem I wrote was published in a children’s magazine and that’s when I realized writing was my calling. That’s the one thing I knew I could do.� Not only did she write and self-publish the book, she was the illustrator. “I can’t afford an illustrator so I decided to illustrate it. Drawing is another activity I enjoy and hadn’t really done for a long time but I was ready to give it a try again.� Publication of the book will help fund her scholarship and satisfy a lifelong goal. But she also hopes her accomplishment will inspire students. “I want to show everyone, especially students, that one person can make a difference and that if they are willing to do the hard work, stay dedicated no matter the challenges they face and don’t give up, they can reach their goals and make their dreams come true,� said Oxtra. “I thought my humble little book could be a tangible example of that. I could say, ‘See this book? Believe me, a great deal of hard work, blood, sweat and tears went into creating this. If I can do it, you can do it as well! You can make your dream come true, even if you have to do it on your own.’� She also is planning another bake sale this year to raise funds. Kristin Holtz contributed to this story.

Former hockey coach, with months to live, is given 15 years’ probation on sex charge A Burnsville man who worked part-time at the Blake School in Hopkins as a girls’ hockey coach and was a former youth and varsity hockey coach in Prior Lake and Savage, was placed on 15 years of probation Monday for third-degree criminal sexual conduct after the judge ruled out jail time because the defendant might have only months to live. James Brent Vandusartz, 57, of Burnsville, pleaded guilty in September to third-degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony, in Dakota County District Court. At the sentencing Monday, Judge Richard Spicer said because Vandusartz is suffering from a malignant, inoperable brain tumor, it made no sense to place him in jail or home confi nement. The victim, who was not a student at Blake, was 16 to 18 years old when the crime occurred. She reported the assault to Burnsville police the day after it happened. The girl told police Vandusartz was trying to contact her through e-mails and voice-mail messages, which police then obtained, according to the court complaint. Police arranged for a phone call between the girl and Vandusartz, the complaint said, during which the girl agreed to meet Vandusartz the next day. Police arrested him that morning. Vandusartz admitted to police that he had “sexual contact with the student” that happened in “the heat of the moment” in November 2010 at his home, according to the complaint. Spicer imposed a stayed sentence and released Vandusartz under several conditions. They include that he have no contact with girls under age 18 without prior authorization, he must follow his probation officer’s orders regarding access to places known for sexual entertainment and/or promiscuous sexual activity, he must register as a predatory offender, and he must follow his probation officer’s orders with regard to computer use and Internet access. Vandusartz volunteered and worked as a girls’ and boys’ hockey coach at metro-area private schools. He was also a longtime youth goalie coach for boys and girls in the Prior Lake-Savage Hockey Association, and later was an assistant coach for the Prior Lake High School girls’ hockey team. He was dismissed from the high school team in 2006 when some players complained to school officials that he made suggestive remarks to them. A court hearing was delayed earlier this year at the request of Vandusartz, who underwent brain surgery. Vandusartz appeared in court Monday in a wheelchair. He was diagnosed in January 2011 and given 15 months to live.
Man, 79, convicted of molesting girls A 79-year-old Savage man must complete one year of electronic home-monitoring and abide by other conditions for 15 years or he could be sent for prison for molesting two girls who were under his care. Robert William Gallahar was accused last year of sexually touching two elementary school-aged girls multiple times while he was alone with them. He looked at pornography on a computer while committing at least some of the acts, the girls told detectives. A search of his computer produced more than 10 images of child pornography, according to the criminal complaint. Earlier this month, Gallahar was convicted without a jury in Scott County District Court of nine counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and one count of child pornography possession. Gallahar, who pleaded not guilty to all charges, was acquitted of two criminal sexual conduct charges by Judge Caroline Lennon. Lennon issued sentences on three of the charges: concurrent prison sentences of 90 months, 70 months and 48 months, but all are stayed if Gallahar successfully completes 15 years of probation. Under the terms of his probation, Gallahar must complete sex-offender treatment, stay off the Internet and have no unsupervised contact with minors. He also must register as a predatory offender.
Cops: Man charged gas to employer, quit After only a couple weeks on the job, a 41-year-old Shakopee man, Robert Allen Otto, allegedly used his company’s credit account to buy personal gas from a service station on First Avenue. Cardinal Exteriors reported that Otto made nine unauthorized gas purchases in September, both before and after he abruptly quit his job (he left his shift early and never returned). He was with the company only three weeks. During his short tenure, Otto was never authorized to use the company’s fuel credit account. Otto allegedly admitted to police that he used the fueling card. The purchases totaled $307 over a 10-day period. Otto was recently charged in Scott County District Court with one felony count of fi nancial transaction-card fraud. He was convicted of possessing counterfeit currency last month in Ramsey County.
Man busted for drugs while in courtroom Jonathan Wright Guyer, 30, of Brooklyn Park, was in Shakopee for court on Dec. 2, when a Scott County bailiff noticed him sway into the courtroom and stumble as he sat down. The bailiff asked Guyer his name and arrested him on a warrant for Hennepin County. As the bailiff attempted to handcuff him, Guyer allegedly spun around four times. The bailiff searched Guyer and allegedly found pill bottles, including one that said it contained methadone. Guyer had a pink syrupy-substance on his fi ngers, according to court documents, and said he obtained methadone from the clinic due to constant pain. However, the patient listed on the 2009 prescription label was of a different person, authorities said. The bottle has been sent for further analysis. Guyer, who has been charged with felony drug possession in Scott County, has a previous conviction of fi fth-degree drug possession from February 2010.
Woman charged with fake prescription A 21-year-old Jordan woman is accused of forging a prescription for the pain medication oxycodone. In October, April Kristine Marte fi lled a subscription for oxycodone at the Target pharmacy in Shakopee. The pharmacist, who knew Marte, later told police Marte seemed distressed and he was concerned for her. Two days later, a Minneapolis doctor notified Target that the prescription was a forgery. His prescription pad had been stolen, and several scripts were passed around the Twin Cities. A Carver County man was previously charged with illegally obtaining oxycodone from the same Target pharmacy also in October. That prescription, also forged, came from a clinic in Brooklyn Park. Marte is charged with fi fth-degree illegal procurement of drugs and the fourth-degree sale of drugs. Marte told detectives that a man offered her $200 to pass the fraudulent prescription. She said she went to Target with her boyfriend and the man, who both stayed in the car. The man knew a nurse who stole the prescription pad, the woman said. Her boyfriend told detectives the man is a fugitive who knows he’s going to prison, so he’s doing whatever he wants before going back. Compiled by Shannon Fiecke

Savage man gets 20-year prison sentence for incest
OIL CHANGE SPECIAL
Buy 1,
Daughters abused for several years Editor’s note: The Valley News is making a rare exception in this story by not revealing the name of the defendant to protect the identity of the victims. Normally, the newspaper leaves out a considerable amount of detail to protect sex-abuse victims and names the defendant. However, in this case, because the facts are so egregious, we thought readers would be better served knowing what happened to the victims. A 44-year-old Savage man who sex u a l ly abu se d h i s daughters for several years was sentenced in Scott County District Court to nearly 20 years of prison on Monday. The women are now in their 20s. The oldest daughter, who suffered the longest, recalled the first instance of sexual abuse occurring in her parents’ bedroom when she was 7 years old. As a teenager, she told police she was raped nearly every day. The abuse stopped for the younger daughter after she went to authorities in 2003, but it continued against her sister until last year. No criminal charges were fi led against the man until the second daughter cooperated when her sister went to police again in the summer of 2010. Savage police and Scott County Human Services investigated the report of sexual abuse in 2003, but the older sister, mother and father denied the claims. According to the criminal complaint, the younger daughter said her father choked her and threw her against the wall in retaliation for fi ling the compliant. The investigation was reopened last summer, after the youngest daughter and her uncle ran into her father, whom she hadn’t spoken to in years. She was “visibly upset
and was shaking uncontrollably” and told her uncle about the abuse, according to court documents. He accompanied her to police. As detectives looked into the allegations, the defendant’s sister — now in her 40s — reported that she was sexually abused by the man as a teen in their Prior Lake home. The older daughter told detectives her father began having sex with her in seventh or eighth grade when she had a question from her sex education class and he told her he would teach her about sex. He would buy condoms, sex toys and lingerie for her, which he kept in her bedroom. His philosophy was “if she took care of [her father], he would take care of her,” she told police, which meant she had to have sex to get the things she wanted or needed. The younger daughter said she was required to perform sexual favors for her father in return for being driven places. He would tell her, “Nothing is for free.” The defendant decided to forgo a jury trial and pleaded guilty to two felony counts: second-degree criminal sexual conduct for multiple acts with a minor under 16 and fi rst-degree criminal sexual conduct for multiple acts with a minor under 13. Scott County District Court Judge Jerome Abrams sentenced him to consecutive 12-year and 90-month prison sentences, with credit for 508 days already served in jail. Seven other counts of criminal sexual conduct and one count of incest were dismissed. With good behavior in prison, the man will be placed on conditional release after serving two-thirds of his sentence, which could mean he will serve 13 years in prison. Shannon Fiecke
City tax levy to stay flat Finance director says it can’t continue BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com
Mark Yost came to the city’s truth-in-taxation hearing last week ready to raise Cain. The preliminary tax statement for his Sussex Lane home showed an 8.3 percent bump. It was the fi rst time he’d ever come to a taxation meeting because he’s always seen pretty f lat city taxes before. Yost calmed down when he learned the biggest reason his property tax was pro jected to rise has nothing to do with the city’s fiscal management. Rather it can mostly be blamed on the elimination of state’s homestead credit, which legislators scrapped to solve the state deficit. “I can see that’s the reason,” Yost said, thanking the council for keeping the budget in line. A lt hough not t he mai n culprit for higher projected property taxes in 2012, the city of Shakopee did propose adding $ 350,000 to the $14.7 million operating levy in 2012 to boost its capital reserves. The majority of this increase, publicized in 2012 tax notices, was intended to start a savings account for an expected bubble of road overlays. The rest was intended for debt service. An anticipated half-milliondollar surplus now is anticipated for 2011, so the council opted last week to forgo a tax increase for 2012 and instead use the underspend to bolster the city’s capital savings. At the Dec. 6 meeting, Councilor Pamela Punt questioned why a large percent of the 2011 budget was still unspent, compared to this point last year. P ubl ic Work s Di r e c tor Bruce Loney cited $750,000 saved from a street reconstruction project in the city’s west end that was eligible for state turn-back funds. Punt preferred “trying to keep money in the pocket of residents,” using the surplus
rather than a tax increase as the start of the savings fund. Councilor Steve Clay, who ended up voting with rest of the board to maintain a fl at levy for 2012, initially said he preferred using most of the surplus as additional padding for that capital fund. “These 54 miles [of road] we built 20-some years ago are all going to be coming due for reconstruction or mill and overlay,” Clay said. “We really need to start building up that fund now so we don’t see some large, very uncomfortable spikes in the levy two or three years from now.” This will be fourth year of the same operating levy for the city, which has shaved more than five positions since 2009. Shakopee has managed to keep its operating levy flat by retiring bonds and tapping surpluses in its debt-service funds. The city is reaching a point, however, where it can’t keep cancelling debt levies. “That will get you through another year, but we need to keep council advised that this will not be the practice for ever,” Finance Director Julie Linnihan said. The city is only levying half of what voters approved to build the Vierling Drive fi re station in 1998. Linnehan recom mende d i ncre a si ng that $120,000 levy by another $10,000, but the council voted to keep it the same as well. The lowering of the proposed city tax levy was appreciated by resident Jason Clough, who asked the council if there was anything the city could do to lower costs. Saddled with student loan debt, Clough told councilors that he and his wife face increasing utility costs, homeowner association fees and the prospect of tax pressures from the state. “I don’t think raising taxes right now will help people in my situation,” he said. “Eventually something has to give.”

Both the council and board will be under new leadership and it will be interesting to see how they go about their business. The city will have a new mayor in Brad Tabke and a new city councilor, Jay Whiting. Tabke is off to an impressive start with his recent “listening campaign,” in which he met in person with constituents at various locations and also conducted an online chat with residents. His willingness to listen, even before taking office, is laudable. The new members will join the rest of the council, including Steve Clay, Matt Lehman and Pamela Punt. The big change locally will come on the Shakopee School Board, which next month will have a whopping four new faces among the seven members, and at a critical time for the school
district as it has some major issues to decide. Elected in November were Reggie Bowerman, Angela Tucker and Matt McKeand, replacing Kathy Busch, John Canny and Chuck Berg, who all decided against seeking re-election. The fourth new member, Scott Swanson, was appointed to the board Nov. 30 to replace Tony Bonsante, who resigned because he moved from the district. Bowerman previously served on the board for a couple of years, and his experience, plus that of the remainder of the board — including Mary Romansky, Steve Schneider and Carla Shutrop — will be an asset as it tackles tough questions, such as whether the district should have two high schools. Best wishes to our new city and school representatives. And congratulations to all who sought to serve on the City Council and School Board. Voters were indeed fortunate to have some excellent candidates from which to choose.
Why we all need public defenders I recall a particular day many years ago, probably back in the late 1950s, when I was visiting my grandmother. She asked me a question which is often posed to young children: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” If you are old enough to remember that time period, you will surely recall the arrival of television and how it had a huge influence on us. In most American homes TV had replaced radio as the main source of nightly news and entertainment. At the time “Perry Mason” was a popular TV show and I often watched it. The show was named after a fictional attorney who represented persons charged with serious crimes, usually murder. The idea that the hero of the TV show was an attorney helping alleged criminals who were charged with terrible crimes was unusual for those times. The premise of the show ran counter to popular thinking that people charged with crimes were likely guilty and that the sordid role of the defense attorney was to use a sneaky trick to get the case thrown out over a “technicality” or a “loophole.” Nevertheless, I enjoyed “Perry Mason.” Mr. Mason was a good-deed doer. He took on difficult, sometimes hopeless-looking cases. He charged his clients little to nothing. And invariably he would prove his client’s innocence. Like many TV shows then and now, it was high on entertainment, but low on realism. Probably because of my regular viewing of “Perry Mason,” I told my grandmother that “I am going to be a lawyer.” I recall her disapproving look. After a hesitation she asked me: “Terry, why would you want to help crooks?” At the time I didn’t really have a good reply to her question. However, in my ensuing school years I learned about the Bill of Rights and things such as presumption of innocence, the right to a trial and the right to be represented by an attorney. And I learned that all of us have these rights, whether we are actually innocent or guilty, rich or poor, crook or saint. As I now look back I remember my grandmother was smart and well read. I believe she also knew about these things, but perhaps she was just hoping I would become a doctor or a minister. If so, I should have pointed out to her that doctors and ministers also help “crooks.” However, the law became my career and now more than ever I appreciate that our own individual rights

are not safe unless we as a society protect such rights for each and every person. This brings me to the topic at hand, public defenders and why it is so important for all of us to support and maintain a strong public defender system. The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall have the assistance of counsel for his defense. By 1972 the U.S. Supreme Court had extended this right to any person accused of a crime who could be sentenced to jail or prison. Consequently, the right to counsel applies to all criminal prosecutions, except the most minor traffic and nuisance-type charges. Consequently, Minnesota established a statewide public defender system. Today in Minnesota, public defender work is done through the state of Minnesota Board of Public Defense. Public defenders are fulland part-time state employees who are administered through the state office and through districts which geographically coincide with the state’s 10 judicial districts. Public defenders are mandated to provide legal services for indigent persons in felony, gross-misdemeanor, misdemeanor, juvenile delinquency and child-protection cases. In addition the state Public Defenders Office represents some indigent defendants in handling their cases on appeal to the higher courts. A person is eligible for a public defender if they are receiving lowincome government benefits or, considering their liquid assets and income, they are unable to pay the reasonable fees charged by a private attorney. A person requesting a public defender is required to provide information to a judge or court screener who establishes whether they are financially eligible for a public defender.

Changes needed in U.S. farm policy
Fire victims need help during holidays
As citizens of Shakopee, many of us know of or remember how Shakopee used to look over 15 years ago. Most of Shakopee was covered with farm fields. Highway 169 did not divide our town, nor did Walmart -Mart or Target occupy Shakopee with business. Where did all those fields go? If you head south out of town, there you can fi nd vast fields, which Shakopee resembled. Nevertheless, Shakopee was a proud farming community in past years. As a student of St. Olaf College in Northfield, I have spent a semester dedicated to understanding the politics of the food industry. This took me to studying the politics behind farming more specifically. After further research, I found that poor governmental policy is the cause of the depletion of small-town farms. Simply put, due to the current policies half-created by monopolistic corporations, small-town farmers cannot afford or produce enough to meet the standards. How does that affect us as consumers? Because small, diverse farms decreased, huge farms that only produce corn or soybeans took over the market. You can fi nd corn or soybeans in almost all of our food because both products can be manipulated to become different ingredients. These ingredients are the culprits of all unhealthiness in our diets due to the overwhelming amounts of sugar provided in these foods. Therefore, from what I have learned, if small farming communities such as historic Shakopee are to survive, policy must change for the benefit of the producer and consumer rather than for the giant corporations like Walmart and Cargill.
I am sending out a Christmas wish list for my Uncle Mark, Aunt Sara, and my four cousins. They tragically lost their house and all their personal belongings to a fi re early on the morning of Dec. 7. They live in southern Minnesota, in a small town called Ellendale. I will be collecting anything that is new or slightly used to aid in their recovery. Gifts cards and or monetary donations would gladly be accepted too. They have three boys ages 8-12 and a daughter who is 5. Any gifts or cards can be sent or dropped off at 3044 Marcia Lane, Shakopee, MN 55379. You can also visit http://www.gofundme.com/ b2i1w and donate money. Merry Christmas and thanks to all!

All-night grad party grateful to businesses I’d like to extend a public thank you to two local businesses that have been most generous in their contributions to the Shakopee High School All Night Graduation Party. Temple-Inland has once again provided us with a large supply of sheet cardboard so that we can transform the high school into a decorated, themed event for our graduating seniors. The Aurora Casket Co. has graciously opened its doors, giving us a place to store and work on these decorations — a yearlong process. Without the kindness and support of these businesses the longstanding tradition of the graduation party would have ended this year.

Everyone needs someone to talk to Walking through one of the malls the other day I noticed that Santa was sitting by himself, bearded head in gloved hand. There was no one on his lap and no one in line waiting to do so. I found this troubling. Santa should not be sitting by himself. Why is no one talking to him? I considered approaching the old fellow and asking him if he needed some company. I could have pulled up a chair next to his green throne — no need to sit on his lap, and I doubt very much he would have sat on mine. We could have talked about anything he wanted. For starters I would have asked him what he wanted for Christmas, and then we could have moved on to

a discussion of child-labor laws and their effect on child-like elves. Perhaps I would have some explaining to do about this year’s behavior, or maybe I could have
told him about the summer I met his wife. I was working at a nursing home as an orderly. I took advantage of the situation and engaged the residents in conversation whenever I could. One woman was especially pleasant to talk to. Although her legs were too weak to support her, her mind was strong enough to carry a conversation. She was short and round and her eyes sparkled behind her round glasses that sat just above her round, glowing cheeks. And to complete the circle, her hair was drawn back in a bun that outlined her happy, round face.

School Board approves 2.9% levy hike Shakopee School Board approved a 2.9 percent tax levy hike for 2012 Monday night, making no changes from the preliminary $21.7 million levy passed in September. The 2012 tax levy is an increase of $ 613,254 from this year’s, primarily due to an increase in debt service. The district will levy an additional 7.5 percent, or $ 981,491, to cover its debt responsibility. Of the $ 21.7 million total levy, $18.5 million is voterapproved bond and levy referendums. Boa rd Member Ca rla Shutrop asked what the district would have to do to keep a flat levy, like the city of Sha-
kopee did this year. The board must cut an additional $600,000 from its levy authority, resulting in less cash to pay for current programming, Financd Director Mike Burlager said. The board could cut from a levy area but must find the funding elsewhere, he explained. For example, if the board cut $268,000 from its Safe Schools levy, it would then have to pay for its school resource officers and security camera systems out of the general fund, Burlager said. The board did opt not to levy for deferred maintenance or health and safety in September.
In addition, the district receives corresponding state aid in some levy areas, which means a cut in the local property tax burden results in a reduction in state revenue, too. “It’s a Catch-22 that the state is forcing us to levy to get state aid,” Shutrop said. Board Member Chuck Berg noted the board could dip into its $9.58 million fund balance to make up a reduction in local and state funding, but that would likely force the school district to borrow for cash flow later in the school year. No one from t he public spoke at Monday’s truth-intaxation hearing. Kristin Holtz

Teachers, School Board agree to two-year contract BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com
The Shakopee School Board ratified a two-year contract with its teachers’ union Monday. The contract calls for a 1 percent compensation increase this year and next year. The contract, which is retroactive to July 1 and runs through June 2013, includes 1 percent increases to the salary schedule and a 4.6 percent total increase in steps and lanes, said Finance Director Mike Burlager. Teachers climb steps for every additional year
of experience and lanes for continuing education and/or higher degrees. The contract has no changes in the district’s health insurance contributions, Burlager noted. Shakopee Education Association approved the contract Monday, too. “The teachers really can see the big picture, best interests of the district and know the fi nancial health of the district is best for everyone,” Personnel Committee Chair Kathy Busch said. Overall, licensed staff will
cost the district an additional $2.38 million over the next two years. Most of the contract negotiations centered on updating lang uage, Busch said. The board did agree to add a sickleave loan clause that allows st a f f to bor row additiona l sick-leave benef its beyond their accumulated benefits. The clause should help staff whose illnesses are lengthy but do not quality for longterm medical leaves, Human Resources Manager Shaleen Roth said. The contract also allows
adoptive parents to receive a 30-day child care leave upon the adoption of a child. It formalizes the district’s practice of association leave for SEA leaders for association business, Busch said. A substitute teacher will be hired with the cost shared between the union and district. High school faculty will also now be required to attend high school graduation. Superintendent Rod Thompson said the addition was made to reflect some changes Shakopee High School Principal Kim Swift intends to make to the event.
Board OK’s energy efficiency projects at $2.7 million BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com
The Shakopee School Board approved a list of infrastructure projects it hopes will save the district 15 percent of its annual utility bills. The board voted 5-1 Monday to approve 43 projects, totaling $2.7 million, as presented by McKinstry. In turn, the energy efficiency fi rm guarantees the district will save $ 244,000 off its annual $1.6 million utility bill. Net cost of the project is $2.57 million after rebates and incentives. Board Chair Steve Schneider voted against the contract, explaining his opposition by citing a similar contract the board signed 15 years ago. In 1996, the board entered into a $1.645 million contract with a company called Cenerprise for energy conservation measures. After updating all its light fixtures, the state came in and required the district do it over, Schneider recalled. T he savi ngs promised by Cenerprise were wiped away but the district continued to pay for the improvements for 10 years, he said. “It was a thorn in our back, and we had to live with it for years,” Schneider said during the pre-meeting work session.
With technology constantly improving, there is always the p o s s i bi l i t y something b e t t er m ay come along, Board Memb er Chuck Berg said. “All you can do is go with the information you have at the time,” Steve he said. “You Schneider can’t predict the future completely.” The board plans to fund the improvements from its $16.8 million building fund, money left over from the 2004 through 2008 bond referendums. Legal counsel approved the use of the referendum dollars for the project’s purposes, Finance Director Mike Burlager said Monday. The largest project on the list is a $1.2 million upgrade from pneumatic to DCC controls in four district buildings. District Buildings and Grounds Manager John Gates said the upgrade is something the district would have to do eventually since the buildings are aging and it’s becoming dif ficult to get pneumatic parts.

Frank Strunk, 75, formerly of Shakopee, died peacefully at home in Grosse Pte. Woods, MI after a three year struggle with lung cancer, surrounded by his loving family, on Sunday, Dec. 4, 2011. He is survived by his beloved wife, Cathy, devoted children, Tim (Laura), Bethany, Therese (Ryan Hespenheide) and David; grandchildren, Christopher and Cameron Strunk. He is also survived by adoring sisters, Ellen (Stan) Hennessy, Pleasant Hill, CA, Nan Lodermeier, Shakopee and Winnie Strunk, Baldwin, NY; nine nieces and one nephew. Frank was born July 31, 1936 in Minneapolis to Frank R. and Winifred Strunk and grew up in Shakopee, graduating from Shakopee High School in 1954 and St. Mary;’s College, Winona in 1958. He then went on to receive his Master’s degree in English and Literature from the University of Detroit. He taught and coached in the Detroit Area Catholic Schools for over 40 years until retiring in 2005. While in Detroit, he met Cathy McIvor. They were married Oct. 27, 1973. He was intensely proud of Cathy and their four children and two grandsons. Frank was an incredibly talented, humble, funny man, who loved his family, friends and God passionately, as well as teaching and coaching, as attested to in the many tributes to him posted on the website of the A.H. Peters Funeral Home, Grosse Pte, MI: http://obit.ahpeters.com/ Phone, 313-884-5500. Throughtout his illness, Frank remained “upbeat”, staying in contact with family and friends by phone and always praying for a “miracle”. His courage, and that of his family, was inspirational, and he was a “miracle” to all of us. I don’t think he ever quite believed how much we all loved him and how deeply he will be missed by us (his family) and all who knew him. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated in Detroit in February.

ects include new Shakopee buildings. Mike Piper of McKinstry said even in new buildings, controls may not be commissioned to their peak efficiency.
“No matter how well a building is built, it makes sense to go with a fine-tooth comb, in this climate, after initial expansion and contraction is done, and caulk and seal these buildings,� Board Member John Canny said. McKinstry’s original list included nearly 80 projects,
but the fi rm recommended 43 after administrators deemed the payback too poor or the project not essential. Upgrading softball field lighting and interior lighting at the Shakopee Environmental Learning Center were not included in the fi nal project.
PETS OF THE WEEK These and other friendly pets are available from the Carver-Scott Humane Society (368-3553).

Santa, Ducky has been a good girl and is longing for a family. She lap-sits for a short while but stays in your arms for a long time. Ducky will reach up requesting to be picked up so she can lean close and rub up against your face. She gets along with some cats, gentle kids, all people, but especially men. She dashes around chasing balls and toy mice plus enjoys petting and brushing. Ducky was born in March 2010 and is white with black.
For Ch ri st m a s I wa nt YOU! I’m affectionate, easygoing, quiet and friendly. When you sit I’ll jump onto your lap, and we can watch TV together. I enjoy having my mediumlength gray hair brushed, and I seek people attention. I’m 7 years old and want to be the only cat. I ankle-rub and play with interactive toys. I was abandoned and want you to love me and be my forever family.

TAXES continued from page 1
credit has raised property taxes across the state by an estimated $260 million. But county Commissioner Jon Ulrich hinted Tuesday that the county might be able to back away from its proposed 2012 tax levy increase of 0.9 percent. Kept fl at in 2011, tax notices showed a sight increase in the 2012 county levy to cover mounting state-aid losses, as well address maintenance issues put off during tight budgets. “We’re not increasing our levy to pay for operations,” said the county’s fi nance head, Kevin Ellsworth. The county is pressing for no employee raises in 2012. It also plans to eliminate 17 positions (through layoffs, early retirement and not fi lling vacancies), bringing staffing to the same level as 2002. Although these are smart staff reductions, the trimming is starting to put pressure on the organi-
zation, Ellsworth said, noting it’s become harder to retain certain employees, such as in internet technology and engineering, with current salary packages. Still, it appears the county’s budget team might come back next week with a revised budget and 2012 levy. “Some ver y favorable u nknowns are settled here in the county,” said Ulrich, likely referring to two-year labor contracts just reached with three unions, including the county’s largest. Scott County Employee Relations Director Jack Kemme told the Valley News he couldn’t comment on the terms of the negotiated agreements, which are to be presented to the County Board next week. News of a projected state surplus of $ 876 million has also buoyed the county, which was hedging for another December unallotment. County Sheriff Kevin Studnicka has been asked to reduce his budget by $150,000. It has already achieved an average savings of $340,000 the last three
December 15, 2011 | Page 7 years despite taking on more responsibilities, he said. Studnicka, ordered a raise this year by a county judge, said he’s not requesting another in 2012, but wants the county to complete a compensation study for 2013, noting he’s the lowest paid sheriff in the metro area. Local residents shared their cost-saving ideas with the board last week. Darcy Running of Prior Lake urged the county to look at merging its park, fi re and law enforcement administration with the cities. In Florida, the sheriffs run the ambulance and fi re services, he said. A possible merger is in the works with Carver County’s 911 dispatchers, said County Board Chair Tom Wolf. “After that maybe the jail,” Wolf said. Dubbe suggested the county sell off parkland to reduce taxes. “The county has gotten rather crazy buying up private land for parks,” Dubbe said, adding that “agriculture surely isn’t using its share of what it pays for.”

SACS continued from page 1
The school has also made a tuition-assistance commitment to families struggling financially. When the Rev. Peter Wittman came to Shakopee in 2008, he told school leaders he wanted no student turned away because of tuition, SACS President Diane Lee recalled. That leadership and dedication from the parishes has been critical, she said, noting SACS’ Adopt-a-Student Fund has tripled over the past three years. There are 175 students receiving scholarship assistance. “When people know you have that need, they’re much more likely to respond and make a donation,” Lee said. SACS’ growth isn’t mirrored everywhere across the archdiocese, said the archdiocese’s Assistant Superintendent of Schools Mary Kane. After an enrollment rebound in the 1990s, the archdiocese has closed or merged several schools, said Kane, noting the archdiocese has 95 schools. That’s down from 101 in 2000. Nationwide, Catholic school enrollment decreased 22 percent between 2000 and 2010, according to figures from the National Catholic Education Association. Minneapolis, St. Paul and first-ring suburbs have been hit by declining population and changing demographics, Kane said. Schools in the outer suburbs, like Shakopee, have benefited from the influx of new, young families, she added. SACS’ preschool and school-readiness programs have helped feed enrollment as parents shop around more for schools, Breimhorst said. The school has 102 students in seven preschool programs, including five half-day sections and two full-day kindergarten readiness classes. Adam and Sherie Warpeha opted to send their daughter, now 11, to SACS’ preschool because it was close to their home. Adam, who grew up Catholic, and Sherie, who grew up Lutheran, always assumed they’d send their two kids to public school. But after a year at SACS, they grew to love the religion-based education and atmosphere. SACS’ all-day, every-day kindergarten, which Shakopee Public Schools does not offer, clinched the decision to enroll Mikayla and Tyler, who are now in fifth and third grade respectively, in SACS’ grade school. “Everything about it exceeded my expectations,” Warpeha said. “What they are offering is above and beyond what you typically get at a private school.”
When the Rev. Peter Wittman came to Shakopee in 2008, he told school leaders he wanted no student turned away because of tuition, SACS President Diane Lee recalled. WHY SACS? What attracts families to SACS isn’t hard to define. The faith and values piece is a critical aspect in developing character and strong morals, whether or not students are Catholic, parents said. Today, 10 percent of SACS students are not Catholic, including the Warpeha children — a change from years ago when the school was composed of large Catholic families with old Shakopee names. Similarly, SACS’ diversity has grown beyond farm kids and town kids, Lee said. Seventeen percent of the student body is students of color. SACS, however, does not compromise on its Catholicism either, Lee said. Students start every morning with prayer and participate in a weekly Mass. “As a parent, we want children to grow up and be respectful and treat others well,” said McBeain, who’s had four of her six kids attend SACS. “And that just happens to be a big component of our religion, too.” Parents Tom and Lisa Frank chose SACS not necessarily because of its Catholic values, but because they wanted to ensure their two kids wouldn’t be changing schools every few years. However, after six years at SACS, those reasons have flipflopped, Lisa Frank said. “We really appreciate the religious upbringing that they’re getting … on a day-today basis,” she said. Because of its size, SACS feels like family, Frank said. Parents are encouraged to attend school events and volunteer. “We’ve allowed parents to be involved in our school since preschool,” Breimhorst said. “So students see their faces in the hallways, in the office, in the cafeteria. It’s comforting.” Frank’s kids often comment on how so-so teacher or staff member knows their name, she said. School staff and administrators work hard at knowing kids individually, Lee said. “The one thing that really stands out is the care and attentiveness of the educators,” Warpeha said. As for staff, the school has relatively no turnover, Breimhorst said. “People stay. People get here and they want to stick around.”
SACS: A PARTNER, LEADER What also makes SACS unique is its close ties to the local public school system, Kane said. The schools share resources, curriculum,
transportation and even some classes. The majority of SACS graduates transfer to Shakopee Junior High; only a handful of graduates move on to a Catholic high school, Breimhorst said. That’s special for SACS staff that watch alumni grow and excel at Shakopee High School. High school SACS alums often come back to visit the school and are seen as superstars by the younger SACS students, Breimhorst said. SACS is typically viewed as part of, not apart from, the Shakopee educational system, which speaks volumes for the community as a whole, Lee said. “While there could be a very competitive nature between the two school systems, in a sense they’ve risen above that and put the needs of their children and families first,” Kane noted. “The result then is everybody is happy and all the children are learning.” Shakopee School District Superintendent Rod Thompson agreed. “It’s a beautiful relationship to have, yet it allows for [parent] choices,” he said. “We really are the Shakopee community.” SACS’ growth is starting to gain the archdiocese’s attention. Breimhorst receives regular calls from Catholic school principals looking for advice. In November, he spoke a Minnesota nonpublic school accrediting conference about school marketing. The archdiocese recently used SACS as a photo shoot for its own marketing campaign. “In a lot of ways, they have really been a model for a lot of other schools,” Kane said. While the CEC has room for more students, school leaders are discussing how best to allocate that space. The school’s most pressing space issues center around its special programs, including preschool, special education, music and Spanish, Lee said. But growth is a good problem to have and, like its public school counterparts, one SACS will likely be dealing with for some time to come. Its kindergarten waiting list goes out through 2015-16 (though kids must be born to be put on the list). Right now, the school plans to continue finding ways to better serve its students, teachers and families, all while celebrating and giving thanks for its successes, the leaders said. “Nothing is really small here,” Breimhorst said. “It always feels like you’re a part of something huge.”

KUCERA continued from page 4
She was known to everyone as Minnie — but I knew who she was. She was Mrs. Santa Claus; who else could she be? I asked her once why she thought I addressed her as Mrs. Santa. “Because I’m so fat,” she said with the trademark belly-shaking laugh. “No, that’s not it.” I said laughing with her. Although I guess it was partly true. “No, it’s because you are so happy. “How else should I be?” she asked. Clearly, there was no better alternative. In our talks I found that she had led a busy life. In addition to keeping house at the North Pole she enjoyed gardening, baking, sewing and mending. After the summer ended I went back to college. I never saw her again, but I will never forget her either. Thirty years passed and I found myself back at the nursing home again, this time visiting my father, and

then later, my mother. Often, during these visits we would include another resident in our conversations. It was usually rewarding. Naturally, I met some wonderful people. But, after my folks passed on I quit going to the nursing home, maybe because I wasn’t strong enough to push past the pain, or maybe I was just being selfish and lazy. But that’s going to change. This week I am going back there for a little conversation. There are many people waiting for a visitor to share some time with. We all have someone we know who would love to see us, and if not, there is someone we haven’t met yet in a hospital or a nursing home who would love a visitor. Everyone needs someone to talk to, even Mrs. Santa Claus and her husband. Jerry Kucera of Sand Creek Township owns a Shakopee insurance agency and is a Valley News community columnist.

Persons receiving a public defender are often courtordered to pay back part of the public cost for providing legal representation. Public defenders are required to accept all court appointments. They cannot decline to take a case. It has been estimated that 85 percent to 90 percent of all persons accused of serious criminal offenses in Minnesota are represented by public defenders. Juveniles who are the subject of juvenile delinquency petitions are represented by public defenders about 95 percent of the time. As a result, public defenders are extremely busy. It is estimated that the public defenders in Minnesota handle nearly double the case loads recommended by national standards. Public defense in Minnesota is funded by our taxpayers and through a temporary dedicated
registration fee imposed on all attorneys. The state Board of Public Defense and all the employees it administers — including attorneys, investigators and staff members — are dependent on the funding allocated to it by the state Legislature. Inadequate funding of public defenders would create inequalities that should not be permitted in our system of justice. Consistent with adequate funding, the judicial system has a duty to effectively screen applications and appoint public defenders only for those clients who are eligible. Likewise, the Board of Public Defense has an obligation to ensure the services of our public defenders are delivered in an efficient and cost-effective manner. From a personal standpoint as a trial court judge, the public defenders I see in my court are experienced, dedicated and professional in all respects. Many are attorneys who could likely have a more lucrative and less stressful
career in private practice, yet they have a passion for their work. This is not to take away anything from the fine prosecutors and private counsel who also work with me. However, the public defenders have a particularly difficult task. Their clients are not only poor, but many lack education and skills, have physical or mental disabilities and are addicted to alcohol or drugs. Public defenders regularly deal with difficult clients who oftentimes are under considerable family, economic and personal stress even before they were charged with a crime. Fortunately, most of us will never be charged with a serious crime and be in need of a public defender. Nevertheless, each of us should recognize and support the vital role our public defenders serve in a system designed to provide justice for all. Judge Terrence E. Conkel is assistant chief judge of the 1st Judicial District, which includes Scott County.

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.

The action is linked to a petition regarding the downtown streetscape project. He re signed shortly after joining the committee. The Royal Lichtenstein Circus will present a free performance at 5 p.m. Saturday at Normandale Community College. In its one-hour performance, the circus will feature a lightning-paced potpourri of juggling, comedy, aerial bar antics, magic, music, domestic and exotic trained animal acts and two narrated mime fables. Ethanol information is incorrect…by Sen. Dave Durenberger. At this year’s Minnesota State Fair, several dozen fairgoers stopped to question me about the future of the country’s fuel ethanol industry. Is the future of ethanol threatened…for example, by continuing low gas prices? And what about all the claims that ethanol hurts automobile engines? National security and U.S. economic interests insist that we continue to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of oil.

From the Shakopee Valley News, 1961 Recently the management of the new Minnesota Vikings generously offered high school football players free stadium passes for the professional football games. Immediately, the high school league produced a handy ruling and proclaimed that if a player accepted the Vikings Sunday afternoon hospitality, the player would be considered a professional and ineligible from further high school athletic participation. Stadium tickets are priced at $5 retail. State law in Minnesota requires every municipality to have a Civil Defense program for any natural or man-made emergency to protect the citizens.

of former Shutrop property (a previous farm) along Eagle Creek Boulevard in Shakopee and the 2.5-acre former Stemmer parcel (which contains a house) along Dakota Parkway in Shakopee. The Supreme Court decision Ciliberto believes should guide this latest application is Carcieri vs. Salazar, which involved a Rhode Island case. The court held that Native American land taken into federal trust is limited to tribes recognized and under federal jurisdiction when the Indian Reorganization Act was passed in 1934. “The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community did not become a federally recognized tribe until 1969,” Ciliberto said. “I do know that the difference between federal recognition of a tribe and federal jurisdiction has been questioned by the Sioux community; however, the Department of Interior has gone on record that it interprets federal recognition and federal jurisdiction to be one in the same.” Tribal Administrator Bill Rudnicki — who spoke to the County Board as it weighed commenting on the latest trust applications — shared a contrary opinion. He referenced a 2009 U.S. Interior Department decision on a unopposed 80-acre trust land application by the Shakopee tribe, which he believes shows that the predecessor of the present-day Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community was federally recognized at the time of the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act. “We find that the present-day tribe was previously federally recognized as part of the Lower Sioux Indian Community, which was officially organized under the IRA in 1936. Prior to 1934, the tribe was known as the Mdewakanton Band of Sioux in Minnesota, which entered into several treaties with the federal government,” Rudnicka said, recounting the letter. C om m i s sione r B a rb a r a Marschall of Prior Lake — who with the rest of the County Board approved a letter opposing the land-trust applications — questions the tribe’s need for additional trust land, as well as the loss of property taxes. “Much of which is in the draft letters are things we have discussed in the past,” Marschall said. “I think they are still valid points… Is [lost

EDINA REALTY FOUNDATION AWARDS GRANTS Foundation Supports Homeless-Related Causes Shakopee, Minn.-December 9, 2011 The Edina Realty Foundation, which supports homeless related causes throughout Minnesota, western Wisconsin and Fargo, N.D., has awarded the following grants:
Southern Valley Alliance for Battered Women Spare Key $1,000
Southern Valley Alliance for Battered Women - $1,000
A large portion of grant money came directly from the REALTORS® of Edina Realty’s Shakopee sales office as well as from Edina Realty itself. In addition, Edina Realty agents and employees hold events throughout the year that help raise additional contributions. A non-profit organization, the Edina Realty Foundation was created in 1996 to support organizations that help homeless children and families in the markets in which Edina Realty does business. “Our primary business is helping people buy and sell their homes. But there are many people in our community that are not as fortunate,” said Gail Haering, Edina Realty Shakopee sales office foundation representative. “We believe it’s our responsibility to help people for whom housing is a major issue in their lives, and we are proud to donate both our time and our money to these worthy organizations.” The Edina Realty Foundation, founded in 1996, provides financial support to organizations that provide housing and related services, such as counseling and medical care, to homeless children, families and individuals. To date the Foundation has raised more than $5.7 million. For more information about the Edina Realty Foundation, visit www.edinarealty.com. Every night in Minnesota, about 7,000 individuals receive shelter from homeless service providers, according to surveys conducted by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Due to inadequate resources, another 1,000 individuals are turned away from shelters every night. Wilder Research Center’s “Homeless in Minnesota 2003” estimated that during that year, the number of homeless and precariously housed persons in Minnesota exceeded 20,000, including over 10,000 children. Over 40 percent of homeless adults are employed.
About The Edina Realty Foundation
The Edina Realty Foundation is a non-for-profit, private foundation supported through donated funds and volunteer time by Edina Realty sales associates, employees, and the Edina Realty Home Services. The Foundation offers financial support to non-profit organizations that provide housing and related services to homeless families throughout Minnesota, western Wisconsin and Fargo, N.D.

ment meetings — since McNeil produces most of the shows. In addition to no longer lending video cameras from the Community Center front desk, the city would quit accepting prog ra m mi ng on mi ni-DV tapes, which take more time to load onto the system than the DVDs some residents turn in. A more than $30,000 mobile camera studio that has probably been used a handful of times would also be donated or sold. A rarely used editing suite would be removed from the city’s former cable studio, which was converted into a fitness studio in recent years. Rather than replace the city’s three mini-DV cameras with a DVD-enabled camera, city staff propose scrapping the loan program all together. While regrettable, Assistant City Administrator Kris Wilson painted the move as an idea whose time may have come, given the ability to self-publish online and low usage of public access equipment. In a city of 37,000 residents, only 13 individuals checked out cameras last year. Six of them submitted at least one show. “I can’t even calculate what percentage of our population those numbers are,” Wilson said. City Telecommunications Coordinator John Peterson, in an interview, estimated that only one to two of the local producers submit their productions on mini-DVs, which will no longer be accepted. The remaining shows — including taped church services — are submitted on DVDs, he said. “[The two church services] are probably the ones we get the most calls about if for some reason they don’t air at normal times. They have a following,” Wilson said. “We can continue to meet a variety of those needs at a much reduced cost if we don’t do the equipment checkout.” Unlike other communities — such as northern Dakota County, which pools the cable access capabilities of multiple cities — it appears unlikely Sha-
ta x revenue] the most significant issue? Maybe not, but there are impacts on our community regarding development which have to be looked at.” Commissioner Jon Ulrich of Savage said he is trying to balance his desire to continue the positive working relationship with the tribe and the responsibility to clarify what the law of the land is on land-trust applications.
TRUST APPLICATION The land-trust applications would bring about half of the more than 2,500 acres of tribal land into federal trust, Scott County Administrator Gary Shelton said. Tribal ordinances only allow for land acquisition within one-mile of the reservation. “That’s why you don’t see us applying for land in Jordan or Belle Plaine,” Rudnicki said. “So you don’t have to worry, Commissioner [Joe] Wagner.” Wagner represents the Jordan area. The subject lands include organic gardens, as well as a third of the acreage on which the tribe grows native grasses for its biomass energy facility. Taking the property into trust would meet “critical tribal needs,” including energy diversity, the tribe cites in its application. “The tribe cannot fulfi ll its responsibilities as a sovereign government unless it has jurisdiction over the land and resources required to meet these responsibilities,” the tribe notes. In its response to the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs, the county argues the property isn’t essential for the tribe’s economic success — noting the tribe has managed to invest in a wind turbine, Koda Energy and a 380-acre biomass energy project renewable wit hout the added advantage of trust status. “In effect, SMSC asserts that whenever a tribe acquires land, the IRA mandates that the tribe must exercise complete sovereignty over that property to avoid the need to work within the ‘complex interaction of local, state, tribal and federal reg u lations,’ ” wrote County Board Chair Tom Wolf. “Hence, all Indianowned land should be trust land. Clearly, such an interpretation of the act would make the trust acquisition criteria meaningless.” The act was intended to “‘rehabilitate the Indian’s economic life and to give him a chance to develop the initiative destroyed by a century of kopee, P rior Lake and Savage would join together in the n e a r f ut u r e because they have franchise ag reements with different providers and Don expiration McNeil dates, Wilson explained. Amid city budget preparations, Wilson presented the cost-saving proposal to the city’s Telecommunications Advisory Commission this summer. The commission opted to neither endorse nor oppose the measure. The city has attempted advertising the opportunity for local show production in the newspaper, on the public access channel and in the city’s recreation brochure and utility bills. “We’ve tried all reasonable steps to increase participation,” Wilson said. “I think trends in society are turning against us.” McNeil, a former telecommunications commissioner, believes the city could have reached out more to its immigrant populations, which may be interested in producing non-English programming, or encouraged students to produce school news segments. An estimated $8,500 in operational savings are expected from tape purchases, staff time uploading mini-DV-based productions and internal charges for the share of Community Center staf f time. The city would avoid another $20,000 to $25,000 in outlays over the next four years for not having to replace cameras. By now longer accepting mini-DVs, the city anticipates shaving three of the nine hours a part-time public access station employee currently puts in each week. T he video equipment — which includes tripods, microphones and light kits — would likely be offered to city staff, the school district and other cable access channels before being publicly auctioned off on eBay. The cost-saving measure was proposed at the bequest of
oppression and paternalism,’” said the county. Not having the property in trust needlessly complicates land management, the tribe argues, citing how it has to seek permission from the city of Shakopee to upgrade McKenna Road, which serves tribal members. McKenna Road is important to the public as well, providing access to the YMCA and Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church, the county responds. “Any restriction on the city’s or county’s ability to acquire necessary right-of-way … would present an inordinate encumbrance,” Wolf wrote.
CITIES WAIT TO COMMENT While praising the tribe’s efforts in organics recycling and other areas, County Commissioner Dave Menden of Shakopee expressed concern about tribal property coming off local tax rolls. “I feel we have a working relationship with you people, and I’d like to keep it that way,” Menden said. In addition to not being subject to property tax, land placed in federal trust is longer subject to the zoning and land-use authority of non-tribal local governments. “I don’t think in the tribe’s case this is as much about dollars,” Shelton said. “They have plans for their land, they are good stewards of their land and they would like to have control over their land. That’s really what it boils down to.” The tribe pays approximately $623,000 in property taxes on non-trust property. This is on top of voluntary contributions it makes annually: $280,000 to Scott County and $380,000 to Prior Lake. Rudnicki reminded Menden of the tribe’s assistance on various local projects, and Shelton expanded on these partnerships. The tribe has contributed nearly $18 million in intergovernmental aid since 1996. In 2009, it paid $15.3 million to local vendors and $70.6 million in payroll to county residents. The cities of Prior Lake and Shakopee are requesting more time to comment on the applications, Shelton said. Not only do the cities have new elected officials that want to get up to speed on the landtrust issue, but they may have different opinions on landtrust than their predecessors, Shelton explained. The tribe also has a primary election on Dec. 13 for its business council, which could reshape its leadership team. the City Council, staff said. But in the mind of McNeil, it is pennies compared to how much the city rakes in annually in cable fees. He also believes the Telecommunications Commission — which he said previously had more budgetary authority — squandered dollars in the past, such as $35,000 on the three-camera portable studio and rent for a cable studio that was barely used. In addition to a 5 percent cut of Comcast’s gross revenue — around $350,000 per year — the city assesses a 40-cent PEG (Public, Educational and Government) fee to cable bills. Approximately 45 percent of the city residences subscribes to cable. The franchise fee can be deposited into the city’s general coffers, but the PEG fees can only be spent on public accessrelated items, such as the new camera system recently outfitted in City Council chambers. Although the city has fi nally lit up the educational channel for use by the school district, McNei l believes the school district should have received PEG fees in the past for the high school TV studio and other equipment. After 25 years of contributions to local public access, McNeil has decided to wrap it up. His wife encouraged him to give it a rest if the city is going to take away his tools to produce. “I have no other options other than buying a camera we can’t afford,” he said. This means the end of the bulk of city events aired on local cable. Locally produced programs on the three channels are supplemented with programming from other communities, however. If approved by the City Council, the last day cameras could be checked out will be Dec. 28. Equipment would be required back Jan. 2. Peterson, now a full-time telecommunication coordinator, will share his time with the city’s information technology department beginning in 2012. This may require him to reduce the frequency of a Police Department TV program he produces quarterly for the city, according to city staff. Shannon Fiecke

SHAKOPEE WRESTLING
Dominating performance Grapplers crown four champions at own invite BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com
If the start of the wrestling season was good for Shakopee, then last week made it great. The Shakopee wrestling team improved to 6-0 on the season and won its second tournament in as many weekends. The Sabers defeated Richfield/Edina 66-6 at home on Friday before running away with the nine-team Shakopee Invite title on Saturday. At the invite, the Sabers sent seven wrestlers to the fi nals on their way to the win. They fi nished with 210.5 points to distance themselves from Rosemount (184.5), Rochester Mayo (145.5) and Bloomington Kennedy (137). “Our team had a fantastic tournament,” head coach Mark Neu said. Of the seven wrestlers who reached the finals, four won their match for the title. The first title came at 113 pounds where eighth-grader Owen Webster was the victor. He pinned Josh Farr of Prescott, Wis., in the title match. To get to the title match he topped the No. 10-ranked wrestler in the
state, Dan Rosa of Rosemount, 10-6. Jack Edberg followed that up by winning the 126-pound division. He pinned Paul Hansen of Prescott in 47 seconds to win the championship. Junior Patrick Casey earned his 100th career win when he defeated Rochester Mayo’s Brady Nelson 19-7 in the title match of the 138-pound division. Casey pinned Jonah Allen of Blaine and earned a technical fall against Nick Foss of Lakeville South to reach the championship match. The fi nal Shakopee title was earned by heavyweight Corey Anderson. Anderson won two matches by default and the third one by pin fall. Tanner Hennen finished second at 132 pounds when he lost 8-3 to the ninth-ranked Steve Levine of Rosemount. He reached the fi nals with two technical falls. At 160 pounds, Sam Hall fi nished second when he lost 13-2 to Rosemount’s Adam Jackson, the second-ranked wrestler in the state. Hall pinned Nick Zellmer of Lakeville South and Jimmy Kittleson of Blaine to reach the fi nals. Scott Bode fell to secondranked Tom Peterson of Lakeville South 10-4 in the championship of the 195-pound division. “S c ot t w re st le d a g re at match,” Neu said.

Other place winners for the Sabers were Michael Wagner, Jacob Glynn, Owen Theis, Alex Denis and Alex Coleman. Wagner and Glynn fi nished third at 145 and 170 pounds, respectively while Theis was fourth at 182, Denis fifth at 220 and Coleman sixth at 120 pounds. The Shakopee junior varsity also crowned Brad Born, Kendall Belcher, Max Theis, Aaron Clausen, Ben Montean and Ryan Snyder champions.
PERFECT DUAL RECORD The Sabers improved to 6-0 in dual meets when they had little trouble with the combined program of Richfield and Edina. The Sabers got pins from Webster, Edberg, Hennen, Hall, Bode and Denis in the win.

That sti f ling defense allowed the visiting Sabers to rally from eight points down at halftime and get the threepoint win. Shakopee trailed 27-19 at halftime but held the Jaguars to just 12 second-half points to pull out the victory.
“They [Jefferson] went a little cold but that had something to do with our defense,” Mitchell said. “We pretty much controlled the second half.” Jefferson’s strength is its guard play and to try to neutralize that strength Mitchell decided to start out in a zone defense in an effort to keep the Jaguar guards from penetrating. That plan backfi red as the guards just stepped back and started hitting threes. Jefferson hit four three-pointers in the fi rst five minutes of the game, giving it a big lead. A fter that Mitchell went to a man-to-man defense that
slowed down Jefferson’s outside shooting and gave Shakopee a chance to get back into the game. The Sabers did just enough on offense to get the win. “Our offense wasn’t smooth but we did enough and started making shots in the second half,” Mitchell said. Senior Rachel Boegeman led the way with 11 points for the Sabers. It was a big win for the Sabers as they got the sour taste out of their mouths from losing their fi rst game of the season last Friday at Waconia. “It was a nice win considering how Friday went,” Mitch-

SPORTS BRIEF
Second-half problems Young hoops team struggling play two halves BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com
With such a young team, Shakopee boys basketball head coach Bruce Kugath knew that the Sabers would struggle to start the season. He was right. Shakopee opened the 20112012 season with two doubledigit losses to Owatonna and Woodbury. The season started with the Sabers traveling to Owatonna last T hu rsday and coming home with a 57-41 loss. Two days later, Shakopee lost at Woodbury, 62-46. “Two very similar games,” Kugath said. “Our inexperience really shows. When things start to unravel, they unravel fast. I saw definite improvement from game one to game two.” In each game, Shakopee played a very good first half only to see things fall apart in the second half. Against Owatonna, the Sa-
bers led with a minute to go in the fi rst half but went into the locker room trailing by four, 27-23. The second half was all Owatonna as its full-court pressure got to the Sabers. Owatonna outscored Shakopee 30-18 in the second half. S ophomore T yler Wei ss scored 12 points to lead the Sabers in the loss. Against Woodbury, the Sabers only trailed by six, 33-27, but went cold in the second half to lose by 16. Shakopee only scored 19 points in the second half. Weiss led the team with 12 points. Turning the ball over has been Shakopee’s biggest problem as it has committed 48 turnovers in two games — 27 against Owatonna and 21 against Woodbury. In comparison, Shakopee has only forced 19 turnovers in the fi rst two games. “Our guards have been turning the ball over too much,” Kugath said. “They need to handle the pressure much better.” The Sabers return to the court on Friday when they host Waconia. They travel to Bloomington Jefferson on Tuesday. “Not a lot to say,” Kugath said. “We will get better.”
from the field and struggled from the free-throw line. “When you shoot that bad it’s going to be tough to win,” Mitchell said.
Despite the cold shooting, Shakopee only trailed by four points with three minutes left in the game. The Sabers’ shooting never came around and Waconia pulled out the victory. Hanna Zerr scored 26 in the loss. The week started with Shakopee’s defense leading the way in a 34-18 win against Robbinsdale Armstrong last Thursday night at home. “It was ugly offensively for both teams,” Mitchell said. The Sabers’ defense held Armstrong to seven fi rst-half points as they jumped out to a 23-7 halftime lead.

With only two wins after their fi rst 10 games, it’s been a frustrating start for the Shakopee girls hockey team. Even with the slow start, head coach Matt Klein is upbeat about his team and its future. “We are coming off a week of probably our best hockey to date,” he said. Even t hou g h it wa s t he team’s best hockey, it didn’t produce a win. The Sabers lost 5-1 to the No. 2-ranked team in the state, Benilde-St. Margaret’s, and tied Chaska/Chanhassen 3-3. The score against Benilde is misleading, Klein said, as the Knights scored three thirdperiod goals to pull away from the Sabers. Benilde held a 2-0 lead after two periods but JoJo Lindstrom scored at 1:42 of the third for the Sabers to get back in the game.

of the third. Lauren Hespenheide scored twice and Anna Kubes once for the Sabers. Flood stopped 42 shots in the tie.

After getting blown out of the playoffs last year by Prior Lake, Klein wanted to toughen up the regular-season schedule to be better prepared for the playoffs. He did that by scheduling games against Benilde, Wayzata, Jefferson and Cretin-Derham Hall. Klein said that even though the team’s record is suffering because of the beefed-up schedule, it is helping. “We are going to see the benefits of this in the next few weeks,” Klein said. “We are going to be a much better hockey team at the end of the season.” With only 14 games left in the season, now is the time to turn it around.

Finish doesn’t reflect team’s performance Swimmers seventh at Prior Lake Invite BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com
If you just look at the standings, it would appear the Shakopee boys swim team opened the season with a poor meet. Head coach Eric Hills doesn’t agree with that. The Sabers started the season by finishing last at the Prior Lake Invite but came away feeling good about themselves. Shakopee ended with 190 points, for seventh out of seven teams. Prior Lake won the meet with 478 followed by CretinDerham Hall’s 392. “We took seventh out of seven but had an incredible meet,” Hills said. “We were not far behind White Bear Lake or Apple Valley.” White Bear Lake finished just ahead of Shakopee with 198 points. Apple Valley was fi fth
with 214 points. The best swim by a Shakopee athlete was turned in by Jamie Smith in the 10 0 freestyle. Smith set a school record by fi nishing with a time of 52.95 seconds. That time put him in fourth place. Smith also finished eighth in the 100 backstroke I n d ivi n g, Jo e Edwa rd s fi nished fi fth with a score of 239.75. The biggest surprise in the meet was the performance of Alex Goblish. He shattered his personalbest times in the 500 freestyle and the 100 backstroke. He swam 6 minutes, 1.5 seconds in the 500 and a 1:12.35 in the backstroke. Vandon Duong earned two top-10 fi nishes as he was eighth in the 100 butterfly and ninth in the 200 individual medley. Sha kopee’s ot her top -10 finishes were turned in by Mason Myers in the 50 free and Kaleb Olsen in the 100 breaststroke.

What a difference a week can make. Last week, the Shakopee boys hockey team was feeling good about itself after winning two games. This week, it’s the complete opposite for the Sabers after losing two straight games. Shakopee traveled to Hutchinson on Tuesday last week and came away with a 4-2 loss to its former conference foe.
Two days later, Shakopee had its fi rst home game of the season and lost 4-1 to Robbinsdale Cooper. “Both were frustrating,” head coach Lee Engstrom said. “We had some sick kids and kids out with injuries which never helps. In addition, we were a bit snake-bitten and had trouble scoring in those particular games. Hopefully we are starting to get healthy and a full lineup and start to put together 51 solid minutes. When we do that we will see the results we want.” In the Cooper loss, the Sabers had trouble generating any kind of offense for the fi rst two periods. Those struggles allowed Cooper to build a 2-0 lead by the start of the third period.
In the fi nal period, Shakopee finally generated some offense and cut the lead to 2-1 when Sam Scott scored at 5:28 of the period. Andrew Long and Cullen Sievek assisted on the goal. Three minutes later Cooper pushed the lead back up to two and iced the game away with a goal with two seconds left. Shakopee only got 11 shots on net in the fi rst two periods. In the third the Sabers had nine shots on net. Against Hutchinson, the Tigers jumped out to a 4-0 lead and cruised from there. Hutchinson scored late in the fi rst for a 1-0 lead and then scored three goals in three minutes in the second period to go up 4-0.
The Sabers’ Zak Hoffman cut the lead to 4-1 at 10:25 of the second to keep hopes alive. When Ben Jasper scored at 1:49 of the third, the thoughts of a comeback were real. But Hutch clamped down and didn’t allow that to happen. The second period was really the Sabers’ downfall as they allowed the Tigers to fire 21 shots on goalie Sean Surbaugh. I n t he ga me, Su rbau g h stopped 40 shots while Hutchinson’s Kellyn Buss stopped 23 shots. Shakopee could not take advantage of its power-play chances in the loss. The Sabers were 0-5 for the power play, including a short five-on-three man advantage in the first period.

Distinctive Destinations Looking for an exotic travel adventure, or at least an uncommon vacation destination? Here are five top picks for 2011 from Stacey Wittig, who writes the travel blog Vagabonding Lulu.
Five hot tipss for cool tripss Story and photos by Stacey Wittig
Tanzania: Safari; Zanzibar: Beach Holiday Experience the wonders of Africa’s wildlife by hot-air balloon. Get an up-close view of wildebeest herds pushing across the Serengeti, zebras zigzagging through endless grasses and elephants bathing in wadis. Go wild on a walking or vehicle safari and then sleep tight in your deluxe safari tent.
Tanzanian safaris take you deep nto African into landscapes.

After witnessing the largest mass movement of mammals on the planet (say that five times), fly to Zanzibar, Tanzania’s “Spice Island” (see photo, page 10). Here on the Indian Ocean’s white sands, cultures have collided for centuries. Stay in exotic Stone Town where Arab harems danced for sultans, Indian spice merchants left splendid architecture and Dr. Livingstone (I presume) began his last journey into the Swahili mainland. Or stay at a beach resort for some of the world’s best scuba diving. www.adventuresinafrica.com.
Hike Peru’s Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
High Li Living Along Peru’s Ancient Pathways Adventure travelers love the trek to Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas,” for its blend of l action, rugged beauty and lavish pampering. What do you call a four-day backpacking trip where polite porters carry your pa pack, learned chefs prepare exotic local foods, and hot wine is served at an fee above sea level? Vagabonding Lulu calls it “Gucci Camping.” alpine viewpoint 11,742 feet
A BOAT SHOW DOWN!
The remote ruins, a UNESCO UNE World Heritage Site, can be reached by train, but the hardy – may th road less traveled, the Inca Trail. Acclimate for altitude in Cusco I add fool-hardy? – prefer the with a three-day stay at the lavish Hotel Monasterio, a former monastery dating from 1592. As the oldest inhabited city of the New World, Cusco will charm you with its Spanish Colonial churches, artisan selling crafts from arcades full of history. www.mayuk.com.
