SPRING LAKE REGIONAL PARK

First phase - Spring Lake Regional Park

After 40 years, development to begin Shakopee gets dog park — in Prior Lake BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

What the city of Shakopee could not accomplish, Scott County is. An off-leash dog park — long desired by Shakopee residents — will be constructed this summer in the first phase of development at Spring Lake Regional Park, which is located near the southernmost city border across from Mystic Lake Casino. Although it may be a bit shorter drive for some dog owners to Staring

Lake Park in Eden Prairie, Spring Lake will be the closest off-leash dog area for much of Shakopee. It will also be the closest dog park to the city border. An open house will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. today at Prior Lake City Hall for the public to review park development plans, which are 40 years in coming.

DECADES OF WAITING Since the late 1960s, Scott County has held land between Upper Prior Lake and Spring Lake for a future regional park. Other than old foot paths and modern trails grazed by a snowmobile club, the land has remained fallow and largely unused by the public. Purchased to provide habitat, pro-

tect natural resources and enhance outdoor recreational opportunities, the development of Spring Lake Regional Park has waited as future county boards focused on acquiring park land first throughout the county. Now, six years after a master plan was created to guide development of the park, the county finally has the dollars to allow general public use, thanks to state Legacy constitutional amendment funds. “This is finally happening after 40 years,” said Scott County Parks Manager Mark Themig. This summer, the county plans to construct the first phase of the park: a 3-mile paved trail network, off-leash dog area and parking/restrooms. It

will also undertake natural resource restoration activities, like buckthorn removal. In addition, County Road 81/Howard Lake Road will be removed from County Road 12 north but remain in place from County Road 82 to serve residents on the northwest side of the park and access a parking area within the park. The estimated cost for initial development is $1.3 million, which includes design, construction and administration. Residents are invited to review the plans and provide feedback at tonight’s open house at Prior Lake City Hall,

First Avenue. The building, however, lacks parking and the landlord is in a dispute with former tenant, Scott County, regarding mold, according information provided by Whitbeck. Yarusso’s is also not interested in financing the necessary build-out. Lease terms between the buildings are relatively competitive, Whitbeck said. However, with Shakopee Town Square’s willingness to finance the construction build-out in the lease agreement and its set fixed renewal rates, it became the most attractive

Software engineer Suresh Nair, an India native, was blazing new ground when made a run for City Council last year, and he hoped to pave the way for other immigrants to get more involved. Although Nair was unsuccessful in his bid for elective office, he is helping bridge the gap he talked about. Nair has started a growing Asian Community in Shakopee Facebook group, where he posts city news, and last week was appointed to the city’s Telecommunications Advisory Commission. Shakopee Mayor Brad Tabke hopes to see more Suresh Nairs. Along with the city’s 80 percent growth last decade, its percentage of people of color tripled. Today, one in every four Shakopee residents is nonwhite (nonHispanic). But these minority groups aren’t participating in the same numbers. “We need to get that segment of the population involved,” Tabke commented during last week’s City Council meeting, noting the small number of minority applicants for advisory panels. To that end, the city of Shakopee is partnering with the Shakopee School District to put on its first-ever diversity summit March 22 at City Hall. The idea stems from a letter Shakopee Public Schools Cultural Liaison Mary Hernandez sent Tabke when she read an article in which both mayoral candidates talked about the minority

City plans first-ever diversity summit

After 41 years, the longest-serving city employee will retire here’s a good chance if you’ve done business with the city of Shakopee in the past 41 years, you’ve met City Clerk Judy Cox. Cox, who came to work for the city during the age of typewriters and carbon copies, leaves as the city has computerized its records. She leaves beyond a wealth of knowledge as the city’s longestserving employee. “The city is losing somebody who knows her way through just about everything in the city,” said former Shakopee Mayor John Schmitt, whose dealings with Cox went back to his time on the Planning

It also provides the opportunity for partnership with the Minnesota School of Business and is just down the corridor from Minnesota River Valley Special Education Cooperative’s Transitions program. “We’re very excited about the possibility of that happening,” Minnesota School of Business Campus Director Bruce Christman said Tuesday. “It makes sense because we have similar missions... I think it would be a great fit.” The School Board had also been looking at the similar-sized, former Yarusso’s Hardware building on

WE WANT YOUR …

emergency care

Outstanding winter photos “I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape …” wrote Andrew Wyeth, the 20th century American artist. Indeed, our leafless surroundings and the other changes that come with winter offer their own special allure. So, we’re interested in seeing your winter photos. Sure, it’s been a mostly brown winter, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some good seasonal photos to be had. We’re looking for frosted landscape photos, pictures of families building snowmen or snow forts, and images of children playing on the ice or in the (few inches of) snow. Use your imagination and show us how much winter fun there can be in the southwest metro area.

The Shakopee School District will say goodbye to another district-level administrator this summer. The School Board accepted Special Services Director Kathy McKay’s letter of retirement Monday. McKay, who has been with the district 10 years, says this is the right time to step aside. “I just thought would be a good year for someone new to get their feet on the ground,” she said, noting the district’s building transitions and offyear in state special education monitoring in 2012-13. Originally from New Prague, McKay has been an educator 41 years, teaching in Wisconsin, South Dakota and southern Minnesota. After earning her master’s deg ree in specia l education and early childhood, McKay worked in the Lakefield (Minn.) School District and for the Root River Education District in Harmony, Minn., where

she became a special education director. She spent two years in Rochester before moving to Shakopee in 2002. As special services director, McKay is responsible for t he dis trict’s special education Kathy services and McKay eva lu at ion s, as well as its health services, Indian education coordinator, homebound instruction, homeless students and early childhood screening. It’s a job that’s never been boring, McKay said at Monday’s board meeting. “Ever y chi ld that walks through our district has a different story I’ve had to learn,” she said. School Board Member Angela Tucker, whose junior high-

age son receives special education services, thanked McKay during the meeting. “You’ve definitely made an impact in our family’s life,” she said. The 62-year-old said the decision to retire was difficult, but tired of the 60-hour work weeks, she is looking forward to something more part-time, likely still in education. Special education and specia l ser vices have become more laden with state and federal rules and regulations over the years, McKay said, which means much more paperwork for staff. While she won’t miss that, she’s had a lot of fun with her co-workers. “I’ll miss all these great people that I work with, that’s what’s made [the decision] so hard,” she said. “My time here in Shakopee has been fantastic.” McKay’s retirement is effective Aug. 1.

SCHOOL BOARD BRIEFS At its regular meeting M o n d a y, t h e S h a k o p e e School Board:  Accepted letters of resignation from David Hotzler, custodian, Shakopee High School; Valissa Maas, special services; Heather Borgen, assistant volleyball coach; Brandon Williams, assistant boys golf coach; Michael Ceola, head varsity girls soccer coach; and Donnat Courteau, golf middle school and junior high boys.  Accepted letters of retirement from Peggy Hochhalter, administrative assistant, Jackson Elementary, and Kathy McKay, special services director.

 Approved long-term substitute contracts with Jody Tor nquist, replacing Karla O’Brien, special services, Central Family Center; Rebecca Young, replacing Karen Wing, special services, Shakopee High School; and Theresa Steffen, replacing Andrea Storlie, first grade, Red Oak Elementary.  Approved non-certified contracts with Terry Kosse, food service worker, Shakopee Middle School, and Catlin Soukup, building supervisor.  Approved a co-curricular assignment for Donnat Courteau, varsity girls assistant golf coach.  Expressed condolences to

PUBLIC SAFETY

Man gets 33 months for attacking woman It’s swift justice for a young man who tried t o su f fo c at e and stab his girlfriend who was trying to leave him. Clarence Joseph Gi l l Clarence J r. , 2 0 , w a s Gill, Jr. sentenced in Scott County District Court March 7 to 33 months in prison by Judge Rex Stacey for a November attack at the couple’s residence in Shakopee. He pleaded guilty to felony second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon while two other charges were dismissed. Gill’s girlfriend was on the phone with a women’s shelter on Nov. 28, trying to get him removed from her home, when Gill came home early from work mad, having been unable to reach her on the phone. He entered the locked house through a window. Gill threatened the woman with a large kitchen knife and held a bleach-smothered hat to her mouth, according to court documents. He also attempted suffocating her with pillows, and made stabbing motions at her, instead stabbing a nearby couch. The woman managed to end the attack when she wrestled

the knife away and swung it at Gill, penetrating his back deep enough to lacerate his kidney.

Man charged with possessing child porn Zachary Andrew Bruder, 31, of Shakopee has been charged with two felony counts of child pornography possession. In April, undercover officers with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force used peer-to-peer computer software to determine that someone, later identified as Bruder, had 69 files of suspected child pornography. The files include video of a toddler girl performing a sex act on a man. In July, Shakopee police detectives executed a search warrant at Bruder’s boarding house on the 600 block of Jackson Street South. Bruder admitted downloading chi ld por nog raphy out of “curiosity” and watching videos of 4- to 5-year-old girls engaged in sexual activity with adult males, according to the criminal complaint. He told detectives the youngest child he viewed was 2 years old. Files from Bruder’s computer were identified by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to include video from four series of known child victims.

Comments taken on interchange Anyone interested in reviewing and commenting on the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the proposed Highway 169/County Road 69 interchange project in Shakopee can do so starting Monday, March 19 through Wednesday, April 18. The EAW includes information on environmental effects of the project including potentially contaminated properties, storm-water quality and quantity, and traffic noise. The project as proposed will replace the existing at-grade Highway 169/County Road 69 intersection near Shakopee with a full access, grade-separated “folded diamond” interchange with a loop in the southeast quadrant and a bridge spanning County Road 69 over Highway 169. County Road 69 will be reconstructed as a fourlane divided roadway between approximately Colburn Drive and 115th Street. The project also includes a storm-water pond and filtration, a proposed 20-foot-high noise barrier on the north side of County Road 69 along the Stone Meadow Townhome development, and a

multiuse trail along both sides of County Road 69. Copies of the EAW will be available for public review on the project’s web site www. scottcounty69and169.com/ and at the following locations:  Scott County Government Center, 200 Fourth Ave. W., Shakopee.  Shakopee City Hall, 129 Holmes St. S., Shakopee.  MnDOT Metro Office, 1500 W. County Road B2, Roseville.  Shakopee Public Library, 235 Lewis St. S.  Comments on the EAW can be sent by letter to: Rick Dalton, MnDOT Environmental Coordinator, 1500 West County Road B2, Mailstop 050, Roseville, MN 55113. Comments may also be emailed to richard.dalton@ state.mn.us.

Couple guilty in limo driver assault BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

A Shakopee couple, who authorities say helped beat up their driver last November after he told one of them not to smoke in a limousine, has pleaded guilty in the downtown Minneapolis assault. Elizabeth Tasinnasapewin Brewer, 24, and Chevis James Miller, 25, were originally charged with felony thirddegree assault, but pleaded guilty Feb. 14 to a lesser grossmisdemeanor charge of stalking. They are each out on $60,000 bond and will be sen-

tenced April 3 in Hennepin County District Court. The pair (who share an address) was actually part of a group of four involved in the assault, but the two were identified as regulars at Downtown Cabaret by security guards, including one who used to be their concierge for the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community reservation, according to criminal complaints. A limo driver was flagged down at 2:30 a.m. to give the intoxicated group a ride after the four were kicked out of the strip club for being dis-

orderly. A drunken Miller got into the front seat, grabbed the driver’s lighter and was told he couldn’t smoke in the limo. The group became verbally agressive, so the limo driver got out and told them to leave. He was hit in the head and then jumped and repeatedly punched by the entire group, the driver later told police. Brewer scratched the driver’s eyes and face until being pulled off by a security guard, witnesses said. The group left in a taxi. The driver, who showed up at the police station with

facial cuts and a swollen eye, drove himself to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with an orbital bone fracture of his right eye and facial contusions and abrasions. Miller, whom a security guard heard say, “I cracked him one,” told detectives the driver aggressively removed him from the vehicle and he probably then hit the driver in his chest or face. Brewer, who cou ld only remember some other events of the night, did not recall being at the Downtown Cabaret Club or involved in a physical altercation.

Vise-throwing suspect arrested here BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

Gerret Parks

Scott County deputies arrested the Bloomington vise-throwing suspect, Gerret Parks, at his sister’s home in New Prague on Wednesday last week. Parks, who was accused of throwing objects at vehicles in Bloomington, was delivered to the Bloomington Police Department and booked into the Hennepin County Jail,

according to Scott County Sheriff’s staff. Parks had been at-large since charged the previous day with “throwing objects ranging from a box of baking soda to gallon water jugs and something resembling an anvil” along Normandale Boulevard in Bloomington this winter, reported the Star Tribune. On Sunday, Parks posted bail in Hennepin County, before he was charged. That night, Parks was

arrested in Polk County, Wis., for suspected drunken driving and fighting with police. He was bailed out of jail the next day. According to Minnesota Public Radio, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office issued an arrest warrant for Parks’ arrest for further charges in the highway throwing incidents. Parks surrendered peacefully at 10:45 p.m. Wednesday night in New Prague, Scott County Sheriff Kevin Studnicka told the Star Tribune.

Mom is charged with malicious punishment Iris Christina Graham, a 27-year-old Shakopee mother of four, has been charged with two felony counts of malicious punishment of a child, including one count for having a recent domestic abuse conviction. In late January, a child protection worker interviewed Graham’s elementary schoolaged daughter, who came to school with a small bruise under her left eye, swollen cheek bone and scratches on

her cheek, neck and arm. According to court documents, the girl said her mother assaulted her because she went shopping the night before when Graham wasn’t home. The girl received permission from her grandmother to go, but when Graham returned and found her daughter missing, she called police. After police left, the girl alleges Graham punched her in the eye and nose, pressed her

hands around the girl’s throat and tore her shirt collar. Later, Graham apologized and said “pinky swear I will never do this again,” the girl recounted. The girl said her mother only reluctantly let her attend school the next morning and told her not to talk to anyone about what happened. A Scott County child protection official previously counseled the family, but Graham

continued to spank her and younger sib-lings with belts, the girl said. Graham initially told police her daughter was “scratched by a cat,” but then cried and said, “Yeah, things got out of control last night. I get mad at her when she doesn’t follow rules. I won’t get mad at her again.” Graham is on probation for a May 2011 conviction of misdemeanor domestic assault in Hennepin County.

commentary EDITORIAL

Bill would close wording loophole used by board The outrage is understandable and justified. The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Board recently paid its former human resources director, Tania Chance, a whopping $255,000 to resign her post, and neither Chance nor the board is willing or able to say anything about the reasons. Chance was hired by the district in 2010 and the buyout covers the remaining 18 months on her contract. Why? If it were up to the School Board, we’d never know. The board members said they were not allowed to reveal more information on the separation under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. (That stand is in dispute by some Minnesota newspapers.) The news media were provided with a copy of the official board action, but with several items of information redacted. Fortunately, ThisWeek Newspapers in Burnsville obtained a full copy from an unknown source without any information omitted. It revealed that Chance had filed complaints against School Superintendent Randy Clegg with the Minnesota Human Rights Department and the Minnesota Board of Administrators. Under the settlement between Chance and the School Board, the charges were dropped and neither side could discuss them. The action has left school district residents angry, and for good reason: An outrageously large amount of taxpayer money was spent for an unknown reason. To add fuel to the fire, the School Board is using a twisted interpretation of state law to withhold the information. Under the state’s Data Practices Act, any settlements with public employees over disputes must include specific reasons if the payment involved ex-

The action has left school district residents angry, and for good reason: An outrageously large amount of taxpayer money was spent for an unknown reason. ceeds $10,000 in public money. That seems clear enough. However, attorneys for public bodies have found what they believe is a way to skirt the law: they contend that since a settlement has been reached, there is no longer a “dispute” and so the provisions of the law do not apply. Recently, a bill was introduced by Rep. Pam Myhra, R-Burnsville, which would require specific reasons for employee separation payments — whether or not a “dispute” exists — for any matter exceeding $10,000. We support the overall goal of the bill, which would clean up the language so that attorneys cannot finagle words and meanings to clearly skirt the intention of the current law. Most appropriately, we give our support to the legislation during Sunshine Week, March 11-17.

Thanks for stopping, Mr. Baker Several years ago a salesman stopped at my office, which is not unusual. It comes with the territory; I’m a salesman so I guess I am considered fair game. Every week I am set upon by men without appointments hawking their wares; those I know are greeted with a reasonably warm welcome; others are usually shown the door once their intentions are determined. But this one salesman was special: a Fuller Brush man. I was surprised that his kind still existed — the door-to-door salesman. Although full of energy, he could not be called a young man. I guessed him to be around 80 years old, but time had not slowed him down. His big smile and bright eyes told me he

was happy in his line of work. Outfitted with a cummerbund, white shirt and bow tie, he had my full attention.

He showed me a few things from his expansive product line, but it was an old-fashioned carpet sweeper that caught my eye. After he gave me a quick demonstration of its usefulness and showed me how to empty it, I was sold. Of course, I had already decided that I was going to buy something because I sensed I was part of a fading scene, and this moment required that I play my part. Even though I still have (and use) the carpet sweeper, I hadn’t thought of the man who sold it to me until I read the paper last week.

LETTERS

Commissioners’ actions questioned Scott County has had a history of effective government under the administrative leadership of Gary Shelton and a capable team of county administrators and officials. The actions of Commissioners Joseph Wagner and Dave Menden raise questions about their professionalism and ability to focus on important issues of the day. Here is the letter that I shared with the Scott County Board on March 6: “The Scott County Board of Commissioners and county staff operate under an organization vision — ‘W here individua ls, fami lies and business thrive,’ as well as the county’s mission statement: ‘The mission of Scott County is to advance safe, health, and livable communities through citizen-focused services.’ Scott County is populated by individuals and families who are busy and productive, are raising families with a sense of values, hard work and civic engagement. We expect our money to be spent wisely, and our leaders to address the serious issues of the day — mortgage foreclosures, people who are out of work or underemployed, single moms struggling with two or three part-time jobs, families without enough to eat or shelter at night. “At the organizational meeting of the Scott County Board, Commissioner Wagner introduced a motion that was seconded by Commissioner Menden to bypass tradition and have Commissioner Wolff serve an additional term as chair. Later, Commissioner Wagner mentioned that he was unaware that Commissioner Marschall had accepted a full-time job and for that reason was deviating from the agreement reached during the board planning workshop to have her serve as vice chair. He made a motion, which was seconded by Commissioner Menden, to nominate Commissioner Ulrich as vice chair. “For any woman who has worked inside the home, or outside the home,

where the daily challenges of raising kids, feeding a family, attending to the issues faced by single, married or retired women, this comment raises serious concern about the value that Commissioners Wagner and Menden place on the contributions made by more than half of the human beings in Scott County and on the planet. “Later in this same meeting, Commissioner Wagner moved, seconded by Commissioner Menden, to terminate the employment of County Administrator Gary Shelton, a highly regarded and effective person who has the strong support of individuals throughout the region and the state. In September 2011, this board unanimously voted to rate Gary Shelton as “exceeds expectations,” yet Commissioners Wagner and Menden proposed a course of action that is unprofessional and would be emotionally exhaustive and financial costly to this board, to the Scott County staff, and with ramifications that would ripple throughout the state of Minnesota and beyond. “I call on Commissioners Wagner and Menden to apologize in writing to all the women of Scott County, and to all citizens who believe that government should be about the consideration and resolution of serious issues that we all face. After that is done, this board should redouble its efforts to address the needs of all people — men and women — who live in Scott County.” There will be a hearing of the Scott County Board on March 20 to hear a complaint against County Administrator Gary Shelton. If you want: 1) Open and transparent government; 2) accountability for the actions and results of Scott County commissioners, administrators and employees; and 3) greater resident input into how Scott County government operates, meet at 8:15 a.m. in front of the Scott County Government Center, 200 Fourth Ave., Shakopee, or at 8:30 a.m. in the Scott County Board Room on the second floor.

Menden seeks taxpayer input To the citizens and taxpayers: I need your opinion. Many times we are expected to make decisions on different issues that will affect your checkbook. My job is to vote on what the majority of the people want. The following are some items that I need your feed back on. 1) Our park system, which includes Spring Lake Park, Cleary Lake Park, Cedar Lake Farms, Murphy-Hanrehan, Doyle Kennefick and a new proposed one — Blakeley Bluffs in Blakeley. We can at times get money from the Met Council and the Legacy funds to buy more land and make improvements on the parks. Do we need another park? Do you ever visit our parks? Are there changes or improvements in our parks that you would like to see? Do we spend too much money on our parks? Always feel free to attend our Park Board Meeting held once a month in the evening at the courthouse. See the Scott County website for dates. 2) Spencer and Vierling streets. A roundabout is proposed. Is it necessary? It is designed to get traffic through the intersection faster during rush hour. Will it compromise the safety of the kids, etc., that cross these roads at any time, especially before and after school? 3) County Road 69 from Atwood to Highway 169. A road project that will happen soon. Any questions or opinions concerning this construction? 4) County Road 17 from St. Francis Regional Medical Center to County Road 42. A four-lane highway is planned. Is it necessary? Cost is around $17 million. 5) Metropolitan Mosquito Control. Two commissioners from each metro county sit on this board. It costs tax-

payers around $18 million to spray mosquitoes each year. Is it necessary? Is it worth the cost? If you find time go to the Scott C ou nt y Website, u nder C ou nt y Board, and bring up “Agenda.” This will allow you to see all items that we are expected to vote on. Many of these agenda items might affect you as a citizen. If you have comments on any one of these please call or e-mail me. Thanks.

Why no changes? No money in it In our current political, economic and social climate we might do well to remember the words of French writer, politician and economist, Frederick Bastiat: “When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living in society, they create for themselves, in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.” The above stated words when combined with the research of Harvard sociologist and scholar Barrington Moore Jr.’s book on social, economic and political change, “Injustice: The Social Bases of Obedience and Revolt,” can be summarized as follows: When political, social, and economic circumstances become intolerable they do not usually improve, only worsen, due to a lack of the critical change actors who are usually absent even under the most horrible conditions. When asked why there are so few, if any, such change actors despite the years of yearning for such actors in many societies, an old sage replied simply, “There’s no money in it!!”

No endorsement battles foreseen Spring Fever

has hit Salon Avalon!

Beard, Robling, Berg unlikely to face party challenge BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

It looks like state Rep. Michael Beard could have a good fight on his hands come fall from former Shakopee School Board member Chuck Berg, the expected DFL endorsee on Saturday for the new House District 55A. But it could be smooth sailing for Sen. Claire Robling of rural Jordan and whomever the Republican candidate turns out to be in state House District 55B. With Credit River Township Chairman Brent Lawrence pulling out of the race, no DFL challenger has stepped up to run in 55B, a heavily Republican-leaning district. In the GOP, three are now vying for endorsement. No one is seeking DFL endorsement for state Senate yet either. Unless someone steps up Saturday, Robling could go unchallenged — aside from Prior Lake online college student Josh Ondich, who has repeatedly changed his party affiliation and the position he’s seeking. His latest announcement was the Republican primary for state Senate (most recently it was the DFL primary and Independence Party endorsement. Before that, it was Prior Lake mayor and state House.) Republican delegates had a chance to meet their candidates on Saturday, but won’t endorse till a later date. DFLers are scheduled to endorse at their convention Saturday at Shakopee Junior High. It’s possible last-minute DFL candidates could arise, even following the convention or for the DFL primary. Republicans held their county convention last Saturday in Shakopee, a 10-hour affair that

Senate District 55 GOP endorsement convention: Date/location TBD.

Chuck Berg

HOUSE DISTRICT 55A B e a r d r em a i n s u nch a llenged for his party’s endorsement in 55A. Like the other half of the Senate district, Beard’s new House district leans Republican (U.S. Rep. John Kline won every precinct in 2010). House District 55A includes Jackon and Lousville townships and the city of Shakopee, except for reservation land and a small chunk of southern Shakopee. Although the conservative district is Beard’s to keep, it could prove a challenge should his opponent be Berg, a local figure unlike Beard’s last opponent. Berg — who describes himself as similar to a Blue Dog Democrat — is no hard-line DFLer, having attended a GOP caucus in the recent past and toyed with seeking the Independence Party endorsement. He’s the only candidate announced to seek Saturday’s DFL endorsement.

HOUSE DISTRICT 55B Although there’s a chance of no DFL nominee, the race in 55B should still be interesting to watch in the short-term, especially if it ends up requiring

Senate District 55: Republican State Sen. Claire Robling of rural Jordan is the only candidate seeking a party endorsement. Josh Ondich of Prior Lake intends to run in the GOP primary.

a Republican primary. Since the GOP nominee is nearly assured election in the fall, the battle between three Prior Lake-area candidates could be intense. House District 55B includes Prior Lake, Jordan and the townships from St. Lawrence to Credit River, in addition to the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community and a small chunk of southern Shakopee. The latest Republican to announce is John Myser, a business consultant from Prior Lake. Myser, the brother of Prior Lake Mayor Mike Myser, joins Prior Lake-Savage School Boa rd member Eric P ratt, a bank vice president, and Spring Lake Township financial advisor Tony Albright in the fight for endorsement. In announcing his candidacy, Myser cited his past decade of civic involvement, as well as former training as an Army medic and previous work as an executive manager in the Silicon Valley. “Together, we can run state government more responsibly and can remove the tyrannical yoke of federally unfunded mandates like Obamacare,” Myser stated. DFLer Brent Lawrence, a candidate before the new districts were known, dropped his bid following redistricting. With the Credit River Township chairman out of the run-

ning, the DFL slot in 55B will be up for grabs on Saturday. Lawrence, a realtor and auctioneer, said he reversed his earlier plans so he can focus his time and energy on local and regional issues. “After conferring with trusted advisers and giving it serious consideration, I’ve decided not to run,” he said in a press release. “There is much more we can accomplish by bringing townships, cities, the county, and even our school districts and tribal community together.” Although not cited, Lawrence’s decision could have something to do with political reality. In 2010, Republican John Kline carried 65 percent or more of the vote in each identifiable precinct that makes up the new 55B. Republicans will endorse for 55B at a future convention, where directors will also be chosen for the House and Senate district. O n S at u r d ay, t he S c ot t County GOP selected its new officers:  Chair: Rolando Perez of New Prague.  Deputy Chair: Ryan Love of Shakopee.  Treasurer: Tim Havlik of Spring Lake Township.  Secretary: Leah Schimon of Jackson Township.  Director-at-large: Barbara Lerchen of Spring Lake Township.

Lehman critical of Tabke friend on EDA panel Shakopee City Councilor Matt Lehman, who opposed Mayor Brad Tabke being part of the interview panel for city advisory board and commission appointments, voted against one of those appointees last week. Attorney Kevin Wetherille was one of four individuals recommended for appointment to the Economic Development Authority by the interview panel, which was comprised of Tabke, Councilor Jay Whiting and financial advisor Paul Youngs. “The mayor appointed himself to the interview panel and now the mayor has appointed his campaign manager to an important commission,” Lehman said. “Looks bad. Not saying he’s a bad person. It’s just the process looks bad. It looks like Chicago politics.” Whetherille, a former chairman of the Shakopee Chamber

of Commerce, was appointed to a three-year term on a 3-1 vote (Pamela Punt absent), along with incumbent Ryan Love, Debbie Barber and Mary Hernandez (whose terms vary). “We interviewed a lot of great candidates for these positions. These four came out on top,” Whiting said. Lehman’s objection drew remarks about Chicago politics, but not substantial discussion from the rest of the Council, who had previously heard his opinion of Tabke serving on the interview panel. “No, Chic ago politics,

there’d be like a $100,000 payment a long w i t h t h a t ,” Councilor Steve Clay joked “We would have t a ken somebody out to make that Brad position open,” Tabke Tabke added. Tabke did not technically put himself to the interview panel, as his appointment to be approved by the majority of the Council, as do advisory board recommendations. In Januar y, Lehman op posed Tabke serving, arguing it was breaking tradition for a mayor to serve on the interview committee and might make it appear the mayor was trying to appoint people to further his own agenda. Tabke countered that someone could make the same argument for a city councilor sitting on the interview panel.

T he counci l on T uesday unanimously approved the other following appointments: Pl a n n i n g C om m i s sion : Jo e C ol l i n s (i n c u m b e nt ) and Kent Robbins; Park and Recreation Advisory Board: Corky Mars (incumbent) and John Danio; Shakopee Public Utilities Commission: Bryan McGowan (incumbent); Police Civi l Ser vice Commission : St a n Von Boker n (incumbent); Environmental Advisory Committee: Luke Williams (incumbent), Aaron Weyer, Mark Reimler; Telecommunications Advisory Commission: Mark Hillegas (incumbent), Jay Lyle, Suresh Nair; Historic Preservation Advisory Commission: Marty Berens, Sara Weyer, Patricia Coonen-Korte; Transit C om m i s sion : Rob L it z enberger (incumbent) and Ken Ludzack.

Questions abound on proposed frac sand mines BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

When Jordan Mayor Pete Ewals looks at reclamation plans for a nearly 1,000-acre proposed frac sand mine near the Minnesota Renaissance Festival and other proposed pits, he sees the multitude of leftover manmade lakes. “We’re eliminating a huge chunk of commercial use for future generations,” Ewals commented Tuesday on the end-use plans for the Merriam Junction mine. “We’re marching down Highway 169 and we’re turning whole thing into a water body.” The Scott County Board took questions at a public hearing from Ewals and county residents about noise, traffic, groundwater contamination and reclamation plans as it decides what information to require of the developer of the proposed Merriam Junction sands mine. Merriam Junction, a site of previous mining, is in the beginning stages of environmental review for the proposed frac sand operation. Tuesday’s meeting will help determine

Great Plains Sands, a smaller frac sand mine also discussed Tuesday that completed the EAW and has gone through a year-round review with the townships and county staff, doesn’t need an EIS, the County Board determined Tuesday. However, conditions still must be set for an interim-use permit. Gre at Pl ai ns Sa nd s h as agreed to keep its permit open to allow for additional conditions based on what is discovered in the environmental review for Merriam Junction, a separately owned mine. The developer has also agreed to an ongoing review committee once the mine is opened later this year, a positive sign for

the county. “This is kind of a new situation for us,” said county Environmental Health Manager Al Frechette, referring to the county considering two frac sand mines at once. Frac sand mining was started at the Merriam Junction in the 1980s but halted due to the economy and competition, a geologist told the County Board Tuesday. The economic landscape is entirely different today, with new technology increasing demand for frac, which is used in the oil industry, she said. Great Plains Sands, a 100acre site, straddles Louisville and Sand Creek townships. Both township boards support the county’s decision to not require an EIS of the developer, but have ongoing concerns that will have to be addressed in the interim-use permit. “The devil is going to be in the details [of the permit],” said longtime Sand Creek Township Chairman Cy Wolf, who dealt with mining at the site in the 1980s and believes yearlong meetings have identified the necessary issues for the pur-

Weckman was pleased with the township’s involvement with county staff this past year in planning. But, “I do have concern with finding out now the county has mineral rights and some money coming out from it,” he added during the Great Plains Sands discussion. “It was kind of kept from us. It gives me a little doubt. ... We want to make sure the county backs us when we do have complaints and concerns that we do get some action.”

It’s been four years since you left us. We still love and miss you. ~ Mom & Dad

IN MEMORY OF CHARLES ROBERT MARSHALL Who passed away March 14, 2002

Love Doesn’t Die (author unknown) Remember me with a smile and laughter. And if you need to cry… Cry for your brother and sister who walk in pain beside you. And when you need me, put your arms around anyone and give to them what you need to give to me. I want to leave you something… Something better than words or sounds. Look for me in the people I have known. Or loved or helped in some special way. Let me live in your eyes as well as in your mind. You can love me most, by letting love live within the circle of your arms, embracing the frightened and sad. Love doesn’t die, people do… So when all that is left of me is love, Give me away as best as you can. I’ll see you at home, where I will be waiting. Those we hold closest to our hearts never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they have shared and the love they brought into our lives. Greatly missed by Brandon (Spark), Jessica, Jennifer and The Marshall Family and Friends

the church, but hearing that Meadow Spring is looking to expand, it makes sense to move into that part of the building, he said. Between lease and buildout, Shakopee anticipates spending about $200,000 annually for the space. The district would like to use its lease levy authority to cover those costs, which would increase residents’ taxes. School district Director of Finance Mike Burlager said a homeowner of a $ 300,000 house could pay up to $15 more per year. A homeowner of a $150,000 home would pay an additional $8 annually. The district has also set aside up to $400,000 in one-

Two weeks ago, Shakopee board members raised issue with the proximity to Valley Liquor. Mal l management agreed to move the school closer to the central part of the building, taking over a space currently housing Meadow Spring Community Church’s child care. Thompson said the school district didn’t want to displace

time startup money to purchase computers, desks, curriculum and other equipment, Thompson said. Administrators said they hope to bring a lease agreement back to the board at its next meeting, April 9.

After administering the oath of office to new Historic Preservation Advisory Commissioner Marty Berens, Cox offers him her congratulations.

COX continued from A1

When Cox joined the city, its borders stopped at Murphy’s Landing and 10th Avenue. In those days, City Hall was on First Avenue, also in a building marked 129 that was once First National Bank Cox, who retires at the end of this month, didn’t set out to be a city lifer (she did have other jobs prior to coming to City Hall), but her workplace was close to home and offered her professional growth. She never had a reason to leave. Cox became deputy city clerk in 1976 and Shakopee’s first city clerk in 1981 (previously the function was part of the city administrator’s hat.) “It just happened over time. As we grew there were more things that needed to be done,” she said. “I’ve learned a lot. It’s been challenging, interesting and fun.” She has loved the variety of her job and being able to help nurture new employees. “This department is the source and central location for everybody for some thing,” she said. Cox worked for 10 different mayors and seven different administrators. “Everyone comes in with their own strengths and ideas and ways to want to do things,” she said of elected officials. “It’s really interesting, to be able to see new council members and

If you go Judy Cox retirement reception When: 5:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 20 Where: Shakopee City Hall, 129 Holmes St. S. mayors learn and grow so they can really benefit the community.” A lot of time City Hall is the first place people stop when they want to start a business. They may not know the tax implications, zoning laws and other cost factors of establishing a business. Cox is happy to help them and point them in the direction of where else they need to go. “City Hall is a place where a lot of people might call because they’re not sure where they should go,” Cox said. “That’s always been one of my favorite jobs, to be able to talk to the public. Her job duties included maintaining records of city actions, easements and deeds, and overseeing elections and city licensing — everything from alcohol to taxi cabs to pawn shops. “She was accommodating to everyone. She didn’t play favorites. She did her best for everyone,” Schmitt said. Cox was meticulous and responsible. When candidates signed off on an election filing, they knew it was complete. She also reviewed council minutes to make sure

the technicalities were right. “She has attended virtually ever meeting the City Council has held, at least in the time that I have been here,” said City Administrator Mark McNeill in an e-mail. “Other than seeing her in person, the thing which we will miss most is the institutional knowledge and history of the city which she will take with her. It is impossible to replicate more than 41 years of her experience, seeing firsthand all of the things which have transpired in Shakopee during that time.” Cox, who will continue to call Shakopee home, plans to travel the country visiting siblings with her husband, who is also retired, and finally get to the reading she’s missed all these years. She’s also planning the garage sale she put off. Cox had thought about retiring for a couple years. “It just felt like it was the right time,” she said. What will she miss most? “Helping people, working with my co-workers and the public,” she said. The public is invited to attend a retirement reception for Cox prior to next Tuesday’s council meeting. Although she’s leaving City Hall, her Tuesday evenings won’t be free. She plans to keep tabs on council meetings on TV — for now at least. “If my husband will let me,” Cox said. “It will be hard to turn it off.” Shannon Fiecke

MINES continued from A5

WATER/DUST Because of the increased depth of mining at both sites, potential groundwater contamination is of major concern, with the water table below and above areas where sandstone will be mined. But an even bigger worry for townships — which are no stranger to mining — is how the fine silica sand, a carcinogen, will be handled. “Silica dust is health hazard. It can cause respiratory problems,” explained county environmentalist Kate Sedlacek, who is leading the mine reviews. “That fine dust particle is one-sixteenth of a human hair.”

MATTER OF TRUST Mining has been associated with the Merriam Junction site since the 1950s, but previously focused on limestone, sand and gravel for construction purposes. The upper section of limestone is removed, leaving

just a thin layer on top of highqua lity Jordan Sandstone, Sedlacek said. Land there is owned by wellknown Louisville Township resident Bruce Malkerson, along with the family-owned operator Bryan Rock Products and Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Although elected officials have similar concerns about frac sand for both mines, they are more trusting of Merriam Junction because of who owns the property, versus Great Plains Sands. “I think you have a lot more concern and investment in making sure this doesn’t pollute the water or infringe on neighbors,” said County Commissioner Dave Menden of the Merriam Junction property owners. But Great Pl ai ns Sa nd s “sounds like the same old song,” remarked Sand Creek Township resident Jesse Coghill, reminding the audience of a previous developer who made promises to reclaim the area with nice lakes, but “walked away.”

County staff, however, made note of Great Plains Sands’ cooperation thus far. Frechette said he’s encouraged by the “open-endedness” of the upcoming interim-use permit. “You are Mr. Environmental, are you comfortable with how the silica dust will be handled?” Commissioner Joe Wagner asked Frechette. “Certainly silica dust is an emerging issue,” Frechette said, but he’s confident in the dust-control procedures the developer has proposed. “They are doing a lot of things differently than done in the past with management of the silica sand out there.” T he st at e of M i n ne sot a hasn’t set standards yet related specifically to silica dust, but state air-quality experts have offered to help the county review Great Plain Sands’ dust monitoring plan. Frechette said the major risk for cancer is to mine employees and the developer will be required to abide by federa l he a lt h a nd sa fet y standards.

I’m looking forward to enjoying the satisfaction of being a better salesman than I am right now.” He retired at age 85, a very good salesman. Too often I hear that the measure of a good salesman is his ability to “sell ice to Eskimos.” I bristle whenever I hear that. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. A good salesman does not sell someone something they don’t need (or can’t afford). That is a con man, a deceiver. A good salesman should be like a good man. He should practice the Golden Rule and treat others the way they wish to be treated. And that includes treating them with respect, even if they don’t have an appointment.

March 8 edition. It was the picture that accompanied the story which caught my eye. There he was, my Fuller Brush man, Lyle Baker. He had one arm draped casually on a counter with a cup of coffee held in the other hand. His bow tie, big smile and bright eyes stared at me from the paper. Mr. Baker had died. Lyle Baker passed away at the age of 90. The story told how Mr. Baker was “among the top 100 retailers up until the day he retired.” This was according to Larry Gray, the vice president of sales for Fuller Brush. I was not surprised. “To this kind of fellow, no one is a stranger,” Gray said. “They hardly make them like that.” The Star Tribune story included excerpts from a 2003 University of Minnesota interview. Lyle Baker said, “People ask me why I’m still selling at my age. I guess part of the reason I’m still selling is that I’ve worked long and hard to be a good salesman. Now that I am a good one, I don’t want to quit. I’m

If you are unable to attend the meeting or have questions before or after the meeting, contact Project Manager Jeannine Briol at (952) 496-8027 or jbriol@co.scott.mn.us. The master plan lays out a phased approach for developing the park that can be implemented as funding becomes available. The primary focus of the first phase is the dog park and trail system:  The off-leash dog area will be approximately 10 acres in size (about one-half the size of the Cleary Lake Regional Park off-leash dog area) and feature a separate “small pet” area for smaller breeds of dogs.  The trail system will be an asphalt trail designed to provide a unique experience for walkers, bikers and other trail users by integrating the natural areas of the park while minimizing impacts to high-quality woodlands. The county is striving to provide an accessible trail system for older adults and people with disabilities. (Future trail

said Themig. Some members of the public went on nature walks at the park. “We’ve had some use out there, but it was pretty informal use,” he said. At one time, there were horse ranches and stables along Northwood Road on the east side of the park, Themig has been told. “I think some of the trails that exist today were the results of folks’ horseback riding before Prior Lake developed in that area,” he explained. While the trails to be constructed this summer are bituminous, at some point there will be new turf and natural surface trails, Themig said. The existing snowmobile trail may be realigned in places to fit the new trail system. The Spring Lake Regional Park Master Plan also calls for an interpretive nature center, camping and waterfront devel-

REMEMBER WHEN 30 years ago... From the Shakopee Valley News, 1982 Stagecoach’s New Owner Keeps Traditions...If the Stagecoach was a friendly place for the past 45 or 50 years under Ozzie and Marie Klavestad, that much hasn’t changed since they sold the place last July. While the old town and opera house are closed down for the winter, the coffee’s on and the door is open at the Stagecoach Stores Inc.’s gunshop. Cal Hotzler, proprietor, said, “We basically are geared for the hunter with an obvious bias towards ducks. We would like to do more work on the old town, but with interest rates the way they are, it’s hard to do anything and do it right.” Prime retail space available now in 212,000-square-feet enclosed mall shopping center complex, including K-Mart. This center is located in a dominant growth area of greater Minneapolis’ southwest suburban market serving a trade area in excess of 40,000 in population. The mall, located on U.S. Highway 169, has been completely upgraded. Dennis and Barb Sigurdson have received a lot of trophies and awards

in the past year. The trouble is, all of them have come unassembled, in bits and pieces. Last June the couple took over as owners of Championship Awards, where assembling trophies is something they have more or less had to adapt to. Mr. Sigurdson is happy enough with the results of the new business so far that he is considering selling his sewer establishment to go into awards full time with his wife.

Nearly 30 residents of the rural areas east and south of Shakopee, who made the trip to town on tractors and in trucks because of the poor conditions of roads hit by the spring break-up, appeared before the commissioners to place their demands for action.

large enrollment growth in its black population, increasing from eight students to 316 for a rank of 15th in the country, and Asian population, which jumped from 33 to 610 students, ranking the district 19th in the country by percentage growth. According to the 2010 census, of Shakopee’s total population, 10.3 percecnt are Asian, 7.8 percent Hispanic, 4.3 percent black and 1.2 percent American Indian. Its nonwhite, nonHispanic population is 74.3 percent. Simmons believes the most important part of the summit will be determining how best to communicate with the diverse cultures of Shakopee. “I believe that the rapid growth that Shakopee experienced made the transition from a smaller, primarily Caucasian community, to a multicultural community difficult,” Simmons said in an email. “The city government, area social services and other organizations didn’t have the opportunity to learn how to communicate with and service this new community. While many organization are stepping up to assist we need to be able to have a better line of communication to assist families through crisis and through the transition from one their native culture to Shakopee. My hope is that this will provide an opportunity for the new populations to embrace our community and for our community to embrace the diverse populations.”

communities of Shakopee. Through her work with families in the school district, Hernandez said she sees the needs of the Hispanic community extend beyond education. “When I saw the article ... I was extremely excited that finally it seemed like someone cared and was aware that we existed,” she explained in an e-mail. As a follow-up to her letter, Hernandez and New Creations Church Pastor Pat Simmons met with Tabke to talk about concerns within the Hispanic community. New Creation has collaborated with the school district over the past year to put on a free summer lunch program for children in need, who are largely Hispanic. The east-end church served around 4,000 lunches last summer and provided activities, soccer and transportation. Shakopee is one of the top school districts in the nation for minority growth. According to a 2009 report, Shakopee’s enrollment growth ranks in the top 20 of suburban districts nationwide for black, Asian and Hispanic students. The district, which had just 11 Hispanic students in 199394, enrolled 712 in 2006-07, making it third in the nation in terms of growth rate by percentage and the district’s second-largest ethnic population. Shakopee has also seen

MEETING FOCUS “There are no major goals for the summit beyond bringing people together, looking to the future and identifying possible roadmaps for ways the city and school district can better work with and represent Shakopee’s diverse community,” Tabke said in a message to city residents. “If there is desire,

we would like to put together a task force to create idea[s] and focus on diversity in Shakopee.” The meeting schedule is: 6 p.m.: Meet and greet 6:30 p.m.: Introductions by community leaders 7 p.m.: Small groups to talk about ways the city, school district and cultural groups can communicate and better work

as a team 7:30 p.m.: Report from small groups and plan next steps

RELATED NEWS On Sunday night, more than 100 members of la Luz del Mundo Church in Shakopee had dinner with Police Chief Jeff Tate, City Administrator Mark McNeill, a few officers and Mayor

Brad Tabke in the church basement. “We had open questions where they asked anything of Jeff, Mark, the officers and me,” Tabke also shared. “Including the chatting afterward, we were there for three hours. It was amazing and I believe many are coming on the 22nd.” Shannon Fiecke

Fund established to help needy graduates in SHS class of 2012 A special fund has been set up for Shakopee High School students who will graduate with the class of 2012 and are in need of financial help. In order to apply for assistance, Shakopee graduates and families have to meet hardship and financial qualifications. The recent result was 54 SHS graduates in the class of 2012 are in need of some type of help. Some students are homeless, have had a death in the family, or have parents who have lost their jobs or have had medical issues. Last year, local residents and businesses donated items and money to 10 graduating students in need. Supporters say that this year is going to be more of a challenge because of the number of students in need of assistance, but are

hoping to get an outpouring of help from the local community. Items needed for these graduates include a commencement cap, stole and tassel. Supporters also hope to be able to make the students’ graduation year memorable by providing them with a yearbook and graduation cake. The deadline to donate to the student fund is May 1. Those who are able to donate to this fund can make checks payable to: Shakopee High School. Send donations to: Shakopee High School, Attn: Heather Schroeder, 100 17th Ave. W., Shakopee, MN 55379. For all in-kind donations, contact Joy Newgard at (952) 693-5688 or joynewgard@ yahoo.com, or Heather Schroeder at (952) 496-5156 or hschroed@shakopee.k12. mn.us

This quiet, easygoing 1-yearold would like you to get out the interactive toys and play.

When the finances and family fell apart, Tag was sent packing. He used to have cats in his past life as well as children. Tag is house-trained and crate-trained. He likes to have a blanket around to burrow under and cover up. Tag knows how to sit and come. He looks forward to walks and does fine in the car. He’s a quiet, easygoing 6-year-old Boston terriermix who is affectionate and friendly with all.

Old rival dominates Sabers Prior Lake pulled away in second half BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

ack when Prior Lake and Shakopee were in the same confere n c e a n d pl ay e d twice a year, the Sabers dominated the Lakers in boys basketball. The rivalry stopped two years ago and apparently so did the Sabers’ dominance when the Lakers left for the newly formed South Suburban Conference. Prior to the Lakers leaving for the SSC, Shakopee had won five games in a row and 11 out of last 13 games the two

rivals played. Those numbers had no effect when the two old rivals met in the first round of the Class 4A, Section 2 playoffs on Wednesday last week at Prior Lake High School. Prior Lake used a big second half to defeat Shakopee 68-47. It was Prior Lake’s first playoff win since moving up to Class 4A nine years ago. The Sabers played even with the Lakers for the first 18 minutes but a poor start to the second half did them in. Shakopee trailed 29-23 at halftime but allowed the Lakers to score pretty much at will to start the second half. Despite using up all of his timeouts in attempt to stop the Lakers’ run, head coach Bruce Kugath could just sit and watch as they slowly pulled away. Prior Lake outscored the Sabers 39-24 in the second half

Matt Zager holds the NSIC championship trophy after he scored 12 points for the Mustangs in the championship game.

Mat Club dominates at state Team crowns 10 state champions

Shakopee junior John Burlager scores two points for the Sabers against Prior Lake. but the first few minutes of the half are what really did Shakopee in. The Lakers outscored Shakopee 20-6 to start the half and

cruised from that point on. Nolan Fischer led the Sabers with 12 points. The loss ends Shakopee’s season with a 10-17 record.

The Shakopee Mat Club had its best year ever at the the MNUSA State Wrestling Championships from March 9-11 in Rochester. The Mat Club crowned 10 state champions and placed another 12 wrestlers. The state champions were: Ty Zitzman, PeeWee Class A; Seth Bakken, Intermediate 55; Jeron Matson, Novice 65; Peyton Robb, Novice 85; Tyler Kropiwka, Novice 140+; Sam Webster, Schoolboy 70; A lex Lloyd, Schoolboy 8 4 ; Owen Webster, Schoolboy 128; Charles Kroll, Cadet 88; Alex Coleman, Cadet 120. Shakopee had three wrestlers finish in second place:

Maxwell Crowe, Novice 65; Alexander Crowe, Schoolboy 85; and Tyson Leon, Cadet 126. Finishing in third place were: Cael Robb, Bantam Class D; Tanner Larson, Intermediate 65; Carson Poshusta, Schoolboy 136 ; A lex King, Schoolboy 160. Brent Jones, Schoolboy 84, finished in fourth while Jack Ferguson, PeeWee Class E, and Tyler Jones, Novice 70, finished in fifth. Evan Bruckner, Novice 60, and Brad Born, Cadet 113, finished in sixth place. There were 126 teams entered in the tournament and the Shakopee Mat Club had the most champions with 10. The next closest team was St. Francis with six champions. Shakopee’s 22 place winners were only second to Anoka’s 23 place winners.

Kahnke, wrestling for St. Cloud State University, lost to Northern State’s Matt Meuleners 3-1 in overtime to be denied the national championship.

Canterbury announces start date Canterbury Park’s annual meet will begin Friday, May 18 and run through Labor Day for a total of 62 race days. New on the schedule this year is a series of sprints for $3,500 claiming horses culminating with championship races for each sex offering a $25,000 purse. To compete in the $ 2 5,0 0 0 cha mpionships, horses must earn points by racing in at least two of the three qualifying sprints beginning June 14. “The claiming series will appeal to stables racing in this region and of fers a championship purse that will generate a lot of interest,” Racing Secretary Doug Schoepf said. “We also have increased the purses at the bottom level this season so that every thoroughbred purse will be at least $7,000.” All claiming series races

will be run on Thursday nights with the hope that fans will enjoy watching some of the same horses week in and week out. “We are extremely proud of our Thursday night racing,” said President Randy Sampson. “In 2011, attendance averaged 6,690 on Thursdays and I believe this claiming series will allow our young and energetic crowd to more closely identify with some of the horses that make their way to Canterbury this summer.” More information on the claiming series as well as the stakes and condition books can be found at www. canterburypark.com . Stall applications, also available online, are due April 1. Print copies of the condition book can be obtained through Linda Arnoldi at (952) 496-6449 or larnoldi@ canterburypark.com.
