It was always about the kids McBroom brought here what he learned in one-room school

T

aped next to the door of Jon McBroom’s office, a small slip of paper sums up just about everything McBroom is about: Promise only what you can deliver.

For 40 years, McBroom has been an educator living by the simple idea that honesty, hard work and giving back are keys to a life in public service. “It’s been a privilege to work with somebody who is so forthright and has such a solid moral base,�

Eagle Creek Elementary Principal

Libby Bergen said about McBroom. “There’s never a doubt what his motive is. There’s never a doubt what his intent is. There’s never a doubt what his priorities are — it’s always about the kids. It absolutely is the measure he uses constantly as decisions are made or projects are worked on. That is the yardstick. That is the measure.�

McBroom, 61, retires today after 11 years at the helm of the Shakopee School District and nearly 30 as a Minnesota school superintendent.

He points to the bedrock values instilled in him growing up in a stoic

Most people couldn’t imagine spending their whole work day with 20 energetic 5-year-olds. But for retiring Shakopee teacher Debra

O’Neill, kindergarten is her passion. “I just absolutely love everything about the early education,� the Eagle Creek Elementary kindergarten teacher said. “The 5 and 6 year olds, they’re so excited about starting school and so enthusiastic about everything. It’s really important to me that kids like coming to school.�

O’Neill, 56, is retiring this year after 32 years as a kindergarten

teacher — 28 in the Shakopee School District. Kindergarten is a perfect fit, she said, since it’s her opportunity to share her enthusiasm with parents new to the Shakopee school system. “I’m just one of those people that loves school,� O’Neill said.

When O’Neill started teaching full-time at Pearson Elementary in 1983, there were only four district kindergarten teachers;

Long grass and prairie flowers will turn to lush alfalfa this fall under a plan by Ryan Co. to farm 60 acres of fallow land in the Dean Lakes development. But the loss of another kind of green made this proposal a difficult measure to get past the city of Shakopee.

Farming is allowed on other vacant business park and industrial land in the city, but Ryan requires special permission because of how Dean Lakes was created.

The national development company is carrying 84 acres of vacant business land at the cost of $1.2 million per year. It wants to continue holding the property with a tax status change — and hopefully woe occupants with a lower price of entry. “We’ve been able to absorb the last couple years but there comes a time where you can’t do that,� said development director Casey Hankinson. “We’re asking for just some temporary relief so we can be as competitive as possible to bring new development to the site.�

School Board set to select superintendent

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

The Shakopee School Board interviewed three candidates this week as it narrowed down its selection for district superintendent.

Finalists Keith Rittel, Chris Lindholm and Rod Thompson each spent a day in the school district, meeting staff and sitting down with board members for a second-round interview.

The board was expected to choose a candidate to enter into contract negotiations with following Thompson’s interview Wednesday after this edition went to press.

“I think we have a very good slate of candidates,” Board Chairman Steve Schneider said. “Any one of the three can represent Shakopee very well.”

Last week, the School Board interviewed seven candidates before wheedling the list to its top three favorites. Those candidates returned this week to tour the district, speak with teachers, principals and stu-

Rittel, 53, is the deputy superintendent in the Clover Park School District in Lakewood, Wash. The 12,000-student district has a high free/reducedlunch population and mobility rate with six of its schools on a military base.

R it tel, who i nter viewed Monday, described himself as a collaborative, practical person during a community forum.

He believes his background of having turned around poorperforming schools and improved school-community relationships demonstrates his ability to work with people and get things done.

“There’s no magic potion,” he said. “It’s just a matter of

treating people the right way, of being fair and consistent, of being honest with them.”

Rittel, who has been in Clover Pa rk t h ree yea rs, was previously a professional musician and high school principal in Washington. He’s looking for a place to fi nish his career and is interested in moving to Minnesota because he has a daughter here. He was a fi nalist for the Rochester (Minn.)

Public Schools superintendent position earlier this year.

Hip-hop festival again at issue

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

It appeared Canterbu r y Park had fixed noise issues with its annual hip-hop festival Soundset when it moved the concert venue from blacktop to turf.

Two years ago, when the festival was held in the parking lot, profanity could be heard by city residents. It generated a number of complaints, a lt houg h noise st a nd a rd s weren’t exceeded.

The festival relocated to a lower grassy area in 2010 on the north end of Canterbury.

The city may have gotten one complaint last year, said Shakopee City Ad minist rator Ma rk McNei l l i n a recent meeting.

Soundset 2011 was held in the same location on May 29, but music could be heard clear as day on the other side of the river valley.

Eight miles away in Chanhassen, people were trying to

Steve Clay

figure out who was having the loud party in their neighborhood, said Shakopee City Administrator Mark McNeill.

Police received 21 complaints from Eden Prairie and 11 from Shakopee.

Several years ago there were noise complaints about Canterbury from Prior Lake and Spring Lake Township.

This year, it appears the sound traveled to the north, McNeill said.

It appears atmospheric conditions were in play.

While there was no wind this year or last, there was

low cloud cover during last month’s festival, McNeill said.

High river levels might have also ref lected sound, suggested Councilor Steve Clay, who spoke with someone who lives atop of the bluff and house is situated in such a way to be the “perfect acoustic receiving area.”

The Sunday festival ended by 9:30 p.m., city officials said, ahead of the city’s 10 p.m. curfew.

Mayor John Schmitt said he had one man who lives southwest of old County Road 16 at his door Sunday morning, complaining that his house was rocking. Meanwhile, others who live next to Shenandoah Drive had no issues.

The festival didn’t come close to exceeding state noise standards, although it appears the sound was louder in Eden Prairie than in Shakopee, the mayor said.

“The biggest thing out of that concert was the language

itself, which is a difficult thing to legislate,” Schmitt said.

McNeil said people from Shakopee’s downtown area could hear what was being said two years ago, while concertgoers themselves cou ldn’t understand the words.

Because of the 2009 festival, Canterbury Park President Randy Sampson told the council that profanity from the emcee would not be tolerated the following year and Soundset 2010 would try to be more mindful in its band selection.

McNeill told the council during a recent meeting that Sampson is aware of what happened this year. “And I think he’s sincere about trying to solve the noise issue.”

The city is happy Soundset is a success, but residents also have a reasonable expectation to not be annoyed, McNeill said.

ready for his next professional step. He added that while he’s happy in Burnsville, he sees the Shakopee job as the perfect fit for his values, calling it “the opportunity of a lifetime.”

T hompson, 4 6, has been the superintendent in the St. Anthony-New Brighton School District for five years. He’s responsible for several administrative tasks in the district of 1,800 students. Previously he was superintendent and high school principal in the Greenway School District in Coleraine, in northern Minnesota.

T hompson said he’s t he type of leader who sees projects through from concept to completion. He’s confident his skills and expertise fit the list of desired traits Shakopee stakeholders are looking for in a new superintendent.

“I’m able to come into [the Sha kopee dist rict] havi ng walked in those shoes and having accomplished those things,” Thompson said by phone Tuesday.

Thompson was one of two

finalists for the Farmington School District superintendent position but withdrew his name last week. He said his decision to drop out of the Farmington search was because he felt he could make a bigger impact on student achievement and instruction in Shakopee.

Thompson was also a finalist for the Stillwater Area Schools chief job earlier this year.

The seven candidates interviewed last week also include d : Jos eph G er t s em a , s u p e r i nt e n d e nt , Ya n k t o n (S.D.) School District; William Robert Laney, assistant superintendent, St. Louis Park School District; Hertica Marti n, executive di rector for elementar y and secondar y education, Rochester (Minn.)

School District; and Christine Weymouth, assistant superintendent, Farmington School District.

Overall, the district received 42 applications for the superintendent position. The majority were current superintendents.

About half were from Minnesota.

BRIEFS

Racino supporters seeing signs of hope Supporters of a racino at Canterbury Park are expressing confidence Tuesday that their dream could come true.

Some Republican legislators, who oppose Gov. Mark Dayton’s call for tax increases on the richest Minnesotans, are apparently open to consideration of raising revenue by other means.

Allowing slot machines — dubbed a racino — at Shakopee’s Canterbury Park and Running Aces horse track in the north metro is apparently gaining some supporters, according to Dick Day, a former GOP lawmaker who heads lobbying efforts for a racino. He told supporters today that a racino “is under serious consideration as one piece that could be used to solve the state’s budget problem.”

A state shutdown over the impasse would occur Friday.

Among the supporters is Sen. Claire Robling, R-Jordan, Senate Finance Committee chairwoman.

The pressure is on lawmakers as a state shutdown over the budget impasse looms.

Raceway can now sell liquor, microbrews Racecar fans in Minnesota may now be able order a microbrew or mixed drink thanks to a new bill signed into law by Gov. Mark Dayton.

The city of Shakopee issued an on-sale intoxicating liquor license for the fi rst time earlier this month to Raceway Park, which previously could only serve 3.2-beer.

State Rep. Michael Beard worked with Raceway Park owner John Hellendrung to add auto racing facilities to the list of establishments that can be issued liquor licenses in the state.

Hellendrung told the City Council that Raceway would like to be able to sell stronger beers from microbreweries and Summit.

This will also open up sponsorship opportunities.

The racetrack is also looking to expand its hospitality offerings “to mirror some of the competing venues in this area,” he said. Raceway has a VIP suite and recently erected a three-level party deck.

City firefighter accused of skirmish with police

BY SHANNON FIECKE Staff Writer

A Shakopee fi refighter who ran from police at a local bar last month has been placed on paid administrative leave.

Police say t hey wa nted to question Travis Struck, 29, after they allegedly saw him staggering at America’s Best Value Inn (formerly Canterbury Inn). Officers knew Str uck is not supposed to drink alcohol because he has a restricted driver’s license.

He had been cited twice earlier this spring with violating conditions of that license, which also requires use of an ignition override system.

Officers were patrolling the hotel complex following a concert on May 30 when they spotted Struck. Struck allegedly ran from them, through the hotel bar area and into a women’s restroom.

Struck was arrested and immediately placed on administrative leave. He was arraigned last week in Scott County District Court on a misdemeanor charge of fleeing a police officer.

At the time of his May 31 arrest, Struck was facing three other charges for violating the conditions of his driver’s license: twice for not carrying his license and once for not using an ignition override.

I n Ma rch, St r uck was stopped after he was clocked going 84 mph in a 50 mph zone on Eagle Creek Boulevard while driving his wife’s vehicle to answer a fi re call.

He was not supposed to be driving without an ignition override system.

According to the police report, Struck told the officer his vehicle was parked in when his pager went off, so he decided to take his wife’s.

“He went on to say that he got tunnel vision and should have known better,” the officer noted.

Struck was hired as a volunteer paid on-call fi refighter in February 2008, despite a long history of low-level offenses (most alcohol- or driving-related). He successfully passed his one-year probationary period in 2009.

The public may wonder why Struck was able to join the Fire Department, given his past. He has been cited or charged 29 times since 2000.

Shakopee Fire Chief Rick Colema n said St r uck was hired before he became chief.

City Administrator Mark McNeill said he couldn’t comment, other than to say Shakopee police perform background checks on all job candidates.

Struck, through his attorney Scott Lewis, did not respond to a call for comment

from the Valley News.

Struck was sentenced on June 22 to one-year of probation, plus 30 days of electronic home-monitoring for his earlier driving license violations.

Past convictions include hunting pheasants without a stamp (2007), drunken driving (2004, 2005, 2006), careless driving (2003), driving after suspension of his license (2001 (four times), 2002, 2003), fi fthdegree assault (2001), theft of services less than $250 (2002), underage consumption (2001, twice; 2002, 2003), disorderly house (2002), disorderly conduct (2004), public nuisance (2005) .

Struck was convicted of the 2001 assault for punching a man in the head following a fight at the victim’s apartment and allegedly hanging up the phone when the man tried to call 911.

The theft conviction involved stolen electricity from someone switching electrical meters after the electricity to Struck’s apartment was shut off due to nonpayment.

Struck at that the time told detectives he no longer stayed at the apartment, one of his roommates was in jail and he hadn’t seen the other roommate recently.

Whiting throws hat in ring again for city office Shakopee Heritage Society President Jay W hiting announced Monday he is starting his election campaign for Shakopee City Council.

A local history enthusiast, Whiting has extensive commu nity civic i nvolvement and has run for city councilor twice before.

If elected, Whiting said his goals are to make city government transparent and keep communications open with the public. Ensuring appropriate planning along with preserving the culture of the past is a vital key to his leadership views, he said.

Whiting is the fi rst to announce his candidacy for the city race. Councilors Matt

Lehman and Pat Heit zman’s threeyea r seats a re up for election, as is Mayor John S ch m it t ’s two-year spot.

Lehman, Jay who sou g ht Whiting the mayor’s of f ic e when h i s ow n se at wa sn’t up t wo ye a r s a go, said he’s going to take July to think about whether he shou ld run again for City Council. Heitzman is considering seeking re-election, but hasn’t decided anything officially. “I’m still considering

my options,” he said.

Schmitt said he still considering as well.

Whiting ran three years ago for City Council, placing fourth in a field of eight candidates for two seats. He was also a write-in candidate in a prior election. For more information about his election, visit: jaywhitingforcouncil.com.

Filings for mayor and City Councilor open Aug. 2 at Shakopee City Hall. The deadline is 4:30 p.m. Aug. 16.

The filing period was moved up a week, due to election law changes. The incorrect fi ling period was published in the recent city newsletter, Hometown Messenger.

Xou Young and his wife Pang sell vegetables from their farm in rural Lakeville at the Shakopee Farmers Market.

Farmers markets return, but produce to be limited at first

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

With jackhammers pounding behind them, Xou Young and his wife Pang sold fresh radishes, rhubarb and snap peas beneath an awning last Thursday on the opening day of the Shakopee Farmers Market at the corner of First Avenue and Marschall Road.

Despite delays in the growing season and road reconstruction on County Road 101, market organizer Sheila Stanton of rural Northfield still muscled up enough farmers to open outside the American Legion last week. They packed up early, but plan to be back today from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with the section of First Avenue in front of them now paved.

The Shakopee Chamber of Commerce has been fielding calls for weeks from folks wondering when the local markets would open.

The fi rst couple markets started last Thursday — Stanton’s and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community’s market at the Mazopiya grocery store.

Another two are planned to open in Shakopee by other

groups next month.

With the heavy rains and late frosts this spring, Stanton expected the Hmong who farm her rural Northfield land to only offer a limited option of vegetables at fi rst, she said ahead of last week’s opening. But there was still plenty of produce and canned goods to choose from last Thursday.

In 2008, Stanton brought the fi rst farmers market Shakopee had in a while to town. With competition growing in other Twin Cities markets, she wanted to open up a new venue for the Hmong who farm her land.

Her hours have since expanded, and she estimates her dozen vendors sold to probably 500 people on Thursdays last year. She has also started a market in Chaska. New to her Shakopee market this year will be shish kebabs made from local vegetables.

Others have followed in Stanton’s footsteps.

Last year, Knights Event Center manager Cindy Navejas began a small market on Saturdays at the hall on Fourth Avenue E. that she hopes to expand with

crafts this year. She has a handful of vendors and is looking for more to sell baked goods, organic meats and canned goods. “A little bit of everything,” she said.

The Knights farmers market is slated to run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays, July 30 to Nov. 26.

The Sever’s Farm Markets produce stand is also now up on Marschall Road, in the parking lot for Ace Hardware.

Across the street, an additional farmers market may open on the weekends outside the new Potters Consignment Cafe on the corner of Gorman Street and Marschall Road. A gas station used to be located at the end of this strip mall.

Owner Troy Potter is still looking for vendors. Several farmers have called, he said last week, but nobody has any produce yet. Strawberries are a month behind, he said.

“This will be a short season.”

Potter has space for vendors available Saturday and Sunday and hopes to begin his market in early July.

commentary EDITORIAL

Open up process of hiring SHS principal The Shakopee School Board in April hired Kim Swift as the new principal of Shakopee High School.

As we said previously in this space, she appears to be a good pick. We just wish the public would have been invited to be part of the selection process.

In March, the district formed a hiring committee to screen applicants and conduct interviews, according to Human Resources Manager Shaleen Roth. On March 14 it was announced that fi rst-round interviews were planned the following week.

That was the last scheduled regular board meeting until April 11, when Swift was hired. Those who read on this newspaper’s website and print edition that a principal was hired may have been surprised, since there was no news accounts of the fi nalists.

We were.

Seven candidates were part of fi rst-round interviews the week of March 21. The number was winnowed down to four finalists who were interviewed again the week of April 4. Swift was chosen from among the fi nalists: Shakopee High School’s Acting Principal Barb McNulty; Robert Metz, principal at St. Louis Park High School; and Steven Aeilts, assistant principal at Humboldt High School in St. Paul.

Roth and School Board members told the Valley News that the process for hiring administrators other than the superintendent has always been done this way. The board does not advertise when its administrative interviews are, although they are open to the public. In this case, School Board member Kathy Busch’s mention at the March 14 meeting of the pending fi rst-round interviews was it.

Thankfully, Shakopee has had long-term principals in recent years, so hiring for the position has been a rare event. But we think the position is important enough so that the public should be invited to be part of the process, such as the fi nal interviews.

(The current method for other administrators seems reasonable.)

To be clear: The School Board did nothing illegal and if anyone came to a committee session they could have listened in. But the point is, they weren’t invited to do so.

The interviews and the recommendation to the School Board were made by the committee and included three School Board members, the district’s Teaching and Learning Director Jayne Gibson, high school Activities Director John Janke, five high school staff members and two parents.

The School Board, including the

What do you think? Should the board actively invite the public to interview sessions for high school principal? Let us know how you feel at shakopeenews. com

four members not on the hiring committee, approved the committee’s recommendation. The four told the Valley News they didn’t know the names of all the fi nalists when they approved Swift though some said they knew McNulty was a finalist. The four did meet Swift briefly at a board work session prior to the vote, Board Member Chuck Berg said.

The committee was attracted to Swift’s experience and energy, said Board Member John Canny, who was on the committee. “We felt as a committee that she had the qualities that we were looking for and thought that she was good fit and would do well in the position,” added board and committee member Carla Shutrop.

Would the other four members of the School Board agree? We don’t know because they took the committee’s word for it, Appointing a committee to whittle down the applicants was a good and practical idea. But we think the full board should have been part of the final selection process beyond simply a pre-vote meet-and-greet. And members of the public should have been invited to be part of the question-andanswer session as well.

We also take issue with the position of Board Chairman Steve Schneider. He told the Valley News last week that, on principle, he favors a less public process in which candidate names are not published since it may deter good candidates who do not want to jeopardize their current position by making it known publicly they are looking elsewhere.

He’s not alone in that thinking.

In the recent past, members of many state school, city and county bodies, as well as the University of Minnesota Board of Regents, have taken the same position on the hiring of top administrators or, in the case of the regents, the university president.

Luckily, the courts did not agree.

They are right that public disclosure might keep some top candidates from applying. But that argument is trumped by an even stronger position: Hiring for the top positions in public bodies should be done in front of the public, not in back rooms or behind closed doors.

Introvert responds to extrovert assumptions The other day a friend of mine shared with me a list of myths about introverts. This sounds so much better than, “The other day one of my friends on Facebook shared a link to ‘The Top Ten Myths about Introverts,’” because this description could conjure up an image of a lone figure in a dark room crouched over a keyboard spending time with his only friends.

I am not that person, but neither am I one who wants to walk around with a “Hello, my name is ____” badge in a room full of people (strangers or acquaintances). I think I’m somewhere in the middle.

You, of course, will have your own opinions.

In general, an extrovert needs to be around other people to get energized; an introvert needs solitude to get re-energized after being with a group. I am not professionally trained as a psychologist, psychiatrist, therapist, counselor or a member of a religious order. So I really have no business even writing about this, but I fi nd it interesting — so there.

With tax hike the rich might leave the state To Gov. Mark Dayton: Be careful about coping failures. Your big push to raise taxes on the rich was tried in New York and California and in both cases resulted in many of the rich moving out of the states and taking their businesses with them.

So, instead of an increase of money to the state coffers they ended up with less and with business moving out, they also lost jobs and people moved as well, compounding the loss of tax income to the state. Now with the drop in state population both New York and California are losing representatives at the federal level.

On the other hand, Texas chose a route more favorable to people and business by lowering taxes and addressing state rules and regulations to help business and industry. The net effect was a stampede of companies from New York and California and other states moving to Texas and the people came along and the population grew and the taxes going to the state coffers also grew. Now the frosting on the cake for Texas is that they will add four new representatives at the federal level.

We have true samples of failure and success. Please follow the success route.

Lawmakers’ racino support lauded I would like to commend Sen. Claire Robling and Reps. Mike Beard and Mark Buesgens for continuing to back the racino legislation, a proposal they have supported for a number of years. As an area resident, I believe that now is the time to pass this legislation.

It is obvious that a budget compromise won’t be reached unless members of both parties are willing to move from their current positions.

racino legislation has long garnered the support of more than 70 percent of the citizens of Minnesota and the time has come when our state must utilize the funds these facilities would generate.

Using proceeds from gaming to help solve the budget deficit would put us on par with the majority of other states that have decided to authorize casino gaming within their borders. These states benefit from the tax revenue generated by slot machines and it is time that all Minnesotans benefit from this activity.

I urge Sen. Robling and Reps.

Beard and Buesgens to do everything within their power to make sure that the racino legislation is included in the fi nal budget deal.

Now is the time for this commonsense solution.

Tell governor to approve budget bill When sitting around the dinner table and discussing the day’s events, you may wonder, should I care about that shutdown thing in St. Paul? If you live in Scott County, the answer is ABSOLUTELY! If you want evidence as to how big our state government has grown, and how intertwined it is now with our daily lives, here are some examples of how Gov. Dayton’s shutdown will hurt you.

I Construction at Highway 169 and Interstate Highway 494 will cease, and will be set back substantially, including an increase in the costs of the project. The project, while funded by federal dollars, is managed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and cannot continue without supervision of MnDOT employees. I hope you are ready for more delays!

I Canterbury Park will shut

down, laying off hundreds of nongovernment employees. The shutdown puts more than just state employees out of work. Also, it reduces local tax revenues and will potentially drive other taxes up to make up the difference.

I No more fi shing licenses. Get that license now because without the state-run systems, you cannot put a line in the water if you haven’t already purchased your license.

I Staycation! Do you have Fourth of July plans for camping in a state park? They will be closing too! I’d recommend making alternative arrangements. Perhaps the local KOA for example.

These are just a few examples of how the activity in St. Paul will hurt Scott County residents, not even including the health services that will be impacted. I would encourage you to call Gov. Dayton and ask him why he is putting us all at risk, and choosing to ignore the compromise already put forth by the Republican Legislature. He can be reached at (651) 296-3391.

Inequality in public schools First, allow me to admit that I am a no-holds-barred, staunch proponent of public education. If I were king, there would be nothing but public schools — in the purest sense.

There would be no charter schools, private schools, home schools, magnet schools, or vouchers. As king, however, I would also insist that public schools need to do some things differently. For example, I would issue a decree that public schools should be in operation year-round. Another decree I would consider is moving all athletic activities out from the jurisdiction of public schools. The activities would be community-

based. And, this is why a lot of my friends and adversaries are happy that I’m not king.

The public schools have been a powerful contributor to the success of individuals, families, communities, states, and America as a whole. Our public schools — now, more than ever — must continually search out ways whereby they can improve.

However, before methods of improvement are determined and implemented, it would be wise for educators and others to remember some advice contained in the literature pertaining to the work of physicians: To do good or to do no harm. With that in mind, educators, policymakers and

Commentary EDITOR’S NOTE

Son’s accomplishments started small, got bigger

BY PAT MINELLI

Our son Matthew turned 18 on April 13, the same age as many of his fellow classmates in the class of 2011. Only thing is, Matthew’s birthday should have been in late July or early August. Matthew was born at 25 weeks — 15 weeks early — tipping the scales at 1 pound, 11 ounces. Please indulge me as I get personal today with the new high school graduate.

that we don’t like people; it’s just that our friends are fewer and closer and may last a lifetime. It just takes a little longer to get to know us – but it’s worth the time spent.”

Myth No. 5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public. “I just like to take it in smaller amounts. The stimulus, the conversations, the interactions must be taken in and mulled over. I need some time to sort it all out.”

Myth No. 6 – Introverts always want to be alone. “Not always. Sometimes I need a few minutes alone to think.

I can be very happy just daydreaming. But solitude can change to loneliness if there is no one to share my thoughts with.

Myth No. 7 – Introverts are weird. “There you are being rude again. You think I am weird because I don’t always go with the group. I usually like to think things through and may choose to follow a different path than the one you’re on.”

Myth No. 8 – Introverts are aloof nerds. “What, more

continued from page 4

introvert may say to an extrovert if pushed.

Myth No. 1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. “That’s like saying extroverts don’t like to listen. A good conversationalist is one who is both a good listener and a thoughtful speaker.”

Myth No. 2 – Introverts are shy. “I think your confusing shyness with being reserved.

Not everyone is quick to show their cards. Some will choose to pass and not play. It is only after they have watched a few rounds that they will choose to participate.”

Myth No. 3 – Introverts are rude. “Now who’s being rude? Would you rather I toss out meaningless pleasantries to make you feel comfortable?

An introvert would rather be direct and sincere than to run around the woods trying to become one of the trees just to fit in.”

Myth No. 4 – Introverts don’t like people. “It’s not

name calling? Keep it up and you’ll never get to know me. I would rather be thought aloof than a fool who speaks and acts without thinking. I am just trying to be careful and considerate.”

Myth No. 9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun. “My idea of fun is just different than yours. It may involve a more private and quiet activity. I need time away from the noise so that I can unwind and recharge my batteries.”

Myth No. 10 – Introverts can fi x themselves and become extroverts. “I don’t think I need to be fi xed.

Sometimes I need to be alone, and other times I need the company of others. I think that most people are like that. But please let’s dispense with the name tags, I will introduce myself when I am ready.”

Matt Minelli at about 3 or 4 weeks old. fairly normally. Your timing was good this time, Matt.

You had heart surgery when you were 4 days old because there was some leakage — things didn’t seal up like they normally would if you would have “stayed in the oven.” One of your vocal cords was severed during surgery, which gave you a little rasp in your voice that you despise today.

For the first month or so, we didn’t know what you looked like. That’s because your eyes — which weren’t open yet anyway — had patches on them. Then there was the tube in your mouth, and all kinds of lead wires to various monitors covered with tape to hold them in place.

After the first month, the nurses said one of us could hold you, but just for a minute.

That meant pulling out some monitor connections so there wasn’t time for both mom and dad to hold you. I got to be first. You were swaddled in a blanket with a blue tossel cap on and to be honest, it was like holding a blanket. I couldn’t feel you. But it meant the world to me.

We drove to Minneapolis every single day you were there. One day, the nurses excitedly told us it was time for the “ring picture.” That meant putting your fist through dad’s wedding band.

It’s hard to believe now, Matt, but there was enough room for at least two of your fists. And that’s when you had grown some at about 4 weeks old.

You were like a little bird in many ways, Matt. Really.

For the longest time, you couldn’t cry. Well, I mean, you did cry but no sound came out. I think about that often now that you are a teenager, since I think you talk too much sometimes.

And did you know that they fed you directly into your stomach? I’ll never forget how excited your nurse was when we walked in one day and she told us that you ate through your mouth. Of course, “eating” consisted of using a dropper to put some nutritious liquid in your mouth. But that same day, some bacteria got in your system and you were very close to leaving us. It was a long night.

Actually, you were close to leaving us many, many times.

One time, you were having a particularly bad day and we stayed with you well into the evening. Finally, the medical staff was able to stabilize you.

I will never forget when one of the doctors came up to us and said, “You can go home now and get some rest. I don’t think Matthew is going to die tonight.”

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Matt Minelli of the class of 2011.

Children’s, you were transferred to Children’s special-care unit at Fairview Ridges in Burnsville, where one nurse looked over two babies. A doctor from Children’s drove there to check on you each day.

You had to stay there until you reached around 5 pounds and quit having A and B spells. It was frustrating, even as we neared the weight when you could go home, because you continued to have the spells. That’s normal, a nurse told me. “Around here, we look at it as, two steps forward, one step back,” she said.

You were at Burnsville for another eight weeks, so you spent your first 16 weeks in hospitals.

Finally, you came home on a heart monitor, which would warn us if your heart rate dropped. And warn us it did, hundreds of times, night and day, but really it was because the sticky monitor connections would come loose. Your crib had to be in our room and we had to leave a lamp on all night. That’s because if the alarm did go off, they didn’t want us to get up and turn on a light, which to a developing baby like you might serve as a stimulus to begin breathing. They didn’t want you to learn to depend on the stimulus.

You were on the monitor for a year. One day, we came home from the clinic without it. We put you in the crib and turned out the light. But mom and dad didn’t sleep much as we quietly got up several times to watch you breathe.

And now here you are.

A high school graduate. We were very lucky you survived your ordeal as a baby, Matt.

But in many ways, we’re even luckier you turned out to be a nice guy and a good person with a good heart who genuinely cares about others.

Congratulations on all of the above. We love you.

Dear Matt, Well, you sure were a troublemaker as a kid.

I’m joking, of course.

Truth is, we are very lucky you came through your birth ordeal with few problems.

Babies born at 37 weeks or less are considered premature. At 25 weeks, you were extremely premature. In fact, you were right on the edge of being considered viable.

Many babies in your situation face lifelong problems, such as vision and hearing loss, breathing and respiratory issues, intellectual shortcomings, cerebral palsy, and feeding and digestive challenges, to name just a few.

We still don’t know why you jumped the gun and came out early. After mom and dad got over the initial shock when the doctor told us you were on your way, we wondered what you would look like. Would you look human? Would you have webbed fingers and toes?

You arrived on a Tuesday morning at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis so you could be rushed through a tunnel to the connecting Minneapolis Children’s Hospital. A surgical team performed the Caesarean section, while a team of doctors and nurses from Children’s Hospital’s neonatal intensive-care unit (NICU) waited a few feet away with a special incubator for premature babies, already powered with heat and oxygen.

When you came out, of course, we worried if you were even alive, and as I said, wondered what you would look like. A nurse named Kari from NICU, who would become one of your primary nurses, announced with her smiling eyes, “You sure have a beautiful baby boy.”

And beautiful you were.

You could easily fit in the palm of your dad’s hand, and even though there wasn’t much to you, you were all there. All babies lose some water and their birth weight drops, as did yours. You were probably just a hair over 1 pound.

We soon found out that severely premature babies aren’t just small on the outside. Lots of things on the inside aren’t ready to function normally yet, and that’s the cause of many, many problems and much anxiety for parents and doctors alike.

If you are ever around an NICU and hear the term “A’s and B’s,” I can tell you what they mean. Because your brain wasn’t developed, it would sometimes forget to tell you to breathe (apnea) or your heart to properly beat (bradycardia). For the eight weeks you were at Children’s in Minneapolis, you had one nurse assigned just to you, 24 hours a day. When you had a spell of A’s and B’s, a red light above your incubator would flash as an initial warning and then, if the situation failed to rectify itself, a bell would ring and your nurse would open the little portholes of your incubator and tickle your chest, blow some oxygen on your face or give you oxygen.

We gauged your progress largely by the number of A’s and B’s you had each day. We had a special phone number we could call, day or night, to see how you were doing. I woke up many times in the middle of the night thinking about you and would crawl out of bed to call and see how you were doing.

The biggest issue for preemies, Matt, is undeveloped lungs. Luckily, the medical world came out with a drug just a couple years before your birth that helps lungs open up and function

Devlin

Maddie enjoys playing with dogs and gentle kids. She is crate- and house-trained, enjoys petting, does OK on a leash, but would love a fenced yard. Maddie, a terrier/husky mix, was born in March 2009 and now weighs 28 pounds.

She’s a door-greeter and responds well to clicker training.

She switched foster homes and warmed up quickly. She needs a family willing to help her over her shyness of new people and unknown noises.

Bring out the laser, wand toys or mice and Devlin will entertain himself and you. This quiet, easygoing, mostly black male was born in June 2010.

He is friendly with most cats, dogs and kids 4 and up. Devlin will stay for a short time on your lap, rub against your legs, and hope for petting and tummy rubs. He looks forward to brushing and enjoys being picked up. Is it time for a new companion for the new year?

Love’s greatest gift — Remembrance

Elmer W. Clarke Born Nov. 17, 1913 in St. Paul, Elmer was the only child of Walker C. and Georgia L. (Bryan) Clarke. Growing up in St. Paul, he attended and later proudly graduated from Central High School. In 1926, his family purchased lake shore property and built one of the first cabins on Prior Lake. The cabin nestled in a remote area, was a difficult build. The supplies were floated from Spring Lake, through the creek, into Prior Lake, to where Elmer still currently lived. This home has brought the family many great memories throughout the years.

Following high school, Elmer loved attending dances at the Spring Lake Pavilion. It was here he met a young lady named Margaret Clemens. They danced the night away and in May of 1931 in St. Paul, they were married. Elmer and Margaret were blessed with four beautiful children, Ronald, Charles, Betty and Duane.

During Elmer’s working years, he first started working in the shipyards in Savage and later on holding many positions working in the tool and die industries. A man of many talents, known as Prior Lake’s handy man, Elmer could fix or built just about anything.

He had a love for baseball. Elmer played amateur ball for the Prior Lake Jay’s for many years. This love of the game continued, he had a long softball career, well into his 60’s and still pitched a game in his 70’s. Elmer passed down this passion of ball on to his boys, were they played many years side by side. He also enjoyed bowling and was an avid fan of the Minnesota Twins and Vikings. Elmer relished in being a neighbor to Matt Burke and he too graduated from Central High School.

Enjoying the outdoors, Elmer had the privilege to operate the first snowmobiles on ice fishing trips by Crane Lake. Telling many stories along the way of his adventures, this area also brought great family times deer hunting with his sons. They also enjoyed many duck hunting excursion to St. Patrick and Lac Qui Parle. In his spare time, he loved stopping by garage sales, in hopes of finding a special treasure. Elmer will always be remembered for his dogs, all named Bingo.

His life was filled with 97 years of wonderful memories, treasures adventures and precious time spent with family and friends. Elmer’s wish over the past five years was to be able to spend his last days in his home. His wish was granted with the help of his granddaughter, Chris Clarke.

His goal was to reach 100 years of age; he came up a bit short, but ran an excellent race. Elmer passed away peacefully with his family at his side, in the early morning hours of Sunday, June 26, 2011 at his home in Prior Lake.

Elmer is loved and will be deeply missed by sons, Ronald (Olivia) Clarke of St. Paul, Charles (Dody) Clarke of Hastings, Duane (Diane) Clarke of Savage; daughter, Betty Franek of Montgomery: 14 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren; five great-great grandchildren; and many other loving relatives and friends. Elmer is preceded in death by his wife, Margaret (Feb. 28, 1993); parents; and son-in-law, Dick Franek Visitation was Wednesday, June 29 from 4-7 p.m. and also one hour prior to the service, all at Ballard-Sunder Funeral Home 4565 Pleasant St. SE, Prior Lake. The Celebration of Life Service will be Thursday, June 30 at 11 a.m. at the funeral home. Pastor A. Paul Olson will officiate. Pallbearers will be Dean Clarke, Dick Franek, Jeff Franek, David Franek, Chad Schmieg and Chris Stromwall.

Elmer will be laid to rest next to his wife at St. Michael’s Catholic Cemetery in Prior Lake.

Mary Moriarty Galvani Mary Galvani died at the rich, full age of 96 from an aortic aneurysm Friday, June 17, 2011. Born March 30, 1915 in Shakopee to Judge Joseph J. and Margaret Henrietta Moriarty, she was preceded in death by parents; beloved husband, Vincent J. Galvani; sister, Dr. Harriet Burns; three Mannix, Louis, and Patrick Moriarty.

Mary Galvani graduated from medical school of the University of Minnesota in 1940 with a Bachelor of Science in medical technology during the depths of the depression.

Always encouraged to confront challenges and gender prejudices by her father, the judge, and her mother (who was an early 1900's graduate of Moorehead Normal school, a teacher, and one of the first presidents of the Minnesota League of Women Voters), Mary upon graduation moved to Bakersfield, CA to work as a medical technologist. After World War II broke out in Europe, she moved to the Chicago area and became a bacteriologist in the Michael Reese Research Institute, where she was the only female among the 140 chemists working at the Kingsbury Ordinance Plant in Indiana. There she met her husband, Vincent J. Galvani, who was then the chief chemist at the Kingsbury facility and was later commissioned for military service and involvement with The Manhattan Project, where he was instrumental in developing the triggering mechanism for the deliverance of the atomic bomb. In 1949, she settled with her husband and family in St. Paul, MN. After raising her children in St. Paul with the same ethic as her parents', she continued her trailblazing in 1967, long before the Women's Lib Movement of the 1960's and 1970's was well-defined, by responding to a "Help Wanted: Male" classified ad searching for a chief bacteriologist at the St. Paul Water Department. As reported in the St. Paul Pioneer Press feature at the time, she reasoned, "It didn't say a woman need not apply. So I did." As the highest ranking candidate interviewed at the Civil Service Bureau, she won the job and became the only woman at the City's Waterworks Filtration Plant. During her career there, she patented a process and media for the speciation of strep, which became a much-cited patent in the investigation of ecoli contanimation, and has led to the saving of many lives.

Upon retirement Mary moved to Southampton, NY and later to New York City to enjoy her granchildren and imbue yet another generation with the Moriarty Minnesotan ethic.

There she lived until her death. Mrs. Galvani was also an avid collector of Chinese and Korean porcelains and she instructed classes in their beauty and authenticity.

She is survived by son, Patrick of Chicago IL; daughters, Ann Galvani, Esq., formerly of Scarsdale, NY and now of Palm Beach, FL, and Gail Bell, an actor, of New York City; son-in-law, David Bell, who was like a son to her; five grandchildren, Dr. Alison Galvani (a Yale professor and renowned epidemiologist), Amy Schneiderman (a contemporary artist), Jason Tyler (N.Y.U. law graduate), Ashley Bell (an opera soprano), and Andrew Bell (a graduate student at the Columbia School of Journalism); three great grandchildren, Sarah, Evan, and Emily Galvani-Townsend; many dear nieces and nephews.

effects of farming. It was approved 3-2 by the City Council last week after a spirited discussion, with Councilors Steve Clay and Matt Lehman in opposition.

Converting to alfalfa will change the tax status to agricultural and lower Ryan’s tax bill by $230,000. The majority of the tax loss will be felt by metro and state tax pools, however, not the city. The lost revenue will be absorbed by the other Minnesota businesses.

Clay said the city already granted Ryan Co. a major gift when it permitted homes in the development, which was previously zoned only for business use.

“We’ve been bending over backwards to help you guys from the get-go,” Clay said.

“Now you want to squeak out $ 231,000 from the tax base.

We’ve given you more than we should have to begin with. At some point your development is your development, you pay your taxes and quit whining.”

Hankinson said Ryan has created an approximately $22 million tax base already. “In the last eight years on old farmland, we’ve been paying a much higher appreciation of taxes.”

C ou nci lor Pa mel a P u nt praised Ryan for putting together a well-thought-through plan and trying to keep Dean Lakes viable.

“We got to work with them in this economy,” concurred Councilor Pat Heitzman.

A TOUGH SELL Dean Lakes, hallmarked by its wetland area and woods, was established as a 272-acre mixed-use development under a special agreement called a planned-unit development. The 2003 plan called for business, commercial and residential use, but didn’t allow for agriculture. At the time, Ryan said it needed income from the housing development to help fund the rest of its project.

The residential portion has essentially fi lled out. The commercial portion has also gone well, Hankinson said, but Ryan has struggled to complete its 80-acre business park.

Although envisioned as a premier business district for companies looking to make a move for more room, only two multiple-story office buildings have been built — Open Systems and Q-Logic.

Hankinson ran through a list of potential clients that have stayed put or found a cheaper place to build or lease.

“It’s one of the worst economies since the Great Depression,” he said. “There’s very

Youths ages 12 to 16 years old are invited to go catfi shing on the Minnesota River with members of the local law enforcement community.

The Scott County Sheriff’s Office is holding its 11th annual Youth Catfishing Tournament on Monday, Aug. 8. The event will start at 7 a.m. and end with an awards ceremony at approximately 3:30 p.m. Par-

ticipants will meet at the Scott Cou nt y Fai rg rou nds nea r Jordan, then spend most of the day on the Minnesota River trying to catch one of the biggest fish in North America.

Prizes will be awarded and all participants will receive a prize. Fishing gear and other supplies will be provided free.

Applications will be accepted from July 6-31 or until all spots are filled. Space is limited to 50 participants. Priority will be given to individuals who did not participate last year.

The city initially received some concerns about potential dust from farming operations proposed in the Dean Lakes development. These concerns appeared to be alloyed after Ryan Company met with homeowners about its plan and received a favorable review from the association board.

By the numbers Dean Lakes mixed-use development: 272 acres Vacant business land: 84 acres 2010 business property taxes paid: $2.3 million Land to be farmed: 60 acres Tax reduction for ag use: $231,031 City loss: $7,600

little build-to-suit in the metro area.”

“Is that a make or break deal for your company?” asked Clay.

“I would say that $250,000 is a substantial amount of money,” Hankinson responded.

“Compound that over fou r years, it’s $1 million.”

“It must be tough being a shark instead of a little fish,” said Clay.

“We’re absolutely not trying to be a shark; we’re trying to have a community here. I would argue Dean Lakes is probably your premier business park in Scott County,” Hankinson said.

“I do feel that’s a little unfair,” he added. “A shark?”

“OK, you’re not a shark, but you’re big boys and play in the big boys’ arena,” said Clay.

“That’s the nature of commercial/industrial development. You take some hits when the economy waxes and weans. You also make a tremendous profit when the economy is booming.”

“Do you view Dean Lakes at all as a partnership, with what we’re trying to bring to the city of Shakopee and us taking a risk?” asked Casey.

“We’ve been a partner with you and bent over backwards to do so,” Clay said.

“It sounds like a reasonable request,” said Mayor John Schmitt, who asked Clay to tone

it down. Schmitt pointed out other developers are allowed to farm vacant land in the city.

The agreement will last seven years, and Ryan can develop the land at any point.

Lehman preferred a shorter time period than the Planning Commission had suggested.

Worship Directory

FARMING PRACTICES The approximately 60 acres to be farmed lie south and north of Dean Lakes Boulevard, bordering a residential neighborhood.

Alfalfa, a deep-rooted plant with a year-round canopy, will be used because it limits dust and is better for soil runoff than row crops. The canopy also shades out weeds, which can eliminate pesticide use.

Ryan Co. has promised to buffer storm-sewer ponds and natural areas to limit runoff.

The company is restricted from using pesticides or fertilizers on more than half the land by the city. North of Dean Lakes Boulevard, no pesticides will ever be allowed, and only organic fertilizer will allowed there in the fi rst year.

On the rest, Ryan says only Round-Up will be applied — a pesticide considered to have low toxity — and it will be carefully sprayed with a GPS-controlled system. A soil sample will be taken every spring to make sure there is no leaching.

Ryan, which has built trails and interpretive areas through the development, already has a conservation plan in place.

It has performed wetland mitigation and nearly eradicated buckthorn from the area.

A previous developer cut approximately 50 acres of oak woodland, creating an uprising in the community, which led to the creation of the city’s environmental advisory committee and stricter development standards.

RELAY continued from page 1

“I Have Been Blessed” is perhaps a strange title for a woman who’s lived with breast cancer 15 years, until you meet Heaton. She’s a woman that exudes positivity.

“You can have surgeries, you can have a chemo plan, you can have a supportive family, [but] it’s kind of up to you to make that decision that you’re going to do battle and beat the cancer,” Heaton said.

“She never gives up,” said friend and fellow breast cancer survivor Gwen Flaata.

“She just continues on and doesn’t give in to what’s going on in her body.”

First diagnosed with stage-four breast cancer in December 1997 — nine months after she found a lump in her breast — Heaton underwent an aggressive treatment plan: a double mastectomy, chemotherapy and 35 days of radiation.

She opted not to take the lone medication available to patients with her type of breast cancer, risking the chance of return. Five years later, it did come back, spreading into her bones. She restarted treatment, which she continues to this day.

But Heaton is less likely to focus on those dates — though she remembers them all — than reflect on the blessings found in her 15-year battle.

Like the fact that cancer research has progressed so that she now has a growing stock of new medications available to her. Her cancer is less a terminal illness and more a manageable, chronic disease, she said. “I had one option in ’97 and now it’s 2011 and you have lots of options.”

Another blessing, Heaton said, is that she’s been spared the painful side effects many experience during treatment. Until this year, she never experienced illness or physical deterioration or missed days from her former job as a pharmaceutical recruiter.

The biggest blessing, though, is her 11-year-old son, Parker. He was born between her two cancer bouts after she thought the chemo had sent her into early menopause.

“Miracles do happen,” she said.

Heaton, who has spent the last few years as a stay-at-home mom, is wellknown in the Prior Lake community for her volunteer work. She organizes the Laker Idol variety show during Lakefront Days, coordinates Prior Lake Optimist Club’s annual high school Oratorical Contest and organizes Parents’ Night Out at Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church in Prior Lake.

She’s also used these last few years to form a support group, The Uplifters, a smallministry group for breast cancer survivors that gathers every January for a big bash to celebrate living.

Heaton said while the women share a tragic diagnosis, they rarely talk about cancer. Flaata, a sixyear cancer survivor from Savage, appreciates the unity of the group.

“We always leave very uplifted and fulfi lled knowing where we are in our lives and knowing where we came from with breast cancer,” she said.

Heaton has participated with the Scott County Relay for Life about six years. Her favorite part is the luminaria

ceremony when people walk the lighted track.

Events like Relay for Life and Susan G. Komen’s Race for the Cure, which Heaton has participated in for 15 years, promote living by celebrating life, she said.

She loves seeing people so connected, working toward a common goal.

“You actually feel that you’re part of a larger family than you can ever have in your house and that makes it so worth it,” she said.

This year, local residents have an even better way to give back and be a part of something by enrolling in the Cancer Prevention Study-3.

The American Cancer Society is seeking to enroll 500,000 people nationwide to give blood and then document their health habits periodically over the next 20 to 30 years to help researchers better understand cancer.

The Scott County Relay for Life is one of only four such Minnesota events selected as enrollment sites this year.

Residents can enroll from 6 to 10 p.m. at the July 8 event.

What better way, Heaton said, for family and friends to support their loved ones living with cancer than by enrolling in the study. “You can be part of an amazing study to help us get our hands around this disease,” she said.

“We have an opportunity by coming together to do so much more.”

After 15 years, Heaton has learned a lot about a cancer, but the biggest lesson, she said, is what she values the most: “That you could live, really live a long and healthy life,” Heaton said. “Now I know that.”

Maxine Benton traveled a lot, then found her place

Retiring kindergarten teacher Debra O’Neill works with Eagle Creek Elementary kindergartner Julia Witt in her morning class last month.

RETIREMENT continued from page 1

worked in nearly all of the district’s elementary buildings, starting in Pearson, spending two stints at Central Elementary and opening both Red Oak Elementary and Eagle Creek.

O’Neill’s love of music is well-known. The last district kindergarten teacher with a piano in her classroom, O’Neill uses song for nearly everything.

“You walk past Deb’s classroom and there’s always a lot of singing going on,” said Eagle Creek Principal Libby Bergen. “She’s still the piano-playing kindergarten teacher some of us remember

fondly from our own days in school.”

While she didn’t enjoy the packing — “That poor piano has been carted around this school district so many times” — she never minded moving.

The new environment brought “a little freshness” to her job and she met a lot of great people, she said.

That said, O’Neill knows she’s going to miss her coworkers, the kids and their parents.

“After having worked in Shakopee for 28 years, I’ve met so many great parents,” she said.

O’Neill plans to spend her first year of retirement babysitting her 2-year-old grandson, William.

“I’m going to be Grandma

day care,” said O’Neill, who has two adult children. “It just seemed like the right time for me to do that.”

Her husband, Steve, a teacher in the Wayzata School District, will retire next year and the couple is looking forward to more traveling.

Avid hikers, they hike Glacial National Park every summer.

O’Neill also enjoys reading, gardening and walking her big golden retriever, Ty. Once the fall comes and school supplies hit the shelves, O’Neill knows it will be sad not going back into the classroom. She’s enjoyed absolutely every minute of teaching and will miss it tremendously.

“It was just something that I was meant to do,” she said.

Maxine Benton worked in many places before landing at Shakopee Junior High School in fall 1985. Yet, she knew right away it was the place for her.

Benton, 61, retired last winter due to health issues. While it wasn’t how she wanted to say goodbye, she has no regrets.

“I walked away with a big smile on my face because I made a difference in a lot of kids’ lives and I made some great friends,” the Bloomington resident said.

Benton’s career path wasn’t a straight line. Growing up in Victoria, she wanted to drive race cars, but girls didn’t do that. She loved animals and thought about being a veterinarian. But that took a lot of schooling and money.

Instead, the athletic Benton ended up at Mankato State University studying to be a physical-education teacher.

But an accident led her to become an elementary teacher instead.

Un for tunately, teaching positions were hard to get when she graduated, so Benton moved to Australia. When she returned home, she taught at Mount Olivet Rolling Acres in Chanhassen.

“I found that I had a knack for kids that had disabilities, no matter what range of disabilities they have,” Benton said.

She earned a special-education degree from St. Thomas University and moved to

Maxine Benton Texas. Within a couple years she married her husband, Michael, and was back in Minnesota. She applied for a job at Shakopee Junior High.

“It just turned out it was my niche. I just love junior high kids,” Benton said. “You have to wear so many hats when you’re teaching. Some days you’re a teacher. Some days you’re a mom. Some days you’re a counselor. I just really loved it.”

Over her 25 years, Benton worked with students with learning disabilities. In the beginning, she taught pull-out classes, but special education changed, she said. Benton found herself doing a lot more homework late in the evenings and striving to keep up on the growing mount of paperwork.

While she doesn’t miss the paperwork, she likes the direction special education is heading. Today, special education students are mainstreamed as

much as possible with special ed teachers co-teaching in a regular classroom.

Benton believes this strategy is more inclusive. Special education students become more independent while regular education students receive diverse instruction and more individualized help.

“I think it’s meeting all the kids’ needs,” Benton said.

“Really, it’s the best of both worlds.”

Benton, who was diagnosed with mouth cancer in 2010 and has undergone four surgeries, said retirement really hasn’t set in yet. While she has more time for gardening and attending theater and concert events with friends, she’s really looking forward to getting stronger so she can travel. An avid photographer, Benton has traveled to all the continents except South America (Antarctica doesn’t count, she said, because no one wants to go there.)

Still, Benton misses the relationships she built with junior high staff, students and parents.

She recalled a visit by a former student, a graduate of a Denver arts school, a couple years ago. While browsing through his photographs, he told her she was his inspiration for pursuing photography.

Benton said it’s moments like that, visiting with former students, that confirm this was the right place for her.

“It gave me a validation that I know I made a difference in their life,” she said.

Kindergarteners were ‘day brightener’ for Betty Balk

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

Longtime Sweeney Elementary teacher Betty Balk isn’t one for big honors.

In fact, when she announced her retirement last summer, she told Sweeney Principal Dave Orlowsky there better not be a party.

Balk might not like the limelight but for three decades, she played an important role in introducing Shakopee’s youngest students to school.

Orlowsky described her as an icon, loved by kids and parents. “She worked really hard for her kids,” he said.

Balk was hired as a longterm substitute teacher at Sweeney in 1974. The gig turned into a full-time job and Balk ended up staying with the Shakopee School District 30 years at both Sweeney and Central Elementary.

What she loved best was the 5-year-olds’ energy.

“It didn’t matter how you felt when you got to school in the morning. You just knew were ready for a day full of surprises and questions and excitement and tons of learning,” she said.

Balk, 58, came to Shakopee after marrying her husband, Joe. She had spent four years in Pine River, Minn., before moving to the “Beaver Cleaver town” of Shakopee, as she described its smalltown atmosphere back in the day.

Back then few kids went to preschool and there was much less diversity.

Kindergarten was about socializing and learning school rules and expectations, she said.

Betty Balk, longtime Sweeney Elementary kindergarten teacher, incorporated a lot of singing and music in her teaching. She retired last summer after 30 years with the Shakopee School District.

Balk theorizes one of the reasons she ended up in kindergarten was because she didn’t like her own firstgrade teacher. She remembers playing sick a lot to avoid going to school. As a teacher, she knew how important it was to get kids off on the right foot.

When she started, Balk said a lot of her job was helping students adjust to leaving their parents. She recalled many came to school the first day crying.

“Over the years that has changed,” Balk said. “Now we have parents crying at the separation instead. The kids are use to being away.”

The Savage resident decided to retire last year partly to spend more time with her mother, who lives near Aitkin, Minn. She’s also enjoyed traveling, refinishing

furniture, gardening, quilting and spending time with family.

“It’s nice to have extra time for projects around the house that have been neglected for 30 years,” she said.

Balk misses working with Sweeney staff, students and parents, noting she always had great support from administrators and parents.

Her favorite part of the job, however, was interacting with students. She was always amazed at how much they grew and changed from September to June.

Balk was always the first teacher at school every day and often the last at night, Orlowsky said. He can’t say enough about the positive, dedicated and talented teacher.

“She did her job because she loved it,” he said.

Always principals’ right hand

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

Jeanne Frey remembers walking past her high school principal office as a teenager thinking she’d one day like to work in a school office.

Who would have thought she’d make a career out of it?

Frey will retire this summer after 36 years as a secretary in the Shakopee School District. She saw much change and growth in her tenure, and she’s never been bored.

“Even going to a new school felt like a new job,” she said.

Frey’s current role is administrative assistant at Eagle Creek Elementary where her duties include sending out report cards, tracking enrollment and ordering school supplies. The beginning and end of the school year are always the office’s busiest times.

“It’s hard to get used to the quietness after the school year is out,” she said.

Frey, 63, began working for the school district in 1974 as an

office assistant at the K-6 Central Elementary. Central was only one of three buildings in the district with 375 students.

Eagle Creek Elementary today has 850 with much more diversity. “The district has changed that way,” she said.

From typewriters to computers, Frey’s office work has changed. In the early years, her responsibilities included taking attendance and lunch count by hand. There were no telephones in the classrooms; all messages had to be delivered over the intercom.

Frey, who grew up on a farm near Cologne, recalls using a “ditto machine” to make carbon copies and a stencil mimeograph machine. Now all copies are made at Central Duplicating.

In all her years with the district, Frey has worked with only four principals – Dick Nordstrom, Donna Harms, Mike Neubeck and Libby Bergen.

Frey has been with Bergen, current Eagle Creek principal, the longest having moved with

her from Central to Sun Path Elementary in 1999. She followed Bergen to Eagle Creek in 2007.

“We know each other so well and we’ve worked together so closely for so long, there’s a lot of things that go unsaid,” Bergen said.

In a busy school office where multitasking is key, Frey’s consistency and reliability are essential, Bergen said. “I can’t express enough how wonderful it has been to work with someone you can count on day in and day out.”

Frey’s husband, Joe, is retiring the same day – June 30 – from Mid America Festivals so the couple is looking forward to spending more time at its RV in Cannon Falls. Frey also plans to work in her large garden, travel and spend time with her three kids and one grandchild.

While she’ll miss the camaraderie with Eagle Creek teachers and staff, she said she’s ready for retirement.

“I just feel it’s my time,” Frey said.

‘People person’ found her niche in district

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

Nancy Bodeen has been retired just a couple weeks now, and she’s still feeling out the new territory.

“It’s different. I hope I like it,” she said.

This isn’t Bodeen’s first time leaving the Shakopee School District, though.

Twice before she resigned and twice before she had the good fortune to be rehired, the 67-year-old Shakopee resident said. This time, however, the longtime secretary is leaving for good, just one month shy of 30 years with the district.

Born and raised in Chi-

cago and northern Wisconsin, Bodeen came to Shakopee after high school. Her kids were in elementary school when Pearson Elementary Principal Virgil Mears hired her to work in the school office.

That was a desired position for a young mom raising kids, Bodeen said, even if it only paid $2.43 an hour.

Bodeen has always done clerical work for the district as an office assistant, district office secretary and early childhood family education (ECFE) assistant. Her most recent position was in the community education office, taking registrations and handling the switchboard. She worked that

job off and on for 10 years.

Bodeen’s responsibilities over the years have varied widely, including managing high school transcripts and building the substitute teacher system. Bodeen noted Shakopee has some fi ne substitute teachers.

During her 11 years with ECFE, Bodeen enjoyed updating the district’s census using St. Francis Regional Medical Center birth records. Her favorite responsibility was when she worked with the district’s human resources office and she called people to let them know they got the job.

All those tasks gave her great opportunities to meet

many people.

“I’ve done so many jobs in the district over the years that it’s hard to narrow it down,” she said. “I’m kind of a people person.”

Community Education Director Bob Greeley said Bodeen always has a smile on her face and terrific customer service.

“She had that knack or skill to easily [meet and great people],” Greeley said. “The school district was fortunate to have her for that many years.”

Bodeen said her decision to retire came about quickly after being asked to do more training. She decided it was time for her to do other things, though she’s not exactly sure

what that will be.

She expects to spend more time with 9- and 6-year-old grandkids, as well as travel, read and volunteer with the CAP Agency. Bodeen, who has been volunteering with the agency 16 years, works in the thrift shop.

The coffee reception her coworkers threw her to celebrate her retirement May 31 was a humbling and emotional experience, Bodeen said. She has formed wonderful friendships over the years, particularly with the community education staff.

She’s always had great bosses, superintendents and school boards and was grateful Mears

Nancy Bodeen kept hiring her back all those years ago.

“I can’t say enough about the district,” she said.

others must address a most significant issue: The inequity that exists in regard to our system of public schools.

In Education 101, college students, who aspire to be educators, are exposed to some fundamental research.

One piece of such research, completed in 1966 by James Coleman and his associates, found that schools do not have as much influence on student achievement as compared to factors such as home/family life, social/economic status, and related factors outside of school. In 1972, Christopher Jencks and his research team found that schools may actually perpetuate and even exacerbate the inequities that students bring to school.

In other words, not only do the schools not do good in overcoming the inequities, but they may actually do harm in terms of solidifying them.

There is also considerable research analyzed in Education 101 that provides more constructive findings than what was described previously. That is, what schools do and how they do it can, indeed, enable students to overcome the “baggage” that they bring with them to the classroom. Schools, in essence, can be encouraging or discouraging, which is demonstrated by the school’s expectations, belief system,

culture, competence of the staff members, etc. In an encouraging school, positive student outcomes follow.

In my life as a public school student, I remember one educator, in particular: Mrs. Olsson, my high school English teacher. It was just one 30-second conversation with Mrs. Olsson that I have never forgotten. It was early in May, a few weeks before graduation. Mrs. Olsson had given a writing assignment.

As was her custom, she would circulate around the classroom, stopping at each student’s desk to check on the progress and the quality of the writing. She stopped at my desk, in the back of the room, under the American flag. She read the first paragraph of my writing and said that I was on the right track.

She asked, “What do you plan to do after you graduate?”

I replied, “I’m not exactly sure, but I’m thinking about joining the Air Force.”

She countered with the following: “Well … that’s a good choice. But, just keep in mind that you can do anything that you want to do.”

Why do I remember the conversation? In a word, it was encouraging, as was her classroom and the school I attended. I was, indeed, fortunate.

Norwegian Church as the son of a farmer/insurance salesman/longtime county commissioner. His parents, McBroom said, always valued education and taught him that hard work and giving back were a life well-lived.

The reason he became an educator was to influence kids the way his mentors had impacted him. “Frankly, I saw it as a repayment for the people that encouraged me.�

In his Shakopee tenu re, McBroom has seen the district grow into a burgeoning suburb with more than 7,000 students, 850 employees and 10 buildings.

It’s a long way from the oneroom schoolhouse he walked across his family farm to attend as a boy.

A framed drawing of Woodward Brook School — located halfway between Princeton and Milaca — sits in McBroom’s office, a reminder of where his education started under the tutelage of one-room school teacher Irene Nordstrom.

Nordstrom, who had taught McBroom’s father, too, was someone who rea l ly ca red about kids and did whatever she needed to reach students on an individual level, McBroom said. He credits her with creating the fundamental base of how he views learning.

McBroom played football at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn., but was unsure what career to pursue. During his sophomore year, he toured Minnesota school systems and decided to perhaps teach and coach. “I never expected to stay in it for the long term,� he said.

But the right people came along at the right time, encouraging him to continue in education and pursue more administrative positions.

After four years of teaching, McBroom took an “administrative gopher job� in Long Prairie, Minn., which led him to seek his principal and superintendent licenses. In 1983, at 33 years old, McBroom became superintendent in Rush City, Minn.

McBroom arrived in Shakopee in summer 2000 to fi nd a district ushering in a new era.

Enrollment and diversity were growing but the district’s financial situation was bleak.

The district’s 2001 operating levy failed and McBroom made it his mission to get out into the community — a lesson from his former mentors. “You really need to be out there and you need to make sure people know you care about education and not just because it’s your job,� he said.

Shakopee High School teacher Todd Anderson was a member of the School Board that

McBroom always made getting into schools a priority. He reads to schoolchildren during Pearson Elementary’s Read-A-Thon. hired McBroom in 2000. A lot of superintendents might have walked away when the referendum failed, but McBroom rolled up his sleeves and got to work, Anderson told the crowd at McBroom’s retirement party earlier this month.

His visibility paid off, as the community has supported three bond referendum and two operating levies in his tenure.

McBroom credits the community’s tremendous support with Shakopee success over the years.

Mc B r o o m’s obj e c t iv it y, thoughtfulness and ability to communicate complex ideas have been invaluable, said community member John Green, who served on two district financial task forces. He described McBroom as the consummate education professional. “The community benefited from having a common leadership over the period [of unprecedented growth],� Green said.

McBroom is admired from within the district, too. The atmosphere in the staff lunchroom the day McBroom announced his retirement was “almost like a wake,� said Jon Jasken, a fi fth-grader teacher at Sweeney Elementary. “Jon, you are more respected then you will probably ever know by the teaching staff,� he said.

McBroom’s vision “pushed teachers in a way that made us better,� Jasken said. He appreciated McBroom’s open-door approachability and willingness to get into the classrooms, which assured teachers McBroom had a true sense of what was going on day-to-day in the schools.

McBroom lamented he no longer gets into the buildings as much as he’d like since his responsibilities have taken him further away from students. The job has become

more managerial and he’s had to adapt. “Hopefully, I evolved with the district.�

Shakopee has benefited from McBroom’s student-centered approach and focus during growth and tough economic times, Bergen said. She appreciates his ability to keep the big picture always front and center with losing his approachability.

Shakopee Education Association President Dale Anderson said while McBroom can clearly convey his vision, he is also willing to consider new perspectives. His ability to build relationships makes people feel a part of something bigger. “Just watching how he operates has really been an education for me,� said Anderson, a longtime high school teacher.

DOUGHNUTS, HUMOR Perhaps the person who knows McBroom best is his longtime administrative assistant Sarah Koehn. “I’ve never met anyone with any greater integrity. What you see is what you get.�

Whether staffi ng decisions, curriculum, technology or referendums, he’s “always thinking to the future for the community, trying to stay one step ahead of the needs of the kid and the needs of the families in the districts,� she said.

McBroom might come off as very professional, but his employees know his lighter side.

He has a dry sense of humor and a great eye roll, Anderson said.

Koehn said she can always tell McBroom’s mood when he sat on her office floor to “figure something out� or blasted the Beach Boys or “Top Gun� soundtrack on Friday afternoons. “He loves his family, friends, basketball, a good [cake] doughnut, a good belly laugh and really good meal,� Bergen said.

But McBroom is also humble

and quick to make everyone else around him look good, Koehn said. During a public forum last month, community members spoke about the district’s strengths and McBroom’s leadership. Koehn said she had wished her boss would have been there to hear the positive legacy he was leaving behind.

Whether as teacher, administrator or superintendent, McBroom sees himself as just a piece in the education puzzle, whose job it is “to make sure that everyone else does their job well, so kids can learn.�

It’s advice he passes on to the next Shakopee superintendent. “This is a good place and you just need to be yourself and work for the kids ‌ and if people see that, it’s going to help,â€? McBroom said.

FUTURE Shakopee isn’t done growing or changing, and a new superintendent will face a whole slate of issues from facility needs to uncertain state funding to changes in the delivery of education, McBroom said. While he wrestled with the decision to retire, he believes it’s the right time for someone new “to step in and help lay the groundwork for the next big decisions.�

So come tomorrow, he’ll take the fi rst summer break of his education career, which is both frightening and exciting. “I’ve had a good time. I’ve enjoyed it. There’s no doubt that I’m going to miss it,â€? he said. “It won’t be easy to walk away or do something else‌ “I’m just happy that I’ve been able to do some of that back for other people, to pass on all the positive inf luence I’ve had in my life. Hopefully, I’ve helped in a positive way to make sure some of the good things in this community and district happen.â€?

SHAKOPEE FOOTBALL

New class gives Sabers new challenges MSHSL adds seventh football class

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

In the fall of 2012 the Minnesota State High School League will add another class of football.

The top 32 school enrollments will make up the new Class 6A, giving MSHSL seven divisions in football.

What does that mean for Shakopee?

As one of the 32 biggest schools in the state of Minnesota, Shakopee High School will play in the biggest class along with schools like Eden Prairie, Wayzata, Edina, Hopkins and Prior Lake, to name a few.

Not only did the Sabers get placed in Class 6A but they got placed in a killer section that will make getting to the state tournament a real challenge.

Shakopee was placed i n Class 6A, Section 6 along with Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, M i n neton k a , Robbi n s d a le Armstrong, Wayzata and Minneapolis South.

Eden Prairie, Wayzata and Minnetonka have won six of the last eight Class 5A state titles.

Even though it makes his job a little harder, Shakopee head

coach Jody Stone said the addition of another class was the right thing to do.

“I thought it was something that needed to be done for the good of football,” he said. “It gives more schools a chance because the enrollment difference won’t be as big.”

For the past few years and this upcoming fall, the MSHSL had only six classes of football with Class 5A be the biggest.

Class 5A was for the schools with an enrollment larger than 1,246 students.

That meant that Wayzata, the biggest school in the state with a 2009-10 enrollment figure of 3,091, competed against schools with 1,800 fewer students for a state championship. Shakopee’s enrollment figure was 1,638.

“It was a huge disparity,” Stone said.

With the change to the top 32 enrollments, the difference changes to around 1,200 students.

“Hopefully, it helps out,” Stone said. “There’s still a 1,200-student difference. That’s a lot of kids.”

GETTING BETTER Even though in 2012 it will

Shakopee head football coach Jody Stone and the Sabers will join the new Class 6A in 2012. be one of the smallest schools in Class 6A, Shakopee will continue to grow and eventually be one of the bigger schools in

the state.

“We were going to have to deal with it one way or another,” Stone said. “It would have

been nice to have a little more time to get ready. We can’t pout about it. We have to fi nd ways to compete. We’re close. We just have to fi nd a way to keep getting better.”

Stone is already looking to fi nd ways to make the Sabers football program better.

One way is by scheduling better opponents.

Last year and this upcoming fall, Shakopee’s one nonconference opponent is Fridley, a Class 4A school.

After dominating the Missota Conference last year and finding out the Sabers were moving to the Class 6A, Stone quickly tried to make his schedule tougher.

He did that by adding Minnetonka to the schedule for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. He also said he will look to schedule the other teams in the section.

“These are teams that we have to play anyways, so we might as well schedule them,” Stone said. “Looking good in the regular season won’t help us in the sections.”

Ultimately though, it comes down to players, Stone said.

“In order to compete, we need kids that want to compete and work hard,” he said. “And so far we’ve seen that commitment this summer.”

He also said the program and the school have to take a look at the Missota Conference and if that conference is the right fit for Shakopee.

That discussion can’t take place until it is decided if Shakopee is going to be a one or two high school community.

“Are we going to be one large high school with 2,800 kids or two schools at 1,400 kids,” Stone said.

With that being said, Shakopee has a chance to doing some big things in football in the coming years.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Stone said. “We have a chance to do something special, if we can get by our section.”

Willie Dellwo hit a home run for Post No. 2 in the second inning against Chaska.

The Shakopee American Legion Post No. 2 baseball team had some time off but returned to the park with a big win.

Last Thursday, Shakopee rallied from four runs down to beat Chaska 6-4 at Joe Schleper Stadium.

“It was a very nice win,” head coach Ryan Niedfeldt said.

“Anytime you beat Chaska, its fun.”

Chaska grabbed an early 4-0 lead when it scored four unearned runs in the second inning.

The rally began when Chaska had runners on first and

second with nobody out and tried to sacrifice the runners over.

Starting pitcher Brandon Benner tried to get the lead runner at third but his throw went into left field and allowed two runs to score.

Chaska followed that up with a couple more hits to plate two more runs and take a 4-0 lead.

Shakopee chipped away and eventually took a 6-4 lead when

catcher Scott Bode delivered a two-out single in the bottom of the sixth inning that plated two runs to break a 4-4 tie.

In the bottom of the second, Willie Dellwo drilled a home run over the right field fence for a 4-1 lead. Post No. 2 added two runs in the fourth inning to cut the lead to 4-3 before Bode’s heroics in sixth.

Benner bounced back from the tough second inning to pitch a scoreless third before getting pulled in the fourth for Jordan Gunhus.

Gunhus kept Chaska off the board until he was pulled in the seventh inning with two out and runners on second and third for Zak Hoffman.

Hof f m a n st r uck out t he only batter he faced to earn the save and help improve Shakopee’s record to 4-5 on the season.

“We played really well except for that one inning,” Niedfeldt said. “We got the clutch hit when we needed it.”

SCHEDULE With a couple of rainouts in the past few weeks, Post No. 2 schedule has changed.

On July 14, they will host Chanhassen for a doubleheader beginning at 5 p.m.

Tournaments unkind to town teams

Johnson honored by fellow coaches

Canterbury moves up two stakes races

Shakopee softball coach Neil Johnson was named the Class 3A, Section 2 Coach of the Year.

Johnson led the Sabers softball team to its fi rst state tournament appearance since 1980.

Shakopee fi nished the season 2 0 - 4 after losing both games in the Class 3A state tournament.

The Sabers won their thirdstraight Missota Conference title this spring with a 13-1 record.

With a July 1 state shutdown threatening operations, Canterbury Park will run two stakes races tonight that had originally been scheduled for the weekend.

Because a 12-race card is planned and must be complete prior to a possible state shutdown at midnight today, tonight’s races will begin at 6:30.

The $64,000 Grade 3 Northlands Quarter Horse Futurity had been scheduled for July 2 but will be run as the 11th race today. It will be followed by the $ 25,050 Canterbury Park Quarter Horse Derby originally planned for July 4.

T he M i n nesot a R aci n g Commission (MRC), the regulatory body that oversees gaming at the state’s two racetracks, would shut its doors at midnight Thursday if the state does shut down.

With no regulatory body in place, Canterbury would not be allowed to conduct business as usual, putting more than 1,000 employees in temporary jeopardy.

The MRC is entirely funded by the racing industry, receives no money from the general fund, and has already received reimbursement for expected July expenses. However it is still subject to a shutdown.

The Indians’ record sits at 11-11.

Shakopee’s two amateur baseball teams competed in weekend tournaments and both came away with two losses.

The Shakopee Indians traveled to Austin to compete in t he presti gou s SPA Mtow n Challenge and left with a 1-2 record.

The Shakopee Coyotes traveled to Hinckley to compete in the Knights Invitational and left with a 0-2 record.

T he I ndia ns opened t he SPAMtown Challenge with a 7-2 loss to the Westmont (Ill.) Red Sox on Friday night.

They returned to Austin on Saturday and defeated the Illinois Jayhawks 13-3.

Their tournament would end when they lost to the Rochester Royals 3-1. The Royals fi nished the tournament as the runnersup.

Last Thursday, the Indians lost 4-2 to St. Louis Park.

As for the Coyotes, they lost to 4-2 to Maple Lake and 4-1 to St. Francis on Saturday to get eliminated from the Knights Invitational.

Prior to the tournament, Shakopee lost 8-7 to the Prior Lake Mudcats on Wednesday last week in Prior Lake.

The Mudcats won the game when they executed a suicide squeeze in the bottom of the ninth to score the winning run.

The winning run came after the Coyotes failed to score in the top of the ninth despite loading the bases with nobody out.

Andy Lazzari went 6 1/3 i n n i n g s , g iv i n g up s even runs. Nate Roberts took the loss after pitching 1 2/3 innings and giving up that winning run in the ninth.

Nick Latour led the offense going 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs, and an RBI.

Cheever gets first win of year at Raceway They say the fi rst one is the hardest to get and when you do, the most exhilarating.

For Turtle’s Bar and Grill Figure 8 division driver Steve Cheever his fi rst Figure 8 feature of the 2011 season was especially gratifying for another reason.

Cheever and his family are very close to the Mohlin family who had just suffered the loss of local racing legend Dick Mohlin.

A f ter bot h fa mi lies a nd many others participated in Dick’s Celebration of Life Service on Saturday most made it to Raceway Park on Sunday night for another special recognition event put on by the track and drivers.

Then Steve topped everything off by winning the second Figure 8 race of the evening.

Mark Bronstad got his third feature win of the year, tying him with Ricky Martin for season wins.

John Zumberge has had a close but no cigar kind of year in the Impact Printing Bombers but his refreshing attitude

that there are no big deals in racing and we’re here to have fun has served him well.

Sunday night his patience, persistence, and pluck paid off when he bested a 14-car field and four time feature winner Justin Kotchevar in the 20-lap main.

When the green flag waved to start the 20-lap 27-car Mini Stock feature, pole sitter Kyle Larkin did what he did the previous week, jumping into an early lead only to have a caution come out which closed the gap between him and his pursuers.

On the double-file re-start 13th-place starter Jason Heitz and ninth place starter Jack Purcell blasted by Larkin and into the lead with 2010 track champ Doug Schmitz not far behind.

For a while it looked like Purcell was on his way to a feature win but Heitz caught and passed him on the white flag lap for the win, his fourth of the year in NASCAR Event races.

Extreme Race Day will include creative horse races with unusual matchups and distances, but the stars of the day will be camels and ostriches.

“Clyde Ca mel,” “Da f-

fy Ostrich,” “Oasis Joe,” “Tweety Bird” and their other racing friends will be ready to greet fans before the dirt flies on the track.

side-by-side laps for Brent Kane to get around pole sitter and 2 0 0 8 Track Champ Jeremy Wolff who had won the previous week’s feature with Kane in second place. Kane once again demonstrating his mastery of both grooves, turned the tables by steadily pulling away from the field until a caution f lag waved on lap 21, putting Wolff once again alongside for the double fi le re-start.

Kane got a great start edging out Wolff for the lead and stayed there for the win which was his second feature of the year.

Wolff fi nished second followed

From the Shakopee Valley News, 1986 March 26, 1986 – Five possible sites for a new Highway 169 bridge have been selected. The alternatives have been sent to a consulting firm. Burton-Ashman will do an environmental assessment of the alternatives, taking into account the environmental, social and economic impact of each one.

Shakopee has five TIF districts.

March 26, 1986 – Men and women walked up and down First Avenue this week with signs which asked for help in safely crossing First Avenue.

The residents said First Avenue is full of hazards for pedestrians. The hazards they listed in the petition included: short “walk” lights, speeding, running of red lights, and failure of traffic to yield to pedestrians.

continued from previous page Chapter requirements of the zoning ordinance may be granted where the following circumstances are found to exist: When the applicant for the variance establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the official control. Practical difficulties The strict enforcement of the ordinance provisions would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration. Undue hardship means the following: The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by an official control in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls; The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property; The circumstances were not created by the landowner; The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality; and The problems extend beyond economic considerations. Economic considerations alone do not constitute an undue hardship practical difficulties if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance.

It has been demonstrated that a variance as requested will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of this Chapter harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance and when the variance as requested is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

The request is not for a use variance.
